As Qu Feiyan headed to the kitchen to begin preparing lunch, Chu Qinghe handed the glass of water containing the antidote to Dongfang Bubai.
Faced with the cup handed to him by Chu Qinghe, Dongfang Bubai drank it down without even looking at it.
After placing the water glass on the table, Dongfang Bubai glanced at the room where Yaoyue was, then asked softly, "How long will it take for that woman to wake up?"
After estimating the time, Chu Qinghe said, "It should take about an incense stick's time!"
Dongfang Bubai: "One incense stick's time? That's alright, it won't affect my lunch."
Then, Dongfang Bubai turned his gaze to Chu Qinghe and slowly said, "However, your new poison is quite cleverly administered, just in time for this woman to sneak in."
Chu Qinghe also found the matter somewhat amusing.
"I can only say it was luck!"
Beside him, seeing Chu Qinghe's calm and composed demeanor, Dongfang Bubai suddenly became interested.
Then, with a smile, he asked, "However, seeing such a beautiful woman like Yaoyue faint, don't you think it's a pity that you just rescued her like that?"
Upon hearing Dongfang Bubai's question, Chu Qinghe knew perfectly well what Dongfang Bubai meant.
She immediately rolled her eyes and said, "Don't be ridiculous, do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Chu Qinghe is not one of those young people who have never experienced love between men and women.
Although his hobbies remain the same, he doesn't lose his mind when he sees a beautiful woman.
Chu Qinghe knew exactly what kind of woman he could mess with and what kind of woman he shouldn't mess with.
Moreover, Chu Qinghe prefers a two-way street when it comes to certain things.
If only one person is putting in the effort, it must be incredibly tiring.
He glanced at Dongfang Bubai beside him.
Seeing the curve of Dongfang Bubai's lips, Chu Qinghe knew perfectly well that Dongfang Bubai was clearly indulging in a wicked mood.
Before Dongfang Bubai could speak, Chu Qinghe said, "Instead of teasing me, you should be thinking about how to deal with that Palace Master Yaoyue inside! If she can track you down to your home, she won't be so easy to handle."
Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly.
But a moment later, he replied calmly, "Don't worry!"
Seeing that Dongfang Bubai was still so confident, Chu Qinghe smiled lightly, his expression as lazy as ever.
Anyway, since the people were brought here by Dongfang Bubai, as long as Dongfang Bubai can handle it, that's fine.
Why should someone as weak as me worry about anything?
After an incense stick has burned.
Just as the aroma of food began to waft through Chu Qinghe's courtyard, Yaoyue, lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes after her eyelashes fluttered slightly.
After a moment of confusion, Yaoyue regained her senses and sat up straight, her true energy instantly filling her entire body.
However, just as Yaoyue sat up, a sharp pain shot through her body, causing her to furrow her brows instantly.
When she turned her gaze away from the empty room and checked herself over, Yaoyue's expression softened slightly.
A moment later, Yaoyue narrowed her eyes slightly.
"I was careless this time. I didn't expect that there would be such a young master of poison in such a small place. The poison he used was so strong that even my Mingyu Gong true qi could not resist it."
With that thought in mind, Yaoyue once again mobilized the true energy within her body to examine the situation.
After confirming that there were no remaining toxins in her body, Yaoyue circulated her true energy through her body for nine major cycles.
Under the nourishment of this true energy, the pain permeating Yaoyue's body had largely dissipated, and its impact on her strength had become negligible.
Only then did Yaoyue get up from the bed and walk towards the door.
"Squeak~"
As the door opened, the moment Yaoyue stepped out, her gaze immediately turned to the courtyard.
Just then, Chu Qinghe heard the door open and his gaze turned to the door.
When Chu Qinghe saw Yaoyue slowly stepping out of the room with one hand behind her back, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Previously, Yaoyue had been poisoned, so she had already fainted when she fell to the ground.
Even so, her beautiful face was captivating.
Now, in Chu Qinghe's view, Yaoyue's stunningly beautiful, aloof face, paired with her clear, watery eyes, gave her beauty an even more subtle change.
The feeling was as if a fairy who should have been in the Moon Palace in the heavens had fallen into the mortal world, with a sense of ethereal and aloof otherworldly grace about her.
Chu Qinghe couldn't help but click his tongue twice in admiration, and a hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes.
At the same time, Yaoyue, who was standing at the door, also noticed Chu Qinghe sitting by the stone table.
Looking at Chu Qinghe, dressed in white as snow, with one hand supporting half of his face and exuding a languid air, Yaoyue couldn't help but let her beautiful eyes flicker slightly.
As their eyes met, Yaoyue felt no displeasure at Chu Qinghe's gaze upon her.
However, just as Yaoyue was also admiring the man's good looks in the courtyard, a figure slowly emerged from behind the huge camellia tree in her line of sight.
Wearing a fiery red robe and a golden crown that bound his hair, who else could it be but Dongfang Bubai?
When Dongfang Bubai walked out, Yaoyue, whose gaze had been focused on Chu Qinghe, clearly noticed the bright red color and shifted her gaze slightly to the side.
The moment Dongfang Bubai's figure came into view, Yaoyue's expression suddenly froze.
But the next moment, Yaoyue's face darkened as she came to her senses.
Why are you here?
The cold, surprised voice made Dongfang Bubai, who had been standing with his mouth open, pause slightly.
Clearly, they hadn't expected Yaoyue to ask such a question.
But the next second, as his thoughts raced, Dongfang Bubai suddenly glanced at Chu Qinghe beside him.
When his gaze fell upon Chu Qinghe's incomparably handsome face, a thought suddenly surfaced in Dongfang Bubai's mind.
As this thought echoed in his mind, Dongfang Bubai raised his chin slightly.
The moment Dongfang Bubai saw Yaoyue, he noticed the way she looked at Chu Qinghe.
Almost the instant he took in the expression on Yaoyue's face as she looked at Chu Qinghe, Dongfang Bubai realized that he had made a mistake.
That is, the woman in his line of sight was not coming for him, but for Chu Qinghe.
Or rather, that woman was lured by Chu Qinghe's good looks.
In other words, Yaoyue on the other side didn't just want to steal the base; she wanted to steal the player.
As his thoughts drifted to this point, Dongfang Bubai's expression visibly darkened.
His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold glint within them.
