Dai Yaoyao's residence was not far from the Qin Manor's Martial Hall, just across the street. The house was not large, but it was clean and elegant, somewhat at odds with her enchanting and changeable appearance.

Xu Wuzhou sat in the living room, a pretty maid brewing tea for him. After Dai Yaoyao returned, she went straight to the rear courtyard.

...

In the secret chamber of the rear courtyard, a young man was chained to the wall, and Dai Yaoyao stood in front of him.

"What do you want to do?"

The young man looked at the girl in front of him, her light blue dress outlining her exquisite and alluring curves.

But he only glanced at her before forcing himself to look away. This enchantress was not someone he could gaze at recklessly; he'd have nowhere to complain if his eyes were gouged out.

"I'm planning to release you. And I'm also going to help you detoxify the poison in you," Dai Yaoyao said to the young man.

The young man's heart tightened. What scheme was she up to now? This enchantress was unpredictable, just like this time; he merely glanced at her and was inexplicably tied up. They had no past grievances.

Yu Feng regretted it deeply. After being kicked out by his father and poisoned with that disgusting toxin, he came to Lin'an City to avoid familiar faces, thinking he wouldn't run into anyone he knew. Who would have thought he'd encounter this enchantress?

Seeing the young man not answering, Dai Yaoyao asked, "Don't you want to leave?"

"What do you want from me? Just say it directly, okay? You're scaring me," the young man said nervously.

"Am I that scary? I'm very kind!" Dai Yaoyao replied to the young man.

The young man kept silent. Your background, your methods, your cultivation techniques—none of them are related to kindness. Do you think the title of enchantress is just a baseless rumor?

Even though I'm reckless, I wouldn't dare act recklessly in front of you.

"Heh, even the reckless Yu Feng has moments of fear," Dai Yaoyao laughed.

Yu Feng remained silent.

"I admire your reckless skills. That's why I'm really going to let you go," Dai Yaoyao said.

She captured Yu Feng because he knew her. Her heart meridian was injured, and if Yu Feng spread the news of her presence in Lin'an, it would be troublesome and dangerous for her.

But now, her heart meridian was eighty percent healed. Even if Xu Wuzhou didn't treat her, she could fully recover with some time.

With this, she no longer needed to worry about Yu Feng spreading the news. Although Yu Feng was reckless, his background was not simple.

"What do you need me to do?" Yu Feng asked Dai Yaoyao. She couldn't possibly release him for no reason.

"I don't need you to do anything, just letting you go. Moreover, I can help you detoxify, but that requires a promise from you," Dai Yaoyao said.

"You can detoxify this poison?" Yu Feng asked.

"As long as you promise to do one thing for me in the future, I'll help you detoxify," Dai Yaoyao said. "Do you agree?"

"Agree! I agree! Quick, quick, detoxify me," Yu Feng hurriedly said to Dai Yaoyao. As for what he had to do, it didn't matter. Nothing was more important than getting rid of this poison.

Yu Feng was driven to despair by the poison. He had merely slept with his fiancée's bestie, and then with the bestie's bestie, and even with the bestie's sister...

Then, his father poisoned him to keep him away from women. The poison wasn't deadly, but it was disgusting. The symptoms were identical to a venereal disease, so which girl would want to be near him? He didn't even dare to visit the brothel, fearing the girls would beat him out.

How could he live without women? He couldn't accept it.

"You dare agree to me without asking what the promise is. Your reputation as a reckless youth is well-deserved," Dai Yaoyao said, looking at Yu Feng. There weren't many people in the world who would so easily agree to her request.

"That's not important! When will you detoxify me?" Yu Feng asked urgently. The most important thing was to have women willing to be close to him. What else mattered?

"Follow me," Dai Yaoyao said, untying the ropes.

...

Dai Yaoyao brought someone out and had Xu Wuzhou take a look.

The person had cauliflower-like red spots on his body and neck, some of which were ulcerated, looking quite shocking.

"Can it be cured?" Dai Yaoyao had confidence in Xu Wuzhou. After all, he could even heal her heart injury, but she wasn't sure about the poison Yu Feng's father used.

"It's a Yin Evil Toxin, dispersed throughout the body and concentrated on the skin surface. This causes the skin to be yin-evil, and the body undergoes a self-regulating yin-yang process. The yin-evil here causes the vital energy and blood, which are yang forces, to accumulate and neutralize it. When the toxin is stubborn and can't be neutralized, it leads to red spots and even ulceration," Xu Wuzhou explained.

"Can it be cured?" Yu Feng asked anxiously, also wondering who this person was that Dai Yaoyao invited to detoxify him.

"Silver needles can alleviate it, but to fully recover, medicinal herbs are needed to detoxify the Yin Evil Toxin," Xu Wuzhou said.

"So it can be cured!" Yu Feng was overjoyed. "Come, come, alleviate it first. Don't worry about the herbs; I'll definitely get them for you."

Xu Wuzhou looked at Dai Yaoyao, and seeing her nod, he applied the needles to Yu Feng.

The needle treatment temporarily adjusted the yin-yang balance in his body, and Yu Feng found that most of the red spots on his body had disappeared. He was overjoyed, "Hahaha, I can finally breathe in the scent of women again."

Xu Wuzhou wrote a prescription and handed it to Dai Yaoyao, saying, "Bring these herbs, and I guarantee a full recovery in two days. Three hundred taels of silver, hand it over."

Dai Yaoyao tossed a bag of silver to Xu Wuzhou, playfully saying, "You can't charge such high prices in the future."

Yu Feng watched this scene, stunned, and looked at Dai Yaoyao, "You spent three hundred taels to detoxify me?"

Seeing Dai Yaoyao nod with a smile, Yu Feng almost cursed.

Are you kidding me? This is a poison my father used, and you're telling me it can be cured for three hundred taels? And you actually forced me to promise something for this, is my promise only worth three hundred taels? You're making too much as a middleman.

And is this young man a fool? Anyone who can cure my father's poison must have extraordinary medical skills, so how can he be so clueless?

Yu Feng's eyes questioned Dai Yaoyao: Where did you find this fool?

Dai Yaoyao understood Yu Feng's look and just smiled. She suddenly wanted to know Xu Wuzhou's reaction when he realized the true value of his medical skills.

Yu Feng wisely kept silent, wondering if he could become a middleman to earn the difference in the future.

"In two days, you have the Grand Competition, right? Are you planning to make a stunning debut this time?" Dai Yaoyao asked Xu Wuzhou, "Are you ready to take over Lin'an?"

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

"..." Xu Wuzhou thought to himself, I'm not taking over Lin'an, but he said, "Haha, this needs careful planning. Don't expose my ambitions, the time isn't ripe yet."

"I understand what you mean, waiting for the right moment to take Lin'an City in one go. Haha, I was going to say, if you need help, I can lend you a hand," Dai Yaoyao said.

Yu Feng listened, feeling chills all over. He stared blankly at Xu Wuzhou and Dai Yaoyao: What are these two planning? Taking over Lin'an City to become king? Are they crazy! Lin'an City may be insignificant, but the significance it represents is immense, even terrifying.

From the enchantress's words, it seemed the one leading the takeover of Lin'an was this young man.

Yu Feng stared blankly at Xu Wuzhou, wondering if this guy was even more reckless than him.
