Chapter 31: Tang Yurou’s Misunderstanding
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhou Han was eager to save her and did not check the specific attributes.
It was directly enhanced four times.
[HP Recovery Pill +4]
[Grade: Silver]
[Effect: After use, maximum HP will permanently increase by 100%. Restores 20% health per second for 10 minutes.]
[Description: One-time consumable. Cannot be stacked.]
After enhancement, the effect of the pill was very good, but it did not have the effect of an Antidote Pill.
It would only last ten minutes.
After feeding it to her, she looked a little better. She woke up slowly, but the poison was still unresolved.
Her eyes were heavy and it was difficult to open them. She could only groan weakly.
“Xiao Rou, you’re awake? Don’t worry, I’ll find the antidote now. Bear with it for a while.”
Zhou Han’s words were very gentle and filled with concern.
After all, Xiao Rou’s safety concerned his mission.
“I’m not—”
Qin Mengyao didn’t know why the man in front of her called her Xiao Rou.
She was very weak now and wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Zhou Han.
“Don’t talk now. You’re still poisoned. Here, get on my back.”
There were so many wild monsters inside. He had to bring her with him.
Otherwise, in her situation, once she encountered wild monsters, her outcome would be very tragic.
Qin Mengyao was obviously a little shy. After hesitating for a moment, she obediently climbed onto Zhou Han’s back.
Time was very tight now. The antidote had to be obtained in ten minutes.
Therefore, Zhou Han looked around for the Netherworld Poison Scorpion like a lunatic.
Anyone who saw it would be killed instantly, making these guys tremble.
If the Netherworld Poison Scorpion could speak, it would definitely curse.
‘Damn it, what kind of grudge is this!’
‘I’m living well in this Netherworld Swamp and have never provoked you. Why are you so ruthless?’
He had already killed more than twenty of them, but the pill still did not drop. Zhou Han could not help but feel a little anxious.
What bad luck!
Zhou Han would rather not get anything good for the entire day just to exchange for an Antidote Pill.
Unfortunately, that didn’t work.
Soon, the Netherworld Poison Scorpion also learned.
When they saw Zhou Han, they were terrified and fled from afar.
It was even more difficult for Zhou Han to kill them.
Just as Zhou Han was in despair, he suddenly saw a golden Netherworld Poison Scorpion not far away.
‘Hmm? This is Gold-grade?’
It was of a higher grade than an ordinary Silver-grade Netherworld Poison Scorpion.
The higher the grade, the higher the drop rate!
[Netherworld Poison Scorpion]
[Grade: Gold]
[Level: 18]
[Life: 2,600]
[Attack: 590]
[Defense: 239]
[Skill 1: Poison Sting: Release the Poison Sting and deal 2.5 times the attack damage to a single enemy.]
[Skill 2: Sturdy Body: Damage taken reduced by 20%.]
[Description: A unique creature of the Netherworld Swamp with a strong temperament. Weakness: Lightning attribute.]
Seeing such a situation, Zhou Han naturally would not let it go. His eyes were filled with greed.
The Gold-grade Netherworld Poison Scorpion seemed to have sensed something.
Zhou Han’s murderous aura made its body tremble. It wagged its tail and fled.
‘Want to run?’
‘In your dreams!’
Zhou Han slashed out with his sword aura, causing it to stagger.
Then, he used his speed advantage and used a skill to end its life.
[You killed the Gold-grade Netherworld Poison Scorpion.]
[You have obtained 10 Antidote Pills.]
After hearing the system’s voice, Zhou Han was both happy and speechless.
Previously, not a single one had dropped, but now, there were ten.
This was too damn mind-boggling, but the timing was perfect.
Zhou Han took out one and directly enhanced it four times.
[Antidote Pill +4]
[Grade: Silver]
[Effect: After use, remove all negative poison attribute statuses. Converts all poison attribute damage within 60 minutes into HP recovery.]
[Description: A one-time consumable that can cure all poisons.]
“Xiao Rou, quickly take this antidote!”
Zhou Han hurriedly put her down and leaned against a big tree.
But when he put the pill in her mouth, she didn’t swallow.
Unlike the previous HP Recovery Pill when she swallowed it in one gulp, perhaps she had been poisoned for too long and her consciousness was fading.
“I don’t care! Anyway, she’s an NPC and a beauty. I won’t lose out.”
Zhou Han made a prompt decision and placed the antidote in his mouth.
After their mouths made contact, after much effort, Xiao Rou finally swallowed.
The soft feeling made Zhou Han reminisce and was unwilling to separate.
After all, this was his first kiss!
It was a little melancholic to lose it just like that!
“You lecher, let go of that girl! How dare you do such a thing in broad daylight?”
Suddenly, a delicate shout came from afar. It was also a young girl with a beautiful face.
At this moment, his brows were furrowed and his face was filled with anger.
Just now, Tang Yurou heard the commotion of the battle and came over to check.
Unexpectedly, she happened to see Zhou Han kissing her.
Suddenly her heart was filled with endless rage.
This made her, who was determined to be a heroine, involuntarily come out to stop and help.
The melancholic Zhou Han was instantly awakened and hurriedly explained, “Don’t get me wrong! I’m trying to save someone. What you’re seeing is not true!”
He was righteous. How could he do such a thing?
“Save her? Can you find some more lame reason why saving her life requires mouth-to-mouth interaction?”
The girl looked at Zhou Han warily, holding the sword in her hand, looking ready to attack at any time.
“It’s like this. This woman’s name is Xiao Rou. I was entrusted by her grandfather to save her!”
Zhou Han did not blame the other party. After all, in such a situation, it was indeed very easy to misunderstand.
Therefore, Zhou Han directly told her the entire story.
“Tell me, what is your motive? You actually interacted with my grandfather!”
Tang Yurou immediately became vigilant and questioned loudly.
Wasn’t Xiao Rou referring to her?
This time, she was really angry. She pulled out her sword and pointed it at Zhou Han, her expression instantly turning cold.
“What did you say? Your grandfather? Are you Xiao Rou?”
Hearing the other party’s words, Zhou Han was a little stunned.
It turned out that she had made a mistake.
The real Xiao Rou was standing in front of him, so who was sitting on the ground?
“Pretend, keep pretending!”
Tang Yurou’s expression darkened. Just as she was about to stab Zhou Han, she heard the poisoned girl’s voice.
“Wait, this is a misunderstanding. This young master is indeed my savior.”
Qin Mengyao had actually woken up long ago, but because of her shyness, she had been leaning there pretending to be unconscious.
She could still feel Zhou Han’s kiss just now.
The thought of doing something so intimate with a man for the first time in sixteen years made her blush.
But now that she saw Zhou Han and Tang Yurou about to start a fight, if she didn’t come forward and explain, there would definitely be a conflict. She couldn’t care less about being shy.
