In the blink of an eye, the night passed.
“Hmm…” The moment Stella woke up, she noticed Darryl sat by her bed. She was touched, and she asked gently, “Haven't you slept for the entire night?”
Darryl nodded with a nonchalant expression. A night without sleep was nothing to a cultivator of his level.
Then, Darryl took the elixir and said, “Come, take the antidote.”
“Uh…”
Stella trembled in delight and surprise. “This elixir is the antidote to the Corpse Flower poison?”
When Darryl nodded, Stella did not hesitate and immediately swallowed the elixir.
Stella could feel a warm flow spread throughout her entire body from her energy field; it felt unspeakably relieved and pleasant. Her spirit immediately lifted as well.
“Even if you have taken the antidote, you need to recuperate for three days to recover completely. Do you understand?” Darryl smiled as he spoke to her.
Darryl was relieved. He would not regret his decision to leave after he had cured Stella.
“Hmm!” Stella nodded obediently. She was filled with admiration and gratitude. “Thank you…”
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Someone knocked on the door. They could hear the four brothers as they joked outside the door.
“Little Junior Sister, Little Brother-in-law, are you two awake?”
“We have breakfast for you.”
“Are you two awake yet?”
Stella was embarrassed when she heard them. Darryl felt awkward as well.
Those four men truly had no filter.
Then, Stella snapped back to her senses. She asked calmly, “Where is my father?”
“He went out; he said he wanted to find a way to cure you!” First Scope answered from outside the door.
Stella frowned. She wanted to tell her father that she had consumed the antidote that Darryl made. However, he was not there, so she could not share the good news with him.
Darryl did not know whether to laugh or cry.
‘They are truly deadheads.’
Stella motioned to Darryl with her eyes. Then she pretended to be in pain. She curled up and moaned gently. “Uhh…”
Darryl understood what she wanted to do; he immediately acted!
“What’s going on?”
“Little Junior Sister…”
“Is it poison?”
The four brothers did not know that Stella had only pretended to be in pain. The four brothers jumped in fear and quickly approached her with concern.
Jab! Jab! Jab!
Right at that moment, Darryl struck with lightning speed; he jabbed at their acupoints.
