53: Chapter 53: Is there still any grape juice like this? It's a bit intoxicating.

In the Class F lobby, the air had congealed like aged glue.

On one side were the elites of Class A rolling on the floor, and Lu Xingye was still embedded in the wall, smoking.

On the other side was the seductive, yandere poison-healer Senior Ji Youyou, holding a cup of lethal venom.

Jiang You, at the center of the storm, was currently standing on a table, clutching two broken bench legs. His gaze wasn't on Senior Ji Youyou's devastatingly beautiful face; instead, he looked past her, staring intensely at the cup of liquid in her hand that was bubbling with eerie purple foam.

"Gulp."

Jiang You's Adam's apple bobbed.

That home run just now felt great, but it was physically exhausting. Plus, having eaten so many melon seeds earlier, his throat was so dry it felt like it was smoking.

"Um... Senior?"

Jiang You tucked the bench legs under his armpits and jumped off the table.

His flip-flops crunched against the broken glass shards, making a "crunch, crunch" sound as he walked straight up to Senior Ji Youyou.

Senior Ji Youyou's hazy eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on her lips became increasingly dangerous.

The liquid in her hand was the [Purple Fiend Soul-Breaking Soup], concocted by refining forty-nine types of highly toxic magical plants and mixing them with the venom of a five-step snake.

Not to mention drinking it, even a Tier 3 warrior would immediately foam at the mouth and suffer nerve paralysis just from taking a whiff.

She was waiting.

Waiting for this ignorant junior to show a look of terror and then beg for mercy on his knees.

However.

Jiang You leaned close to the cup, twitched his nose, and a look of confusion appeared on his face:

"Is this... a new variety of grape juice?"

"Why is it bubbling? Did you add soda water?"

"Um... even though we just met and it's a bit embarrassing, I'm really thirsty."

Jiang You pointed at the cup with a sincere expression: "Can you give this to me? I've seen you holding it for a while without drinking it; it's such a waste."

Senior Ji Youyou was stunned.

Beside her, Su Nuonuo stopped cleaning her gun.

The abacus in Gou Fugui's hand stopped clicking.

Even Class Monitor Zhao Feilong, who hadn't managed to run away yet, widened his eyes, looking at Jiang You as if he were a madman.

That's freaking poison!

Purple!

Smoking!

You call that grape juice?

"Heh..."

Senior Ji Youyou let out a soft laugh, a flash of madness flickering in her eyes.

She didn't pull her hand back; instead, she pushed the cup forward, her voice seductively sweet:

"Of course you can."

"This is a... welcome gift that your Senior specially prepared for you."

"You must... drink it all, okay?"

"Alright! Thank you, Senior! Senior is so generous!"

Jiang You didn't hesitate at all; he was even a bit impatient.

He took the cup, tilted his head back, and opened his mouth.

"Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug—"

He finished it in one breath.

Because he drank too quickly, a drop of purple liquid even ran down the corner of his mouth. He casually wiped it away with the back of his hand and then instinctively licked his finger.

"Haa—"

Jiang You handed the empty cup back and let out a purple burp.

"Burp~"

The whole room was deathly silent.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the moment Jiang You would collapse, convulse, and bleed from his seven orifices.

Class Monitor Zhao Feilong even covered his eyes, not daring to look at the impending tragedy.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Jiang You smacked his lips, his brows slightly furrowed as if he were savoring the taste.

Senior Ji Youyou's fingers clenched tightly, her eyes locked onto Jiang You's throat.

Is it taking effect? Is it starting?

Jiang You finally spoke.

He looked at Senior Ji Youyou with a serious expression and gave an honest evaluation:

"Senior, this grape juice of yours... weren't the grapes washed properly?"

"It's a bit astringent, and there's a muddy, fishy taste."

"Also, it's a bit spicy on the throat. Is it made using the ginger milk curd method?"

"But it's got quite a kick. After drinking it, my whole body feels warm, and the aches and pains I had earlier have improved quite a bit."

Jiang You licked his lips, still wanting more, his eyes full of anticipation:

"Um... is there any more? Can I have a refill? It's better with ice; room temperature is a bit cloying."

"..."

Senior Ji Youyou's permanent ice-beauty expression finally showed a crack.

Her originally lazy eyes were now wider than Su Nuonuo's.

She looked at the empty cup, then at Jiang You, who was rosy-cheeked and even wanted another glass.

Her worldview collapsed.

That was enough to poison an elephant!

He drank it like a beverage?

And complained about the taste?

And wanted ice?

[Internal Chat Group (Rejoicing)]

[stomach (Bubbling wildly)]:

"Woohoo!! So good!!"

"What kind of heavenly drink is this! It's spicy, numbing, and refreshing!"

"The energy density here is much higher than Erguotou! My stomach lining feels like it's burning! I haven't had a sauna like this in ages!"

"Although it's a bit corrosive, it's just like eating hot pot; the spicier it is, the more you want to eat it!"

[liver (Adjusting glasses, entering berserk overtime mode)]:

"Warning! High concentration of neurotoxins detected!"

"Brothers! We've got work to do! Break it down! Convert it! This is a highly nourishing energy fluid!"

"Strip away the toxicity and store it, then send all the remaining energy to the Kidneys!"

[Kidneys (Letting out a greedy laugh)]:

"Hehehe... coming to this new school was the right choice!"

"Where is this poison? This is clearly a potent all-powerful nourishing soup!"

"Give us more! Give us more! I want to train my Kidneys to be indestructible!"

In reality.

Jiang You didn't know that his internal organs were having a carnival party.

He only felt that after drinking this "grape juice," his whole body felt comfortable, and even the fatigue from earlier was swept away.

Senior Ji Youyou took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently.

She suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiang You's wrist.

Jiang You suddenly felt a cold, smooth sensation, accompanied by a pleasant herbal scent.

"You... are you really okay?"

Senior Ji Youyou's voice was no longer lazy; instead, it carried a hint of trembling and... undisguised excitement.

Jiang You was a bit confused by being grabbed and scratched his head:

"I'm fine, I just feel like burping."

"Senior, are you reluctant to part with it? It's okay, if it's expensive, I won't drink it. I'm not greedy for alcohol."

"No! It's not expensive!"

The light in Senior Ji Youyou's eyes grew brighter; it was the fanaticism of a scientist seeing a perfect experimental subject.

She leaned close to Jiang You suddenly, her beautiful face almost pressing against his, her breath fragrant like an orchid:

"From now on... Senior will make as much as you want to drink."

"As long as you... cooperate with me obediently."

"Hehehe..."

Jiang You shrank his neck.

This Senior... why is her laugh so creepy?

But since there's free juice to drink, it's not a loss.

"Alright, it's a deal then."

Just then.

An untimely noise came from the doorway.

Class Monitor Zhao Feilong, who had been huddled in the corner playing dead, was trying to inch his way out along the wall while everyone was in shock.

"Can't see me... can't see me..."

Class Monitor Zhao Feilong silently chanted in his heart.

Too scary!

This Class F is full of monsters!

That Jiang You is even more of a monster among monsters! He even dares to drink poison like water!

Must run!

Must go back and tell the Goddess that this place is a no-go!

However.

Just as one of his feet was about to cross the threshold.

A strong hand suddenly pressed down on his shoulder.

The palm was warm and powerful, yet it made Class Monitor Zhao Feilong feel as if he were being strangled by the throat of fate.

"Um... this classmate."

Jiang You's voice sounded in his ear, carrying a hint of confusion and dissatisfaction.

"Are you just leaving like this?"
