A faint fragrance permeated the waterside pavilion.
Li Huan sniffed and deliberately asked, "What's that smell?"
Zhao Min raised the wooden sword, her face beaming with smiles: "This sword was soaked in water infused with flower petals. When it is drawn from its sheath, it exudes a wonderful fragrance."
It's true that the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at deceiving people.
Li Huan took another deep breath of the fragrance, feigning intoxication.
Zhang Wuji, Yang Xiao, the White-browed Eagle King, Xiao Zhao, and others smiled without saying a word and immediately drank.
The wine contains fragments of the bulb of "Drunken Immortal Lotus," which naturally has a detoxifying effect after drinking it.
Zhao Min looked delighted and began to practice her swordplay.
Li Huan ate the spicy crayfish while enjoying the spectacle.
"Miss Zhao has a great figure, no, her swordsmanship is superb!"
His gaze was intense, fixed intently on Zhao Min's slender waist.
Zhao Min sensed Li Huan's ambiguous intentions, her face flushed slightly, and she suddenly increased the speed of her sword dance.
"How despicable! How despicable!"
Li Huan continued to praise, and took a sip of wine.
After about half a cup of tea's time, Zhao Min suddenly sheathed her sword, clasped her hands in a fist and said, "This humble woman has made a fool of herself!"
Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Miss Zhao's swordsmanship is superb; she must have received guidance from a master."
Wei Yixiao said, "Eating delicious boxed lunches, drinking fine wine, and watching beautiful women dance with swords—what a wonderful day!"
Zhao Min sat at the table with a smile on her face.
She also smelled the fragrance of the mixture of "Qiling Xiangmu" and "Zuixian Lingfu", but remained extremely calm.
This fully demonstrates that the antidote was taken beforehand.
Li Huan picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of scallion pancake, and placed it on Zhao Min's plate.
"This fried dough is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious scallion flavor. Miss Zhao must try it."
Zhao Min was confident and immediately tasted the scallion pancake, waiting for the Ming Cult members to take the poison and become dizzy.
Creak...creak...
From Zhao Min's lips and teeth came the crisp sound of scallion pancakes crackling.
Snap!
A wine glass fell to the ground.
Yang Buhui's face flushed, and she said with a smile, "My head... is a little dizzy..."
Instantly, Zhao Min's eyes lit up, thinking that the deadly poisons of "Qilingxiangmu" and "Zuixianlingfu" were beginning to take effect.
Yang Xiao said, "Bu Hui, stop drinking. You're already drunk."
Yang Buhui said, "This Shaoxing wine, aged for eighteen years, has quite a strong aftereffect."
Li Huan said, "Drink more seaweed and egg drop soup; it can help with hangovers."
Yang Buhui hummed in agreement, picked up the soup bowl, and drank a few sips of seaweed and egg drop soup.
"It tastes delicious, so good, so good!"
Zhao Min's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Yang Buhui did not appear to be poisoned.
Looking at Li Huan and the others, they were all in high spirits and showed no signs of poisoning.
A look of surprise flashed in Zhao Min's eyes.
She then noticed that Zhang Wuji's clothes were soaked.
"Vice Chief Zhang, why are you soaking wet?"
Zhang Wuji laughed and said, "I have a problem: after three cups of wine, I will inevitably be drenched in sweat, so my clothes will be soaked with sweat."
After saying that, Zhang Wuji raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Zhao Min believed it to be true, but her doubts only grew stronger.
Why were the members of the Ming Cult not poisoned after smelling the fragrance of "Qilingxiangmu"?
Could it be that the fragrance was too faint to poison them?
"Master Li, would you be so kind as to demonstrate your swordsmanship so that this humble woman can feast her eyes on it?"
Zhao Min smiled and looked directly into Li Huan's eyes.
Li Huan stood up: "Alright, I'll also perform a sword routine to entertain everyone!"
Zhao Min quickly picked up the fake Heaven Sword and handed it to Li Huan.
"Please use the wooden sword, Master Li!"
Holy crap, Zhao Min is really cunning.
She had Li Huan draw his wooden sword and demonstrate his swordsmanship, thus continuing to emit the fragrance of "Qilingxiangmu" (a type of fragrant wood).
Li Huan did not refuse. He reached out and took the fake Yitian Sword, drew it out with a swift motion, and leaped out of the water pavilion!
Li Huan then displayed his superb lightness skill, standing atop the "Drunken Immortal Lotus" in the pool, and began to wield his sword.
The "Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword Technique" from the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra!
Li Huan's movements were graceful and his swordplay was fierce, leaving the audience mesmerized and captivated.
Zhao Min was both shocked and puzzled.
Li Huan held a wooden sword and smelled the fragrance of "Qilingxiangmu" (奇鲮香木). He was also standing on "Zuixianlingfu" (醉仙灵芙), where he could smell the fragrance of flowers. How come he wasn't poisoned yet?
Could it be that the fragrance of the wooden sword has truly lost its effectiveness?
Zhao Min frowned slightly, beginning to ponder a new strategy...
After Li Huan finished practicing the "Jade Maiden's Pure Heart Sword Technique," he flew back to the waterside pavilion and inserted the wooden sword into its scabbard.
"Master Li's swordsmanship and lightness skills have reached the pinnacle. I admire them immensely!"
Zhao Min praised him warmly, raised her wine glass, and toasted Li Huan.
Li Huan drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Min asked, "I wonder which sect's unique sword technique Leader Li used?"
Li Huan laughed and said, "This is the 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique' of the Ancient Tomb Sect, which has been lost to the martial arts world for a long time."
Zhao Min hurriedly said, "I really like this sword technique. I wonder if Leader Li would be willing to teach it to me?"
Li Huan shook his head.
Zhao Min said, "What if I buy another thousand boxed meals from Master Li?"
Clearly, Zhao Min intended to use the opportunity of learning swordsmanship to keep Li Huan at Green Willow Manor so she could continue to poison him and the Ming Cult members.
bite!
The "God-level Lunch Box System" emitted a notification sound.
