Chapter196

Elara followed the guidance of the crimson beetle and hurried to the place where Mathias was being held. At a glance, she saw the man locked inside a cage and stopped in her tracks.

His whole body was naked and covered in various brutal marks, not a single patch of good skin remained.

The already thin young man seemed even weaker after the past day and night. His hands were chained high above, and his legs were also locked, spread wide apart in a humiliating position.

His abdomen was full of bloody wounds, and Elara noticed a pattern that had been painfully tattooed there. The design was obscene and sinister, spreading down from Mathias's leg to a private area.

Between his lowered brows, there was also a tattoo of a scorpion flower, marked with blood and clearly done by hand.

Elara took a small breath. She stopped the attendants who wanted to come closer, allowing only the accompanying doctor to follow. Elara stepped lightly to Mathias's side.

"Mathias..."

Mathias showed no reaction, seeming like a broken doll. If not for the faint rise and fall of his chest, he would be no different from a corpse.

Elara pressed her lips tightly, a wave of anger rising inside her.

He had been tormented to this state. What was this man thinking? Why hadn't he used her crimson beetle? Was he already wanting to die?

Suppressing her rising emotions, Elara took off her outer robe and gently draped it over Mathias's body. Then she reached out to the chains binding him, trying to unlock them.

But just as her robe barely covered him, his body suddenly trembled. When her fingers touched the chain on his wrist, Mathias shivered all over.

A hoarse, pitiful, and painful groan came from his throat. His fragile, scarred body trembled, wanting to move toward her but was tightly bound by his own chains. Blood dripped from his cracked lips.

The doctor carrying the medical box finally arrived.

Seeing the scene, he quickly moved forward to examine Mathias.

But perhaps Mathias's reaction was too strong and his injuries too severe. The doctor did not touch him. Instead, he carefully observed from a distance.

Finally, his eyes fell on the tattoo on Mathias's abdomen. The doctor sighed with pity and shook his head.

"What is his condition? Explain clearly!"

The doctor was startled by Elara's tone and quickly cupped his hands, sighing, "Your Highness, Mathias has been... literally transformed by someone..."

Elara furrowed her brows. "What do you mean? Explain clearly!"

The doctor sighed. "The continent's many nations are divided into male-dominated and female-dominated countries. This division is largely because in male-dominated countries, women bear children, while in female-dominated countries, men give birth."

You and Lord Gregory are mortal enemies. Mathias, as your favored attendant, fell into Lord Gregory's hands. Naturally, they wouldn't let him go. They used a cruel transformation technique to turn Mathias's body into that of a man from a female-dominated country.

They were ruthless. They not only made a womb appear in Mathias's abdomen but also used a special poison that made his body and womb extremely sensitive. Almost any touch would make him lose control and fall into an extremely lustful state.

This poison is very cruel, even in female-dominated countries. It is used to punish unfaithful wives harshly.

Because Mathias was originally from a male-dominated country, the drug's effect doubled in him.

Those people probably wanted to humiliate Mathias, turning him from a refined and elegant man into someone who could only be trapped in a woman's body, helpless and suffering.

The doctor's expression grew more pained as he spoke.

Mathias was such a gentle, talented young man, known throughout the capital. But now, he was poisoned with this cruel drug... how could he live like this?

Elara stepped forward, staring at the doctor. "Is there a solution?"

The doctor instinctively took two steps back, sweat appearing on his forehead. He wanted to say there was no cure for such a poison, but seeing Elara's gaze, he feared for his head if he said it.

He hesitated, then thought hard. He remembered a theoretical possibility from his studies in the Divine Doctor Valley.

"Your Highness, isn't Young Master Oswyn from Divine Doctor Valley also in your harem? When I studied there, I heard the current master, Oswyn's teacher, is a miracle man who has lived for hundreds of years. His blood can heal all poisons and even revive the dead. He gave each disciple a life-saving pill called the Holy Spirit Nirvana Pill."

Elara paused, then her eyes softened a little. She asked, "If someone takes the Holy Spirit Nirvana Pill, can its power be passed through their blood?"

The doctor was surprised by her question. The pill is an ultimate life-saving treasure. Even if Oswyn is in your harem, I doubt you could easily get it.

"It... should work."

After Oswyn gave her the pill, Elara's blood became a temporary 'antidote medicine.'

Later, she also absorbed the Puppet Soldiers' Divine Gu, received the Golden Pill from the White-haired Master, and various strong warming medicines.

Her blood's detoxifying effect mutated and extended, making her immune to all poisons.

Seeing the doctor nod, Elara walked back to Mathias and ordered Uno to remove the bindings from his hands and feet. She caught the now light man in her arms.

As he trembled, she gently opened a wound on her arm and fed her blood to Mathias's trembling lips.

Mathias, who had not eaten for a whole day and night, instinctively sucked the blood flowing from her wound.

Holding him, Elara clearly felt his thin body tremble more and more as he sucked.

When Elara felt something was wrong and wanted the doctor to check again, Mathias suddenly wrapped his arms around her.

His lips moved from her wrist to her face, then shakily and awkwardly bit her lips, as if wanting to taste the liquid inside her mouth.

Elara was stunned by his sudden action for two seconds.
