Two full hours passed, and Ye Jiusheng collapsed on the ground, his clothes soaked with sweat, and his body emitting an indescribable stench.
Mingyue pushed open the door, then closed it again, touched her hand, and added a small tip to the inn. "Thank you for your help."
The hotel owner smiled, his eyes crinkling, "No trouble at all!"
The enthusiastic man brought the hot water he had prepared to Ye Jiusheng's door. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled a foul odor. The boss frowned, but thinking of the high tip, he smiled.
He rolled up his sleeves and helped the dirty Ye Jiusheng to his feet. "Young Master Ye, hot water has been prepared for you. Would you like to wash up?"
Thank you.
Ye Jiusheng was weak and listless, his lips pressed together until they turned white.
The owner thoughtfully poured water into a wooden bucket, added cold water, and made sure the water temperature was right before leaving.
Ye Jiusheng, his hands trembling, scooped up a ladle of water and poured it over his body, feeling completely comfortable as he soaked in it.
In no time, the water turned pitch black. Ye Jiusheng casually rubbed it a couple of times, stood up, and the door was opened precisely on time.
"Miss Ming outside instructed me to come and change your water."
Ye Jiusheng nodded and stood barefoot to the side, watching as the shopkeeper left with the bucket of water, then brought in a clean one, reheated it, and closed the door before leaving.
Having already washed once, Ye Jiusheng didn't immediately turn the water black while soaking in the tub. He leaned against the edge of the tub, comfortably squinting his eyes.
Next door, Su Yiren returned and learned about Mingyue opening Ye Jiusheng's meridians. "Benefactor, why did you want to open Ye Jiusheng's meridians?"
Actually, she wanted to ask her benefactor to open Ye Jiusheng's meridians again in the future if she had something good as collateral.
"Just a quick thing." Mingyue squinted. "Did you find out any information?"
Speaking of this, Su Yiren immediately lost her spirits, "No, everyone says there's no way such a medicine exists."
Mingyue, "How did you ask that?"
"I was wondering if there was any poison that could damage a person's meridians and shatter their dantian."
Mingyue: "..."
Su Yiren looked innocent. "When those people heard that, they all moved far away from me. I didn't ask the wrong question."
Mingyue was speechless. "Who would be so kind as to pry into my affairs like this?" she said. "Just focus on your cultivation. Thinking about other things is pointless for you."
"But I'm not convinced! I don't even know who poisoned me!"
"I know you're not convinced, but don't be.
Su Yiren: ...
"By the way, where did Ning Mu go?"
Didn't we say we'd go together?
Mingyue listlessly twirled her teacup, replying lazily, "Arrested?"
Su Yiren was startled, "Take them away?"
Mingyue nodded matter-of-factly, "I watched with my own eyes as Shen Su took her away."
"Shen Su kidnapped him?" Su Yiren was completely confused. "They were in an arranged marriage, why would they kidnap each other?"
"I don't know about that."
Seeing this, Su Yiren didn't ask any further questions and turned her head to put the matter out of her mind.
Meanwhile, Ning Mu never expected that Shen Su would actually turn evil!
If it weren't for Mingyue, she would still enjoy the thrill of this imprisonment game. However, the system in her mind kept urging her, which made Ning Mu resent Shen Su for the first time.
"Do you think I don't want to go out? He drugged me, I have no strength at all!"
The system's voice was cold and devoid of any warmth: [This is something the host should handle.]
This is so annoying! I'm stuck with such a useless host who can't even handle this kind of thing.
Otherwise, he would have seized the host's soul right now, absorbed Shen Su's luck, and re-bound himself to a new host.
