Chapter 249: Incredible Antidote

Hong Yao, however, didn’t take his words to heart.

Children are often like this, blindly confident in their parents, always thinking their parents are the most powerful.

Gu Xiaonan sensed their skepticism but didn’t argue. He urged them to consume the antidote pills.

Between two fingers, Hong Yao held the black pill, smiling as she said, “Well, whether this pill can detoxify or not, it probably won’t make things worse than they are now. At worst, it’s a poison targeting the heart. Better to die early and be reborn.”

She placed the antidote pill in her mouth.

After a moment, a hint of surprise flickered in her eyes.

“The poison… is neutralized?”

Zhou Qingyu also wore a puzzled expression. “1 can control arcane power now!”

As part of his scheme to seize their arcane power, Qitian Yu had administered pills that could trigger the generation of arcane power, regardless of their cultivation efforts. Even without active practice, their bodies would generate arcane power, but the medication had control over it, preventing them from harnessing it freely.

But now, they could utilize their arcane power.

The other women, eager, swallowed the antidote pills.

“It’s really working!”

“Mine too!”

“What kind of incredible antidote is this? It’s remarkable!”

The previously deathly quiet chamber suddenly became lively.

Only those few women who were half-lifeless, leaning against the cage or lying on the ground, remained unmoving.

The sounds around seemed not to enter their ears.

Gu Xiaonan patted Xiao Bai and said, “Xiao Bai, it’s up to you. Please feed them the antidote pills.”

“Squeak squeak!”

Xiao Bai touched down on the ground, its upper body lifting as it tapped its small chest with a paw. Then, it lowered its front legs, grasped an antidote pill with its mouth, entered a cage, and gently placed the pill into the mouth of a woman with a vacant gaze.

The other four followed the same pattern.

After completing the task, Xiao Bai nimbly left the cage and jumped back into Gu Xiaonan’s embrace.

Gu Xiaonan praised it with a smile, “Xiao Bai, you’re amazing!”

Saying that, he placed a spirit pill into its mouth.

The pill dissolved instantly, transforming into spiritual energy that spread throughout its limbs.

Xiaobai squinted its eyes in contentment.

“Beautiful sister, please wait for a while. I’m going to sneak in and steal the key to save you now!”

Seeing how potent Gu Xiaonan’s antidote pill was, Hong Yao and the others speculated that his background was far from simple.

However, he appeared too young, causing them to worry.

“Please be extremely cautious. If you’re caught, don’t worry about us anymore. Run as far as you can!”

“Don’t worry, the Ugly Prince is currently severely poisoned. He won’t have the time to bother with me for now.”

As for those guards in the prince’s residence, he’d take them on one by one! They would need to train for another hundred years before they could capture him!

After Gu Xiaonan left with Xiao Bai, the chamber fell back into silence.

After a while, a woman in yellow clothes whispered, “Do you think Xiaonan will come back?”

“The Fifth Prince’s mansion is heavily guarded. He entered by mistake, and those people must be searching for him. This journey seems to have more risks than benefits,” Zhou Qingyu said with a solemn tone.

“All, I hope Xiaonan won’t get caught!” Another woman had a worried expression.

The young boy was so adorable and courageous. Even if they felt the hope was slim, they were very appreciative of his intention to rescue them.

Amidst the women’s concerns and prayers, Gu Xiaonan climbed back to the previous room.

“Xiao Bai, you stay here and keep watch. If any troublemakers come in to bother the lovely ladies, use your paws to claw at their eyes!” Gu Xiaonan instructed, his concern for the girls in the room clearly visible. He spoke with a solemn tone.

Xiao Bai nodded.

Don’t worry, little master, i’ll protect them and wait for your return!

The owner and his furry companion shared a paw shake before Gu Xiaonan exited the room.

He crouched on the rooftop, scanned his surroundings, and spotted a group of guards passing not far away. He quickly lowered his head.

After a short while, he raised his head once more, ensuring the coast was clear, and then gracefully jumped down from the rooftop to the courtyard below.
