Fan Li looked at Julie lying motionless on the ground, his heart trembled, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "Lillian is sleeping. She's very capable and helped me close several big deals. Master, would you like to talk to her? I'll go wake her up!"
"No need. Just keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't do anything reckless."
Yin Yu's tone was gratified. Although he didn't like this granddaughter, he still liked her because she was capable.
Fan Li breathed a sigh of relief, but his cold sweat poured down even more. Lu Mo held up a cardboard sign in front of him with a message written on it. Fan Li asked with concern, "How is Master's injury? Should I go and get some more medicinal herbs?"
"It's all better now. I'll come to Pingjiang in a while."
Yin Yu's voice was calm, and he didn't tell Fan Li the truth. He had never really trusted this disciple who had joined the sect halfway through his training.
"When will Master be arriving? Please tell me a rough time so I can make the necessary arrangements," Fan Li inquired again.
"It's either before or after the New Year. You just need to have someone clean the courtyard at the foot of the mountain regularly. I'll live there."
Yin Yu asked about some business matters and instructed Fan Li to act quickly before hanging up the phone. Fan Li looked at Lu Mo timidly, wondering if his performance had satisfied this ruthless star.
Lu Mo was calculating the time. There were less than two months left until the New Year. Yin Laogui was definitely up to no good. It would be best to kill Yin Laogui this time to prevent future troubles.
He glanced at Fan Li. This old thing had to stay alive before Yin Yu arrived, otherwise the old ghost would definitely become suspicious.
Ye Qingqing understood his thoughts without asking. "I'll feed him some poison. If he doesn't obey, the poison will take effect immediately, and he'll suffer a hundred times more painfully than that bitch Julie."
Fan Li trembled, looking at Julie, who was almost rotting into blood, with fear. What could be more painful than this?
"I'll definitely obey... If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west..."
Fan Li immediately pledged his loyalty, saying he would do anything to save his life.
Ye Qingqing took out a dark brown pill, about the size of a thumb, with a faint sweet and fishy smell. This was also a new one developed by Zhu Zi, called 'Dragon Scale Breaker'. It sounded nice, but in fact, its toxicity was no less than 'Sorrow', and it was even more painful.
However, after consuming Dragon Scale Broken, one feels nothing, and without a trigger, it will never cause poisoning. Strictly speaking, Dragon Scale Broken is not a poison; it is merely a medicinal ingredient.
After ingesting Dragon Scale Poison, any carbohydrate becomes a trigger. While drinking pure water is harmless, humans cannot survive without food. Therefore, consuming any carbohydrate will cause poisoning, resulting in the body developing fish-scale-like scales that grow larger and larger until they burst.
When all the scales on your body are broken, that's when death will come.
Moreover, the pain during this period is indescribable and can last at least 24 hours, or even longer.
"Don't you feel anything yet? You'll feel it soon, I promise I'm not lying to you."
Ye Qingqing smiled sweetly, and under Fan Li's terrified gaze, she magically produced a jelly, orange-flavored at that, and squeezed it all into Fan Li's mouth.
Fan Li wanted to vomit, but Lu Mo held his chin, so he could only swallow.
The moment the jelly entered his stomach, less than a minute later, Fan Li groaned in pain. Dark red scales sprouted from his exposed skin at a visible speed, and soon his entire body was covered in scales.
