Full-Level Rich Daughter Makes a Strong Comeback

Chapter 1005: Side Effects

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After listening to Ye Wanwan’s account, Ye Hongxuan’s expression turned grim. He immediately asked, “What about those pills? Have you finished them all?”

Knowing the effects of those pills, he didn’t feel joy or greed, but a terrible feeling instead. As an alchemist, he knew full well that no pill could increase one’s cultivation like that. Even if such a pill existed, the side effects would definitely be severe.

While observing Ye Hongxuan’s anxious expression, Ye Wanwan’s eyes revealed a hint of inner conflict. She bit her lip, then pointed towards her dressing table and said, “They’re in a wooden box in the drawer on the right side. I didn’t finish them all, there are two left.”

Originally, she had planned to take those two remaining pills once she felt better, to see if she could recover her cultivation. Even if it didn’t work, at least it could ease her physical pain.

These were the last of those strange pills, and even her grandfather didn’t know she had hidden two. She didn’t want to reveal them, but seeing her father’s anxious state, she decided to take them out.

Following her husband’s prompt, Lian Mengzhu quickly retrieved a small bottle from the dressing table.

Ye Hongxuan took the bottle, opened it, and saw two blood-red pills lying inside, their surface emanating an eerie glow. He sniffed more closely, his eyes widening in shock, panic evident on his face.

He turned to Ye Wanwan, a trace of urgency in his voice. “Wanwan, how many of these pills did you take?”

“I… I don’t know,” Ye Wanwan stammered, head lowered. “Grandfather gave me a lot of them and said they could quickly raise my cultivation level. I took almost all of them, just these two left.”

Upon hearing that, Ye Hongxuan’s expression visibly darkened. He immediately began carefully examining Ye Wanwan’s body. The more he checked, the worse his expression became.

After the examination, his brows were tightly knit, showing his great concern.

He immediately summoned all the Ye family’s physicians and had them examine Ye Wanwan’s body one by one.

Seeing the significant effort, Ye Wanwan felt no joy, only rising panic. She wasn’t naive – her father’s actions hinted at a problem with her health.

During this period of her bedrest and injuries, the family physicians checked her daily without finding any issues. But now, after her father spoke to them privately, they wore solemn expressions while reexamining her.

This change involuntarily filled her with panic. Especially since her father only did this after learning about the pills she took. She couldn’t help but wonder if there was something wrong with them.

In fact, she had always found those pills strange before. But the temptation of quickly raising her cultivation had caused her to ignore many unreasonable aspects.

Now, she was truly afraid something had happened to her.

At that moment, Ye Hongxuan stood in the corridor outside, his expression grim.

Beside him, Lian Mengzhu took a step forward, grasped his wrist, and asked in a trembling voice, “Hongxuan, did something happen to Wanwan?”

This was the daughter she had nurtured since childhood. Though not her biological child, Wanwan held a special place in Lian Mengzhu’s heart. In Lian Mengzhu’s eyes, Wanwan was like her own daughter. If something were to happen to her, she didn’t know if she could bear it.

Ye Hongxuan looked at Lian Mengzhu, his lips moving but saying nothing.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and said, “Don’t dwell on it too much for now. Things might not be as dire as they seem. Let’s discuss it after the doctors finish examining her.”

Lian Mengzhu wanted to speak further, but seeing her husband’s expression, she fell silent, anxiously waiting for the results.

Shortly after, the physicians came out. One stepped forward, representing the group, and shook his head at Ye Hongxuan. “Master, we’ve all conducted examinations and the results align with your own observations.”

Those words made Ye Hongxuan feel dizzy, causing him to step back.

Lian Mengzhu immediately supported him.

With her support, Ye Hongxuan managed to steady himself. He waved the physicians away, saying, “Okay, you can all leave now.”

He then headed into the room.

Uncertain about what had happened, Lian Mengzhu sensed the seriousness of the situation. Wanting to inquire further, she hesitated upon observing her husband’s actions, then promptly followed him inside.

At that moment, Ye Wanwan was sitting up in bed, her back against the headboard. Upon seeing her parents enter, she immediately asked, “Father, Mother, what’s happening? Is something wrong with my body?”

She was now convinced there was something wrong with her body. Even if her parents told her otherwise, she wouldn’t believe them.

Ye Hongxuan looked at Ye Wanwan and finally sighed. “Wanwan, I don’t know what’s up with those pills. I’ve never seen anything like them before. It can even be said that none of the Ye family’s alchemists or physicians have ever seen such pills. But I can confirm that the aftereffects of this pill are very severe.”

Hearing this, Ye Wanwan’s heart sank, her voice trembling as she asked, “What side effects?”

Ye Hongxuan looked at her and continued, “Before, since I didn’t know you had taken those pills, I didn’t check thoroughly. But when I examined you just now, I found your vitality is seriously diminished, and your body’s functions are getting worse. It’s not obvious yet, but your body has already started deteriorating slowly.”
