Lazily Yours.

Chapter 293: Seven Poisons

With these, Lyca finally stopped undressing and stared at him. "I want to show you something that you can do too. Only people who cultivated all the internal energy points in the body could accomplish this."

"Can we fly?" he asked, smiling.

"No. Can you just watch?" she glared at him. "If you won't stop talking, I will leave."

Shen Qui grinned and held both of his hands up. "No more talking."

Lyca squinted before she started undressing once again. The only reason she dared undress in this place is that this was a blind spot from the CCTV. Of course, this was something she discovered after looking at the CCTV footage on Shen Qui's office. After fully discarding the last piece of clothing she had, Lyca extended her right arm in front of her, connected her thumb to her middle finger.

She closed her eyes and slowly separated the two fingers.

When Lyca opened her eyes again, an electric-like light can be seen sizzling in between her thumb and middle finger. It wasn't really bright, but the sound of electricity made it look like she was holding an electric current. Lyca lifted her head and stared at Shen Qui's surprised face.

"You look like a frog," she beamed.

"Why did it disappear?"

"I don't know," she answered. Of course, the reason it disappeared is that this world doesn't contain any qi or magical elements. That electricity was something like a trick that even kids in her previous world learned after cultivating their internal points.

"So, that won't work unless you are naked?"

Lyca nodded. This was a weird thing that she found out years ago when she spent her days inside her room. Sleeping and eating, Lyca just stayed in her room all day. Even her mother and father couldn't convince her to go out. At that time, she would enjoy a bath after cultivating her internal points.

She got a bit curious and tried to use that technique. To her surprise, it actually worked.

However, it only worked when she was naked.

At that time, Lyca didn't try to look into this matter. Her focus was looking for ways to go back to her previous world, so she spent her time reading journals and articles as well as books. Moreover, this small electricity was actually useless. It doesn't have any electric currents and was only used in tricks.

"I can do it too?"

"You can try."

"Do I need to remove my clothes too?" he asked, almost innocently. Lyca beamed but didn't answer. She started putting her clothes on. "I can't teach you how to do it. You do it on your own. I am too lazy for that." Plus those were mere tricks. You can't really use it in battle.

Shen Qui smiled, his eyes complicated. Just now, he saw something unfathomable in Lyca's eyes. He immediately knew she was still hiding something. However, he doesn't care. She would always tell him everything once she feels like it.

"Let's go back?" Lyca held his hand.

"Hmmm." He nodded and happily went back with Lyca. In the past few days since Shen Qui woke up, his relationship with his wife had become closer. Of course, Lyca still refused to say anything about her emotions and would offend act like she doesn't care. However, her actions were different. And actions always speak louder than words.

Now that Shen Qui thought about it, these past few days, they would only spend the night together. Just cuddling with each other before sleeping. And these silent and boring nights were actually making him feel happier, lighter.

After a few minutes, Lyca and Shen Qui went back inside and spent more time talking to Lyca's mother and father before finally retiring for the night. Once again, the two just spent the time talking and laughing in each other's arms before finally falling asleep.

On the next day, Lyca finally started to take a look at her grandfather's current status. Of course, this includes finally checking out the poison in the old man's body.

"So? What was it?" Lai Su asked as he stood next to Lyca, who was looking into the microscope. "Can you identify the components of this poison? I mean, don't take it the wrong way, but your grandfather is already old. His body is weak. Moreover, this poison was inside him for years now. I am just curious if you can still heal him?"

"This is the sixth time that you asked that question in two hours," Lyca said without looking at the man beside her. "You are tired. You should take a break. If you want, you can take a leave and"

"What? No!" Lai Su immediately declined. Take a leave? Isn't that akin to Lyca saying, you can leave the ranch and become the enemy's target? "I misspoke just now." He declared. "I will go and focus on my own tasks." Lai Su had become Lyca's cover for all the inventions that she made. Every one of them was under his name. Meaning, people tens of people wanted to have him work for them.

Once he took a step out of this ranch, people will naturally come for him.

Lyca nodded and started recording the data that she saw just now. Right now, her mind was already in shambles, her mood worse. This was of course because of the poison.

Now that Lyca finally examined her grandfather's body, she discovered one thing. The poison already penetrated the man's bones. Even if she could create an antidote, it would only give his grandfather at least three to five years to live before dying from the effects of the poison in his internal organs.

Of course, for an eighty-year-old man, three to five years should be considered extremely lucky. The second thing that Lyca discovered is the fact that the poison is more potent than she originally assumed. The poison was actually a mixture of seven independent poisons that she was very familiar with.

To create an antidote, she needed to create seven different antidotes for each poison first before she could mix it and attempt to create an antidote.

And this is where the problem arises. One mistake in proportions of the antidote could definitely kill the old man instead of saving him. Lyca pursed her lips as she eyed her grandfather from the thick glass wall that separated them. The poison this time was indeed from her other world meaning the ingredients needed to create the antidote might not be in this world.
