Chapter 183: I Prefer Staying in the Countryside

Qin Zhan, standing to the side, slapped his forehead.

It's over.

Still foolish.

What recovery of sanity.

It simply doesn't exist!

Suddenly!

Xiao Liujin began to struggle wildly again, and his wrists, bound by hemp rope, were chafed with deep bloodstains.

Xiao Dabao was incomparably anxious; he wanted to reach out and hold him down, but was nearly bitten.

He hurriedly asked Xiao Moting.

"Prince, has any news come from Shennü Daren?"

Upon hearing the word "Shennü," Xiao Liujin, who had been struggling frantically, suddenly stopped moving, his gaze becoming dull.

Seeing this, Xiao Dabao hurriedly coaxed him, "Liujin, don't move around; Shennü Daren will be angry."

Xiao Liujin actually nodded and truly stopped moving.

He was like an abandoned puppy, curled up on the ground, huddled into a ball.

This scene made Xiao Dabao feel both heartbroken and distressed.

Xiao Moting's face darkened as he asked the Military Doctor.

"How is the situation with those people?"

"Is there any method of treatment?"

The Military Doctor frowned deeply and shook his head.

"They have already lost their sanity; there is only slaughter in their eyes. As long as they are untied, they will violently attack people."

"Either kill them to give them a release, or wait until they exhaust their strength and die of depletion."

In Xiao Moting's ink-colored eyes, a rare look of irritation appeared, his gaze exceptionally fierce.

"They can only die? Is there no other way?"

The Military Doctors were trembling with fear, none of them daring to speak.

Everyone knew that this prince before them, who usually appeared easy to talk to, was actually, if provoked, cruel in his methods and would even disown his own kin when he turned ruthless.

The atmosphere all around was exceptionally tense.

Qin Zhan spoke cautiously, "Shennü Daren, didn't she take a blood sample? Why not ask Shennü Daren?"

Hearing his words, Xiao Moting's gloomy gaze calmed down quite a bit.

"I will ask."

He took out a piece of paper, wrote a few words, and sent it to Bai Wei.

……

Yanjing.

Jialide Auction House.

Bai Wei was talking to Richard, with quite a few people standing nearby.

"……Miss Bai, these antiques you selected are all here now." Richard folded his hands in front of him, "We will take these few crates of Kent Dynasty relics; we will cooperate again if there is an opportunity in the future."

"Good."

Bai Wei nodded.

The appraisal of the antiques exchanged with Ross Company had finally come out.

She had exchanged for over seventy items in total, all of which were Huaxia antiques that had been scattered abroad, every single one exquisite and peerless.

Deputy Director Qian was also present, feeling very excited.

"Wonderful, these antiques have drifted overseas for so many years, and now they finally have a chance to come home. Thank you, Miss Bai Wei!"

The crowd around them applauded one after another.

Zhou Yuchuan smiled slightly and said to Bai Wei, "This time it is truly thanks to you; otherwise, we wouldn't have recovered so many Huaxia antiques."

There were also many reporters at the scene, all raising their cameras to take pictures of the antiques.

One impatient reporter couldn't help but interject.

"Miss Bai Wei, now that you have so many antiques, do you have any plans?"

"That's right, with these seventy-plus antiques, one could even open a small exhibition hall."

"Miss Bai, may I ask if you have any plans to open an antique exhibition hall in a big city?"

Bai Wei smiled and faced the crowd.

"Everyone, I am just an ordinary Farm owner. Compared to the city, I prefer staying in the countryside."

"Therefore, I have no plans to open an exhibition hall."

"I intend to donate all of these seventy-plus recovered antiques to the National Museum free of charge."

Her voice was clear and resonant, striking the ground with the sound of metal.

The surroundings were silent.

Immediately following, the crowd erupted into thunderous applause.

Deputy Director Qian was also stunned for several seconds; after coming to his senses, he took a breath in disbelief.

"Miss Bai Wei, you... you really want to donate these antiques to the National Museum free of charge?"

"Yes." Bai Wei nodded earnestly, her bright eyes flashing with a firm light, "They have been drifting abroad for decades. Now that they have returned to Huaxia, I want to donate them to the museum so that they can be seen by more people, and also let more Huaxia people remember history!"

Although many years have passed since that era, history must not be forgotten!

Each of these antiques is a living history book, letting everyone know that Huaxia also once had a period of time that was unbearable to look back upon!

The applause all around nearly blew the roof off.

Everyone was clapping, and even the reporters put down their cameras to offer heartfelt praise.

Deputy Bureau Chief Qian swallowed hard, seemingly moved.

He stepped forward, gripped Bai Wei's hand firmly, and wore a sincere expression.

"Miss Bai Wei, I thank you on behalf of the country; the country will certainly remember you!"

Museum Curator Qin also let out a long sigh, "Bai Wei, we owe you another favor! If there is anything you need our help with in the future, just ask!"

"Okay."

Bai Wei nodded and smiled, pursing her lips.

In truth, these antiques meant nothing to her; they couldn't be eaten or drunk, and aside from collecting or selling them for money, they held no further significance for her.

But she wasn't short on money right now, nor was she short on antiques.

Keeping them served no great purpose.

By donating the antiques to the National Museum, she could earn the country's gratitude.

According to the second prophecy of the Daliang sorcerer, Daliang Kingdom would face even greater challenges next year.

A single misstep, and Daliang would perish.

Right now, she was sending Xiao Moting all kinds of equipment to help him win battles.

But what about the future?

According to the prophecy, the enemy would possess modern weapons, and even steamships and Cannon would appear...

When that time came, relying solely on her own strength would be very difficult to manage.

Therefore, Bai Wei intended to find a powerful backer!

Some resources were hard to obtain, but as long as the big shots present stepped in, it would be a matter of just one word.

The camera flashes all around captured Bai Wei's bright, radiant smile in photographs.

Deputy Bureau Chief Qian still wanted to hold a donation ceremony to officially present her with a certificate of merit.

But Bai Wei refused.

She had received a note from Xiao Moting and could not waste time now.

Once the reporters dispersed, Bai Wei pulled Zhou Yuchuan to the side and lowered her voice.

"Has the test result for the blood sample I gave you come out?"

Zhou Yuchuan was wearing semi-rimless glasses today, which made his temperament appear even more refined and his features more handsome.

He pushed up his frames with a slender index finger, his gentle expression turning somewhat serious.

"I was just about to look for you."

"Where exactly did you get this blood sample?"

"My friend in the university laboratory got the results."

"This blood sample contains a very rare plant toxin, a toxin extracted from an ancient plant. This toxin can paralyze human pain nerves, has strong hallucinogenic effects, and stimulates the combative factors within the human body."

After finishing, he paused.

"A thousand years ago, this toxin was used by ancient pharaohs as a biological weapon on wild beasts, driving them to go mad and kill enemies on the battlefield."
