Chapter 132

Morning Wind Street, No. 13 Potion Shop.

"I have analyzed the effect of Twilight Tea!"

"What is it? Tell me quickly!"

After hearing Lord Youde's words, Xia Mingyu showed even more excitement than him; he grabbed Lord Youde's shoulder and kept asking.

Heaven knows how much pressure the Twilight Tea matter had brought him in the past two days!

Thinking that the entire Twilight City and even the Southern Region might become a drug den, he was so worried that he almost suffered from insomnia all night.

"Sage, let go of me first, my shoulder is about to break..." Lord Youde wailed.

His physique was much weaker than a normal person's and couldn't withstand the power of a Morning Star powerhouse.

"Cough, cough, sorry." Xia Mingyu hurriedly let go of his hand.

And after Lord Youde took a bottle of potion from the table and applied it to his shoulder, he spoke:

"Sage, your guess is correct. This kind of Twilight Tea leaf is indeed a very terrifying poison. Although drinking it for a long time is beneficial to the body, once you drink it for a long time and stop halfway..."

A trace of solemnity flashed on Lord Youde's monkey face.

"From the first day, the tea quitter will feel pain every day, and this pain will increase rapidly with the passage of time. About the fifth or sixth day, I'm afraid it will already be pain that exceeds the limit of human senses..."

"What will happen then?" Xia Mingyu continued to ask.

"They will probably go completely crazy from pain or obtain Twilight Tea at all costs."

Lord Youde said slowly, and when he said this, a trace of fear also flashed in his orange-yellow eyes.

Because he knew very well that at least one-fifth of the citizens in the entire Twilight City were drinking Twilight Tea for a long time, and if they all stopped drinking Twilight Tea within five or six days...

Lord Youde dared not imagine how terrifying that scene would be; perhaps the entire Twilight City would be destroyed because of this.

"Is there any way to resolve Twilight Tea?"

Xia Mingyu could naturally think of what he could think of, so this was the question he was most concerned about at the moment.

"Sorry, Sage, this kind of tea leaf is truly bizarre, so I don't have a way to resolve it in a short time."

Lord Youde spread his hands and said helplessly.

Hearing this, Xia Mingyu couldn't help but furrow his brows tightly, his hands clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

Because he realized a very terrifying thing—even if he knew the truth that Twilight Tea was a drug, if he couldn't find a way to resolve it, he would even have to temporarily lift the ban on Twilight Tea and sell it to specific groups.

Because he couldn't watch one-fourth of the people in the entire Twilight City die!

Ah, ah, ah, ah!

It's too infuriating. Why not just forget about everything and go cut that damn Erkus into a thousand pieces first!

Plop.

Just as Xia Mingyu was seriously thinking about what kind of torture to use to interrogate that "conscientious" merchant, Damien, who had been listening to all the conversations between the two behind him, suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Gods above, why do you make me so unfortunate? Could it be that I once sang poems that didn't please you?"

The bard grabbed his hair with both hands, looking incomparably pained.

It would be fine if his father Harris became addicted to tea and died of pain, but if his sister, who was as cute as an angel, walked to that step... it would really be easier to die of fever.

"Are you alright? Damien."

Xia Mingyu helped him up from the ground and asked softly.

"Sage... my younger sister, who has a high fever, is also a long-term drinker of Twilight Tea."

Looking at the concerned expression on the black-haired young man's face in front of him, Damien, who had already learned his true identity, said with a broken heart.

High fever + Twilight Tea poisoning =?

Xia Mingyu and Lord Youde looked at each other, and for a time, both felt it was tricky.

"It doesn't matter, when the carriage arrives, there will always be a road."

"We can first cure your sister's high fever, and then solve her addiction to Twilight Tea." Xia Mingyu comforted.

"Lord Youde, can you cure a fever?"

"Sage, rest assured, I am quite good at lowering human body temperature."

Lord Youde took many herbs from the wooden shelf on the wall and put them into the medicine bag on his body, looking energetic.

"Little brother, you look so perfect, you are the opposite extreme compared to me, so don't have a bitter face. I will definitely cure your sister."

Lord Youde extended his thin arms and patted Damien on the back, mocking himself.

He was really envious of the man in front of him who was incomparably handsome. Clearly, both were humans, but one looked like a monkey, while the other looked like a god...

"Thank you, Pharmacist!"

Damien's nose felt sour, and he squatted down and hugged Lord Youde tightly.

The pharmacist, who had never been hugged by anyone since his mother died, stiffened, but then a trace of emotion surged in his heart.

The young man brought by the Sage was actually so respectful to him; he was a good person.

Since that was the case, he must cure the other party's sister!

Lord Youde secretly made up his mind in his heart.

In front of the only dilapidated house in the prosperous neighborhood.

Click.

The door was opened.

Harris, who was holding a wine bottle and lying on the sofa, glanced at Damien, who walked into the living room, and the one person and one monkey behind him, and then moved his eyes away to continue drinking wine regardless of others.

Without Twilight Tea, he only felt that his spirit was particularly listless, plus the itching and pain that emerged one after another on his body, he really had no intention to pay attention to the changes in the outside world.

"Who is that?" Looking at the bearded middle-aged man on the sofa, Lord Youde asked curiously.

"A dead man." Damien said calmly.

The three of them didn't stop their steps and walked straight into the bedroom.

On the bed in the room, a silver-haired girl who was five or six points similar to Damien was lying with her eyes closed, trapped in the quilt weakly.

Her limbs exposed outside the nightgown were all flushed with an unnatural flush, and fine beads of sweat meandered down on the porcelain-white skin.

Anyone could see that this silver-haired girl was suffering from the ravages of illness, and the situation was quite critical.

Seeing this scene, Lord Youde's expression couldn't help but become severe.

After simply touching the girl's scorching forehead and arms, he immediately took out various herbs and tools from the medicine bag on his body and ground and prepared herbs such as mint, sage, marigold... and so on.

While grinding, he also asked Damien to fetch soaked linen cloth and fold it on the girl's forehead to lower the temperature.

About half an hour later, Lord Youde finally made a bottle of ink-green potion and fed it to the silver-haired girl with Damien's help.

Not long after taking the potion, the girl's body temperature dropped rapidly, and only ten minutes later, it returned to the normal body temperature of a normal person.

Under Damien's nervous gaze, the girl slowly opened her eyes and called out "Brother."

"Great, Alisa, you are finally cured!"

Damien hugged the girl and wept endlessly.

Seeing that his sister, whom he depended on for life, was finally cured, he instantly threw the words left by his mother to the back of his mind.

"Don't cry, don't cry, brother is the best~" Alisa patted the bard's shoulder and comforted him.

"By the way, Alisa, do you still have itching and pain on your body? Do you still want to drink Twilight Tea?"

After regaining his senses, Damien held the girl's hand and asked urgently.

"No, I feel very comfortable on my body. As for Twilight Tea... I don't know why I suddenly don't want to drink it anymore."

After Alisa moved her body, she looked puzzled.

Hearing this, Xia Mingyu and Lord Youde, who were quietly watching this moving scene of the brother and sister, froze.

They looked at each other and suddenly realized something.
