Strange situation

During the process of examining Mu Jinse's pulse, Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but furrow her brows.

This kind of toxin is unheard of!

Mu Jinse's body hasn't been affected in any other way; it's just that her skin has turned into burnt bark.

If anyone were to see Mu Jinse's appearance, they wouldn't even consider her a living person, but merely a charred piece of wood.

"Grandmother, is it only the surface of your body that has changed like this?" Baili Hongzhuang asked.

Mu Jinse nodded. "This bark-like skin sheds off, and it's extremely painful each time it happens."

"Sheds off?" Baili Hongzhuang's expression changed, shocked by the revelation.

"Grandmother, how many times have you shed your skin until now?"

Baili Hongzhuang had never encountered this type of toxin before, so she could only learn more from her grandmother's account.

Only through that could she make accurate judgments.

"Many times, approximately once every two years. It started with just my face, but with each shedding, the affected area expanded until my whole body transformed into this state. I tried to prevent it from happening, but it's beyond my control."

Mu Jinse's complexion looked extremely grim. She had no idea what Yue Siqing had done to her. At this point, she would rather die without suffering any longer.

Upon hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang and Mu Lingbing exchanged a glance. It seemed that Yue Siqing truly enjoyed tormenting Mu Jinse. Every two years, she delivered another blow to make Mu Jinse suffer and endure the pain of watching her body gradually decay. It was a situation that nobody would be willing to accept.

"This Yue Siqing is truly twisted!" Mu Lingbing gritted her teeth. Yue Siqing didn't simply want Mu Jinse's life; she wanted to inflict suffering upon her, making her wish for death.

"Now that your entire body has transformed like this, I wonder if there will be another shedding…" Baili Hongzhuang pondered silently.

"Grandmother, how much time is left until the next shedding?"

"One month," Mu Jinse replied. Having decided to reveal everything, she held nothing back and meticulously recounted every detail of what she had experienced over the years to Baili Hongzhuang.

However, Baili Hongzhuang couldn't immediately figure out the problem. She only took a small sample of Mu Jinse's blood, intending to study it thoroughly.

"Grandmother, let me first take a look at your leg ailment."

After understanding the specifics of the disfigurement, Baili Hongzhuang shifted her focus to Mu Jinse's leg ailment. The previous issue was clearly not something that could be solved in a short time.

Mu Jinse nodded slightly, observing Baili Hongzhuang's expression. She knew that Baili Hongzhuang might also be at a loss.

But she had already experienced disappointment countless times, and now it was coming from her own granddaughter. She understood that this was how her life would be, and she no longer cared.

"Mother, is there truly no one who can cure your leg ailment?" Mu Lingbing couldn't help but ask.

Mu Jinse nodded with a bitter expression. "Yue Siqing is an expert in poison. She wants me to live like this for the rest of my life. It's not something an ordinary physician can unravel."

The hatred in Mu Lingbing's eyes grew deeper. Just like how Yue Siqing had tormented her over the years, each time causing unbearable suffering.
