Ways to handle this little demon

Caressing the youth's silk like hair, Zhang Long Wei finally proceeded to read the book. That very uneasy feeling was still in his heart. Zhang Long Wei really hoped to find a practical solution in it. But he also had this very premonition as if he was going to find out something really terrible... 

And there, he saw what as mentioned to be symptoms of a poisoned patient...sure enough.... they were exactly the same as Wang Li Jie's..... feeling extreme cold, one's skin and blood veins turning blue, trembling uncontrollably.... they were just so exactly the same. 

Turning the page slowly, Zhang Long We proceeded to the next page. And there, it was all about warnings to keep deadly ice blade safely in its scabbard during this process or how one should never let a mortal go near the sword. Zhang Long Wei was about to skim through this part when he spotted a phrase which was written as " Cure for blue ice poison. "

Zhang Long Wei's eyes sparkled with hope. As long as there's a solution, he would make it happen no matter what. Even Zhang Long Wei didn't know how or when his attachment to the youth had grown this much. Maybe it's because of spending time with this naughty youth all the time. Maybe it's just because of pure guilt which didn't even make sense in the first place....because feeling guilty for a sin he committed indeed didn't sound like Zhang Long Wei at all. 

His eyes quickly wondered to the following page and what wrriten in there was..... 

No cure..... 

Zhang Long Wei's hand which was caressing the youth's back came to a stop, his eyes couldn't continue to read the next sentence anymore and just paused at this two simple words which said " no cure".

What the hell was wrong with Li family ancestor who wrote this book? Why even bothered to name the title like " Cure for blue ice poison" when there really was just no cure. Maybe they just wrote it wrong.

Ignoring these two words which were written with such a neat and clear calligraphy, Zhang Long Wei continued to read only to tumble upon a horrible truth. 

According to the book, someone, who got effected by blue ice poison, would only be able to stay for the next three or four months in maximum. If one got poisoned like this in winter, the time left for their last moment would be even shorter.

Those who were poisoned might not look like patients in daytime. Signs of poison wouldn't show up in daytime and sometimes even make it seemed like the patient was already getting recovered. 

One's skin or veins which had already turned blue at night would be back to its normal complexion in daytime. Patients wouldn't even feel cold in daytime and could work or do their daily activities properly. But once the dusk came, the poison revealed it scary side once again. And patients would find the skin in more and more of their organs had already turned blue.

Though symptoms only showed at night, patients with deadly ice poison usually met the end of their life in daytime. And when such patients died, their whole body turned blue and cold.... just like a complete iceberg... 

Reading and reading, Zhang Long Wei's brows furrowed more and more. His grip on the youth's arm grew tighter. How could things turn out so terrible to this extent? Throwing the book onto the floor with a loud thud, Zhang Long Wei suddenly grew infuriated in the heart.

Impossible.... 

There's no way he would let Wang Li Jie die just like this. Only three months left to live? What a fuckin joke!!!... 

"Zian..... what's wrong? "

Due to sudden loud thud of the book, Wang Li Jie who was initially sleeping peacefully in Zhang Long Wei's embrace was yanked awake somewhat. Lifting his giddy head a bit with a slight frown, Wang Li Jie tried to sit up with his unsteady movements only to gently get drawn into Zhang Long Wei's arms once more. 

"There's nothing wrong... It's just that something slipped out of my hand..... you should rest more.... "

"Mn..... "

Caressing the back of the youth's head, Zhang Long Wei said in his mellow tone which had the sleepy youth closed his eyes obediently and go to sleep once again in next to no time. 

For the next couples of minute, the little chamber was absolutely quiet with the only sound of Wang Li Jie's light breathing. As if in a trance, Zhang Long Wei didn't do anything other than looking at the asleep youth's alluring face and patting his back, head or arm extremely gently. 

No one knew what was going on in his head at that moment. Zhang Long Wei stayed like this for what it seemed like an eternity. And only then did he get up with light steps to pick up the old book he just tossed away onto the floor. 

No matter what, he couldn't let Wang LiJie see this book. As to the cure or antidote for blue ice poison, he would need to find out another solution as soon as possible. Now that he thought about it, the reason Wang Li Jie got better and better as it got closer to the dawn might be just like written in the book.

Symptoms of poison disappeared in daytime and the patient could work and do daily activities properly like a healthy person... 

Zhang Long Wei was about to close the book after smoothing out somewhat crumbled page when his eyes landed on the already read sentence once again. 

" An invisible layer of such poison forming on the sword blade could harm any other mortals or demons who touched the blade. "

mortals or demons.... mortals or demons... 

What does it mean? No cultivators.... 

Flicking the page, Zhang Long Wei read the content about this topic very attentively once again. No cultivators.... there's nothing written like blue ice poison could also have effect on cultivators.

Come to think of it. Zhang Long Wei had been sticking deadly ice blade with him all day and night these months. Whether it was in the sect arena or training, he always used this sword. And sometimes, in duels, he did even injure other disciples with deadly ice blade. But nothing happened to them. 

But why... why only Wang Li Jie? Besides, if he thought back carefully, it'd been a couple of weeks since he injured the youth with this sword. But nothing happened to Wang Li Jie at all, this whole time. Only by now...only after such a long time...the poison took its toll. Something was really off with Wang Li Jie's identity though . Zhang Long Wei couldn't exactly grasp what it was. But he just knew it.

Even so, it didn't change the fact that the youth was now under the danger of blue ice poison. It didn't change the fact that Zhang Long Wei needed to find the antidote as soon as possible. These suspicions or whatever could be dealt later. Only the youth's life was the top priority. 

No matter what it takes, he will save Wang Li Jie for sure.....
