After the discussion, Fang Yu went to the restaurant for lunch.

From start to finish, Ye Wenjun and Shangguan Linghui ignored him completely. This was a bit awkward.

Once lunch ended,

Ye Wenjun took Shangguan Linghui with her, saying, "Let's go, let's practice swordplay together."

Both were as excited as little rabbits, taking the Water Cold Sword and heading back to the backyard.

Chen Daotian and Xu Huawen covered their mouths, giggling secretly but not daring to speak.

Fang Yu coughed, gave the two a glare, and then went upstairs, saying as he stepped onto the staircase, "Bring the herbs from the storage room."

"Yes."

A servant went to the storage room and brought the herbs upstairs.

Since finding the second memory fragment in the Cold Pond Forbidden Land, Fang Yu's mind was filled with more knowledge about herbs and alchemy, as well as experience and skills.

Previously at his peak, he could only concoct Eighth Grade elixir pills. Coming from the Northern Desert this time, he was confident in creating Ninth Grade, or even Yellow Rank Spirit Pills.

...

Back in his room, Fang Yu proficiently began concocting elixir pills.

The entire process took less than an hour, and he successfully produced several Poison Avoidance Pills.

Poison Avoidance Pills were Fourth Grade elixir pills, which for a Grandmaster Level Alchemist like Fang Yu, were very easy to make, with a one hundred percent success rate and no chance of failure.

After concocting the elixir pills, Fang Yu took the Poison Avoidance Pills and stepped out of his room.

"Son-in-law—"

"Holy smokes, you scared me. How have you not been fired yet?" Fang Yu glared and exclaimed.

Truly exasperating.

It felt like there was a maid causing issues every time.

He also blamed himself for being too comfortable in the Ye Family home, coming and going without paying much attention.

"Son-in-law, what's that in your hand? It smells so nice?" The maid eagerly gazed at the Poison Avoidance Pill in Fang Yu's hand.

"Go do your work. Enough with the questions."

Fang Yu shot her a glare and headed towards another guest room.

That room was where Xu Sisi was staying.

Knock, knock—

Fang Yu knocked on the door in a very gentlemanly and polite manner.

"Come in," came Xu Sisi's gentle voice.

Creak.

Fang Yu pushed the door open and entered.

Xu Sisi was sitting in her wheelchair, facing the balcony. She did not seem at all like someone distressed from being far from home, instead curiously examining every item in the room.

Upon seeing Fang Yu walk in,

Xu Sisi smiled, raised her hand pointing to the ceiling light, and said, "In our Xu Family, only the council hall has such lights, but they are seldom used. Our priest said that this thing needs something called 'electricity' to work, is that true?"

"Uh..."

Fang Yu scratched his head. The technology of modern society was indeed a novelty to someone who grew up in the Northern Desert.

Yet, for modern people, these were the most common things, not worth fussing over.

"And that square thing on the table, it's like a mirror... Mr. Fang, that thing is truly magical, it contains all sorts of bizarre people... You don't believe me? Let me show you."

Xu Sisi wheeled herself over to the television, picked up the remote control, and with a light press, the TV came on.

She held up the remote control in her hand, showing it off to Fang Yu.

"Mr. Fang, isn't it amazing?"

However...

Fang Yu still looked at her very calmly.

Xu Sisi knew who she was dealing with. Seeing that he wasn't surprised, she felt a hint of disappointment, her expression dimming as she turned her wheelchair to look at the setting sun out on the balcony, saying, "I almost forgot, Mr. Fang is originally a man of this bustling city, how could you not know about these things? Are you laughing at me inside, thinking I am naive?"

"I just think... living life like a clean slate as you do, is quite nice. Facing the sea, with spring blossoms," Fang Yu said softly.

"Mr. Fang is joking... In fact, Sisi also has a lot of frustrations, it's just that there's no one to talk to." Xu Sisi sighed.

"Miss Sisi, if you don't mind, you can talk to me about them." Fang Yu said with a smile.

Xu Sisi turned her beautiful eyes, her gaze landing on Fang Yu's sincere expression. After a moment, she finally spoke: "Thank you."

An answer off the mark.

But it didn't hinder their communication.

"Since you don't want to talk, let's focus on treating your condition."

Fang Yu handed over the Poison Avoidance Pill, "Take this first. Then I'll administer the acupuncture."

"What is this?"

"Poison Avoidance Pill, Fourth Grade Elixir Pills."

Xu Sisi was slightly surprised, "I didn't expect Mr. Fang to be an Alchemist... a Fourth Grade Alchemist, at least among Cultivators, wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing."

"It was just something to study for fun when I was bored, I didn't expect to actually master it." Fang Yu said nonchalantly.

"Mr. Fang is a genius, casually studying and reaching heights others can't."

"Let's not flatter me anymore... After you take the medicine, take off your clothes."

"Okay."

Xu Sisi pinched the Poison Avoidance Pill, examining it for a moment, seemingly feeling that the pill was not as bitter as she imagined, and swallowed it down.

Following that, she asked, "Just the top?"

"This..."

Fang Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, "The poison you're affected by is a special kind of Gu Poison. I need to force it all out. The Golden Needle has probed its depth, but to push it out completely, I'll need to pay close attention. So…"

Hearing this.

The intelligent Xu Sisi understood what Fang Yu meant.

"Can I not take it off?"

"It's possible not to, but if some toxins, when expelled, cling to the skin and I don't observe it in time, it could leave poison marks and scars for life."

Xu Sisi was taken aback.

For a woman, especially a beautiful woman, the prospect of unsightly scars on her skin is absolutely intolerable.

Struggling internally for a moment, Xu Sisi said, "Actually, I'm not too concerned... I'm just worried about Miss Ye..."

Fang Yu laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry... It's not as exaggerated as you think. A doctor harbors the benevolence of parents; if I had any dishonorable intentions, I would have—"

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Without finishing his sentence, Fang Yu changed his words, "Take it off. The medicine should be taking effect."

"Okay."

Xu Sisi indeed felt the medicine taking effect.

A burning heat flowed back and forth with her blood, making her feel unbearably hot.

The arrival of winter did nothing to diminish this blaze.

Seeing that she was about to undress, completely, Fang Yu consciously averted his eyes, turning to look out the window.

Xu Sisi removed her clothing, relying on her own strength to lie face down on the bed.

Just like last time… to avoid embarrassment, she chose to face the wall.

"Mr. Fang, I'm ready..."

Only then did Fang Yu turn his head, his gaze landing on her slender figure...

He dared not look further, afraid that stray thoughts would affect his concentration. Raising his hand, three Golden Needles appeared.

Swoosh.

Swoosh, swoosh.

The Golden Needles were inserted into different parts of Xu Sisi.

With a muffled grunt, black blood flowed out along the Golden Needles!

Fang Yu inwardly remarked, "It seems the poisoning is quite severe."
