Chapter 2703: Lord of Mulberry City
Did that mean Feng Wu was more advanced than a Supreme-level medicine refiner?
Shao Xiao and the others were once again astonished by the notion.
Feng Wu asked, “Where does that door in the wall lead to? Where did you come from?”
Takeno didn’t answer.
The fog in his mind was lifting, and he no longer had gla.s.sy eyes.
Feng Wu sighed inwardly.
It seemed she wasn’t going to get an answer after all.
Takeno woke up from the effect of the serum at that moment. He glared at Feng Wu when he realized what had happened.
“What did I say? Captain, what did I say?”
Jupiter ground his teeth.
…
Realizing that he might have leaked some confidential information, Takeno wanted to kill himself.
Feng Wu shook her head. The truth serum’s effect wouldn’t last forever.
And people could develop a resistance.
It was most effective when it was used the first time, while the effect was reduced by 50% the second time round.
Takeno was a spy who had undergone special training. Even a truth serum made by Feng Wu herself would only be effective the first time.
Therefore, Feng Wu worked on Jupiter instead.
Jupiter tried to resist it at first. Takeno watched in astonishment as Jupiter started spitting out confidential information.
“How… Aren’t we resistant to truth serum? Why?” Takeno couldn’t believe his eyes.
Shao Xiao smirked. “Your truth serum isn’t as useful as ours.”
“That’s not possible! Our Master M… Our master is better than any medicine refiner in the Junwu Empire! You people are barbarians!”
Shao Xiao asked, “Are you talking about Mu Yan?”
Takeno said, “Who told you that name?!”
Shao Xiao said, “We know more than that. We know Mu Yan and your crown prince were rolling around in the gra.s.s!”
OMG!
Takeno wanted to slap himself.
Only he knew about that incident. That was to say, he had revealed it to Feng Wu.
As a spy, Takeno was perfectly aware of the significance of that piece of information. He couldn’t imagine how his enemy would use it.
Feng Wu wasn’t going to give Jupiter a chance to recover.
She cut right to the chase.
It had only taken Takeno 15 minutes to wake up, and Jupiter would be quicker to shake off the effect. He could wake up at any moment, so she had to make every second count.
“Where does that portal lead to?” Feng Wu asked.
Jupiter hesitated and shook his head. He tried to resist.
Feng Wu knew it was harder to use the truth serum on Spiritual Kings because they had tougher minds.
Therefore, she also tried to hypnotize him with her voice.
Slowly, Jupiter let down his guard.
Even so, he wasn’t easy to interrogate. He spoke in the Dongsang language.
“Mulberry City… The City Lord’s residence… We gathered in the garden in his manor, jumped in, and saw the portal. The lord told us the Secret Essence Mine of the Junwu Empire would be on the other end.”
Feng Wu understood what he said.
