Chapter 290: Chapter 99: Insect Clan Toxin_2
But all of them were wasted efforts. Chen Yin, born from the Imperial Chen Family, is inherently strong and has the support of confidants like Ke Lian, so their supposedly effective actions couldn’t shake him at all.
Du Xixi is also protected by both Chen Yin and Ke Lian, and her friends are all high-ranking nobles of the Empire. Plus, Du Xixi herself is highly popular on the Star Network, so they can’t stop Chen Yin from elevating Du Xixi’s status; they can only stubbornly avoid greeting or congratulating her.
Those few hiding in the corners are just them.
"Aren’t you worried about being overheard!" Though Chen Yin’s voice is low, Du Xixi fears that someone with sharp hearing might eavesdrop. Seeing Chen Yin casually wave his hand, indicating he’s not worried about being overheard, Du Xixi laughs again and switches the topic, "Why didn’t Sister Mo Ying come this time?"
The Mo Family is also considered nobility and holds quite a high status. It’s unreasonable for Mo Family’s parents to be socializing everywhere with Mo Feng but leave their most beloved eldest daughter behind. If Mo Ying, who was married off, is considered part of the Ye Family, among Ye’s people, Du Xixi hasn’t seen Mo Ying’s presence either.
Ye Family’s parents are very fond of Mo Ying, which Du Xixi knows well. Since they received the invitation, why wouldn’t she come?
"Perhaps she’s not feeling well." Chen Yin has some impression of Mo Ying, remembering she was very kind to Du Xixi. Now, that little girl with cat ears seems to be fostered in Mo Ying’s home, "You know, Mo Ying has Insect Clan toxins in her body, her spiritual power is quite unstable."
This is the common problem for most retired Military Department personnel. Mo Ying initially retired from the front lines to join the logistics department because the Insect Clan had damaged her spiritual power. Over the years, it seemed to have no external impact, but occasionally, her spiritual power acted up painfully, truly tormenting Mo Ying.
Upon hearing this, Du Xixi felt a bit worried for Mo Ying. Turning from the Insect Clan toxin, she thought of her own purification talent. She leaned in closer to Chen Yin and asked pensively, "Brother, I remember purification talent can treat Insect Clan toxins, right?"
The purification talent doesn’t have much presence in Du Xixi’s life. Besides quietly maintaining her health daily, it tremendously helped only when Ke Lian and Miao Miao were severely injured. If it wasn’t for Mo Ying missing the banquet due to illness, Du Xixi probably wouldn’t remember this aspect of the purification talent.
"It can, if the records are correct." Chen Yin picked up a newly brewed strong drink, took a sip, and felt the long-missed flavor fill his tongue and mouth, making him squint his eyes in comfort as he visibly relaxed.
This was a wine recipe obtained from Du Xixi. Once, after being busy for a whole day, Chen Yin rested and heard from Rob that Du Xixi was brewing wine in her live broadcast, even making different-strength wines for Ke Lian to train his drinking capacity. He then called Du Xixi in a video in the middle of the night to ask for various wine recipes.
All these wine recipes were entrusted by Chen Yin to Rob, which used various high-tech means to brew the wine served at this banquet.
Chen Yin’s favorite is the strong drink he’s holding, which seems to be called "Erguotou" on Blue Star, it burns hotly at the throat when entering and continues to burn in the stomach for a while, yet its aftertaste is the warmest and most intoxicating.
Luckily, Chen Yin can drink quite a lot, so he’s able to consume plenty of Erguotou. But seeing him drink it like plain water, gulp after gulp, Ke Lian felt his stomach churn.
The records about purification talent were found by Chen Yin in the Imperial Palace. Since Chen Yin said it’s possible, Du Xixi eagerly rubbed her fingers. She softly said to Chen Yin and Ke Lian, "After the banquet, I’d like to check on Sister Mo Ying. Regardless of whether the purification talent is effective or not, trying it out can’t hurt."
The purification talent inherently has a strong healing ability. Even if it can’t cure the Insect Clan toxin in Mo Ying’s body, it can at least alleviate her suffering.
"If you want to go, just go!" Chen Yin, in a good mood, put down the empty glass in his hand and picked up another to drink. With a slight scent of alcohol, he pat Du Xixi’s head, his words and actions full of indulgence towards her.
Ke Lian, although silent, held Du Xixi’s hand tightly, his face showing a gentle smile, clearly in agreement as well.
