1376: Chapter 1335: Side Effects of the Blood Pill 1376: Chapter 1335: Side Effects of the Blood Pill Bringing the car to a steady stop, Lu Chuan was just about to get up when he suddenly felt his vision go black, almost losing consciousness.

He had no choice but to slump down over the steering wheel, clenching his teeth and gasping heavily.

Seeing this, Xiu Niang frowned deeply and asked urgently, “Lu Chuan, what’s wrong with you?”

“I…

I’m fine, it’s an old problem.”

Lu Chuan shook his head, his voice uncontrollably trembling.

It was happening again.

And this time, it was far worse than he had imagined.

For a moment, Lu Chuan even thought he was on the verge of passing out.

“What exactly is going on?”

“Not sure.

This has been happening often recently—random palpitations out of nowhere.

I’ve examined myself thoroughly but couldn’t find any issues.”

Lu Chuan exhaled deeply, trying to steady his heartbeat.

After swallowing two Calming Pills, the unsettling palpitations eased somewhat.

“How can there not be a cause?”

“I don’t understand it either, but that’s just how it is.

I…

I’ll be okay after a bit of rest.”

Pressing his fingers to his throbbing brow, Lu Chuan sat in the driver’s seat and panted for nearly ten minutes before the discomfort gradually faded.

“In your current state, are you sure you can handle traveling to the Island Country?”

“It won’t affect anything.

Don’t worry.”

Gazing at the sweat streaming down Lu Chuan’s forehead and his pale complexion, Xiu Niang hesitated, her lips slightly trembling.

Yet some words remained unsaid in the end.

…

Seated on the plane, Lu Chuan began meditating.

Xiu Niang, though eager to speak to him, refrained from disturbing him after witnessing his earlier agony.

She silently watched him, not stirring, until the plane landed.

“Phew…

You’ve been staring at me for hours.

Is there something you want to say?”

As they approached landing, Lu Chuan sighed deeply and opened his eyes to glance at Xiu Niang, whose expression froze for a moment.

Guiltily, she asked, “How…

how did you know I was looking at you?”

“Come on, you’re in the Nascent Soul Realm; of course, I sensed it through your aura.

Xiu Niang, aren’t we friends?

If there’s something on your mind, just say it straight.

There’s no need to act so cryptically.

You’ve been acting quite odd.

In my impression, you’re definitely not like this.”

“Oh?

Then in your impression, what kind of person am I supposed to be?”

“I think you’re quite free-spirited, but now you’ve changed.”

“Maybe a little, but it’s not wholly intentional on my part…

Lu Chuan, it’s actually all your fault.”

Confused, Lu Chuan asked back, “Why’s it my fault?”

“Do you remember the Blood Pill you crafted for me to reshape my body?”

“Of course.

Something wrong with the Blood Pill?”

“It’s not the pill—it’s your unique constitution.

Ever since then, images of you uncontrollably keep floating into my mind.”

Saying this, Xiu Niang gently held Lu Chuan’s hand, her gaze lingering on him, full of unspoken words.

“Can you understand what this feels like?”

“Wait, are you saying that consuming a Blood Pill made from my essence blood is causing people to hopelessly fall in love with me?

No way, maybe it’s just because I’m too attractive?”

“I wish that were the case.

At least then I’d have some room to maneuver.

But unfortunately, this is simply the reality.”

Listening to Xiu Niang’s words, Lu Chuan suddenly felt his scalp tingle.

It wasn’t the fear of yet another romantic complication.

No, Lu Chuan had just realized something alarming.

If what Xiu Niang said was true, then the same Blood Pill consumed by his mother-in-law…

…

Meanwhile, in the Ye Family of Luo City.

Li Yingnu sat up in bed, her face still flushed as she gently caressed the damp spots left on the mattress.

Biting her lower lip lightly, her eyes brimmed with embarrassment.

“Li Yingnu, how could you…

How could you be so shameless?

Lu Chuan is your daughter’s husband!”

After returning to the Ye Family, the relationship between Li Yingnu and Ye Jiaxin quickly warmed up.

After all, no matter what, they were mother and daughter, and the familial bond was something innate and undeniable.

Additionally, upon learning that both her mother and Ye Zhongshan had been saved by Lu Chuan’s efforts, Ye Jiaxin’s love for her own man grew indescribably deeper.

This ought to have been a happy situation.

Watching her precious daughter find joy ought to have made Li Yingnu feel pleased for her.

But strangely, over the past few days, Li Yingnu had been feeling increasingly unsettled.

Scenes of Lu Chuan filled her mind far too often, unable to be banished—a recurring echo.

And just now, she had even dreamed those kinds of dreams…

“What’s going on here?”

Her thoughts churned as there came a gentle knock at the door.

Flustered, Li Yingnu covered the damp spots on her sheets with her blanket, trying to keep her voice even.

“Who is it?”

“Mom, it’s me, Jiaxin.

Can I sleep with you tonight?”

Under usual circumstances, Li Yingnu certainly wouldn’t refuse such an opportunity to grow closer with her daughter.

But now, it wasn’t possible.

How could she explain to her daughter that she had been dreaming of her son-in-law, imagining unmentionable scenarios, leaving wet stains on the sheets?

Absolutely not!

Thinking to herself, Li Yingnu lightly bit her lower lip and replied helplessly, “Jiaxin, Mom’s feeling a bit unwell.

It seems my body hasn’t fully adapted yet, and I need some time alone to adjust.”

“What?

How could that be?

Let me call Lu Chuan and ask him to come check on you.”

“There’s no need!

I…

I’ll be fine.”

In her current state, seeing Lu Chuan was the last thing Li Yingnu wanted.

She feared she might do something disgraceful, something that would shame the family and earn her daughter’s hatred.

…

“So, you also gave your woman’s mother the same Blood Pill?”

“…

Are you sure you didn’t misunderstand?”

“What’s the big deal?

Worst-case scenario, you just take both mother and daughter—problem solved!

You’ve got so many women already; what’s one more or less?”

Covering her face with a giggle, Xiu Niang mocked gleefully, “Imagine it—mother and daughter serving one husband.

How exciting!

To my knowledge, only ancient emperors got to experience something like that.”

“That’s why Emperor Li Zhi didn’t live long!

Can you stop rubbing salt in the wound and help me think of a solution?”

“If I had a solution, I wouldn’t be suffering like this myself.

Alright, stop whining.

It’s time to move along.”

Sighing deeply, Lu Chuan followed after Xiu Niang as they left the airport.

Since he couldn’t figure out a fix, he decided not to dwell on it anymore.

Pushing aside the chaos in his mind, Lu Chuan focused on the matters at hand.

After considering his options, he decided to call Suzumiya Setsuna.

Since he was on her turf now, proper etiquette dictated he should pay her a visit.

Soon enough, the call connected.

Through the receiver came Suzumiya Setsuna’s excited voice.

Her tone was upbeat, though her spoken Mandarin remained slightly clumsy.

“Lu Chuan!

Why did you suddenly reach out to me?”

“I just arrived in the Island Country and thought it appropriate to ask the hostess for a proper welcome.

I hope it’s not too abrupt?”

“Lu Chuan!

You’re in the Island Country?

Not abrupt at all!

Where are you right now?

I’ll send someone to pick you up immediately!”
