No matter what, Zheng Yang was her senior, and she had fallen in love with him back then. It was one thing for her to find a proper man to live with, but now, she had to find a potbellied middle-aged man. No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't help but feel displeased!
How could the other party be pleased that she, the hall master of the Poison Temple, was displeased?
"Junior, don't mess around. They are just ordinary people..."
Not expecting Wei Ruyan to refuse to leave, Zheng Yang felt an ominous premonition.
"It's fine, no one will die!"
Ignoring him, Wei Ruyan sat down at the tea stall and said with a sweet smile, "Boss, bring me a pot of tea!"
After saying those words, she sat down quietly as if nothing had happened and began sipping on her tea.
Knowing that he couldn't force her to leave, Zheng Yang clutched his forehead and sat down helplessly.
"Xiang-ge, are we really going to the royal palace?" Su Feifei asked the potbellied middle-aged man beside her.
"I told Shen Zhui to get me some death soldiers, but he hasn't done so yet. I think that fellow is going to give up on his throne!"
Xiang-ge harrumphed coldly as a vicious glint flashed across his eyes.
"To dare disobey Xiang-ge's words, that Shen Zhui sure is gutsy. If I don't teach him a lesson, he might really think that he is the emperor of an empire!" Su Feifei covered her mouth and chuckled disdainfully.
The incomparably respectful emperor in the eyes of others was nothing in her eyes.
"Indeed, he is just the emperor of a small kingdom, but he thinks too highly of himself. If only I didn't want to blow this matter up, that fellow would have died a long time ago..." Xiang-ge sneered coldly.
Just as he was about to speak, his face suddenly twitched, and his knees caved in. Putong! He kneeled onto the floor.
"Xiang-ge..."
Shocked, Su Feifei's eyes widened in horror.
She was well aware of the strength of the man before her. He was even stronger than Emperor Shen Zhui, far surpassing Zhizun realm. Yet, at this moment, he actually kneeled down...
"Who dares to plot against me?"
Not expecting such a situation to occur, Xiang-ge's face contorted in savagery.
"You've been poisoned by the Deity Ghost Heart-deceiving Poison. If you want to live, you'll need someone to willingly offer their blood to you. Otherwise, within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you'll bleed to death from your seven orifices.
A faint voice rang out.
Following the voice, Xiang-ge quickly raised his head and saw a young lady sitting in front of a tea stall. The teacup in her hand was steaming hot.
"Who … are you? There is no enmity between us. Why do you want to kill me? "
He didn't think that the other party would be able to poison him from so far away, rendering him defenseless. Furthermore, the other party's aura was deep and unfathomable, making it difficult for him to see through it with a single glance. Xiang-ge knew that it was impossible for him to stand against the other party, so he didn't dare to act recklessly.
"How can there be so much enmity in the world? I just don't like you!"
Wei Ruyan took a sip of tea and said calmly, "You don't have much time left. If you want to live, hurry up. Don't blame me for not reminding you!"
"I …"
Xiang-ge drove his zhenqi several times, but he soon realized that he was unable to neutralize the poison at all. Most likely, it was just as the other party had said; he needed someone to replace his blood. With a livid face, he turned to Su Feifei and said, "Feifei, come over here!"
"I …"
Knowing what Xiang-ge was thinking, Su Feifei's face paled in fright as she hurriedly retreated.
In the face of death, even true love would find it hard to resist, let alone this kind of poison.
Seeing that Su Feifei had left, Xiang-ge narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why? Are you trying to defy my orders?"
"I …"
Su Feifei trembled in fear.
"You are just a countryside lass. Do you really think that you are that noble? I'll give you riches, but you should know what price you have to pay! Hurry up and replace your blood. If I can recover, I'll dote on you just like before. Otherwise, I'll kill you right here and now! "
Xiang-ge's eyebrows shot up as killing intent surged from his eyes.
To him, Su Feifei and Su Maoqing were nothing more than tools that he could use as he pleased.
"No …"
Knowing that she would die if she replaced her blood, Su Feifei retreated once more. However, barely after she took a few steps back, she suddenly felt a powerful force crushing down on her. Xiang-ge's aura had already enveloped her, and if she were to retreat any further, she would surely be killed on the spot.
Su Feifei's eyes immediately dimmed, and sorrow filled her eyes.
A year ago, there was a man who was truly in love with her who had confessed to her. However, due to his poor background, she had rejected him on the spot … Who could have known that the man would find a good teacher, and his career would soar to the top, such that even Emperor Shen Zhui would treat him as an esteemed guest?
She had thought that she had lost her chance, but a year ago, she met Xiang-ge.
The other party had treated her very well, even building a huge manor for her. She had thought that he was truly in love with her, but at this moment, she realized that … he was just a toy.
"How is it?"
Paying no heed to the bickering between the two, Wei Ruyan turned to her senior with a smile.
Only in the face of death would one be able to test one's true feelings for another. Clearly … the two of them were just making use of one another!
"What she chooses to do is her own business. I can't interfere in it anymore …"
Zheng Yang felt as if a knife was slicing through his heart.
Ever since he was a child, he had always been in love with this lady. In the past, his greatest wish was to be together with her. Never in his dreams did he expect that this would be the result of their meeting once more.
"I'll give you a chance to save the damsel in distress … Don't you want her to regret her actions? This is the perfect opportunity for you to do so! "
Wei Ruyan said, not fearing that the matter would blow up.
"There's no need for that … I've already let go of her!"
Zheng Yang shook his head.
So what if he made the other party regret her actions?
The two of them were already worlds apart, and it was impossible for them to be together ever again.
Furthermore, the other party was someone who despised the poor and loved the rich. Even if they were to be together, it was only because she liked her current identity.
Since that was the case, there was no need for him to waste his efforts.
"It's useless for you to let go of her. If you don't save her, she might die!"
Wei Ruyan raised her head and continued sipping on her tea. She couldn't be bothered to waste her breath on Zhang Xuan.
Zheng Yang quickly raised his head, only to see that Xiang-ge's eyes had already reddened. He raised his hand and pulled Su Feifei toward him. Then, using his finger as a sword, he sliced the young lady's fair wrist lightly, and hot blood immediately spurted out.
Replacing one's blood and bloodline were two different matters altogether. Replacing one's own blood with someone else's was an easy feat for most 2-star physicians, so it wasn't too complicated. Even though Xiang-ge was poisoned, his cultivation wasn't suppressed. As long as he was careful, he would be able to do it as well.
"Stop!"
Seeing that the young lady would surely die if he were to replace her blood, Zheng Yang immediately stood up and shouted.
Xiang-ge turned around with a savage look on his face.
"Zheng Yang … Y-you're back?"
Hearing the voice, the young lady's body trembled. She hurriedly turned to look at the figure walking over, and tears began flowing down her cheeks.
The voice was simply too familiar. It was the obstinate young man who had confessed to her back then, only to be rejected.
At this moment, he was walking over step by step. Under the radiance of the sun, his figure seemed incomparably tall.
