Chapter 312: Chapter 312: It’s All Because of You

"Chen Fan!" Dong Xiaoran called out.

Chen Fan, who was holding a cup of water, stopped and turned around, saying politely, "Madam Shen, you’re looking quite well today."

With a blush on her cheeks, Dong Xiaoran’s heart raced as she remembered Shen Ronghua’s vigorous performance the night before. It had been many years since she had felt this satisfied, ever since they had had Shen Lingdie.

She gave Chen Fan a reproachful look and said, "You have the nerve to say that, as if it wasn’t because of whatever you gave Shen Ronghua to drink yesterday. How else could he have been so impressive last night?"

Chen Fan looked utterly confused, "Uh... Madam Shen, what are you talking about? I’m a bit lost here."

Dong Xiaoran rolled her eyes at Chen Fan, "Chen Fan, they treat you like Master Chen and show you all sorts of reverence, but I don’t see you as an outsider. Stop playing dumb with me. What exactly did you give Shen Ronghua last night? Is there any left?"

Chen Fan was puzzled, remembering that last night Shen Ronghua had just drunk a cup of water in his room, so he looked down at the cup in his hand, "He just... drank a cup of water here yesterday."

Dong Xiaoran’s eyes shone as she looked at the water in Chen Fan’s hand, and she quickly took the cup from him, "Worthy of Master Chen indeed, just a simple cup of water and it has such miraculous effects."

She scrutinized the cup of water closely, then said with a smile, "Chen Fan, I’ll be requisitioning this cup of water. Don’t worry, if you want to court my daughter, I won’t have any objections."

After that, she turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Chen Fan was bewildered from beginning to end, muttering to himself, "What in the world is going on?"

As Dong Xiaoran reached the entrance of the courtyard, she stopped, turned around, and winked at Chen Fan, "Oh, by the way, Shen Ronghua is taking the day off today. We’re going to have a world for two, so you watch over Lingdie later, don’t let her come interrupt us, okay?"

Chen Fan shrugged and went inside to get a cup of water to drink.

After a short while, Shen Lingdie came back into Chen Fan’s courtyard, full of eagerness, "Chen Fan, have you had water yet?"

Chen Fan nodded, "Yes, I have."

Shen Lingdie’s lips curved slightly, then she sat down on a stool at the stone table and said, "Keep training, I’ll watch you."

Training could speed up the circulation of blood, and perhaps would make the medicinal effect take hold faster. Today should be problem-free, she added to herself.

Chen Fan didn’t say anything and started to practice martial arts in the courtyard.

Half an hour later, Shen Lingdie asked, "Chen Fan, are you feeling hot?"

Chen Fan replied, "No."

An hour later, Shen Lingdie asked, "Chen Fan, are you feeling restless at all?"

Chen Fan replied, "No."

Two hours later, Shen Lingdie asked, "Chen Fan, you can’t possibly be impotent, can you?"

Chen Fan: "..."

Three hours later, a utterly disappointed and puzzled Shen Lingdie left Chen Fan’s courtyard, incessantly muttering to herself, "It shouldn’t be, it just shouldn’t be..."

Chen Fan stopped practicing martial arts and quietly followed Shen Lingdie.

He always felt that this girl was behaving abnormally today and decided to see what she was up to.

Shen Lingdie made her way back to her room.

Chen Fan stood outside the door, releasing his Divine Sense to observe Shen Lingdie’s every move.

Shen Lingdie took the last dose of Qi Huan Powder from the drawer and muttered to herself, "Could that guy really be a quack peddling fake medicine? But the butler said that person is reliable, and many people go to him for medicine; the butler wouldn’t deceive me, right?"

Chen Fan, on the other hand, looked doubtful and wondered what kind of medicine was Shen Lingdie holding?

At that moment, he thought of how attentive Shen Lingdie had been offering him water the night before and that morning, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat, "Could she have drugged the water?"

Then he remembered the water from last night had been drunk by Shen Ronghua, and Dong Xiaoran’s bizarre words to him early in the morning, Chen Fan suddenly realized what was going on.

"The medicine she put in the water, was it that kind?"

Chen Fan’s eyes bulged out in horror, and a wave of fear washed over him. If it weren’t for Shen Ronghua mistakenly drinking the water, would he not have made a grave mistake?

Of course, with Chen Fan’s current strength, such medicine might not have affected him, but what if? What if the medicine Shen Lingdie had procured was something even he couldn’t counteract?

"Sigh..." Chen Fan sighed helplessly, recognizing that life was full of danger, and it wasn’t just an empty saying.

At this moment, Shen Lingdie poured a cup of water and added the last dose of Qi Huan Powder into it. Then she picked up the cup and muttered to herself, "I’ll test the medicine myself to see if it works. If it’s indeed fake, I’m going to confront him."

Chen Fan’s heart lurched, and he immediately barged into the room.

However, Shen Lingdie had already emptied the cup.

Shen Lingdie was startled by Chen Fan, but then she thought that if the medicine really worked, Chen Fan’s timing couldn’t have been better, and a sly smile appeared on her face.

Chen Fan walked over and asked, "What did you just drink?"

Shen Lingdie said, "A poison that can turn people into beasts. Chen Fan, if I turn into a beast, will you help me?"

Chen Fan was speechless, then grabbed Shen Lingdie’s wrist, took her pulse, and confirmed she drank that kind of medicine.

He directly injected a stream of Spiritual Power into her meridians, dispersing the medicine she had just swallowed.

After doing this, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking how fortunate it was that the drug wasn’t something difficult to counteract, or else he would have definitely been in trouble today.

He looked at Shen Lingdie reproachfully and said, "I’ve dispersed the medicine inside you; you won’t turn into a beast now."

Then he raised his hand and gave Shen Lingdie a knock on the head, "Tell me, what on earth do you have on your mind all day long?"

Shen Lingdie held her head, "Ow, that hurts."

Looking at Chen Fan with a plaintive expression, she said, "Say what you just said again."

Chen Fan was puzzled and repeated his words, "What on earth do you have on your mind all day long?"

Shen Lingdie fixed her gaze straight on Chen Fan, tears sparkling in her eyes as she said petulantly, "It’s all about you!"
