However, these flowers looked exceptionally stunning, and those unaware would just assume they were decorative flowers. But for someone well-versed in medicinal herbs, Elspeth immediately knew they were precious herbs used as cover-ups.
The young woman bent over and picked a white flower. As she took a sniff, a faint medicinal herb scent spread out.
“This should be Hedyotis diffusa, a medicinal herb used to treat the heart and lungs.”
Gilbert quirked a brow in response. “Looks like old man Sonny taught you quite a lot.”
“Enough yapping. Let’s take a look inside. We’ve wandered one big round, and this is the most suspicious one here.”
“Let’s go.” Gilbert nodded in agreement.
The two tip-toed and crouched, still entering the premise over the wall.
The inner court was very different from the outer court, and the two walked alongside the wall to avoid as many potential booby traps as possible.
However, they hadn’t taken a few steps when Gilbert suddenly exclaimed softly. He lowered his head and found a small patterned snake slithering by his leg while two distinct fang marks appeared on his calf.
Elspeth kicked the snake away and frowned when she saw his calf turning purple rapidly. At that, she pulled a dagger out and aimed at the small snake.
The toxin would be temporarily subdued once Gilbert ate the snake gall and applied her medicine to the wound.
However, before she had a good aim at the snake, a female’s voice came from the side.
“Could you please not touch my snake?” The voice was crisp, and it sounded like it belonged to an innocent, gullible child.
Elspeth turned around and found that it was no child at all, but a young woman who had just barely reached adulthood. Her skin was flawless, and she had a unique widow’s peak to complement her stunning features. If anything, she looked like a beauty whose family kept hidden from the world.
As for her voice, it was innately childish.
“My friend is injured, though. I need to treat him,” said Elspeth as she frowned, feeling rather displeased.
In other words, your snake bit my friend. Either you hand us the snake, or you hand us the antidote.
