Chapter 142 (2/2)

In the end, at this moment, she could only reluctantly admit her mistakes. “Little lady, I was wrong. But it’s not like this. We really didn’t mean to harm you two. If we really did want to kill the two of you, we would have done so earlier when you were cooking for us….”

“At that time, you did not make a move because you did not have a clear idea of our situation. You saw the dead Flying Dragon Centipede in our hand but could not ascertain how deep our skills were. You wanted your attack to be successful, so you waited until we relaxed our guards to make a move. Besides, at that time, you were all hungry and also eyeing our cooking skills…” Ning Xuemo used her fingers to enumerate all the reasons Zhong Rushuang did not attack them before.

Zhong Rushuang’s complexion became paler. She did not think that her schemes would be seen through by a little girl. What was more surprising was how thoroughly it was seen through.

“Tsk! Tsk! Oppressing and making things difficult for other people… I saw all of your mouths are not weak neither are your hands lacking! Eating and drinking from other people, then robbing them and killing them. Is that how you people from Bright Reverence interact with others? How shameless!”

Zhong Rushuang was speechless. Her crafty plots and machinations were all exposed by that little girl. Even if she was brazen, at this moment, there was not much left of the arrogance on her face.

“Little girl, where are you going? What did you put in our food earlier? You were also plotting against us earlier on!” Zhong Rushuang was not stupid. Only after pondering a bit, did she clearly realize the hole in Ning Xuemo’s logic and couldn’t help but retort.

Then again, she obviously knew from testing the food that there was no poison…

“Oh? You’re not stupid.” Ning Xuemo giggled. “You were only half correct. I did add some kind of poison inside the food, but this type of poison could not be considered poisonous when ingested. It could be use as seasoning…”

“If you had just left, instead of scheming against us, this small matter would not have happened. However, since you ate our food and came back to kill us… Inside those thorns and brambles, the juice and sap contain a type of poison which is not really lethal by itself. Yet, when it’s mixed together with the poison you ate and absorbed inside your body, that’s another matter altogether!”
