Chapter 240 – Taking Medicine
Baili Gucheng walked to Yang Lu's bedside and sat down, solemnly receiving the pill in Xue Qiming's hands. He closed his eyes and took several deep breaths, his hand holding the pill trembling slightly.
Everyone could see that Baili Gucheng was nervous, but they held their breath and waited quietly. After so many days of perseverance, the moment of truth had finally arrived.
Baili Gucheng steadied himself and slowly extended his hand, bringing the pill to Yang Lu's lips. Just as he was about to feed her the medicine, a thunderous explosion suddenly erupted in the distance.
Boom!
The sound was like a lightning bolt crashing down. Baili Gucheng's hand trembled violently, almost dropping the medicine to the ground. The others all turned their heads toward the direction of the noise.
"It's the catapults," Ye Beizhi announced calmly, "It's starting."
As soon as he said this, everyone realized the war was beginning.
Baili Gucheng seemed even more anxious now. His normally steady hand began trembling again.
Growing impatient, Tang Jinnian snatched the medicine from his hand.
Baili Gucheng was shocked and furious. "What are you doing?!" he demanded.
But Tang Jinnian ignored whatever Baili Gucheng was saying. With one hand, he pinched Yang Lu's jaw, and with the other, he immediately fed her the pill. Yang Lu's throat moved slightly, and the Transcendence Stone went down into her stomach.
