Chapter 952: Her Agony



Chapter 952: Her Agony

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Watching the Essence Cultivating Pill in Ye Leng’an’s hand, Zhongyu Lingshan’s eyes betrayed her inner struggle. Eventually, she reached out and accepted the pill from Ye Leng’an. With determination, she gritted her teeth and swallowed the pill.

The potent fragrance filled her mouth, confirming that it was indeed a high-quality pill. Normally, she would appreciate such a find, but now, she felt nothing of the sort. She was gambling with her life, betting that Ye Leng’an’s words were mere deception.

In truth, she had poisoned the wine, just as Ye Leng’an had said, with the deadly Five Days of Slumber. Yet, she never expected Ye Leng’an to discern her actions.

Initially, she had no intention of harming Ye Leng’an today. However, Ye Leng’an’s repeated disrespect disregarded her status. Moreover, Ye Leng’an’s death would only benefit her further, leading to her sudden decision to poison her.

However, she didn’t anticipate Ye Leng’an’s awareness of her actions, let alone the revelation of her poison’s true nature. She had never heard of the combination of the Essence Cultivating Pill and the Five Days of Slumber creating a deadlier toxin.

Uncertain if Ye Leng’an spoke the truth or simply played her, she had no choice but to take the pill. Refusal would only confirm her guilt, inviting further enmity. Moreover, she doubted the pill’s efficacy.

Determined to prove her innocence, she resolved to return to the Hidden World and obtain the antidote for the Five Days of Slumber.

Zhongyu Lingshan’s bold move dispelled all doubts but also highlighted Ye Leng’an’s aggressiveness.

“Ye Leng’an, you see now!” Zhongyu Liuying’s voice was cold. “Lingshan followed your instructions. Are you satisfied? I can’t fathom what Ruiling sees in you. You’re malicious, even framing Lingshan now. I’ve never seen such cruelty in a girl like you.”

“And haven’t you seen it now?” Ye Leng’an shrugged, unfazed. She turned to Zhongyu Lingshan, smiling. Glancing at the clock, she remarked, “Miss Zhongyu, feel nothing unusual yet? I’ve said it. The combination of Five Days of Slumber and the Essence Cultivating Pill is a potent poison! Obtaining an antidote won’t be easy. Even if you return to the Hidden World, you may not find one!”

As Ye Leng’an spoke, Zhongyu Lingshan suddenly felt intense stomach pain, unlike any other. It felt as though her insides were being scorched. Despite her efforts, the pain intensified.

Zhongyu Lingshan paled, sweat beading on her forehead like soybeans. Her miserable state shocked onlookers, who couldn’t comprehend the sudden change.

After minutes of agony, the pain subsided slightly, allowing her to catch her breath. Uncertain if it would return, she struggled to remain standing.

“Ye Leng’an, what have you done?” Zhongyu Lingshan’s voice trembled weakly. She knew Ye Leng’an was responsible for her suffering.

“I did nothing,” Ye Leng’an replied calmly. “Just now, didn’t I make it clear? But you said you didn’t put the Five Days of Slumber in the wine, didn’t you? So after taking the Essence Cultivating Pill, you should be fine!”

Zhongyu Lingshan probably thought that everything Ye Leng’an had just said was a lie, so she dared to take the pill like this. Everyone had to bear the consequences of their choices, and the reason why Zhongyu Lingshan acted like this was also because she harbored malicious intentions from the beginning.

“This can’t be.” Zhongyu Lingshan murmured weakly, “No one ever mentioned the combination causing a new poison.”

Suddenly, as if something occurred to her, Zhongyu Lingshan raised her head abruptly and looked at Ye Leng’an, her eyes flashing with resentment. “It’s you, Ye Leng’an. You tampered with the Essence Cultivating Pill just now, didn’t you?”

“Don’t falsely accuse me!” Ye Leng’an grinned, her expression carrying a hint of innocence. “Everything I said just now was true. If you’re really poisoned now, it means that you really put the Five Days of Slumber in the wine!”

With these words, Zhongyu Lingshan was at a loss for how to refute.

However, before she had any time to think, the familiar pain struck her again. For a moment, she almost couldn’t stand up, only managing to support herself with her hands on the table to prevent herself from becoming even more embarrassed.

Seeing this scene, everyone present understood. It turned out that everything Ye Leng’an had said just now was true. Zhongyu Lingshan had indeed poisoned the wine, which was why she had become like this.

Witnessing her agony, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying shared a worried glance. Because, regardless of what Zhongyu Lingshan had done, she was still the legitimate daughter of the Hidden World’s Zhongyu family. Now that she was in trouble here, they were also implicated.
