Stretch out your foot.
Mai Xiaomai complied.
Abis poured some powder from a small bottle, coated it on her wound, then from another bottle, he poured out a black pill.
"Swallow it."
Abis handed the pill to her and said.
The pill smelled really bad, as if it was giving off a faint stench.
Just as Xiaomai put it near her mouth, her stomach started to churn, and she couldn't bring herself to put it in her mouth.
"Swallow it down!"
The usually indifferent expression on Abis's face became somewhat stern, and he spoke in a commanding tone.
"Is it an antidote for snake venom? But it's so awful, I simply can't swallow it!"
Mai Xiaomai tried to put it in her mouth, but her stomach's resistance was really severe, preventing her from swallowing.
Suddenly, Abis reached out, took hold of her chin, and forced it apart.
Her mouth involuntarily opened.
