Chapter: 6638
Leaf Yan sneered: "I can make anyone appear here without warning, and I can take away your dog's life at any time. Given the huge disparity in our abilities, don't you think it unnecessary for me to come to your doorstep just once to deceive you?"
Wu Shih-hang asked cautiously: "Why would you give me this pill? Are you trying to make me betray the lord?"
Leaf Yan smiled: "Don't worry about it. I'm giving you this pill today without requiring you to do anything for me in return. I simply see that Wu Feiyan is not well-pleased with you, and since he cut off your hand, I'll let your hand regrow again!"
Upon finishing his words, Leaf Yan ordered: "I give you three seconds to swallow the pill. If not, I'll take it back. Remember, once you leave this village, there won't be another shop like this one."
Wu Shih-hang hesitated and wrestled with his mind for half a day, but still dared not try the mysterious pill offered by the stranger before him.
He was ultimately a member of the Wu family, and he was very clear about the master's control over all the methods except using family members as long-term hostages. There was also another household treasure, which was a poisonous toxin planted in these people's bodies.
As he was a member of the Wu family, he didn't need to go through the process of taking the toxic pill, so he worried that the elixir offered by Leaf Yan was different. Once he was controlled again, there would be no chance for him to turn the tables; it would just be a fool's dream.
Leaf Yan saw his face filled with fear and became slightly impatient in his heart. Then, he quickly took two steps forward and snatched the elixir from Wu Shih-hang's right hand, while using his other hand to directly hold open Wu Shih-hang's mouth. Next, he slapped Wu Shih-hang's face with force, as if tapping on a drum, forcing the elixir into Wu Shih-hang's stomach.
Leaf Yan saw that he was in a state of panic, and said calmly: "There's no need to be so anxious. You've only lost one left hand, so the elixir will take effect very quickly. All you need to do is wait patiently for five or six minutes, and your left hand will regrow again."
As of now, Wu Shih-hang still couldn't believe that this person had given him a rebirth pill. It was indeed said that such a pill could restore one's physical form.
This kind of elixir was so precious just by its name; even his own father might not be willing to give it to his son, let alone someone like the greatest enemy of the Clear Water Pavilion over the past few hundred years.
However, after taking the elixir, he immediately felt that the wound on his left wrist suddenly became hot and itchy, extremely uncomfortable.
As for Wu Shih-hang, Leaf Yan naturally didn't treat him with such kindness as he did Li Yalin, Ito Hiroki, or He Yingxiao. Initially, those few people took the rebirth pill, and Leaf Yan deliberately made them take it in a muddy bath to prevent their discomfort; Wu Shih-hang couldn't expect such treatment, so he could only endure this feeling.
It was as if tens of thousands of ants were crawling all over his wound, nonstop gnawing and scratching, extremely uncomfortable.
Just when he was in great pain, he suddenly realized that his previously flat wound had begun to rise up.
Next, a small flesh bud-like thing grew at the top of the raised area, like a sprouting seed that continued to grow and thicken. Then, five extremely fine flesh buds emerged from the tip.
At this point, Wu Shih-hang was completely oblivious to the unbearable itching pain and was instead stunned by the flesh bud, having already noticed that it had grown into the shape of a small palm.
His eyes were wide with wonder, staring intently at the tiny hand, then looking at Leaf Yan and muttering: "Is this... really my left hand growing out?"
Leaf Yan smiled: "Just like that, in just a few minutes, your left hand will return to its original state."
Wu Shih-hang's heart was racing with excitement!
However, amidst the excitement, his gaze also turned more suspicious and he thought for a moment before asking: "Mister... I don't understand. Why would you give me such precious elixir so freely?"
Leaf Yan smiled: "I'm not at odds with the Clear Water Pavilion, but rather with Wu Feiyan alone. In my eyes, all other members of the Clear Water Pavilion are pitiful insects poisoned and enslaved by her."
After saying this, he looked at Wu Shih-hang again and added: "And I know why you lost your left hand. It's definitely because of my actions in the Du County Mine, which made Wu Feiyan lose face and forced her to drag you out as a scapegoat."
Wu Shih-hang's mind was racing: "Could it be that this person doesn't know I'm a descendant of the imperial family? Or does he think I'm like those Cavalry Guards, forced by the imperial family?"
Thinking this, he quickly followed Leaf Yan's words and said: "Sir, what you're saying is indeed too true. We're stuck in this environment where we have no choice but to do as we're told. If the imperial lady wants us to do something, we have to do it; if she wants us to do something else, we have to do that. She wanted me to use one left hand as a trade-off, so I had no choice but to cut off my left hand..." JrNovels.com
