"You… mmmph…"
As soon as Qin Si opened his mouth, Bai Shengyi tore off a piece of cloth from her body and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Your breath is too foul, just shut up!" she clapped her hands, satisfied. "Don't ruin my mood for doing business."
The foul smell wafting from the cloth nauseated Qin Si, making him gag. If his eyes could kill, he would have wanted Bai Shengyi to be pierced by a thousand arrows and reduced to ashes!
Crazy woman!
How dare she!
Clearly, Bai Shengyi dared to do even more.
"Even if you can't, it's your luck that your Auntie knows how to fix it. You definitely will be able to!"
Damn it, whether he could or not, he had to. In this desolate wilderness, she didn't want to look for another man!
Bai Shengyi's gaze deepened, and she channeled her spiritual power into Qin Si's acupoints.
He actually lost consciousness…
Damn Bai Shengyi! She actually knocked him out!
Bai Shengyi was unaware that Qin Si was burning with rage and harboring deep hatred, listing her as a target for elimination.
She worked herself and it took two hours.
The sky was still early. Bai Shengyi put on her clothes, got up, and kicked the man on the ground. "Hey! Are you dead yet?"
There was no response.
"No way? So useless?" Bai Shengyi felt something was wrong. Just now, this man was lively and quite useful!
She squatted down to check Qin Si's pulse and immediately understood.
"He's poisoned. Tsk tsk, what a pity. Five kinds of poison. Considering how satisfied I was with your service just now, Auntie will help you get rid of one."
Bai Shengyi did as she said. After finishing everything, she waved her hand carelessly.
"Bye-bye, tool man. Auntie is going to the Dou Zhan Tai (Combat Arena) for revenge. I hope we don't meet again if fate allows."
Qin Si just woke up and saw Bai Shengyi's figure gradually disappearing into the dense forest.
The cloth in his mouth had been removed, but the foul smell and the feeling of humiliation still lingered in his mind.
Damn it!
"Bai Shengyi! You're dead!" His thin lips coldly uttered a few words, his face a terrifying shade of black.
As he moved, he was surprised to find that the pain in his body had significantly lessened, and his limbs, which had been numb from the poison, could now move!
"What's going on?"
The poisons in his body were complex and potent. Based on his past experience, their onset time was unpredictable, but once they acted up, he would lose the ability to move for at least twelve hours. Even the most skilled alchemists and pharmacists on the Shenqi Continent couldn't do anything about them.
How long had it been?
Qin Si staggered to his feet, intending to change his clothes. He saw a blood-stained cloth fall from his embrace. He grabbed it and his brow twitched. He finally understood the reason.
"Good hardware, but the technique needs improvement. As a token of my appreciation, I've helped you detoxify one of the poisons. No need to thank me!"
These words, written in bold, flowing strokes with blood on the cloth, made Qin Si both surprised and furious!
"Woman! What do you take this King for!"
After his fury subsided, he calmed down instead.
Why didn't this woman recognize him? Also, when did she learn to detoxify? With such a capricious and unrestrained personality, was this still the foolish, timid, and unsightly Bai Shengyi?
Qin Si couldn't help but recall the eyes he saw before losing consciousness. They were as cunning and lively as a fox's, nothing like her previous submissive demeanor.
He fell into thought.
"Master, are you alright?" His subordinate, who arrived late, felt the oppressive and cold aura emanating from his master and wisely kept a distance of at least three meters.
Qin Si cast a cold glance at him. "Trash!" If only you had come a moment earlier, he…
Thinking of this, Qin Si's face turned even darker with anger.
His imposing aura was suffocating, and the subordinate quickly said, "Master, the thing you wanted us to find, your subordinate has confirmed its location. Shall we go and take a look now?"
"No. You take people and guard it first." Qin Si's eyes were deep and cold. "This King will go to the Dou Zhan Tai."
He wanted to see for himself what was going on with that woman!
"Achoo! Who's badmouthing me?"
Bai Shengyi rubbed her nose, gazing at the vast crowd around the Dou Zhan Tai, and accurately located Sun Mingyu's position.
Standing beside Sun Mingyu was a woman in white, the adopted daughter of the Duke Rongguo's mansion, Bai Shengyi's second sister, Bai Murong.
Bai Murong spoke gently to Sun Mingyu, "Shengyi has been spoiled by Father and Mother. Now that Father and Mother are gone, Grandpa can't control her either. This morning, she ran off somewhere, perhaps looking for Prince Gong again."
"Impossible! Zhao gege and this County Princess came together!" Sun Mingyu said dismissively. That blind fool, she was probably dead by now.
Thinking of this, Sun Mingyu smiled proudly. "Bai Murong, when Zhao gege arrives later, this County Princess will take you and Zhao gege to watch some excitement."
"Okay…"
"What excitement? I want to watch too."
Bai Shengyi strode over.
"Who are you… Ah! Bai Shengyi!" Sun Mingyu looked at the bloody face of the woman before her, like a ghost crawling out of hell, and couldn't help but step back in fright.
How was she still alive?
"Shengyi, how did you end up like this?" A dark glint flashed in Bai Murong's eyes. She then stepped forward with feigned concern, looking extremely worried.
Bai Shengyi coldly brushed aside the hypocritical Bai Murong, walked up to Sun Mingyu, and said in a low voice, "Didn't expect this, Sun Mingyu? I'm still alive to come back."
Sun Mingyu had only been caught off guard for a moment. By now, she had calmed down and snorted, "You slut who was slept with by wild beasts, you dare to…"
"Slap!"
Bai Shengyi slapped her across the face. "Watch your mouth, Auntie!"
This slap caught Sun Mingyu completely off guard. Angrily, she swung a whip, "Bai… Ah!"
Bai Shengyi grabbed her whip and flung her onto the empty Dou Zhan Tai.
Immediately after, Bai Shengyi also stepped onto it and said coldly, "Sun Mingyu, I want to have a life-and-death battle with you. Do you dare?"
She, Bai Shengyi, never slept on her grudges. Today, Sun Mingyu would either die or be crippled!
The surrounding crowd watched this scene, stunned!
The Great Ning Dynasty revered strength. The Dou Zhan Tai was originally used for sparring, but it had now evolved into a place for duels and fighting matches. Anyone who stepped onto the Dou Zhan Tai was deemed to abide by its rules – life and death were not accounted for.
A nobody who lacked spiritual roots and could never even reach the threshold of Qi Condensation, a blind person who couldn't see, had actually issued a challenge to Sun Mingyu, who was already at the fourth level of Qi Condensation!
Overestimating herself!
But Bai Shengyi stood tall, a smile on her lips, both dashing and wild.
No one thought she was joking.
Only Sun Mingyu, infuriated by Bai Shengyi, said venomously, "What do I not dare! You blind fool, you were never worthy of Zhao gege. Die!"
With that, she preemptively lashed out with her whip!
The long black whip carried a red glow, with fire spiritual energy boiling and surging, making even the air feel scorching hot.
But Bai Shengyi simply waved her hand, and the tip of the whip strangely reversed, lashing towards Sun Mingyu herself!
In an instant, a deep, bone-chilling gash appeared on Sun Mingyu's fair face.
"Ah—Bai Shengyi! This County Princess will kill you!" Sun Mingyu let out a scream. She had never suffered such a loss and was going mad!
"Heh! What's the use of shouting? Auntie is standing right in front of you, and I don't see you killing me!"
Bai Shengyi reached out her hand into the air, and Sun Mingyu's whip, as if it had betrayed its owner, flew into her hand!
"Crack crack crack!"
Holding Sun Mingyu's weapon, Bai Shengyi casually whipped her several more times. In a short while, Sun Mingyu's face bore the same wounds as Bai Shengyi's.
However, this was just the beginning.
Bai Shengyi smiled coldly, her hand continuously landing the whip on Sun Mingyu's body. Her spiritual power surged through the whip, and in places unknown to the crowd, it felt like countless silver needles weaving through her body…
"Ah ah ah…" Sun Mingyu let out screams.
Below the Dou Zhan Tai.
Bai Murong gently tried to persuade Bai Shengyi a few times, but seeing that Bai Shengyi completely ignored her.
She anxiously exclaimed, "Quick! Quick, go call Prince Gong! Ah Yi listens to him the most. As long as Prince Gong speaks, Ah Yi will stop!"
