"Look, that's how it is."
Xu Xiaoshou spread his hands before the two girls. "Don't be fooled by the high grade of the spirit herbs here. They're all mutated varieties, and their mutations have veered toward aphrodisiac effects."
"So, hiding within this White Bone Gate, not only do we need to avoid White Skeleton's attacks, we also need to be on guard against the medicinal potency drifting through the air."
"It'd be best to use spiritual essence to seal it off. Your entire body, that kind of seal."
At the entrance to the White Bone Gate.
Yu Zhiwen's face had flushed like a red peony.
She had never expected that after entering Spirit-Melting Marsh, the greatest threat would not be the White Skeleton that had already arrived, but the fragrance of these spirit herbs.
After noticing the quality of the spirit herbs here earlier, she had even deliberately taken several extra breaths.
No wonder...
She secretly raised her eyes for a glance at Xu Xiaoshou. Seeing the faint dark-red mark still lingering on his face, Yu Zhiwen swiftly lowered her head again, unable to utter a word.
How mortifying!
Mu Zixi stood rooted at the entrance.
Though there was now a reasonable explanation, these words had come from Xu Xiaoshou's mouth. Could she believe them? Believe that ghost!
"Why am I fine?" she demanded indignantly.
"How would I know you..."
Xu Xiaoshou shot his junior sister a strange look.
The medicinal potency was extraordinarily fierce. Even he had fallen for it when caught off guard.
If not for the Breathing Method, he might already have become Little Fish Number Two.
But Mu Zixi...
She clearly had not taken the slightest precaution and must have inhaled plenty of medicinal vapor.
Yet nothing had happened to her at all!
"Your constitution, perhaps."
