An Awkward Treatment

"Someone's coming!" Zhang Mei saw a figure appear from the mountain ridge in the distance and run towards them. Although the trees provided cover, the glimpses of the figure revealed that they were definitely heading their way. So, she shouted even louder and started waving her hands, hoping the person would hurry.

When Liang Huaishan and Sun Hongkai heard Zhang Mei's shouts, they turned and saw a figure rushing towards them from afar. Their hopes surged, and like seeing a beacon of hope, they joined Zhang Mei in shouting. They hadn't expected to actually see someone, and all three were so excited that tears welled up.

"Tongtong! Wake up, wake up! Someone's coming!" Liang Huaishan saw that Yang Yantong was somewhat in a coma and immediately shook her body, trying to wake her. She thought to herself, I can't let Shanshan pass out, I must make her wake up. Even if I don't know if this is the right thing to do, I can't worry about it anymore.

Qin Lixing also saw the approaching person. He thought resentfully, We don't even know who it is yet, and whether they can even treat Yang Yantong is a question. What are they shouting about! So, he just stood there, making no move, coldly watching the others.

The figure running over was Chen Mo. He heard the shouts and rushed over. As soon as he got close, he saw several people shouting anxiously, "Help! Help! Someone here was bitten by a snake!"

Chen Mo immediately quickened his pace and saw Yang Yantong lying on the ground, unconscious. He frowned slightly. Snakebites were relatively rare. While there were snakes in the Qinling Mountains, most were non-venomous. The most venomous snake was the Short-tailed Viper, but this snake was naturally sensitive and neurotic! It would avoid humans from a distance unless you stepped on it, and it wouldn't actively attack humans. Moreover, being bitten by a Short-tailed Viper in the Qinling Mountains was rarer than winning the lottery!

He checked her eyes and pupils, and looked at the bite area. He also tested the injured person's body temperature, feeling her forehead was very hot. It seemed the situation was critical! The bite location was rather awkward, on the inner side of the injured person's lower limb.

"What kind of snake bit her? Did you see it?" Chen Mo turned and asked. He noticed two girls and one boy were standing close by, while another boy was further away. He was a bit confused about their situation. For a snakebite, it was crucial to identify the snake species to choose the correct antivenom. However, judging by the situation, it was probably a wasted question.

As Chen Mo expected, the group chattered a lot, which only confused him further. However, he roughly confirmed that it was likely a Short-tailed Viper bite. If it was this snake, it would be quite troublesome. Fortunately, he was the one who encountered them.

"She might have been bitten by a Short-tailed Viper and needs the venom to be sucked out. We need to take off her pants first. You guys..." Since the bite was on a girl, Chen Mo felt it was better to explain clearly.

"It's okay, it's okay! Hurry up, Tongtong is about to pass out!" Liang Huaishan's voice was tearful, but she managed to hold back her sobs. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she was quite frightened.

Yang Yantong was wearing tight jeans, so it was a bit difficult. Chen Mo was also hesitant to take off a girl's pants for the first time and didn't know where to start. Seeing this, Liang Huaishan called Zhang Mei over, and together they pushed Yang Yantong's pants down to her knees.

Chen Mo saw the bite location and felt a wave of awkwardness. This situation, encountered for the first time, left him flustered.

He secretly suppressed the surging blood and fantasies in his heart, circulated his True Essence, and managed to quell the impulse.

Then, he focused his mind and began to treat the snake venom. However, the scent of her body filled his nostrils, making it even harder to control himself. He quickly circulated his cultivation technique again, suppressing the unruly thoughts.

Although he had never treated an illness or handled a snakebite before, Chen Mo studied biology and knew some basic knowledge. Especially with Cultivation of Immortality, he had a detailed understanding of traditional Chinese medicine knowledge regarding meridians and acupoints in the human body. Therefore, apart from being a bit clumsy, there were no other issues.

He used a knife to make cross-shaped incisions at the fang marks and then took out a mineral water bottle to rinse the wound. Although his belongings were taken from his backpack, they all came from the Universe Bead. And since he obtained the Universe Bead, he hadn't drunk mineral water, only using the bottles to hold the Stream Water from the Universe Bead. This, fortunately, benefited Yang Yantong.

After rinsing the wound once, he directly used his mouth to suck out the venom. He would suck out the venom, then drink a mouthful of Stream Water and spit out the residue in his mouth. As this was his first time treating a snakebite, he gradually calmed down. The faint fragrance of a maiden lingered around his nose, but he had no mind to pay attention to it. Except for occasionally brushing against her body with the side of his face, he maintained his composure, acting like a true gentleman. In the face of a life crisis, there were no other thoughts.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later, when the blood being sucked out turned clear, that he took out another bottle of mineral water filled with Stream Water to rinse the wound. Then, he used strips of cloth torn from his own shirt to wrap the wound. He wiped the sweat from his brow. This somewhat sensual rescue was truly mentally taxing.

Chen Mo's rescue process actually took place while Yang Yantong was half-conscious and half-unconscious. However, as the snake venom decreased, she gradually regained consciousness. She was fully aware of what happened later and was so embarrassed that her whole body felt hot, a mix of shame and indignation.

"Open your mouth, drink some water!" Since Chen Mo had taken on the task of rescuing her, for safety's sake, he brought the mineral water bottle to Yang Yantong's lips and fed her some Stream Water. Then, he held her arm, seemingly checking her pulse, but actually circulating his True Essence along Yang Yantong's meridians. The snake venom in her body was completely expelled through the wound.

After Chen Mo's efforts, Yang Yantong felt her body gradually regaining sensation, and her consciousness became clearer. Although the water she was fed felt very cool and delicious, and drinking it made her feel refreshed all over, she was too shy to do anything but watch the mineral water bottle leave her sight with disappointment.

Chen Mo helped Yang Yantong sit up halfway and asked, "Are you feeling better?" Although he was confident in the Stream Water, and her body had been treated with his True Essence, it was his first time treating someone, and he was still a bit uneasy. He asked casually.

"Much better! Thank you!" Yang Yantong could now see Chen Mo's face clearly. Although he was ordinary-looking, his eyes were truly beautiful, shining brightly and captivatingly, making one want to keep looking at them. His skin was also so good. Was he not from a mountain village? How could he have such good skin? It was almost enviable.

Chen Mo nodded. Although Yang Yantong was very beautiful, and the rescue had been awkward earlier, there was no lingering feeling now.

"Help her out, it shouldn't be too much of a problem!" Chen Mo turned to Liang Huaishan and Zhang Mei.

Immediately, all three girls cried out in unison, because Yang Yantong hadn't put her pants back on yet. With the help of the other two, she quickly managed to get them on.

"Thank you!" Liang Huaishan came over to Chen Mo and said to him.

"No need to thank me! It was just a small thing to do when I encountered it!" Seeing their attire, he knew they were hikers, so he continued, "You shouldn't have come here. This area is basically uninhabited. It's quite dangerous if something happens."

"Indeed!" Liang Huaishan sighed. She then recounted their ordeal to Chen Mo. Casually, she pointed to Qin Lixing's location, intending to say it was his fault for leading them there, but found he had already disappeared from their surroundings.
