In the 22nd century, biogenetic technology advanced rapidly, and with it came drugs capable of remodeling the human brain.
This kind of drug, after its emergence, was not used on a large scale, because for most people, the toxic effects of the drug were too great, leading to direct death.
Only a very few chosen individuals could survive under the influence of the drugs.
Those few who lived had their brains altered, gaining special abilities or an even more robust physique; Feng Bailing was among the best of them, she was the only one in that group of test subjects to acquire the seventh sense.
Yet even though Feng Bailing succeeded, she vividly remembered that out of the 100 people who underwent brain modification, only 7 survived, including 20 children—all of whom, without exception, died.
The capsule was highly toxic to children, and it was exactly this kind that Lady Dugu fed to Dugu Wu.
How could a mother be so cruel as to poison her own child?
Fortunately, Dugu Wu was still alive.
Feng Bailing had never felt as relieved as she did today.
"Bailing, you scared me to death."
Ouyang Chenchen shouted loudly, snatching her best friend from Dugu Wu's arms and looking her up and down.
The director also rushed over upon hearing this.
"What happened?" The director was also shocked to see Feng Bailing's condition.
"Feng Bailing just looked at many paintings inside, and when she saw Prince Wu's painting, she suddenly behaved abnormally. I had reminded her before."
Mo Qianqian added fuel to the fire.
Seeing Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu embracing each other, Mo Qianqian was green with envy.
"I was too greedy, sorry. That painting..."
At this point, Feng Bailing had recovered her senses and apologized to the director.
"Oh, what's a painting anyway? If it's ruined, then it's ruined. If Dugu Wu is willing, he can easily produce ten or eight of them."
The director said, his face full of expectation looking at Dugu Wu.
Dugu Wu had not painted for many years, but to obtain one of his paintings would be truly worthwhile.
"I will paint no more." Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI[F]ire.net
Dugu Wu said, looking at Feng Bailing.
Feng Bailing hurriedly picked up his cane, and supported Dugu Wu; the couple slowly walked away.
"Man, why do I feel like I'm eating dog food?"
Feng Bailing was half-envious and half-emotional, watching the distant figures of Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu.
Mo Qianqian bit her lip as Princess Anyang said in annoyance.
"Seventh Prince, I'm hurt, and you're not even escorting me back."
Dongfang Li didn't even glance at Princess Anyang, leaving in a daze.
"Unbelievable! His eyes see only that Feng Bailing. What's so good about Feng Bailing? Prince Wu only has eyes for her, and Seventh Prince sees only her, too."
Princess Anyang was fuming with anger.
"Anyang, don't be angry, we'll find a way to deal with her sooner or later."
Mo Qianqian envied Feng Bailing and was jealous of her, but she knew revenge is a dish best served cold; during the Competition Among Ten Countries, she must deal with Feng Bailing unnoticed.
Dongfang Li, having witnessed the loving display between Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu, was deeply upset.
He found Dongfang Mosheng and dragged him to get thoroughly drunk at the Qian Residence.
"Bailing, why, why are you completely different from before? You don't even glance at me."
Dongfang Li babbled incoherently, and through his drunken haze, he seemed to see a woman approaching him.
The woman's face overlapped with Feng Bailing's, and he embraced her, and the two rolled together.
