CHAPTER 144: CHAPTER 144: DIVINE WOOD AS THE FURNACE

She knows?

Xin Lin looked dumbfounded.

"Rascal Corpse, can you stop with the sardonic comments? If I could neutralize the poison, do you think I’d still be standing here bickering with you?"

Xin Lin said, not in the best of moods. If she could, she would have already poisoned Sikong Ran, Bai You, and the others.

As a Female Soldier King, she knew a lot, but she really had no clue about poisons.

"You carry the Dan Wood Furnace with you—use it well, and you can naturally neutralize all kinds of poisons."

Gui Hu glanced at Xin Lin with a look of utter disdain.

Dan Wood, as in the Divine Wood.

To think this little tyke carelessly tossed it aside as if it were nothing—a complete waste of Heaven’s gifts.

"The Dan Wood Furnace? You mean that broken wood stove? So that’s what it’s called—good name."

Xin Lin suddenly recalled, the wood stove that came from rolling the Opportunity Dice last time.

The stove was shabby and wooden. Xin Lin didn’t even feel the desire to give it a second look.

After all, a stove is either used for burning incense or alchemy, both involving fire. What good would a wooden stove do?

Especially since the Heaven-defying Book had forcibly given it to her.

Thinking about it only added to Xin Lin’s irritation.

"Hang on, how do you know I have a stove on me?"

Xin Lin was astonished.

She despised that stove so much she never showed it in front of others, not even Little Xinzhuo knew of its existence—how did Rascal Corpse come to know?

"Scent."

Gui Hu snorted coldly.

It’s hard to say if Little Budian is unlucky or lucky. The Fu Tian Pill chose her, and the Dan Wood Furnace fell into her hands as well.

All of this was very unusual.

Gui Hu thought it was all because of that bizarre Golden Book.

"Are you a dog or something, to know what I have on me?"

Xin Lin’s little face scrunched up.

But could that stove really help her neutralize the poison in Silly Chu?

Xin Lin got up and dug out the so-called Dan Wood Furnace from her luggage.

The stove was still in its old ratty state, covered in dust.

Xin Lin rubbed it vigorously with her sleeve, and it became slightly cleaner, a hint of redwood showing through.

But no matter how she looked at it, it was nothing more than an ordinary stove.

Just then, some movements came from the bed.

Both Xin Lin and Gui Hu were startled just to hear Silly Chu talking in his sleep.

Gui Hu’s figure vanished, returning into the Sealing Spirit Talisman.

Xin Lin looked up and realized that it was already daylight outside.

Unknowingly, an entire night had passed.

After the day’s hustle, Xin Lin was tired too. She leaned on the table and unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

In her sleep, Xin Lin suddenly became alert and woke up with a start.

Only to find Silly Chu looking panicked, trying to lift her up.

"Sleep... Bed... I... Man... Ground... You, little child... On the bed."

Silly Chu scratched his head. When he woke up and saw Xin Lin lying on the table, he was foolish but knew it was a cold morning and, concerned that young Xin Lin would catch a chill, intended to carry her to the bed. However, he was clumsy and alerted the vigilant Xin Lin.

Xin Lin’s sleepiness dissipated instantly, her heart warming.

Shi Guiren once said that the Grand Doctor Chu of old was a Divine Doctor but also a cold and indifferent person.

Compared with him, the silly fellow in front of her might be simpleminded but endearingly cute.

Yet, thinking that Silly Chu only had three more months to live made Xin Lin’s heart heavy.

"Silly Chu, sit down for a moment, let me have a proper look at your illness."

Xin Lin’s intention to save him grew stronger. She took out the Dan Wood Furnace to see if she could find any clues on Silly Chu’s body.
