That was Salamay's real objective. She had struggled for so many years, only for everything to fall through at the last second. How could she bear to just let it end like this? The regent had agreed to spare her and Mojard’s lives, but she didn’t have anything left now. Even if she had her life, what could she still accomplish? In the end, the only hope for her was to enter that sealed world. Her father, the Lord of Slaughter, was still alive there. As long as she obtained his help, there was still a chance to reverse things! Zu An finally understood what she was thinking. He was amazed by this woman’s ruthlessness, but he also regretted acting too carelessly earlier. Jiang Luofu said remorsefully, “It’s all my fault. If I hadn't messed things up, how would we have been fooled by this woman?!” “I didn’t lie to you, it’s just that I chose my words selectively.” Salamay was quite proud of herself. “Otherwise, how could that lie detection tool have not noticed anything?” Zu An and Jiang Luofu were both surprised. She had suggested that there was a way to suppress the innate Cruel Poison Constitution. It seemed that it wasn’t the Poison Avoidance Pill, but rather another method she knew. His sword advanced and pressed against Salamay’s chin. “Tell me the method, and I can bring you to that sealed world.” When she sensed the coldness and killing intent of that sword, Salamay felt goosebumps all over. Even though her entire body was shaking, however, she still gritted her teeth and insisted, “No, bring me to that world first and promise to let us go. Only then will I tell you.” “Do you think I'm as untrustworthy as you?” Zu An’s voice became even colder. “This is my last hope. I had to take a gamble!” Salamay hissed through clenched teeth. Zu An turned around to the Time Scribe. “You already knew that the Poison Avoidance Pearl would cause an adverse reaction from the beginning, didn’t you?” 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚 The Time Scribe quickly waved his hands. “I really didn’t know!” Zu An really looked as if he was out for blood. He definitely didn’t want to be involved. “You're a Time Scribe who records all kinds of things across the realms. How could you possibly not know?” Zu An didn’t believe him at all. His powerful killing intent locked onto the Scribe. The Time Scribe quickly took out a book and a pen. Cold sweat poured down his forehead as he said, “Your respected self has truly misunderstood! We Time Scribes record important events across the universe, but every single Time Scribe’s field of specialty is different. For example, I do not know about poisons at all, and only heard some rumors about the Cruel Poison Constitution. I really didn’t know that the Poison Avoidance Pearl would create this kind of reaction!” “Then do you know how to keep this Cruel Poison Constitution under control?” Zu An quickly asked. The Time Scribe shook his head. “I do not know.” When he saw Zu An’s eyes grow a bit colder, he quickly added, “But there should be other Time Scribes who know.” “Then help me ask about it. Consider it a favor for me,” Zu An added. The Time Scribe said with a bitter smile, “The Time Scribes are all scattered across the realms, and their identities are all of utmost secrecy. I do not know who the other Time Scribes are, or where they are. Only every few centuries do the Time Scribes have a great gathering to exchange and organize the major events that took place in that period. There are still fifty-two years until the next meeting.” Zu An was speechless. Fifty-two years? The dishes would’ve already turned cold by then. Salamay sighed in relief. “As long as you agree to my condition, I'll tell you the method to suppress it. So?” “Fine!” Zu An said after thinking for a bit. That was already the only solution he had at this point. When she heard his agreement, Salamay had a proud expression. What dog world lord, what invincible strongest? Weren’t they still toyed with in this first miss’ palm the entire time? Just then, Zu An flicked his finger and a pill shot into her mouth. Salamay was laughing, so how could she protect herself? The pill entered her throat. She quickly tried to cough, but an invisible hand grabbed her chin, so she could only forcibly swallow it. She exclaimed in shock and fury, “What did you feed me?” You have successfully trolled Salamay for +110 +110 +110… “A Lifedeath Pill,” Zu An said with a sneer. Salamay’s expression changed. She had just seen how bitterly the True Demon race elders suffered from it. Before she could even think anything else, however, the Lifedeath Pill’s effects activated. “Aaaaaaaaah!” She screamed in pain. She fell to the ground and rolled back and forth in agony. Pei Mianman was startled. She quickly withdrew her sword and got some distance away from Salamay. Salamay scratched frantically at her body. Soon after, several bloody scars appeared on her neck and face, as if she wanted to rip her own skin off. “First miss!” Mojard’s eye sockets were about to split apart when he saw that. He wanted to save her, but he was firmly restrained in place. The True Demon elders swallowed with difficulty. When they saw this sight, they remembered their own experience. This poison was just too horrifying! They secretly gave the weak and humble-looking Ji Xiaoxi a look. The poison she'd made was actually this terrifying! “Bastard Zu, hurry and give the first miss the antidote! If you have the guts, then come at me instead!” Mojard shouted furiously as he stared at Zu An. You have successfully trolled Mojard for +499 +499 +499… With a flick of Zu An’s hand, a Lifedeath Pill shot into his open mouth. Mojard was stunned. Why isn’t this guy acting like you’d expect him to? You should be giving the first miss the antidote! “Aaaaaaaaah!” The poison inside Mojard also activated quickly. He started to roll on the ground too, but he did his best to stay away from Salamay. However, this itchiness and pain seemed to come from his very soul. Zu An didn’t even feel like giving him another look. He walked up to Salamay and said, “Tell me the cure for the innate Cruel Poison Constitution and I’ll give you the antidote!” Despite the extreme pain, Salamay let out a maddened, sinister laugh. “Unless you agree to my conditions, I won’t tell you even if I die! AAAAAAAAH!” When they saw her continue to roll on the ground in that deranged state, everyone else couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration. This woman was extremely fierce toward others, but she was similarly ruthless toward herself. She was actually able to endure even this kind of pain! Zu An remained expressionless. He just stared at Salamay calmly, waiting for her to yield to this terrifying poison. However, even after the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, she still didn’t say a single thing apart from screaming. Instead, her voice grew weaker and weaker, and her body was soon drenched in blood. Zu An frowned and tossed the temporary antidote in front of her. He actually had other ways to interrogate her, like the Continuous Hell. Not even the most powerful monsters could endure its suffering. But still, this was related to Ji Xiaoxi’s safety. He was worried that Salamay would actually die, choosing to just end herself. The Lifedeath Pill’s poison was already on par with certain tortures in the hells, and yet this woman was actually able to endure it. Looking at her face, Zu An saw a level of ruthlessness and resentment that not even many evil spirits had. She, who had already lost everything, was probably able to endure far more than he'd expected her to. For Ji Xiaoxi’s sake, he didn’t want to take on any bit of risk. Salamay saw the antidote in front of her and grabbed it like a drowning person grabbing at a straw. She shoved it into her mouth so quickly that she ended up eating some grass too. When the antidote entered her stomach, she finally started to calm down. She lay on the grassland, cutting a sorry figure. She covered her eyes with her arms, tears sliding down her eyes. However, she was laughing about the fact that her gamble had finally succeeded. Zu An tossed the other antidote to Mojard, who soon recovered and looked at Zu An and Ji Xiaoxi with eyes full of fear. At the same time, his expression was really complicated when he looked at Salamay. He couldn't endure that suffering at all. The first miss really is extraordinary… Salamay’s clothes were in tatters from clawing at her own body. Pei Mianman frowned, taking out an outfit and giving it to her. “Put this over yourself.” “I don’t need your hypocritical condolences.” Salamay tossed it to the ground. She sat up and stared at Zu An, saying, “It seems you’ve agreed to my proposal.”
