Huang Fu's expression grew serious as he spoke, capturing Gu Chaoyan's attention. She shifted her gaze from the Fire Lotus flower to Huang Fu, awaiting his explanation.
Internally, Gu Chaoyan felt a sense of relief knowing that she had obtained the Fire Lotus flower. In seven days, once the detoxification process was complete, she would no longer be plagued by the poison. Being free from its grip would grant her greater freedom and release her from the control of others. The events of the day had left Gu Chaoyan dissatisfied, as she detested the feeling of helplessness that had consumed her.
However, Huang Fu's demeanor indicated that there was something even more significant than cold detoxification, leaving Gu Chaoyan both perplexed and anxious.
Unconsciously, she clenched her fists, maintaining a steady gaze on Huang Fu.
Hesitantly, Huang Fu moved his lips as if struggling to find the right words. Nonetheless, he pressed on. "When those old thieves drugged you, they never anticipated that you would possess the ability to withstand the poison derived from your mother's body. Therefore, before the Fire Lotus flower can fully detoxify you, they administered an additional substance known as Happiness Drug—a case of countering poison with poison."
"…."
"As the cold poison is eliminated, the Happiness Drug will remain in your body. You will need to harmonize your body and soul to achieve detoxification," Huang Fu explained further.
"…."
"I inform you now so that you may prepare yourself," Huang Fu concluded, his voice filled with concern.
"…."
"Furthermore, in seven days' time, the Happiness Drug will start to take effect," Huang Fu added.
Huang Fu found himself in a state of mixed emotions.
Feng Le…
Dealing with the effects of the Happiness Drug would prove to be a challenging task for her.
Zhou Huaijin was the man she had feelings for, and perhaps he wasn't intentionally causing her distress.
All Huang Fu could do was offer a reminder.
However, strangely enough…
He didn't feel overly saddened by the situation.
He couldn't quite pinpoint the reason for this peculiar sensation.
Upon hearing the news, Gu Chaoyan's face displayed a range of complicated emotions. The existence of the Happiness Drug had slipped her mind entirely.
That day…
On their wedding night, she had been in a daze, yet fragments of memories remained.
A blush crept up Gu Chaoyan's cheeks.
Huang Fu said nothing further.
At that moment…
The noise grew louder.
Huang Fu and Gu Chaoyan both raised their heads, following the source of the growing sound. They witnessed the arrival of a man who had been thrown in, the wicked Elder Man. His face was covered in bruises, and he appeared hopeless, devoid of any means to escape.
Elder Man had not anticipated that Gao Xiu, this old man, would possess such superior skills. He was utterly defenseless against him.
What other options did he have?
"I will reciprocate the favor. Your fate will be worse than my mother's, but I will abide by the rules," Gu Chaoyan declared, devoid of any visible emotions.
With these words spoken…
She instructed Gao Xiu to administer the cold drug directly to Elder Man.
Yet, Gu Chaoyan couldn't even bring herself to look at him.
Elder Man attempted to resist but was powerless against Gao Xiu's strength.
Thus, the cold drug was implanted within him.
Once the deed was done…
Longqing stepped forward. "Elder Gao Xiu, I implore you to punish me."
Longqing served as the chief guard of the Snow Territory. Regardless of the mistakes he had made in his dealings with the City Lord or any harm he may have caused Phoenix Girl, he believed that he deserved punishment within the confines of the Snow Territory.
He directed a direct apology to Gao Xiu.
