Seeing Cheng Ruize hesitant, Fang Hou quickly reminded him, "Manager Zhuang said that because this pill is very bitter, it is coated with maltose on the outside for easier consumption. Nevertheless, Manager Zhuang emphasized that it must be swallowed whole and not bitten into by being tempted by its sweetness, otherwise it would lose its medicinal properties."
"Okay." Cheng Ruize dismissed his earlier idea to chew the pill, picked it up, placed it in his mouth and swallowed it down with warm water.
After swallowing the pill, there seemed to be a lingering sweetness in his throat.
By the time he swallowed the second pill, the sweet sensation was even stronger.
Cheng Ruize couldn't help but lick his lips.
Unfortunately, there was no sweetness on his lips. Instead, there was the bitterness from the herbal tonics he had been drinking these past few days.
This caused Cheng Ruize to furrow his brows.
