"Hehe... It's been a year, and you've become quite mischievous, little Xian'er!"
In the early morning, in Nangong Xian'er's boudoir, Ye Shuanghua and the other five women who had dispersed the night before gathered again. They stripped the mistress of the room naked and pressed her onto the soft couch. Xiang Shengnan straddled Nangong Xian'er's soft, boneless waist, her sinister hands grabbing and squeezing her breasts with a savage grin.
Having just finished her cultivation, Nangong Xian'er was still in a daze when she saw her five best friends pinning her to the bed and sealing her meridians and acupoints. She was completely dumbfounded, but when she came to her senses, she was furious.
"You bastards! You just got a favor from me last night, and you've already turned your back on me in less than a day! You're repaying kindness with enmity!"
While angrily cursing, Nangong Xian'er struggled desperately, but unfortunately all her meridians and acupoints were sealed, and even her internal energy and blood were suppressed. In addition, her five bitch best friends were not weak, so she couldn't break free for a while.
But this only made her angrier. She had given these bastards a huge benefit just last night, and now, only half a night later, they were turning their backs on her!
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have given the Body Refinement- refining techniques to these despicable people, and she wouldn't have even chosen them as allies in the first place.
" Xian'er, the competition is almost here, we..."
Just then, Wang Hao pushed open the door and walked in, but before he could finish speaking, he saw the extremely absurd scene on the bed, especially Nangong Xian'er's completely naked state, which left him completely dumbfounded once again.
"Uh, sorry to interrupt, please continue!"
After realizing what was happening, Wang Hao decisively left the room and politely closed the door behind him.
"Young people these days really know how to have fun!"
Shaking his head, Wang Hao decided to go to the competition venue first to wait for the start of today's competition.
After all, starting today, there will be no more elimination rounds like yesterday's first round; instead, it will turn into Masamune one-on-one battle.
This kind of battle best demonstrates the strength of those young talents. If they encounter a formidable opponent, they will surely reveal all their hidden trump cards.
Although his Heavenly Eye was powerful, it could only see through the opponent's current ultimate techniques; it couldn't see what the opponent hadn't used yet.
Therefore, every fight in this great battle was invaluable to him and could not be missed.
Watching Wang Hao leave, Nangong Xian'er was once again on the verge of tears.
That's it, there's no way to clear my name now, even if I jumped into the Endless Sea!
"Get out of the way!"
Taking a deep breath, Nangong Xian'er's expression turned cold; she was truly angry.
Now Ye Shuanghua and the other four women also realized something was wrong. After hesitating for a moment, Dongfang Mingyue, who was holding Nangong Xian'er's left hand, tentatively asked, "Don't you know about the side effects of that kind of medicinal bath?"
"How would I know about the side effects if I've never used it? Wait, what side effects?"
Nangong Xian'er was still very angry, but she was exceptionally intelligent and quickly figured out what had happened.
"Sisters, let Xian'er go and enjoy the treatment we gave her last night!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Xiang Shengnan grinned again, jumped off Nangong Xian'er's waist, and casually took out a large wooden bucket containing a pre-prepared medicinal liquid.
This was the medicinal bath that Song Jiaojiao prepared for them as soon as they climbed out of the tub this morning. It was exactly the same as the one they used last night, because they wanted their bitch best friend, Nangong Xian'er, to experience the inhuman ordeal they went through last night.
Although this bitch acted as if she knew nothing, who knows if she was just putting on an act? After all, she came from the Desire Dao and is a master of deception.
"No, please don't..."
Realizing that the medicinal bath might really have a big problem, Nangong Xian'er struggled even more, but unfortunately, her whole body was suppressed inside and out, and in the end, she was still forced into the bath by Ye Shuanghua and the other four women.
--
As soon as the body was immersed in the medicinal liquid, it didn't feel anything at first, but after ten breaths, it felt as if countless steel needles were piercing into the body through every pore and wreaking havoc inside.
At this moment, her body's sensitivity seemed to have been heightened to an extreme. The inhuman pain made Nangong Xian'er open her cherry lips, but she could not utter a sound. Her fair Ruyu body convulsed and trembled continuously in the medicinal liquid.
"Alright, time is running out, get her out!"
Half an incense stick later, Ye Shuanghua, the eldest of the five women, spoke up, after all, they also knew the importance and urgency of the matter.
The most important thing right now is to participate in this year's Young Heaven's Chosen Tournament and achieve a good ranking.
We'll teach Nangong Xian'er a lesson today; we can't let it interfere with the competition.
After lying on the soft couch for a while and finally recovering a little, Nangong Xian'er sprang up with a swift movement, grabbed the dress from the headboard, and quickly put it on.
Ignoring the matter of those five despicable best friends, she slipped to the bathtub and looked at the blood-red liquid inside, her pretty face displaying a complex mix of emotions.
She realized she had been deceived by that blockhead again; it turned out he had no good intentions in giving her the prescription in the first place.
Fortunately, she was stubborn and didn't use this medicinal bath to accelerate her cultivation, otherwise she would have really been ruined.
She had only experienced it for a short time, yet it felt as if she had been torn to pieces; the inhuman pain was enough to drive a person mad.
To fully absorb this medicinal liquid, one must stay inside for at least three Tokiomi.
She truly couldn't imagine how those five despicable best friends had endured those three Tokiomi; no wonder they had all come to cause her trouble so early in the morning.
"My sister was wrong this time, but I don't want you to do this again!"
Taking a deep breath, Nangong Xian'er sincerely apologized to Xiang Shengnan and the other four women, while also issuing a serious warning; she was truly angry this time!
After saying that, without Xiang Shengnan five women to respond, she lifted her delicate foot and prepared to go to the competition venue. However, as if she remembered something, she got up and filled a teapot full of medicinal liquid with the liquid.
This debt cannot be left unresolved!
Xiang Shengnan and the other five women followed her out of their boudoir with expressionless faces, heading together to the competition venue, while experiencing the changes in their physical bodies as they walked.
It must be admitted that the medicinal bath was powerful, especially when the Body Refinement technique was activated at the same time. The effect was simply heaven-defying. In just one session, their physical cultivation level was raised to the Second Tier level.
Although their physical strength was already at the peak of the First Tier, it was still very difficult to break through the bottleneck of the First Tier. According to their estimates, they would need to break through to the Fourth Tier and cultivate hard for one or two years.
But now, thanks to the combination of that Body Refinement technique and the medicinal liquid, they broke through in just three Tokiomi.
Most importantly, this rapid breakthrough has no hidden dangers yet; at least, they haven't sensed any potential problems.
This is absolutely incredible!
Of course, it would be even more perfect if that liver-wracking side effect could be removed!
On the other side of the competition venue, less than half Tokiomi after Wang Hao arrived, Great Emperor Li Daozong of Huaxia and Wang Chen Zhan of Carefree King arrived, and the second round of the competition began.
The crystal tablet will randomly select a player to compete on stage by spitting out a pair of light points.
Those who survived the first round of the massive elimination tournament were all formidable opponents. The one-on-one battles also left them with few reservations, resulting in a brutal and deadly fighting style with a constant stream of deadly moves.
If the referee hadn't been a Sixth Tier expert specially invited by the Huaxia royal family, who always stepped in to save lives at crucial moments, it might have really resulted in a death.
Meanwhile, Wang Hao, sitting in the audience seats outside, watched with great interest, secretly thinking that he hadn't made a mistake coming to this competition.
"My lord, have some tea to soothe your throat!"
Just as Wang Hao was watching intently, Nangong Xian'er and the other six women walked over. Nangong Xian'er, who was in the lead, set out a tea set like a virtuous wife and loving mother and gently poured Wang Hao a cup of tea.
Meanwhile, Xiang Shengnan and the other five women had strange expressions, because they knew that the teapot didn't contain tea at all, but rather a medicinal liquid taken from the bath tub.
That Nangong Xian'er actually tried to trick that guy into drinking it; that's just too cruel!
They were nearly driven to the brink of collapse by just a simple medicinal bath; if they had actually ingested it, they would have been instantly annihilated!
"Kindness!"
Wang Hao, who was intently watching the battle on the stage, didn't bother to think too much. He casually replied and took the teacup, drinking it all in one gulp.
All he could think about now was the secret techniques those people had used; tea and beautiful women were just fleeting thoughts.
Watching Wang Hao drink it all in one gulp, Nangong Xian'er smiled with satisfaction. She then waited quietly, but as time passed, a look of shock and bewilderment gradually appeared on her pretty face. The five women beside her, including Xiang Shengnan, also looked incredulous.
Logically speaking, taking those medicines directly should have caused even more extreme pain, so why was this guy in front of me completely unresponsive, without even a change in expression?
"Huh? When did you guys get here?"
During a break between matches, Wang Hao noticed Nangong Xian'er and the other girls beside him, leaving the stunned girls even more speechless.
"Wow! That's thoughtful!"
Wang Hao glanced at the strange expressions on the women's faces with a puzzled look, but he didn't bother to think about it. He twitched his nose a couple of times, then turned his gaze to the teapot placed in front of Nangong Xian'er. He picked it up and drank the medicinal liquid inside in one gulp.
"The flavor is a bit bland!"
Smack his lips, Wang Hao gave an evaluation of the medicinal liquid in the teapot, then took out an extra-large kettle from his storage magic treasure, casually picked up a teacup, poured a full cup of the scarlet, viscous medicinal liquid into it, and then drank it down in one gulp with relish.
This scene left Nangong Xian'er and the other girls speechless, because they realized that the cup of scarlet, viscous liquid they had just drunk was the same medicinal bath they had used before, only it was many times more concentrated.
The diluted medicinal bath alone almost crippled them, but this guy actually took it directly, and it was this concentrated version at that.
What kind of monster is this?
"That stuff you've been drinking all this time?"
Her face was slightly distorted as she looked at the oversized water bottle that Wang Hao had placed to the side; she was very familiar with this water bottle.
Because this deadbeat had been frequently taking out this water jug to drink from lately, and the medicinal liquid inside was prepared by Song Jiaojiao, whom he had personally instructed to do.
She hadn't paid much attention before, but today she discovered that the kettle was filled with concentrated medicinal liquid.
No, it wasn't a concentrated version, but rather the original version of the medicine; the medicinal baths they used were simply diluted versions.
"Didn't I tell you? This medicinal liquid is meant to be drunk, and it's at least ten times more effective than a diluted medicinal bath!"
Turning his head blankly, Wang Hao remembered that he had given instructions when he gave away that Body Refinement technique and the matching prescription half a year ago!
"..."
Nangong Xian'er was utterly speechless. Only then did she recall that this guy had indeed mentioned this matter before, but she had never taken it to heart, much less used that kind of drug to aid her cultivation.
"Oh, and don't add any random perfumes or anything like that at the end; it can easily ruin the medicine's effectiveness."
At this moment, a pair of selected contestants came onto the stage. Wang Hao's gaze immediately turned to them, and at the same time, as if he remembered something, he casually gave them some instructions.
The medicine in the teapot had a fragrance that was exactly the same as the girl's own scent.
He knew that girls loved beauty and would often add flower petals and perfume to their bath water, trying to marinate themselves like pickled vegetables.
This is also why women have a fragrance. The difference is that the young ladies on Earth before the transmigration used cosmetics to enhance their scent, while in this world, chemical products haven't appeared yet. They use pure, natural, and pollution-free items like flower petals and nectar.
These words startled Nangong Xian'er at first, then her pretty face turned red with embarrassment, wishing she could disappear into the ground. Meanwhile, Xiang Shengnan and the other women, who had remained silent, had even more strange expressions.
They remembered that the medicinal liquid in the bathtub had been used by Nangong Xian'er, so it could be considered bathwater, and the medicinal liquid in the teapot came from that used bathwater...
