After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

"Your Highness? Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Chen Futu was not in a good condition, Boss Hua became anxious and scolded the group of girls around him, "Which of you secretly drugged him tonight? Hand over the antidote right now!"

The girls stared at each other, wide-eyed. "Master, we didn't drug you."

"Without your orders, how dare we?"

"You're still hiding it from me! Has any of you defected to the Overlord Blade Sect?!"

Boss Hua shouted sternly, his whole demeanor turning menacing.

The girls all lowered their heads and remained silent; no one admitted to anything, and no one offered the antidote.

"Hmph, I'll deal with you later."

In this urgent situation, Boss Hua quickly took Chen Futu to an inn near the official road.

She asked for a room and then helped the dazed Chen Futu upstairs.

"I really owe you in my last life."

Boss Hua gazed at the sleeping Chen Futu, his expression extremely complex.

They were originally enemies, so why did things escalate to this point?

Chen Futu admired her talent and didn't want to kill her, but she, in turn, never wanted to destroy a potential overlord who could rule the world.

Next, she took out a small black box from her bosom, opened it, and saw a pale gold pill. "You're really lucky. Consider it your reward for letting me go."

If others knew about this pill, they would be shocked. It is the legendary "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir," made by a famous alchemist from the Red Moon Pavilion headquarters. It is said to be able to bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. Of course, these effects are just legends, but saving a life is no problem.

The shopkeeper carefully placed the pill into Chen Futu's mouth, and then it took some effort to feed Chen Futu the medicine.

That night, she stayed by Chen Futu's side, staring intently at his sleeping, handsome face, sometimes revealing an enigmatic smile, sometimes furrowing her brows.

The following morning, Chen Futu groggily opened his eyes and saw her.

"What did you give me to eat? It's disgusting."

Chen Futu felt that the taste in his mouth was not right.

Mr. Hua said coldly, "Poison, I'm going to poison you to death."

"What poison?"

"I'm not lying to you anymore. It's a Nine-Turn Golden Pill produced by Red Moon Pavilion. It takes a great deal to exchange for just one. I only gave you one because I saw you were about to die. You've really gotten a good deal, young master."

"What the heck, a Golden Core?" Chen Futu was stunned. Boss Hua nodded. "That's right, a Nine-Turn Golden Core. That's why you've come back to life."

"Thank you so much."

Chen Futu covered his mouth and staggered off the bed, squatted by the wall, and gagged violently.

Boss Hua exclaimed in astonishment, "What are you doing! That's a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir!"

"Nine-Turn My ass! It's all heavy metal poison!"

Chen Futu wasn't poisoned at all last night; it was all the system's doing that made him weak. He only pretended to be drugged by Boss Hua, but she actually stuffed a worthless golden pill into his mouth.

Unfortunately, it's too late to try to clear his throat now; the golden pill has probably already been digested in his stomach.

"System, system..."

Chen Futu called out twice in his mind before remembering that the system was in a dormant state and undergoing an upgrade, which would take seventy-two hours to complete.

Well, one poison pill won't kill anyone.

"The young master truly does not appreciate kindness."

Boss Hua was very unhappy. You see, she had spent a lot of merit points to exchange for this Nine-Turn Golden Pill, but this young master was extremely disgusted with it. If she had known, she would have fed it to the dogs.

Chen Futu, seeing the look in her eyes, knew exactly what she was thinking. So he patiently explained to her how the elixir was made. As for the so-called detoxification and saving lives, it was just a mixture of some medicinal herbs.

Mr. Hua was completely confused. "Really?"

Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, try using other pills on small animals.

"I really don't believe it."

The innkeeper had someone buy a rabbit and a chicken from the innkeeper and fed them two other pills. Before long, the two animals, which had been lively and energetic, became listless and obviously weak.

"How can this be!"

Mr. Hua felt that his worldview had been shaken.

Chen Futu sneered: "You're stupid. Even if there are some medicines in the pill, you are so strong that it will only have a placebo effect. What really works is your cultivation level."

These words left Boss Hua speechless.

Over the years she has consumed a lot of elixirs, doesn't that mean that a lot of toxins have accumulated in her body?

"Beg me, and I can help you resolve this."

Chen Futu spoke in a serious tone, and Boss Hua asked suspiciously, "You're going to save me like this?"

"What a coincidence, I also have elixirs, but mine are genuine. They can not only remove the toxins from your body, but also help you break through to the next realm and become a grandmaster."

"Really?"

The owner of the shop was in turmoil.

"Otherwise, where do you think all those powerful figures in my Northern Frontier came from?"

Chen Futu possesses a system, and anything produced by the system is guaranteed to be of the highest quality, unlike those pretentious sorcerers and magicians in this world. Once it completes its upgrade, it might produce elixirs that allow one to break through from the Innate Realm to the Grandmaster Realm.

Boss Hua sighed, "We'll talk about this later. Young Master, you may leave now."

"No, you have to do something for me."

Since Chen Futu is already here, and the ban period hasn't expired yet, he can't use the Sword Saint experience card. Once the ban period is over, he'll personally tie her up and take her back to train her.

He didn't arrest her last night because their relationship was tense and it wasn't appropriate. But now that their relationship has eased, and she even took out a so-called precious elixir to help prolong her life, it shows that she still cares about him, the prince, so he can be forced to do so.

The shopkeeper frowned and said, "Young master, I'm not joking with you. If you don't leave now, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave at all."

"You mean the Overlord Blade will come to kill me?"

“I suspect that one of my subordinates drugged the prince and is secretly colluding with Ba Dao. If he comes, you will surely die.”

"You care about me so much, so you'll protect me, right?"

Chen Futu shamelessly moved forward.

Mr. Hua immediately felt a headache coming on, then called for his subordinates, and two young ladies entered. "Master, please give your orders."

"With the Crown Prince gone, our purpose in coming to Dragon City is complete."

The shopkeeper waved wearily. The two young ladies exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and said to Chen Futu, "Young Master, please."

"I won't go, I won't go, I won't go!"

Chen Futu lay on the bed and acted like a rogue, "Oh, I feel terrible all over and have no strength. At least let me rest until tonight and recover before we talk about it."

"Your Highness, do you really think you can do whatever you want just because I haven't killed you?"

Even a clay figure has some temper, and as an assassin from the Red Moon Pavilion, Boss Hua's patience is limited; she's really about to get angry.

Chen Futu said earnestly, "I'll rest until tonight. I'll definitely leave tonight, okay?"

"You asked for this. Your life will be in danger. Don't blame me for not warning you."

"can."

Chen Futu readily agreed.

Leaving is out of the question. He's just a Tyrant Blade. Judging by the time, he'll arrive at night. After all, the city closed all four gates last night, so he can only travel here during the day. By the time he arrives, his cultivation will have recovered.
