Chapter 7 (2/2)

“Thanks a lot. Please bring it in!” said Yun Shu.

The man hurriedly went inside Yun Shu’s shelter and put the bucket on the stone table. Then he took out all the dishes one by one.

“Please!” the man said politely.

Yun Shu was starving, so he sat down directly, without saying anything more. However, when he picked up his chopsticks, he felt something amiss: the man was not leaving. Instead, the big smile was still plastered on his face as he stood by on the side.

Something was wrong!

Seeing this, Yun Shu rolled his eyes, slightly adjusted the way he sat, and turned his back to the man. Next, he used his golden pupils.

He saw that the dishes actually had black smoke coming out and lingering around the plates.

Yun Shu was pissed; someone tried to poison him!

Yun Shu didn’t take action immediately. Instead, he picked up the bowl of congee and said to the man politely, “I guess you haven’t eaten as well. It must be hard serving here in the valley. Come on, have some congee.”

The look on that man’s face suddenly changed, but a second later, the forced smile had come back again. “Thank you, Senior Brother Yun. However, I’ve had my meal already. Besides, this is your food. No worries, just eat it.”

Yun Shu shook his head. “I’ll feel guilty if you don’t join me. Get some congee. Now!”

Along with his words, he threw the bowl of congee at the man’s face. The guy hurriedly moved aside to avoid the blow. The bowl of congee drew a curve in the air and hit the wall on the far side of the stone shelter. Instantly, the moss on the wall turned black as if it were burnt.

Yun Shu frowned after seeing that. The poison was for sure extremely potent, but it was so easy to be found out! He was obviously severely underestimated.

The man also realized the sudden turn of events: Yun Shu had discovered the poison!

Everyone called Yun Shu a loser, but in reality, he appeared to be much smarter than that. He had tried to kill Yun Shu using the poison to keep everything under wraps. However, the plan was obviously not going to work now.

Still, it was okay. After all, it was so easy for him to kill Yun Shu.

The big smile instantly disappeared from his face and was replaced with a vicious look.

“You bastard Yun, you could’ve died without causing a commotion! But no! If so, don’t blame me for not showing any mercy!” the man said and jumped at Yun Shu.
