Chapter 136: The Best of Both Worlds: Poison and Poison Wine
His frequent entry and exit to the secret room, and healing, naturally aroused the suspicion of her parents, and finally one day, when his parents hid in the cabinet of the studio in advance, they witnessed the painter open the mechanism, and after entering the secret room, out of concern, they also opened the mechanism and went up. .
As a result, they saw an extremely bloody scene, that is, their beloved son, with his arms and flesh blurred, was excitedly slitting his own throat with a knife, and suddenly his mother fainted on the spot, and his father stepped forward to stop him.
At this point, he also knew that he could no longer hide his parents, so he had to tell the whole story of the process of met, knowing, and falling in love with Cynthia.
Listening to their son's words, the painter's parents were shocked and very afraid, that is, their daughter-in-law was actually changed by a python, so didn't she live with the monster for so long.
For the sake of their son's future happiness, the old couple went to visit a witch and asked her for guidance. After all, it was she who instructed their son in the first place to successfully turn the python into a girl, and although their son did not become a python, he lived in that perverted hobby all day long.
All of this stems from the witch's guidance, so the bell must be tied to the bell, and only the witch knows how to end it.
And after hesitating, the witch still told the old couple that their son had the sequelae of exchange blood and had this perverted hobby, and there was only one way to really save their son.
When the witch said the only feasible solution, the old couple was very embarrassed for a while, and they didn't know what to do......
When the painter was exposed to this hobby by his parents in the secret room that day, and was forced to tell his parents the truth, he tried his best to persuade his parents to help him keep this bad habit secret, because he really didn't want Cynthia to feel guilty for the rest of his life.
But his parents naturally couldn't accept such a cruel reality, thinking that their son had lost his nature and was enchanted.
He was also very angry and said cruel words, if he had to protect the snake girl, he would cut off the father-son and mother-son relationship with him.
And bluntly told the painter that whether he agreed or not, he would ask the best witch to get rid of the python-turned-enchantress. Unless the painter can prove that the snake girl has completely become a normal person, and the painter's penchant for painting every half a month can be completely removed. They would agree to live together.
After his parents left the chamber angrily, the painter locked himself in the chamber in agony, and under the intense torture of that perverted habit, he once again turned the blood of his arms cut with a knife, and the flesh was blurred.
The reason why I am so cruel to myself this time is that this hobby is difficult to control, and once I do it, I must vent it, otherwise the whole person will languish. Second, he also hated himself extremely for being incompetent, that is, he didn't know how to protect his most beloved woman, Cynthia, without making his parents sad.
Because for the painter, the most worrying thing is that this situation will occur, he has always been very filial to his parents, and will never go against his parents' wishes, but this time for Cynthia, he lied to his parents, and he also felt very guilty, because in his heart, his parents and Cynthia are the relatives he wants to protect the most.
Now there is an irreconcilable conflict between his parents and Cynthia, and he must make his own choice between them.
This choice is the most painful for a man!
No matter who he chooses, he will deeply hurt the other party, and he himself will feel guilty for the rest of his life.
So, after seeing his parents angrily leaving the secret room, the painter knew it was time to make a choice.
It's just that he really doesn't know how to choose, he hopes to have the best of both worlds, so he thinks of witches again, because witches have always been resourceful and understand the causes and consequences, maybe they can really help him come up with a promise that will not hurt his parents, but will not break his promise to Cynthia to protect her for the rest of her life.
Considering that his arm was injured and it was too difficult to go out, he tried to write a letter and sent it to the witch's house, so he waited patiently for a reply.
When he was at home both recuperating and depressed for half a month, he unexpectedly received a reply from the witch, saying that there was a way to solve his predicament, after reading the letter, the painter rushed to the witch's house as soon as possible, but he did not expect that the witch was not at home, but a strange man who claimed to be the witch's assistant was already waiting for him.
He said that the witch had already figured out a solution for him, and it was just up to him to decide for himself whether to use it or not. It's just that today is the annual International Witches Conference, and she has to attend, and his affairs can't be delayed any longer, so she entrusts him as an assistant to wait for him to come.
The painter was not suspicious of the man's words, for he had heard the witch say that she did have an assistant, but he had never seen him.
In addition, he was also desperate to know what the witch was doing, so he didn't verify the identity of this assistant again, but couldn't wait to ask the assistant to give him guidance immediately.
Then the assistant said what the witch had come up with, which was to fight poison with poison. After saying that, he also gave him a bronze wine cup that looked very old, and a small bottle of poisoned wine. It is said that this bottle of poisoned wine was prepared by the witch herself for a long time, and it can completely dissolve the toxins in his and Cynthia's bodies.
The assistant also told the painter that the witch thought that the reason why Cynthia could not fully become a human was because the snake blood in her body was poisonous, and after the painter exchanged blood with her, although Cynthia's body became human due to the scarcity of endotoxins, the toxins in her body were still there, and as time went by, they would slowly become more and more.
As for the painter's current perverted hobby, it is also caused by the toxins in Cynthia's body. First, after the painter and Cynthia exchanged blood, there was also a small amount of this toxin in his body, and secondly, whenever the painter and Cynthia had an intimate relationship, he would be infected with more toxins, so his hobby would become more and more serious.
Listening to this assistant's words, the painter thought it made sense when he recalled it carefully, because it was true that every time he had an intimate relationship with Cynthia, he would feel itchy all over his body and his throat throb, and then that perverted habit would become very strong.
Although he felt that this method made a lot of sense, and that the witch had personally configured it for him, he still had great concerns, that is, this was poisoned wine after all, and what if it didn't remove the toxins from Cynthia's body, but harmed her.
Perhaps seeing that the painter was worried, the assistant made another suggestion to reassure the painter, that is, he should drink a drink first, and if he was fine, then give Cynthia a drink, and it would definitely be fine, anyway, if you want to completely cure the toxins in their bodies, this bottle of poisoned wine must be drunk by both of them to make sense, otherwise as long as one party still has toxins in his body, the other party will be infected sooner or later, unless the two never have that kind of intimate relationship again.
After listening to the assistant's suggestion, the painter naturally accepted it gladly, for the sake of Cynthia's future, let alone let him try a glass of poisoned wine, even ten glasses, he would not frown. Even if he was poisoned because of it, he would never regret it.
So, the assistant himself poured a cup of poisoned wine into the silver wine cup in front of him, and signaled that he could drink it.
Without hesitation, the painter took the glass and took a closer look at the ancient bronze goblet, which, in addition to its age, was carved with a sacred cross, which at first glance was not ordinary, and he was even more convinced.
Afterwards, the painter drank it all and sat quietly for more than ten minutes, and sure enough, he did not feel any discomfort in his body, and then he completely relaxed.
During this time, the assistant said that many witches had spent a great deal of effort and money to make up the poisoned wine, and then he said a relatively large fee, suggesting that the painter would use it as a reward for the poisoned wine.
The painter himself was relatively wealthy, and he did not hesitate to spend as much money as he could solve his most difficult problems, so without hesitation, after writing a check for a large amount, he carefully put away the bronze wine glass and the small bottle of poisonous wine, and went home excitedly.
When he got home, he immediately summoned his parents and Cynthia to meet in the living room, took out the bottle of poisoned wine and the bronze wine cup in public, and told him what the witch had entrusted her assistant to tell him, and even told his parents that he had drunk a glass of this poisoned wine and was in very good health.
And it's been half a month since the last time he cut his arm in order to satisfy his perverted habits, and it stands to reason that he should do it today, but he doesn't have that kind of impulse at all, obviously all this shows that this cup of poisoned wine has an effect, and his perverted habits have been removed.
In this regard, his parents breathed a sigh of relief and acquiesced in his approach.
Next, it's time for Cynthia to drink the poisoned wine that will remove the toxins from her body. Cynthia would not hesitate to drink the wine brought by the painter, even if it was really poisonous, because she trusted the man she loved the most.
For Cynthia, she can also understand the hardships of the man she loves for the past half a month, who has been sandwiched between her and his parents, and does not know how to choose.
In the past half month, the painter's parents also treated her coldly, spoke unceremoniously, and had a strong desire that she would die soon.
The painter, on the other hand, locked himself in the studio, and no one wanted to see him, except for drinking, that is, he was asleep, and even in his dreams he was saying sorry, one time he was saying sorry to his parents, and the other time he was saying sorry to Cynthia, obviously because he was tortured.
Cynthia saw all this in her eyes and hurt in her heart, and sometimes she regretted why she had tried to take on human form in the first place, and even more regretted that she had not covered up the entrance of her cave, which caused the painter to break in by mistake, and now she made him miserable.
If time could be turned back, she would rather be alone and alone as a python for the rest of her life than see the man she loves because she has become so decadent and sad.
So a few days ago, she couldn't bear to make the painter so embarrassed, so she also met the witch in private, and expressed her willingness to sacrifice herself, as long as the witch could get rid of the painter's perverted habits.
