Chapter 838 - 838 60 The Drug is Still Rather Potent_2

Chapter 838: Chapter 60: The Drug is Still Rather Potent_2 Chapter 838: Chapter 60: The Drug is Still Rather Potent_2 As for the torment of a beauty seeking affection, he also endured it resolutely, relying on the formidable willpower that came from being a person in two lifetimes!

Li Minghu had endured many years of sickness and torment. Now, even if she kissed me a few times, or hugged me a few times, what was that compared to her pain!

Familiarity breeds ease, and with the previous experience helping to neutralize the effects of the Elixir Medicine, Yan Yu’s treatment efficiency was much improved this time. He quickly brought back a lot of Li Minghu’s rationality. Initially controlled by instinct and sticking closely, she was now half instinctive and half emotional in her cuddling.

The mobile phones on the bedside table rang each other.

Yan Yu’s hands were busy treating her, and he had no time to care for the phone. Originally, Li Minghu also did not want to bother, but a glance at the caller ID showing Li Zhaojiang made her hesitate.

Her elder brother had arranged for her to come here for “treatment,” and Li Zhaojiang had initially reacted fiercely to it. It was just that the Elixir Medicine was in the hands of the Zhendong Army, and her sister’s condition could not be delayed, so he had no choice but to repeatedly emphasize that she must keep in touch all the time and absolutely must not let Old Yan take any advantage.

Now that her brother was calling, if she didn’t answer, he might start worrying again. Li Minghu sat in Yan Yu’s lap, stretched out her arm, and grabbed the phone, then made a silencing gesture.

Seeing the caller name, Yan Yu immediately understood and stayed silent, only placing his hands on Li Minghu’s back and channeling True Yuan into the governor and conception vessels to neutralize the medicine around her back.

Li Minghu, suppressing the irritation, answered the phone and only heard Li Zhaojiang ask,

“Sis, mom asked about you earlier, wondering how much longer you will be on your business trip in Jinling, and when you will be back?”

“Probably one or two weeks,” Li Minghu tried not to let her voice sound unusual. Perhaps due to the effect of the medicine, even her normal speech sounded both seductive and alluring. Or in terms used online—it was as clipped as those famous online beauties, likely to make people physically uncomfortable.

“Sis, what’s wrong with your voice?” Li Zhaojiang felt something was off.

“It’s nothing,” Li Minghu coughed and said, “I just coughed too much earlier, and my throat is a bit hoarse.”

“Oh,” Li Zhaojiang didn’t suspect anything, as his sister had indeed severely coughed to the point of breaking her voice in the past, even causing the family to worry she might have had vocal cord congestion, “then you should take some throat-soothing medicine… have Old Yan prepare it for you! You’re staying with him temporarily; he surely can’t neglect you, right?”

“I’ve already taken the medicine,” Li Minghu suddenly shivered because Yan Yu’s hands had moved under her armpits, “It’s okay, it will be fine soon.”

“That medicine has side effects, right?” Li Zhaojiang asked worriedly, “Sis, how will you handle it?”

“They’ve provided me a separate room here,” Li Minghu struggled to resist, and said in a soft voice, “I’ll just bear it, and it will pass.”

She glanced back at Yan Yu as if to say, “I’m on the phone with my brother, can you stop the treatment for a bit?”

Yan Yu hurriedly stopped his actions, only to hear Li Minghu responding with hms and ums, seemingly handling the concern and questioning from her brother.

Suddenly, she leaned back into Yan Yu’s embrace, pulling his hands to her side. On closer inspection, her pale nape had turned crimson; it turned out that the residual medicine not suppressed by the True Yuan was showing signs of spreading again.

Can’t help it, I’ll have to assist you then.

On the other side, Li Zhaojiang asked a few more questions. Hearing that his sister’s responses were all normal except for her odd voice tone, which didn’t seem suspicious, he was about to hang up when he suddenly heard an almost imperceptible moan from the other side.

“Sis!” he shouted worriedly, “What are you doing over there!”

“Ah?” Li Minghu also shuddered, nearly biting Yan Yu’s lips by accident, “I… I’m taking a cold bath to cool down.”

If a cold bath was sufficient to resolve the effects of the medicine, the Annan Army wouldn’t have had a reason to send Li Minghu over. The fact was that this kind of medicine’s power had to be enveloped with True Yuan and forcefully refined, and Li Minghu was very resistant to anyone except Yan Yu touching her entire body, even if it was female medical personnel.

However, Li Zhaojiang didn’t think too much and continued skeptically,

“Alone?”

“Could there be someone else scrubbing my back? Hahaha,” Li Minghu tried to make her tone lighthearted but couldn’t help but shout again. She quickly pulled Yan Yu’s hand away and instead placed it on her thigh, signaling him to deal with her limbs first—sensitive areas could wait until the phone call was over!

“Sis, what’s wrong?” Li Zhaojiang, hearing her cry, asked hurriedly.

“The soap dropped, it’s nothing,” Li Minghu regained her calm, even though her face was flush and her voice steady, “It just scared me for a moment.”

“Hey sis, weren’t you supposed to take a cold bath in the bathtub?” Li Zhaojiang asked suspiciously, “Then why do you need soap?”

“Why are you asking so many questions?” Li Minghu’s tone carried a hint of annoyance, “Can’t I use soap when I bathe? Or do you want to video call me to make sure I’m not lying?”

Years of being the authoritative older sister made Li Zhaojiang instinctively shrink back, vigorously denying any such thoughts.

“That’s it, hanging up.” Li Minghu said coldly, ending the call abruptly and turning to kiss Yan Yu.

As long as the effects of the Elixir Medicine hadn’t completely refined, she felt completely justified in enjoying these intimate activities. How could she let her little brother interrupt her precious moments?

After being hung up on, Li Zhaojiang went silent for a moment, his face gradually turning to one of horror.

Oh no, did Big Sis really fall for Yan Yu?

No way! I don’t want to call Old Yan my brother-in-law!

Just then, Xu Jin passed by outside the room, and Li Zhaojiang quickly called her in to voice his suspicions to her, asking her to help analyze the situation:

“…I felt something was off last time in the Mysterious Realm! If refining the Elixir Medicine necessitates physical contact, she should have chosen you, being a girl, right? How did Old Yan get to take advantage of that?”

Because she likes him, Xu Jin thought to herself, but aloud she said:

“Maybe because Yan Yu was just there with her. In urgent situations, one has to act; it doesn’t mean Deputy Li and Captain Yan have anything going on. I think you’re worrying too much, captain.”

“Am I really overthinking it?” Li Zhaojiang said, alarmed, “But her voice also sounded off!”

“It’s because of the medicine,” Xu Jin explained, “Sometimes, even without medicine, women have their menstrual periods during which not only might their voice change, but they might also feel particularly romantic due to hormonal changes.”

“And she even screamed!” Li Zhaojiang insisted, “She said it was because the soap slipped and scared her! Do you believe that?”

“I believe it.” Xu Jin said, “Soap is slippery, and if it slips from your hand, any girl would be scared, wouldn’t she?”

“But she was taking a cold bath!” Li Zhaojiang remarked, “People apply soap while showering, right? Who puts on soap while soaking in a bath?”

Xu Jin was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:

“Captain, don’t be like this.”

“Huh?” Li Zhaojiang was taken aback.

“Everyone has their own bathing habits.” Xu Jin explained, “I don’t see any problem with applying soap while taking a bath, but the fact that you’re so interested in your sister’s bathing habits is a bit unsettling to me.”

“No, no, this isn’t about the bathing itself!” Li Zhaojiang said excitedly, “I’m worried that Old Yan might sneak into my sister’s bed while the effects of the Elixir Medicine are active!”

“Captain,” Xu Jin asked seriously, “If Captain Yan did that, would your sister refuse him?”

“That’s exactly the problem!” Li Zhaojiang shouted, “I’m afraid she wouldn’t refuse at all!”

“If that’s the case, it means they have mutual feelings,” Xu Jin sighed slightly, “Captain, your sister is a legally capable adult. If she’s mutually in love with a man, how could you possibly stop them? I think you should accept reality sooner rather than later…”

In the living room outside, Jiang Hong and Wang Haoran were playing an NBA video game with their controllers when they suddenly heard a dreadful scream:

“Not that!”

“What happened?” Tao Xingyuan turned his head to look, “Sounds like the captain.”

“He probably got hit with another blowout by Xu Jin.” Wang Haoran casually said, “She supports our deputy captain dating Captain Yan.”

The three looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly smiled knowingly, everything understood without words.
