Curing Chu Shijian

Wang Xiuying handed the antidote to Chu Liuxiang and said, "I'll give you the honor."

"Thank you…"

After accepting the antidote, Chu Liuxiang opened the seal and poured the pill into her grasp before offering it to Chu Shijian.

The pill was only the size of a fingernail but exuded an intense bitter smell.

"It's going to be very bitter." Wang Xiuying warned as Chu Shijian accepted the pill.

Without hesitation, Chu Shijian tossed the pill into his mouth and swallowed it with water.

The pill quickly dissolved, and Chu Shijian's face immediately twisted with disgust. It had the worst taste he'd ever experienced—both intensely strong and long-lasting.

"Fuck! Is this what drinking moldy milk would be like?!" Chu Shijian nearly puked but managed to keep it inside.

He looked at Wang Xiuying with teary eyes and a runny nose, and he couldn't help but wonder if she had actually poisoned him instead of curing him.
