Chapter 651: Fell for It
The three monster beasts stood rooted to the spot and started discussing amongst themselves.
“It was finished just like that? I thought I’d be able to watch a good show, but in the end, all I saw was an old man being scolded,” Big Black Face said regretfully.
“However, I must say it was quite cathartic,” said Xiao Rou who on the other hand, found it extremely interesting. Seeing Ye Qianhe being suffocated by Ling Chuxi’s words, taking her slaps, and being scolded till he was unable to retort, his heart felt a lot more balanced somehow.
“If we go against her in the future, just start attacking. Don’t ever let her have the chance to open her mouth,” Zhen Ye said conclusively.
Her venomous tongue was truly too venomous. She could scold people to the point of them dying from being scolded to death. If she were allowed to open her mouth, then they would just be waiting to vomit blood and there would be no need to fight anymore. Forgetting the fact that a dignified demon emperor young master had been violated by a mere human, if he were to lose against that human without even starting the battle, wouldn’t that be even more humiliating and shameful?
“Young Master, where should we go now?” Big Black Face asked.
“Let’s go and take a look at the traps first,” said Zhen Ye, very curious about the traps.
“Sure. I have never seen someone setting up traps in such a sinister and malicious way, one after another. Let’s go take a look,” said Big Black Face nodding continuously. He was only worried about the chaos they might encounter in this outside world and if he could learn a little about what to avoid, that would be even better.
“I think, why don’t we just forget it?” said Xiao Rou a little worriedly.
His words had barely left his lips when he was dragged over to the traps by Big Black Face. Once again, he followed along without a choice.
“Amazing. Amazing. How did she think of such a trap?” pondered Big Black Face as he carefully studied the traps Ling Chuxi had set despite lamenting constantly.
“Too ruthless, it’s truly too ruthless. Even if a fairy were to pa.s.s by, a layer of their skin would have to be shed,” said Xiao Rou, forgetting about his unease earlier on and was now also studying the traps with a look of excitement.
“Sigh, this opponent is not easy to deal with,” observed Zhen Ye as he held his chin. Although his handsome face still had a hint of immaturity to it, it wore an expression that was heavy and dignified. As he was in deep thought, he subconsciously took a step back as he spoke.
Then, his entire expression froze over, and both his eyes bulged out, big and round.
“Young Master, what’s wrong?” asked Big Black Face and Xiao Rou when they turned around and saw Zhen Ye’s weird expression.
“Why is there a trap here? When did she set it up? Why did I not notice?” Zhen Ye asked bitterly.
He had stepped into a small little earth pit. An incomparably weird and itchy feeling instantly pa.s.sed through his entire body and even his bones felt as though there were ants gnawing on them.
“How could this be?” Zhen Ye suddenly recalled that after Ling Chuxi set up the traps and took a step back, she seemed to have accidentally twisted her foot, causing her to lose her balance and take a hard step into the snow, creating this very pit in which he was standing.
He had originally thought that she was just careless, it never crossed his mind that even this was actually a trap.
The greater the expert at using poison, the more careful one had to be. The harder it is for a trap to be detected, the more one had to be on guard. And lastly, the more potent the poison, the greater the aura. These were the three things that Ling Chuxi had concluded.
Therefore, this snow pit that Ling Chuxi seemingly unintentionally created due to her losing her balance was the true trap. What was used was not a potent poison but one that was hard to notice and even harder to bear—Bone And Heart Itching Powder. The effects of this kind of medical powder had already been tested to perfection on His Highness, Ding Lin Country’s Fifth Prince and Feng Zitian. If one wanted to know how they felt, then one just needed to ask them to find out.
Of course, just asking the future Lord Demon Emperor would work too.
Within the surroundings of icy weather and snowy grounds, Zhen Ye’s small and handsome little face had already flushed red and there was a manic and restless red light flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes.
“Young Master, are you all right? Nothing untoward must happen to you!” cried Big Black Face and Xiao Rou as they pounced over to Zhen Ye’s rescue at the same time even though an idiot could tell that he had already been poisoned.
