Successor Goddess of Death (Series 2)
64. Poison Spring
"Not your son? You intend to lie to me after the many sins you have committed?! " Task her in a high tone.
Xue Longque laughed bitterly before standing up and holding his hand.
"15 years ago, I married your mother and she was pregnant. I married her because she had helped me cure the dangerous poison lodged in my body. " Said Xue Longque.
"Over time, I began to fall in love with her and told her to abort you. But she insisted on refusing to do that, until the end of her I found a painting of a man. It darkens my eyes and destroys the painting. Your mother was furious, we fought to the end I didn't even have time to apologize to her. This is his last wish, this is the one thing that can take you to your real father. I'm sorry I couldn't treat you so well. " Xue Longque said regretfully.
"For so long, as I look at you, the image of the man from the painting with your mother's perfect face is clearly visible on your face. It freaked me out, almost crazy. I'm the one who's stuck in the past, if you want to kill me, don't hurt my wife and kids. " Xue Longque said in a pleading tone.
The dagger in his hand fell, his heart looking like it was slashed.
"Slowly, your daughter and wife will no longer be helped. After all, the one who owed you was Xue Fenghuang and I was Qin Xuanshi. Don't make it all complicated. " His speech while receiving the jade engraved Qilin.
'Qilin ? Like I've seen her, but where ? Is he a bad person ? Or someone good ? I don't understand, but I really feel like something familiar from this jade. I can't remember that. ' Thought him in frustration before choosing to make the jade into a necklace that will be used by him at all times.
When he used the necklace, there was the hand of someone who helped him.
"This way, this necklace won't break. There is no need to thank Miss Xue. " Said Yuanzheng Yuwen while giving a magic to his necklace.
His necklace became resistant to attacks, ranging from swords or other weapons. Thus, he would not be afraid of losing this jade seal.
"While that is the case, I still cannot let go of this goodwill. This is for you, Duke of Yuanzheng. " His speech, he took out a hairpick that depicted a dragon head and was golden in color.
At first glance it looks ordinary, but the truth is save a lot of strength and added that Yuanzheng Yuwen who uses it will look like simple but elegant.
"Miss Xue is too shy. " Said Yuanzheng Yuwen, before receiving his gift.
"Xue Longque, bring your daughter and wife home because they will suffer soon. I give them the poison of spring and soon spring will come, be prepared, the poison flower inside their body would bloom perfectly before the end of it would wither along with their consciousness. " Say her coldly.
"Is there no antidote ? I'm really begging you !" Xue Longque intended to prostrate before him but he had already first restrained the old man's body.
"I don't have the antidote, not because I can't make it. But, whoever I poison is the one I want them to die. So, why did I make an antidote for my enemy ? Don't waste your time, better go home and take care of your family. " His speech, he signaled to his bodyguards to take care of Xue Longque and his family.
After hearing the explanation given by Xue Longque, he felt a little regretful. But, what can I do ? He, Xue Ling, and Lin Yi, were already like fire and water. They can no longer be reconciled, even in any way.
As his words had said earlier, whoever was exposed to his Spring Poison then it was the person he wanted to kill slowly.
Xue Longque shouted several times in a tone full of pain. Until the end of his full-fledged disappearance, Yun Xing seemed to want to approach her.
But, he felt that there was already someone who first embraced his shoulders and held his body tightly.
Yun Xing canceled his steps and chose to walk out of the palace, as if nothing was wrong.
"First brother, I didn't expect that you still didn't want to admit this. I have waited for this time long enough until the end of it I got help from Miss Xue to do this. " Said Yuanzheng Yuwen behind his ears.
He was amused by Yuanzheng Yuwen's breathing that had repeatedly hit his ears.
"You enjoying it ?" Yuanzheng Yuwen whispered while biting his ears slightly.
"Miss Xue , I'm happy with the smell of your body. The fragrance of Xun Yi Cao flowers isn't it ?" Yuanzheng Yuwen asked with his alluring smile.
(Xun Yi Cao is a Lavender flower, because it tells the story of silat so the author chose to use his Mandarin only. )
"Mr Yuanzheng is indeed very knowledgeable when it comes to women, this makes me a little suspicious. Mr Yuanzheng is known as a straight and clean man, how could he possibly know anything related to women ?" Ask her by trapping.
Yuanzheng Yuwen did not look panicked and hurried to answer his question.
"Why did Miss Xue ask me this ? Did Miss Xue feel jealous because I was close to another woman ?" Yuanzheng Yuwen asked teasingly.
"Ha ha ha, Master Yuanzheng is indeed great at answering someone this really opened my eyes !" He laughed out loud.
"Pull them ! Let them be in jail !" Said Yuanzheng Yuwen giving orders to his subordinates.
He waved at the pale Zhu Xing Lian as he was pulled by the two guards of the Duke of Yuanzheng residence.
Of course, he placed the Spring Poison on the dagger he had planted right next to Zhu Xing Lian, the young man would definitely suffer greatly under the torture of the poison.
"Now, it's time to face his real enemy. " Said Yuanzheng Yuwen with a gaze towards Fu Yin Kai and the elder that the girl had brought.
"You know about my identity ?" Fu Yin Kai asked slightly surprised.
"Who doesn't know about Miss Fu who is an inner disciple of the Blue Ice Sect ? " Tanya Yuanzheng Yuwen.
When she heard these words, her heart could not help but tremble and she now realized one thing.
If it turns out, Yuanzheng Yuwen is not even less terrible than Fu Yin Kai who comes from the Blue Ice Sect, or even more dangerous.
No one knew where this Yuanzheng Yuwen came from, either, people only know that the Emperor before him brought a young man aged 13 years to be made an adopted son and given the title.
The previous emperor greatly appreciated him unlike the current Emperor who was beset by deep envy and fear because Yuanzheng Yuwen held the most military control.
The current emperor was afraid that Yuanzheng Yuwen would take his throne and chose to cooperate with the enemy to take down Yuanzheng Yuwen when the young man was only 17 years old.
Yuanzheng Yuwen barely survived, returning with a wound and a half-killed soldier to the end.
The citizens praised his name, this made the Emperor feel displeased and annoyed, it also made the Emperor become more afraid of Yuanzheng Yuwen.
The Emperor then ordered Yuanzheng Yuwen to guard the border continuously by giving a residence on the Southern border directly adjacent to the Mystery Forest.
Mystery Forest was a very strange forest and covered by poisonous gas, people who walked in would not be able to return.
Currently, it is known that there is only one tribe living in the mystery forest. They very rarely came out and each of them was a poison master.
