Chapter 402 - A Sad Story (2/2)
“Such potent poison.” Ling Chuxi used her Battle Qi to strengthen the effects of the medicinal pill on her body before letting out a long breath. Even though she had already been on guard and used her Battle Qi to block off her meridians, she had still underestimated the potency of this poison.
It was exactly as she had guessed. The poison was not fatal, but it caused one’s body to go completely limp, hence stripping one of the ability to defend oneself. If she had not prepared the medicinal pills as an antidote, even with her cultivation in the realm of Great Fulfilment, the effects of the poison would be difficult to deal with.
Meanwhile, the first prince was sitting atop his horse in high spirits with a proud smile on his face.
“Your Highness. Do you want me to go back to have another look?” asked the subordinate next to him a little worriedly.
“There’s no need. I personally saw them all drink the wine. There’s nothing to worry about. What’s more, I’ve left them a little something extra,” replied the first prince a.s.suredly.
“But those three have cultivation levels in the realm of Great Fulfilment after all,” said the subordinate, voicing his concerns once more.
“Do you really think that one would be utterly invincible just because they have cultivation levels in the realm of Great Fulfilment? Once a herb like the Heart Eroding Qi Transforming Gra.s.s enters someone’s mouth, it will cause their whole body to be paralyzed and therefore at the mercy of others no matter how strong their cultivation is. Ling Chuxi. From now on, there will be no such person in Nan Xia Country anymore,” snarled the first prince before he laughed aloud madly and lifted the reins of his horse. “Let’s proceed onwards. It’s time to start carrying out my big plan.”
“Yes, Your Highness,” chimed his group of subordinates as they waved their whips and struck their horses into a gallop to follow after the first prince as they rushed towards the capital at lightning speed.
In the depths of the wilderness, only the manic and conceited laughter of the first prince echoed in the winds.
Such a pity it was. You see, in life, eight or nine times out of ten, things never work out according to one’s wishes. Such was life. But after the first prince met Ling Chuxi, ten times out of ten, things never worked out according to his wishes! He had always thought that the fifth princess becoming Ling Chuxi’s apprentice was nothing more than child’s play. But he did not ever dream that Ling Chuxi would possess such fine medical and toxicology skills.
Indeed, Ling Chuxi did possess very fine skills. Therefore, the first prince’s tale was fated to be a sad story.
