"Where are you going?"

While Zhiran was consciously heading towards his room under the watch of Yan Xi's divine sense, Mo Lianhua instead saw someone on her way back.

"Umm? Oh, aunty... I-I am leaving. Something important came up."

Mei Xuan said a little awkwardly as she was spotted red-handed while trying to leave sneakily. Fortunately, Lianhua didn't think of her as a thief.

"Leaving? Didn't you say you were going to stay for a few days?"

Mo Lianhua asked lightly. Since she was a friend of her son, she didn't mind her staying there.

"Yeah, but something urgent came up. So I have to leave. Sorry for the trouble."

Although Mei Xuan felt awkward, she was in a hurry. So, after bowing to Lianhua gratefully, she left the place as if running away. For a moment, Lianhua was completely confused.

'Damn, that vixen is clearly planning to do something tonight. I have to leave this place before she returns.'

Mei Xuan cursed angrily while leaving the mansion directly. She was extra careful this time not to get spotted by anyone.

Just now, when she was resting, she felt someone's gaze scanning her with divine sense.

Although she couldn't detect it due to her low strength, she had bought a detecting array before.

After multiple skirmishes with Yan Xi, she was totally on her guard. After all, no matter what, she couldn't do anything to that girl with her current strength.

So the moment she felt something odd, she left immediately.

'Damn Yan Xi, just let me build my foundation first. I will show you then.'

Mei Xuan felt utterly humiliated running like this and hiding from everyone.

So she promised to pay it back a hundred, no, a thousand times over once she gained strength.

"She is so odd... she could also leave in the morning. Why the rush?"

Mo Lianhua looked at the disappearing figure of Mei Xuan and shook her head. She didn't think much of it.

Then she looked at the open door of Mei Xuan's room.

'Well, she didn't even close the door. Did something happen?'

Lianhua thought while getting closer, intending to close it.

"Hmm?"

However, when she looked inside inadvertently, she saw something odd, making her face go red in shame.

"This girl... she didn't even take her clothes with her in such a hurry. What if someone sees them?"

Lianhua said with a flushed face as she saw some inner garments of Mei Xuan along with other clothes hanging beside the window.

In her rush, Mei Xuan seemed to forget to take them.

'Sigh... let's hide them. It would be bad if someone sees them.'

Lianhua said and entered the room, intending to hide the clothes and give them to Mei Xuan when she returned.

However, just as she grabbed the pink garment in her hand, the door that was open before suddenly closed on its own with a thud.

"Who is it?"

Mo Lianhua was so startled that she hid the soft pink fabric behind her while staring at the door. It was as if she were caught red-handed playing with someone else's inner garments.

"Hmm? Is it... the wind?"

However, when she looked ahead, she saw no one, nor any sign of a living being near the room.

It seemed the wind closed the door on its own.

'Phew... I got scared for a second.'

Lianhua placed her hand on her ample chest and took a deep breath. She then turned around and began collecting the clothes, storing them directly into a strange ring.

She didn't want to be seen as a pervert.

Unfortunately, while doing so, she failed to sense the presence of an invisible incense spreading throughout the room from beneath the door frame.

She didn't realize how her senses were slowly being affected by an unknown drug while her body heated up without her awareness.

"Huh?"

Zhiran, who was acting as if he were asleep, suddenly sensed something entering his room through his divine sense.

It was so subtle that if he wasn't on guard, he would never notice it.

'What the heck is this girl planning?'

Zhiran was totally confused by such a strange event. Still, he didn't open his eyes. Instead, he stopped breathing and acted as if he were in a deep sleep.

He wanted to know what Yan Xi was planning.

"Did it work?"

After a while, Zhiran sensed someone opening the door of his room from outside. From the voice he heard, he was sure it was Yan Xi, just as he expected. He could feel her presence near his bed.

"Hmm... it seems it worked. For now, he is unconscious. Let him take the medicine and then take him to that room."

Yan Xi mumbled after seeing Zhiran's sleeping figure. Although guilt flickered in her eyes, she steeled her resolve and took out a tiny syringe-like object filled with an unknown liquid.

'Medicine?'

Just as Zhiran was stunned and wanted to react, he suddenly felt a sharp prick on his arm. It felt similar to getting an injection back on Earth.

'What?'

Everything happened so fast that Zhiran barely reacted before he felt the liquid flowing through his veins.

'Is it... poison?'

Zhiran quietly circulated his spiritual energy inside his body to stop the substance from spreading while guessing Yan Xi's motive.

Fortunately, Yan Xi was anxious and in a rush, so she didn't properly check him with her divine sense.

Zhiran wanted to stand up and question her right away, but he felt that acting now would only make things worse. So he remained still and let her proceed.

"Sigh... okay, the medicine will take effect in a few minutes. Let's take him to Mei Xuan's room before he wakes up."

She muttered and grabbed his arm, pulling him off the bed to take him somewhere, unaware that Zhiran heard every word.

'What? Mei Xuan? Is this girl doing what I think she is?'

Zhiran was speechless. He never thought such a plot would happen to him in this life. It was simply too ridiculous.
