A faintly pungent scent wafted into Chong Yangzi's nose. Before this, it had been masked by the orchid-and-musk fragrance, so Chong Yangzi had not noticed it.
Moreover, that pungent smell should not have been there before. It had only reappeared after he waved his hand to clear the air. This alarmed Chong Yangzi greatly. He had clearly shut the door and activated the restrictions.
