“Pfft.” Eldest Qin chortled in schadenfreude. “Aiyo, so you’re to her liking.”


  “Qiaoqiao!” Duan Yue hid behind Qiao Mu at once.

  The little fellow stuck out two fingers and motioned back and forth to determine the distance and direction of the other person’s gaze. Suddenly, she raised a petite hand and blocked Duan Yue’s face as she hollered, “What are you looking at?”


  Although the little lady was petite, her image in everyone’s eyes right now promptly turned lofty.

  Situ Yi twitched his mouth as he tossed Duan Yue a glance that disdained him for being a good-for-nothing. Afterwards, he walked up and asked, “This leader from Rice City, do you mean to tell us that this Miss Nichang from your team can help inhibit the corpse poison’s mutation?”


  “Correct.” The leader nodded and then glared at the still starry-eyed Nichang. “Hurry! Come and treat Kali.”


  Nichang gave Duan Yue several more infatuated looks, even getting kicked twice by the leader, before reluctantly retracting her gaze and walking up to Kali.

  “The wound is here, Nichang. Be quick about it.” The leader pointed at the back of Kali’s neck where she had gotten bitten, beckoning her to treat Kali quickly.

  Nichang smacked her lips before covering the back of Kali’s neck with her right hand.

  Everyone saw her right hand emit a faint glow, and a faint medicinal fragrance also wafted past their noses.

  “Wow.” A female mystic cultivator in Qiao Mu’s team gave a sniff before commenting, “What a rich medicinal fragrance.”


  Mo Lian, who was standing next to Qiao Mu, glanced at that girl called Nichang with flickering eyes before retracting his gaze.

  “You haven’t seen apothecaries before, right.” The leader of the Rice City team told Qiao Mu and the others proudly, “It is normal to not have.”


  “What apothecary.” Brother Axe and a portion of their team members had indeed never heard of apothecaries before.

  After all, apothecaries were an extremely rare superhuman, so it was normal that they had not seen them before.

  “They are a kind of superhuman!” The leader pointed at Nichang with his thumb as he boasted loudly, “She is the only apothecary in our team! Unlike those pill alchemists who painstakingly pursue pill-refining techniques, apothecaries like Nichang possess an inherent medicinal power that is like no other!”


  Brother Axe and the others look at each other in bewilderment.

  The female mystic cultivator couldn’t resist questioning doubtfully, “You mean that she can save those mutated zombies?”


  Qiao Mu’s hundred-person team was in an uproar.

  “Don’t listen to his nonsense.” Qiao Mu’s impassive voice abruptly threw a bucket of cold water on their fervor. “If apothecaries really can completely treat the corpse poison, then that member of their team wouldn’t have mutated just now.”


  Everyone felt that made sense and thus gazed dubiously at that leader.

  The leader hemmed and hawed, arguing, “Al-Although it temporarily cannot treat the root cause, as long as Nichang’s special ability evolves, then, then……”


  Brother Axe and the others hissed and booed as they all tried to get a word in. “You are harming your teammates, do you know that?”


  “A guy whose brain has gotten kicked by a donkey!”


  “Not being able to treat the root cause means that she will go berserk at any time, right?”


  “He still doesn’t know how to learn from his lesson.”


  “Alright!” Mo Lian suddenly spoke up. “No need to pay them any attention. We will set out immediately for Rice City first.”
