"I can't! I really can't! I..."
"Oh! How can a guy like you just... hurry to the bathroom!"
"Exactly! No matter what, you can't sully the esteemed teacher's eyes!"
This cup of 'Divine Water' worked way too quickly.
Ivan Mc was visibly about to lose control.
As for Nicole Kidman and Daddario... Zhou Mo Sen saw it clearly.
The two of them, yeah, deliberately slowed down a bit.
They really went hard on Ivan Mc.
However, Zhou Mo Sen also naturally noticed the looks in Nicole and Daddario's eyes.
Surprise mixed with a lack of surprise.
As if to say:
The esteemed teacher is that amazing!
Zhou Mo Sen was somewhat helpless.
But as for that water stirred with a finger, he really didn't conspire with the two of them.
Which is to say, they might actually believe Zhou Mo Sen has some divine skills.
But in reality... it's just croton powder.
A small amount of croton powder has a very strong effect.
Moreover, this stuff needs careful handling, it can't just be applied to the skin.
Zhou Mo Sen understands the properties of the medicine, and he's not allergic to this, otherwise, it would indeed be a tough situation.
He simply put a bit on his finger, then stirred it in the cup.
The entire 'treatment' was then complete.
But anyway, this croton powder truly is a 'medicine' full of the wisdom of our ancient Chinese ancestors.
The plant croton itself belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family.
Never underestimate the Euphorbiaceae; it's clear from the name that most plants in this family are quite powerful.
And indeed, many plants in this family are toxic, even highly poisonous.
Croton is often used as a laxative.
However, this thing can't be used directly.
Because the action of croton is at the expense of 'poisoning' the intestinal cells.
The intestines detect this 'poison' and strongly want it expelled.
That's how the laxative effect is achieved.
So, detoxifying the croton is a necessary process.
But this croton has been known in our ancient China, with many records and ancient Chinese medicine prescriptions.
Yet at that time, there were no precision instruments, so how did the ancients detoxify it?
And you have to realize.
This croton thing, even just touching the fruit with a shell could lead to poisoning.
One can only imagine what our ancestor who first figured out croton's effects went through.
No wonder our ancestors are called wise.
Although Zhou Mo Sen doesn't know the specific detoxification details, the detoxification process of croton is really not that simple.
It seems to involve first using flour, then steaming with the shell, then drying, which causes it to burst, the fruit pops out, then ground into powder, then adding water, then drying again, and finally, you get the powder.
He's really not familiar with all the details, but he's heard about it.
The ancient method is indeed quite complicated.
And in ancient times... would our ancestors have originally thought that after all this fuss, it could be turned into a delicacy?
Our gourmand country doesn't have its reputation for nothing.
However, in the end, it didn't become a delicacy, but a medicine instead.
Inevitably thinking of that Oxycodone.
The line between medicine and poison is often very thin.
Oxycodone and the larger opioid class are really useful for pain relief.
But if misused, the result...
The Sackler Clan guys are continually crossing the line.
That's already beyond earning money at the cost of lives.
Just as he was thinking, they returned.
Ivan Mc was utterly exhausted, clearly having suffered greatly.
Yet Nicole Kidman and Daddario showed no trace of pity.
They directly dragged Ivan Mc to the ground.
It wasn't quite a drop, but with Ivan Mc so weakened, she inevitably fell to the ground.
Although there was a carpet, it was very thin.
Ivan Mc wasn't seriously hurt, but she'd indeed suffered a bit.
Thus, this tall, long-legged heiress appeared surprisingly fragile.
Zhou Mo Sen didn't speak up at the sight, because he felt that his two disciples were about to make a move.
Indeed.
"Ivan Mc, I'm not criticizing you, but you really didn't appreciate the kindness before."
Nicole Kidman started off, somewhat gently.
But Daddario didn't have such a good attitude.
"Ivan Mc! You were rude to our esteemed teacher before! You didn't believe the esteemed teacher's wise counsel, do you admit your guilt!"
Very forceful indeed.
Zhou Mo Sen didn't expect Daddario to get so into character?
Our Dr. Zhou hasn't yet realized the gravity of the situation.
But Ivan Mc, being questioned like this.
At this moment, she's still so weak, certainly without much ability to rebut.
"I know I was wrong, but... I didn't expect Dr. Zhou to be so amazing."
That's right, just drinking that one glass of water.
Zhou Mo Sen merely stirred it with his finger.
And yet it solved such a big problem for her.
It really left Ivan Mc dumbfounded.
But!
"You still call the venerable master a doctor?"
Daddario's gaze, like two sharp blades, pierced straight into Ivan Mc's chest.
"Ah, I..." Ivan Mc wasn't aware of the gravity of the situation.
Nicole Kidman's expression also changed at this moment, "Ivan Mc, you're so muddleheaded, I can't help you now either."
"I..." Ivan Mc's mind was in a daze right now.
Not just because of being scolded so harshly, but also related to how smoothly she had been able to relieve herself earlier.
In short, Ivan Mc, this talented girl, had her intelligence temporarily greatly reduced at this moment.
"You idiot! You think you're fine now? It's just that you expelled a lot of filth! Dumb donkey! Not only are you not begging my venerable master to continue saving you, you actually still think my venerable master is some ordinary doctor? Hmph!"
Daddario's words were powerful enough to corner Ivan Mc.
And then, who knows where this girl found it from.
She actually pulled out a whip.
This... using a whip so soon?
Zhou Mo Sen never expected to play this... ahem, no, he really didn't understand.
But it's clear that Daddario was still just intimidating.
Ivan Mc seemed to have reacted now and knelt and begged Zhou Mo Sen.
"Venerable Master, please save me again, I was confused before, I ask for your forgiveness."
This attitude was much better.
Zhou Mo Sen's face was calm, he just said indifferently, "I guess you haven't expelled all the filth yet, wait for two more times."
After saying this, he then turned to Daddario and said, "Give her Holy Water when the time comes."
Holy Water?
Daddario nodded.
However, at this moment, Ivan Mc couldn't help it again.
"Oh no!"
"Come with us!"
"You, your body has too much filth."
Off to the bathroom again.
Then it sounded like water, Ivan Mc probably was exhausted by now.
And after she got back...
"Alright, just give her the Holy Water."
A glass of warm red liquid was placed in front of Ivan Mc.
The rich heiress thought it looked like cola, but they all said it was Holy Water.
So she decided to try it.
She took a sip... huh?
It tasted pretty good!
Without thinking much, she drank it all!
A warm stream flowed from her throat to her stomach, warming her heart.
This is Holy Water!
It's so delicious!
Moreover, it's not just tasty, not just warming the stomach and heart.
It also made her naturally break out in a sweat.
The previous discomforts seemed to have vanished.
Miraculous!
"Um..." Ivan Mc had a look as if she wanted more.
"Hmph!" Daddario stood with full air.
"Ivan Mc, now do you believe in the venerable master?" Nicole Kidman poured another glass.
What does Ivan Mc have left to doubt?
Bowed to Zhou Mo Sen, "Thank you, Master, for saving me! I will listen to Master in everything from now on!"
After saying that, she drank it all in one gulp.
In this state of hers... actually, a small amount of croton powder mixed with red sugar ginger water is a folk remedy.
It can cure menstrual pain.
So, of course, Ivan Mc felt better.
Zhou Mo Sen witnessed all of this, yet his face remained calm like a still water.
He knew it wasn't over yet.
After Ivan Mc sweated to her heart's content, she seemed revitalized.
Especially her skin, which looked much better than before.
Due to the sweating.
Daddario and Nicole Kidman, each with a whip in hand, arrived behind the rich heiress.
"Ivan Mc! Your disbelief in the venerable master, do you plead guilty?"
With a snap!
"Ah! I plead guilty."
"Ivan Mc! You look so good, and yet you want to shrink? You're wasting the talent given by heaven!"
With another snap!
"Ah!! I plead guilty, I plead guilty."
With every question, a strike follows.
Zhou Mo Sen thought this scene seemed vaguely familiar.
However, Daddario was quite forceful, probably because she couldn't stand seeing others waste their talents.
