Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 129: A solution to the Twilight Tea has been found!
Pharmacy at No. 13 Chenfeng Street.

"I've figured out the effects of evening tea!"

"What is it? Tell me quickly!"

Upon hearing Youde's words, Xia Mingyu became even more excited than him, grabbing Youde's shoulders and repeatedly asking questions.

God knows how much pressure the evening tea incident has put on him these past two days!
The thought that the entire Twilight City and even the Southern Territory could become a den of poison made him so worried that he could hardly sleep all night.

"My sage, please let go of me, my shoulder is about to break," Yud cried out in anguish.

His physique was much weaker than that of an average person, and he could not withstand the power of a Morning Star expert.

"Ahem, sorry." Xia Mingyu quickly let go of her hand.

After Yud took a bottle of medicine from the table and applied it to his shoulder, he finally spoke:

"My sage, your guess is correct. This twilight tea is indeed an extremely dangerous poison. Although long-term consumption may be beneficial, it is dangerous if you stop drinking it after a long period of time."

A hint of seriousness flashed across Yude's monkey-like face.

"From day one, those who abstain from tea will experience pain every day, and this pain will increase rapidly over time. By the fifth or sixth day, it will probably be pain that exceeds the limits of human senses."

"What will happen then?" Xia Mingyu continued to press.

"I'll probably go completely insane from the pain or do anything to get the Twilight Tea."

Yud said slowly, a hint of fear flashing in his orange-yellow eyes as he spoke.

Because he knew very well that at least one-fifth of the citizens in Twilight City had been drinking Twilight Tea for a long time, and if they all stopped drinking Twilight Tea within five or six days...
Yud couldn't imagine how terrifying that scene would be; perhaps the entire Twilight City could be destroyed as a result.

"Is there any way to counteract the effects of evening tea?"

Xia Mingyu could naturally think of the same thing he could think of, so this was the issue he was most concerned about at the moment.

"I'm sorry, Sage, this tea is truly bizarre, and I have no way to counteract it in the short term."

Yud spread his hands, looking helpless.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mingyu frowned deeply, clenching his fists so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

Because he realized something terrible—even if he knew the truth that Twilight Tea was a drug, if he couldn't find a way to counteract it, he would even have to temporarily lift the ban on Twilight Tea and sell it to specific groups.

Because he couldn't possibly stand by and watch a quarter of the entire Twilight City die!

Ahhhhh!

This is infuriating! Why don't we just stop thinking about anything and go and tear that damned Ekus to pieces?

puff.

Just as Xia Mingyu was seriously considering what kind of torture to use to interrogate the "conscience" businessman, Damien, who had overheard the entire conversation between the two, suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Gods above, why have you made me so unfortunate? Is it because I once sang poems that displeased you?"

The bard clutched his hair with both hands, his expression one of utter anguish.

It was one thing for his father, Harris, to die from the pain of his tea addiction, but if his angelic sister were to go down that path, it would be far better for her to die of a fever.

"Are you alright, Damien?"

Xia Mingyu helped him up from the ground and asked softly.

“My sage, my sister, who is running a high fever, is also a long-time drinker of twilight tea.”

Seeing the concerned expression on the face of the black-haired youth in front of him, Damien, who already knew his true identity, said with a disheartened expression.

High fever + evening tea poisoning = ?
Xia Mingyu and You De looked at each other, both feeling a sense of unease.

"It's alright, once the carriage is right in front of you, a road will appear."

“We can cure your sister’s high fever first, and then deal with her addiction to Twilight Tea,” Xia Mingyu reassured her.

"Yode, can you cure a fever?"

"Don't worry, Sage, I'm quite skilled at cooling down the human body," Yud said spiritedly after taking a lot of herbs from the wooden shelf on the wall and putting them into his medicine pouch.

"Brother, you're so perfect-looking, you're the complete opposite of me. Don't look so sad, I'll definitely cure your sister."

Yud reached out his withered arm and patted Damien on the back, mocking himself.

He truly envied the incredibly handsome man in front of him. They were both human, yet one looked like a monkey, while the other looked like a god.
"Thank you, Pharmacist!"

Damien felt a lump in his throat and knelt down to hug Yude tightly.

The pharmacist, who hadn't been hugged since his mother's death, stiffened, but then a feeling of emotion welled up inside him.

The young man brought by the sage is so respectful to him; he must be a good person.

Since that's the case, he must cure the other party's sister!
Yud made up his mind in his heart.

In front of the only dilapidated house in the bustling street.

Click.

The door was opened.

Holding a bottle of liquor, Harris, slumped on the sofa, glanced listlessly at Damien as he entered the living room, and the man and monkey behind him, before looking away and continuing to drink as if no one else was there.

Without the evening tea, he felt extremely listless, and coupled with the constant itching and pain all over his body, he simply had no mind to pay attention to the changes in the outside world.

"Who is that?" Yud asked curiously, looking at the disheveled middle-aged man on the sofa.

“Dead man,” Damien said calmly.

The three of them did not stop and went straight through the living room into the bedroom.

On the bed in the room, a silver-haired girl who looked five or six parts like Damien was lying weakly in the quilt with her eyes closed.

Her exposed limbs outside her nightgown were flushed with an unnatural redness, and fine beads of sweat trickled down her porcelain-white skin.

Anyone could see that the girl was suffering terribly from the disease, and her condition was quite critical.

Upon seeing this, Yud's expression also turned serious.

After briefly touching the girl's burning forehead and arms, he immediately took out various herbs and tools from his medicine pouch and began grinding and mixing mint, sage, calendula, and other herbs.

While grinding, he also had Damien fetch a damp linen cloth, fold it, and place it on the girl's forehead to cool her down.

About half an hour later, Yud finally produced a bottle of dark green potion and, with Damien's help, fed it to the silver-haired girl.

Shortly after taking the medicine, the girl's body temperature dropped rapidly, returning to normal within just over ten minutes.

Under Damien's tense gaze, the girl slowly opened her eyes and called out "Brother."

"That's wonderful, Elisa, you're finally fully recovered!"

Damien hugged the girl tightly, tears streaming down his face.

Seeing his younger sister, with whom he depended on each other, finally recover, he instantly forgot about his mother's words.

"Don't cry, don't cry, your brother is the best~" Elisa gently patted the poet's shoulder to comfort him.

"By the way, Elisa, are you still feeling itchy or sore? Would you like to drink the evening tea again?"

After regaining his senses, Damien held the girl's hand and asked anxiously.

"No, I feel very comfortable. As for the evening tea, I don't know why I suddenly don't want to drink it anymore."

After stretching her body, Elisa looked puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mingyu and You De, who were quietly watching the touching scene between the brother and sister, were taken aback.

They exchanged a glance and suddenly realized something.
