Chapter 8 — Tier II Elemental Wind Pill (1/2)

At the beginning, victims of this poison would retain the same physique as any other healthy individual, but when consumed perennially, the poison would force the victim’s constitution to gradually collapse, reducing them to a weak and morbid state; no different from an invalid.

Since the start of Yun Wu’s acquired memories, she was known to have a feeble physique, which meant she had been poisoned at birth.

To be so cruel; who could have done it?

Anyhow, regardless of who, they must belong to Yun Manor; it would be impossible for an outsider to make the former Yun Wu unwittingly ingest over a decade’s worth of poison. The culprit had better pray they don’t get discovered by her because if they did, she would definitely let them taste how being corroded by poison felt.

…..

Yun Qing Er’s current mood was especially foul, the reason being: that afternoon, some of His Highness the Crown Prince’s servants had arrived to arrange for a lake outing with Yun Lingshui and Yun Xing Er. On the other hand, Yun Qing Er had received a cold reception. Under those circumstances, how could she be feeling good?

Normally, she would head to the back mountain and cool down by beating up the sickly Yun Wu. Unfortunately, that good-for-nothing had died.

And yet!

When Yun Qing Er saw the figure lazing atop a boulder, her expression changed, her steps halted, and her anger also vanished.

Her eyesight wasn’t failing, was it?

She forcibly blinked and reopened her eyes, but nothing changed.

Yun Qing Er pulled a maidservant to her side and pointed at Yun Wu. “What do you see?”

“It’s the Ninth, Ninth Miss!” The maidservant’s voice was trembling while the other two maidservants were also visibly shocked.

The Ninth Miss’s demise and her fate afterward was something everyone in the manor knew about.

“Fifth Sister, it’s only been a few days since we last saw each other, do you not recognize me anymore?” Yun Wu’s soft voice drifted like a zephyr.

Yun Qing Er’s eyes flashed with panic, quickly followed by astonishment and disbelief. “You, you’re actually not dead? How could that be?”

“If I did die, you wouldn’t have anyone to bully anymore. You wouldn’t be able to thrash at me and defuse anger, so wouldn’t you be disappointed?” Yun Wu said as she slowly rose from the boulder and flexed her shoulders. Then, she smiled and lifted her eyes to lazily look at Yun Qing Er.

Yun Qing Er met Yun Wu’s stare and suddenly couldn’t help but shiver.She was confused.

Yun Wu still looked like how she did before; sickly without a trace of battle spirit. There was no doubt about it. Despite that, the current Yun Wu made Yun Qing Er feel a vague sense of danger. However, rage started brewing in Yun Qing Er’s heart.
