"Do you get fat just from drinking water?" Feng Wu asked.
"Yes —"
Chaoge felt like crying at that question. "Xiao Wu, it's not me. Once, I didn't eat or drink anything for three days, and I ended up putting on 3kg! Tell me, how could there be such a terrifying thing? Every time I tried to lose weight, I kept getting fatter and fatter. Sometimes, I feel like I don't want to live anymore … "
Chaoge had been living a horrible life during the five years Feng Wu was gone. She felt like every day was a nightmare.
"You didn't make any progress in your cultivation either. Not only that, it regressed." Feng Wu frowned.
"Xiao Wu —" Chaoge felt like crying at that. "I don't know why, but after you left, every time I tried to cultivate, not only did I not make any progress, I even regressed. In the end, I stopped cultivating altogether, because the more I cultivated, the faster I lost —"
That was horrible!
"Do you think I'm being cursed?" Chaoge had been under a lot of pressure in the past few years.
It wouldn't have been so bad if she had been raised in a warm and peaceful home, but hers was a mess. She lived in a harsh environment, and it was even worse than Feng Wu's.
"It's not a curse. You've been poisoned." Feng Wu took a deep breath. "You've been poisoned by something called 'Retreating Powder.' Not only will you get fatter, your cultivation level will stagnate, and it'll even decrease."
"That sounds like a powerful poison. Who would do that to me?" Chaoge asked in bewilderment.
Feng Wu's eyes glinted coldly. "You came to see me off when I left the imperial capital. What did you drink?"
"Back then …" Chaoge couldn't remember anything else, but she remembered every moment she spent with Feng Wu. "I remember that I was thirsty and there was a bowl of water on your table. I picked it up and drank from it."
"Did it taste sweet and sour, with a hint of almond?"
"Yes!" Chaoge cried out in surprise. "Xiao Wu, how did you know?"
"If I'm guessing right, you took it on my behalf." Feng Wu closed her eyes. If Chaoge hadn't drunk that bowl of water, either she or her beautiful mother would have drunk it.
"Ah?" Chaoge couldn't bear the thought of Xiao Wu turning into this chubby girl. "Luckily, I drank it for you."
Fortunately, I helped you drink it …
Feng Wu took a deep breath. After five years of suffering, the first thing Chaoge said after learning the truth wasn't to complain or complain, but to rejoice that she had drunk it for him …
Feng Wu was so lucky to have such a friend!
"Don't worry, I can neutralize this poison," Feng Wu said solemnly.
Chaoge smiled brightly. "I knew Xiao Wu could do it."
In this world, there was nothing Xiao Wu couldn't do.
Chaoge was very confident in Feng Wu.
Feng Wu smiled bitterly. There were so many people around her who needed her protection. How could she not work hard? How could he not be powerful?
With a wave of her hand, a pale green dot flew into Chaoge's forehead.
Feng Wu let out a breath of relief when she saw Chaoge absorb the light.
Looking up, Feng Wu saw the painting of Inky Rain on the wall.
On the white paper, black ink splashed out like stars. There seemed to be no pattern to it.
"Do you think they're stupid?"
