Chapter 39: Cleverness Misleads Cleverness

"En?"

Xu Que was thinking, when he heard a light sound of footsteps walking towards him, he couldn't help but come back to his senses, his eyes swept over abruptly.

Only to see Princess Yan Yang walking over gracefully under the moonlight, with a faint coldness on her peerless face, holding two small wine pots between her green jade fingers.

"Xu Que."

She called out softly, her voice melodious, walked slowly to Xu Que's side and stopped, saying calmly: "This Palace knows that you hate our Ji family, but this is a world where the strong are respected. When you have no strength, you will be manipulated by others, and even life and death cannot be controlled by yourself, just like this Palace is now being held under house arrest by you!

However, I cannot say that I have forgotten the six days I spent with you. Therefore, I toast you this cup of wine, cutting off the husband-and-wife relationship from now on, so that when you kill me, you won't fall into the stigma of 'killing your wife'."

After speaking, she handed the jade wine pot in her right hand to Xu Que.

The right hand was the Heavenly Heart Yin-Yang Wine, and the left hand was ordinary Hundred Flowers Brew. The taste of the two was almost exactly the same, but the former was poisonous wine!

Although Xu Que didn't know, it was impossible for him to foolishly go and take that pot of wine.

He glanced at Princess Yan Yang lightly, with no emotional fluctuation in his eyes, then moved his gaze away, said nothing, and completely ignored her.

Princess Yan Yang's heart trembled. The look in Xu Que's eyes just now was so cold that it was somewhat unexpected to her.

Could it be that I guessed wrong? Has he already lost all feelings for the Princess he spent six years with? Impossible...

Princess Yan Yang was unwilling to give up, and opened her mouth again: "You don't want to drink this wine, is it because you are afraid that this Palace will give you poisonous wine? Or are you still thinking about the old feelings back then?"

Xu Que sneered coldly: "You think too much, I never drink with two kinds of people, one is the dead, the other is the cheap. You are almost occupying both, so how can I drink with you?"

"You..." Princess Yan Yang was furious on the spot.

"You had better be honest. Before I decide how to deal with you, cherish your last time and repent for how many heaven-defying things you have done." Xu Que mocked and laughed disdainfully.

It's really a joke. I haven't read so many online novels for nothing all these years. If you offer courtesy without cause, it's either rape or theft. Bringing a bottle of wine over for no reason and wanting me to drink it, it's 100% poisonous wine!

"The only wrong thing I have ever done is that I shouldn't have married someone like you. Now I just want to sever all relations with you before I die. Can't you even agree to this little request?" Princess Yan Yang gritted her teeth.

Xu Que raised his brows, a sneer hanging on the corner of his mouth: "Your current situation does not qualify you to make requests to me. However, I agree to sever the husband-and-wife name with you, bring the wine."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand.

Princess Yan Yang's face had no change, still as cold as ten thousand years of ice, and she handed the wine pot in her right hand to Xu Que lightly.

Xu Que didn't rush to drink it, immediately summoned the system, and shouted in his mind: "System, check for me if this wine is poisonous!"

"Ding, the check is complete. This wine is Heavenly Heart Yin-Yang Wine. If a man drinks it, all cultivation will be dissipated, and he will not be able to cultivate in this life. If a woman drinks it, it is like a violent aphrodisiac.)"

"Damn, I knew this wine had a problem. System, is there any way to swap this wine with the one in her hand?" Xu Que asked in his mind. Since this wine is also harmful to women, he believed that the cup in Princess Yan Yang's hand was definitely not poisonous wine!

"Ding, you can spend 30 Acting Cool Points to redeem a Replacement Talisman to convert the two cups of wine!" the system responded.

"Give me one, and also search for some poison that can control other people's life and death!"

Xu Que's mouth suddenly rose, and he redeemed the "Replacement Talisman" without hesitation.

At the same time, the system interface in front of him flashed, listing several types of Gu poison, one of which tempted Xu Que!

【Three Corpses Soul-Devouring Pill】:

This pill can be controlled by the host's thoughts. When someone takes it, the host can melt the pill shell with one thought, summon the Soul-Devouring Worm in the pill, and instantly take the life of the person who took the pill! (This pill is only effective against those below the Infant Transformation Stage Perfection. Except for the host, no one can solve it!)

Price: 50 Acting Cool Points!

"This Ji Wanqing is about to die, yet she still wants to play tricks. Then I will play with you properly. You like poisoning, right? Fine, let you see what is called poison! System, give me two of these Three Corpses Soul-Devouring Pills."

"Whoosh!"

With a flash of white light, several things appeared in Xu Que's system package.

He quickly pinched out the "Replacement Talisman," and with a move of his divine sense, he swapped the poisonous wine in his hand with the one in Princess Yan Yang's hand without anyone knowing!

Afterwards, he specifically asked the system to check it again, and the wine in his hand was indeed non-poisonous!

"Xu Que, are you still afraid that this Palace will poison you? Drink it or not is up to you, but this Palace will drink first, and from now on, we will have nothing to do with each other!"

Seeing Xu Que holding the wine and not drinking it for a long time, Princess Yan Yang seemed a bit anxious. After saying this, she raised the wine pot, sent it to her mouth, and drank it down.

This action was very sexy, but Xu Que didn't appreciate it. His mouth rose, and he also picked up the wine pot and drank it.

A wisp of Hundred Flowers Brew entered his mouth, the pure wine fragrance permeated, and it surged down his throat, which was very comfortable!

Seeing Xu Que drink the wine, Princess Yan Yang finally showed a hint of relief in her brows, wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth with her slender hand, and a smile appeared on her cold face.

"Xu Que, it seems you are just so-so, still as naive as before!" she smiled lightly.

Xu Que pretended not to understand, frowned and said: "What do you mean by this?"

"Princess..." At this time, Zi Xuan walked over, with a hint of worry on her face. She glanced at Xu Que, with reluctance and pity in her eyes, and even some apologies!

Princess Yan Yang looked at Xu Que coldly, and smiled fearlessly: "Xu Que, this Palace should really thank you for solving those assassins of the Heavenly Fiend for us. Although I don't know what kind of fortune you obtained in these few short months, not only can you re-cultivate, but you have also raised your strength to such a terrifying level. But now, all of this of yours is about to be reduced to nothing again!"

"Is that so? I don't think so." Xu Que smiled playfully, not caring at all.

Princess Yan Yang narrowed her eyes, as if she had restored her usual arrogance of being high above, and sneered coldly: "Back then, Father Emperor killed you once, and now this Palace can still kill you. Do you know what kind of wine this Palace gave you to drink just now?"

Xu Que blinked: "I know, Heavenly Heart Yin-Yang Wine!"
