154: Chapter 154: Detox Pill!

Another attack!

Tang Xiao was in extreme pain, unable to bear it.

Wu Jie dared not delay and immediately fetched medicine to hand over.

Bearing the pain, Tang Xiao slightly turned and gritted her teeth as she gave herself an injection.

Phew!

With a long breath, Tang Xiao slumped in the chair, devoid of strength.

Wu Jie put the bag back and covered Tang Xiao with his own thin blanket.

“Your attacks are becoming more frequent, almost once a day now!”

“It’s all your fault.

If it weren’t for our fight back then…

Ah, forget it, it’s my own fault!”

Tang Xiao closed her eyes and hugged herself tightly, feeling a bit cold.

The plane was still climbing, so the flight attendant couldn’t provide hot water service.

Wu Jie watched for a while and shook his head secretly.

Speaking of Tang Xiao’s recurring injury, he was also responsible.

If he hadn’t kissed her after the car accident, not sticking his tongue out, he wouldn’t have angered her.

Without angering her, she wouldn’t have been provoked to attack, which wouldn’t have caused the injury to recur…

What a cycle of cause and effect!

Wu Jie closed his eyes to rest, browsing the system’s store.

Marrow Cleansing Pill, guaranteed cure for the illness.

Too bad…

it costs five million energy points, too expensive!

“Poverty really has no rights!”

Wu Jie lamented in secret, suddenly wondering if there was a medicine that could reduce the frequency of attacks and ease the pain.

He immediately summoned the system.

“Based on Tang Xiao’s condition and the host’s balance of energy points, it is recommended to use the Detox Pill and Pain Relief Pill.”

“The Detox Pill dissolves toxic substances in the body, including foreign objects, and can gradually reduce the bullet in her spine…”

“The Pain Relief Pill numbs nerve conduction, especially targeting the painful area to numb it, greatly reducing the sensation of pain…”

Since they only treat symptoms and not the root cause, they can’t cure her completely.

That’s why they’re much cheaper compared to the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

The Detox Pill costs five thousand energy points per pill.

The Pain Relief Pill is even cheaper, only three thousand.

Since Tang Xiao has her own pain relief injections, there’s no need to buy the Pain Relief Pill.

The Detox Pill isn’t bad.

It not only helps detox and eliminate impurities from the body but can also reduce the bullet bit by bit, preventing further damage to the spinal column.

“If she keeps taking Detox Pill, could it completely dissolve the bullet?” Wu Jie curiously asked.

System: “Theoretically possible, but it’s estimated to take at least several thousand Detox Pills.”

Several thousand pills?

Damn!

Five thousand per pill, that’s not even worth saving up energy points for the Marrow Cleansing Pill!

But…

Five million energy points!

That’s even harder to earn than five million yuan.

And even if he earned enough, was it worth spending so many energy points to save this emotionless, fake wife by his side?

Ding-dong!

Tang Xiao pressed the call button, and Wu Jie immediately snapped back to reality.

“Hello, how may I assist you?”

“Could I trouble you for a cup of warm water?”

Tang Xiao asked, sounding somewhat weak.

Hot water?

A chance has come!

Wu Jie quickly bought a Detox Pill and timed it so that when the flight attendant brought the water back, he dropped it into the cup.

“Here you are, your warm water!”

The flight attendant smiled as she offered the cup of water.

Just as Tang Xiao reached out to take it, she said in astonishment:

“Did you get the wrong order?

I didn’t ask for coffee.”

“Ah?”

The flight attendant looked down and saw that the water in the glass was muddy yellow and turbid, indeed resembling instant coffee.

“Oh…

I’m sorry, I’ll go and get you another cup right away!”

The flight attendant apologized with a smile and turned to go get another.

Wu Jie was shocked.

He had been careless!

I didn’t expect the Detox Pill to change the color of the water to murky once dissolved!

If this gets taken back, how am I going to treat Tang Xiao’s injuries?

“Don’t take it away!

I want it, I’m actually thirsty!”

Wu Jie hurriedly called out to the flight attendant.

A Detox Pill that cost 5,000 energy points, how could he not feel the pinch?

“Sure, please enjoy!”

The flight attendant handed the cup to Wu Jie and then immediately returned.

“What’s the difference between coffee and hot water?

If you’re thirsty, just drink it!” Wu Jie kindly suggested.

Tang Xiao rolled her eyes, “Coffee keeps me awake.

If you’re thirsty, drink it yourself!”

In the meantime, the flight attendant came back.

This time, the glass contained water that was clear and pure.

Once Tang Xiao received it, she immediately drank it all but still felt thirsty.

“Excuse me, could I have another…”

“Having the flight attendant run back and forth, isn’t that bothersome?

Just drink mine!”

Wu Jie said, annoyed.

Tang Xiao didn’t care anymore, she took it and quickly drank it all.

After collecting the two cups, the flight attendant asked with a smile, “And for you, sir, would you like some more water?”

“No need for now, gotta save room for the midnight snack!”

The flight attendant had not gone far when Tang Xiao muttered,

“That water wasn’t coffee, it tasted a bit bitter!”

“Probably some kind of tea!” Wu Jie replied offhandedly.

Tang Xiao didn’t say anything more, just clutched the thin blanket and rested.

Wu Jie glanced at her sideways, feeling anxious.

A Detox Pill worth 5,000 bucks a pop, what kind of miraculous effect will it have?

As time ticked by every second, Tang Xiao seemed to fall asleep.

“Could it be a fake medicine?”

Wu Jie was muttering to himself.

Suddenly, Tang Xiao opened her eyes wide, clutched her stomach, and bent over to get up.

“What’s wrong?

Period cramps?” Wu Jie quickly asked.

Tang Xiao replied, “I need to go to the bathroom, move quickly!”

“Bring your sanitary pad just in case, better safe than sorry!”

Wu Jie handed over the handbag and stepped into the aisle.

Tang Xiao hurried towards the bathroom with her bag.

Soon, the flight attendants began pushing carts and distributing midnight snacks and drinks.

Unbeknownst to everyone, after they had their fill and the flight attendants collected the trash and the cabin lights were turned off, Tang Xiao was still not back.

“Damn it!

That Detox Pill isn’t poisonous, is it?”

Wu Jie couldn’t sit still anymore.

Just as he got up, Tang Xiao came back from the bathroom, moving slowly, with a heavy expression on her face.

“What took you so long?”

Tang Xiao weakly shook her head, and after returning to her seat, she sighed and said,

“Got diarrhea, could that tea have been a laxative?”

In astonishment, Wu Jie said, “How could it be?

Everyone else is eating and drinking just fine, aren’t they?”

“Then it must be period cramps,” Tang Xiao looked sideways at Wu Jie, “Your Acupuncture Skill isn’t up to par, you said it could treat period cramps, but it still hurts so much!”

“To see results after just one try, wouldn’t that be something?

When we get to the hotel, I’ll give you another session, oh no, I mean acupuncture, to alleviate the pain!”

Tang Xiao’s gaze turned frosty, “Move!”

“What’s up?”

“It hurts!”

…

Late at night.

On a rideshare business car leaving the airport.

Tang Xiao was no longer experiencing stomach pain, but instead felt incredibly hungry, as if she could devour an entire cow.

So, as soon as they got settled in the hotel, she called out to go eat a midnight snack.

Unfortunately, Wu Jianguo and his two companions had already eaten their fill on the plane, and the hotel’s dining services had stopped for the night, so it was just Wu Jie accompanying her out in the middle of the night.

Unexpectedly, just as they stepped out of the hotel’s lobby, they stumbled upon Meng Sihua, getting out of an expensive Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Two Mercedes sedans parked behind, with quite a few strong and burly bodyguards stepping out.

By Meng Sihua’s side was none other than the infamous Evil Man Xu Feng from Liuli City, nicknamed ‘Mad Xu’.

Xu Feng recognized Tang Xiao at a glance, his thin lips curling into a sinister angle as his eyes filled with mockery.

With a playful sneer, Xu Feng stepped ahead of Meng Sihua and loudly called out,

“Long time no see, President Tang.

I didn’t expect you to actually be alive and able to come to Liuli City.

I thought you were paralyzed!”
