Ji Tingwan listened in bewilderment, not understanding the deeper meaning behind Princess Shuwan's words.
“Aunt, you can’t say that. My mother meant well back then. She never imagined that gunpowder would…”
“Young Princess, the princess and I still have things to discuss.” Although a long time had passed, the night was still long. After a moment of contemplation, she suggested, “I just heard that Miss Tianning is quite interested in the elixir of immortality. Why don’t you go and take a look at the nearby villages and towns?”
Tianning had no objections.
Although she could imagine what the human world would be like under the persecution of the divine medicine, since she had already seen it on the big screen in her original world, Tianning decided to make room for the two of them, seeing that Shen Nianyi and Princess Shuwan seemed to have something important to say.
By the time we return, it will be almost dawn. We can then go to the capital to visit our senior brothers and sisters, as well as our close disciples, to discuss matters.
Based on what we know so far, they can temporarily align themselves with Shen Nianyi so that they can help her if they encounter members of the Seven Killings Sect.
After all... the current emperor sitting in the highest position in the capital city is very likely to have joined forces with the Seven Killings Sect.
This is not good news for ordinary people.
Before Ji Tingwan could react, Princess Shuwan kicked her out of the door. She was still struggling to process what had happened that night.
At first, she simply disguised herself as a man and went to a brothel out of curiosity, wanting to broaden her horizons.
But unexpectedly, she saw her second brother in a brothel, consuming some kind of magic potion!
That thing... everyone in the capital praises it, but from a young age, Ji Qianqiu strictly taught Ji Tingwan that she must never touch it!
As she grew older, Ji Tingwan gradually realized that the thing wasn't as good as people praised it to be, because her mother flew into a rage when she accidentally discovered her father taking the "miracle drug"!
But the elixir of immortality had long been the most popular item in the capital.
Ironically, the mother, who opposed her father, became an outcast at this time...
Ji Tingwan dared not tell her mother, fearing it would cause another argument between her parents. In truth, the Eastern Palace wasn't as loving as outsiders perceived; the Crown Prince only loved his Crown Princess and hadn't taken any concubines. But Ji Tingwan knew the truth was different…
Ji Tingwan's mind was in complete turmoil, and she let Tianning lead her to a nearby village.
Soon, after witnessing the villagers of Bai Village gathering together to inhale the "miracle drug" and experiencing hallucinations, some went mad, crawling on the ground like dogs after the Taotie pushed open the door, while others became neither human nor ghost. In the nearby houses, many people were gambling…
Although he had expected it, Tianning remained silent when he saw it.
Ji Tingwan couldn't hold it in and ran outside to vomit.
She had no idea these people would turn out this way. The reason she was so worried about her second brother was because her mother had said that prolonged exposure to elixirs of immortality might make it impossible to have children...
"Tianning..."
On the way back, Ji Tingwan's voice was blank and helpless: "What do you think... my country will become in the future?"
Tianning stopped and asked, "What do you want it to become?"
"What……"
“Miss Wan, you are only seventeen or sixteen years old this year. You have a future to create.”
Ji Tingwan didn't understand.
Tianning said, "Chen Nianyi and Princess Shuwan are already over forty years old. Miss Wan, even they haven't given up, so why can't you create the future you want?"
