The Yellow-Haired Villain in Soaring Phoenix’s Novels Also Desires Happiness

Chapter 15, Antidote

“Don’t!”

“Come on~”

“Absolutely not!”

“Just for a moment~”

“Not even a little bit!”

Mu En’s eyes widened in anger, his words crisp and powerful, his expression imposing like a brave warrior who would never flinch in the face of a life-and-death crisis. Then he shrank back against the wall, trembling:

“A real man, strong in body and even stronger in heart, would never do something so embarrassing!”

“Is that so?”

The senior sister, with a look of regret, put away the little skirt in her hands: “Since you don’t want to, then let’s forget it.”

“Eh?”

Mu En blinked in confusion.

When did the senior sister become so easy to talk to?

“What are you thinking about?”

Seemingly seeing through Mu En’s thoughts, the senior sister playfully extended her finger and lightly flicked his forehead:

“Do I look like the kind of bad senior sister who would force a junior to do something he doesn’t want to?”

“… Well, that’s true.”

Mu En scratched his head awkwardly:

“After all, the senior sister is so gentle.”

“…”

“Um? What’s wrong, senior sister?” Seeing the senior sister’s somewhat dazed expression, Mu En asked.

“Nothing…”

Anna smiled and shook her head:

“By the way, here, take this.”

Anna tossed a small bottle to Mu En.

“What is this?”

Mu En curiously looked at the transparent, pure liquid inside the small bottle:

“Another kind of potion?”

“Yes, it is indeed a potion.”

Anna said: “But to be more specific, it’s an antidote to the kind of potion you would drink.”

“An antidote?”

Mu En paused for a moment, revealing overwhelming joy:

“Really?”

“Fake.”

Anna rolled her eyes, full of charm:

“I’m just the kind of woman who talks nonsense in the eyes of the junior?”

“Uh… Sorry, senior, I got too excited.”

“Forget it, I forgive you. After all, I’m a broad-minded woman.”

“You’re the best, senior! Beautiful and kind-hearted, I like you the most!”

“Hehe, I’m not one of those little girls who would be completely charmed by your sweet words, junior.” Anna covered her mouth and laughed. “So let’s skip those compliments.”

“What sweet words? I’m being sincere here.” Mu En said earnestly.

“Let’s just pretend you’re being sincere.”

Anna tidied her slightly disheveled long hair from the earlier scuffle, casually tying the ends with a hair tie, then letting it fall in front of her chest. She continued:

“Since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave now.”

“Hey, senior, you’re leaving just like that?”

“Why not? The purpose of delivering the antidote to you has been achieved, and those disgusting bald men who suddenly appeared will be dealt with by someone else. What else am I doing here?”

“Or is it that…”

The senior suddenly leaned in closer, the faint fragrance emanating from her stimulating Mu En’s senses. Her clear, spring-like eyes gazed into Mu En’s, slightly crescent-shaped, revealing a hint of captivating allure.

“Are you reluctant to see me go, junior?”

“I…” Mu En felt his cheeks flush slightly.

“Pfft, alright, I won’t tease you anymore.”

Before Mu En could react, Anna suddenly stepped back, clasping her hands behind her and walking into the darkness behind her.

“Well then, goodbye, Mu En.”

“Okay, goodbye, senior.”

“Ah, wait.”

The senior turned back suddenly:

“About that antidote, there are some precautions when drinking it.”

“Precautions?”

“Exactly.”

Anna’s expression was unusually serious, like a doctor advising a patient on how much medicine to take: “You must strip off all your clothes when you drink it, or something terrible will happen.”

“Drink it completely naked?” Mu En was shocked. “Is there really such a bizarre potion? You’re not trying to trick me, are you? And what exactly is this terrible thing?”

“Well… you’ll have to experience that for yourself.”

Anna smiled mischievously and turned to leap into the darkness.

“Wait…”

Mu En rushed to the window he had previously crashed through and looked outside, but in the dark behind the dormitory building, there was already no one there.

“I always feel like Senior is in such a hurry; did she forget to turn off the gas at home?”

Mu En scratched his head.

Then he looked at the potion in his hand, clear as water, seemingly harmless.

Suddenly, he felt a headache coming on.

“So… should I listen to Senior or not?”

Mu En shook the potion bottle, pondering seriously.

“With Senior’s personality, she must be tricking me. How could there be such a strange potion?”

Mu En decided not to heed Senior Anna’s advice and directly twisted open the bottle cap, preparing to drink it all in one go.

However, as soon as the bottle was at his lips, he hesitated.

If it were someone else saying this, he would definitely think they were just fooling him.

But if Senior is saying it…

Maybe she’s just deliberately making me think that.

The real trap comes after drinking the potion without taking off my clothes.

A trap within a trap?

Mu En couldn’t help but ponder.

But what if Senior anticipated this layer too?

Maybe she just wants to see me embarrass myself; she could be hiding somewhere right now, secretly watching.

A trap within a trap within a trap?

“Truly, you are something else, Senior.”

Only you could make me, Mu En Campbell, so flustered with just a single line.

“Forget it.”

Mu En gritted his teeth.

“Even if Senior sees me, so what? I’m a grown man; why should I be afraid of this?”

Mu En felt he still needed to be steady.

Better to believe in its existence than to doubt it.

So Mu En took a deep breath and stripped down completely.

“Do not look, do not look.”

With his eyes closed, he tilted his head back and drank the potion in one go.

In an instant.

A fierce, scorching sensation hit him.

The skin on Mu En’s body turned a fiery red, as if it were burning.

It seemed that there was indeed a high temperature erupting within him, and wisps of white smoke began to rise from the top of his head.

“Hot!”

Mu En finally understood why the senior had asked him to take off his clothes.

She was telling the truth; this potion couldn’t be consumed while wearing clothes.

Because at such a scalding temperature, if he were still dressed, he might just catch fire!

Fortunately, this painful sensation lasted only a moment. Soon, Mu En felt as if something was missing from his body, and he relaxed considerably.

He opened his eyes, and in the full-length mirror before him, the handsome man with golden hair and blue eyes smiled back.

“Ah, my strong biceps.”

“Ah, my robust pectorals.”

“Ah, my elegant abs.”

“They’re back, all back.”

Looking at the muscular figure in the mirror, Mu En couldn’t help but express his happiness.

This is good, this is really good.

As for beauties, they should be held in one’s arms (or be the one held?) to truly feel it; transforming into a beauty himself was something he could do without—he couldn’t bear it.

“Speaking of which, this potion shouldn’t be an antidote for the transformation potion, right?”

Mu En stroked his chin, pondering.

If it were an antidote, the process wouldn’t be so intense.

Moreover, from the sensations just now, it didn’t seem like it was lifting the magic; rather, it felt more like a forceful fire had burned away the disguise on his body.

“In other words, the senior discovered the effects of the transformation potion and then specifically concocted a counteracting potion to target that effect?”

Mu En marveled:

“Truly impressive, the senior; the president of the ancient potion society is not just a name without substance.”

“I’ll have to find a chance to learn from her in the future.”

“But that’s a matter for later; right now…”

Mu En shifted his gaze around the room.

The previous clothes were definitely unwearable now, after having been displayed in front of so many people. If he were to go out still wearing them, it wouldn’t be long before some particularly perceptive individuals might notice something amiss and draw unnecessary conclusions.

He needed to search this unknown dorm room for any emergency clothing.

Of course, he would make sure to offer appropriate compensation in due time.

“The owner of this room seems to really enjoy working out.”

After casually wandering around the room and seeing the weights and exercise equipment scattered about, Mu En couldn’t help but smile.
