Chapter 2983: Screw it, let's just go with the mistake

She frowned tightly, staring deathly at Tianhe as he approached step by step, completely clueless about what this old thing wanted to do.

Do you really think you can take her down with just this bit of charm technique?

Being the only woman present, Tianhe's charm technique was surely aimed at her, so she naturally thought so.

But she was completely unaffected at the moment.

Leaving aside the level of Tianhe's charm technique, at your age you're far too old—long past the age suitable for using charm technique.

You're toothless old, yet you still mess with all this flashy nonsense.

When Tianhe came to stand not far below, the woman finally let out a cold snort and said.

"What are you up to?"

Too lazy to play along, she bluntly demanded.

Hearing that, Tianhe felt uncertain; just seeing the woman's clear eyes told him she hadn't been affected.

Since entering the hall, he had been fully activating his charm bone, holding nothing back.

Yet the woman resisted and remained unaffected, leaving Tianhe feeling suddenly powerless.

That's how charm technique works: if it charms, it succeeds; if it doesn't, there's nothing to do—either it works or it doesn't.

Since the woman wasn't charmed now, Tianhe had no recourse, but given the situation, there was naturally no reason to stop.

So, even though the woman wasn't charmed, Tianhe forced himself to speak.

"Fairy Maiden, how do I look to you?"

Saying that, he threw a flirtatious glance; seeing this, the woman only felt her eyes were sullied, and she gritted her teeth and shouted.

"Enough…………"

However, just as her words left her mouth, a man's voice sounded from nearby.

"Beautiful."

"Huh???"

Although just a single simple word, it made both the woman and Tianhe startle, and the hall's air seemed to turn strange in an instant.

The woman widened her eyes and turned her head; she saw that the man, who had always been calm and still, was now fixing Tianhe with a fiery gaze.

It felt as if he wanted to swallow Tianhe whole.

Not only the woman, but Tianhe himself felt that scorching gaze; there was no way to miss it, like the blazing sun in the sky.

As for such a gaze, Tianhe could only say he was all too familiar with it, having encountered it almost daily in his youth.

But wait, this is wrong—his target was that woman, so why didn't she fall under it, while this man did instead?

In the duo's stupor, the man sprang up so quickly that even the woman beside him was startled.

"What the hell is going on with you?"

Before the woman could react, the man took a step, and in the next second his figure appeared beside Tianhe.

Without a word, he wrapped his arms around Tianhe's old waist.

Feeling the warmth at his waist, Tianhe unconsciously swallowed, thinking, "This must be a mistake."

At that moment, the man gazed deeply at Tianhe and spoke softly.

"You are the person I've been looking for."

Upon hearing that, Tianhe was dazed, and the woman was dazed.

Though they had known each other for years, looking at the man before her, the woman felt she still didn't know him well enough.

This taste is too heavy.

And Tianhe, having snapped out of his stupor, was clearly utterly infatuated with the enamored man.

Thinking the target was wrong, but the goal seemed achieved—the first step of the plan was done.

Thinking this through, Tianhe gritted his teeth; since that was the case, he might as well go all in and double down on the mistake.

Anyway, according to the plan, the first move was to eliminate that woman.

But now the woman wasn't charmed; instead, the man was completely enthralled.

Since that's the case, dealing with the man first is fine—just kill one first and worry later.

Having come to this, Tianhe could only steel himself and continue fully activating his charm bone.

And the man, under that strong charm, became ever more lost.

Even later, under Tianhe's urging, ignoring the woman's dissuasion, he downed a cup of fine wine in one go.

As for that cup of wine, the woman was naturally on high alert—this old thing was clearly off, the wine surely had problems; how dare you drink it?

But he completely ignored the woman's obstruction, truly tipping his head back and draining it.

Wait............

Before he could finish speaking, the wine had entered his belly, and the woman stared at the scene before her, shocked.

"You're really asking for death."

Immediately she turned her gaze to Tianhe, killing intent surging in her eyes—these Half-People are indeed untrustworthy.

They've only been here a day and already they're stirring trouble; although she wasn't sure what their scheme was, she was certain they harbored no good intentions.

That wine probably had something wrong with it.

But as her killing intent gathered, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and a cold smile curled her lips.

Just now, her concern had made her overthink—these people are merely a bunch of Half-People; what sophisticated tricks could they have?

Moreover, poisoning? Hah, all that can be said is they picked the wrong target.

If she herself had drunk that wine, she'd still be in some trouble, since she knows nothing of poison arts and has never cultivated them.

But the man is different—giving him that poisoned wine is like throwing a meat bun at a dog.

Although the man also cultivates poison arts, his method is called the Myriad Poisons Treasure Classic.

This cultivation method allows the Xiūliàn practitioner's cultivated Línglì to carry deadly poison; against anyone whose cultivation realm is inferior to one's own, even a trace of contact will cause severe injury if not death.

Even if one forcibly suppresses that deadly poison, its toxicity will still, in an instant, like maggots attached to the bone, penetrate deep into the bones and meridians, making it difficult to expel.

Besides that, the Myriad Poisons Treasure Classic also possesses a heaven-defying trait.

That is, the Xiūliàn practitioner's poison resistance is extremely high.

After all, practicing this Xiūliàn method inherently requires cooperation with numerous extremely toxic substances; long-term contact with these extremely toxic substances naturally continually raises one's poison resistance.

Given the man's current cultivation realm, even among their innate race, wanting to poison him to death would be extremely difficult.

Unless it is those true masters of the poison Dao who have a chance.

As for these Half-People, what kind of poison can they concoct?

This level of toxicity, to the man, is probably no different from sugar water.

Just now, in a moment of panic, I forgot this; now that I recall it, the woman instead is not panicked.

All that can be said is that these Half-People have chosen the wrong target; they are simply extremely foolish.

Upon thinking this, the woman instead is not in a hurry to act; she now wants to see what these Half-People are really up to, what tricks they can still pull.

The Elders still need a month to arrive; being idle is fine, might as well treat it as a pastime to pass the time, like watching a monkey show.

Unbeknownst to the woman's thoughts, watching the man down that cup of poisonous wine in one gulp, Tianhe secretly let out a sigh of relief.
