The cool water soothed their bodies, and with a few quick movements, the intense itching that had penetrated to their bones was also washed away. The swellings that had formed on everyone's body vanished into thin air upon contact with the water. These grown men couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling for the first time that plain water could be so endearing. Someone couldn't resist cursing out loud, "When did that demoness poison us?"
Fu Yunzhang smiled wryly and shook his head. This was probably Miss Ning's little act of retribution. They had been wandering the lands for many years, facing defeats but never had they suffered such a mysterious loss. However, the lady had been merciful in her actions, sparing Qing'er since she too was a woman. If Qing'er had to jump into the river with the men, exposed and embarrassed, it would have been a total loss of face.
