I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 718 - 714 Giving Jiang Chen the Power Pill
At the moment of regaining freedom, Jiang Chen’s first reaction was just as Fang Xiaocao expected.
He just wanted to launch an attack on her.
Jiang Chen erupted, lunging straight at Fang Xiaocao.
Luckily, Taotie was quick-eyed and fast-handed and hugged Jiang Chen tightly.
Suddenly being hugged by Taotie, Jiang Chen began to struggle fiercely.
Aiming to escape Taotie’s grip, Taotie immediately strengthened his muscular arms, locking Jiang Chen in tight.
"Jiang Chen, calm down."
"The opponent is Princess Your Highness!"
Taotie shouted loudly in Jiang Chen’s ear.
Hearing Taotie’s voice, Jiang Chen paused his struggling movements.
He turned to look at Taotie, then raised his head to gaze at Fang Xiaocao.
Phew—
Seeing Fang Xiaocao’s face clearly, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Was my opponent just now Princess Your Highness?"
Jiang Chen asked in surprise.
"That’s right, you were defeated by Princess Your Highness."
Taotie teased with a cheerful smile.
Taotie’s smile more or less had a bit of schadenfreude in it.
Jiang Chen glared fiercely at Taotie.
After a short period of interaction, under Taotie’s socially aggressive personality, Jiang Chen and Taotie had turned enemies into friends, becoming close companions.
Seeing the harmonious interaction between Taotie and Jiang Chen, Fang Xiaocao nodded with satisfaction.
Harmony among subordinates is the fundamental for stable development of a force.
"Just now was just a whimsical play, don’t take the result too seriously."
"I could defeat Jiang Chen because Jiang Chen was injured and couldn’t exert his full strength."
Fang Xiaocao stopped Taotie from continuing to mock Jiang Chen.
Fang Xiaocao took out a brocade box placed closely against her bosom.
"Inside are the medicines I found for you, which can instantly heal your injuries."
"One billion per pill, if effective, it’ll be deducted from your wages."
"If ineffective, it’s free. Do you two want to try one?"
At this moment, Fang Xiaocao turned into Zhou Bapi, starting to extort Taotie and Jiang Chen without a second thought.
The Power Pill she held clearly didn’t cost her anything.
Yet Fang Xiaocao quoted Taotie and Jiang Chen a price of one billion per pill.
She truly displayed the mercenary face of a rogue merchant to perfection.
Focused on the idea: if you’re not swindling your subordinates, why are you not?
By underpaying Taotie and Jiang Chen by a billion each, her assets would invisibly increase by one or two billion.
Fang Xiaocao’s abacus was rattling loudly, even Hot Noodles and Old Cao far away on the future timeline could hear.
"I’ll eat!"
Upon hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, Jiang Chen chose to eat without hesitation.
After the recent battle with Fang Xiaocao, Jiang Chen, who couldn’t exert his full strength, was quite suffocated.
He never wanted to experience this feeling again in his life.
Now, with the sudden opportunity to heal instantly, Jiang Chen chose to take the Power Pill without any hesitation.
Isn’t it just one billion?
He, Jiang Chen, having been the battle commander of the Blacklist, would be short of this billion?
Joking, who do they look down on?
Upon hearing Jiang Chen’s words, Fang Xiaocao’s eyes lit up.
Immediately, she took out a Power Pill from the brocade box and handed it to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen immediately took the Power Pill and tossed it into his mouth without any hesitation.
Watching Jiang Chen swallow the billion, Fang Xiaocao felt a pang of sympathy for Jiang Chen.
No hesitation at all?
That’s a billion!
Fang Xiaocao murmured in her heart.
As the Power Pill entered his stomach, Jiang Chen’s expression suddenly changed.
His handsome, pale face turned red in an instant.
Jiang Chen didn’t have time to greet Fang Xiaocao; he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground.
He closed his eyes in meditation, fighting against the burning sensation inside.
Before long, Jiang Chen’s patient gown was soaked with sweat.
Droplets of sweat dripped along Jiang Chen’s hair.
Pooling into a shiny puddle beneath Jiang Chen.
To uninformed observers, it might look like Jiang Chen wet his pants.
Jiang Chen’s teeth were clenched tightly, and his fists were tightly clenched.
Bulging veins appeared on the backs of his hands, with blood vessels convulsing and writhing.
"What the heck?"
"Princess Your Highness, is this medicine reliable?"
"Jiang Chen’s state doesn’t seem right at all?"
Seeing the change in Jiang Chen, Taotie exclaimed.
Fang Xiaocao was a bit uneasy too; the medicine was given by Hot Noodles, and she wasn’t sure of its reliability.
But logically, Hot Noodles wouldn’t trick her.
Nor would they harm Jiang Chen and Taotie, so this Power Pill probably is reliable.
Fang Xiaocao put on a brave front and glared at Taotie.
"Shut your crow’s mouth!"
"If you can’t speak properly, then don’t; no one will sell you as a mute."
Fang Xiaocao scolded Taotie.
"Jiang Chen has already eaten the medicine, are you going to eat it or not?"
Fang Xiaocao once more took out a Power Pill from the brocade box and asked Taotie.
Gulp—
Eyeing the Power Pill in Fang Xiaocao’s hand and then Jiang Chen’s pained expression.
Taotie swallowed a mouthful of saliva and shook his head.
"I’m not eating; I’ll wait a bit."
"If Jiang Chen is okay, then I’ll eat."
Seeing Jiang Chen’s reaction, even if Taotie was a daring fool, he wouldn’t dare to eat recklessly.
What if Fang Xiaocao’s medicine wasn’t reliable?
Whether or not it could heal his wounds wasn’t his concern.
But what if the medicine is poisonous and has side effects after taking it?
Taotie has a wife and daughter; he can’t just die like this.
"Coward!"
Fang Xiaocao cursed, not insisting Taotie take the Power Pill.
She put the Power Pill back into the brocade box.
Fang Xiaocao could understand Taotie’s concerns; she herself wasn’t confident in the Power Pill.
Having Jiang Chen as the experimental guinea pig, there’s indeed no need to involve Taotie too.
Once Jiang Chen’s back to normal, check the efficacy before letting Taotie take it; it might be safer.
So Fang Xiaocao gave up on letting Taotie take the Power Pill immediately.
Time ticked away, second by second.
Currently, Jiang Chen looked like a cooked lobster.
His entire body was bright red, as if having just been lifted from the water.
Watching Jiang Chen’s changes, Fang Xiaocao grew less confident about the Power Pill.
"Could it have harmed Jiang Chen?"
Fang Xiaocao quietly murmured in her heart.
"Princess Your Highness, could this medicine be expired?"
"Tell me, where did you buy the medicine?"
"I’ll take people to help you return it."
Taotie clamorously suggested.
Fang Xiaocao glanced at Taotie with irritation.
"Shut up!"
"It’s non-returnable, wait earnestly."
The vexed Fang Xiaocao was now thoroughly annoyed by Taotie.
Fang Xiaocao could only silently pray in her heart. Hopefully, Hot Noodles wouldn’t deceive her.
Jiang Chen is so handsome; he can’t just be ruined like this.
Though if ruined, it doesn’t matter much.
But he mustn’t die just like that.
Even if he’s ruined, keeping him around is rather eye-pleasing.
Half an hour later!
The red on Jiang Chen’s body began to gradually fade.
The rain-like sweat stopped flowing.
Jiang Chen’s originally grim expression gradually softened.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao let out a sigh of relief.
Seems like he’s alright.
Even if the Power Pill isn’t effective, at least Jiang Chen’s fine.
As long as he’s alive, Fang Xiaocao is at ease.
If Jiang Chen was poisoned by her Power Pill, Fang Xiaocao would feel guilty.
