Zong Yue remained quiet and went over to feel her pulse, only to be shunned by her.
"Quack… I think I… have been given… aphrodisiac…"
"Only beauties are targeted by aphrodisiac, so why you?"
Meng Fuyao laughed weakly, lacking in energy to bicker. "Is it treatable? If not… leave now… don't tell me about Yin and Yang… neutralizing… if it has to be that way… I'll… despise you… for life."
Zong Yue smiled. While he appeared gentle, he wasn't one to smile. Now that he did, it was as if the sun had sprinkled its rays from behind the clouds so compassionately and warmly.
"I don't actually mind that…" He added lightly, reaching forward to carry her, only to have her jolt and ready to struggle free. In response, he added, "We're at the back entrance of the King De Residence. You've been through so much already, so can't you persevere until we get in?"
"… you can deactivate my acupuncture point, but you choose to let me suffer…" she cursed lowly.
