538: Chapter 538 You guys look like a married couple 538: Chapter 538 You guys look like a married couple Seeing the wound on Zhao Yaya’s leg, Tangyu also became serious.
She had indeed been bitten by something, and it was highly venomous.
When Zhao Yaya saw the wound on her calf, she was about to cry, “Ah, it’s over, it’s all over, I’m doomed.
It’s swollen so much and it’s all purple-black, this must be incredibly poisonous.
Is my leg going to be useless?
I saw on TV that if you get bitten, you have to amputate the leg immediately to survive.
If that’s the case, I’d rather not live.
I don’t want to have my leg sawed off.
It would hurt me to death.
Hmm, but I don’t want to die either.
Kind big brother, please save me quickly.”
Guo Momo and Lin Feifei also immediately comforted Zhao Yaya, while Lin Feifei urged, “Tangyu, hurry up and detoxify Yaya.”
Tangyu shook his head with a serious expression and said, “It’s hard to detoxify.
Looking at this wound, it was bitten by a brown widow spider.
This kind of poisonous spider’s venom is second only to the Black Widow.
If you want to live, you have to amputate the leg immediately.”
“Ah, really need to amputate the leg, it’s over, I knew I was done for.
Ah mummy, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to amputate my leg, I’m not climbing mountains ever again.” Zhao Yaya was so anxious she was about to cry.
Guo Momo frowned, but suspicion flashed in her eyes.
Although she wouldn’t claim to be extremely knowledgeable, she was somewhat familiar with poisonous creatures.
She knew about the Black Widow, but she had never heard of the brown widow.
If the venom was truly second only to the Black Widow’s, then Yaya couldn’t possibly still be sitting here crying her eyes out.
Although she didn’t understand medicine, she knew the most basic common sense.
The wound on Yaya’s calf looked somewhat scary, but other than that, the surrounding area had no abnormalities.
If it were a potent poison, it should have spread, and other areas would show symptoms, like turning black or a purplish-black.
Moreover, Zhao Yaya’s complexion was also very good, so the poison should be an ordinary one.
“Ah, what should we do, Tangyu, you must have a way, right?” Lin Feifei said.
Trying to hold back his laughter, Tangyu said, “It’s because this girl has been feeding herself too much, growing fat.
Thick flesh naturally attracts poisonous insects.
The brown widow specifically likes to bite fleshy people, especially tender flesh—it’s their favorite.”
Hearing this, Guo Momo was completely certain that Tangyu was deliberately scaring Zhao Yaya.
She couldn’t help but give Tangyu a dark look.
It was a dire time, yet he still had the mood to joke around.
“Wuwuwu, I won’t eat so much junk food and meat anymore, I must lose weight.
Kind big brother, I don’t want to amputate, please save me quickly.
As long as you save me without amputating, when I grow up, I will be your wife.
No, wait, I’ll be your concubine.” Zhao Yaya said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Guo Momo slapped her on the back of the head and chided, “What nonsense are you talking about.”
“Woah, Momo sister, I’m injured, and you still hit me,” Zhao Yaya said with a pitiful face.
“You silly girl, can’t you see your kind big brother is just teasing you.
Tangyu, stop fooling around and get on with it,” Guo Momo said.
Only then did Tangyu start to laugh, having held it in for quite a while.
Zhao Yaya pouted, her face a mix of grievance and resentment as she glared at Tangyu.
Tangyu squatted down and put his hand on the wound and started to squeeze, saying, “It’s just an ordinary poisonous insect bite.
Just need to extract this Ground Poison Blood and all will be well, and soon you’ll be hopping around again.
Feifei, bring some paper over here.
Momo, go get some clean water.
We need to clean the wound later.”
“I’m going to bite you to death,” Zhao Yaya suddenly pounced on Tangyu, biting his shoulder.
The girl really did bite, causing Tangyu to grimace in pain.
Guo Momo watched with a look of schadenfreude, while Lin Feifei tried to pull Zhao Yaya away, but was stopped by Guo Momo.
It was payback time.
“You really are a little pig,” Tangyu said.
“Say that again, and I’ll bite again,” Zhao Yaya retorted, opening her mouth wide again.
Tangyu felt depressed, almost wanting to just stick his mouth out and let her bite it.
Soon the wound was cleaned up, and Tangyu used Pure Yang Qi to thoroughly purge Zhao Yaya’s wound, ensuring no remaining issues, and she was back to her original self.
This little incident didn’t affect the group’s progress.
Afterwards, the path became smooth, and half an hour later, they finally reached the mountaintop.
Spirit Mountain wasn’t very tall, but it had still taken the group almost an hour and a half to climb.
“Hey, there’s a temple over there, let’s go play there,” Zhao Yaya said.
The temple wasn’t large, but it gave off a sense of spirituality.
The temple was bustling with many devout worshippers burning incense and praying, as well as mountaineering tourists visiting and paying their respects.
The air was also filled with the scent of incense.
“Those people are so funny, there are no immortals or buddhas in this world, why do they still kneel there and pray every day?” Zhao Yaya said.
Guo Momo pulled her aside and advised, “Yaya, don’t talk nonsense here.
Faith is a person’s freedom.
We may not believe, but we can’t forbid others from believing; it’s their freedom.
The existence of gods and spirits, believe it and it exists, disbelieve and it’s nothing—think of it as a form of spiritual solace for them.
Alright, let’s talk less and just have a casual look around.”
“Oh, I understand,” Zhao Yaya acknowledged.
The four wandered around the temple, treating the visit like a fun tour, and soon they had seen the whole place.
“Young folks, want your fortunes told?” Suddenly, a voice came through and drew their attention.
The speaker was a middle-aged man with a long beard, dressed in a coarse, hemp-colored robe, giving off the vibe of an ancient fortune teller.
In front of him was a fortune-telling stall with various tools for divination spread out on it.
“We’re not interested, we’re just looking,” Guo Momo replied, showing no intention to stop.
Guo Momo wanted to leave, but Zhao Yaya didn’t want to go.
Holding onto Guo Momo and Lin Feifei she said, “Fortune-telling, that must be fun.
I’ve only seen it on TV before.
I think the way they talk is so funny.
Momo sister, let’s give it a try.”
Zhao Yaya really wanted to play, so we could only go along with her.
“Kind brother, Sister Feifei, why don’t you two go first, let me see how it’s done,” said Zhao Yaya.
The fortune-telling Immortal’s gaze fell on Tangyu and Lin Feifei, and with a smile, he asked, “What would the two of you like to know?
Would you like me to read your faces, or should we draw lots for your fortune?”
“Let’s do the marriage fortune,” Zhao Yaya intervened.
“Oh, marriage, then let’s have a look at your faces.” The fortune-teller carefully examined Tangyu and Lin Feifei’s faces, took their hands for a closer look, and after about a minute, he tapped the table lightly, “Ah, you two have the look of a married couple.
Judging by your facial features, palms, and life charts, it’s a marriage predestined by heaven, the perfect spouse’s aspect.
If you can give me your eight characters of birth, I can look further into it.
I believe they must be very compatible as well.”
A flush of shyness spread across Lin Feifei’s face as she smiled sheepishly.
“There’s no need for the eight characters of birth.
Although I don’t believe in this sort of thing, I think you, old master, are very accurate, spot on actually,” Tangyu said.
Zhao Yaya pouted, “Anyone can say those nice things, it’s just flattery.”
The fortune-teller smiled, “Hehe, not necessarily.
The art of face reading really does exist.
Though you young people might not believe it, the concept of fate and destiny are real.
And face reading can indeed reveal some truths.
The spousal aspect is incredibly mysterious.
Without it, even if people come together, it will end in tragedy.
Only with the spousal aspect can a couple love each other deeply and live happily ever after to an old age.
It’s a matter of belief: if you believe, it exists; if you don’t, it doesn’t.
Haha, I’m not taking your money, so I don’t have any reason to deceive you.”
“You don’t want money?
Well then, could you please read Sister Momo’s face too, and see where her marital fate lies?” asked Zhao Yaya.
Guo Momo glared at Zhao Yaya and quickly said, “It’s fine, old Immortal, I don’t want it.”
“Hehe, why be so formal, my beauty?
I know you don’t believe this stuff, but just take it as a joke.
After all, I’m not charging you, am I?
You’re already here, so let me take a look,” urged the fortune-telling Immortal.
“Alright then,” Guo Momo relented.
The fortune-teller scrutinized Guo Momo carefully, took her palm to inspect it, but then his eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
He glanced at Tangyu and continued examining Momo with a puzzled expression, “Strange, this is really strange.
How could such a bizarre thing happen?
Is it really as the ancient texts say?
But this isn’t ancient times; can such miraculous things really happen?”
The fortune-teller’s words left Tangyu and the others utterly baffled.
“Old man, could you please explain more clearly?
We don’t understand what you’re talking about,” said Zhao Yaya.
“This beauty and this handsome man also possess the spousal aspect, and their compatibility is no less than that of the first beauty.
Strange, very strange indeed.
Could this gentleman have the legendary Emperor’s Aspect?” the fortune-teller mused.
Guo Momo was also startled and found the discussion increasingly esoteric.
Tangyu glanced at Guo Momo and couldn’t help but laugh.
Could it be that Guo Momo was destined to be his woman?
This could be interesting.
“Ah, old man, what is the Emperor’s Aspect?
Why do they both have the spousal aspect with the kind brother?” asked Zhao Yaya, full of curiosity.
“The so-called Emperor’s Aspect refers to the countenance of ancient emperors.
As emperors, naturally, they could have numerous concubines, winning the adoration of women everywhere.
Of course, with a unique destiny, they can possess the spousal aspect with several women,” explained the fortune-teller.
“Oh, I see, that’s amazing.
To have the Emperor’s Aspect sounds far-fetched.
We’re not in ancient times anymore; there are no emperors,” said Zhao Yaya.
“Hehe, just because one has the Emperor’s Aspect doesn’t mean they must literally become an emperor,” the fortune-teller remarked.
Guo Momo didn’t want to stay any longer, “Alright, we’re done here; let’s go.
Such arts of the jianghu cannot be trusted.”
“Wait, wait, it’s my turn now.
Old man, please read my fortune and see if I have the spousal aspect with the kind brother,” Zhao Yaya said, prompting an exasperated glare from Guo Momo.
This girl always spoke without thinking.
The fortune-teller was amused and nodded, “Alright, let me see.” After looking for a while, not even ten seconds had passed before he decisively shook his head, “You and he do not have the spousal aspect, there’s actually a bit of clash in your destinies.”
“Ah, why don’t I have the spousal aspect, and why is there a clash in our destinies?
This is so unfair,” Zhao Yaya pouted, clearly dissatisfied with the outcome.
