A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

I'm not too sure about Chapter 232 either.

Zhou Tong hesitated, unsure whether to take action. If he moved even slightly and injured something else, he might suffer severe bleeding.

Jiang Yichen noticed her worry. "It's alright, go ahead and do it. I won't do anything rash."

Zhou Tong was still somewhat skeptical, because many times even people who are very good at enduring pain will lose control of themselves without anesthesia.

It's not that I don't believe what he says, it's just that sometimes muscle movement isn't something you can simply stop doing just because you say you won't.

Zhou Tong noticed that the blood seeping from the arrowhead was somewhat dark, so she leaned closer and said, "Your arrowhead is poisoned!"

"Then you need to remove the arrowhead quickly, otherwise your poisoning will get worse."

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I think it's alright."

"What do you mean 'okay'? If you don't take it out, your life will be in danger."

Zhou Tong only brought a few snake-entwined pills and a few knives with her today. She didn't have any other antidote pills on her. However, if Jiang Yichen continues like this, even if he doesn't die, he'll probably have enough problems to deal with later.

With a heavy heart, she took out all the Snake-Entwining Vine Pills. "These are Snake-Entwining Vine Pills. They have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. I don't have any other detoxifying pills on me right now, so this is somewhat suitable for my condition. However, this medicine has a side effect."

Before Zhou Tong could finish speaking, Jiang Yichen swallowed the pill.

Forget it.

He returned from outside, so he probably didn't pass by that room. She had already discovered that the exotic herb was placed under a large tree outside the room. If no one moved it, Jiang Yichen probably wouldn't have smelled it.

That's all we can hope for.

Zhou Tong didn't have time to think about all that. The blood in front of him was flowing more and more, and it was getting darker and darker. If it wasn't treated, it might really affect his health.

She moved closer and closer, carefully using a scalpel to further separate the area around the arrow in Jiang Yichen's abdomen. When she saw the arrow inside, her brows furrowed even more. "This arrow has barbs on it. I can't handle it with my equipment."

She thought for a moment, put away the scalpel, and first sprinkled some hemostatic powder on Jiang Yichen's wounds. "You took the Snake-Entwining Vine Pill. Even if it's not the right medicine, it can temporarily suppress the onset of your toxins."

She grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on him, then draped another piece of clothing over herself. "Come on, let's go back to the bookstore."

"bookstore?"

"Yes, I have better equipment in my bookstore. I can only handle it for you when you get to the bookstore."

"This……"

Jiang Yichen hesitated for a moment, "I can't let others know about this."

"I know, let's go."

Seeing that he still hadn't moved, Zhou Tong asked, "Are you still able to walk?"

"no problem."

"Then let's go. Your wound can't be left untreated; the longer it's left, the worse it will get."

Zhou Tong opened the door and went out. She saw that the little maid who was guarding the door had fainted. She guessed that the sound of her falling to the ground had come from here.

You worried for nothing.

She glanced back at Jiang Yichen, who was following behind her. He looked relaxed and carefree, and apart from being a little pale, he seemed more energetic than her.

Considering Jiang Yichen's current condition, even if he seemed normal now, Zhou Tong had seen his wounds and knew that there was no time to lose, so she quickened her pace.

She didn't have time to say goodbye to Madam Jiang, nor to inform Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun, and hurriedly walked out.

But when she turned around, she saw Jiang Yichen lagging behind her not far away.

Despite the late autumn weather, he still had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

Zhou Tong knew he was probably feeling very strained, so she slowed her pace and waited for him to come up to her. "Are you alright?"

"fine."

Zhou Tong nodded, but didn't call him out on it.

Just as they arrived at the entrance, they encountered Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun, with Jiang Mingyun still holding the potted plant.

Zhou Tong felt a terrible headache coming on; it was exactly what she feared!

What's infuriating is that the two of them knew nothing and kept walking towards them. Jiang Yichen was injured and couldn't walk fast, so he was passively exposed to the scent of the alien immortals.

"This little pot of chrysanthemums looks so shabby, but I didn't expect it to smell so nice."

"Brother, do you have time to attend the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet today?"

Jiang Mingyun waved the strange immortal in front of Jiang Yichen. When Zhou Tong saw this, she slapped her head and let out a soft wail.

"Well, Hanzhang, Young Master Jiang asked me to buy a book a few days ago. The book has arrived, and I happened to run into him today, so I thought I'd take him back to get it, instead of leaving it at Youjian Bookstore."

"Are you still going to deal with this potted plant? Hurry up, I need to do some research after I help Young Master Jiang retrieve the books, so I won't stay with you any longer."

"You haven't told us yet what Mother did with Bitao after she sent us away."

Jiang Mingyun was incredibly curious.

Zhou Tong looked at Jiang Yichen's increasingly flushed face and felt anxious. Just as she was wondering how to respond, Jiang Yichen spoke up, "You've been hanging around outside every day lately, don't you need to study anymore?"

The pressure from their bloodline made Jiang Mingyun extremely afraid of her older brother, so she hurriedly dragged Zhou Hanzhang away, saying, "I'll study, Brother Hanzhang even tutors me from time to time. Since you have something to do, I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

Seeing how fast she was walking, Zhou Tong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "I didn't expect your brother to be so imposing."

Jiang Yichen did not answer her question. "When Mingyun handed me that pot of chrysanthemums just now, I smelled the fragrance and felt my mind was unusually clear and my blood rushed to my head. Why is that?"

Zhou Tong dared not tell him the truth, and stammered, "Well, I'm not quite sure either. I suppose that potted plant has a refreshing effect?"

The aphrodisiac effect created by the combination of the immortal and the snake-entwined vine is unstoppable; sexual intercourse between men and women is necessary to break it.

Zhou Tong wanted to remove the arrowhead from him as soon as possible, and then find him a woman to detoxify him. Otherwise, if something happened, given Jiang Yichen's rumored personality, she would probably have to move to another place.

"Your complexion looks strange; it seems the poison has taken effect. Do you know what kind of poison it is?"

"Of course I don't know."

Zhou Tong was relieved; it seemed this could be attributed to the arrow poison.

"You know?" Jiang Yichen asked again when she didn't speak.

"I didn't develop this poison. Do you take me for some kind of superhuman who can tell what poison you've been given just by looking at you? Let's go back to the shop first."

Zhou Tong thought he was walking too slowly, so she grabbed his uninjured side and dragged him along, which finally made him walk faster.

After rushing for a while, they finally arrived at Youjian Bookstore. Zhou Tong didn't even have time to respond to Xiao Ba's words. Pointing at Jiang Yichen, she instructed Xiao Ba, "I need to treat his injuries. During this time, unless I come out in person, no one is allowed to enter the backyard."
