Chapter 112: Truly Poisonous

Truly Poisonous

"Follow me."

Aian led them to a place surrounded by coral reefs; the colorful, vibrant corals were a delight to behold.

Aian invited them to sit, "Is this place alright?"

After receiving Chaosheng's reply, Aian nodded and looked at the younger sister behind her: "Ailu, go and get some food."

"Alright."

Soon, fresh meat stained with blood was presented.

Aian sat at the head, and several handsome Male Beastmen quickly gathered around to massage and feed her.

Aian sighed with satisfaction and looked at Chaosheng, "Speak, what is the matter!"

"Then I will be direct." Chaosheng did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point, "I heard that many Beastmen in your Tribe have consumed Sea Spirit Ginseng, is that right?"

"Mm." Aian nodded, not understanding, "Xizhi sent us some at the time, and we also bought some ourselves from the Whale Shark Tribe."

"Later, we found the place where Sea Spirit Ginseng grows, and we even went and snatched a lot of it."

Aian spoke with pride, but Chaosheng's face sank a little, "This..."

"Leader Aian, what I want to tell you today is that Sea Spirit Ginseng is poisonous."

"Poisonous?" The contentment on Aian's face froze instantly; she shoved away the Male Beastman feeding her, and her tail fin slammed heavily against the coral reef, causing several fragments of coral to tumble down with a rustle, "How is that possible?"

"After the Beastmen in your Tribe consumed Sea Spirit Ginseng, it did indeed have the effect of purifying the Mental Sea."

"Although after eating it for a long time, it becomes less useful."

"But there were no abnormalities."

Ailu, standing behind Aian, also frowned, her slender fingers gripping the shell belt at her waist: "Right, those Beastmen really didn't have any abnormalities after consuming Sea Spirit Ginseng."

Facing their skepticism, Chaosheng tapped her fingertips lightly on the cold coral stone: "The poison of Sea Spirit Ginseng is different."

"The toxicity is very slow, but very strong."

"It remains hidden in the body, and when a certain opportunity arises, it will cause the Beastman to die suddenly."

She raised her eyes to look at Aian, the surrounding water light reflecting in her deep purple pupils, "Although the toxicity of Sea Spirit Ginseng is very slow, even at its slowest, it only lasts for one year at most."

"Once the time is up, all the Male Beastmen who have consumed Sea Spirit Ginseng will die."

Aian's expression changed abruptly.

She knew some of the inside story; this Sea Spirit Ginseng was something Xizhi and her group had discovered by chance and then sold directly.

No one knew what would happen to the Beastmen one year after consuming the Sea Spirit Ginseng.

If it were truly as Chaosheng said...

"Then..." Aian's voice tightened, "What should we do?"

"I have a way to detoxify it."

Chaosheng took out the White Cold Leaf she had specially brought from the lining of her gauze garment; the dark green, whitish leaves shivered, emitting the extreme cold of the deep winter.

"This is a White Cold Leaf."

"Using a special method, one can neutralize the poison of the Sea Spirit Ginseng."

"What do I need to do?"

Aian put away her flippancy and became two parts more serious.

"Wait until tomorrow." Chaosheng thought for a moment, "Bring the Male Beastmen in your Tribe who have consumed Sea Spirit Ginseng up to my Ice Cave."

"At that time, I will go to detoxify them."

"Hmph!" A Male Beastman sitting next to Aian snorted with disdain, "That sounds so mysterious."

"Who knows if what you're saying is true or false."

"There are so many Beastmen who have eaten Sea Spirit Ginseng, yet you are so kind as to only come and tell us."

"Don't tell me you're specifically targeting us to scam us."

"What did you say?" Anger flashed in Baini's black eyes, and he clenched his jaw tightly, wanting to give this ignorant Beastman a taste of his power.

"You're courting death!"

"Baini!"

Chaosheng called out quickly; she patted Baini's wrist soothingly and whispered to him, "It's fine, I'll handle this."

"Leader Aian, I came because I considered my connection with the War Shark Tribe, and also because of Changye's plea."

Aian frowned in distress; she looked at Changye, who had been keeping his head down behind Chaosheng, "Come, Changye, you tell me."

"Is all of this true?"

She didn't trust other Beastmen, but Changye was Changya's younger brother; he wouldn't just follow along to the War Shark Tribe for no reason.

Upon hearing this, Changye nodded, "It is true."

"I also saw the time when Chaosheng the female detoxified the other Beastmen."

Changye's voice was not loud, but it was like a stone thrown into calm seawater, instantly suppressing the surrounding whispers. He raised his eyes to look at Aian, his deep black pupils showing no sign of evasion: "I believe in Chaosheng the female, and it was also my request that she come to save the Beastmen in our Tribe."

Aian's expression sank even further.

If this matter were true, it would be no small affair.

So many Male Beastmen in the Polar Sea had consumed Sea Spirit Ginseng, and some Tribes had even gone so far as to spend all their Crystal Coins just to buy this Sea Spirit Ginseng.

As it turns out, this Sea Spirit Ginseng not only failed to properly purify the Beastmen's Mental Seas, but it was also going to poison them to death?

How could the Beastmen endure this?

Although Aian was usually at odds with those Tribes, she could not just stand by and watch them all die in vain.

Thinking of this, Aian's eyes turned fierce; it was all Xizhi's fault, how dare she sell such a thing that harms Beastmen at a high price?!

It was a good thing she was dead, otherwise, she would definitely take her Beastmen to tear her apart!

"Leader..." The Male Beastman who had just spoken insolently wanted to say something more, but was glared back by a cold look from Aian.

"Shut up!" Aian's tail fin struck the coral reef heavily, "Since Changye has said so, then I naturally believe Chaosheng."

She turned to Chaosheng, her tone softening significantly, "It is my lack of strict discipline that has made you laugh."

"Tomorrow, I will certainly bring all the Beastmen in the Tribe who have consumed the Sea Spirit Ginseng to visit the Ice Cave on time."

Chaosheng nodded slightly: "Good."

"Come, sit down and continue eating!"

After the matter was settled, Aian's heart also settled down a little.

The Male Beastman glared at Changye unconvinced; noticing this, Changye pulled down his eyelid and made a face at him, "Hmph!"

Seeing that the discussion about the Sea Spirit Ginseng was finished, Changye could not stop the little schemes in his heart from bubbling up.

He rolled his deep black eyes and said to Aian, "Leader, in a few days, Chaosheng the female has a happy event to attend to."

"You couldn't come the first time, so you must come this time."

"Oh?" Aian sat up straight, her face showing intense interest, "What is it?"

Yinxu's eyes deepened, and he thought to himself, as expected.

So this is what they were waiting for.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and spoke first: "It's nothing!"

Baini also caught on at this moment, and the look in his eyes as he watched Changye held a bit more depth; very well, still harboring that intention.

Aian: "Hmm?"

"There is, there is." Changye steeled his heart, ignoring the murderous glares from Baini and Yinxu, "Chaosheng the female is taking a new Beast Husband in a few days."
