Chapter 2984

~7 min read 1,203 words

Just as a woman trusts a man, Tianhe also had full confidence in Zhao Tianqing's poison Dao cultivation.

What does it matter if they are innate races? Zhao Tianqing has certainly poisoned to death innate race experts before.

Just as the two were secretly relaxing, waiting to watch the show, the man suddenly seemed to sense something, turned his head sharply and looked at the woman, his eyes full of hostility.

Huh???

The woman, who had just let out a sigh of relief, sensed the man's ill-intentioned gaze, and her heart clenched again instantly.

This look isn't right, why are you staring at me like that?

In contrast, Tianhe remained calm and composed, obviously knowing the reason for the man's abnormality.

This time, the poison Zhao Tianqing prepared was not lethal, but a poison with hallucinogenic effects.

Its effect is extremely similar to an illusion technique, only the method of casting differs.

Zhao Tianqing wasn't sure whether this hallucinogenic poison would work on these innate race experts, so he deliberately added some extra ingredients.

Directly poisoning someone to death would be convenient, but the man and his companion are two people; even if he seized the opportunity to kill one, leaving the other alive would still be troublesome.

It would be better to change tactics, using other means to let them wound each other first, then finish them off.

Thus, Zhao Tianqing prepared this poison with strong hallucinogenic effects.

Tianhe knew the drug had taken effect, but the woman did not.

She only felt her scalp go numb from the man's gaze, and her whole body felt off.

Until, the coldness in the man's eyes grew stronger, and he finally spat out a vicious sentence.

"Bold thief, dare you covet my treasure?"

Huh???

Upon hearing that, the woman was dumbfounded: "Who coveted your treasure? Besides, who the hell is your treasure?"

However, after his words fell, the man turned his head and put on a gentle expression, saying.

"Don't be afraid, treasure; I'll kill this person right away, you can rest assured, there's no danger."

Hearing that, Tianhe forced himself to nod slightly and gave a soft "en."

Seeing them like that, the woman felt numb all over—no, what's going on now? Are you crazy?

But before the woman could think further, seeing Tianhe nod, the man turned and lunged straight at her.

Seeing this, the woman's eyes widened: "Shouldn't I be watching the show? Why is he coming at me now?"

Faced with the man's attack, the woman dared not be careless; though she didn't understand, she could only raise her hands to resist.

She could see that the man's strike was merciless; even a glancing blow would likely injure her badly.

She never figured out what was happening, and they just started fighting in a daze; the woman was furious, gritting her teeth.

While striking, she shouted.

"Are you crazy?"

"Anyone who dares covet my person is asking for death."

"Who the hell coveted your person?"

"Cut the nonsense; come and die."

"You……………………are you that cup of wine?"

After trying, she found communication impossible; the man seemed to not know her at all, treating her as a completely nonexistent opponent, a rival trying to steal his woman.

Suddenly, the woman recalled that cup of poisoned wine from earlier.

She had already guessed it was poisoned wine, but because of the man's cultivation method, she wasn't particularly worried.

After all, what strong poison Dao cultivation could a mere bunch of Half-People have?

But she never expected that this damned cup wasn't a lethal poison, but a hallucinogenic poison.

Now, combined with that old thing's Charm Technique, it was like adding wings to a tiger, throwing the man into utter confusion.

Thinking of this, the woman's teeth itched with anger—how did things turn out like this? Weren't they fine before?

Each step was truly beyond expectation, leaving one defenseless.

And watching the two fighting fiercely, Tianhe also hadn't expected the plan to go so smoothly; this was clearly a posture of fighting to the death.

The plan succeeded perfectly; at the same time, Yue Linxian and Zhao Tianqing outside the hall immediately activated the Formation.

To prevent the battle's aftermath from affecting the entire Immortal City Beyond the Heavens.

A battle of this level, without Formation control, would likely bring disaster to the whole Immortal City Beyond the Heavens.

Furthermore, to be safe, the two directly set up three Formations in succession.

The Formations rose into the air, completely covering the great hall; immediately, Yue Linxian and Zhao Tianqing also rushed into the hall.

Seeing that the man and woman were indeed fighting, they couldn't help but feel delighted.

"Good, good, good—I said you were still sharp as ever."

Yue Linxian couldn't help but voice his praise, and even patted Tianhe on the shoulder.

However, Tianhe's mouth twitched; the plan succeeded, but there was a small mishap—the target was wrong.

This apparently had to do with his own Charm Technique; he intended to charm that woman, but who knew the man would be the one affected.

But for now, Yue Linxian and the others still didn't know this; they just saw the two locked in fierce combat, and the plan succeeded perfectly.

Everyone thought Tianhe had charmed that woman, until………………………

"Anyone who dares seize my treasure, today I will surely kill you."

"You've had enough; when will you stop being crazy? Take a good look at who I am."

"I don't care who you are; if you dare have designs on my treasure, I will make you die."

Huh???

Hearing that exchange, Yue Linxian and Zhao Tianqing finally sensed that something was off.

No, why does this sound so weird? What on earth is happening?

The man keeps calling her baby, but why does the woman look so clear-headed?

Yue Linxian and the other turned their gazes toward Tianhe at the same time, their eyes full of questioning. Facing their stares, Tianhe couldn't help but blush, but he steeled himself and spoke.

This... the plan had only a tiny little flaw, but it's no big deal.

What flaw?

Yue Linxian said doubtfully.

That cup of poisoned wine was drunk by that guy.

Huh???

Hearing Tianhe's words, Yue Linxian and the other initially didn't catch on—how could this wine have been drunk by that guy? That shouldn't be.

But soon, the two seemed to realize something—since that guy drank that cup of wine, it must mean that beforehand he..........

Thinking this, Zhao Tianqing was the first to snap back, saying with a weird look.

You actually charmed that man?

I........ am........

Although feeling a bit embarrassed and not knowing what to say, he could only steel himself and nod as he spoke.

Seeing Tianhe himself nod, Zhao Tianqing and Yue Linxian fell into silence.

No, I told you to charm that woman—why are you messing with that guy? You kid, won't you have any issues?

In Yue Linxian's eyes, since Tianhe could charm that man, he surely could also charm that woman.

This isn't a problem of the charm technique lacking; it's purely a matter of choice.

Your orientation, kid, couldn't be off, could it? Unconsciously, both of them took a slight step back.
