Lan Yue screamed and fell in the middle of the crowd. She felt the gazes cast at her and her face suddenly turned red. When she raised her eyes, she met a pair of gloomy eyes.
How could there be any controlled confusion in those purple eyes? It was so cold that her heart sank...
"No! Impossible!"
Why, why did the puppet poison fail?
Dong Feiran was equally shocked. He was clearly the one who administered the poison, but it lost its effect on Ye Wuchen... How was this possible?
His face darkened, and his eyes were filled with turmoil.
"Are you still curious about why I'm not poisoned?" Ye Wuchen raised the corners of his lips and smiled coldly, "You think too highly of yourselves that you want to control me with just puppet poison. Don't forget, my wife is an alchemist!"
From the beginning, they felt that the tea in front of them was poisoned. And Ye Wuchen's massage for Mu Ruyue in public was not to show his affection, but because he took advantage of that time to put the antidote pill into her hand without Mu Ruyue noticing.
It’s just a small puppet poison, how could it deceive them?
Ye Wuchen curled his lips and sneered, casting a sinister gaze on Lan Yue's pale face. In order to lure this woman to appear, his acting was not in vain...
"Why? You obviously weren't poisoned, so why did you lie to us?" Lan Yue's face changed drastically. She was no longer as elegant and calm as usual, and she shouted angrily.
"Let me explain this," Mu Ruyue looked up at Lan Yue with a faint expression, "Because you deliberately concealed your breath, I couldn't find you after searching for a while, so I had to let Wuchen pretend to fall into your trap. At the moment he fell into the trap, your heartbeat was unstable, so we found you."
However, Lan Yue's strength alone is not enough to achieve this. What kind of treasure should she be carrying...
Lan Yue's face darkened little by little.
She knew that she had lost this time, and she had lost completely. No matter what, she was indeed no match for this woman, and this time was no exception!
She smiled bitterly, and that smile was filled with chilling coldness. She cast a sharp look at Mu Ruyue: "Even so, do you think you can rest easy? Don't dream, a strong man you never expected will attack you from behind!"
An unexpected strong man?
Mu Ruyue and Ye Wuchen looked at each other, their eyes darkened. It seemed that Lan Yue was not the mastermind, and there was someone else behind her...
"Tell me your purpose." Mu Ruyue looked down at the woman on the ground coldly, with a chill in her eyes.
Lan Yue sneered and slowly closed her eyes. After a long while, she opened them again. "This plan has failed. It doesn't hurt to tell you that I want Ye Wuchen's essence, which can only be obtained through dual cultivation. The eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion is undoubtedly the best candidate. It's a pity that I was defeated by you in the end. Haha."
Only this man's essence can allow her to accomplish that task. So, it seems that she can only settle for the next best thing...
"Ms. Lan Yue, what do you mean by this?" Dong Feiran looked at Lan Yue in surprise and asked in a daze.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Lan Yue sneered: "Lord City Lord, I'm sorry that I used you. The essence of heaven and earth was indeed made up by me, but I had no choice. In order to achieve my goal..."
