"Hahahaha, you delivered yourself to our doorstep, you deserve to die."
The woman laughed arrogantly, looking down at Zhang Fan with smug satisfaction.
Zhang Fan clutched his stomach, looking pained, and opened his mouth as if to say something.
The woman couldn't hear clearly, so she moved closer to Zhang Fan and finally heard what he was saying: "You lost."
Before she could react, Zhang Fan flicked a silver needle from his fingertip. The needle landed on her body with incredible speed, and she seemed to be sealed in place, unable to move.
Under her shocked gaze, Zhang Fan slowly stood up, showing no signs of being poisoned whatsoever.
"Your poison has little effect on me." His physical strength is now more than ten times that of an ordinary person, so poison will have little effect on him.
With the addition of his internal spiritual energy, the poison was expelled in a short time.
His scrutinizing gaze was fixed on the woman's eyes, and he then noticed that her pupils were deep black, like black holes, very different from the people he usually saw.
Chi Mei glared at Zhang Fan, then suddenly her pupils widened, her eyes hardening, and a green shadow flew towards Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan casually pinched his finger, and a bright green bamboo leaf appeared at his fingertip, causing Chi Mei's eyes to fill with panic.
"You don't still have poison on you, do you?"
Zhang Fan casually tossed the bamboo leaf green into the wall with a thud. The green seemed a little dizzy and kept rolling around on the ground.
When Chi Mei saw the bamboo viper, her eyes filled with tears, and her heart was breaking.
Zhang Fan walked quickly toward her and reached out to touch her all over.
The rich fragrance of flowers filled Zhang Fan's nostrils, making him feel as if he were in a valley full of wildflowers. Perhaps it was Zhang Fan's actions that made Chi Mei nervous, as the fragrance of flowers at the tip of her nose became even stronger.
Although it tastes delicious, it is fraught with danger.
These floral scents, on the surface, are merely incense, but as the bamboo viper attacks Zhang Fan, it also releases venom, spraying it onto Chi Mei.
The venom mixed with the fragrance of flowers instantly transformed Chi Mei into a massive poison.
However, Zhang Fan did not faint as expected. Instead, he cleanly and efficiently examined her body. He smelled the poison in the air and secretly marveled at how poison could be used.
As Zhang Fan examined her body, she was overwhelmed by immense shame. She wished she could tear Zhang Fan apart, drink his blood, and devour his flesh.
Zhang Fan noticed her unfriendly gaze, smiled slightly, gently pulled off the veil from Chi Mei's face, and muttered, "Let me see how ugly you are."
The veil fell away, revealing a stunningly beautiful face adorned with a large circle of silver rings around her neck and a batik dress.
Because of this action, two lines of clear tears flowed down Chi Mei's pretty face, and glistening teardrops hung on her curled eyelashes, making her look pitiful.
But Zhang Fan felt no pity. After all, this was a witch who treated human life like dirt and had just tried to kill him. She was a femme fatale, and he wouldn't be soft-hearted towards her.
It must be said that this femme fatale has a great figure, with everything in the right places, but unfortunately, she has a vicious heart.
Zhang Fan touched her for a while, then pulled out a yellowed book from her underwear. The book was written in characters that Zhang Fan did not recognize.
Chi Mei made a whimpering sound of resistance through his nose. Seeing how agitated the woman was, he knew that this book was no ordinary book, so he quickly put it into his pocket.
After confirming that Chi Mei had nothing that could threaten him, Zhang Fan flicked out four silver needles, which landed on Chi Mei's limbs, sealing her off.
After removing the silver needle from Chi Mei's brow, Zhang Fan looked down at the woman and asked, "How did you control Wei Yangze?"
When Wei Yangze sees Wei Lai and Leng Juan, he can't help but want to get closer, but the words he says are hurtful.
Chi Mei tried to remove it, but as soon as she raised her hand, she felt a piercing pain in her arm, as if a million ants were gnawing at her bones and blood. She screamed in agony, a pain a hundred or a thousand times worse than when she was bitten by the Gu worms as a child.
She only felt much better when she was in so much pain that she collapsed to the ground, unable to resist any longer.
Chi Mei raised her head again, her eyes filled with shock, her whole being enveloped in immense despair, and pleaded, "I'll talk, I'll tell you everything, just take this thing off me first."
Zhang Fan's eyes were icy, and his voice was stern: "You have no right to bargain. Answer now!"
Chi Mei had no choice but to tell the truth.
She was originally from Miao territory, and her ancestral teachings allowed her descendants to leave the village. Chi Mei had attended school for a few days and learned about the outside world, so she stole the Gu insects and ancient books enshrined in the ancestral hall and ran away.
Chi Mei used a secret technique recorded in an ancient book to transfer Wei Yangze's soul. According to the book, the person whose soul was transferred would become a puppet and obey any command of the caster.
However, Chi Mei's skills were limited, and it took many attempts to get Wei Yangze to obey completely. But when Wei Yangze got close to Wei Lai and her son, he was still somewhat out of control.
Chi Mei convinced Wei Yangze that Leng Juan married him for his money, that the child wasn't his, and that only Wei Qingcai was good to him.
Zhang Fan asked, puzzled, "Why are you in such a hurry to make a move?"
If they perform the soul transfer a few more times, Wei Yangze will definitely obey them completely. And most importantly, they can ask Wei Yangze to leave Jiangcheng and go to the capital.
Chi Mei said helplessly, "It's too late. If Wei Qing can't come up with the money, he'll die, and I'll lose my commission."
As they were talking, Butler Dai suddenly received a phone call saying that a group of people were looking for Wei Qing everywhere, and they were holding a lawyer's letter. They asked if he wanted to be let in.
As soon as Butler Dai heard this, he knew something was wrong and quickly consulted Leng Juan. Leng Juan forced herself to calm down and went to ask what had happened.
Wei Qing is a gambler. Not long ago, he got into a traffic jam in Kyoto and lost several games in a row, accumulating debts of up to 100 million yuan. So he set his sights on the Wei family's assets.
