Why was she poisoned? And who poisoned her without her even noticing? Besides causing obesity, what other harm did this poison cause to the body?

Countless questions sprang up in Meiting's mind like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

"Um, Miting, are you alright?"

Although Meiting is currently just a koi fish, Chen Yuze still saw a clear look of being severely defeated in her big fish eyes.

"I have no idea."

Mei Ting shook her head, her tone noticeably more subdued than before.

However, you can't really blame her for it.

After all, not everyone can easily accept being poisoned for no reason.

Moreover, Meiting was the Dragon King of the Crystal Dragon Palace in the East Sea. Before this, she never imagined that there would actually be someone in this world so audacious as to poison her.

And if nothing unexpected happens, the only people who could poison her without her noticing would probably be those close to her.

What could be worse than being betrayed by someone you love?

"Mr. Chen, is there any cure for my poison?"

"Yes, of course I can." Looking at Meiting, who had suddenly become weak and listless, Chen Yuze touched the fish scales on her body with a pained expression. "It just will take a little time. In the meantime, you can stay at my house without worry."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Chen."

Mei Ting's voice still sounded weak: "But right now, can I have some peace and quiet?"

"Row."

Chen Yuze didn't say much about Meiting's request.

After picking her up from the chopping board, he put her back into the basin filled with water from the fairy well: "Then you can stay here for a while, I'll come to see you later."

……

As soon as Chen Yuze came out of the infirmary, Daji immediately poked her head over and asked with a face full of curiosity, "My benefactor, how is that little koi fish?"

"This is a bit troublesome. It seems that we have been poisoned by a kind of toxin that has a delayed onset but is difficult to remove."

Chen Yuze did not deliberately hide Meiting's situation.

Although she had promised Meiting not to tell anyone her name, Meiting would have to stay in the Chen family's courtyard for a while in order to get the antidote.

Let my aunt in advance

It's not necessarily a bad thing that the women know about her situation.

"Are you poisoned?"

Upon hearing this, Daji immediately showed a look of great regret: "Then does that mean we can't eat it?"

What's going on in your head?

Looking at Daji with surprise at her desire for Meiting, Chen Yuze immediately gave her a chop to the head: "Mei... Little Koi's true form is a real dragon. I advise you, little fox, not to have any dangerous thoughts, okay?"

"Hehe, I was just kidding~"

Daji rubbed the spot where Chen Yuze had slashed her with his hand, and then playfully stuck out her tongue.

But a short while later, You Rong and Rui Xue called her to go to the pond to look at the fish. Clearly, they didn't take Mei Ting's matter too seriously.

"Why does it feel like Daji has become even more like a child after her bloodline evolved?"

Looking at the figures lying by the pond, Chen Yuze shrugged and went to the study on the second floor.

Chen Yuze had indeed read about the poison in Meiting's body in the "Records of Benevolent Hearts in Mountains and Seas." Taking advantage of Meiting's quiet time alone, he could go and double-check if he had remembered it correctly.

……

That evening, Chen Yuze used the specialties from the East China Sea that Lu Doudou had brought to cook an exceptionally sumptuous seafood feast for the girls.

Although these marine creatures are quite different from those in Chen Yuze's previous life, cooking them is no obstacle for Chen Yuze, who has the part-time job of 'Master Chef of Mountains and Seas'.

After all, just by touching the ingredients with his hands, Chen Yuze could automatically come up with the best cooking method for those ingredients in his mind.

In a sense, it really is something you can do with just your hands.

"The shrimp is so delicious!"

In the courtyard, Daji was holding a freshly grilled shrimp in her hands, her mouth greasy from eating it.

Behind her, You Rong and Rui Xue each had a grilled fish in their hands, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

"I never imagined that seafood could be cooked so deliciously."

As she slowly savored the fish head stew with tofu in the center of the table, Moxi gave it high praise: "When I went to Donghai before, I never ate anything this delicious. I always felt like I was ripped off by that woman Meiting."

"Ok?"

Perhaps because his attention was focused on Daji and the others, Chen Yuze didn't listen to Moxi's words very carefully.

He only snapped out of his reverie after he seemed to have heard the name 'Meiting': "What did you just say, Meixi?"

"nothing."

She rolled her eyes at Chen Yuze, annoyed. She wasn't going to repeat the compliments she had just given him because he wasn't listening to her.

Chen Yuze shrugged helplessly, pretending he had misheard.

After a long while, Moxi finally swallowed a piece of hot and fragrant soft tofu and started talking to Chen Yuze again.

"Speaking of which, what happened to that koi fish from this afternoon?"

"I checked some medical books, and it seems she's been poisoned by a poison called 'Authentic Great Flying Pillar.' This poison is very peculiar; it's not only colorless and odorless, but it also doesn't take effect immediately after exposure. Only when the toxin slowly spreads throughout the poisoned person's body will it begin to slowly accumulate as fat. As a result, the poisoned person's figure will become increasingly bloated and obese. Once the amount of fat accumulates to a certain level, the toxin will begin to damage the poisoned person's meridians and pollute their blood, causing their blood to regress and rendering them completely useless."

"So vicious?"

After hearing Chen Yuze's explanation, Mo happy was immediately shocked by the deadly poison called "Authentic Great Flying Pillar".

This makes your blood rush backward and turns you into a fat woman. It would be better to just die.

Is there any hope for that koi fish?

"Of course, don't you even know who I am?" With a smug look on his face, Chen Yuze couldn't help but proudly pat his chest:

"Although it takes a while, as long as the detoxification speed can exceed the toxin diffusion speed, this so-called 'authentic flying pillar' can be completely expelled from the body. Moxi, don't worry too much."

228. Detoxification

The next morning, after preparing breakfast for the girls, Chen Yuze went to the clinic on the first floor to observe Meiting's condition.

"Good morning. After thinking about it all night, are you feeling a little calmer?"

But just as Chen Yuze finished speaking, Meiting's voice, now full of energy, came from the basin.

"Who do you think I am? I was just feeling down for a while. You don't really think I'm no good anymore, do you?"

"..."

Twitching his eyelids, Chen Yuze was momentarily unsure whether Meiting was from the East China Sea or...

They came from Japan.

After all, the art of Yin and Yang is only prevalent in Japan.

Of course, he wouldn't bother arguing with a dragon that had turned into a fish about such things.

"I'm relieved to see you're alright. By the way, I looked through some medical books yesterday, and I've pretty much figured out what's wrong with the poison in your body."

After saying that, Chen Yuze found a chair and sat down, and explained the situation about the 'authentic Big Flying Pillar' to Meiting in detail.

"Making your bloodline regress is bad enough, but to make you a fat woman for life?! That's too cruel!"

After listening to Chen Yuze's description of the 'authentic Big Flying Pillar', Meiting immediately extended a particularly warm greeting to the entire family of the poisoner.

She continued her tirade until she was breathless, then finally focused her round, sharp eyes back on Chen Yuze: "Mr. Chen, since you could tell at a glance that the poison I was ingested was 'Genuine Flying Pillar,' you wouldn't just stand by and watch me turn into a fat, dead woman, would you?"

"That's natural."

Seeing that Meiting was clearly more concerned about her figure than her bloodline regression, Chen Yuze nodded with amusement: "It's just that this 'genuine flying pillar' is quite troublesome to treat, so Meiting, you'll probably be staying at my house for quite a while."

"It's not a big problem." Upon hearing that she could still be saved, Meiting immediately perked up:

"As long as I'm not a fat woman for the rest of my life, I'd be willing to stay here for hundreds of years, let alone three or five!"

"It won't take that long."

Chen Yuze couldn't help but shake his head, amused.

"It will probably only take three to four months of treatment to clear all the toxins from your body. However, clearing toxins is one thing, and losing fat is another. This is because the fat has accumulated slowly due to the toxins, so it cannot be naturally eliminated from the body. Whether you can lose weight again depends on your own efforts. Of course, if you need it, I can also provide you with some weight loss advice."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Chen!"

Looking at Chen Yuze with exceptional sincerity, this was also the first time Mei Ting felt fortunate to have come to Changqing Mountain.

"Then let's not delay, let's start detoxing for you now."

Chen Yuze patted the white cloth-covered cutting board in front of Meiting in the basin and asked softly, "Do you want me to carry you out?"

"Mr. Chen, there's no need to trouble yourself with such a small matter."

With a shake of her head, Meiting flicked her tail and leaped into the air, landing on the chopping board in front of Chen Yuze.

"Judging by your energy, the poison from that 'Genuine Flying Pillar' shouldn't have completely corrupted you yet."

Reaching out to touch the fish scales on Mei Ting's body, Chen Yuze immediately took out more than ten Ice Soul Silver Needles and neatly inserted them into various parts of Mei Ting's body.

It's worth mentioning that the detoxification process is significantly slower than a massage treatment. A single detoxification session takes about an hour.

Fortunately, Chen Yuze stayed by Meiting's side throughout the whole process, which prevented her thoughts from wandering and causing her to have some inexplicable wild thoughts.

"Mr. Chen."

Perhaps feeling that she had nothing better to do, Meiting, who was covered in needles, decided to chat with Chen Yuze.

To be honest, although she only arrived at Changqingshan yesterday, Meiting is still quite interested in Chen Yuze.

Normally, when people see her in the Crystal Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, they always treat her with utmost respect.

While there are indeed people like Chen Yuze who show her no fear whatsoever and can talk to her with a normal attitude, they are all people like Mo Xi and Bai Hua, whose status is not much different from hers.

However, such a person cannot be by Meiting's side all the time, so Meiting has always lived in a rather lonely environment.

Being able to chat with Chen Yuze like friends in this room was actually quite a novel experience for Meiting.

To quote a popular line from Chen Yuze's previous life, it would be: "Man, you have successfully caught my attention."
