"Is there any other way?"
Xuan Yuan Pei Ting immediately stared at Empress Dowager and asked with a glowing face.
"Thank you for reminding me!"
"Reporting to Eighth Prince, the news has reached us. Miss Su said she will be here in a while."
"Well done, withdraw and receive your reward." Xuan Yuan Pei Ting waved his hand.
When the Eunuch Li took his leave, Xuan Yuan Pei Ting and the dancers all dispersed. Sitting alone at the table with the wine and the fruit and the sweet, he sighed softly.
Only then did he take out the porcelain bottle that Empress Dowager gave him.
He poured the powder from the bottle into the wine cup in front of him. After that, he poured the blood-red wine into the pot. The white powder that had been poured out of the porcelain bottle melted into the wine cup in an instant, leaving no trace behind.
"It's really interesting." A clear and melodious voice rang out into the courtyard.
Xuan Yuan Pei Ting looked up and saw a cyan robed Su Xia Yue standing at the entrance of the courtyard. There was a trace of a smile on her face, but it didn't reach her eyes. It was obvious that he had only come here for the Martial Union test that he had told her about.
How laughable, there was a time when she and he could have a drink together. When did it happen?
When Su Xia Yue approached Xuan Yuan Pei Ting's body, he could smell the dense smell of alcohol on Xuan Yuan Pei Ting's body. Looking at his expression, it seemed that he was already seventy percent drunk. At that moment, he felt that he had been deceived.
With his appearance, how could he have invited me here to discuss something?
Su Xia Yue frowned slightly as he turned to leave.
Xuan Yuan Pei Ting immediately shouted, "Yue Er, tell me the truth, do you already like Ling Wang?"
Su Xia Yue, who had already turned around, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Unconsciously, she pondered for a while, before faintly saying: "Whether or not you like Nan Gong Ling Yun, has nothing to do with you. It's true that I don't like you."
"Pah!"
The sound of a wine cup shattering on the ground was clear and ear-piercing.
Su Xia Yue frowned once again, and his expression sunk.
Was he going to stay and watch the drunkard get drunk? Or just leave? Su Xia Yue only hesitated slightly before choosing the latter.
F * ck his concern!
A month ago, he had broken off all ties with this person.
However …
Su Xia Yue had only just walked to the pond in the center of the courtyard, when he felt a gust of wind brush past his ears. Soon after, he saw Xuan Yuan Pei Ting holding onto a yellow black sword, the sword tip pointing straight at his throat. The strangest thing was that due to Xuan Yuan Pei Ting's tipsy appearance, even his own footsteps became unsteady.
What made Su Xia Yue even weirder was that he was actually still holding onto the sword with one hand and drinking with the other.
Xuan Yuan Pei Ting then cracked his mouth at Su Xia Yue: "Say it, do you want to die, or do you want to get drunk with me?"
"Enough." Su Xia Yue replied coldly. Her voice seemed to be low and deep, as if she had reached the limit of her tolerance.
However, Xuan Yuan Pei Ting still did not give up.
He slashed his sword across Su Xia Yue's neck to ensure that he did not cut her neck. The blade of the sword also caused goosebumps to appear on her neck.
At this moment, the wine cup came to her lips.
He wanted to forcefully pour wine for me?
You wish!
Su Xia Yue's eyes grew cold as his elbow struck Xuan Yuan Pei Ting's ribs. The other party was knocked several meters away. Following that, Su Xia Yue turned again, catching up to Xuan Yuan Pei Ting's footsteps and ruthlessly pulling him back.
"Plop!"
Just like that, Xuan Yuan Pei Ting was dragged into the enormous lotus pond in the center of the courtyard.
Xuan Yuan Pei Ting choked on a big mouthful of water in the lotus pond before he stood up awkwardly. She glared at Su Xia Yue with her entire body covered in water.
The sword was lost and the wine spilled.
"Are you sober? "Hehehe" Su Xia Yue covered her lips and laughed lightly.
"It doesn't matter if I wake up or not. The important thing is that you just smelled a burst of laurel fragrance, right? "Hahaha!"
Xuan Yuan Pei Ting smiled as he stood in the middle of the lotus pond, unhurriedly walking towards the exit of the lotus pond.
Su Xia Yue's face suddenly changed.
She thought about it carefully. That's right! Just as Xuan Yuan Pei Ting was about to forcefully pour wine for him, he smelled the osmanthus flower's fragrance.
Could it be that there was poison in the wine!? And the poison only needed to be smelled?
"You don't need to think too much. I can tell you directly, you're the number one Charm Fragrance in the world, Bone Corrosion Sesame Fragrance."
"What is it?"
"Bone Corrosion Sesame Heart Incense is a bewitching fragrance that can cause a person's desire to have sex for a short period of time. If one doesn't have sex with another within two hours, they will be poisoned to death!" While Xuan Yuan Pei Ting was speaking, he slightly frowned.
He looked at Su Xia Yue, puzzled.
"Why haven't you reacted yet?"
"Because …"
Su Xia Yue frowned, his eyes revealing a look of worry. She was not worrying about herself, but about Nan Gong Ling Yun.
After all, because of the Body Protecting Zen Silk, all of the poison in his body would be transferred to Nan Gong Ling Yun's body. Presumably, his current body ought to have felt extremely uncomfortable.
"What would happen if a man were to smell your Eclipse Sesame Heart Fragrance?"
"Man? "You care about me?" Xuan Yuan Pei Ting misunderstood, the ice in her eyes had melted quite a bit, and there was even a gentle smile on her lips, "Don't worry, if I get poisoned, I have the antidote."
"Where is the antidote?" Su Xia Yue extended his hand out towards Xuan Yuan Pei Ting.
Xuan Yuan Pei Ting stared at Su Xia Yue, her eyes revealing a trace of deep love that made people unable to look straight at her. That gentle gaze seemed to melt Su Xia Yue whole.
"My antidote is you!"
"Scram!"
Su Xia Yue had already lost her patience, with a roar, she unsheathed her sword.
The Soul-Dagger was like a spirit serpent as it chased after Xuan Yuan Pei Ting. Just in order to find the antidote, she had not rushed to Xuan Yuan Pei Ting's fatal point and attacked him. He just rushed towards where his hands and feet were waiting.
He had to find the antidote within two hours!
