Chapter 257.1: Dog Bite Dog (1/2)

This time, Tang Doudou immediately understood what it meant. She put her chopsticks down and whispered, “Lil’ Gray, you’re saying that these dishes are poisoned?”

Lil’ Gray hastily nodded, then started to clutch his neck again. As he clutched at his neck, he even stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes back.

Tang Doudou hastily pulled his claws away from his neck. “That’s enough, I got it.”

Lil’ Gray blinked, then quickly shrank into Tang Doudou’s chest again.

Could it be that they’ve already been discovered?

Tang Doudou knitted her brows as she looked at the food in front of her. Her body was immune to a hundred poisons so normal poisons wouldn’t have any effect on her. It was just that she didn’t know how to distinguish between poisons. If she had that ability, she could have figured out the type of poison and based on that, deduce who was behind this.

If it was done by someone as vicious as Shen Moru, it would definitely be an abnormal and venomous poison.

However, that aside, there was no way she could risk eating these dishes.

She picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a bit of every dish to put in her bowl in order to make it seem as if she had already eaten. Then she found a flowerpot and buried the food from her bowl inside the soil.

Only then did she sit back down at the table. After about an hour, a knock came from the door again.

“Dear guest, have you finished eating?”

“Come in. You can clear the table!” Tang Doudou got up from the table and Lil’ Gray immediately moved onto her back.

The door opened. It was still the same waiter. He first greeted her with a smile. However, as he was greeting her, he glanced over towards the table. When he saw that she hadn’t eaten much, a shadow flashed through his eyes before he asked with a smile, “Dear guest, were the dishes lacking?”

“I haven’t really had an appetite lately.” Due to the fact that she was lowering the tone of her voice, in order to avoid making any unnatural sounds, Tang Doudou tried to speak as little as possible.

The shadows in the waiter’s eyes disappeared. He started collecting the leftover food on the table as he said, “If Lady had said so earlier, we wouldn’t have prepared such rich dishes. It would’ve been better to prepare more mild dishes!”

“Perhaps he forgot.” Tang Doudou’s eyes were fixed on that waiter’s face as she spoke.

As she expected, when she said this, an unnatural expression appeared on the waiter’s face. She immediately concluded that the person behind this probably wasn’t Shen Moru. It seemed to be this inn’s doing.

This inn was right in the middle of the street. Could it be that it dared to kill and rob guests in broad daylight?

However, when Tang Doudou recalled that this was where the Seven Great Saint Tribes were located, she didn’t found it as implausible. She had already silently remarked upon entering the city that since this Saint City was full of black-robed people, it’d probably be hard for anyone to catch criminals.

Opening a black shop and gaining a bit of money on the side from time to time probably worked well. After all, no one would know even if a few people died every once in a while.
