Chapter 435: Chapter 437: Siblings Reunite (Part 4)
As he took the elixir, he was gradually recovering his Qi, which barely sustained his ability to fight…
“Hehe.”
A chuckle came from ahead, causing Huang He’s expression to change, “May I ask what is amusing the young master?”
“What I find amusing…” Mu Ruyue’s lips curved upwards, “is that you are oblivious to your impending death.”
“What did you say?” Huang He’s pale face instantly grew grim as he asked in a cold voice.
Looking unruffled, Mu Ruyue gazed at Huang He, “Haven’t you noticed a faint pain in your chest? I’ve poisoned you when you weren’t paying attention. If you want the antidote, hand over the treasure book.”
“You…”
Anger surged in Huang He’s eyes as he followed Mu Ruyue’s instructions and felt pain indeed gnawing at his chest—an unmistakable sign of the poison taking effect.
“What have you decided? Will it be the treasure book, or your life?” Mu Ruyue asked with a mild smile, her calm voice igniting an urge within Huang He to crush this woman to death.
Life or treasure book?
The answer was obvious…
“Fine, the treasure book is yours!”
Huang He bit down on his teeth in resentment.
The treasure book had originally fallen into a village, acquired by a villager, and after discovering it accidentally, he had massacred that village to obtain the treasure book.
He had thought that would silence people, but he didn’t anticipate leaving one survivor, which had led to such a prolonged pursuit…
As the treasure book was thrown in front of her, Mu Ruyue’s eyebrows raised, and she unapologetically took it before immediately producing an elixir, saying, “Here’s your antidote.”
What poison? It was just a ruse by Mu Ruyue; he had merely suffered angina, unaware of it himself.
And what she gave him was just a common tonic…
It wasn’t until she was a hundred meters away that Mu Ruyue still heard an angry voice behind her.
“Poison King Bai Yufeng, you must be Poison King Bai Yufeng. Once I heal from my injuries, I will surely not let you off!”
Only Poison King Bai Yufeng was skilled in poisons. Ordinary Alchemy Masters disdained to refine such elixirs, and besides, only someone of his strength could have poisoned him.
Bai Yufeng?
Mu Ruyue paused for a moment, feeling sympathy for the person she had inadvertently implicated. There was no helping it; she lacked the strength to defeat the old man and had to conceal her identity in his presence…
“That old man will need quite some time to recover. I should see what this treasure book is all about while I have the chance.”
Mu Ruyue lifted her bamboo hat and carelessly tossed it into the bushes nearby.
She opened her palm, and there, the treasure book appeared in her hand.
“Puppet Treasure Book?” Mu Ruyue exclaimed in surprise and began to flip through the pages, “This book is for refining puppets? Not only can it refine puppets that can be upgraded by utilizing external objects, but it can also turn living beings like humans or Demon Beasts into puppets to be commanded. I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing. It seems this trip to the Demon Beast Mountain wasn’t in vain.”
Mu Ruyue closed the book, a faint smile appearing on her face. If she could refine an army of puppets, then the power at her disposal would surely increase significantly.
With such an addition, facing Zi Feng again would give her a much better chance…
On the spacious Mountain, a luxurious carriage approached from the distance, closing in from behind. As it passed beside Mu Ruyue, a strange scent drifted into her nostrils…
