Who Spent the Night with the Tower Master (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
“Poison? What do you mean? Why all of a sudden?”
“It seems poison was mixed into the coffee you usually enjoy. We’re currently investigating, but nothing’s been confirmed yet.”
Unlike Riley, who had turned pale, Sak remained remarkably calm. She appeared thoroughly accustomed to this kind of situation.
“Poison does often find its way in, but this time it seems to be a new type your master has never encountered before. That’s why he collapsed—there’s no immunity.”
“…His life isn’t in danger, is it?”
“I can’t be certain, but probably not.”
“…‘Probably’?”
“Even the deadliest poison that snatches life in an instant can’t easily take a mage’s life. When something goes wrong with their body, mages use their magic to push their regenerative abilities to the maximum.”
“…”
“He’ll likely remain unconscious like that for at least a few days, possibly up to several weeks, until his body fully adapts and builds immunity to this poison. Even if he regains consciousness, he’ll probably linger in a weakened state. If he wakes up, that’s fortunate—but if he stays unconscious… well… we can’t guarantee he’ll recover safely.”
Sak patted Riley, who had gone deathly pale, offering her reassurance.
“Don’t worry too much. Poison isn’t that fatal for mages. Unless your neck is cleanly severed, your heart pierced, or you suffer a critical wound to a vital spot, something like this rarely kills outright. Though his body will grow very weak—he’ll keep expending massive amounts of magic, so in the long run, his lifespan will be significantly shortened.”
Was this really a situation where one shouldn’t worry?
Riley found Sak’s unnerving calmness astonishing. He lay there like a corpse—truly like a living corpse…
“So we just have to pray he regains consciousness?”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
