Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Du Xian'er (3)

Du Xian'er? The moment they heard this name, the faces of those who were just lost in the beauty of the white-clothed girl immediately changed dramatically, and Longze Jingtian felt even more shocked.

Legend has it that Du Xian'er was strikingly beautiful but ruthless and left no survivors in her wake. Some say she's the cherished darling of that old poisonous man in the Demon Domain, and she became famous in the Jianghu within three years of entering. Although not many people have seen her, those who have are all dead.

Unexpectedly, the rumored ruthless woman turned out to be a charming and attractive young girl.

Her body was wrapped in white silk, and her perfect, flawless jade-like feet lightly stepped on the grass. They were the size of a man's palm, making people wish to hold them in their hands.

This young girl looked pure and flawless, like a Fairy of the Forest, nowhere related to "poison"!

"Your subordinates are truly loyal!" The panic of this group of black-clothed men was already in the white-clothed girl's expectation. Ignoring them, she turned around and looked at Longze Jingtian.

So, this is King Jing, Longze Jingtian! They even had a marriage agreement. But seeing his embarrassed appearance, the white-clothed girl found it funny.

She had just mentioned this person to Su Mei moments ago, and when speaking of him, he appeared in such a surprising situation.

"They say that a master would teach their servants. It seems you aren't a bad person!"

Longze Jingtian had only seen the graceful figure of the white-clothed girl, but judging from the expressions of the other people, he was sure that she was a stunning beauty.

But now that he was actually facing her, Longze Jingtian found that describing her as a beautiful person wasn't quite enough; only "nation-destroying" would suffice.

A strange emotion suddenly enveloped Longze Jingtian's heart. Upon making eye contact with her, he clearly heard his heart thump even louder.

This girl, he must have her!

The white-clothed girl, unaware that she had been "chosen" by Longze Jingtian, handed him a pink pill.

"Such beautiful scenery was disturbed by them, which is truly annoying. This miss hasn't done anything for a long time, so my skills have probably become rusty. Longze Jingtian, how about we make a deal? If you give me money, I'll kill them."

"Alright!" The white-clothed girl's words were somewhat sudden, but Longze Jingtian nodded in agreement. Hearing her call his name in her voice was indeed as pleasant as he imagined.

Given their current situation, it would be difficult to escape from here unless reinforcements arrived promptly. Instead of pinning their hopes on the unknown, it's better to grasp the straw in front of them. Perhaps Du Xian'er is the lifesaver sent by heaven.

"A fixed price: five hundred thousand silver."

Surrounded by so many assassins, the girl simply ignored them and began bargaining on the spot, sending chills down the spines of those in black.

So many people in her mouth were like a small dish to bargain for. It seemed that in the eyes of the white-clothed girl, they were not terrifying assassins but merely a deal she was making.

"Deal." A milky-white dragon-shaped Jade Pendant flew out of Longze Jingtian's hand and landed in the white-clothed girl's palm. "This is my token. You can come to Jing Royal Mansion to collect money anytime."

"Decisive, I like it!"

The white-clothed girl neatly stored the jade pendant, with a smile growing on her face. At some point, a pair of gleaming gold bracelets appeared on her wrist, each with five thumb-sized pure gold bells.

"Soul-Stealing Bell? That old poisonous man actually passed this thing on to you?"

Extremely shocked, both Juesha and Meisha turned pale and their expressions changed drastically.

"Yeah! Dad said that there were two bastardly turtles who stole his poison book, betraying the Demon Domain to become an independent power. He told me that if I ever encounter them, I must help him clean up the mess. Unluckily for you, today is the day you run into my guns!"

The words of the white-clothed girl startled Meisha.

Twenty years ago, they were merely two disciples of the Demon Lord in the Demon Domain. While the Demon Lord was undergoing closed-door cultivation, they stole his poison book, poisoned their fellow disciples, and nearly caused the Demon Lord to go berserk. In the end, they destroyed more than half of the Demon Domain.

The two fled the Demon Domain and established the Wuji Palace. Although many years had passed, and the Demon Domain hadn't caused any trouble for the Wuji Palace, they were still very wary of the old poisonous man.

Unexpectedly, the old poisonous man had adopted a daughter and passed his unique skills to her.

"Brother, don't be afraid! Today, that old poisonous man is not here. We won't be deterred by this little girl!"

Juesha clenched her teeth to comfort Meisha. Although she said this, the cold sweat on her forehead kept falling, and she didn't even notice the fear the white-clothed girl brought her.

"Really?"

The smile on the white-clothed girl's face stopped, and the golden bells in her hand chimed.

Before anyone could see what was going on, ten golden threads spewed from the golden bells, dancing like ten golden snakes in her hand. Wherever the golden snake went, a sweet floral fragrance followed, and those cloaked in the fragrance collapsed to the ground, dead before they even had a chance to scream.

What a formidable poison! Longze Jingtian's eyes darkened.

In just a short moment, those who were just clamoring for Longze Jingtian's life had all fallen, their bodies gradually decomposing into water, and a faint floral scent filled the air.

"Just like that, they're gone?"

The scene before his eyes left Lu Yuan dumbfounded. Those ferocious assassins in the hands of the white-clothed girl seemed as powerless as fish waiting to be slaughtered. What kind of situation was this?

"Heh..." Lu Yuan's somewhat foolish comment amused the white-clothed girl, causing her to chuckle lightly.

"Take your master and leave quickly! If you see me again in the future, keep your distance! Remember to take the antidote. Next time, you won't be so lucky!"

Without waiting for Lu Yuan to understand, the white-clothed girl leaped up, stepping on tree branches and flitting away like a butterfly, leaving their sight.

"What a remarkable lightness skill!" As Longze Jingtian's voice fell, he felt a suffocation in his chest, and a stream of black blood rushed to his lips, which he spat out with a "puff."

"My Lord!" Lu Yuan then remembered the pill given by the white-clothed girl. Could it be the antidote? But this medicine had an unknown origin; how could it be given to Lord for consumption?
