She leaped to the window in a flash, then suddenly turned around, her figure appearing even more graceful and alluring in the moonlight: "By the way, what was that skill you were using just now? Why did you suddenly become so strong?"
Zuan also looked bewildered: "I don't know, maybe it was a life-or-death crisis that triggered his potential."
"Fine, don't tell me then, you're so stingy." Pei Mianman snorted, her beautiful figure disappearing into the night sky.
Zuan gave a wry smile. He really didn't know, but he didn't have time to think about it. Worried that someone would notice something was wrong, he hurriedly ran back to his room.
Then he took out a bottle of pills and swallowed them directly.
Having learned his lesson last time, he didn't want to repeat the same mistake. He knew that the "Rich Woman's Pleasure Ball" had a time limit; once the effect wore off, all the pain and weakness would return, which would be truly deadly.
This bottle of medicine wasn't the "Brother Xin Chun" red bottle I got from the keyboard; it was a healing medicine that Ji Dengtu had given me before. When he heard me say I was going to Jackal Valley, he threw this medicine at me.
"That guy wouldn't deliberately set me up, would he?" Zu An was also a little worried, but he quickly thought that since the other party was a divine doctor, he shouldn't be trying to mess with him over this matter. Besides, with a pure and kind daughter like Ji Xiaoxi, even the worst father couldn't be that bad, right?
He was initially worried that he had inadvertently set a bad example, but as the pill went down, a warm sensation spread out, and he could feel the medicine repairing and nourishing his damaged body.
Zuan finally felt relieved. Ji Dengtu's medicine was indeed extraordinary. Although it couldn't instantly restore him to full health like the red bottle from Brother Xin Chun that he had drawn, its efficacy was not much different, only slightly slower.
As expected of a medicine concocted by a legendary physician!
At this time, the "Rich Woman's Happy Ball" was about to expire. Because Ji Dengtu's medicine was a slow recovery method, he began to feel pain all over his body.
"This thing is truly a divine artifact." Zuan, however, paid no attention to the pain at this moment. Instead, he looked at the "Rich Woman's Pleasure Ball" in his hand. If it weren't for it, he would probably have lost his life today.
I didn't realize how powerful the Wailing Whip was when I was hit before; I only experienced its pain immunity function. But today, I discovered that it's incredibly powerful when used properly.
If it weren't for this "Rich Woman's Happy Ball" today, he would have been dead for sure. This miraculous life-saving event made him feel like he had lost out when he thought about using it for a bet last time. Now there's only one last chance left, and who knows when he'll get this item again.
He suddenly remembered the prerequisite for this thing: it only works if a woman richer than him hits him. He had to be thankful that Yu Yanluo had been away these days, otherwise if he really got a thousand taels of gold from her, there would probably be far fewer women in the world richer than him. If a fight broke out, who knew how much money the other party had? He could easily lose his life.
It seems best not to go after that thousand taels of gold for now.
Zuan had an idea, but he was also very reluctant to give it up. Was he really destined to be poor for the rest of his life?
Anger from Qin Wanru +3 +3 +3...
Zu An was taken aback. Had he offended Madam Chu again? She seemed to be getting angry quite often. Could it be a hormonal imbalance, causing her to enter menopause prematurely?
Meanwhile, in the Duke's room, Chu Zhongtian poured his wife a cup of tea before asking, "I heard you punished Zu'an by making him copy the family precepts a hundred times? Isn't that a bit too much?"
Qin Wanru snorted: "That guy won't amount to anything without being taught a lesson. You have no idea what he did. Today he actually dared to skip school openly. No, according to the news from the academy, he didn't even enter the school gate! It's outrageous!"
Chu Zhongtian gasped: "This guy really went too far, but he's always been a bit insecure. He's already under a lot of pressure marrying into our family, and I've heard that many people in the family look down on him. If you punish him so harshly, won't he harbor resentment? Then the family will really be in turmoil from now on."
Qin Wanru gave her husband a resentful look: "It's all your fault. Otherwise, Chu Yan wouldn't have chosen such a good-for-nothing as her husband. As her mother, I can't do anything else for her, but at least I can discipline her husband and make Zu An more respectable. Even if he doesn't have the talent for cultivation, he can still study hard and learn some skills to govern the country, so that everyone won't laugh at our Chu Yan."
"Madam, from what you're saying, are you certain that Chu Yan will be with him for life?" Chu Zhongtian couldn't help but ask.
"Pah!" Qin Wanru curled her lip. "If you nod, I'll kick this guy out right now."
