Liu Zhi was unable to dodge in time, and the broken clay fell onto his face.

He reached up to cover his head, but some shards still managed to slip through his arms and cut his face, leaving a streak of blood in their trail.

The rest of his body wasn’t spared either, as he received various cuts here and there.

Liu Zhi screamed.

Despite her frustrations, Xu Hongcouldn’t help but cry out when she saw her husband getting wounded, but nothing came out of her mouth.

This man was utterly useless. Not only was he unable to defend her, but he was also the first to fall between the two of them.

Xu Hong tried calling out for him and immediately regretted it.

The moment she made a sound, the already dissipating burning in her throat flared up once again. It was the worst one yet, and even spread down to her chest and shoulders.

Xu Hong writhed in pain for what felt like forever.

It wasn’t until the torture began to subside that she realized its trigger—it flared up whenever she spoke, each time worse than the last.

She was terrified. She stared at Yao Tangin outright fear.

She wasn’t sure if she even wanted to ask for the antidote. If she tried speaking again, she was afraid that she might not survive another day.

After coming to her senses, Xu Hongshot to her feet and hurriedly pulledLiu Zhiout the door. They fled the house as if they were running for their lives.

Grandma Xu finally heaved a deep sigh of relief.

Her emotions were still too erratic, however. The room began to spin, and she was overcome with the urge to wretch. She couldn’t stop it, and then, she spat out a mouthful of blood before fainting again.

The last time the old woman lost consciousness, Yao Tangdeliberately let her sleep to help ease her surging emotions. But this time,Grandma Xuwas angered byXu HongandLiu Zhiso much that it messed up her Qi again.

Xu Xuan rushed over, her eyes welling with tears. “Grandma? Grandma, what’s wrong?”

She turned to Yao Tangand pleaded, “Please save my Grandma, I’m begging you?”

As if to convey her sincerity, she dropped to her knees and was about to kowtow to Yao Tang.

Yao Tang stoppedXu Xuanbefore the latter could even lower her head. “We’ve already made a deal, haven’t we? I will keep my end of the bargain.”

With that, she approached the bed and took out another pill from her pocket. She popped it into Grandma Xu’s mouth and adjusted the position of several needles to help clear the old woman’s mind.

“Go get a pen and paper,” she instructed Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan returned a few seconds and gave the items toYao Tang.

“Administer her medicine according to this prescription,” Yao Tang said as she scribbled a note.

As soon as she handed it to Xu Xuan, the latter wiped her tears away and ran outside to fetch the list of components.

Yao Tang beckoned atQin Jing. “Come and help her up.”

Together, the two girls lifted Grandma Xuand turned her sideways.

Then, Yao Tangreached out and stroked the old woman’s back.

A moment later, Grandma Xucoughed up another mouthful of blood, but her face looked significantly better. Color started to return to her cheeks.

Even so, she remained in a coma.

With Yao Tang’s signal, they turned her back into her original position.Xu Xuanreturned just then, carrying a bag of prescribed items.

Yao Tang took it into the kitchen and got to work.

Grandma Xu’s health wasn’t good, to begin with. After experiencing such a harrowing ordeal, she was now in a critical condition. It had to be dealt with as soon as possible, or things would only get worse.

The old woman would risk having a stroke.

If they were to follow the normal steps of brewing traditional medicine, they would certainly run out of time to save Grandma Xu.

Luckily, Yao Tanghad her own methods, which were both fast and efficient.

Barely ten minutes later, Yao Tangpoured a bowl of medicinal draught and walked out of the kitchen.

Suddenly, they heard the chaotic sound of urgent footfalls coming from outside, as though a small mob was storming over to lay siege.

Sure enough, Xu HongandLiu Zhiburst through the door a few seconds later, along with several police officers.
