Chapter 147 – Of Course, I Forgive Her (2/2)
What’s the point of locking the coins in a wooden box? Couldn’t she just steal the box away?
So Elena stole that wooden box, and brought along a hammer and slipped onto the streets and just broke the box with the hammer, taking the bag of gold coins out.
「Stinking pilfering cat, watch me punish you! Stinking pilfering cat, watch me punish you! 」
Although Elena didn’t understand why a broken wooden box could make sounds, she didn’t care and quickly took the money to her arranged location, Winterless City underground black market.
She had limited time, there wasn’t enough magic power left, so she had to quickly do her business and buy a fatal poison, Golden Lotus Illness Dispeller!
This poison was invented thousands of years ago to kill her husband, specially used to poison her useless husband.
It was said that any man who ate it would see horrifying hallucinations within minutes, he would first feel himself wearing a heavy green hat, getting heavier by the minute until he couldn’t breathe, then he would see an unfamiliar man teaching his wife, and would chuckle while saying, “Your wife is awesome!”
Lastly, the man would be tormented until they lose their will to live and breathe their last breath.
According to the description from the black market merchant, the person who took the medicine would die from heartbreak, an extremely painful way of dying, and in their last minute they would continuously mutter depressing sorrowful words like they were possessed.
“Can you get off my wife?”
“Keep it, I’ll steal stuff to support you.”
“Of course I choose to forgive her.”
After saying that, they’ll die on the spot.
That medicine was what Elena needed.
As long as she rushed home, she could sneak the medicine into his congee before he notices that his small wooden box was stolen, then she could successfully poison him!
The small problem was that the hallucination would be about one’s wife, but since Lin Xiao didn’t have one, who would it be about?
He’s single, so it wouldn’t work, right?
Under the guidance of the moonlight, Elena slipped into an abandoned house, full of apprehension and anticipation, she followed the stairs going to the basement finally meeting that merchant.
“Hehe, girl, you’re here.”
He was a bony middle-aged man, there were few strands of hair left on his bald head. He wore beige hemp clothes, with a crooked waist, he looked extremely wretched, his nickname was black hair.
Elena met him on the streets, after rejecting to sell her body, he met him right after.
He quickly saw through her and asked if she wanted to poison her husband, and especially recommended her this medicine for only 10 gold coins!
“I brought the money.”
The dim basement had a small window that only allowed a tiny amount of moonlight through, Elena couldn’t see his expression, but could hear his disgusting chuckles.
“You kept your word as expected, I trust that you’ll find a better man after your husband dies!”
“Where’s the stuff?”
“Hehe, did you actually believe that medicine exists?” His laughter was full of ridicule.
He’s been in Winterless City’s underground for this many years and has never heard of that kind of medicine. That day, he discovered Elena by coincidence and decided to make something to trick her, he never expected her to actually believe him!
It was his first time meeting such a gullible girl. As expected, females with big breasts have no brain, with how ridiculous her body was, there couldn’t be much left for her head.
“Y-you tricked me?” Elena noticed the danger and quickly turn to run.
He didn’t give chase, he just gently pressed a button on the wall.
A heavy rumbling sound, and the stairs heading upstairs completely folded up, a heavy stone slab where it once was, blocking the only way out! Not budging at all no matter how Elena pushed at it.
“Hehe, girl, since your husband won’t love you, then let me. I’ll treat you well!”
Elena then woke up to the reality that she fell into a trap.
She had been using her magic detection radar to check the surroundings earlier making sure there was no ambush, that’s why she walked downstairs fearlessly, she never expected him to use a mechanism to trap her.
Really, all human males are scum!
Elena clenched her teeth and prepared to resist, but then another loud sound came from behind.
