Chapter 843: 387 The Majesty of an Emperor (One More Chapter)_3 Chapter 843: 387 The Majesty of an Emperor (One More Chapter)_3 Gu Jiao’s body seemed to have more endurance than the emperor’s, as the effects of the medicine slowly began to take hold after fifteen minutes.

She didn’t know what kind of medicine she had ingested; all she knew was she felt very sleepy. Just before falling asleep, she looked at the handsome face close to her and suddenly clasped his hand.

She gripped it tightly, as if she was about to lose him.

Xiao Liulang’s Adam’s apple moved difficultly.

Afterward, Gu Jiao fell asleep on the table.

She had a long dream filled with places she wanted to go and things she liked, and the man she had seen before falling asleep was in her dreams as well.

She entered the dream in a lucid state, a skill she had trained for in the Organization in her previous life.

She had been injected with numerous types of hallucinogens and was required to remain conscious throughout.

Of course, she hadn’t been able to resist such strong effects of the drugs at the beginning, but each time she was tormented both physically and mentally, she learned a bit more.

She understood now what this medicine was all about; indeed, it was a kind of sedative containing Mandala, similar in effect to the hallucinogens she had been injected with in her previous life—some hallucinogens made one feel blissful, while others subjected one to torment and fear.

When the sedative took effect, the face one saw would recur in one’s dream. Those without special training wouldn’t remember their dream upon waking, but the feelings from the dream would linger in their subconscious.

If they saw the face from the dream again, it would evoke the feelings from the subconscious.

Gu Jiao could completely detach from those feelings, but ordinary people couldn’t. That’s why the drug had its effect.

Gu Jiao suspected that these two substances weren’t just called black medicine and white medicine; they probably had more specific names. However, it seemed Nan Shi Niang found it inconvenient to elaborate.

When Gu Jiao woke up, she was lying in Xiao Liulang’s arms.

She wasn’t sure whether she had moved closer to him or if Xiao Liulang had pulled her into his embrace, hmm, quite comfortable.

“Awake?” Xiao Liulang asked with a hoarse voice.

His back was soaked with cold sweat. Despite his calm appearance, only the devil knew the agony he had just endured.

“I took the black medicine,” Gu Jiao said with an indifferent face. “I had a nightmare, and from now on, whenever I see you, I’ll be reminded of it. I’m afraid I’ll start to dislike you.”

“Oh,” Xiao Liulang responded calmly, “then you should start by taking your hand out of my clothes.”

Someone’s hand, which was touching a pectoral muscle, froze: “…”

Ying~

Such medicine might be effective on ordinary people, but on a top Special Agent like Gu Jiao, who could drink hallucinogens like water, it had no effect.

But it seemed no further effect was needed.

With the killer assets of chest, waist, belly, legs, and a handsome face, Gu Jiao thought that her husband’s attributes were more potent than any sedative.

Xiao Liulang had actually noticed that the girl had taken the white medicine, but it seemed to have no effect on her. Although this was strange, considering that medicines vary from person to person, he came to terms with it.

He was indeed looking forward to the effect of the white medicine, but one shouldn’t be too greedy. It was already a tremendous stroke of luck that she didn’t ingest the wrong, black medicine.

After all, her luck has always been good.

Xiao Liulang couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.

Gu Jiao had already sat up straight, picking at her little ears with her hand.

Suddenly, he leaned towards her and his tall figure, accompanied by his scent, enveloped her in an instant.

Gu Jiao stared at him blankly only to see his slender, jade-like fingers gently pinching her chin, leaving a faint kiss on the corner of her lips.

Quick and light, yet it left behind an intensely hot breath.

Gu Jiao touched the corner of her lips that he had kissed: “Why did you kiss me?”

“It’s a reward,” his eyes deep, he returned to his chair, “for not choosing the wrong medicine, good job.”

“Oh,” Gu Jiao’s eyes whirled around, “just this as a reward?”

Seeing her unsatisfied expression, Xiao Liulang laughed softly: “What else do you want?”

Gu Jiao, with an air of righteousness, declared: “To watch you bathe.”

Xiao Liulang: “…”
