Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 1221 - 118_1

Xiao’er watched Xi’er’s series of actions and sighed in her heart: a true master really does stand out!

This is professionalism at its best!

The three of them had only been bluffing, just showboating!

The elderly gentleman with the demeanor of a wandering sage watched Xi’er then glanced at Xiao’er and the other two. He touched his long beard thoughtfully.

After two people admitted defeat and left, everyone quickly collected their terrified souls and focused on dealing with the poison in front of them.

Poison is no joke, one moment of carelessness brings destruction beyond repair; it’s a matter of life and death!

After Xiao’er had sat down, she had written the antidote formula and then handed it to the Poison Maiden to fetch the medicinal herbs and prepare the antidote.

After a while, the Poison Maiden, following Xiao’er’s formula, finished decocting the antidote.

Xiao’er took the antidote that had been prepared by the Poison Maiden. She took a sniff and confirmed it was produced using the formula she had written. There was no problem with the antidote.

Although the Li Clan has hosted so many poison duel tournaments, it’s impossible for someone to do such a vile thing. If it were known that someone was poisoning antidotes given to the contestants, who would dare to participate in such a poison duel?!

Nonetheless, Xiao’er thought it’s better to remain cautious. She had to confirm for herself that there was no problem with the antidote.

After confirming that there was no problem, Xiao’er glanced at the person clothed in blue sitting opposite her, and gave a slight smile: "Brother, do you want to give the poison a try?"

The poison concocted by the man in blue was extremely aggressive. Consuming just a little would result in convulsions and the production of froth at the mouth before dying. If she were to test the poison before preparing the antidote, even if she could make it in time, Xiao’er would not want to lose face in public. It was of course better to try the poison after consuming the antidote!

After saying this, Xiao’er deliberately glanced in the direction of Shangguan Xuanyi and Shangguan Xuanyao: "We are from the same school, you know!"

"....."

That comment sounded a lot like a threat!

Everyone sympathetically gave the blue-clad man a glance: Brother, you should grieve a bit!

The man in blue looked at Xiao’er then looked down at the bottle before him. His back was covered in cold sweat.

Inside, he was in a constant struggle: To test or not to test?

If he didn’t test, he would not be able to accomplish the task assigned by his master!

That would also be a road to death!

And moreover, Xiao’er might not be able to decipher his poison. Even if she recognised one of the poisonous elements, so what!

It took him a lot of effort to develop this poison. There was no way she could see through it at a glance!

She must be bluffing, trying to scare him into conceding!

Maybe she didn’t even manage to decipher his poison!

The man in blue gritted his teeth: "I’ll test it!"

If she refused to admit defeat, all the better. This was a person sent by Nangong Country!

Their sworn enemy!

Being able to get rid of them so easily and clearly was better than great!

Xiao’er flashed an easy and relaxed smile, picked up the bowl of antidote, gave it a few blows to cool it down, then fearlessly tipped her head back and drank it down.

The action was as cool as it was gutsy!

After drinking the antidote, Xiao’er picked up the bottle of poison that the blue-clad man had made, removed the lid, and without hesitation, let a drop of poison fall into her mouth.

Her action was as if she wasn’t consuming poison! freewёbnoνel.com

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at Xiao’er’s actions without blinking, his fists clenched unconsciously.

The others also couldn’t help but fix their gazes on her.

The man in blue also stared at Xiao’er without blinking.

After Xiao’er took the poison, she smacked her lips: "Not bad, colorless and tasteless! It’s potent!"

After saying this, Xiao’er gave the man in blue a thumbs up and a praising gesture!

This was simply infuriating!

Was she really praising him?

Everyone once again looked sympathetically at the man in blue.

Shangguan Xuanyi unclenched his fist, leaned back in his chair again, and watched Xiao’er with a cold expression, looking towards the man in blue opposite her.

The man in blue couldn’t help standing up, sizing up Xiao’er carefully.

Xiao’er gave him a mischievous wink, then broke into a toothy grin.

She was fine! There was absolutely nothing wrong! And she was even able to laugh!

So...

Had she really deciphered his poison with such ease, just by looking and smelling?

Impossible!

Even if she recognised one of the key poisons by its smell or sight, what about the others!

Some of them don’t have any color or smell, and only after consumption do their effects show!

But the reality was in front of him, what he thought was impossible had become possible!

How on earth did she know?!

Her skill in poisoning seemed to be streets ahead of his own!

Seeing the man in blue just staring at her and not testing his poison, Xiao’er spoke: "Brother, I have already tasted it. Aren’t you going to try? This is not in accordance with the rules oh!"

Both people must test the poison, otherwise it’s not fair.

You can admit defeat before testing the poison, but you can’t back out after agreeing to test it. If that is the case, this person will be permanently disqualified from participating in the poison duel competition!

The blue-clad man finally believed that Xiao’er was not poisoned! She had really neutralized his poison!

He looked down at the bottle of poison on the table, feeling as if his hand weighed 1,000 pounds. He couldn’t lift it.

Seeing that he didn’t dare to test it after a while, everyone couldn’t help but look down on him: "Brother, quickly try it, you were the one who said you wanted to test the poison earlier! Otherwise, you can admit defeat directly so that others won’t have to risk testing the poison!"

"That’s right, if you are scared, say it earlier! Don’t be a nasty person!"

"Not a nasty person, but spineless! A person who agrees then backs out is simply spineless! Such a person is not qualified to be a poison master. If you don’t dare to test the poison, why are you participating in the poison contest? Just go where it’s comfortable for you!"

....

Seeing everyone’s condemnation, the man in black next to him couldn’t help but tug at his companion who was lost in his own world: "Test the poison!"

The man in blue came to his senses, looked at the man in black, test the poison? He said it so easily, why does he have to test while he himself hasn’t. Hence, the man in blue sat down!

"I haven’t figured it out yet, I’ll test it later!"

Upon hearing this, no one said anything because many of them had not yet figured out what kind of poison their opponents were using.

They all lowered their heads again to research the poison they needed to research.

At this time, the Poison Maiden also finished decocting Xi’er’s antidote.

Xi’er took it over: "It’s too hot, I’ll drink it after it cools down a bit!"

Xi’er lifted her head and looked at the man in black across from her: "Brother, I’m giving you half a moment to consider, do you want to test the poison?"

The man in black replied without hesitation: "Of course!"
