Chapter 39: Chapter 39: The Phoenix Prodigy Who Learns Instantly Chapter 39: Chapter 39: The Phoenix Prodigy Who Learns Instantly In the room, Feng Bailing opened the first-aid kit and, sure enough, there were five more bottles of anti-wolf spray in the top layer, enough for her to use for self-defense on a daily basis.
Even a martial artist would lose half their life if they were sprayed with chili water in their eyes.
“He’s married three Princess Consorts, and his child is all grown up, yet he still has that coffin-like stern face when he touches a hand; those three Princess Consorts must have been scared to death.”
Feng Bailing was flipping through the Poison Scripture, muttering complaints in her heart as she recalled Dugu Wu’s earlier reaction.
To obtain the Emperor’s aura emanating from Dugu Wu, Feng Bailing had gone to great lengths and studied it carefully.
By obtaining an article of clothing close to Dugu Wu’s body, one could acquire a small amount; physical contact would yield a moderate amount; and skin-to-skin intimacy could garner a large amount at once.
Different from the 22nd century, gaining access to medicines in the first-aid kit was not at will; the stronger her seventh sense, the greater the variety and quantity of materials Feng Bailing could obtain.
Opening the kit did not consume the seventh sense, but to unlock new medicines and eventually open the third layer of the first-aid kit, it would require a substantial one-time expenditure of the seventh sense.
Just for that reason alone, she had to “get close” to Dugu Wu more often.
In the courtyard, Dugu Wu stood with a somber face, not uttering a word.
Feng Wan mustered his courage.
“My lord, are you thinking of recommending the Princess Consort for Yuxiu Academy?”
There was another method to enter Yuxiu Academy—the teachers there had the privilege to sponsor one student.
Dugu Wu’s accomplishments in the six arts far surpassed Nalan Yan’er’s, and at the age of eighteen, he was exceptionally appointed as a teacher at Yuxiu Academy. It was because of the precedent he set that Yuxiu Academy began to recruit other male teachers, including the Ninth Prince.
Dugu Wu was reclusive and proud by nature; the fact that he served as a male teacher at Yuxiu Academy was only known within Prince Shun’s Mansion and the academy itself.
“Half a month’s salary.”
Dugu Wu’s expression grew even more sour.
Feng Wan’s face fell, wondering what he had said wrong again. If this continued, he was going to have to ask his brother to borrow money.
“Feng Wan, are you stupid or what? Are you still calling her Feng Sanwu Princess Consort? Which of the previous ones ever let you change the address? Your Princess Consort has always been that one person from the beginning to the end.”
Lu Yin sneezed and rubbed his eyes.
Thinking of Feng Bailing’s audacity, he was even more dissatisfied with her.
Forget three quarters of an hour; give her three years, or thirty years, Feng Sanwu would still be Feng Sanwu.
This kid Dugu Wu, so deeply in love, once he set his mind on someone, not even eight horses could drag him back. How could he fall for Feng Sanwu?
Dugu Wu’s lips tightened, and suddenly he said.
“Xiaojin is very fond of her.”
Lu Yin was stunned. Dugu Xiaojin actually liked women?
“The three quarters of the hour are up, I’m going to slap Feng Sanwu’s face.”
Lu Yin suddenly smirked.
“Don’t speak in riddles. I’ve drugged that Poison Scripture. She’ll never anticipate it.”
He was Lu Yin from Poison Dragon Villa after all, and Feng Sanwu had tarnished his reputation. Naturally, he wouldn’t just let it go.
At this moment, she must already be foaming at the mouth, convulsing all over.
Lu Yin entered the room with delight.
Suddenly, Lu Yin’s face changed, and with a thud, he fell to the ground, mouth foaming, body convulsing.
It had been poisoned with the same exact poison he had applied to the book—the unique poison from Poison Dragon Villa, which Feng Bailing, within a span of three quarters of an hour, had managed to concoct an exact duplicate!
Feng Bailing leaned against the doorway, her smile beaming.
“Dr. Lu, do you still want me to recite over three hundred poisons?”
“I’ll teach… I’ll teach, isn’t that good enough?”
Lu Yin felt like crying but had no tears.
