Chapter 247 - Assassination (2/2)

“Ah Chuan.” Liu Qiyue looked at him. She was touched, but she also exhorted him, “In the future, tell me first if you need anything. I’ll accumulate credit myself.”

Meng Chuan smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry. I understand.”

At this moment, a maid came in with a meal tray.

“I ordered someone to cook porridge,” said Liu Qiyue. “Have some porridge first.”

With that said, she placed one of the two bowls of porridge in front of Meng Chuan. She placed one bowl in front of herself before smiling at Meng Chuan.

She watched her husband eat first.

How fragrant! Meng Chuan held the bowl and drank half of the porridge in one gulp. He felt the fragrance of porridge fill his mouth. The lit candle beside him also emanated an odorless gas. As he breathed it in, the gas entered his body, mixing with the porridge… Liu Qiyue couldn’t help but smile as she watched Meng Chuan enjoy the meal. She picked up her spoon and began eating. “Don’t eat it.” Meng Chuan waved his hand. With a crash, the bowl of porridge in front of Liu Qiyue flew off the table and shattered on the ground.

Liu Qiyue was shocked.

Meng Chuan’s face had blackened. Blood-colored patterns surfaced on his body as though countless worms were wriggling.

“Ah Chuan!” Liu Qiyue was alarmed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Meng Chuan immediately struck himself seven times as his Quintessential Essence surged violently.

Pfft

Meng Chuan opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood. Organ fragments could be seen mixed in the black blood. A large mouthful of black blood landed on the ground, and a huge crater immediately appeared on the ground.

Chi! Chi! Chi

A black, sanguine mist rose from Meng Chuan’s body. The poisonous mist surged out from every pore on Meng Chuan’s body. Eighty percent of his blood instantly evaporated. Ordinary Godfiends wouldn’t have survived such serious injuries.

Pfft. Pfft.

Meng Chuan spat out two more mouthfuls of blood. His body became thinner as he closed his eyes.

His thin body and pale face began to recover at speeds visible to the naked eye. His body turned muscular again, and his face gradually turned rosy. What a powerful poison. Meng Chuan opened his eyes and looked at the corroded crater on the ground. He then looked at the bowl of porridge on the ground.

“Ah Chuan, are you alright?” Liu Qiyue was a little flustered.

“It’s nothing.” Meng Chuan said, “Most Marquis Godfiends won’t be able to escape death after consuming this poison. It’s so potent that it’s unbelievably terrifying. Investigate what poison it is. The porridge and the candle on the ground have to be preserved properly. Let Archean Mountain’s poison experts investigate its origins.”

“Alright.” Liu Qiyue nodded. “Are you really alright now?”

“Don’t worry. I cultivate a physical body mystic technique. Even if the poison was five times more potent, it wouldn’t kill me,” said Meng Chuan. He immediately used his Quintessential Essence to cut and isolate all his poison body parts the instant the poison seeped into his body. He even sliced off parts of his organs. He lost over half his blood. After expelling all of the poison from his body, his powerful vitality restored his body rapidly. Meng Chuan looked at Liu Qiyue. “If you had drunk this bowl of porridge, you’d be in big trouble.”

Just the thought of it made Meng Chuan shudder. If his wife had consumed it, would her Phoenix Divine Body be able to withstand it? It was said that the Phoenix Divine Body was very powerful when it underwent Nirvana. It could be said to be an immortal’s body, but Meng Chuan wasn’t confident.

“Our food is repeatedly inspected from the moment it’s purchased. Even if it is poisoned during the cooking process, birds and beasts will sample it first. They actually managed to poison our food,” Liu Qiyue said solemnly. “I’ll get people from Earth Net to investigate carefully.”

Meng Chuan nodded. “Such lethal poison is definitely extraordinary. Those who are willing to pay such a huge price are most likely demons. Carefully investigate how the demons infiltrated. Also, I feel that the manor isn’t safe. It isn’t suitable for You’er and An’er to stay here.”

“You’er and An’er?” Liu Qiyue’s heart stirred.
