Chapter 807: Love Poison.
“If a man is a tiger, a poison or a disaster, why would he cure me?”
Funing voiced her doubts. She leaned over and looked out of the window at the night sky. There was a blush on her face. “When I first saw him, my heart jumped and started to beat faster. It was very strange and difficult to describe in words. National Teacher, do you know what kind of feeling it was?”
Heart beating faster?
The National Teacher’s face was filled with horror, “Funing, you have been poisoned by the man! The only way to detoxify it is to drink the Erasing Water and forget all memories related to him.”
Funing frowned, “My body is all right and there is no sign of poisoning.”
“A man’s poison is love poison which will not do any harm to your body. It will only erode your heart, devour your soul, and make you swoon as if you were drunk with ecstasy. You will gradually become depressed. In the end, you will do terrible things for that man regardless of everything.” The voice of the National Teacher was raised by a few octaves and echoed in the huge Funing Hall.
“National Teacher, you worry too much!”
Funing thought that the National Teacher was making a mountain out of a molehill. Love poison? How could she be poisoned by this?
“No, my worries are all justified. Like you, the first Queen also admired a man, and in the end she was unable to extricate herself from it. When she learned that the man was already married, with a wife and children in his own hometown, she was heartbroken and depressed. Every Queen who succeeded the throne would become the lifeblood of the whole kingdom. Since she was poisoned, it almost caused the thousands of people in our nation to be buried with her. Finally, she painfully drank the Erasing Water and forgot everything.”
The National Teacher earnestly advised, “After the second Queen succeeded to the throne, the first decree she issued was to prohibit any man from entering or leaving the country. If a man breaks in, he will be killed without forgiveness, and all the people will be warned to stay away from men!”
“Oh.”
Funing sat down on the steps, tilted her head, and simply felt the lingering aftertaste of her meeting with Xiao Luo. She didn’t listen to the National Teacher’s words at all, and only answered with indifference.
The scene of Xiao Luo flying around with his hands around her waist made her feel so sweet. When she thought about it, she couldn’t help showing a pure smile.
“Funing, you…”
The National Teacher was experienced, so how could she not know that Funing was a girl in love. She felt that things were more serious than initially anticipated.
Funing stood up and grabbed the wrist of the National Teacher. “National Teacher, I want to see him again. Would you please help me find him?”
Find him?
How is that possible? As soon as I see him, I will erase him from this world!
The National Teacher thought while gritting her teeth. However, on the surface, she promised, “Okay.”
“Forget it, let me go with you in the search.” Funing suddenly said.
The National Teacher was stupefied. She said with displeasure, “You don’t even believe your National Teacher?”
“National Teacher misunderstood. I just wanted to see him as soon as possible.” Funing was looking forward to their meeting again. She really wanted to see Xiao Luo. She couldn’t understand why, she just wanted to see him and see him pretend to be fierce.
It’s over!
The love poison had seeped deep into her mind, what should I do?
The National Teacher felt a big problem before her. Her mission was to guard every Queen of the country. Now, the current Queen was just like the first Queen. She sensed that a disaster was about to come to Moon Worship Country.
She must get rid of that man!
……
……
Xiao Luo, who was on his way back to the inn, didn’t know that he had been put on the National Teacher’s must-kill list. According to the innkeeper’s instructions, he dropped the Queen’s tears in clear water, stirred to mix thoroughly; then he gave them to Gui and the Duck Emperor.
Gui didn’t eat too much forbidden fruit so her stomach didn’t swell. After drinking the clear water containing the Queen’s tears, the painful symptoms were immediately alleviated. She laid in bed and slept quietly. The Duck Emperor’s stomach, on the other hand, swelled greatly. The effect was very obvious. After drinking the Queen’s tears, it was visible to the naked eye that his stomach shrank before finally returning to its original shape. The nausea effect from the pregnancy also disappeared.
“Gai~ this duck’s reputation has finally been saved. Thank you for this boy!” The Duck Emperor was relieved. If other ducks were to know that he laid eggs, he would be shunned out of society.
“Then give me less trouble in the future.” Xiao Luo said as he sent a stare.
“I know, you are the eldest brother. Why would I not listen to you? Gai~ boy, I am so hungry. Can you buy something to eat?” The Duck Emperor put a low profile.
Xiao Luo didn’t really dwell on the matter now that it was resolved. After all, this stinky duck helped him a lot along the way. He asked, “What would you like to eat?”
“Roasted leg!”
The Duck Emperor drooled as he imagined the time in the endless forest. “The hind legs of the raccoon dog are the most fragrant and delicious when cooked on the bonfire.”
“It’s tender outside, fat but not greasy. Now that I think about it, it’s really delicious. Gai~ boy, there must be a raccoon dog in the forest of Moon Worship Country. Catch one and roast it. Also, don’t make it too spicy, just a little.”
Xiao Luo’s face immediately darkened again. He then kicked the Duck Emperor sending the latter to slam against the wall. The Duck Emperor ricocheted against the wall and dropped to the ground with a miserable cry.
Roast a raccoon dog?
Make it just a little spicy? You are going to heaven!
Xiao Luo was furious, this duck treated him as if he was his maid!
……
……
The inn provides not only accommodation but also meals.
Xiao Luo didn’t go outside and just asked the inn to make a meal and deliver it. All the dishes he ordered were the specialties of the inn.
When the delicious food’s scent wafted in the room, the sleeping Gui woke up immediately. She then ran to the table and was very excited: “Wow, how sumptuous!”
She then picked up the bowl and chopsticks and ate with relish without caring about her image.
“Slow down, little girl, slow down, gai~ I don’t care anymore.”
At first, the Duck Emperor taught Gui to slow down and be feminine in her actions, but Gui didn’t listen. Seeing that all the dishes on the table were being devoured by the little girl, he immediately dug in. They were eating like hungry wolves fighting for food.
Xiao Luo was already very familiar with such scenes. Other than being speechless, he only sighed.
Fortunately, they had enough silver as one round of eating wasn’t able to satisfy the stomach of Gui and Duck Emperor.
“Little girl, you can really eat!” The Duck Emperor touched his bulging belly and lay sprawled on his chair and burped.
“Little duck can also eat.” Gui, who was full, sat in a chair to rest. She did not want to move.
“You’re better though.”
“No, you are!”
“You are!”
“No, you!”
The two then bickered at each other, back and forth. None wanted to claim to be the one who could eat the most.
