But that was none other than Elder Miss’s personal matter. Elder Miss was a girl who easily felt shy. It was their own affair, and Elder Miss should be the one to share the story. It would be impolite of her to reveal the truth.
Lingyun was about to say something but stopped herself. She said, “Mr. Head, you should ask Elder Miss.”
After uttering those words, she coughed lightly and found it embarra.s.sing to be present there. It was, after all, a very awkward situation. So she pondered for a while and left.
Before departing, she added, “I will go and take care of Elder Miss.”
With that, she swiftly departed.
Seated there, Zhou Huaijin was unsure whether he should inquire or not. He began to feel perplexed.
Chaoyan had no clue about what was happening.
This was not how she usually behaved. Whenever he approached her since they arrived in Snow Territory, she would react like this.
Moreover, he could sense that Chaoyan wasn’t avoiding him or disliking him.
She was simply feeling shy.
But what was making her shy?
Zhou Huaijin couldn’t comprehend it.
Eventually, he decided to give Chaoyan some s.p.a.ce so he could reorganize the hidden guards.
Due to the ambush, many of the hidden guards were either dead or injured, and they needed to be rea.s.signed.
Thus, when Gu Chaoyan returned, Zhou Huaijin was not in the room, which relieved her.
Every time she saw Huaijin, she would be reminded of what Huang Fu had said to her. It made her feel so embarra.s.sed that she chose to avoid being in his presence.
At that moment, Huang Fu emerged holding a black bowl in his hands. Steam wafted from the bowl, carrying a delicate floral fragrance instead of the usual strong medicinal scent.
“It’s prepared with the magical water from your s.p.a.ce, and the temperature is just right. Drink it first, followed by the pill. I will use my magical power to protect you. No one should disturb you for approximately two hours. Go ahead and make the arrangements,” Huang Fu said with seriousness.
Gu Chaoyan glanced at the medicine-filled bowl.
The medicine retained its vivid red color, with a few petals floating on the surface. Huang Fu must have portioned the petals of a Fire Lotus flower for seven days.
Instead of drinking the wine, she stepped out to inform Sword One.
Usually, she would not be interrupted while in her room, but she needed to inform Huaijin. However, he was nowhere to be found.
After contemplating for a moment, she instructed Sword One to halt her search.
Then she entered the room and consumed the medicine without wrinkling her brows. As soon as she drank it, a warm sensation coursed through her body.
Gu Chaoyan swallowed the pills completely.
Huang Fu began employing his magical power to envelop her. The chilling sensation had been plaguing her for quite some time, and the Fire Lotus flower proved effective. Without the safeguard of magical power, she could easily be harmed.
However…
With the magical power s.h.i.+elding her, Gu Chaoyan experienced immense comfort, as if strolling through a warm spring.
Her attention was fully absorbed.
After two hours had elapsed, the Fire Lotus flower had fully integrated within her body, and Huang Fu retracted his magical power.
