Chapter 1459: Chapter 760: Strange Woman (3)
Chapter 760
A Night without Words
The next day, when Mo Jiuli and Yun woke up, the woman outside had a pitch-dark complexion, sitting on the ground in defeat and staring at Mo Jiuli as she came out of the tent: “I’ve lost, I can’t neutralize your poison!”
“Don’t worry, you won’t die; the natural poison will resolve itself in a month. You just have to make sure that you’re not eaten by the Forest Demon Beast within this month!” Mo Jiuli said indifferently after glancing at the other party.
“Aren’t you going to give me an antidote?” the woman asked incredulously.
“Antidote? Why should I give you an antidote? Do you think you have anything that could persuade me to give it to you?” Mo Jiuli said calmly.
“What do you want?” the woman hesitated and asked.
“Heh heh… I can’t think of anything I want. If you can’t offer anything in exchange for an antidote, then just wait here for a month!” Mo Jiuli laughed.
“You… don’t go too far…” the woman said angrily.
“Are you sick in the head, woman? Our master saved you, took you to a safe place, and yet you pester us time and time again, even daring to poison us. Now you say our master is overboard, are you sure your mind’s not ill?” Before Mo Jiuli could speak, Yun roared in anger.
“I… I just want to know who you are. I have no ill intentions; I have my reasons…” The woman sighed softly upon hearing this.
“Talk about your reasons then. Why do you need to know who we are?” Mo Jiuli raised an eyebrow and asked.
She wasn’t actually interested in the woman’s background, but the way the woman suddenly appeared before them last night piqued her curiosity.
Upon hearing this, the woman looked at Mo Jiuli, then at Yun, and around at the surroundings, before hesitating for a moment and taking out a pearl from her ring and crushing it…
Instantly, Mo Jiuli, Yun, and the woman were enveloped in a Transparent Barrier, only then did the woman begin to speak: “This is an isolating barrier, so that our conversation won’t be heard by anything in the external world…”
“Before my parents and grandfather died, they told me to find the best practitioner of Poisoning Technique in the Haotian Continent, and that this person would be the one I should follow. At the restaurant that day, others may have thought that you gouged out the eyes of Divine Doctor Sect’s Young Master, but I saw clearly that it was the work of poison, and I didn’t even see how you administered it. I’ve been traveling alone on the Haotian Continent for hundreds of years, and you’re the first person whose Poisoning Technique I can’t decipher. Later, when you took me with you, my poison had no effect on you, yet you could poison me. Since I was born, I’ve never encountered this before. My parents said I was a born Poison Master, but I couldn’t poison you, nor could I neutralize your poison, so I want to know who you are, whether you are the one I’m looking for…”
The woman said earnestly while looking at Mo Jiuli.
Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuli slightly smiled and said: “In this vast world, there are countless wonders; there are surely thousands, if not hundreds, of people more skilled in Poisoning Technique than I. Just practice more, and naturally, you can surpass others…”
“Impossible, I live by poison, yet I’m still inferior to your Poisoning Technique!” the woman exclaimed.
“Heh heh… live by poison? With your body condition, you’re as weak as an ordinary person for almost half a year; are you sure you have that much time to practice poisoning?” Mo Jiuli looked at her and commented.
“You… how do you know that? Heh heh… Your Poisoning Technique really is formidable!” the woman said with a mix of shock and self-derision.
