The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 7264 - 7265

After settling Song Ruyu, charlie drove away from the Champs Elysees Hot Spring Hotel and headed straight home to Tomson Yipin.

The hotel, located in the southern suburbs of Jinling, happened to lie along charlie’s route back from Shanghai, so the detour didn’t cost him much time.

After charlie left, Song Ruyu respectfully asked Yun Ruge, “Miss Yun, how long have you been here?”

“Not long,” Yun Ruge replied. “When Chang Shengbo blew himself up, I happened to be hiding nearby. I was caught in the explosion and seriously injured. Mr. Wade saved me.”

“Self-destruction?” Song Ruyu asked quickly. “The self-destruction you mentioned—could it be the same formation Mr. Wade spoke of earlier, the one Lord Ying—no, Wu Feiyan—left in your Niwan Palace?”

“Yes,” Yun Ruge nodded gently, her tone tinged with emotion. “Back then, Wu Feiyan told us she had placed a life-saving formation in our Niwan Palace. If we ever faced an overwhelming enemy and had no chance of escape, we could activate it to preserve our souls. We believed her and were grateful—until Earl Changsheng triggered it at the moment of death. Only then did I realize it wasn’t a life-saving formation at all, but a self-destruct mechanism. Wu Feiyan intended to use it to eliminate potential threats. We so-called Earls… we were human bombs she created with her own hands.”

Song Ruyu took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, “Luckily, I’ve only been enlightened for two years and never met Wu Feiyan. Otherwise, knowing her methods, I’m sure she would have implanted the same formation in me.”

After a pause, she asked urgently, “So Miss Yun, you not only carry a deadly poison set to expire, but also a self-destruct formation that could be triggered by a single thought?”

“Yes,” Yun Ruge said with a bitter smile, her voice tinged with irony. “At this point, you could say I carry all five deadly poisons.”

Song Ruyu gave a wry smile. “It’s not much better for me. I was poisoned just like you. I’m afraid I’ll be dead from it in a year or so.”

Yun Ruge responded earnestly, “You must have faith in Mr. Wade. He might just create a miracle.”

Song Ruyu said, “But Mr. Wade told me he hasn’t found a way to detoxify it yet, and a year is a short time. He may not have the energy or resources to find a solution for us within that period.”

Yun Ruge shook her head and replied, “Everything depends on timing and opportunity. Although Mr. Wade doesn’t have a solution right now, I believe that with his luck, he’ll eventually find a way.”

As she spoke, Yun Ruge gently reminded her, “Now that we’re here, don’t dwell on things beyond our control. No matter how much we worry, it won’t change anything. It’s better to stay calm, focus on cultivation, and not let other concerns weigh you down.”

“You’re right!” Song Ruyu agreed. “To be honest, Miss Yun, I’ve been thinking the same. Before I came here, Mr. Wade helped me recover my sea of consciousness. I feel like I’ve stepped into an entirely new world of cultivation. Whether or not the poison can be neutralized in a year, I’ve decided to make the most of this time, cultivate seriously, and not waste Mr. Wade’s support and guidance.”

There was one thing Yun Ruge hadn’t told Song Ruyu.

In fact, charlie had already informed her that there might be a way to remove the poison.

However, the method was both cruel and costly.

It involved using a Reshaping Pill to rebuild her body.

charlie had once examined her body with spiritual energy and found two strange energies intertwined inside her—but they were restricted to her physical form.

If no other method is found before the poison takes full effect, the only option may be to decapitate Yun Ruge and place the Reshaping Pill in her mouth.

As long as her brain remains alive and retains even a sliver of consciousness, the Reshaping Pill could reconstruct her body.

By then, the poison entangled within her internal organs would naturally be eliminated.

Yun Ruge was aware of this method, but she chose not to tell Song Ruyu, fearing that a young girl like her wouldn’t be able to handle the idea of something as extreme as beheading.

So she simply kept it to herself.

Yun Ruge understood that while beheading followed by taking the Reshaping Pill could completely remove the poison in both her and Song Ruyu’s bodies, it couldn’t eliminate the self-destruct formation hidden in her Niwan Palace.

The Niwan Palace, located in the brain, lies beyond the limits of what the Reshaping Pill can regenerate.

…

The next day, when charlie returned to the Champs Elysees Hot Spring Hotel, he brought with him two enhanced versions of the Peiyuan Pill, specially refined in the cauldron.

To his surprise, neither Song Ruyu nor Yun Ruge had rested the night before. Instead, they had spent the entire night meditating and practicing breathing techniques in the training room charlie had prepared for Song Ruyu.

When they saw charlie, who had only just left the previous night and returned early in the morning, both women were moved. Yun Ruge said warmly, “Mr. Wade, I’ll take care of Miss Song here. You don’t need to worry too much.”

charlie smiled and replied, “I’m not worried. I just came to give you two something.”

The two looked at him in surprise, wondering what he had brought so early in the morning.

Without revealing it just yet, charlie said, “Both of you sit cross-legged and enter meditation. I’ll assist you.”

The two were overjoyed at his words. Song Ruyu had only recently attained enlightenment and was still quite weak. Although charlie had helped her recover her sea of consciousness, she remained far behind Yun Ruge in terms of strength. She had been eager to continue advancing her cultivation.

Yun Ruge, too, was deeply committed to cultivation. With charlie’s assistance, she could naturally progress much faster, achieving twice the results with half the effort.

charlie instructed the two to sit cross-legged side by side, then sat down in front of them in the center. He said, “You two have different cultivation levels. Miss Yun has been training for a long time and is more skilled at controlling spiritual energy. Miss Song, on the other hand, has just discovered her sea of consciousness and is still unfamiliar with energy control. So the best way to help you both right now isn’t to teach you how to control or purify spiritual energy, but to give you more of it directly. In this world, it’s no longer possible to absorb spiritual energy naturally through breathing, so the only way to increase your spiritual energy is through pills.”

As he spoke, charlie took out two enhanced Peiyuan Pills and said, “Have you ever heard of the Peiyuan Pill?”

“Peiyuan Pill?!”

At the mention of the name, Yun Ruge’s heartbeat quickened.

Last time, charlie had given her a Rejuvenation Pill to heal her injuries. That pill had given her a firsthand experience of what a true treasure of heaven and earth felt like.

She still remembered the feeling of her body being cleansed and her marrow refined. But she hadn’t expected charlie to actually possess Peiyuan Pills!

Back in the Poqing Society, she had only ever received what were called “small Peiyuan Pills,” but the spiritual energy in those was minimal. Even after all her years there, the total number she had received was limited.

The so-called “small Peiyuan Pill” wasn’t an actual pill type—it was a diluted version created by Wu Feiyan through excessive tampering with authentic Peiyuan Pills.

One regular Peiyuan Pill could be stretched into twenty “small” ones by mixing in inert medicinal ingredients that lacked any spiritual energy, making the final product far less effective.

Even so, Wu Feiyan used the small Peiyuan Pills as treasured rewards to win over the four earls and cultivators like Song Ruyu.

At that moment, Song Ruyu also gasped in surprise. “Mr. Wade… I’ve only ever taken the small Peiyuan Pills given by Wu Feiyan. I’ve never even heard of a full Peiyuan Pill…”

“Small Peiyuan Pill?” charlie instantly understood what it was just from the name.

“It’s like taking one cup of sugar water and diluting it into ten or twenty cups—it’s still sweet, but very weak. The same principle applies to diluting elixirs.”

He smiled and added, “In fact, what I’ve brought you today isn’t just a Peiyuan Pill—it’s a Great Peiyuan Pill!”
