"Yes, but the poison he has is too powerful and it wasn’t detoxified immediately. Thus, even after taking the antidote, he requires three to five years to fully recover his sexual prowess!"
The Old Turtle didn’t agree with the man taking the antidote. Although it was an extraordinary creature, it had heard about the importance men in the world placed on this issue. Wouldn’t they feel stifled if they couldn’t engage in such activities for a few years?
Unexpectedly, Cai Wei made the decision for him.
"Three to five years? Alright, consider it a period for him to discipline and nurture his essence. Alas, I don’t know how many wives he has, but I hope his wives and concubines won’t blame me!"
Cai Wei reached into her bosom, actually reaching into Space, took out the Old Turtle’s bottle of antidote, and handed it over.
"Young Master Huo, this, this you should eat first. It can alleviate your pain."
Huo Yuan lifted his purple-red face, breathed heavily, grabbed the bottle, poured out the pills inside, and swallowed them into his stomach without hesitation.
Cai Wei tugged at the corner of her mouth, how uncomfortable it must’ve been. Without even asking a question, he just snatched the medicine and ate it, he wasn’t afraid of being poisoned.
Having swallowed the brown pills into his stomach, Huo Yuan leaned against the corner, sat down, and waited for the pill to take effect. He trusted Cai Wei’s medicine. Moreover, he trusted Cai Wei’s character even more.
Even though he had only met her a few times and she was still just a child, he was deeply attracted to her from the moment he saw her. It was not because she was unbelievably beautiful. He was surrounded by beautiful women in Gentle Richness Village, and beauty was not a distraction to him. Neither was it her cleverness or daring spirit that attracted him. He did not know why, but he was irresistibly attracted to her.
He liked to converse with her. Her logic was clear, her views unique, her expressions fresh and natural, always accompanied by a faint smile. That smile, like the first breeze of spring, stirred ripples in his heart; he enjoyed watching her expressive face, regardless of her joy or anger, all distinctly adorable and deeply imprinted in his mind and heart, making him, who had never given much thought to love, experience what it means to fall in love at first sight, to yearn for someone day and night...
The Old Turtle’s medicine was highly effective. In no time, the heat on Huo Yuan’s body faded, replaced by a chilling cold that made his face ashen and his lips pale as he sat there shivering.
Observing his transformation, Cai Wei asked softly, "How are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable?"
Huo Yuan managed a weak grin, "I’m... fine..."
Although he said he was fine, his pallid face and chattering teeth betrayed him.
Cai Wei, discerning his distress, realized he was very cold. She took the brocade quilt that covered her and wrapped it around him.
The quilt, still warm from her body heat and carrying a faint fragrance, was draped over him. Huo Yuan looked up at her, managing a weak smile, "Thank you ..."
Having said that, he leaned sideways and fainted.
Cai raced to support him to prevent him from falling. Only when she touched him did she realize that his body was as cold as ice.
"Great Immortal Turtle, what’s happening? Why is his body so cold?"
"This is the antidote taking effect. He’ll be fine in two or three hours."
"Two or three hours?"
