Hu Xiaobei, who had long anticipated how Lin Ling'er would respond, chuckled softly and said, "Sister, I knew you might be hungry, so I specially prepared some dishes earlier. Why don't you have a bite now!"

"Okay!"

Nodding lightly, Lin Ling'er, somewhat tempted, quickly walked towards the table.

As she stepped forward, Lin Ling'er suddenly collapsed forward!

Hu Xiaobei noticed this and quickly reached out to catch her!

At that moment, a delicate fragrance clung to Hu Xiaobei's nose...

"It smells so good!"

Praising her scent, Hu Xiaobei said with great concern, "Sister, are you alright!"

Glancing at Hu Xiaobei, Lin Ling'er quickly shook her head and said, "I... I'm fine, it's just... my legs feel a bit weak!"

"That's normal! You didn't have a meal earlier, so it's natural to feel weak now!"

While explaining this, Hu Xiaobei carefully helped her to the table, and after seating her properly, Hu Xiaobei scooped rice for her...

Looking at the aromatic rice, Lin Ling'er took a deep breath and said emotionally, "Thank you! It's been so long since someone treated me so well!"

"From now on, I can treat you like this anytime!"

With that, Hu Xiaobei handed over the chopsticks and said, "Let's not talk about that for now, let's eat quickly! Once you finish, we need to proceed with the treatment!"

Hu Xiaobei knew very well the importance of striking while the iron is hot...

So at this moment, Hu Xiaobei planned to take the opportunity to completely remove her poison!

Hearing Hu Xiaobei mention continuing the detoxification, she slowly nodded...

Very quickly, Lin Ling'er started to eat!

Since Hu Xiaobei had already eaten earlier, he just sat quietly by the side, watching...

Initially, Hu Xiaobei remained quite composed.

But gradually, Hu Xiaobei started to feel a little hungry!

This was because Hu Xiaobei found her way of eating extremely enticing!

"Xiaobei, why… why are you looking at me? Do I have rice grains at the corner of my mouth?"

She glanced at Hu Xiaobei, speaking with infinite shyness!

From earlier on, Lin Ling'er had noticed Hu Xiaobei constantly watching her.

Initially, it was okay!

But later on, Lin Ling'er found his gaze increasingly intense, making her unable to resist asking out loud.

Hearing her shy and soft question, Hu Xiaobei quickly waved his hand and said, "No! There's nothing like rice grain. I was just watching you eat so deliciously and started feeling hungry myself!"

Listening to Hu Xiaobei's honest answer, she paused slightly and quickly chuckled, saying, "Oh! Then I'll share some of this rice with you!"

"Forget it, Sister, I don't need it! I really have eaten earlier!"

Hu Xiaobei knew, despite his eyes being tempted, his stomach was full!

So even if he were to eat, he couldn't really consume more!

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's straightforward response, Lin Ling'er said nothing more; instead, she happily continued eating...

Twenty minutes later, Hu Xiaobei looked at her seriously...

And then, Hu Xiaobei spoke solemnly, "Sister, I am about to start the final treatment! It still requires acupuncture, so it might hurt a bit. Please bear with it!"

"Alright!"

Understanding that Hu Xiaobei was curing her, Lin Ling'er readily agreed...

Feeling her decisiveness, Hu Xiaobei didn't say more and cautiously took out the pre-prepared silver needles...

After fiddling lightly in his hand, Hu Xiaobei quickly focused on her, soon contemplating the treatment plan!

A minute later, Hu Xiaobei finalized the treatment strategy.

In an instant, Hu Xiaobei swiftly thrust the silver needle in his hand...

As the needle flew swiftly, it pierced directly into Lin Ling'er's scapula...

The sudden needle brought her a trace of bitterness...

Instinctively, she wanted to remove it, but instantly recalled Hu Xiaobei's earlier words...

Silently taking a deep breath, she gave up...

Seeing Lin Ling'er, Hu Xiaobei continued to act, and five minutes later, completed inserting all the silver needles...

Once done, Hu Xiaobei was about to say something but suddenly noticed a slight anomaly in Lin Ling'er's expression...

"Sister, what's going on with you?"

Upon Hu Xiaobei's inquiry, Lin Ling'er gently shook her head and said, "I... I don't know what's happening? I just feel a ball of fire inside, and it seems to be growing larger!"

"A ball of fire?"

Listening to her explanation, Hu Xiaobei furrowed his brows in surprise...

He was astonished because Hu Xiaobei hadn't anticipated such a situation...

"Could it be there's a problem with my treatment method? That doesn't make sense!"

Murmuring this, Hu Xiaobei quickly approached Lin Ling'er to check her pulse...

Very soon, Hu Xiaobei realized she was correct!

Indeed, there was a surge of energy moving rapidly within her body...

"This truly doesn't make sense!"

Mumbling again, Hu Xiaobei suddenly thought of a possibility...

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei looked at her, hesitantly saying, "Sister, after you left before, did you eat anything unusual?"

"Eat anything unusual? No, I only ate the dishes you brought me, and nothing else!"

"Are you sure? Please think carefully!"

Upon Hu Xiaobei's question again, she sincerely contemplated and softly said, "Well... does fruit count?"

Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei asked, "What kind of fruit?"

"I don't actually know what it is? After separating from you earlier and heading back, I saw a red fruit along the way. It looked very attractive, so I couldn't resist taking a bite and found it delicious, I just ate it all!"

Earlier, while returning to her place with the medicine prepared by Hu Xiaobei, she spotted a deep red fruit...

Finding it appealing, Lin Ling'er approached closer.

Nearer, she sniffed a strong fruity aroma and couldn't resist tasting!

Since it tasted exceptionally good, she ate it entirely...

She had thought this was a trivial matter, thus hadn't paid attention, but hearing Hu Xiaobei now made her realize it might not be trivial...

Upon hearing her words, Hu Xiaobei's mouth twitched, saying softly, "Sister, the fruit you mentioned, is it bright red, resembling a tomato?"

Following Hu Xiaobei's query, she stared at him in surprise and said, "Xiaobei, how... how do you know? Was that fruit planted by you?"

Listening to her response, Hu Xiaobei silently sighed!

Then, Hu Xiaobei said, "I didn't plant it, but I know what it is..."

"What is it?"

Feeling her curiosity, Hu Xiaobei took a deep breath and explained as calmly as possible, "It's called Flame Spirit Fruit, an extremely potent medicinal herb!"

"So it's called Flame Spirit Fruit, I..."

Nodding lightly, Lin Ling'er suddenly froze...

Soon, she looked up, gazing at Hu Xiaobei, and spoke a bit dryly, "Xiaobei, did you just say it's a kind of herb?"
