The next day.
At the crack of dawn, Han Yu left the inn. He already had three pills in his pocket. More pills, more anxiety about timing, so he decided to set out early to bring warmth to the folks of Mo Yun City.
The Extreme Vision Pill was the easiest to give away—find a blind person or an elderly one, and he could do some good deeds.
The Inverted Dragon and Phoenix Pill was difficult to judge; its effects were more vicious than just killing someone.
Then, there was the new concoction that Ping had coughed up last night...
Love Token Pill: Once ingested, the consumer will fall unconditionally in love with the first person they see. Please confirm the genders carefully before use. Side effect: The two will always remain within a ten-meter radius of each other.
Every time Han Yu looked at this, his face darkened, as Ping had once again played its hidden peril trick.
This pill looked unassuming, but was challenging to give away. It took effect the instant someone saw another, and you couldn't even run away from it.
How about blindfolding the other person before administering it?
The side effect was perilous too. He didn't believe the ten-meter restriction was just a figure of speech; it could manifest in various absurd ways keeping two people permanently within ten meters.
"Give it to an enemy,"
Little Artifact Spirit suggested gleefully at that moment.
Han Yu's expression changed, imagining two people who were fighting moments ago suddenly becoming deeply affectionate towards each other, especially of the same gender, unable to escape due to the side effect...
This damn vivid scene just wouldn't leave his mind.
Glass laughed heartily, thoroughly entertained. With Ping producing a useless pill, its advantage returned, plus it got to watch Han Yu suffer. If it weren't incorporeal, it might have started rolling around in Han Yu's mind.
"It's a pity Bai Junya isn't around. Otherwise, you could have given her this pill and benefited greatly."
After laughing comfortably, Little Artifact Spirit continued teasing.
"You devious little rascal, don't even think about tricking me."
Han Yu saw through the Artifact Spirit's intentions at a glance and sneered coldly.
The Little Artifact Spirit pretended to sound innocent, "What do you mean? It's just a love potion, isn't it?"
"You're still not convinced? Watch this."
Han Yu casually grabbed a burly man on the street and politely asked, "Big brother, if I have a pill that can instantly make someone like you, do you want it?"
The big guy nodded quickly, extending his hand, "Yes, yes, give it to me. I've had my eyes on the widow next door for a while."
Seeing this, Han Yu smiled and added, "But the side effect is that you two will never be able to leave each other's sides, always within ten meters."
The burly man's extended hand retracted as if he'd touched something hot, muttering, "I guess I don't really like the widow next door that much after all."
He then hurriedly walked away.
"What's the use of finding a single man? Try a married couple."
The Little Artifact Spirit wasn't quite satisfied.
At this moment, a young couple walked towards them. The man was handsome, likely not much older than Han Yu, while the young woman looked much younger, with a freshness suggesting they hadn't been married long.
Han Yu courteously stopped the man and the woman, expressed his intention, and then said, "You two make a perfect couple. I have a pill that can make you love each other even more for a lifetime, never parting. It's a gift; do you want it?"
The newlyweds were deep in love, and the man immediately responded, "Of course, I want to be with my wife forever, never apart."
The young woman blushed, playfully hitting the man's chest, her eyes filled with affection.
Could this really work?
So Han Yu quickly took out the pill, smiling as he explained, "Being together forever is for the next life; I can't guarantee that. But this pill will make it so you two can only live within ten meters of each other in this life, never apart."
Han Yu maintained a smile, but his expression started to stiffen as the man suddenly fell into a long silence, as if frozen.
Suddenly, the man shuddered, as though recalling something, and started pulling his wife's hand, ready to leave, saying, "Wife, I think the hairpin in the jewelry store we just passed suits you; let's go buy it."
The young woman, still staring at the pill in Han Yu's hand, was reminded as she was pulled away, "Husband, we haven't taken the pill yet. Let's do that first."
The man's expression became increasingly complex as he dodged the topic, forcing a smile, "Wife, I think we might have left the house unlocked; let's go home first."
"Let's take the pill and then go back."
The young woman nodded but remained insistent about the pill.
The man's face was growing more awkward, his words increasingly far-fetched, "I've been having an upset stomach lately, I can't just take pills."
"Let's take the pill first; then I'll go with you to see a doctor."
The young woman was gradually becoming more assertive, her fresh face showing hints of fierce determination.
"We left in a hurry this morning, haven't even eaten breakfast!"
"Take the pill, and I'll make you breakfast when we get back."
The young woman was increasingly transforming into a tigress. After a moment of stalemate, the man, almost in tears, said, "I won't take it."
"Now you understand, right? This side effect could devastate most men."
Han Yu thought to himself, feeling guilty as he slipped out of the crowd that had gathered to watch, because the once-affectionate couple had now started a street brawl.
Calling it a brawl wasn't quite right; it was more like the young woman, grabbing various things from the street, hurling them at her husband.
