Chapter 221: Fragrant and Soft Jade

Mu Houchu whispered, "I'm much better."

One hour after being affected by this medicine was when its effect would begin. If one could bear it, they would be alright, but if they couldn't bear it, the cost of its eruption in that hour would result in death.

Xin He's nearly crushed heart finally settled down as she exhaled deeply, her body collapsing in relief, "That's good then."

Mu Houchu gently touched her scared little face, which had turned pale. He then lifted her out of the medicine spring. Her soaked clothes didn't seem too bad while in the water but clung to her body once she got out.

Xin He was completely soaked, her mind focused on the poison in his body, not concerning herself with anything else. Now that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, she was drained and nestled in Mu Houchu's arms. Her face still trembled slightly from the shock, and her wet hair somewhat stuck to her cheeks, causing droplets of water to roll down her face.
