Urban Super Medical Saint

"Hey, what are you doing?" Just as Wu Yili was getting somewhat distracted and lost in her thoughts, she suddenly felt a coolness at the injury on her buttocks, followed by a sharp pain. It turned out that Ge Dongxu had suddenly brought his mouth to her wound and was sucking hard.

As a woman, Wu Yili instinctively screamed and raised her hand to push Ge Dongxu away.

"There's still some residual poison that's hard to squeeze out!" Just as Wu Yili was about to push Ge Dongxu away, he lifted his head, spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground, and then said to Wu Yili, His teeth, which were once snow-white, were now tinged with fresh blood, standing out starkly, but his eyes remained dark and clear.

Wu Yili's hands froze in mid-air as she looked into those dark, clear eyes, feeling an indescribable sense of shame and gratitude. Then she suddenly realized something, hurriedly reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of Ge Dongxu's mouth, and anxiously said, "You fool, how can you use your mouth to suck out the poison like that? You could get poisoned too."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine," Ge Dongxu said, as he bent down again to suck the blood from Wu Yili's injury.

"How could you be fine? People's mouths generally have tiny cuts, you could get poisoned by direct mouth suction like that," Wu Yili said, quickly extending her hand to stop him.

"Alright then, there probably won't be any more issues. Don't move; just sit still. I'll go find some herbs nearby to treat the snakebite," Ge Dongxu said. He knew he couldn't explain to Wu Yili about his cultivation and that a mere snakebite couldn't harm him. He looked at her wound and saw that the blood coming out was already bright red, knowing there would be no further issues. So, without arguing, he simply instructed her and then got up to search for herbs that could treat snake poison.

"Be careful," Wu Yili said instinctively, her concern slipping out as she saw Ge Dongxu standing up to go look for herbs.

"Don't worry, I grew up in the mountains," Ge Dongxu replied, turning back to give her a brief smile. But as he turned his head, his gaze reflexively swept over that expanse of snow-white skin.

Though it was just a fleeting glance as he turned his head, Wu Yili, being a woman, noticed it, and her face flushed slightly. She quickly pulled up her trousers and also picked up the handbag that had fallen to her side to cover the critical area, yet she couldn't help but spit inwardly, "Little devil!"

Ge Dongxu soon returned with some herbs in his hand, the names of which Wu Yili could not call to mind.

Seeing Wu Yili covering her buttocks with her bag, Ge Dongxu remembered the scene that kept coming up in his mind while he was looking for the herbs, his face blushing. In a low voice, he said, "Auntie, could you move your bag away for a second? I need to apply these herbs, and then there won't be any marks left."

"Auntie? Am I that old?" Wu Yili retorted reflexively, her eyes widening. After her outburst, seeing Ge Dongxu's bewildered and blushing face, hands wavering, she couldn't help but snort with laughter and move her bag away, adding, "Remember, from now on, call me sister, not auntie."

"Oh, okay!" Ge Dongxu nodded awkwardly and then moved behind her to apply the herbs.

Seeing Ge Dongxu's embarrassed look, Wu Yili couldn't help but blush. Honestly, she was thirty, and Ge Dongxu was only sixteen, a clear student, so calling her auntie was actually quite appropriate. Yet for some reason, she subconsciously disliked being addressed as 'auntie' by Ge Dongxu.

Although he said he was applying the herbs, Ge Dongxu didn't actually attach the herbs themselves, but rather mixed several types together and dripped some juice on them.

The droplets fell coolly, quickly soaking into her wound and skin.

"It's done!" Ge Dongxu wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a huge sigh of relief, feeling a huge burden lifted.

When Wu Yili heard that it was done, she too let out a huge sigh of relief and hurriedly put her pants back on.

As she put on her pants, Wu Yili could no longer feel any numbness in her legs or the tingling pain from the wound, knowing that the bite from the poisonous snake had indeed been cured by the young man before her. Realizing the dire consequences if he hadn't arrived at that deserted mountain path—where cries for help would be unheard and help would be unreachable—she felt an immense sense of gratitude and intimacy towards Ge Dongxu's gaze.

"Little brother, my name is Wu Yili, and you can call me Lili Sister. What's your name? Where's your home?" Wu Yili asked softly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lili was Wu Yili's nickname, a term of endearment only used by her parents and close friends.

"Ge Dongxu, I live just at the foot of this mountain in Ge Family Village," replied Ge Dongxu.

"Oh, Ge Family Village, I know it. I happen to have some things I need to find out about. Do you have any urgent matters this morning? If not, could you escort Lili Sister back to the holiday resort and we can chat along the way?" Wu Yili's heart stirred at his response and she said.

"Even if you didn't say, I would have accompanied you back anyway. This little mountain path is one mostly walked by the locals, and not often by outsiders, so it's common for snakes and insects to lurk around. We locals aren't afraid because we have the experience, but it's dangerous for you. If something happens again on the way, that would truly be troublesome," Ge Dongxu said.

"Thank you," Wu Yili felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this. Seeing a few droplets of perspiration still shining on Ge Dongxu's forehead in the sunlight, she couldn't help but raise her hand again to wipe them away, causing Ge Dongxu to feel a mix of enjoyment and discomfort, prompting him to hurriedly step back and use his sleeve to vigorously wipe his forehead himself.

"What's the matter? Are men and women not supposed to have such interaction? I am much older than you," Wu Yili said with a slight eye roll, exuding the charm and allure of a mature woman in the morning sun, something Dong Yuxin, a young girl of eighteen or nineteen, couldn't compare with.

Ge Dongxu couldn't help but blush with awkwardness at Wu Yili's words.

"You've grown up in Baiyun Mountain, do you think Baiyun Mountain is beautiful?" Wu Yili, being a university professor and significantly older than Ge Dongxu, quickly regained her composure after a moment of coquettishness, and while walking, she adjusted her hair and asked.

"Of course, it's beautiful!" Ge Dongxu replied without hesitation.

"But I've heard that life in the mountains is quite difficult," Wu Yili said, her eyes conveying a touch of sympathy as she observed Ge Dongxu's old clothes and the bamboo basket on his back with a small hoe, clearly indicating that he had come to collect herbs. In the city, someone of his age would only need to focus on their studies, without the need to do such hard labor.

Not to mention the dangers in the mountains!

"Yes," Ge Dongxu nodded, acknowledging her point. Baiyun Mountain was in the countryside, the poorest area in the whole Changxi County, especially those mountain villages not yet connected by roads, where life was even harder. His own Ge Family Village, privileged by the tourism to Baiyun Mountain, had been living relatively better these years.
