My gorgeous wife-Chapter 789 - 761 I Guarantee!

"What happened to the boss?"

"I don’t know, by the time I found him, he had already passed out!"

"Then... we should take him back first."

Li Chen’s sudden unconsciousness took everyone by surprise. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

No one knew what had happened to Li Chen. As the King of the Netherworld of the Palace of the Nether King, Li Chen had always been the backbone of the group.

Moreover, he had never shown a weak side in front of anyone.

It seemed as though this man never knew what fear or cowardice was. His face was always full of confidence.

Likewise, he was always like a tall mountain that would never fall.

But this incident had somewhat panicked everyone.

"What, Brother Cheen has passed out?" Upon receiving the call, Ouyang Wan’er still seemed somewhat in disbelief. However, after hearing about the situation, she rushed to Linchuan as quickly as possible.

It was only after she arrived at the villa that she saw Li Chen, laying on the bed, his face pale.

By Li Chen’s side, Lin Yi, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Wang Qianqian were anxiously watching over him.

Outside the villa, Catherine and others were also anxiously waiting.

However, to prevent the Nether Army from facing any issues, only Catherine and Ye Tu had come. As for the others, Catherine had asked them to stay behind and continue training.

Having taken Li Chen’s pulse, Ouyang Wan’er’s expression turned grim: "What was he doing before he passed out?"

Catherine pulled out a stack of papers and handed them to Ouyang Wan’er: "Before he passed out, he seemed to be drawing something. It was this."

Seeing the symbols on the piece of paper, Ouyang Wan’er pondered for a moment, then suddenly her eyes widened in shock: "Is this... an array diagram?"

"But, that’s not right!" Quickly, Ouyang Wan’er dismissed a certain thought in her mind.

Duplicating arrays, although energy-draining, wouldn’t cause this situation. Moreover, given Li Chen’s deep martial strength, he would have stopped if he sensed anything amiss. It was unlikely he passed out due to excessive energy consumption.

"Is there something?"

Suddenly, Ouyang Wan’er detected a strange energy inside Li Chen’s body.

This energy was very weak, but it had mixed with Li Chen’s True Qi and attached itself to his meridians.

"Could it be this?" Ouyang Wan’er’s face became even grimmer, as she almost immediately realized that it was a type of poison, and moreover, a poison she had never encountered before.

By this time, she could almost conclude that Li Chen had definitely been poisoned.

If it weren’t for the poison, such a situation would not have occurred.

And this poison seemed quite severe.

"I... I’ll go back and check some resources." Ouyang Wan’er said to the other women: "Don’t move him for now, to avoid any changes."

Seeing them nod, Ouyang Wan’er turned around to leave.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the villa.

"Looks quite lively here!"

Hearing this voice, the women were startled, then headed towards the entrance of the villa. Lin Yi, seeing the woman standing at the door, couldn’t help but express surprise: "Bing Yu, what brought you here?"

Seeing Lin Yi, Jiang Bingyu’s face lit up with a smile: "What, am I not welcome here if there’s no trouble?"

The two women hadn’t known each other for long, but during the time when Li Chen and Yao Chou were battling the Luo Brothers, the two had reached a strange kind of understanding.

Sometimes, women’s friendships are just that inexplicable.

"You..." Seeing Jiang Bingyu, Lin Yi unconsciously thought of the previous encounter with Yao Chou, hesitating a bit.

"Yao Chou is still alive." A rare smile appeared on Jiang Bingyu’s face: "Apparently Li Chen used something to hang on to his life. After going back, he was rescued. It’s just that his injuries haven’t healed yet, and he’s confined at home recuperating."

"That’s good!" Lin Yi nodded, although the worry on her face couldn’t be hidden.

"What’s wrong? Has something happened?" Seeing so many people in the villa, Jiang Bingyu also felt surprised and couldn’t help but ask.

"Li Chen... he’s been poisoned!" Lin Yi grimly spoke.

"Poisoned?" Jiang Bingyu said: "Let me have a look!"

"You..." Lin Yi hesitated.

"Don’t worry." Seeing Lin Yi’s expression, Jiang Bingyu knew what she was thinking: "My family specializes in medicine; we’ve been studying drugs and medical conditions for hundreds of years. I am the direct descendant of my family and know quite a bit about these matters."

"Alright." Lin Yi was helpless now, but out of trust in Jiang Bingyu, he still nodded in agreement.

Seeing Jiang Bingyu, Ouyang Wan’er also couldn’t help but show curiosity. After hearing what Bingyu had said, she didn’t leave immediately but instead joined Bingyu to visit Li Chen’s room.

Similarly, Jiang Bingyu used the most ancient and common method of pulse diagnosis.

However, unlike Ouyang Wan’er, shortly after touching Li Chen, Jiang Bingyu’s expression turned serious.

"This poison is not simple." Jiang Bingyu spoke with a somber expression, "The toxicity is eroding his meridians, and if we don’t find a way to detoxify him, I’m afraid the poison will gradually spread throughout his body’s meridians, causing him to lose his True Qi and become a cripple."

"A cripple?" Upon hearing Jiang Bingyu’s words, several people’s expressions changed simultaneously.

"Of course, this cripple is only relatively speaking." Jiang Bingyu continued, "For us martial artists, losing True Qi doesn’t affect normal life, but it’s almost the same as being a cripple."

"Especially since Li Chen seems to have quite a few enemies." Jiang Bingyu mentioned pointedly.

"So is there any way to help him detoxify? You say that, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will strive for it!" Wang Qianqian couldn’t help but speak excitedly.

"There is a way, not without." Jiang Bingyu nodded, then added, "This poison resembles the toxin of some insect, although I am not quite sure what exactly."

"But for dealing with insect toxins, the best thing to use is the pollen of the Purple Sunflower. This pollen is an extremely yang substance, capable of effectively clearing away the yin poison of these insects."

"Only..." Jiang Bingyu looked around, then said, "The Purple Sunflower is a very special flower, looking just like any ordinary flower most of the time, only those who possess True Qi can sense its uniqueness."

"You mean, in finding this Purple Sunflower, we can’t help at all?" Lin Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but ask.

Jiang Bingyu turned and glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, "Unless you are also a martial artist."

"Purple Sunflower..." Ouyang Wan’er hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I’ve heard about this flower, but I’ve never seen a real one."

Jiang Bingyu nodded, then said, "Of course, the Purple Sunflower is also one of Heaven’s Materials and Earth’s Treasures. Such things are hard to find."

"But, can’t we help in some way?" Lin Yi said, somewhat unwillingly.

"All you can do right now is to wait obediently," Jiang Bingyu replied, "I might need to go back for a bit, to my home, to see if there’s any Purple Sunflower. However, I can’t be completely certain."

"I’ll help look too!" Ouyang Wan’er also spoke up, "Dragon Soul has recorded many unique things; there might be a Purple Sunflower!"

"I will notify the Nether Army to investigate," Catherine also said.

"We..." Lin Yi hesitated.

At that moment, Jiang Bingyu came over to Lin Yi, patted his shoulder, and said, "You should also ask around, but it’s best not to act rashly until it’s confirmed."

"Alright!" Lin Yi nodded.

Wang Qianqian spoke from the side, "I’ll also stay here. Once there’s news of the Purple Sunflower, I can help verify it."

Wang Qianqian, after all, was a Yellow Rank Martial Artist; not only did she possess True Qi, but she was also much stronger than most people.

"Well, he saved Yao Chou, which means I owe him a favor. Now, I’ll try to repay that favor," Jiang Bingyu said, pursing her lips.

Just then, a somewhat weak voice spoke.

"This favor is not so easy to repay."

Everyone turned their heads upon hearing this, only to see Li Chen slowly sitting up from the bed.

Rubbing his slightly throbbing head, Li Chen had heard quite a bit of the conversation, but his body was still somewhat numb, making movement difficult.

"I saved Yao Chou because he is my friend, not out of obligation," Li Chen said, looking up with a light smile. "Men do not like to talk about owing too many favors."

Jiang Bingyu spoke with a darkened face, "You just want to make it seem righteous for me to help you, why make it sound so high and mighty?"

"Cough! Cough!" Li Chen coughed twice, then changed the subject, "You all are helping to look, seems you forget, I am also a person with True Qi?"

"But you..." Lin Yi began to say, unable to help himself.

However, at that moment, Jiang Bingyu raised her hand to stop Lin Yi, "Li Chen is right, not only is he a person with True Qi, but he is also currently the strongest among us. The stronger the strength, the better the sensing ability."

"Hmm." Li Chen nodded, looking at the women beside him who appeared somewhat hesitant, then smirked, "Don’t worry, your man is not so fragile. A little thing like this won’t stop me."

"It’s just a minor insect poison. I’ll handle it."

Lin Yi and Wang Qianqian sat beside Li Chen, their eyes glistening with tears.

Lin Xiaoxiao was also there, her fists clenched behind her back, but they all remained silent.

"Be sure to take good care!"

"I promise!" Li Chen stretched out his hand, taking all three women’s hands in his.
