"I think I know what it is."Wen Qing said while frowning seriously.
Three pairs of eyes looked at her curiously. She was studying this poison for two days straight without even resting. Now, her daughter brought a handsome boy to help her and she was more than thankful for that. The boy was a genius and knew a lot about poisons. Wen Qing was satisfied with this boy. She smirked at her daughter!
'Hee! Hee! You little ancestor, do you think your mother doesn't know your mind?'
"What's it, senior Wen?" Zhen looked at her.
"Boy, look at this page." She gave him an old book which she was reading for hours. The book was already too old and has withered cover. It was brought from imperial Lan clan's library according to Wangji's order. They should handle it with atmost care.
Zhen carefully took the book and curiously looked. His eyes widened...
"So, there was really something like this, huh?"
Nuwa and Huaisang also peeked from behind.
"Flesh eating green algae? Ewww! What kind of thing is that? It's name itself is disgusting!" Nuwa made a vomiting sound.
Huaisang fanned himself.
"Yes. I also thought it was just some myth. It says that, this dark green algae grown inside underground caves were sun light can't enter. The humidity also must be very high. The most important thing is that it grow up by feeding human flesh." Wen Qing said.
"Hu... Human flesh?" Huaisang blinked.
"Mmn. About five hundred years ago, a village situated near dafan as the history says. The people there were ordinary humans but one day a group of bandits came and killed off everyone. And the corpses abandoned out there without proper burying. Soon a strange plague began to spread near that area and the authorities began to investigate it. They found these algae grown up from the deteriorating corpses. The entire area covered with poisonous gas. It took a month to clear up the area but so many people died from poisoning. Some crafty people stole this algae to attack their enemies!" She calmly told them what she read from the books and heard from her elders.
"What a greedy ass people!" Huaisang spoke and the other two agreed.
Wen Qing smiled. "Human heart always wanted more. None of us will be satisfied what we have already. But when it became an obsession, the matters will began to change and we will kill ourselves and the people around us. No one will get anything. Look now, somebody found those and fed it to bees and made it spread like it. The bees must have something in it to prevent them from dying by this. Or something mixed up in this, not only this algaes."
"Senior Wen, let's continue and make the cure to it." Zhen was excited.
"A-niang, is there someone can cure this?" Nuwa looked at her mother.
Wen Qing smiled again! This time it contained sadness. "There was someone. But that person is no more with us."
"Is it your master?" Nuwa asked again.
"Not master but a senior figure." Wen Qing sighed. "Ok! Now get to work. Since you all came here, I'm going to make you my slaves!"
Then she smiled evilly and the stupid children looking at her warily!

Li feng looked at his big sister worriedly.
"Jiejie, you stop pacing around! My head and eyes hurting."
The lady in front of him stopped and glared at him. Then sighed.
"Jiejie, I know you are feeling bad about the innocent people and wanted to meet your son also. I also want to meet my eldest nephew badly. But if we go there and tell them we knows the cure, then we will definitely captured by those damn Lans." Li feng sighed.
