Chapter 2928: then translation of chapter title

Seeing the elder's smug expression, as if he were saying he'd hold this secret over Bai Yu for life, Bai Yu's teeth itched with anger.

Interpretation: Seeing this elder with that smug look of "I'll hold this secret over you for a lifetime", Bai Yu felt his teeth itch with anger.

We need natural English: "Seeing that elder's smug look, as if he'd hold this secret over Bai Yu for a lifetime, Bai Yu's teeth itched with anger."

But need to keep meaning. Let's produce: "Seeing that elder's smug look, as if he'd hold this secret over Bai Yu for a lifetime, Bai Yu's teeth itched with anger."

But there's nothing he can do; he still doesn't know how much this damned thing knows.

"But there's nothing he can do, and he still doesn't know just how much that damned thing knows."

But right now is definitely not the time to reveal themselves; otherwise, his whole family would never be able to escape the Feather God Realm.

"But now is absolutely not the time to expose himself; otherwise, his whole family would never make it out of the Feather God Tribe's Shenjie."

So the top priority right now is to first keep this guy under control.

"So the immediate priority is still to stabilize this guy first."

He's been forcing himself to endure, and the more Bai Yu does that, the more smug the elder gets.

"He had been enduring with all his might, but the more Bai Yu restrained himself, the more pleased the elder grew."

He pursed his lips, gently blew on the tea's steam a few times, then drank it, and finally smacked his lips.

"He pursed his lips, gently blew on the tea a few times, then drank it, and finally smacked his lips."

That provocative tone was really turned up to the max.

"That provocative tone was truly turned up to the max."

After finishing the tea, the elder turned his gaze back to Bai Yu and gave a broad smile.

"After finishing the tea, the elder turned his gaze back to Bai Yu and grinned."

"Elder Bai, from now on I think I can call the wind and summon the rain here at your place."

"\"Elder Bai, from now on, I fear I can call the wind and summon the rain at your place. \""

"You……"

"\"You…………………\""

Hearing that, Bai Yu's teeth were almost grinding apart, but he couldn't utter a single rebuttal, only managing to force out each word through clenched teeth.

"Hearing that, Bai Yu's teeth were almost grinding apart, yet he couldn't utter a single rebuttal, only managing to force out each word through clenched teeth."

"What do you want?"

"\"What do you want? \""

Bai Yu grew anxious, while the elder stayed calm.

"Bai Yu grew anxious, while the elder, on the contrary, was not in a hurry."

"No rush; I want many things, Elder Bai might not be able to satisfy them all at once. We have plenty of time; we can talk later. Anyway……"

"\"Not in a hurry; I want many things, Elder Bai probably can't satisfy them all at once. We have plenty of time—we'll talk later. Anyway……………\""

Midway through his sentence, the elder suddenly froze, then stared at Bai Yu with a terrified look, his eyes full of venom as he spoke.

"Mid-sentence, the elder suddenly froze, then turned a horrified, resentful glare at Bai Yu and said:"

"There's poison in the tea, Bai Yu, you……"

"\"There's poison in the tea, Bai Yu, you…………………\""

Immediately his complexion turned dark and bluish-black, clearly showing severe poisoning.

"Instantly his face turned dark as iron, clearly showing severe poisoning."

Just looking at the symptoms makes it obvious this isn't an ordinary toxin; it must be a supreme poison.

"Just looking at his condition makes it obvious this is no ordinary poison—it must be a supreme toxin."

Otherwise, given the elder's cultivation level, it would be impossible for him to deteriorate this quickly, to the point he couldn't even finish a sentence.

"Otherwise, given the elder's cultivation level, it would be impossible for him to deteriorate this quickly, to the point he couldn't even finish a sentence."

But seeing the guy's condition, Bai Yu was utterly baffled—he hadn't poisoned him, so how did he get poisoned?

"But seeing the guy's state, Bai Yu was utterly baffled—he hadn't poisoned anyone, so how did he end up poisoned?"

Then he recalled the earlier remark and turned to look at the teapot—could it be the lady?

"Then, recalling the earlier remark, Bai Yu turned his head to glance at the teapot—could it be the lady?"

A surge of emotion welled up in his heart; surely the lady knew his predicament and secretly acted to eliminate this guy once and for all.

"A surge of emotion welled up in his heart; surely the lady knew his predicament and secretly acted to eliminate this fellow once and for all."

Moreover, to prevent herself from accidentally drinking it, the lady had prepared only a single cup.

"Moreover, to prevent herself from accidentally ingesting it, the lady had prepared only a single cup."

Such a basic mistake, the lady would naturally not make it; she must have done it on purpose.

"Such a basic mistake—of course the lady wouldn't make it; she must have done it on purpose."

Indeed, the beautiful lady intentionally did this, but she did so to avoid accidentally harming the elder across from her.

"Indeed, the lady Mei Furen did it intentionally, but she did so to avoid harming the elder across from her."

After all, killing both at once would surely cause complications, so she deliberately prepared only one cup.

"After all, killing both at once would surely cause complications, so she deliberately prepared just one cup."

Anyway, it happens in an instant; the elder brother said this poison is extremely potent—even a single drop would kill a Feather God Clan elder of the highest rank within fifteen minutes.

"Anyway, it acts in an instant; the elder brother said this poison is extremely potent—even a Feather God Tribe elder of the highest rank would surely die within fifteen minutes from a single drop."

The process is swift, with little pain; difficulty breathing is normal, and you just have to endure it till it passes.

"The process is swift, with little pain; irregular breathing is normal—just endure and it will pass."

But unexpectedly, Bai Yu didn't drink it; instead, the elder forced himself to drink it all while putting on an act.

"But unexpectedly, Bai Yu didn't drink it; instead, the elder forced himself to gulp it down while putting on a show."

Having drunk that much, and with the beautiful lady even adding extra dosage, the result goes without saying.

"Having drunk so much, and with Mei Furen having deliberately increased the dose, the outcome goes without saying."

But Bai Yu didn't know any of this; facing the outcome, he assumed the lady was worried about him and risked her own safety to eliminate this threat for him.

"Bai Yu, unaware of all this, saw the result and assumed the lady was worried for him, risking herself to remove this threat."

Thinking of this, Bai Yu's eyes welled up—what fortune to have such a wife!

"Thinking this, Bai Yu's eyes welled up—what fortune to have such a wife!"

Immediately, under Bai Yu's complex gaze, the elder strained to lift his finger and shouted with all his strength.

"Then, under Bai Yu's complex gaze, the elder strained to lift his finger and shouted with all his might:"

"Despicable…… villain……"

"\"Despicable………………villain…………………\""

He hadn't finished speaking when, the next second, he collapsed and lost all breath.

"He hadn't finished speaking when, the next second, his body collapsed and he breathed his last."

Confirming that the guy was truly dead, Bai Yu finally took a deep breath—just then, the beautiful lady walked out.

"Confirming the guy was truly dead, Bai Yu finally drew a deep breath—just then, Mei Furen walked out."

The smile on her face instantly turned to bewilderment as she took in the scene before her.

"The smile on her face instantly turned to bewilderment as she took in the scene."

"No way—how did you die? My husband isn't dead!"

"\"No way—how did you die? My husband isn't dead! \""

Seeing Bai Yu alive and well, the lady was dumbfounded—she had used up all the poison, yet someone else died.

"Faced with the perfectly alive Bai Yu, Mei Furen was dumbfounded—she'd used up all the poison, yet someone else died."

Faced with the lady's bewildered expression, Bai Yu naturally assumed she was just frightened.

"Seeing Mei Furen's stunned expression, Bai Yu naturally assumed she had been frightened."

That makes sense—the lady is just an ordinary homemaker, never involved in disputes, and has always been well protected by him.

"Indeed, the lady was just an ordinary homemaker, never involved in disputes, and had always been well protected by him."

Today she did something as drastic as poisoning an elder for his sake; it's no wonder her nerves are shaken and she's frightened.

"Today, for his sake, she had done something as drastic as poisoning an elder; being unsettled and frightened is understandable."

Moved, Bai Yu temporarily set aside the elder's corpse, rose, gently took the lady's hand, and softly comforted her.

"Moved, Bai Yu temporarily set aside the elder's corpse, rose, gently took her hand, and softly comforted her."

"Lady, don't be afraid—I'm here for everything."

"\"Lady, don't be afraid—I'm here for everything. \""

"I…… this…… you……"

"\"I…………this…………you……………\""

Faced with Bai Yu's comfort, the lady's head was buzzing—what's going on? What does this all mean?

"Faced with Bai Yu's comfort, Mei Furen's head buzzed—\"What's going on? What does this even mean? \""

"How are you still alive?"

"\"How are you still alive? \""

But Bai Yu didn't grasp her meaning at all; after comforting her, he helped support the dazed lady back to the rear courtyard room.

"But Bai Yu utterly failed to grasp her meaning; after consoling her, he helped the distraught lady back to the rear courtyard room."

He gave her a few words to rest well, and said he'd figure out what to do next.

"He gave her a few words to rest well, and said he'd figure out what to do next."

No one knew when Bai Yu left; when the lady finally came to, she saw only a closed door and an empty room.

"No one knew when Bai Yu had left; when Mei Furen finally came to, she saw only a shut door and an empty room."

"What should we do now?"

"\"What should we do now? \""

"The poison was misapplied; for a moment the lady had no idea what to do, and the first person she thought of right now was her brother."

"Having poisoned the wrong person, Mei Furen was at a loss for a moment; the first person she thought of was her elder brother."

She needed to quickly inform her brother so he could think of a solution.

"She needed to quickly inform her brother so he could devise a plan."

Thinking of that, she tried to leave, but upon pushing the door she discovered Bai Yu had placed a seal on the room, preventing her from exiting.

"Thinking of that, she tried to leave, but upon pushing the door she discovered Bai Yu had sealed the room with a restriction—she couldn't get out at all."

The seal was triggered, and along with it came Bai Yu's concerned voice recording.

"When the restriction was triggered, a concerned voice message from Bai Yu came through."

"Lady, rest well; don't worry about me—I have a plan. Please stay at home and wait for me."

"\"Lady, rest well; don't worry about me—I have a way. Please stay at home and wait for me. \""

"Your loving husband."

"\"Your loving husband. \""

"Huh???"

"\"Huh??? \""

After the words faded, the lady went numb.

"As the words faded, Mei Furen went numb."

Fucking hell, this idiot locked her up? Holy shit............

She wanted to shout for help, but the sound wouldn't carry; she wanted to forcibly break the restriction, but her cultivation was too weak to even cause a ripple.

Finally she wanted to contact Bai Yu, but discovered that the restriction this idiot had set up even isolated the Feather God Tribe's sound-transmission techniques and treasures.

It can be said that she had completely lost contact with the outside world.

Bai Yu doing this was naturally for protection, but now it directly broke Mei Furen's defenses.

In the room she was so anxious she jumped up and down, shouting angrily.

"You idiot, what are you doing? Let me out!"

However, Bai Yu, being in the secret chamber, naturally couldn't hear these words; that elder's corpse had already been moved by him into the secret chamber.

Even the traces in the Front Hall were wiped away by him immediately.

After waiting a short while in the secret chamber, not long later Hui Yu received a message and hurried over; upon seeing Bai Yu, he couldn't help but complain.

"What's wrong, rushing me over like this? At this juncture we need to be careful."

"I know, follow me."

Immediately Bai Yu brought Hui Yu into the secret chamber; as soon as they entered, they saw that elder lying on the ground, and Hui Yu was still puzzled.

"How did he fall asleep here?"

"Huh???"

Hearing that, Bai Yu's mouth twitched: "You damn, those two holes are for breathing!"
