Chapter 10: Steamed Buns

Li Huowang curled up like a fetus, remaining motionless in a corner of the Preparation Room.

The other guiding drug ingredients didnt dare to disturb him and just quietly went about their own tasks.

Unknowingly, night had descended upon them, and all the oil lamps on the wall were extinguished.

Darkness enveloped Li Huowang like a blanket as he lay there like a corpse, unresponsive to the changes in the outside world.

At around 1 a.m., a faint candlelight flickered to life at the entrance, illuminating the nearby shelves and dissipating the darkness around Li Huowangs body.

It was Bai Lingmiao who was timidly carrying a bundle of dried grass toward Li Huowang, before carefully placing it over his body.

Then, she pulled out a steamed bun made with mixed grains from her pocket, and placed it near his mouth.

Seeing Li Huowang continue to remain motionless, she pursed her lips and gently nudged him.
