Chapter 2683 — The Failure of Making the Best of a Mistake
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Though Yuning supposed Yang Huaijun would not casually do anything lewd, no matter what, his hands had touched her, and she truly did not want this! Even in a dream, she did not want it!
What kind of dream was this? This dream was simply a nightmare!
Even as Yuning prayed for Wei Zhao to hurry back, she prayed for this dream to end as quickly as possible! If Wei Zhao was not coming back, then she would rather wake up, for there was no joy left in the dream.
Yet as time passed, Yuning found the desire in her body growing fainter and fainter, and her thoughts seeming to grow clearer and clearer. It seemed... she was not so muddled, nor so drowsy anymore. Could it be... this was not a dream?
As Yuning's mind gradually cleared, she regained her usual shrewdness. She knew that when a person dreams, they ought not to realize they are dreaming—and besides, what she felt now did not seem to be a dream at all!
When Yang Huaijun's silver needles pierced her body, it had not hurt especially, but there had still been a sense of pain—and she had heard that one feels no pain in a dream. So Yuning found it rather strange. Could this really not be a dream?
At that thought, Yuning flung her eyes open, meaning to rebuke Yang Huaijun and tell him not to touch her. But when she opened her eyes and looked at him, what she saw was not the Yang Huaijun of before, but a hazy, blurred figure that was somehow familiar.
As the scene before Yuning's eyes shifted, the figure grew clearer and clearer! It was Wei Zhao! It was actually Wei Zhao!
How could that be? It had plainly been Yang Huaijun who came before—how had he suddenly become Wei Zhao? Yuning was struck dumb for a moment. Yet though her mind had recovered, her speech and her strength had drained away considerably as the drug's toxins were expelled from her body, leaving her unable to open her mouth and speak!
In truth, there was no help for it. Wei Zhao gathered the drug's toxins in Yuning's body together by means of acupuncture and massage, then drove them out of her system—but inevitably, this had to draw on Yuning's own physical strength to accomplish.
Yuning had already burned through a good deal of strength when the fire of desire had consumed her earlier, and now it was even worse—which was why she had not a bit of strength left!
And as the drug's toxins in her body dwindled, Yuning grew clearer still, and the memories that had been conjured by illusion now turned real! This was what happened after the drug's effects wore off: everything one had seen and heard before would be released from memory, and the illusory scenes that had been conjured would be distinguished by the person involved.
This too was the wonder of the Medicine King's drug—it ensured that after Yuning awoke, she would know that the man who had been intimate with her was in fact Zhao Qibing, and that everything before had been a falsehood conjured by her own mind. But the deed had already become an established fact, so however unwilling Yuning was, she could only swallow her loss in silence!
