After Ren Han left, Shen Nanxing looked down at 'Shen Nanchuan' lying in the shards of the coffee table.
A look of terror flashed in Shen Nanchuan's eyes as he frantically shook his head at him.
At this moment, Jiang Nian'an picked up the vine that was still faintly glowing with golden light from the ground and gently squeezed it.
'Hiss'
The king climbed up to Jiang Nian'an, sniffed the vines gently, and then gave Jiang Nian'an a conclusion.
“Master, this smells of that dark thing you let us smell earlier.”
"Something dark..."
Jiang Nian'an understood the king's meaning after a moment's thought, and took out a small black pill from her spatial storage. "Is this it?"
The king immediately nodded.
Jiang Nian'an's gaze shifted from the king to Shen Nanchuan.
"Hey," Jiang Nian'an walked over to Shen Nanchuan and squatted down, showing him the little black dumpling, "You recognize this thing, right?"
When Shen Nanchuan saw Xiao Hei Wanzi, his pupils suddenly contracted, and then he turned his head to the other side, as if refusing to answer.
'smack'
Shen Nanxing also squatted down and slapped 'Shen Nanchuan' across the face, forcefully pulling his face back.
"My An'an is asking you a question, answer!"
"Mmm-mmm-mmm—"
'Shen Nanchuan' tried to move his mouth, which was stuffed with leaves, and a look of grievance flashed in his eyes.
They stuffed such a big lump of stuff into his mouth, how was he supposed to talk?
Jiang Nian'an: "..."
Oops! Oops!
With a slight movement of her fingers, the leaf that had been blocking 'Shen Nanchuan's' mouth scattered into specks of green light and disappeared into the air.
A look of triumph flashed in Shen Nanchuan's eyes, and he opened his mouth to shout for help.
'Bang!'
Shen Nanxing punched him in the face, and the words "help" stuck in his throat.
"Those who refuse a toast will be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Shen Nanxing withdrew his fist, turned to look at Jiang Nian'an, and his expression softened instantly.
"An'an, is this black ball related to him?"
“Hmm,” Jiang Nian’an nodded and handed him the vine. “The king said this vine has the smell of these black balls.”
Xiao Zi couldn't possibly smell the black pills, so the scent must be coming from his special ability.
Shen Nanxing took the vine, bent down and smelled it, but couldn't smell anything.
He frowned slightly, guessing it was probably because the mutated animals had a more sensitive sense of smell.
"You won't tell, huh?"
Shen Nanxing snorted coldly, took the small black pill from Jiang Nian'an's hand, broke off a small piece, and stuffed it into Shen Nanchuan's mouth.
"No, I won't eat it! I won't eat it!"
'Shen Nanchuan' raised his hand, covered his mouth tightly, and shook his head desperately.
"If you don't want to eat it, just tell us what this dark, unappealing thing is?"
Jiang Nian'an gently grasped Shen Nanxing's hand, her gaze sharp as she stared intently at 'Shen Nanchuan'.
Shen Nanchuan's eyes darted around, his body trembled slightly, and he was panicking, but he kept his lips tightly pressed together and refused to say anything.
Seeing his expression, Jiang Nian'an suddenly let out a sneer.
"A coward trying to portray himself as a tough guy, how ridiculous."
She released Shen Nanxing's hand and gestured with her chin towards the direction of 'Shen Nanchuan'.
"Brother Chen, judging from his appearance, he's not the one in charge. There must be someone else behind him."
Since that's the case, there's no point in asking him; let's just use him as a test subject.
"Um,"
Shen Nanxing gently stroked the small black pill in his hand, raising an eyebrow as he looked at 'Shen Nanchuan'.
"Since they were able to switch people right under our noses, it means that the people behind them must be very familiar with my Shen family."
There are only a handful of people who are familiar with my Shen family and were able to trick my brother into going out to complete this plan.
With a little time, it can always be found out.
Although Shen Nanxing was smiling, his eyes were filled with a sense of oppression as he looked at Shen Nanchuan.
Shen Nanchuan's expression gradually froze as Shen Nanxing spoke.
Shen Nanxing pinched his chin with one hand and put the small black pill into his mouth with the other.
"I'll talk!"
With the little black dumpling about to be imported, and considering what Shen Nanxing had just said, Shen Nanchuan finally gave in after weighing the pros and cons.
"explain!"
Shen Nanxing stopped his hand near Shen Nanchuan's mouth and said coldly.
"But you have to agree to one condition: after I tell you, you have to let me go!"
"Can!"
Shen Nanxing nodded without the slightest hesitation.
This delightfully aroused suspicion in Shen Nanchuan's heart.
But he had no other choice but to speak up.
"I don't know the specifics, I only know that it's a drug that can enhance superpowers."
Jiang Nian'an looked at Shen Nanchuan with a scrutinizing gaze.
"It can enhance superpowers? That's a good thing! If that's the case, why don't you dare eat it?"
Shen Nanchuan choked, his eyes filled with horror as he glanced at the small black pill in Shen Nanxing's hand, and shook his head violently.
"Although it can enhance superpowers, you can't eat too much of it, or you'll explode and die."
"Died from an explosion?"
Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing exchanged a glance and instantly understood his meaning.
"So you're saying that the energy our alien energy sphere can hold is limited, and exceeding that limit will result in death, right?"
Yunfan stepped forward, his brows furrowed, and asked in a deep voice, "Shen Nanchuan?"
Shen Nanchuan nodded hurriedly, "That's what I mean!"
Yunhua walked over to Yunfan, patted him lightly on the back, and said with a smile, "Not bad, little brother, you've been smart this time!"
"Hmph, what do you mean by 'being smart this once'? I've always been smart, I just usually keep it hidden."
