Chapter 134 - 129: Side Effects
"...it really felt like being sliced and scorched, too painful to bear. And when I lay down to sleep and drank that bottle of elixir, it was as if a fire was burning up from inside my stomach, leaving me completely drained and nearly unable to move."
Downstairs, Lu Aiguo was pacing tirelessly behind Xia Yuan.
"I thought I wouldn’t be able to get up this morning. I really regretted it then, thinking I should’ve listened to my daughter. Shitou and I can endure this pain without issue, but it wasn’t right to let you and our daughter suffer like this. But waking up this morning, I felt that the hardship we’ve endured was so worthwhile. My whole body feels energetic, and it’s hard to describe how light and relaxed I am. Everything tastes amazing. It’s just unbearable not to be able to be with you."
Last night, because we were using the medicinal bath elixir, and had to take a dose afterward, we were completely drained and couldn’t move, so we put beds next to the bathtubs. We all just laid down and went to sleep.
"Three more months, my dear..." Lu Aiguo wailed.
Now that he saw the benefits, Lu Aiguo didn’t feel that the medicinal bath was torment anymore, but the fact that he couldn’t lie in the same bed with his wife for a whole three months was absolute torture.
At the door, Lu Yun, who had overheard her father, covered her mouth to stifle her laughter.
It did sound rather cruel...
