Zhong Lang’s poison was finally removed layer by layer after being soaked for twelve hours every day.
At first, he used the Turtle Breathing Medicine. After breaking down a portion of the poison, he did not need to use it anymore.
On the sixth day.
“It’s about time. His life is definitely saved. This poison had corroded his internal organs, and he still needed to recuperate,” Qi Yang made a final conclusion and said. “There are still some residual toxins that need to be slowly removed.”
Of course, they were only trying to detoxify Zhong Lang’s condition. If they were asked to detoxify the Colored Glass Drunk, it might not work.
Liu Shimei sat at the side and did not say anything.
After so many days of torment, Zhong Lang’s skin had turned pale and wrinkled from the soaking. His originally good-looking facial features were covered in stubble, making him look even more like a wild man.
He sat cross-legged on the bed and said, “Thank you, Old Qi, Miss Liu, for saving my life.”
His body was still a little weak, so he cupped his fists and thanked them in a sitting position.
Then, he looked at Liu Shimei and said, “Miss Liu, I promised you that as long as you can save my life, if you don’t mind that I’m born in the wilderness and may bring trouble, I’m willing to follow you and protect you!”
Huangfu Lingyao, who had been sitting beside Liu Shimei, moved his chair closer to her and held her hand. He glared at Zhong Lang.
The silly dog had agreed to Zhong Lang being Liu Shimei’s bodyguard, but he was also unwilling.
Liu Shimei was expressionless and did not accept Zhong Lang’s explanation. Instead, he asked, “You came to the Imperial Capital to avoid trouble, right?” “That’s right,” Zhong Lang said truthfully.
Liu Shimei nodded and said, “I won’t ask you what disasters you have or what enemies you have. Normally, you are also a rather low-key person, so it is not easy for you to get into trouble. As for me…”
She paused for a moment and sighed slightly. “At this moment, I actually do need some manpower. Besides a servant girl and a nanny, I don’t have anyone else by my side. 1 was just planning to pick a few people to hire after helping you with the poison.”
“I’ve been in the martial world for many years, so I have a good eye for people. 1 can accompany Miss Liu to select workers!”
Liu Shimei shook her head and laughed. “What I mean is that I have to hire people to do things for me. I’m not used to the master-slave relationship of a slave contract. If both of us are willing, 1 prefer to use a contract to determine the relationship between us.”
“Contract?”
Not only did Zhong Lang not understand, Qi Yang also did not understand what she meant.
Huangfu Lingyao also looked at her.
“In other words, you and I have agreed on a contract period. Within the period, you must be loyal to me when you work for me. 1 will pay you the corresponding salary,” Liu Shimei explained. “After the contract ends, you can choose to renew it with me or terminate it. We can go our separate ways in the future.”
She smiled and said, “Just as you said, when we meet again in the martial world, we’re friends again!”
This concept was quite novel. Be it Qi Yang or Zhong Lang, they were all knowledgeable people who had traveled the martial world, but they had never heard of such a concept.
The Silly Second Prince had always been in a daze in the Imperial Capital. He also looked at her, dumbfounded.
Seeing that his explanation was not good enough, Liu Shimei said, “You can understand it as the indwelling agreement you mentioned. It’s just the difference between a long contract and a short contract. Of course, the most important point was human rights.”
“You mean, as long as you’re here, you have the right to decide. If the person working for you suddenly doesn’t want to do it, he can run away at any time?” Qi Yang was most interested in new things.
However, Liu Shimei shook her head..
