That night, Brother Sun and Huang had finished their "deal" with the young master and drank a few more rounds before heading back to the inn.
The poison that Huang Donglai had administered undoubtedly had not taken effect by the time they returned.
But after they left, it began to work...
This poison was one of the strange poisons recorded in Gu Qiying's notes, with a particularly tacky name, "Soul Erosion Powder."
The person who took this Soul Erosion Powder wouldn't feel anything amiss at first, but after an hour or two, the poisoned person would start to experience an unbearable feeling of restlessness and uncontrollable desire, and then they would become desperate to find someone to "vent" with.
Then comes the most ingenious aspect of the poison. If the poisoned person couldn't find anyone to "vent" with, say, they were locked in a room alone, then they could handle their "business" by themselves and would end up unharmed.
