Chapter 273 Poison

“That Yun Shimo may excel in Qi Art, but we are Hundred Poison Immortal’s disciples... Maybe we cannot compare with that Murong Mengshi, but it won’t be a problem if we want to poison Yun Shimo.”

“You are right, but how to do that?”

The other guy slapped hard on the man’s head. “You moron, go to the kitchen and bribe a kitchen assistant!”

Those two men peeked at Yun Shimo’s room and then sneaked downstairs to the first floor.

Yun Shimo put Princess Qianyang onto the bed. Following behind, Bingyi frowned and asked, “Your Highness, you brought this woman back, but how are you going to deal with her?”

“Hurry, go and buy me a premium quality medicine tripod. I need it now!” Yun Shimo said flatly to Bingyi.

Bingyi was dumb for a while. Then he hurried outside to buy that medicine tripod.

Xuanyuan City was so big. Therefore, it wouldn’t be hard to try to buy a premium quality medicine tripod.

Yun Shimo opened his Space Ring and took out all the materials needed for refining the medicine. Then, a server came to knock on the door and brought him a pot of hot tea.

The server came in and saw Yun Shimo sorting the materials for the medicine. He immediately put on a flattering smile. “Young Master, are you an alchemist?”

The server said to Yun Shimo while pouring some tea for him.

Yun Shimo mumbled to respond. He didn’t bother to look at the server.

“Young Master, the tea is still too hot, and it will be drinkable after a while. I will leave you alone. If you have anything, please tell me!” the server said slowly to Yun Shimo.

The server did not say much and just pushed the cup to Yun Shimo.

Yun Shimo nodded his head without looking at the server. The server didn’t care at all. Anyway, he had accepted someone’s bribing.

Not long before in the kitchen, the server spotted two thief-like guys and stopped them. But he didn’t expect those two guys to give him ten taels of gold. They asked him to take a pot of tea poisoned with a laxative to Yun Shimo and try his best to let Yun Shimo drink it.

After it was done, they would give him another ten taels of gold.

The server had never seen so much gold. He accepted the deal without thinking. So then he was so passionate about serving Yun Shimo with the tea.

Yun Shimo looked at the server’s back, raising his eyebrows gently. He then sorted out the medicine materials, and his forehead sweated a little bit.

In the late spring, the weather was becoming warmer. Yun Shimo took off his sable coat, which made himself cooler.

He picked up the cup of tea from the server and took a sip. Feeling that the tea was very aromatic, he slowly drank all of it.

After that, the great scent in Yun Shimo’s mouth was still echoing. Outside the window, those two thieves were grinning.

Yun Shimo felt tired, so he sat on the side of the couch, leaned against the warm chair, and closed his eyes.

Yun Shimo darkened his face gradually.

At the same time, the door was pushed open. Two men in black robes came in and walked to Yun Shimo with their faces full of viciousness.

Both of them held a dagger in their hands. The daggers shone with coldness.

“Haw, haw, haw, Yun Shimo, no matter how powerful your Qi Art is, you cannot resist the poison from our Hundred Poison Sect, haw, haw! This is called Bone-eating Powder. Within six hours, you will no longer have the strength to sit up. Six hours later, you will be able to stand up, but your bones will slowly turn into a pond of blood!” the taller guy sneered and said.

Yun Shimo slowly lifted his eyelids and coldly looked at the two men who were walking towards him.

“Who are you two?” Yun Shimo asked slowly.

“Who are we? Well, we are the disciples of the distinguished Hundred Poison Immortal. Yun Shimo, your Purple Primordial Chaos Bead belongs to us now,” the shorter guy sneered.

Their eyes were emitting greedy light. Once someone took the Bone-eating Powder, it would quickly become effective.

“Are you tired of living?” Yun Shimo furrowed his brow and said. As he had thought before, many people were watching him.

But only those two idiots were reckless enough to make a move.

“Haw, haw, haw. Yun Shimo, you don’t need to threaten us. Are you feeling weak all over your body now? Are you still trying to use your Qi Art? Come on! I am not afraid of you!”

The taller guy smirked triumphantly. The door was wide open, and there were many Qi Artists standing outside enjoying the scene.

They did not come in to give a hand. After all, Hundred Poison Immortal’s disciples were not someone they wanted to mess up with.

Since Hundred Poison Immortal set up the Hundred Poison Sect, the admission to the sect had not been very large-scaled. Rumor had it that Hua Mengshi was the sole heir. But it was just a rumor, and Hua Mengshi had not admitted it yet.

“Clap!” Yun Shimo suddenly made a lightning move and slapped the taller guy in the face hard.

The taller man flew away because of the slap and then fell on a table. He then started to give sad, shrill cries.

Yun Shimo slowly stood up. His face was normal again.

“I had taken the Ginseng with Nine Souls before. Do you guys know that once a human takes a divine herb, then he will be immune to all poisons forever? His body will be one hundred times stronger than that of an ordinary person. This is not just a tale,” Yun Shimo said indifferently. The shorter guy was so scared that he was on his keens suddenly.

He shivered and stuttered, “Young Master... Please... Please don’t kill us. We were possessed... I didn’t expect you to be so awesome. If we did, we would never offend you!”

After that guy finished, he kept kowtowing to Yun Shimo, making noises like drum beats.

Yun Shimo raised the corner of his mouth. He erased that guy’s Qi Art with one smack of his hand.

He would never put up with anyone who had any attempt to kill him!

Those two guys’ Qi Art was erased. They couldn’t even stand up and crawled their ways out of Yun Shimo’s room with cries.

The people outside were stunned. Yun Shimo lifted his eyes to look at them. Those people all fled away and ceased to plot against Yun Shimo.

They thought that those two disciples of Hundred Poison Immortal could surely defeat Yun Shimo. After all, many supreme masters had been tricked by people from Hundred Poison Sect.

But they didn’t expect Yun Shimo to be immune to all poisons and to be so terrifying.

“Well, Prince Nan, you surely live up to your name, and we would never offend you. We are leaving now.” A boy around 13 or 14 smiled and closed the door for Yun Shimo.

After a while, Bingyi did bring back a premium quality medicine tripod. It took Yun Shimo two hours to finally refine a tenth-grade Forgetting Pill.

The Forgetting Pill was a kind of pill that could make someone forget some painful memories and also a male that a female loved but didn’t love her back. The memory of that female would stay at the time before they met.

Moreover, once Princess Qianyang took the medicine pellet, she would definitely not love Yun Shimo any more.

Yun Shimo fed Princess Qianyang the Forgetting Pill and then told Bingyi, “Take care of her. I will go to check on Hua Qiyue.”

Bingyi nodded his head and looked at his master’s back as he left. He had a headache. He was a man, and he did not even like Princess Qianyang, but why he had to be left alone with Princess Qianyang and watch her.

After two hours, Yun Shimo still had not come back. But Princess Qianyang who was lying on the bed moved a little and slowly opened her eyes.

Bingyi stood next to her and ask expressionlessly, “Your Highness, are you awake?”

Princess Qianyang felt a sharp headache. She stroked her forehead, and the pain gradually eased. “Where... Where is this place? Shouldn’t I be in the palace? Why...?”

Princess Qianyang’s memory was back to the time when she was with Changlong Emperor and when neither Hua Qiyue or Yun Shimo existed.

She also did not remember Hongyi or her sect, but only her gentle mother, and her father Changlong Emperor who loved and spoiled her so much.

“Your Highness. We are in a hotel in the Yuewu Kingdom. Uh... You came with His Highness to have fun, and you lost your way and fell. Do you forget everything?”

Bingyi had a headache, but he still tried to lie to the princess. When Yun Shimo came back, he had to talk to Yunshimo in case that their lie should be exposed.

“His Highness? Which one?” Princess Qianyang looked at Bingyi, feeling confused.

She only felt that the man in front of her was extremely handsome and was very cute with his expressionless face.

Princess Qianyang suddenly realized that while she was staying in the palace, the faces of the palace maids and guards were all covered, and she could not see them.

Then, Princess Qianyang saw someone as cute as the guy in front of her for the first time. She blushed slightly.

“Prince Nan will be back in a moment. We will send you back to the Changjing Kingdom,” Bingyi said flatly.

Then he suddenly noticed how passionately Princess Qianyang was looking at him. He was stunned to replace that her eyes were full of affection.

Bingyi screeched inside, immediately removed his gaze, and said indifferently, “If something happens, please call a server. I will leave you alone.”

“Uh... You haven’t told me your name.” Seeing Bingyi leaving, Princess Qianyang hurriedly sat up and tried to chase him.

But Bingyi was fast. He disappeared in a few seconds. Princess Qianyang blinked her eyes. “Well, as long as you are around me, there’s always a way to know your name.”

——————————

In just two hours, the news that Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo were in Xuanyuan City spread through the whole capital. Of course, the news that Yun Shimo had the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead spread like crazy.

Hua Qiyue took Tianci by the hand. Wherever they went, they could feel people looking at them in various ways.

But Hua Qiyue didn’t care. After roaming around the city with Tianci and the others, she finally left it.

Outside the city, it was still very crowded. Two officers were patrolling around. They were both shocked to see Hua Qiyue and the others, especially Bai Qianxue and his charming silver hair. He always drew the spotlight.

“Brother Bai, your hair is so long and beautiful, can you tell me how I can have this kind of hair?” Tianci was very concerned about how he looked. He pulled Bai Qianxue’s hand, trying to play cute.

“Tianci, I have had the hair since I was born. It’s natural. I have not done anything to it,” Bai Qianxue smiled and said to Tianci.

Tianci looked at Hua Qiyue with a hint of grudge. “Mom, why didn’t you give me that hair when you gave birth to me?”

People laughed for what Tianci said. Some people recognized Bai Qianxue at first glance. “Isn’t that man Bai Qianxue? The City Master of Spirit Heaven City. Why is he with Hua Qiyue?”

“Hua Qiyue’s friends are powerful. They killed Zhu Jian with only one smack. So the City Master became her company...”

People were whispering. When Hua Qiyue was about to go back with Tianci, someone exclaimed, “Master!”
