41: One, two, so inexplicable!

“Shi Rou, your Bloodline is the Myriad Domain Ice Silence Scorpion, an extremely rare Mid-Rank Emperor Bloodline, and you also possess the Bloodline Divine Ability, ‘Ice Devil Underworld Scorpion Intestine’.”

“Bloodline Divine Ability is an atavistic phenomenon that occurs when a Bloodline reaches its peak, with an extremely rare probability of appearance. Using this Divine Ability has no consumption whatsoever.”

“That ‘Ice Devil Underworld Scorpion Intestine’ is a highly potent Divine Ability, capable of at least tenfold increasing the power of the poisons you use.”

Hearing Jiang Lin’s patient explanation, Xia Shirou exclaimed, “Ah, will that make my husband get poisoned?”

Jiang Lin affectionately flicked her nose, smiling, “No, I possess a Serpent Heart, and we are a perfect match, a snake and scorpion heart. Are you afraid?”

Facing snakes and scorpions, girls are all filled with fear.

Xia Shirou was no exception.

She instinctively burrowed into Jiang Lin’s embrace, stubbornly saying, “Not afraid! As long as I’m with my husband, I’ll like it!”

Jiang Lin continued, “Snakes and scorpions are among the Four Great Poisonous Insects, so it’s best for our Bloodline to cultivate the Poison path. It can also maximize the effect of the Ice Devil Underworld Scorpion Intestine. Are you willing?”

Xia Shirou didn’t hesitate at all, directly saying, “If my husband says it’s good, then it’s the best!”

Hearing this, Jiang Lin felt a little embarrassed.

This girl trusted him too much.

However, what he said was indeed the truth.

Compared to the Ice Dao, the Poison path was indeed more suitable for the current Xia Shirou.

“Alright, since that’s the case, I shall teach you the ‘Grand Antiquity Poison Scripture’!”

As soon as these words were uttered, Lin Qingxue next door was stunned.

Is this kid crazy?

That’s an Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique; you just take it out like that?

Do you know how much effort Jiang Zhiyi spent for this Cultivation Technique back then?

And you just share it with a concubine?

Do you understand how important the confidentiality of a Cultivation Technique is?

One day, you will definitely die at a woman’s hands!

Before Lin Qingxue could react, Jiang Lin began to explain the ‘Grand Antiquity Poison Scripture’.

“Speaking of which, shouldn’t I avoid this Cultivation Technique…”

Just as Lin Qingxue was about to go out for a stroll, the next moment, Jiang Lin’s eloquent words, combining profound and simple concepts, made her eyes light up.

The ‘Grand Antiquity Poison Scripture’ is a peerless classic for entering the Dao through poison.

The higher her cultivation, the more Lin Qingxue understood that all Cultivation Techniques, without exception, were ultimately aimed at the Dao.

Jiang Lin had already completely comprehended the ‘Grand Antiquity Poison Scripture’, and naturally, he had touched the edge of the Poison path.

The Poison path is also a Dao!

The accomplished are teachers; in terms of Cultivation Technique comprehension, Lin Qingxue was far… far inferior to Jiang Lin.

Each extremely simple sentence resonated profoundly in her ears.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted Jiang Lin’s lecture.

A murderous intent suddenly flared in Lin Qingxue’s eyes.

Who dares to obstruct my comprehension of the Dao?

“Young Master, the Penglai Banquet you requested is ready. You may dine now!”

Outside the door, Jiang Liu said softly.

“It’s already dusk! My good Shi Rou, get ready. I’ll take you to a grand meal!”

“Eat well to replenish your energy. Tonight, your husband will take you for some good ‘Body Tempering’…”

At this moment, Lin Qingxue also realized that the sun had already set.

Daylight was gone?

It truly felt like an eternity!

Unexpectedly, this child Jiang Lin’s insights into the Poison path were so terrifying.

A single conversation had actually elevated her understanding of the Dao by a notch.

Rumor had it that his ‘Grand Antiquity Poison Scripture’ had reached Major Achievement.

Now, it seemed to be true beyond doubt!

At this moment, Jiang Lin’s image in her heart quietly changed.

Changing someone’s attitude isn’t about being excessively good to them.

Instead, it’s about suddenly doing something that far exceeds their comprehension, striking directly at their Soul!

Thump, thump, thump!

At this moment, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

“Elder Lin, would you like to eat together?”

Jiang Lin’s voice sounded, and Lin Qingxue, uncharacteristically, felt no aversion.

This enlightenment, she owed him a favor!

If there was a chance in the future, she would do a good deed for the Jiang Family!

Outside the door, Jiang Lin withdrew his hand and, taking Xia Shirou, prepared to go to the side room for dinner.

He knew that Lin Qingxue disliked him greatly—no, she looked down on him greatly and would never eat with him.

His invitation was merely a polite gesture.

After all, the other party was a Senior from Dao Heaven Sect invited by Jiang Zhiyi.

He might as well try to gain some favorability if possible!

After all, his upcoming plans in Dao Heaven Sect would require her support.

Just as he was about to leave, the door actually opened, and Lin Qingxue walked out, radiating Immortal Qi.

“Why are you spacing out? Aren’t we eating?”

Jiang Lin pinched himself, confirming he wasn’t dreaming.

Aren’t you the impartial, unfeeling “Fiery Yama King”?

Don’t you look down on me greatly?

Why are you coming with me?

I was just being polite!

Now that you’re here, I can’t relax!

How am I going to flirt with little Shi Rou later…

Walking along the path to the side room, with Lin Qingxue, a peerless expert, present, everyone’s behavior was very restrained.

Lin Qingxue, however, was indifferent, and for the first time, she actively scrutinized Jiang Lin.

His facial features were as handsome as if carved by a knife, his figure tall and slender, appearing extremely noble and elegant under the set off of his perfectly fitting brocade robes.

What a young man of peerless beauty.

For the first time, Lin Qingxue genuinely acknowledged a man’s appearance from the bottom of her heart.

“Turns out I’ve been looking at him through a filter all this time, completely overlooking that this young man possessed such a countenance!”

While she was still sighing in her heart, a voice suddenly came to her ears.

“Young Master, Yao’er is late. Please punish me!”

Shangguan Yaoyao arrived, presenting the image of a delicate young lady, somewhat similar to her appearance at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion last time.

Lin Qingxue’s pupils constricted.

What powerful charm!

I can’t even see through the mist surrounding this woman!

Unexpectedly, this kid Jiang Lin has such good romantic luck!

Jiang Lin was also puzzled at this moment.

Why is she here?

Shouldn’t she be enjoying her leisure now that he’s gone?

Ever since Shangguan Yaoyao chose to stand by and watch at the Hua River bank last time, Jiang Lin knew that she was definitely not wholeheartedly devoted to him; she must have other motives.

He had originally planned to leave her hanging for a while, and after Xiao Dong’s Good Fortune as the Heavens buff disappeared, he would then use her to force Xiao Dong to unseal the nine heavens teleportation shuttle’s Blood Sacrifice.

He hadn’t expected her to follow him.

However, it didn’t seem to have much impact. This period of time was perfect for properly disciplining this cunning little fox.

“Oh, I understand. You can follow behind!”

Jiang Lin replied coldly, then turned and made a welcoming gesture to Lin Qingxue.

Seeing this, Shangguan Yaoyao reluctantly walked to the back of the group, gnashing her teeth in her heart, hating:

“Has he completely given up on me?”

“It seems I need to put in more effort to make this Devil Head change his mind!”

“Brother Xiao Dong, please don’t mind Yao’er’s lowly actions. I truly had no choice!”

Inside the private room, after the dishes had been served and tasted.

Jiang Lin raised his wine glass and spoke first, “Elder Lin, thank you for your protection along the way. I know you are busy with official duties, so please go attend to your important matters. I am relatively safe here, so I won’t waste your time!”

Lin Qingxue frowned.

Did he discover that I was eavesdropping on his lecture?

Is he trying to get rid of me?

He wouldn’t be that petty, would he?

No, our destination is both the Black Yuan Forest!

Even if we separate, it should be at the outskirts of the Black Yuan Forest.

He clearly doesn’t want to leave Black Yuan City; there’s definitely something going on here!

If it were yesterday, I would have turned and left without hesitation.

Sorry, little fellow, I’m sticking with you now!

I won’t leave until I’ve fully exploited you!

Having made up her mind, Lin Qingxue directly said, “That’s not for you to decide. I came here at Jiang Zhiyi’s request. When one takes money, one resolves problems for others. When you return, my mission will be complete!”

Jiang Lin was stunned.

What the heck?

In the original plot, as long as this woman found someone displeasing, rules? Their life or death had nothing to do with her!

Someone like him, in her eyes, wasn’t he just a stone in a latrine?

Shouldn’t she stay as far away as possible?

What nonsense about taking money to resolve problems!

This world is truly too strange!

One after another, so inexplicable!
