Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

Xia Qingqing was very satisfied with the old man's understanding, but when the time came to settle the bill, she would still let Mr. Ba keep an eye on it. No cultural relics could be left behind and they had to be brought home intact.

"Before the treatment, please explain clearly to Mr. Duke. My treatment method is a unique secret technique. Don't be surprised when the time comes."

Xia Qingqing gave him a reminder first to avoid scaring the old foreign man.

"Absolutely not. I trust Dr. Xia."

Duke Astor quickly stated that he believed in Xia Qingqing's secret technique.

"That's good. There are six courses in total, which will take about a year. The first course will start today."

Xia Qingqing was not very fluent in English, so Zhou Cheng translated for her. Duke Astor nodded as he listened, indicating that it was entirely up to her.

"Wait a mininute."

Xia Qingqing went out for a few minutes and came back with two cages. The cages were covered with black cloth, so you couldn't see what was inside.

Andrew and Zhou Cheng were both cheered up. The thing in the cage must be the key to the treatment.

Xia Qingqing lifted the black cloth, revealing what was inside, and everyone gasped.

In one cage was a fat hen, and in the other cage was a cobra with its tongue hanging out.

The cobra smelled the scent of human beings, raised its head, and hissed with its tongue. Its cold vertical pupils made people feel creepy.

"Is this for treatment?" Zhou Cheng asked.

Xia Qingqing nodded. She discovered snake venom treatment in her ancestors' medical books. There was also cancer in ancient times. After many experiments, her ancestors found that cobra venom can kill cancer cells and suppress their growth.

However, the amount of venom is very difficult to control. Too little will not kill cancer cells, and too much will damage the liver, kidneys and blood tissue, and the patient may die before being cured.

After several generations of experiments, the ancestors of the Xia family finally found the safest method with the least side effects. Combined with the auxiliary treatment of Lingquan, it can almost cure cancer 100%.

However, this method cannot be promoted because only the Xia family has the spiritual spring, and other doctors cannot cure the disease even if they know the method.

Xia Qingqing used this method to cure more than ten terminally ill cancer patients, who were found by Si Jinyi for her. They signed a voluntary treatment form before treatment, and any accidents that occurred during the treatment had nothing to do with her.

Fortunately, she was lucky and all ten patients recovered, and she didn't have to pay any medical bills.

Therefore, she has great confidence in governing the Duke of Astor.

Xia Qingqing reached into the cage containing the hens, quickly grabbed the hen, and threw it into the cobra's cage.

The cobra bit the hen like lightning, and in an instant, a large amount of venom was injected into the hen's body. The hen soon stopped struggling and died.

Xia Qingqing took out the dead chicken with tongs and asked, "Do you have any Chinese chefs here?"

"some."

The butler nodded.

Xia Qingqing asked him to call the chef, and soon a fat chef came over.

"You know how to make soup, right?" Xia Qingqing asked.

"Of course I will. What I am best at is making soup. There are chicken and snake soups. The best is to make dragon and phoenix soups. The taste is absolutely delicious!"

When the chef saw the cobra, his eyes lit up. He thought it would be a shame not to make soup with such a good snake.

"I'll tell you how to make the soup. Add half a chicken and these herbs. Simmer for an hour. Don't taste them. These herbs are poison. They are for patients. You will die if you eat them."

Xia Qingqing took out a bag of medicinal herbs, and they were indeed poison.

In traditional Chinese medicine, any disease is caused by evil spirits entering the body, cancer is no exception, so the treatment is to expel the evil spirits, that is, to detoxify. The method used by the ancestors of the Xia family is to fight poison with poison.

These plant toxins, combined with cobra venom, can kill cancer cells more gently.

Zhou Cheng translated her words, and Duke Astor and Andrew's faces changed. Cobras are deadly, and with so much poison, how could they survive after eating a chicken?

"In Chinese traditional medicine, fighting poison with poison is a common treatment method. Don't worry!"

Zhou Cheng comforted them.

Duke Astor did not get much comfort, but he still decided to trust Xia Qingqing. He would die if he didn't drink the soup, so he might as well take a chance.

An hour later, the chef came over with a bowl of chicken soup.

When he opened the lid, a strange aroma hit his nose and the Duke of Astor couldn't help swallowing his saliva. After arriving in the port city, his favorite thing was the soup here. All kinds of strange ingredients were stewed together, but the taste was not strange at all, but very delicious. It was really magical.

“Smells so good… Gulp…”

The sound of Andrew swallowing was deafening. He looked at the soup in the chef's hand eagerly, wanting to drink it.

"Teacher, you will die if you drink it!"

Zhou Cheng kindly reminded that this soup is more dangerous than puffer fish. He hasn't graduated yet, and the teacher must not die.

Andrew rolled his eyes at him and turned his head away angrily, thinking that he would not be greedy anymore if he couldn't see it.

Although he couldn't see it with his eyes, the strange fragrance seemed to have legs and kept drilling into his nose. His mouth was flooded with saliva, and it was just a little bit away from flowing down the corners of his mouth.

"Mr. Duke, you'd better drink it quickly!"

Andrew couldn't help it and advised Duke Astor to drink the soup quickly, otherwise he was really afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would risk his life to grab the soup.

He used to scoff when he heard people say that some gourmets risked their lives to eat puffer fish, thinking that either it was a marketing strategy for selling puffer fish, or that people who ate puffer fish were fools.

Life is so precious, how can you risk it for a bite to eat?

Now he finally understood. He used to sneer at it because he had never eaten real food and the temptation was not big enough, so he was able to maintain his sanity.

Duke Astor was also salivating at the aroma. He swallowed hard a few times, took the soup and was about to drink it, but was stopped by Xia Qingqing.

"Take this medicine first, otherwise you won't be able to bear it!"

Xia Qingqing handed him a pill, and Duke Astor ate it without hesitation and began to drink the soup.

“Eat the chicken, too.”

Xia Qingqing reminded him that he had to eat both the soup and the meat.

The Duke of Astor had been suffering from a poor appetite ever since he fell ill, but today he was aroused by the soup and ate the entire bowl of chicken soup, even chewing the bones into crumbs.

"belch……"

He wiped his mouth gracefully and looked at the soup bowl with unsatisfied look. It would be such a wonderful treatment method if he could have such delicious soup every day.

Xia Qingqing took out golden needles and quickly pierced his body with dozens of needles to block his tendons and veins. This would allow the poison in the chicken soup to concentrate on the diseased area.

This is the key. If the toxins are allowed to run rampant in the blood, the patient is likely to become paralyzed or even die.

As if she had seen through his thoughts, Xia Qingqing said to the housekeeper, "Go get a spittoon!"

The butler was stunned for a moment, then quickly went to get a spittoon. Xia Qingqing asked him to place it in front of the Duke of Astor.

"Take it!"

The Duke of Astor did not like to have a spittoon around him, and his butler and servants knew his preference.

"You'll need it later."

Xia Qingqing raised her wrist to check the time. According to past experience, the attack would occur about half an hour after drinking the chicken soup.

Andrew and Zhou Cheng were immediately cheered up. It seemed that the chicken soup was going to work.

Xia Qingqing asked the housekeeper to bring a mask again. She put it on herself and asked others to wear one as well.

"Mr. Duke will vomit blood in half an hour. Don't panic. It's the toxins in the chicken soup fighting against the cancer cells. It's a normal reaction." Xia Qingqing reminded.

The Duke of Astor became very nervous, and the half hour seemed like a century.
