In the dead of night, the Duke of Qin's Hibiscus Courtyard was even quieter.
The lanterns in Leisurely Cloud Pavilion were still lit. From a distance, one could see a beautiful figure standing in front of the window. It was Han Yunxi.
Long Fei Ye stood in the garden's corridor and watched from a distance. He looked hesitant for a long time, but in the end, he still went over.
Before Long Fei Ye even reached the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion's courtyard, Han Yunxi spotted him. She hurried downstairs and ran to Long Fei Ye with a smile. "You're back!"
She'd been waiting for Long Fei Ye ever since he left. She'd wanted to continue studying the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion, but she couldn't calm down no matter what.
Tang Zijin was Long Fei Ye's uncle and the head of the Tang Clan. He was probably on the same side as Aunt Ru. Actually, she really didn't understand why Aunt Ru was so hostile towards her.
Although she'd never met Tang Zijin, Han Yunxi knew that he wasn't a good person based on how he'd forced Tang Li to marry him.
Long Fei Ye definitely didn't know that Han Yunxi had been standing in front of the window all night.
Han Yunxi was very happy, but Long Fei Ye was very calm. He only nodded and walked into the study.
Although this guy was always Cold and indifferent, Han Yunxi could clearly sense that he wasn't in a good mood.
She followed him in and asked, "The Tang Clan … did something happen?"
Long Feiye examined the various poison plants on her desk as he replied, "I'm fine."
"Oh …" Han Yunxi was a little resentful. She knew there was something going on, he just didn't want to talk about it.
Long Fei Ye soon saw the poison orchids that Han Yunxi had stored in a glass bottle. They were the highly corrosive plants they'd picked from the underground labyrinth of the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds.
"Any progress with the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion?" he asked mildly.
He had given the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion to Han Yunxi some time ago. What he wanted was the recipe for the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion.
Although Han Yunxi was busy these days, she didn't forget about it.
There were two types of poisons. One was a single poison, and the other was a combination poison.
Single poison. Poison, as the name suggests, was a single type of poison.
Poisons that existed in nature, such as poisonous plants, animals, and stones, were mostly single poisons.
Combined poison was the abbreviation for mixed poison.
Most of the poisons that were concocted by humans were mixed together to form a new poison. For example, the Ten-Thousand Snake Poison that Mu Qingwu was afflicted with was a typical example.
Although the combination poison was a mixture of many poisons, there was only one type of poison after the mixture was made.
The Poison Orchid was very peculiar. Its existence was beyond the scope of these two classifications.
The Detoxification System couldn't detect the toxicity of the Poison Orchid, but it could detect several types of single toxins in the Poison Orchid.
Logically speaking, the Poison Orchid should be a combination poison. Because the Detoxification System didn't have a record of it, it couldn't detect its toxicity.
Han Yunxi had analyzed all of the single toxins in the Poison Orchid and found all of them to make a new type of poison. As a result, the Detoxification System had a record of it.
However, when she checked the Poison Orchid again, she still couldn't detect any toxicity.
In other words, the new type of poison she made after analyzing the Poison Orchid wasn't the poison of the Poison Orchid itself.
The Detoxification System's analysis was the most accurate. It could even analyze the amount of poison in the Poison Orchid and make a new type of poison according to that amount.
According to this principle, the Detoxification System could detect the poison of the Poison Orchid!
Han Yunxi couldn't understand it no matter how much she thought about it. She almost suspected that there was a problem with her Detoxification System. In the end, she understood.
"The method I used was to extract each type of poison and then make a new type of poison according to the ratio. The Poison Orchid was grown, so its toxicity might be different. That's why the new type of poison I made wasn't the poison of the Poison Orchid," Han Yunxi explained seriously.
A layman would probably be confused by her explanation, but Long Fei Ye immediately understood.
He said, "So, the Poison Orchid is a new type of Poison Orchid that was created by crossing various types of single poison herbs."
"Right! This should be a hybrid type of Poison Orchid! "Han Yunxi really thought that this guy was smart!
This type of hybrid method wasn't new. Medicine Ghost Valley's Gu Qi Sha was an expert in this field, but he cultivated medicinal herbs instead of poisons.
"Perhaps the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion was also cultivated." Long Fei Ye muttered to himself.
Han Yunxi still hadn't been able to detect the poison of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion, not even the tiniest bit. She had always been very careful when it came to poisons. "That's hard to say. Your Highness, the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion is something from the Poison Sect, right?"
"Mn." Long Fei Ye nodded, then said, "Whoever obtains the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion controls the world."
Han Yunxi had asked this question before, but Long Fei Ye had said that she didn't need to know that much. She hadn't expected that he would take the initiative to say so much today.
Han Yunxi felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. She felt like she was one step closer to this man and knew more about him.
Of course, she was also very surprised. She hadn't expected the secret of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion to be like this.
Whoever obtains the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion controls the world. How did she understand this?
"One type of poison can conquer the world?" Han Yunxi expressed her confusion.
"That's what this prince wants to know as well. How can one type of poison conquer the world?"
Long Fei Ye had pondered this question for more than ten years. He didn't want to believe it, but this was something his mother had exchanged with her life. These were the last words his mother had said before she committed suicide. "Ye 'er, one type of poison conquers the world. This is all your mother can give you!"
"What about the Beauty's Blood? What's the deal with the Beauty's Blood? " Han Yunxi asked seriously. She had waited so late because she was worried about him, but also because she wanted to know what the Beauty's Blood was used for.
Even though Aunt Ru had warned him, and even though Tang Zijin had been paying attention to this matter, Long Fei Ye didn't hide it from Han Yunxi. "The Perplexing Butterfly Illusion formula is mixed with the Beauty's Blood. That's where the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion comes in."
Han Yunxi knew that the Beauty's Blood had something to do with the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion!
"Uses? What does the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion do?" Han Yunxi was even more confused. Aside from poisoning, what else could it be used for?
Long Fei Ye had long suspected that his mufei knew how to conquer the world with the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion. She just didn't want to tell him.
Long Fei Ye glanced at Han Yunxi without a word. He walked around the study table, looking at the poisons on the table as he fell into deep thought.
"Your Highness, does it have to be the Beauty's Blood?" Han Yunxi wanted to ask. Does it have to conquer the world with the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion?
Long Fei Ye seemed to understand what she meant. His eyes flashed with a domineering determination. "Han Yunxi, the world is bigger than you think."
The world he wanted wasn't just limited to Tianning or the three nations. He wanted all of Cloud Realm Continent, and even overseas!
Han Yunxi gave a slight start. She always knew that Long Fei Ye wasn't a person who lived in a small pond, but she never expected him to have such wild ambitions.
Long Fei Ye wasn't part of Tianning's imperial clan, but he still hadn't fought against Emperor Tianhui despite holding great power. She always assumed that he had no interest in Tianning's imperial power, but now it looked like he wanted to use Tianning as a stepping stone.
"What about the Great Qin Empire's world?" Han Yunxi suddenly recalled Cloud Realm Continent's golden age.
Long Fei Ye didn't answer her. He stopped walking and said, "Prepare the medicine for Baili Mingxiang. Get the Beauty's Blood as soon as possible. Perhaps it'll help you break through the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion."
"Your Highness, it's supposed to take a lifetime to cultivate the poison blood. Once the time limit is shortened, Baili Mingxiang will be in so much pain that he'll wish he was dead," Han Yunxi reminded him.
Normally, a slow-acting poison every two to three months would take a person a lifetime to use 300 different poisons.
"No one can wait an entire lifetime," Long Fei Ye said.
"That's too cruel," Han Yunxi was both a doctor and a woman. In the end, she couldn't bear it.
"An entire lifetime is the cruelest," Long Fei Ye's voice was as cold as ice.
Han Yunxi pursed her lips in silence. She looked at his grim profile and felt like she could see his cold, emotionless heart. Her heart couldn't help but shiver.
Just how cold was this man's heart?
Had he ever hesitated over Baili Mingxiang's loyal subordinates?
But he was right. An entire lifetime was the cruelest.
"Next time you go to General Baili's estate, remember to bring the medicine with you."
Long Fei Ye instructed before turning to leave. Han Yunxi was lost in her thoughts, her expression grave.
But at this moment, Zhao mama was about to bring supper to the study and blocked Long Fei Ye's path.
"Your highness, please wait. This old servant knew you were coming, so I specially made your favorite snow lotus seed soup."
Zhao mama smiled until her eyes were covered in wrinkles. Only the heavens knew what she was so happy about. In short, she had been in the kitchen all night, cooking soup while smiling.
"Your highness, you haven't eaten it in several years. Quickly try it and see if this old servant's skills have deteriorated."
Long Fei Ye didn't even look at the snow lotus seed soup, but he still went back to sit down.
Zhao mama was overjoyed and quickly brought over two bowls of lotus seed soup, "Princess consort, quickly try it. This is what his highness has liked to eat since he was young."
Han Yunxi scooped up a spoonful and saw that the snow lotus seed had been boiled until it was gummy. It was still crystal clear and the lotus seed opened to reveal the tender green core. The soup was just right.
With this appearance, Han Yunxi felt her mouth watering. Long Fei Ye liked things, so it must be a delicacy.
Long Fei Ye had already begun eating. He held the bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other. His eyes were lowered as he quietly ate. His every movement was elegant and noble.
Han Yunxi knew for the first time that Long Fei Ye liked something. She couldn't wait to know what it tasted like, but who would have thought that as soon as it entered her mouth, she would immediately spit it out!
What kind of taste was this!
Wasn't it too bland?
Long Fei Ye looked up and knit his brows. Zhao mama quickly came over, "Princess consort, why did you choke?"
Han Yunxi hadn't choked at first, but she was in a hurry to answer Zhao mama. As soon as she spoke, she was choked by the remaining juice in her mouth.
"Ke, ke ….. ke ….." She suddenly coughed and couldn't breathe.
Long Fei Ye was very anxious and quickly sat down to pat her back.
Zhao mama originally wanted to help, but seeing this, she quickly pulled her hand back as if it was burned. She sternly said, "Your highness, princess consort has choked. Patting her back is useless, you have to pat the front!"
