"Panacea?" Chen Ze was a bit puzzled; the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.
"Yes, panacea. And not the kind whose efficacy wanes due to being copied—this one is a perfect panacea," spoke Shiratori Nozomi as she exhaled a ring of smoke, then looked pained as she glanced at the panacea on the table.
For Shiratori Nozomi, even with her status, obtaining such an item was no easy feat. It had cost her a great deal to acquire it.
"You say it's a panacea, but what good is it?" Chen Ze picked up the red pill. It wasn't heavy, and it didn't look particularly magical.
Shiratori Nozomi stood and approached Chen Ze with a light chuckle, but he immediately stepped backward, dodging the smoke ring she was about to blow out.
"This, you see, is a panacea—it can cure any disease. Even if you contracted AIDS, just take this pill, and you'd be healed within two hours," Shiratori Nozomi said as she sat back down and picked up the Starry Sky Cake.
