Chapter 119.1 - Incurable
When Lou Qingwu said the last three words, Ruan Xiuren’s face completely darkened.
He suddenly tightened his hands to fists and viciously punched the wall, “Ruan Zhen!”
He’d thought of all different possibilities but he’d never thought that Ruan Zhen would be that vicious.
To actually place an incurable poison, and it was a voodoo worm too!
Hateful!
“Then what do we do?” After his anger passed, the only question in front of Ruan Xiuren was how to protect Ning’er’s life.
He looked at the Daoist priest with pleading eyes and an expectant face, “Daoist priest, is there any hope for her?”
Lou Qingwu looked down, her hands lightly grabbing at the prayer beads.
Her expression was unreadable before half a beat later, she spoke softly, “There is one method. I can temporarily help her wake up, but whether or not she does, is up to the madam.”
“En? There’s really hope?!”
Ruan Xiuren was elated, he’d really asked the right person!
“Daoist priest, no matter the price, I agree!”
Lou Qingwu only softly agreed, “You should probably wait until after your madam has woken up before speaking.”
She opened the medicinal trunk again, “Disciple, follow me. Ruan family head, you should wait here. Without my orders, no one is to enter past the screen.”
“Good, good.” Ruan family head was scared that she’d flip back so he just agreed to everything she said.
He stood without moving and watched as the Daoist priest walked to the bed again.
Thousand Face held the medicinal trunk and couldn’t help but stretch his head to take a look at the mythical ninth madam.
Even though he’d seen the portrait before, when he saw her real face clearly, he couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.
This ninth madam was really similar looking to his master, no wonder they were mother and daughter.
He couldn’t help but turn around to look at Lou Qingwu but he didn’t see anything abnormal in her gaze.
Lou Qingwu lightly pursed her lips and lifted up the silk curtains.
She didn’t look at the ninth madam’s face, instead, she lifted up her sleeve to reveal a pale white wrist.
She spread it open and turned to Thousand Face, “Silver needle, knife.”
Thousand Face passed a silver needle and knife to Lou Qingwu.
He watched as Lou Qingwu first placed the silver needle against the ninth madam’s pulse before taking the sharp knife against her wrist.
She lightly slashed it and instantly, blood spurted from the ninth madam.
Lou Qingwu didn’t care as in the next moment, she lifted up her own sleeve and in the same spot, slashed her own wrist too.
At the same time, her arm was also dripping with blood.
Thousand Face was shocked and was just about to say something before Lou Qingwu waved her hand at him, stopping him.
She then placed her wrist’s wound on the ninth madam’s wound as blood from the two different wounds started to gather together.
Slowly, a scene that shocked Thousand Face even more appeared.
He watched as the original wound that was dripping blood, slowly stopped flowing blood.
He didn’t know for how long, but Lou Qingwu finally slowly lifted up her hand.
At the same time, she picked up the wound medicine from Thousand Face and placed some on her own wound, as well as the ninth madam’s.
She then bandaged both of their wounds.
When it was finished, Lou Qingwu lightly let out a breath.
But underneath the human skin mask, her face was shockingly pale.
“Let’s leave.”
She ordered as Lou Qingwu first left the screen.
Ruan Xiuren quickly walked up to them, first looking beyond the screen before unable to help but look at Lou Qingwu, “Daoist priest, my concubine, she …”
“She’ll wake up a bit later. But, if the person who harmed your concubine like this strikes again, your madam will fall unconscious like this again.”
“She’ll wake up a bit later. But, if the person who harmed your concubine like this strikes again, your madam will fall unconscious like this again.”
The momentary joy on Ruan Xiuren’s face dimmed again, “Ah, then what do we do? Is it really incurable? Daoist priest, didn’t you say there was hope? Is there another method we can try?”
Lou Qingwu looked down, “I said that those three voodoo worms were incurable. But compared to ‘Absolute Half Day’ and ‘Thousand Voodoo Worms’ that instantly take someone’s life, ‘Thousand Days Intoxicated’’s poison is a lot less. It’ll only make someone unconscious, it’s not enough to take their life.”
“But being like this forever isn’t a solution. I hope that the Daoist priest can help my concubine, no matter what the Daoist priest wants, I can get it.”
Lou Qingwu’s eyes became more complicated as she turned to face the calm ninth madam beyond the screen.
“But being like this forever isn’t a solution. I hope that the Daoist priest can help my concubine, no matter what the Daoist priest wants, I can get it.”
Lou Qingwu’s eyes became more complicated as she turned to face the calm ninth madam beyond the screen.
Half a moment later, she spoke softly, “Method, there is one but it’s a bit horrific.”
“Daoist priest, please speak.”

TL note:
LQW can keep her voodoo away from me, no slashing for me.
