Lu Zhao looked at the angry girl in front of him with a bewilderment, and explained innocently, "Miss Gu, you came over and hugged me in the middle of the night. I couldn't push you away, so I had no choice but to let you hug me to sleep. I absolutely did nothing to you."

He gestured for Gu Chaoxi to look at his hands, which were obediently hanging at his sides.

Gu Chaoxi pushed Lu Zhao away and got out of bed to wash up.

Around noon, Wu Tiancheng brought over a large bowl of chicken soup and served one bowl to each of them. "Miss Gu, I heard from Brother Gu that you are leaving today. I have stewed another chicken for you. You should eat your fill before you set off on your journey."

"I even went up the mountain to pick some mushrooms to put in the chicken soup and stew it together. It's so fragrant."

After speaking, he looked at Gu Chaoxi expectantly.

"Host, there's a sleeping potion in this soup. He wants to drug you and Lu Zhao so he can take advantage of you," the system warned after a long silence.

Gu Chaoxi paused, nodded to thank Wu Tiancheng, and took a spoonful.

Wu Tiancheng laughed and said, "You guys drink first, I'll clean up later."

Lu Zhao sat down, lifting his robe. He saw that Gu Chaoxi only took a spoonful of water and then stopped eating. He assumed that she was not used to the food here, since she hadn't eaten much these past two days. He coaxed her, "My subordinates will find us today. The food here is not as good as outside, so please bear with it for now. I'll take you to eat something good when we get to town."

He picked up the bowl and handed it to her, but Gu Chaoxi shook her head and refused, "This chicken soup tastes weird, I won't drink it."

Lu Zhao frowned, leaned closer to smell it, and the next moment, he suddenly slammed the bowl in his hand to the ground.

"He actually dared to drug me!"
