Chapter 4964: 5.0716 Revealing True Form

The small, amber-colored bottle shimmered beautifully, reflecting the faint sunlight. The middle-aged man shivered inexplicably, his entire body tensing up.

"You, you... what are you going to do?" he demanded sharply, though he didn't realize his voice was trembling slightly. He was genuinely terrified of this young lady before him. As he watched her approach, getting closer and closer, the middle-aged man's heart began to pound violently. He had a strong feeling that something bad was about to happen, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

It wasn't until he saw the young lady open the glass stopper and a faint, peculiar aroma wafted into his nostrils that the middle-aged man stiffened, his body trembling uncontrollably. He was, he was so familiar with this medicinal scent, too familiar! This was impossible. How could this young lady possibly know how to use this medicine? It was impossible! This was the only antidote to the directional transformation potion in the world. If he drank just one mouthful, he, he... would immediately reveal his true form, his original appearance.

The middle-aged man was already in a state of panic. He hadn't expected all the bad luck to pile up, one after another... Damn it!

"Qiao Qiao," Duan Yue pulled her, looking down at the small glass bottle in her hand. "What is this?"

"Make him drink it, all of it," Qiao Mu said, glancing disdainfully at the pale-faced middle-aged man on the ground. She then handed the glass bottle to Duan Yue.

Shao Yi quickly stepped forward, extending both hands to take the medicine bottle offered by his Emperor. He trotted over to the middle-aged man, looking at him with a strange expression. What was wrong with this middle-aged man? His expression looked like he'd eaten something terrible... his face was sickly yellow, utterly hideous. It was just a bottle of medicine, wasn't it? Look how scared he was! Did the Little Crown Princess's medicine have some extraordinary quality?

"Go, go away! Don't, don't grab me!" the middle-aged man roared, his eyes red with anger, as several dark guards held him down.

Duan Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing the man before him. He muttered, "Have I seen him somewhere before?"

"You know this ugly monster?" Lord Qiao Qiao asked, giving Duan Yue a look of disgust.

Duan Yue couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile. "I feel a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen him." He prided himself on his good memory; if he had seen someone even once, he should remember them. Yet, he couldn't find this middle-aged man's face in his memory, though he vaguely felt a sense of familiarity.

"She's disguised. An ugly monster," Qiao Mu said coldly. "He took a directional transformation potion that can completely alter his appearance for three days, unbeknownst to anyone."

Duan Yue suddenly realized, and his handsome face immediately turned cold. "Directional transformation potion??" He now knew why he felt familiar with the middle-aged man. Because he had seen this person before.

At this very moment, the middle-aged man, who had been forcibly made to drink a small bottle of the antidote, was undergoing a drastic transformation. His previously flat body was gradually becoming curvaceous. He was still wearing the drab, ordinary merchant's robe, but a graceful figure was now encased within. Even the same gray robe looked much better now. She lay sprawled on the ground, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment and anger.
