Chapter 111 It’s hard to enjoy the happiness of having two wives
Qing Yi was playing with the small black box in his hand. The box was made very delicately, but the edge of the box was engraved with strange symbols, like some mysterious totem, or some ancient text, which was hard to understand.
"Who is that person?" Qing Yi couldn't help but ask, referring to the man in black next to the third prince.
"Canglan, the third prince's lover." Ye Qingyu took a sip of the prune wine. He had not touched the wine just now. Seeing that Qingyi had drunk it, he took a sip now.
"Ah? Oh, it's the third prince's male favorite you mentioned last time. How could he be such a person?" Qing Yi suddenly realized.
"Hmm. I didn't expect him to be such a person." Ye Qingyu sighed slightly. Like Qingyi, he didn't expect the third prince's male favorite to be such a person. He originally thought he was a scholar with some talent and knowledge.
"There's something off about that guy," Qing Yi said, frowning. He carefully opened the small box in his hand. Inside, a dozen or so black pills were neatly arranged, emitting a faint, indescribable scent.
"Something's wrong?" Ye Qingyu repeated. He knew very well that Qing Yi's intuition had always been very sharp, and he could often notice details that ordinary people could hardly find.
"Hmm, I need to think about it!" Qing Yi leaned in close to the pill and sniffed it, his mind filled with confusion. What on earth was this? Was it really as the Third Prince said, beneficial to martial artists?
"According to the third prince, Canglan's family has been practicing medicine for generations." Ye Qingyu said on the side. The third prince did not introduce the people around him in detail just now. He only said that his name was Canglan and he knew medical skills.
"Practicing medicine?" Qing Yi frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he gently placed the black box containing the Nine Profound Pills on the table. Then, he reached into his waist pocket and pulled out a small red box.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Ye Qingyu subconsciously took a few steps back when he saw the red box, putting some distance between him and Qing Yi. He secretly wondered how many scorpions Qing Yi had brought back from the Western Regions, and why he always carried these terrifying things with him.
"Uh, Xiaoye, what are you afraid of? Come here and take a look!" Qingyi shook his head helplessly when he saw Ye Qingyu's big reaction to the little scorpion. He thought to himself, when Xiaoye can live in peace with the little scorpion, then he will be able to enjoy the "blessing of having two wives".
Qing Yi slowly opened the box, revealing a tiny scorpion curled up inside. This scorpion was far less venomous than the one that had saved Ye Qingyu yesterday, but sadly, that one was already dead. Qing Yi carefully picked up the tiny scorpion and placed it on the table. He then pulled out a pill from the black box that the Third Prince had just given him and placed it on the table as well.
The little scorpion first slowly sniffed the pill, seemingly fascinated by it. Then, it gently pricked the pill with its venomous stinger. Then, something strange happened: the little scorpion suddenly vanished with a whoosh.
"What's going on?" Ye Qingyu asked in confusion.
"Xiao Ye, it seems that Canglan is not an ordinary person. Although I am not sure whether this pill is good for you, it will be of great benefit to me in practicing the Hundred Poisons Magic Art." Qing Yi showed a proud smile.
"Really?" Ye Qingyu couldn't help but ask. If this pill is really beneficial to Qingyi's martial arts training, then it would be great.
"Well, I released this little scorpion just to test the efficacy of this pill. I guess this person is very likely to make poison." Qing Yi analyzed.
"Poison?"
"Well, from the first moment I saw him, I felt that there was something strange about him. It's not that there was anything strange about his appearance, but that he exuded a special smell. If a person deals with poison for a long time, he will have a unique smell on his body, just like when I was a child and tried all kinds of poisons, I would also have poison gas on my body." Qing Yi explained patiently.
"So that's how it is. Where did the Third Prince get to know this person?" Ye Qingyu couldn't help but worry whether that person had any ulterior motives.
"Why do you care so much? Anyway, he gave you this pill, so they can show some gratitude." Qing Yi said nonchalantly.
"Well, since you think it's useful, just keep it and use it." Ye Qingyu nodded. He has always trusted Qing Yi very much.
"Give it all to me? This is a special gift for you." Qing Yi raised his eyebrows and joked deliberately.
"If you don't want it, just throw it away." Ye Qingyu knew that Qing Yi was taking advantage of it, so he said unhappily.
"Hahahaha, wouldn't it be a pity to throw it away? Besides, you are mine, so your things naturally belong to me." Qing Yi said shamelessly with a grin.
"Haha, I don't want your stuff. Hurry up and find your treasure!" Ye Qingyu snorted coldly. Whenever he thought of having a lively little scorpion beside him, he felt uncomfortable all over, fearing that the little scorpion would crawl into his clothes in a while.
"Hehe, my baby? Aren't you my baby?" Qing Yi smiled foolishly. Of course he knew Xiao Ye was referring to the little scorpion, so he deliberately made a joke.
"Hurry up and find the little scorpion! Otherwise, I will not let you off easily!" Ye Qingyu felt creepy thinking that the little scorpion might be nearby, and could not help but urge.
"Hey, hey, I get it, I get it. You're such a grown-up, but why are you so timid that you're even afraid of a bug." Although Qing Yi said this, he still pretended to look here and there, searching slowly and leisurely.
"Hey, Xiao Ye, don't move, don't move, I think I saw it." Qing Yi suddenly came to Ye Qingyu and pointed at the chair behind him.
Don't move? How can that be! Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyu was so frightened that he jumped to the side, his eyes fixed on the place where Qing Yi pointed, but after looking for a long time, there was nothing. Only then did he realize that this kid was teasing him.
"Hahahahahahahaha..." Qing Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw this.
"You!" This brat really deserves a beating.
