Dashing Student

Chen Nan didn’t know what Jiang Li was thinking. He lifted his head and said to Jiang Li, his words mumbled and unclear, "Most of the snake venom in your body has been sucked out, but there’s still some residue left. It won’t cause too much harm to your body, so don’t worry about that."

"Now, don’t move around. I’m going to look for some herbs."

He knew well that around places where silver ringed snakes appeared, there were antidotal herbs that could be applied to Jiang Li’s wound to aid her recovery.

"Er..."

Jiang Li looked at Chen Nan in shock. His lips had swollen up like sausages, making him look rather comical.

But Jiang Li couldn’t find it in herself to laugh.

Because she knew.

Chen Nan had also been poisoned by the snake in order to save her.

And.

The venom he had been exposed to was far more serious than her own!

"Go ahead, I’ll wait for you here," Jiang Li whispered, watching Chen Nan’s receding figure. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings, and she felt quite upset.

She couldn’t deny that Chen Nan was a scumbag, and that it irritated her greatly.

But there was one thing she could admit even less.

Chen Nan had once again saved her life.

Whether it was the previous car accident or when she had just been bitten by the silver ringed snake on her thigh, he hadn’t hesitated, disregarding his own safety, and promptly saved her.

"Damn it, why did I have to meet this scumbag?"

"Why did he have to risk his own safety to save me?"

Jiang Li’s mood was inexplicably irritable.

If someone else had treated her like this, Officer Jiang would have offered herself to him long ago.

But she knew very well that Chen Nan was a scumbag through and through.

About ten minutes later, Chen Nan approached from a distance, his hands full of herbs, while he was also chewing on something, appearing to relish it.

"This is the antidotal herb that needs to be applied to your wound," Chen Nan spat out the chewed herbs into his hand and then applied them to her wound under Jiang Li’s reluctant gaze, "Don’t underestimate these herbs, they have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects."

Jiang Li did not doubt Chen Nan’s words, as she could see that the swelling on Chen Nan’s lips had clearly subsided a lot.

Chen Nan handed her several stems of the herbs and said softly, "Here, chew a few stems yourself too. Taken orally and applied externally, they’ll work better." After saying that, he collected the silver needles from her leg, each one particularly black.

Then, he helped her pull up her pants to her waist.

This action was quite pleasing to Jiang Li, because Chen Nan’s gaze was proper and he didn’t leer at her body.

This alone was enough to show that Chen Nan was a gentlemanly scumbag.

She put the herbs into her mouth and began to chew, her face immediately showing a painful and exaggerated expression, "Wow, what kind of herbs are these? How can they taste so bad?"

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

She spat out the herbs in her mouth, her tongue and the entire mouth feeling numb, bitter, and even a bit sour and astringent.

Chen Nan continued to chew on the herbs in his mouth, letting the juice overflow, with a slight smile on his face, "Good medicine tastes bitter and is beneficial to the disease; otherwise, how can it counteract the snake venom in your body?"

Jiang Li’s face was filled with distress, "But I really can’t swallow it..."

Before she could finish speaking.

Her pupils suddenly trembled, and her eyes showed a shocked expression.

It was obvious she hadn’t expected Chen Nan to kiss her out of the blue.

Before she could regain her senses, she felt Chen Nan transfer the chewed herbs from his mouth into hers, and then his tongue entered her mouth and gently prodded inside.

```

In an instant.

The herbs in her mouth slipped into her stomach.

Jiang Li’s brain went blank for a moment, and her heartbeat thundered in her ears like roaring thunder.

She stared at Chen Nan in a daze, her eyes filled with shock and shyness.

Chen Nan’s face was only inches away, and she could clearly feel his breath, the warm huff sending her cheeks increasingly hotter.

Moments later, Chen Nan slowly pulled away, his gaze warm and resolute, "There, isn’t it swallowed now?"

Jiang Li’s face flushed, unsure of how to respond, yet a complex tide of emotions welled up within her.

She had never imagined Chen Nan would choose such a method to administer the herbs.

The gesture left her both surprised and touched.

Ultimately.

All her emotions condensed into one phrase, "You jerk!"

Chen Nan rolled his eyes at her, then said, "Rest for a while. We’ll continue on our way later. The southwest location looks good, there’s a chance we might find a feng shui perfect tomb there."

Jiang Li looked toward the southwest and softly said, "I’ve been there before. The village is called Hu Family Village; it’s not large, and it’s inhabited by people with the surname Hu."

Chen Nan asked curiously, "How come you’ve been to such a remote village?"

"Of course, it was to investigate that missing case," Jiang Li sighed with a sense of helplessness. "Dai Shouyi’s former secretary was named Hu Jing, and she came from Hu Family Village."

"After she disappeared, many people came to the village to investigate, but even her parents don’t know their daughter’s whereabouts, not knowing if she’s alive or dead, their days marred with tears."

"Her poor mother cried until she went blind."

Speaking of this, she paused, then anxiously looked at Chen Nan, "Daoist Chen, they say you Daoists have many secrets and arcane methods unknown to others. Is there any way you can find Hu Jing’s whereabouts?"

Chen Nan looked into the distance, murmuring, "There are indeed some secrets that could reveal Hu Jing’s location, but there’s a prerequisite..."

Jiang Li, overjoyed, immediately asked, "What’s the prerequisite?"

Chen Nan replied, "That is if Hu Jing is still alive."

"If Hu Jing has indeed passed away, even Daoist methods won’t be able to find her whereabouts."

"We do what we can and leave the rest to fate, let’s continue on our way!"

Jiang Li nodded solemnly, then stood up and walked toward Hu Family Village with the support of Chen Nan.

Because Jiang Li had been bitten by a Silver Ring snake, her movements were limited and quite inconvenient. What should have been an hour’s journey took two, and only then they emerged from Azure Dragon Mountain.

Not far ahead lay a small mountain village with just a few dozen households.

Chen Nan glanced back at the stretching mountain range and then towards the mountain range more than ten miles to the south, a hint of joy in his eyes, "I never expected to find such a feng shui treasure here."

Jiang Li looked puzzled, "Why can’t I feel anything special?"

Chen Nan pointed to the mountain range ahead, "That mountain range has three main peaks. Although they are not very tall, the three main peaks are of nearly equal height, resembling three desks, hence the name ’Three Desk Tomb’."

"Such feng shui arrangements are rare, able to bring forth wealthy merchants or high officials among descendants."

Jiang Li nodded thoughtfully, "Although I don’t understand this, it does indeed seem to be quite nice."

Chen Nan turned and looked back, "Now look at Azure Dragon Mountain behind us. The terrain of this mountain is neither high nor steep. From a distance, doesn’t it resemble the back of a tortoise?"

"This is also an excellent feng shui treasure. Tortoises symbolize longevity, which could bring some long-lived individuals to the Zhao Family, as well as high-ranking officials."

"If the Zhao Family’s ancestors were buried here, the family would surely become a super-rich household that could rival nations."

Jiang Li displayed a playful smile, "If you really like this place, why not keep it for yourself?"

Chen Nan raised an eyebrow, his face revealing an intriguing smile, "Then would you be willing to be buried here with me?"
