Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 1222 - 1219_1

"Really trying? My poison skills are not particularly powerful, but oh! Compared to them both, my poison skills are far more powerful!" Xi’er hinted towards Shangguan Xuanyi and Shangguan Xuanyao with her eyes.

"Of course!" The man in black was unmoved, obviously bluffing.

He even felt that she was the least skilled in poison amongst the four!

Appearing regretful, Xi’er gave him a look, "I warned you, kind sir, take a good look at today’s sun! I’m worried you won’t be able to see tomorrow’s sunrise!"

The man in black ignored Xi’er and focused on analyzing the poison in the bottle.

A brat who has not fully grown a beard yet dared to show off in front of him. If he couldn’t see that she was intentionally trying to scare him into giving up, his decades of roaming the martial arts world would have been wasted!

Nevermind the man in black; Xi’er’s intention to scare was so obvious that everyone thought she was merely bluffing. Maybe because she was the youngest amongst the four, people believed her to be the worst in poison!

Upon observing this, Xi’er sighed, "I was telling the truth, why does nobody believe me! I’m someone who never lies!"

Shangguan Xuanyao hurried to say, "I believe you. If he doesn’t believe you, that’s his loss!"

"That’s why you’re the insightful one!" Xi’er gave Shangguan Xuanyao a beaming smile, then said to the man in black, "I’m really going to try the poison! It’s not too late for you to regret!"

"Don’t worry, I won’t," he replied, looking at Xi’er insolently.

"I’m really going to try the poison!" Xi’er intentionally repeated herself.

"Try it then! Those who don’t dare to try should give up!" The man in black finally lost his patience.

"The words ’give up’ will never appear in my life! Don’t regret it!" After saying these words, Xi’er held up the bottle of poison with a ’resigned to one’s fate’ expression, contrasted dramatically with her words.

Everyone shifted their belief towards thinking that she was just trying to scare them!

Xi’er only drank a drop of poison, and her lips immediately turned black.

Shangguan Xuanyao got up nervously.

Xi’er gave him a calming smile. Combined with her black lips, the smile looked strikingly odd!

Keeping her composure, Xi’er picked up the bowl of antidote and drank it all.

Afterward, Xi’er stuck out her tongue, "Please, I hate bitterness the most. If you manage to survive, next time please don’t make this kind of poison, it takes coptis rhizome to neutralize it!"

The man in black gave her a disdainful look, the poison he formulated didn’t need a coptis rhizome to be neutralized!

But he couldn’t resist but to observe Xi’er’s reaction.

His formula causes one’s skin to turn black and then experience a sensation akin to ants biting off their flesh piece by piece, starting with a slight numbness that gradually turns into an intense agony and even blackens one’s whites of the eyes, at that point, even Gods couldn’t save you!

As expected, Xi’er’s skin was gradually turning black. Assured, the man in black concentrated on investigating the poison formula Xi’er made.

The poison Xi’er made wasn’t odorless, it had a unique smell!

As the man in black kept pondering over the base source of this smell, he momentarily forgot about...

Wait for a moment, coptis rhizome? He remembered!

Feeling proud of himself, the man in black glanced at Xi’er only to be surprised. The areas of Xi’er’s face that had darkened earlier had regained their original color!

That is to say, she had successfully neutralized the poison!

Why didn’t he know that coptis rhizome could neutralize the poison he formulated?

Seeing him look over at her, Xi’er couldn’t help but wave at him, saying cheekily, "Sir, my poison has been neutralized! Would you like to give it a try yourself?"

The man in black was disgusted by Xi’er’s behavior and actions!

He was clearly a man, yet why did he always make this womanly movement! Could this be a eunuch!

Upon this thought, he looked at Xi’er’s lower body, gave a disdainful look, quickly wrote down the antidote formula, and handed it to the poison girl for remediation.

Being this smart, Xi’er immediately understood what his gaze meant! She stiffly kept the smile on her face, then sat down awkwardly!

Oh, how one small mistake could lead to a big embarrassment! She had forgotten she was cross-dressing!

"Pfft!" Xiao’er couldn’t help but laugh at the scene.

Upon hearing this, Xi’er turned around and glared at Xiao’er, feeling wronged!

She had been working so hard to act cute, all for the sake of getting the elder’s position! Yet this person dared to laugh at her!

Really having no sympathy at all!

"Haha..." Xiao’er couldn’t help but laugh out loud but quickly covered her mouth. Her chuckles were silent, but the shaking of her shoulders betrayed her mirth.

Upon witnessing this, Xi’er suddenly remembered the two trembling snakes from the morning, "Brother Riyao, don’t you think your laughter reminds me of the two snakes you scared this morning? Here I thought their trembling was exactly like yours!"

Once Xiao’er heard this, she instantly remembered the two terrified trembling snakes, and she could no longer laugh.

Why mention something that spoils the mood!

Xie’er regained her triumphant smile.

At that moment, everyone had decrypted their opponent’s poison. Everyone wrote out the formulas and handed them to the poison girl to make the antidote.

Fortunately, each person had their own poison girl, so no one needed to worry about getting it wrong.

Harassed by her sister, Xiao’er was in a bad mood. When gloomy what should you do? Harass others, of course. Xiao’er looked towards the man in blue sitting opposite her and asked with a mocking smile, "Sir, haven’t you figured it out yet? Everyone has already handed in their antidote formulas."

Of course, the man in blue knew that everyone had already turned in the antidote formulas, even his companion already handed in his antidote formula with confidence.

But he still hadn’t figured out anything!

The man in blue was so nervous that he was drenched in sweat. His back shirt could simply be squeezed dry!

He glared at Xiao’er, his eyes dark with frustration, he replied through gritted teeth, "The time isn’t up, what’s your hurry!"

"I’m not in a hurry, I’m just worried for you! Good intentions are wasted! I was thinking of giving you a hint, but since you don’t appreciate it, never mind!" said Xiao’er as she shrugged.

Between Xiao’er’s interruptions, the man in blue became even more anxious and angry. He couldn’t help it!

Xiao’er sat opposite him, observing him with a look of amusement, exerting an invisible pressure on him.

After thirty minutes, everyone’s antidotes were successively ready.
