”Mu Bai, will the effects double if she eats both bowls of soup?” Zhao Manyan asked softly.

”What did you say?!” Mu Bai was having a headache too.

The drug would go into effect in about an hour. Hopefully, Brianca was alone in her room when the time came. That way, she could just take a rest, assuming she was feeling a little sick, but if she was outside… it was difficult to imagine what was going to happen!

”Mu Bai, hurry up and get some antidote, we'll find a way to have Brianca drink it. The woman is clearly the unreasonable kind. She wasted half our night over a roasted hare. If she knew we were trying to drug her, wouldn't she skin us alive!?” Mo Fan said.

Ceylan was Heidi's mentor, so obviously she was very strong. Brianca's position was on par with Ceylan's, indicating that she also possessed great strength. The three of them had no chance of surviving against her!

”Since when is there an antidote for an aphrodisiac? It's just a kind of catalytic hormone, it's not poison...” Mu Bai said.

”We are screwed! Goodness gracious me!” Zhao Manyan felt his scalp turning numb when he thought of Brianca.

”Pack your stuff, it's time to leave!” Mo Fan said.

They did not dare to stay any further. They quickly went back to their room to pack their belongings.

”Let's split up so we won't arouse any suspicion,” Zhao Manyan suggested.

It would be very obvious if they left together. If they were on their own, they could still claim they were just taking a stroll.

Mo Fan went for the gate in the north. It was the same path they had taken to hunt some wild game on the mountain. Once he crossed the mountain and a huge icebound valley, he could quickly make his way back to Lake Geneva. He would apologize to Professor Li and Professor Zheng once it was over and tell them he could not stand the rules of the school, and had decided to go back to the city. He believed Brianca would not bother to chase him down, since it was not something she would want to mention, either!

Mo Fan was just about to step beyond the North Mountain Gate when he heard a commanding voice from behind.

”Hold it right there!” Brianca stood on a bridge above an icy lake and stared coldly down at Mo Fan, who was trying to run away.

Mo Fan almost broke out in cold sweat. He turned around and looked at the woman's veiled face.

Mo Fan had finally seen her face at lunchtime. She was just as pretty as Heidi, her face as perfect as a statue, but in Mo Fan's eyes, she was currently scarier than the Scorpion Lord Medusa!

Crap, he was caught in the act!

No way, he would never admit it, even if he was beaten to death!

”Ah, Miss Brianca, what a coincidence to see you here… After hearing your words of wisdom last night, I do realize that I've overdone it. I shouldn't harm the little creatures that are the incarnations of the deities on the mountain. I'm going to the mountain to repent,” Mo Fan came up with a perfect excuse.

Brianca started walking toward Mo Fan. Every step she took caused Mo Fan's heart to beat even harder. His heart had never pounded so heavily, even when he was facing his beloved Mu Ningxue.

”I was looking for you; your bracelet told me where to find you,” Brianca said. She was holding a little box.
