Upon hearing Yunzhi's words, Bai Yu's lips curled up. He put one arm around her slender waist and pinched her delicate cheek with the other.
"To be honest, I've never seen you before, but what's your reason for wanting to kill me? Tsk tsk, food, drinks, and aroma—a three-in-one poison."
"Your method of poisoning reminds me of that little vixen, Dugu Yan. It's exactly the same, bringing back so many memories!"
"However, that girl Dugu Yan used aphrodisiacs to enhance the experience, while your medicine is pure poison."
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, Yun Zhi, who was in his arms, pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into Bai Yu's heart.
Unfortunately, her strength was too weak. Even though Bai Yu didn't try to stop her, the dagger was still knocked away by the elemental power around him.
"You discovered it all along? Then why did you still drink and eat? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned and dying?"
"Hehe, that's right. You yourself said that you are very familiar with this mixed poison, so this poison is naturally not difficult for you."
"Kill me. Since I dared to assassinate you, I was already prepared to die."
Yunzhi stared blankly at the dagger that had been knocked away, then gave a bitter laugh, closed her eyes, and prepared to offer her neck for execution.
But after waiting for a long time, Bai Yu did not kill her. Instead, the hands that were originally holding her became more and more unrestrained.
Exploring the high mountains upwards and traversing the valleys downwards, her complexion grew increasingly rosy, and her breathing became rapid.
Finally, Yunzhi couldn't hold back any longer. She opened her eyes and glared angrily at Bai Yu.
"Bastard, if you want to kill me, then kill me. Why humiliate me like this?"
Bai Yu's hands moved constantly, a relaxed smile on his face.
"Hehe, wouldn't it be a waste to just kill a beauty like you? Perfect, I haven't had any meat for over half a month, using you to cool off isn't a bad idea."
"Oh!"
Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Yun Zhi sneered and glanced at him with disdain, thinking to herself that all men in the world are the same, even the Holy Son of Spirit Hall who became a god in his previous life is no exception.
Then she closed her eyes again, without struggling, and leaned against Bai Yu's chest like a corpse.
When she decided to assassinate Bai Yu, she had already considered all the consequences. Although the current situation was somewhat unexpected, it was also within her expectations.
After all, having been in contact with nobles for so many years, what kind of tricks hasn't she heard of?
So what if she's a little older than Bai Yu? That's nothing compared to all the messy things she's heard about.
Moreover, she wasn't afraid of what Bai Yu might do to her, because she was going to die anyway, since the mixed poison that Bai Yu had been given would also be effective against her.
Regardless of whether the assassination attempt succeeded or failed, she had no intention of returning alive. Therefore, she refused to believe that Bai Yu could possibly have any thoughts about her corpse.
Time passed slowly, and she waited and waited, almost becoming dizzy from being touched by Bai Yu, but she still didn't die!
Then she sensed something was wrong. Her mixed poison was very potent. Even if it couldn't harm Bai Yu, it should be able to kill her.
When Yunzhi came to her senses, her eyes widened in fear as she looked at Bai Yu, and she began to struggle violently.
Bai Yu, however, did not stop her movements. He simply let go of her hands, allowing her to break free.
After Yunzhi broke free from Bai Yu's embrace, she quickly took a few steps back, leaned against the corner of the wall, and then took out a dagger from her soul tool, her hands trembling as she faced Bai Yu.
"What did you do to me? Why am I still alive?"
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, glanced at her with a smile, then poured himself a glass of wine and took a small sip.
"You haven't even explained your origins yet, how could I let you die so easily without knowing why?"
"Did you think I was just playing around just now? Actually, no. The mixed poison in your body was already neutralized by my Yin-Yang power."
"Also, put that little thing back in your hand. With that thing, you can't even kill yourself, let alone kill me."
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, Yun Zhi immediately swung her hand back and slashed the dagger in her hand towards her own neck.
"collapse!"
As expected, the dagger was deflected again, just as Bai Yu had said, she couldn't even commit suicide.
Yunzhi's eyes dimmed for a moment, her body leaning weakly against the corner of the wall, and she murmured:
"Heh, I really am useless. But Bai Yu, don't even think about getting any information from me."
"You want my body, don't you? Do as you please, but I hope you can give me a quick death afterwards."
Bai Yu blinked, looking at Yunzhi with some distress.
(TL: god I hate seeing that name we all know who this is but mc still hasn't figured it out yet for some reason so until she says it im just gonna keep it as is)
This woman disregarded everything else; she just wanted to kill him. To be honest, people like that are the most difficult to deal with!
Bai Yu tapped his fingers on the table, a thoughtful expression on his face.
He secretly wondered if he should just kill her without thinking. But then Bai Yu felt a little unwilling.
If he doesn't expose the forces behind her and retaliate fiercely, where will he put his face as the Holy Son of Spirit Hall?
Bai Yu then stopped tapping the table, his gaze sharpened, and he turned to look at Yun Zhi.
"Over the years, I, Bai Yu, haven't made many enemies. There aren't many in total. Let me think... back when I first left Spirit City, I razed an auction house and offended a few nobles."
"But they probably wouldn't dare to mess with me now, since I killed so many people back then, let alone now."
"Then there's the Star Luo Empire. Now that I'm representing Spirit Hall to help the Tian Dou Empire, those people from Star Luo should hate me to the core."
"It's not surprising at all that they sent someone to assassinate me."
"Finally, there's the Clear Sky Sect. Although it was Tang Laoqi who attacked me first, I did lead people to attack the mountain gate and killed many people from the Clear Sky Sect."
"So it's quite normal for the people from the Clear Sky Sect to come looking for revenge against me."
When Bai Yu said this, Yun Zhi's usually calm face suddenly twitched, but she still didn't say anything and quietly leaned against the corner of the wall.
But a glint flashed in Bai Yu's eyes; he had clearly seen Yun Zhi's unnatural expression just now.
When he talked about those nobles and Star Luo, Yunzhi didn't react at all, but when he mentioned Clear Sky Sect, she immediately changed.
Then Bai Yu reached out and flicked his wine glass, producing a crisp sound. He let out a soft chuckle and said in an icy tone:
"Heh, it really is the Clear Sky Sect. I didn't expect that even after they've become stray dogs, they still haven't given up their wicked intentions."
"It seems I was too merciful and didn't kill enough!"
"Do you really think scattering everywhere will save your life? I'll send a message to the Spirit Hall right now, and kill anyone who displays the Clear Sky Hammer on the continent! Let's see if we can wipe out the Clear Sky Sect."
