197 The Girl Was Just Bluffing (2/2)

”This is the first time I’ve heard about such a poison. What a unique name,” said one of the young men.

”Unique? Don’t you think it’s iconic?” Di Fuyi raised his brows.

”Oh, it’s indeed iconic,” the young man agreed promptly.

Di Fuyi chuckled and said, ”That's the name I've just come up with, of course. It's pretty apt.”

The name turned out to be completely made up by Celestial Master Zuo! The young men were lost for words again.

However, driven by curiosity, they asked, ”Master, do you think the ‘poison’ was as harmful as she had described it? The girl was just bluffing, wasn’t she?”

”About this, you can only find out once you’ve tried,” said Di Fuyi.

Confused.

The young men did not feel too certain about it. Boldly, they had decided to ask, ”Master, what do you mean?”

”I'm actually curious about this ‘poison' too, that's why I did a little trick when I extracted it out of my body. There's no need for singing when I turn the poison into gas. You'll be poisoned once you inhale it. How do the four of you feel right now?”

Shocked.

They were standing, but their legs were suddenly weak. There was an unsettling flow in their stomach. It was negligibly weak at first, but it grew so strong within seconds, as though there was a monster awakening in their body, with countless bugs digging their ways inside them. It was tingling and painful, there was even a numbing sensation at the back of their spine – the effect was immensely overwhelming!

The faces of the four young men had turned green.

Di Fuyi rose and said, ”Hmm, you’re now feeling what I felt just then, but what I had was four times stronger. You all are physically weak, so I can’t bear to see only one of you suffer alone, thus splitting the after-effects into four so that all of you can join each other to share the pain.”
