37: Chapter 37 This cat isn't possessed, it's poisoned.

Jiang Feng shifted his gaze from the Delivery Rider's flushed face and landed on the cardboard box on the ground.

The box was an ordinary courier carton, with a few irregular ventilation holes poked into the side with a ballpoint pen.

A faint meow came from inside, sounding more like a sigh.

"It was perfectly fine when I left to deliver food this morning, full of energy."

The Delivery Rider's voice trembled. He squatted down but dared not open the box.

"When I came back at noon, I saw it foaming at the mouth, lying on the ground, convulsing."

"I rushed it to the hospital, had blood tests and everything done, but the doctor said they couldn't find the cause. All the indicators were normal, so they just told me to go home and observe it."

"But it's getting worse and worse. Now it can't even meow anymore."

The Delivery Rider wiped the sweat from his face and pointed at Jiang Feng, as if he had grabbed onto a lifeline.

"I saw a video of you posted in our delivery group, saying you were incredibly accurate with your fortune-telling at the university gate. I... I just thought, maybe it had attracted something unclean..."

The crowd around them began to whisper.

"It's Jiang the Half-Immortal! It really is him!"

"That white lab coat, that aura—he's even more divine than in the video."

Jiang Feng ignored the discussion around him.

His gaze pierced through the cardboard box.

System vision activated.

Inside the box, an orange kitten was curled up, its fur messy, its body trembling unconsciously.

There was white foam hanging from the corners of its mouth.

There was no healthy aura on the cat, only a contracting mass of grey, deathly energy.

Immediately after, a line of red text popped up.

【Warning: Target's vital signs are weak】

【Status: Neurotoxin poisoning】

【Toxin source: Analyzing... 10%... 30%... 70%...】

Jiang Feng's expression turned serious.

"Open it." Jiang Feng spat out the two words.

The Delivery Rider was startled and scrambled to tear off the tape on the box.

The tape was ripped open, and the box lid was opened.

A fishy, sweet smell wafted out.

The little orange cat lay there weakly. Upon seeing the light, its eyelids only fluttered slightly; it didn't have the strength to lift them.

"Master, look..."

"This isn't possession," Jiang Feng interrupted him. "It's poisoning."

These two words made everyone present go quiet.

The Delivery Rider's face instantly turned pale.

"Poisoning? Impossible! I... I usually keep it locked in the house. It couldn't have eaten anything from outside!"

An older woman holding a Bichon Frise nearby couldn't help but interject: "Young man, did you feed it something you shouldn't have? Don't you know that cats can't eat chocolate or onions?"

"No, no!" The Delivery Rider waved his hands frantically. "The place I rent is small, just a single room, and I live alone. I only feed it cat food and water. I haven't even bought it any treats."

"Then how could it be poisoned?!"

"The source of the poison is in your home." Jiang Feng's voice wasn't loud, but it made the whole crowd go quiet again.

He squatted down and reached his gloved fingers into the box, not touching the cat, but brushing through the empty space beside it.

In his system vision, he could see those invisible toxin currents dissipating from the cat's mouth and nose.

【Toxin source analysis complete】

【Locked: Lycorine, Narcissus extract】

Jiang Feng stood up and looked at the Delivery Rider.

"Your place is very clean?"

"Yes! I clean every day!"

"Apart from cat food and water, there's nothing else?"

"Nothing! Absolutely nothing!" The Delivery Rider was certain.

Jiang Feng didn't press further but changed the question: "Have you felt like the air in your home wasn't good lately, and wanted to purify it?"

The Delivery Rider was stunned and subconsciously nodded: "Yes... yes, that house of mine has small windows, it's a bit stuffy."

Jiang Feng stared at him: "So, you bought a new potted plant."

This wasn't a question.

"A green one, with long, thin leaves, currently blooming with small white flowers, which you placed on the balcony."

The Delivery Rider's mouth slowly opened, and he couldn't close it for a long time. He seemed to remember something and slapped his thigh.

"Yes... yes, that's it! The flower shop downstairs was having a sale, so I bought one... called, what was it called..." He scratched his head, unable to remember.

"Narcissus." Jiang Feng said it for him.

"Yes! That's it, Narcissus! The owner said this thing is easy to grow and can purify the air!" A hint of joy appeared on the Delivery Rider's face, thinking he had found a clue. "Master, is there something wrong with that flower pot? Did someone cast a curse on it?"

Jiang Feng glanced at him.

"The flower is fine." His voice turned cold. "What's wrong is your ignorance."

"Your cat licked the leaves of that Narcissus, or drank the water in the pot's saucer."

"The entire Narcissus plant is poisonous; it's highly toxic to cats, especially the bulbs. The main symptoms are vomiting, convulsions, and eventually nerve paralysis and cardiac arrest."

Jiang Feng pointed to the kitten in the box: "There should be plant debris in its vomit, but you were too stupid to even notice."

The Delivery Rider was completely dumbfounded.

He looked blankly at Jiang Feng, then at the kitten in the box, his mind a complete blank.

Narcissus... is poisonous?

Just because he wanted to purify the air, he almost killed this little life?

Remorse and fear overwhelmed him.

"Then... what do I do? Master! I... what should I do?" His voice was shaking uncontrollably.

Jiang Feng raised his hand to check his wristwatch.

Time was passing.

"Take it back to that hospital, tell the doctor it's Narcissus poisoning, and have them perform emesis, gastric lavage, and detoxification treatment as quickly as possible!"

"Ten more minutes, and even a deity couldn't save it!"

"Go!"

The last two words were roared out, and the Delivery Rider jolted, as if waking from a dream.

He scrambled to pick up the cardboard box on the ground, unable to even say a complete thank you, just shouting "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" over and over as he rushed into the pet hospital.

He was running too fast and bumped into someone who had just come out of the hospital.

The crowd automatically parted a path for him.

Everyone watched as the blue figure disappeared behind the hospital's glass door.

The plaza returned to silence, but the atmosphere was completely different.

If just now, watching the Wealthy Lady's case was just for excitement and novelty, then with this case, they saw awe.

Jiang the Half-Immortal didn't just know how to calculate Feng Shui, marriage prospects, or futures.

He also knew how to save lives.

【Ding! Valid divination count: 2/3】

The system's notification sound rang in his mind.

Jiang Feng looked in the direction where the Delivery Rider had disappeared, silent.

Old Chen didn't know when he had walked back, carrying several large shopping bags filled with pet treats.

He stood silently behind Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng took his sunglasses out of his pocket and put them back on.

He prepared to wait for Old Chen to tidy up the trunk before proceeding with his third business of the day.

Just at this moment.

A questioning voice rang out in front of him.

"Narcissus poisoning?"

Jiang Feng looked up.

A young man wearing the hospital's white uniform was standing in front of his car.

The man was twenty-five or twenty-six, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and the name tag on his chest read: 【Attending Physician: Wang Hao】.

He must have been the person the Delivery Rider had bumped into earlier.

He had heard everything that just happened.

Wang Hao pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, hands thrust into the pockets of his white lab coat, sizing Jiang Feng up and down.

"This 'expert'."

He emphasized the pronunciation of the two words "expert," his tone mocking.

"Your diagnosis just now sounded very professional."

"I just don't know, which school did you graduate from?"

"Do you have a nationally certified veterinarian license?"
