Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Although Gu Qingluan said she would let him go, she still wanted him to suffer a bit to vent her anger.
“Ah, does that fish mint not work as an antidote?” Gu Xiaonan’s eyes lit up.
“Fish mint does work as an antidote, but when it combines with the poison in his body, it emits a foul odor that lingers for three days.”
“Wow! Mother, you’re amazing!”
Gu Xiaonan exclaimed in excitement.
The thought of the Demon Lord enduring a stench for three days, his face contorted in disgust, excited him.
Gu Qingluan smiled. “Actually, if he didn’t use fish mint, the poison would naturally dissipate in twelve hours.”
This poison was concocted by her on the spot, specifically to deal with scumbags. She never intended to kill him, so she wouldn’t ruin his cultivation. Gu Xiaonan exclaimed, “Mother, you’re incredible!”
If the Demon Lord knew that he had endured three days of foul odor for nothing, he couldn’t imagine what expression he would have!

Back at the palace, although Feng Tianlan felt weak and couldn’t use his arcane power, it was the best day he had experienced in a long time.
His son had taken care of him the whole time, supporting him with his small body as they walked a long way. Even though beads of sweat dotted his forehead, his heart and eyes were focused on his father.
This good mood continued until he soaked in the water boiled with fish mint, and it came to a sudden halt.
Feng Yuanxi, worried about Feng Tianlan’s condition, hadn’t left and was sitting outside the room, waiting.
Suddenly, a foul smell wafted into their noses, and Feng Yuanxi couldn’t help but cover his nose and exclaim, “It stinks!”
Jing Feng also noticed it.
The smell was reminiscent of fish mint, but it was more than a hundred times stronger.
It was a nauseating smell!
Feng Yuanxi pinched his nose and asked in a muffled voice, “Mr. Jing Feng, where is the stench coming from?”
Jing Feng uncovered his nose and took a sniff, his expression suddenly changing. “It… it seems to be coming from Master’s room!”
“Ah! Dad…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the tightly closed door suddenly opened.
A wave of foul odor hit them.
Feng Yuanxi retched and covered his mouth and nose, retreating in horror.
Jing Feng instinctively wanted to cover his nose too, but when he saw Feng Tianlan’s gloomy face, he held back.
Carefully, Jing Feng asked, “Master, why did you come out? Has your arcane power recovered?”
Just as he finished asking, he realized that his master’s complexion had worsened, and the gaze that fell upon him was as sharp as arrows.
“I’m done soaking!” Feng Tianlan said coldly.
It was not about recovering; it was about not soaking.
Jing Feng anxiously said, “Master, hasn’t the poison been cured yet? You should soak in the fish mint water a little longer!”
“No!”
Feng Tianlan angrily ordered, “Drain the fish mint water and bring a bucket of clean water!”
“Father, you can’t do that! The poison in your body has not been cured yet. You must soak in the fish mint water!”
Feng Yuanxi, covering his nose and mouth, stood at the courtyard gate and shouted.
Seeing his son keeping his distance, Feng Tianlan’s face darkened even more.
He was already emitting an unbearable stench, and now even his own son was repulsed by it. If he continued to soak any longer, one could only imagine the intensifying odor that would emanate from him.
“Go and change the water!” He commanded Jing Feng in a low voice.
“Don’t change it!” Feng Yuanxi also insisted.
Jing Feng’s heart was filled with bitterness as he anticipated another clash between his master and the young master.
“Father, as the saying goes, ‘Good medicine tastes bitter.’ Although fish mint stinks, your health is the most important. Don’t be stubborn, go back to your room quickly. If you find it stinky, just block your nose with something, and you’ll be fine.” Feng Yuanxi advised him with a concerned tone..
