Zu An's heart sank. This was really troublesome. He couldn't admit defeat, but he couldn't just abandon Yu Yanluo because of her situation. It was a headache.
"No!" Yu Yanluo cried out urgently, "Don't give up!"
Zuan: "???"
The others also gave the two strange looks.
Yu Yanluo then realized that her words were ambiguous, as if an antidote was unnecessary, and her jade-like cheeks flushed crimson.
She hurriedly explained, "The main problem is that cooperating with them is like asking a tiger for its skin. We might gain more in the short term, but eventually the court will find out, and then the entire Yu family will be finished."
The Yu family is already incredibly wealthy from their business dealings in Yuan Stones, so there's absolutely no need for them to take such a huge risk.
Kong Qing smiled and said, "So that's what you're worried about, Madam. You can rest assured about that. Yunzhong County is far from the capital, and the Second Master of the Governor's Office is one of our own. We'll be united as one. Even if the court sends people to investigate, they won't find anything. If the situation gets really bad, we can just send one or two scapegoats out. It won't endanger you at all."
Yu Yanluo ignored him and looked at Zu An. She pursed her red lips and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Take me away from here quickly."
She could clearly feel something was wrong with her body; warm currents were coursing through her body, making her feel flustered and uneasy.
There were too many demons in the area, and there were also perverts like the Venomous Child. Naturally, she didn't want to stay here after being drugged, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Okay!” Zuan obviously knew that they couldn’t stay here for long, so he went over to help her up.
Upon feeling his touch, Yu Yanluo trembled all over.
At this moment, the Venomous Child leaped in front of them, blocking their path, and chuckled, "Why are you walking so fast? We haven't finished our competition yet!"
At the same time, he gazed greedily at Yu Yanluo's chest, as if he really wanted to drink her milk.
Yu Yanluo got goosebumps all over her body and quickly shrank behind Zu An, as if she could only feel safer by his side.
"Get out of my way!" Zu An said in a deep voice.
"Oh dear, I'm so scared!" The Viper Child jumped back, shaking a rattle drum and patting his chest, looking terrified.
At this moment, Kong Qing coughed and said, "Brother Zu, please calm down. However, your competition is indeed not over yet. If I let you go like this, I won't be able to explain myself when I get back."
Zuan frowned and looked at the Poison Child beside him: "Then all we need to do is defeat this family, right?"
Kong Qing nodded slightly: "Not bad."
Now that Yu Yanluo has been poisoned and lost her fighting ability, and Zaun has fought many battles in a row, she must be quite exhausted.
Moreover, the Venomous Child is a well-known figure in the evil path. He has considerable cultivation and is skilled in using poison, which makes many experts turn pale at the mere mention of his name.
"Alright, come on then." After saying that, Zu An turned around and comforted Yu Yanluo, "Don't worry, Madam, I'll take care of it soon."
The Venomous Child chuckled: "Oh ho, kid, what an arrogant tone."
Zuan ignored him and helped Yu Yanluo sit down in the corner, letting her lean against the ice wall to use the cold air on the ice to slightly suppress the effects of the medicine in her body.
However, as soon as Yu Yanluo touched the ice wall, she shuddered and immediately moved forward. Clearly, her nature of being afraid of the cold made her unwilling to come into contact with ice even at this moment.
Seeing this, Zu'an could only look up at the Venomous Child and shout, "Die!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than his figure appeared beside him.
The Venomous Child was greatly alarmed. Although he had seen him fight before and was prepared, he was still startled by experiencing it firsthand.
He rubbed the rattle in his hand, and the rattle quickly shook and flew towards the other party.
Jian Taiding nodded secretly in approval. This short fellow was quite capable; he could control the rattle drum with ease, almost as skillfully as a master's flying sword.
Moreover, he keenly sensed that as the two small balls on the rattle drum struck the drumhead, waves of sound rippled outwards, which would obviously also have a mental impact on people, causing the enemy's reaction to become sluggish.
He felt dizzy just listening to it. You have to know that he was already a Grandmaster. Although he was seriously injured, his soul was already formed. He was still greatly affected. You can see how much pressure Zu An was under at this time.
However, he hesitated at this moment. He had supported everyone who fought against Zuan before, but if this Viper Child really won and then gave his sister-in-law that kind of potent drug, would he really go and drink her milk?
The image of that grotesque dwarf body sprawling on Yu Yanluo flashed through Jian Taiding's mind, sending a chill down his spine.
Compared to this guy, Zaun is actually easier to accept.
Bah, bah, bah, how could I have such thoughts? Of course, I'll wait for the Viper Child to win, then I'll discuss it with Kong Qing and have him hand over the Jade Smoke Vine to me.
We've been friends for a while, and he'll need to rely on me for his business in Yunzhong County in the future, so I have to give him face.
My sister-in-law always refused me before, but this time she can't refuse, right?
Thinking of the wonderful things, he couldn't help but swallow hard, but his smile quickly froze.
With a single dragon's roar, Zu'an seemed to draw a sword from the void, and with a flash of cold light, the rattle drum shattered into pieces.
It...it exploded?
Jian Taiding was shocked. He knew that this rattle drum was obviously a magic weapon, and as a weapon of the Poison Child, it should be at least of the Earth or even Heaven level. How could it be destroyed in one fell swoop?
His gaze fell on the long sword in the other person's hand. It seemed that he had been injured by this sword last time.
No wonder the injuries were so difficult to heal; could this sword be a celestial-grade weapon?
At this moment, Zuan was completely unaware of the covetous glint in someone's eyes from the corner. He had only one thought in mind: to get rid of that despicable guy as soon as possible.
