Chapter 402: A Sad Story

Seeing Ling Chuxi and the rest drink the wine, an imperceptible sneer swept across the first prince’s lips. But it did not escape Ling Chuxi’s sharp eyes.

“My lords, all of you have worked hard for this trip to Ding Lin Country. I propose another toast to each of you!” announced the first prince as his subordinates stepped forward and poured more wine for the others.

The envoy and his fleet were so full of gratitude, they simply drank the wine without thinking any further. The atmosphere of the banquet was merry because the first prince kept persuading everyone to drink more throughout.

After the banquet ended, the first prince smiled faintly at Ling Chuxi and said, “Miss Ling, I’ll travel ahead to Wu Mu City first to help take care of things for each of you. Since you have all had such a hard journey, take your time and hurry over slowly.” The smile on the first prince’s face remained as pleasantly warm as a spring breeze.

“Thank you. We have troubled Your Highness,” responded Ling Chuxi calmly although she was sneering in her heart. ‘Faker. You can continue to fake it till you are struck down by lightning. You surely will be!’

The first prince and his men then departed quickly. The thundering of horse hooves moved further away gradually. In the meantime, the envoy’s fleet reorganized their troops. They rested shortly and made preparations before resuming their journey in the afternoon. However, shortly after they departed, problems arose.

“Aiya!” exclaimed one of the guards as he fell off his horse.

Another guard toppled off his horse immediately after.

“What is going on?” exclaimed the envoy as he quickly ordered for the fleet to stop. He began to disembark his carriage to check on the matter, but just as he took a step out, he crumpled to the ground as well.

“What is happening?” cried Li Shaoqiu as his body became limp and he slid down to the ground with widened eyes containing an inexplicable shock.

“There was poison in the wine,” said Ling Chuxi with a calm expression. She then spat out a stream of wine from her mouth. Earlier on when she had drunk the wine, she had immediately used her Battle Qi to block off all her meridians.

After she spat out all of the poisonous wine, Ling Chuxi quickly took out a few medicinal pills which would work as an antidote. She took one herself and threw the other two pills in her hand to Ling Yichen and Baili Han respectively. The both of them had been on guard as well. They quickly swallowed the medicinal pills after spitting out the poisonous wine themselves.

“Such potent poison.” Ling Chuxi used her Battle Qi to strengthen the effects of the medicinal pill on her body before letting out a long breath. Even though she had already been on guard and used her Battle Qi to block off her meridians, she had still underestimated the potency of this poison.

It was exactly as she had guessed. The poison was not fatal, but it caused one’s body to go completely limp, hence stripping one of the ability to defend oneself. If she had not prepared the medicinal pills as an antidote, even with her cultivation in the realm of Great Fulfilment, the effects of the poison would be difficult to deal with.

Meanwhile, the first prince was sitting atop his horse in high spirits with a proud smile on his face.

“Your Highness. Do you want me to go back to have another look?” asked the subordinate next to him a little worriedly.

“There’s no need. I personally saw them all drink the wine. There’s nothing to worry about. What’s more, I’ve left them a little something extra,” replied the first prince assuredly.

“But those three have cultivation levels in the realm of Great Fulfilment after all,” said the subordinate, voicing his concerns once more.

“Do you really think that one would be utterly invincible just because they have cultivation levels in the realm of Great Fulfilment? Once a herb like the Heart Eroding Qi Transforming Grass enters someone’s mouth, it will cause their whole body to be paralyzed and therefore at the mercy of others no matter how strong their cultivation is. Ling Chuxi. From now on, there will be no such person in Nan Xia Country anymore,” snarled the first prince before he laughed aloud madly and lifted the reins of his horse. “Let’s proceed onwards. It’s time to start carrying out my big plan.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” chimed his group of subordinates as they waved their whips and struck their horses into a gallop to follow after the first prince as they rushed towards the capital at lightning speed.

In the depths of the wilderness, only the manic and conceited laughter of the first prince echoed in the winds.

Such a pity it was. You see, in life, eight or nine times out of ten, things never work out according to one’s wishes. Such was life. But after the first prince met Ling Chuxi, ten times out of ten, things never worked out according to his wishes! He had always thought that the fifth princess becoming Ling Chuxi’s apprentice was nothing more than child’s play. But he did not ever dream that Ling Chuxi would possess such fine medical and toxicology skills.

Indeed, Ling Chuxi did possess very fine skills. Therefore, the first prince’s tale was fated to be a sad story.
