Chapter 185: Chapter 167, Secret_1

Xiao Yeyang looked woodenly at the medicine pill and bamboo tube in his hand, then raised his eyes to Daohua, who was gazing back at him with bright, spirited eyes, and after a moment of silence, he asked, “How long does the drug last?”

Daohua replied, “That depends on whether they can find a good doctor or not! Let me put it this way, without the antidote, they will feel an unbearable itch all over. But… if there’s a doctor with excellent medical skills nearby who can concoct the antidote, taking a bath might just stop the itching.”

Worried that Xiao Yeyang would not appreciate her pills and would instead go head-to-head and cause a conflict with those young masters, Daohua quickly added, “I think my medicine pills are quite powerful, a regular doctor definitely won’t be able to make the antidote so quickly.”

“At a conservative estimate, those people will have to suffer the itch for at least three to five days. How about using this to teach them a lesson and help you vent some anger?”

Xiao Yeyang glanced at the purse in Daohua’s hand, snatched it away, and then looked inside.

Good heavens, there were three more packets of Sleeping Powder and even seven or eight itch-inducing pills!

This person was planning to stealthily do away with others!

Dumbfounded, Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, “You’re even more prepared than I am.”

Daohua said, “I call it being prepared for danger in times of safety, better safe than sorry! So how about it, can we use this method? If we end up breaking arms and legs, causing bloodshed, things could blow up!”

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua and handed the bamboo tube and medicine pills to Defu, but he kept the purse for himself and tucked it into his bosom, “Go, try out the effects of the medicine.”

Upon hearing this, Defu’s spirits lifted, and he hastily took the items, feeling a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although he despised Ma Feiyu, who had killed his brother Degui, he didn’t want to create too big of a ruckus and alarm the people over in Beijing.

Lady Yan’s pills were perfect—they taught Ma Feiyu and his gang a lesson, avenged his master, and didn’t risk making an uncontrollable mess, just right.

Daohua instructed Defu, “When you get there, just cut a small hole in the window, put the medicine pill inside the bamboo tube, and then blow the pill out with your mouth.”

“Remember, don’t break the pill midway, or else you’ll be the one itching all over!”

Defu nodded, “Rest assured, I promise to handle it well.” Saying this, he quickly moved toward the second floor to find a hiding spot.

Watching Defu swiftly leap up to the second floor, avoiding everyone on the way, both Daohua and Wang Manman looked on with envy.

“If only I had such great skills!” Daohua said enviously.

Xiao Yeyang gave her a look, “Defu learns martial arts to protect me, what would you learn it for?”

Daohua replied, “I would learn it to protect myself. In this world, it’s always better to rely on oneself than on others.”

Xiao Yeyang, “…With your capabilities, who would dare to mess with you.” If it wasn’t for this outing, he wouldn’t have known she was capable of such underhanded tactics.

“By the way, where did you get this Sleeping Powder and the pills from?”

Daohua lifted her head, “I made them myself, haven’t I told you? I am a medical genius.” She finished speaking, raised her eyebrows at Xiao Yeyang, and patted his shoulder, “Remember to treat me well, so that in the future, I can take good care of you.”

Xiao Yeyang looked speechlessly at the delicate little hand moving away from his shoulder and said with a forced smile, “Then I thank you for that.”

“We’re all in this together, no need for thanks,” Daohua replied grandly, leaving Xiao Yeyang so blocked he didn’t want to say anything else.

By this time, Defu had already succeeded in his task.

However, Defu had never expected the pills to work so well.

He blew a pill toward a table in the room, and as soon as the pill hit the table, it burst open straightaway.

Then, Ma Feiyu and the others in the room began scratching and clawing at themselves.

All this was supposed to be enjoyable, yet as soon as he saw clearly what Ma Feiyu and the others were doing in the room, his expression changed instantly, and he quickly turned around to run toward Xiao Yeyang and the other two.

However, he was a step too late. Just as he descended to the second floor, the door to Ma Feiyu’s room burst open.

Several handsome young men with bare torsos, wearing only underpants, ran out of the room, scratching their bodies and behaving in a frivolous and licentious manner as they fled.

In the corner, Xiao Yeyang and the other two, who were waiting for news, saw this scene and immediately widened their eyes.

“Uh…”

This spectacle was somewhat not suitable for children!

Daohua stared unblinkingly, when suddenly, a pair of hands violently covered her eyes, followed by Xiao Yeyang’s voice, “Don’t look! Let’s go, back to our place!”

“How can I see where I’m going if you cover my eyes?”

Xiao Yeyang ignored Daohua’s clamor; with one hand covering her eyes and the other pulling her wrist, he quickly walked towards the courtyard wall.

That damned Ma Feiyu, to engage in indecency here!

The disheveled youths who rushed out of the room instantly caught the attention of others in the courtyard, and soon, various ambiguous laughs and jokes echoed throughout.

Defu hurried back, grabbed Wang Manman, and swiftly exited without a word.

Damn it, they had actually entered a Nanfeng Pavilion, and brought along Miss Yan!

“Investigate for me, I want to see who is trying to harm me!”

An angry roar came from the second floor, and immediately after, a group of servants began searching the whole courtyard.

Xiao Yeyang, pulling Daohua, quickly arrived at the spot where they had climbed the wall before. With a burst of speed, he scaled to the top of the wall, then stretched out his hand to Daohua as he lay on top of the wall, “Come, I’ll pull you up.”

Daohua knew this was no time to hesitate; she handed her hand to Xiao Yeyang, and then was swiftly pulled up.

Wang Manman was dealt with the same way, Defu pulled her up to the wall’s top.

Subsequently, the four of them deftly and quickly left.

As soon as they were gone, the black-clothed individual appeared again. This time, he had a bucket of ice water in his hand. He poured the ice water over the heads of two black dogs, and before long, the dogs slowly opened their eyes.

After dealing with the black dogs and erasing the footprints of Xiao Yeyang and his group, the black-clothed man then coldly glanced at the still chaotic Nanfeng Pavilion, scoffed, and quickly took his leave.

…

“What exactly was that courtyard…”

Just as Daohua started to speak, Xiao Yeyang cut her off, “Don’t ask, and don’t mention it again. It would be best if you forget everything that happened tonight.”

Daohua pouted: “Even if you don’t say it, I know.” She then lowered her voice, curiously asking, “Is that place the Nanfeng Pavilion mentioned in the storybooks?”

Xiao Yeyang’s eyes opened wide in disbelief as he looked at Daohua. After a moment, he said, “Your elder brother was right, it would be better for you to read fewer storybooks.”

This guy, even she knows about Nanfeng Pavilion!

Daohua knew that ancient people were conservative in their thoughts, so she refrained from provoking Xiao Yeyang further: “Alright, I promise I won’t tell anyone. Let’s just consider what happened today as our little secret.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang let out a sigh of relief and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

He was never going to take Daohua out on such wild adventures again!
