Chapter 1598 — Going to Watch the Show

"Good!" Gao Xiaofu slung the camera over his shoulder — but the weight of it nearly caved his shoulder in!

The two of them hurried out of the room. It was already close to nine o'clock at night, and Zhong Yongliang was burning with regret! By the time they got there, Wei Zhao might have already succeeded! Without that earlier segment of Gu Mengyao fighting back, there'd be no fun in it at all!

At that thought, malicious intent flared in Zhong Yongliang's heart. He happened to walk into the resort's lobby and saw that most of their classmates had finished resting and were sitting around waiting for Zhong Yongliang and Gao Xiaofu.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting. Now, I'm going to treat you to a grand spectacle!" Zhong Yongliang announced to the classmates in the lobby. "Everyone, come with me!"

Zhong Yongliang intended to drag everyone along to watch Wei Zhao. That way, even if Wei Zhao succeeded through some halfhearted compliance, being seen by every single classmate would be utterly humiliating! And from then on, Gu Mengyao would never have the face to face anyone again!

But Zhong Yongliang thought to himself: if he couldn't have it, no one else would either! If he was never going to get Gu Mengyao, then he'd see her reputation destroyed!

The classmates had no idea what grand spectacle Zhong Yongliang planned to show them, and not giving it much thought, they all followed him toward Wei Zhao's room! After all, Zhong Yongliang had organized this entire outing, so naturally they'd go along with him!

Upon reaching the door of Wei Zhao's room, Zhong Yongliang couldn't hold back and slammed himself against it! Every second counted now — he didn't want to waste a single moment!

With a BANG, Wei Zhao's door burst open — though not nearly as hard to force as Zhong Yongliang had expected, because the door hadn't been locked at all! After returning to his room, Wei Zhao had been busy cultivating to combat the drug's effects, while Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were busy helping Wei Zhao cool down, so neither of them had bothered to check whether the door was locked.

And so Zhong Yongliang plunged headfirst into the room in spectacular fashion — momentum sent him sprawling face-first onto the floor!

"Look, everyone!" Gao Xiaofu ignored Zhong Yongliang completely. Afraid Wei Zhao might take countermeasures, he quickly urged the classmates to peer inside!

And so the scene in the room came into everyone's eyes! Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, one on each side, were fanning Wei Zhao with hand fans!

"What's this all about?" A classmate glanced in and asked, bewildered.

"Are you out of your mind? You brought us to see this?" Kang Xiaobo, who had followed along, was the first to object. Was Gao Xiaofu brain-dead? It was obvious that Wei Zhao was enjoying the company of two beauties fanning him — and now Zhong Yongliang had barged in!

"Exactly — what's so great about this?" The classmates were somewhat envious of Wei Zhao, but none of them considered this a grand spectacle! It's just fanning — what's there to watch?

Gao Xiaofu was dumbfounded. What on earth was going on? Shouldn't Wei Zhao have pinned down Gu Mengyao or Shen Yushu by now? How were all three of them fully clothed, coolly sitting here fanning away?

Zhong Yongliang picked himself up off the floor, equally bewildered! No way — Wei Zhao was fine? He looked around the room suspiciously; it didn't appear that anything had happened!

Moreover, he was certain that if Wei Zhao had actually done anything with Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, it wouldn't have ended so quickly with his clothes on, sitting here fanning! After all, it had taken him and Gao Xiaofu ages just using their own hands — how could Wei Zhao have finished so fast?

"Uh... actually, I wanted to let everyone see what a banana-leaf fan looks like! This banana-leaf fan is a specialty of this resort!" Gao Xiaofu said. "I just wanted to show you how it's used... Back in the day, it was one of these that extinguished the Flaming Mountains..."

"Boring..."

"Lame..."

The classmates, mindful that Zhong Yongliang had financed the outing, didn't say much, but they turned and walked away with obvious disinterest.

"What's wrong with you two? Arrow Bro is asleep — he's resting. What are you all making such a racket for? Looking at a banana-leaf fan? Is your mother the Iron Fan Princess?" Shen Yushu took one look at Zhong Yongliang and Gao Xiaofu bursting in and knew exactly what was going on!

The two of them had slipped the aphrodisiac into Wei Zhao's drink, so they were here now hoping to catch him in the act! Fortunately, Wei Zhao was powerful enough to neutralize the drug on his own — otherwise, these people really would have seen everything!

"Uh... I see. Sorry to bother you then... We'll be going... My apologies, we were just hoping to see a banana-leaf fan..." Gao Xiaofu knew Shen Yushu was not someone to mess with, and besides, nothing had happened to Wei Zhao. If Wei Zhao flew into a rage, both he and Zhong Yongliang would be done for!

After all, Wei Zhao had dared to punch Zhang Naipao! The two of them had no choice but to slink away with their tails between their legs!

Wei Zhao kept his eyes closed and said nothing throughout. Everyone assumed he had fallen asleep, but in truth, he was fighting a battle against the drug's effects! Though he heard Zhong Yongliang and Zhang Naipao's voices, he paid them no mind!

The drug's potency in his body was steadily fading, which came as a genuine relief to Wei Zhao! It seemed his efforts hadn't been in vain — he was making real progress!

Finally, as time slipped by, the drug's effects grew weaker and weaker in Wei Zhao's body. Even without using his true qi to refine it, he could have resisted it by now — but Wei Zhao decided to refine every last trace away. After all, this particular aphrodisiac was different from the normal kind; who knew whether it might have side effects?

So Wei Zhao continued channeling energy to refine the drug within his body, until at last — the drug had been refined away completely!

"Phew..." Just as Wei Zhao let out a breath of relief, an incredible development occurred at the very next moment! The drug had been refined, but the energy doing the refining was the energy of the jade pendant's pocket dimension — and once refined, the drug had transformed into true qi within Wei Zhao's body! Earlier, with the drug still present, Wei Zhao hadn't noticed; but now that the drug was gone, the surplus of true qi was unmistakably obvious!

Moreover, the true qi produced by refining the drug was not a small amount! Wei Zhao felt as though his meridians were about to explode! Earlier, he'd been entirely focused on refining the drug and hadn't noticed — but by the time he realized, it was already too late!
