The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Until Death Do Us Part

Huangfu Jingchen noticed she was in a good mood and glanced at the Undying Poison Doctor. Although the Undying Poison Doctor was rolling his eyes, he didn’t genuinely appear displeased. Huangfu Jingchen took a small mink out from his sleeve and said, ”I happened to pick up this little creature on my way to find the Poison Doctor. I didn’t expect it to be something the senior Poison Doctor wanted. So the deal is, the senior heals you, and I give him this little creature!”

”Is it a Cold Bone Yan Mink cub?” Xia Wenjin was surprised.

In her past life, her master taught her for a year and then hastily left, saying he was going to travel the world. The real reason was that he had accidentally spotted a Cold Bone Yan Mink and wanted to capture it as a pet.

The Cold Bone Yan Mink is not an ordinary creature. Although it looks small, it has great potential. It seems inconspicuous, but when it erupts, even a Super First-class expert might not be able to catch or defeat it.

In her past life, she didn’t know if her master ever caught a Cold Bone Yan Mink. But now, he had managed to obtain a cub. Once the Yan Mink matures, it becomes wild and hard to tame, elusive and cunning, impossible to raise properly. However, a young Yan Mink is different; as long as it is obtained within ten days of birth and properly trained, once it recognizes its owner, it will remember its way back even from the ends of the earth and be extremely loyal and protective.

The master would definitely be very happy.

Huangfu Jingchen saw her surprise tinged with joy and carefully placed the small mink into her hand, saying, ”Touch it, the fur is very soft!”

Xia Wenjin looked at the little thing, which was only as long as a palm including its tail, and indeed it looked very cute, so she reached out and stroked it, smoothing its fur.

Suddenly, the little mink jumped up and bit her on the palm.

Xia Wenjin exclaimed, ”Ah!”

Huangfu Jingchen was also startled, throwing the little mink to the ground, and grabbed Xia Wenjin, saying, ”Wenjin, are you okay?”

The little mink bit quite hard, causing her palm to bleed. When thrown to the ground by Huangfu Jingchen, it merely flipped over and was unscathed, its round eyes looking innocently at both Huangfu Jingchen and Xia Wenjin.

Seeing Huangfu Jingchen throw the little mink, the Undying Poison Doctor was also shocked. He initially wanted to reach out to catch it but, remembering that he hadn’t healed anyone yet and this mink wasn’t his, he retracted his hand.

Seeing the distressed look on his face, obviously displeased with Huangfu Jingchen, he snorted angrily, blowing his beard and glaring.

At this time, Huangfu Jingchen couldn’t care about anything else. He worriedly looked at Xia Wenjin’s palm.

Crimson beads of blood oozed from Xia Wenjin’s palm, prompting Huangfu Jingchen to say anxiously to the Undying Poison Doctor, ”Senior, the teeth of the Yan Mink are poisonous. It bit Wenjin, what should we do?”

The Undying Poison Doctor snorted with his nostrils pointing upward.

Xia Wenjin smiled and said, ”Don’t worry, baby Yan Minks’ teeth aren’t poisonous right after they’re born!”

This, too, was something her master taught in her past life.

Xia Wenjin couldn’t help but glance at the Undying Poison Doctor again.

The Undying Poison Doctor gave her a rare look. This little girl knew quite a lot. His eyes fell on the stack of paper, and he reached out, ”Let me take a look!”

Xia Wenjin said, ”The paper is stained. I’ll make a copy before giving it to you!”

”Pretentious, haven’t I ever seen blood?” The Undying Poison Doctor grew impatient.

Xia Wenjin: ”...”

Alright, when the old man calls himself ”I,” he’s really unhappy. It’s better not to annoy him. Fortunately, the epidemic isn’t transmitted by coughed-up blood, and the blood that was coughed up earlier has dried. It just looks frighteningly red.

She handed over the stack of papers.

Without a word, Huangfu Jingchen tore his undergarment’s hem to bandage Xia Wenjin’s hand. The Undying Poison Doctor couldn’t stand it, ”Kid, aren’t you going to check if my little mink is injured from the fall? If it’s hurt, I’ll immediately turn around and leave!”

Huangfu Jingchen had already bandaged Xia Wenjin’s hand. Thinking that the key to the deal with the Undying Poison Doctor was this little mink, if something happened to the little mink and the senior Poison Doctor didn’t care about Wenjin, it would be a disaster.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly went to check the little mink on the ground.

The little mink was still standing in place, its little black eyes looking at the approaching Huangfu Jingchen, not running away.

As soon as Huangfu Jingchen held out his hand, the little mink jumped into his palm.

Huangfu Jingchen saw its agility and knew it wasn’t injured.

The Undying Poison Doctor took the stack of papers Xia Wenjin handed over. The top one was clean, but blank, and he moved it to the back to check the second one.

Huangfu Jingchen approached Xia Wenjin, and the little mink used its two short hind legs to push off his palm, suddenly leaping onto Xia Wenjin’s right arm and slipping into her sleeve.

It moved so quickly that when Xia Wenjin amusingly fished it out of her sleeve, she found it comfortably lying in her sleeve’s bottom, seemingly ready to sleep.

Huangfu Jingchen was about to reach out again, but seeing the smile on Xia Wenjin’s face, he said: ”You play with it for the next two days! The senior Poison Doctor said the little mink doesn’t eat or drink for the first ten days after birth. You don’t have to worry about taking care of it!”

Xia Wenjin wrapped her fingers around the fluffy tail of the little mink and nonchalantly said, ”Okay!”

The little mink seemed annoyed, and with a jump, it accurately leapt back into Xia Wenjin’s sleeve to sleep.

At this point, the Undying Poison Doctor had seen the formula Xia Wenjin wrote. His eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp light flashing within them. His hands moved faster as he examined the stack of papers, his gaze becoming keen. Suddenly, he reached out with clawed hands, lunging sharply towards Xia Wenjin.

Huangfu Jingchen was shocked, quickly stepping forward to block and saying, ”Senior, please have mercy!”

Why did he suddenly make a move when everything seemed fine? Attacking someone isn’t the way to heal them. Huangfu Jingchen felt troubled. Was the Undying Poison Doctor’s intention actually to harm others? Or did he develop a murderous intent upon seeing the formula?

Regardless, he couldn’t let Xia Wenjin come to harm in his presence.

Even though he knew his skills were no match for the Undying Poison Doctor’s.

The Undying Poison Doctor seemed to anticipate his intervention. The trajectory of his right hand didn’t change at all, while his left hand struck towards Huangfu Jingchen.

Huangfu Jingchen recognized the danger of this strike. If it hit, he might sustain severe injuries. But if Wenjin got caught by him, given her frail health, she might not survive.

Thus, he didn’t dodge or evade and continued to attack the Undying Poison Doctor.

Risking severe injury, he hoped to hurt the Undying Poison Doctor, making him hold back if he didn’t want to be injured himself, and retract his claw aimed at Xia Wenjin.

However, the Undying Poison Doctor didn’t retract his move at all; he sidestepped like a phantom, passing by Huangfu Jingchen’s right side like the wind, his right hand carrying a strong killing intent, continuing to attack Xia Wenjin.

Huangfu Jingchen intercepted in vain, but because of the Poison Doctor’s change in position, the palm strike aimed at him was also withdrawn.

Even as Huangfu Jingchen attempted to rescue again, it was obviously too late. His eyes bulged with rage as he shouted fiercely, ”Undying Poison Doctor, if you harm her, I will fight with you to the death forever!”
