Su Chen didn't know how she got out of that place. She was dizzy and confused. When she came to, she was already lying on the bed in the Mo residence.
She recalled the wheelchair the courtesan had just used, and the moment she saw it, a tragic story of nearly 200,000 words immediately formed in her mind.
Then, as if possessed, she took out some silver to redeem the person from servitude. If the person hadn't asked her that question, she would have given the money to them without even realizing it.
Seriously... why is her head so foggy today?
[Host, there's something in that wine.]
Su Chen's beautiful eyes widened. "Then why didn't you tell me just now?"
"I thought you knew, so I drank it to play along." The system pouted, looking aggrieved.
Su Chen took a breath, trying hard to control herself from getting angry.
What's in the wine?
It is a poison.
"Poison? You just watched them poison me?" Su Chen immediately lost her composure, slammed her hand on the bed and got up, even the dizziness in her head had lessened considerably.
It's not a deadly poison; it just makes you feel dizzy for a while after drinking it.
Besides, you're a cat demon; the kind of sleeping potion used on humans wouldn't have such a strong effect on you.
Su Chen's mood soured after hearing her explanation.
"Are all the people in this world crazy? They all love poisoning each other so much. Let's not call it Cangyuan anymore, let's call it the Poison Realm!" After saying that, he picked up the teapot on the table and took a few sips of tea. "I've been poisoned several times in just a few days?"
[Host, I promise I won't do this in the next world~ And if there's any danger, it definitely won't be something as underhanded as poisoning.]
"You already know where the next world is?" Su Chen asked suspiciously.
The system, with an air of nonchalance, said, "Anyway, the host definitely won't be able to taste poison anymore. You can enjoy the taste of poison to your heart's content in this world; who knows, you might even miss it later."
Su Chen scoffed. She wasn't a masochist; why would she possibly miss the taste of poison?
But after experiencing several more worlds, Su Chen discovered that poison could actually be quite endearing...
Su Chen slept all afternoon under the influence of the drug, and when she woke up, it was already past dinner time.
[Host, you're finally awake. The villainous boss came by earlier, but he only stood outside the door for a short while and didn't come over.]
Su Chen slept soundly and was in a great mood. She stretched and sat up.
"Oh, ignore him. Has my food been delivered yet?"
She couldn't guess what the villain was thinking, nor did she want to waste her energy trying. She only cared about whether her own stomach was being fed every day.
The system, its face darkening, replied: [The food box is by the door.]
Su Chen found the food box and eagerly began to wolf it down.
Halfway through her meal, having satisfied her hunger, she seemed to remember something, put down her chopsticks, and asked, "By the way, how's the relationship between the male and female leads? How far has it progressed?"
[Host, your plan for them to meet as soon as possible has failed. Uncle Wu did find a few people based on the portrait, and all of them had seen the male lead, but none of them could wake him up.]
"Hmm."
[Host, you're truly amazing. None of these people are the female lead. Did you place some kind of restriction on the female lead whenever you saw her, so that she could wake up the male lead as soon as she saw him?] For the first time, the system realized that its host was incredibly capable and had kept it so well hidden. How come it had never noticed before?
"You're overthinking it. I'm not a fortune teller who can predict the male lead's coma just by seeing the female lead."
