Before Liu Qianxun's words had faded, a gentle breeze brushed against her cheek. In the blink of an eye, the pill in her hand was gone, held by Bai Zihe. The next second, Bai Zihe, right before Liu Qianxun's eyes, tilted his head back and swallowed the pill.
"Bai Zihe, did you really eat the medicine?" Liu Qianxun couldn't quite believe it.
Bai Zihe said calmly, "You saw it yourself, can there be a mistake?"
Receiving confirmation, Liu Qianxun immediately became smug. She had deliberately made the pill sound potent, intending to provoke Bai Zihe. She never expected him to actually fall for it and swallow it directly! Now, he was finished!
Liu Qianxun said with self-satisfaction, "Bai Zihe, you are too arrogant!" "Arrogance will cost you dearly."
Then, Liu Qianxun boastfully explained the origin of the pill, "This medicine is called the 'Five-Step Heartbreak Pill.' Once swallowed, it takes only three seconds, or five steps, to make one's insides shatter into a pool of blood!" "Even ancient martial arts practitioners would be in a terrible state after being poisoned!" "That appearance..." "Tsk tsk tsk, it was truly a sight for sore eyes!"
Saying this, she smugly leaned in front of Bai Zihe, "Bai Zihe, you don't want to die, do you? Quickly beg for my mercy!" "I have the antidote!" "As long as you beg me properly, my heart might soften..."
Liu Qianxun waved a small bottle in front of Bai Zihe. She looked incredibly pleased with herself. Suddenly, she remembered her own backside, which had been split into two pieces, and an idea sparked. She already knew how she would toy with Bai Zihe next!
But who would have thought that Bai Zihe would calmly say, "As you said." "This poison, it only takes three seconds to shatter the insides. Hasn't at least thirty seconds passed?"
Liu Qianxun was instantly stunned. Right. At least thirty seconds had passed, why was he still fine? Bai Zihe continued, "How about I take another five steps?" With that, without waiting for Liu Qianxun's reply, he walked a few circles around her, covering well over fifty steps, yet he was still as good as new.
Then Bai Zihe looked at Liu Qianxun with a mocking expression, "You call this a challenge?" "How... how could this happen?" Liu Qianxun was dumbfounded. Had she grabbed the wrong medicine? But she looked at the bottle where the poison was kept; it was empty! Could it be that Bai Zihe hadn't swallowed it? Impossible! She had seen him swallow it with her own eyes! That left only one possibility! The Five-Step Heartbreak Pill had no effect on Bai Zihe.
But this... this didn't make sense... Suddenly, a lightning bolt of thought struck Liu Qianxun. She remembered something her master had once said. While the Five-Step Heartbreak Pill was potent, it was useless against ancient martial arts masters who had reached the pinnacle of their cultivation. Those existences had achieved a state of unity between heaven and man, almost reaching the point of being able to abstain from food, and their internal organs were constantly protected by their inner energy! Even if they accidentally ingested poison, they could easily expel it with their inner energy!
Could Bai Zihe be such a master? Thinking of this, Liu Qianxun's heart raced, her face turned ashen, and she immediately bowed and curtsied to Bai Zihe, "Great Demon, I was wrong!" "I had no intention of offending you, I beg you to spare my life!" "I will never dare to joke with you again, please forgive me this time!"
Bai Zihe's gaze was full of amusement, "What? Convinced?" Liu Qianxun lowered her head, not daring to speak for a moment. She was filled with lingering fear! She had offended Bai Zihe not once, but repeatedly... This was dancing on the path to hell!
Bai Zihe's gaze was distant, with a hint of emotion, "The Valley Master of Heartbreak Valley is not heartless, and the disciples of the Poison Sect are not cruel!" "Tell me, what is your relationship with the King of Poison Sect?"
King of Poison Sect! A flash of surprise crossed Liu Qianxun's beautiful eyes, but she honestly replied, "My master is the youngest disciple of the King of Poison Sect, and I am the grand-disciple of the Patriarch!" "As expected," Bai Zihe murmured, "She is a direct disciple of the King of Poison Sect!" When he saw the personal information provided by the Xuan Tian Pavilion for Liu Qianxun, Bai Zihe had already begun to speculate. And now, it was undoubtedly confirmed.
