71: Chapter 71 Was Jiang You's body disposed of to cover up the crime?

Senior Ji Youyou's hand remained stiffly pressed against Jiang You's forehead, her entire being in a state of utter bewilderment.

Tape?

Tie him up?

Use him as an ice pack?

These three phrases combined dealt tons of mental damage to this femme fatale, who had always been known for her allure and ruthlessness.

She looked into Jiang You's pair of eyes—which were so sincere they were almost sparkling—and the killing intent and frustration intermingled in her heart, almost causing her to suffer a cultivation deviation on the spot.

"Are you... really not messing with me?"

Senior Ji Youyou gritted her back teeth and abruptly pulled her hand back.

"Messing with you?"

Jiang You looked blank, reached out to touch his own scorching forehead, and sighed regretfully. "Senior, you're just overthinking things. I just genuinely felt that you were cool and wanted to borrow some of that coolness."

"Since you're not willing to be an ice pack, then... is there any other way?"

As Jiang You spoke, he impatiently pulled at the collar of his pajamas, revealing a large expanse of flushed Skin, like an ant on a hot pan looking for an exit.

"I can't take it anymore. If I don't cool down soon, I'm going to be cooked."

Senior Ji Youyou took a deep breath, a flash of resolute ruthlessness appearing in her charming eyes.

Fine.

If you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, so be it.

Since my charm techniques are ineffective on a block of wood like you, don't blame me for being impolite!

She turned around abruptly, her skirt flying, bringing a gust of fragrant wind.

Senior Ji Youyou strode to the corner of the room, an area blocked by a pile of bottles and jars.

"Clatter—"

She yanked off a dust cover.

Revealing a giant wooden barrel, half a person tall, crafted from an unknown black wood.

The barrel was filled to the brim with a deep blue liquid, with nauseating purple bubbles floating on the surface, still "bubbling" as they popped.

A pungent, fishy-sweet smell instantly filled the air. Any droplet that splashed onto the floor tiles immediately emitted a sizzling corrosive sound.

This was the Myriad Poison Bone-Eroding Soup.

It was a lethal weapon Senior Ji Youyou used to practice her poison arts.

The toxicity within was so fierce that even an alloy thrown inside would melt into liquid!

"Want to cool down, right?"

Senior Ji Youyou pointed at the vat of deadly poison, a cruel and crazy smile curling at the corners of her lips:

"Then get in."

"This is a medicinal bath specially formulated by your Senior. Not only is it chillingly refreshing, but it will also... make you remember it forever."

"As long as you dare to jump in and soak for ten minutes, whatever you want in the future, your Senior will agree to it."

Jiang You followed the direction of her finger.

It was a large bathtub filled with dreamy, deep blue liquid!

The area around the bathtub was even emitting "cool air"!

"Wow!"

Jiang You's eyes instantly lit up like two lightbulbs, and he was so moved he almost knelt before Senior Ji Youyou:

"A private bathtub? And it even has bubble massage?"

"Senior! You are simply my second parent!"

"Then I won't be polite!"

Jiang You made quick work of it, "whoosh" stripping off those spongebob pajamas, leaving only a pair of boxer shorts printed with Patrick Star.

Senior Ji Youyou: "..."

There's more to this expert?

Then, in Senior Ji Youyou's terrified and sluggish gaze.

He took two steps for a running start, his Legs exerting force, performing a standard diving posture in the air—

"Splash!!!"

Water splashed everywhere!

Jiang You plunged directly into the Myriad Poison Bone-Eroding Soup that was potent enough to poison an elephant to death!

...

Outside the door.

"Splash!"

This huge sound of water hitting the surface reached the ears of the three eavesdroppers clearly.

The remains of the stethoscope in Gou Fugui's hand fell to the ground, his face ashen, and he slowly slid down against the wall:

"It's over..."

"It's all over."

"That was the sound of falling into the water... and the sizzling sound of liquid corroding the floor..."

"That idiot Jiang You... has he really been disposed of?"

Lu Xingye tightly covered his mouth, his eyes red. Although he was a love rival, it was a living, breathing life after all!

"Too tragic... too tragic..."

"One second they were flirting, the next second he turned into fertilizer..."

"Class F... truly is hell! I want to go home! I want to transfer!"

Xiang Batian tremblingly took out his notebook, drew a large black frame on the page for "Jiang You", his voice choked with sobs:

"Judging by the sound, the volume of the object entering the water is approximately 75 kilograms, and there was no sound of struggling."

"Hypothesis: Dissolved upon contact with water. Time of death: 0.1 seconds."

"Farewell, Brother Jiang. I will forever mourn your muscle data."

The three people outside the door were devastated, already discussing whether they could pick up a few bones to take back and set up a cenotaph.

...

However, inside the room.

There were none of the screams, torn flesh, or melting into blood that Senior Ji Youyou had expected.

On the contrary.

"Splash!"

Jiang You's head emerged from the deep blue poison, shaking the water droplets from his hair.

His Skin, while still red all over, was returning to a fair complexion at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Hoo..."

Jiang You wiped his face, letting out that extremely satisfied long sigh typical of a middle-aged man taking a bath:

"Ah~~~~~~"

"Comfortable! Refreshing!"

"This water temperature is amazing! This is simply the ultimate enjoyment after experiencing the extreme of ice and fire!"

As Jiang You spoke, he splashed around in the poisoned water like a happy duck.

He even reached out to scoop up a handful of the deadly liquid and rubbed it on his arm:

"But this bath salt... is it a bit too strong?"

"It feels a bit prickly on the Skin, like countless ants are biting."

"Senior, what brand is this bath salt? The exfoliating effect must be top-notch, right?"

Senior Ji Youyou stood by the barrel, petrified.

She watched with her own eyes as the poison, which could corrode steel, acted like it had encountered a black hole the moment it touched Jiang You's Skin, frantically drilling into his pores.

But it wasn't corrosion!

It was being absorbed!

[Internal Chat Group (Party Scene)]

[Skin (Feeling incredibly refreshed)]:

"Oh! Yes! That's the feeling!"

"Brothers! Dinner is served! It's buffet time!"

[Brain (Adjusted glasses, entered crazy overtime mode)]:

"Warning! Detected ultra-high concentration mixed toxins!"

"Complex ingredients: Five-step snake venom, Heartbreak Grass juice, Bone-Rotting Spirit Flower..."

"Good heavens! These are all precious medicinal materials! This is simply sending us supplements!"

"Decompose! Decompose it all for me! Convert it into Qi and blood energy!"

[Kidneys (Roared greedily)]:

"Mine! It's all mine!"

"This Yin energy is too pure! It's perfect for neutralizing the violent Yang energy from that dead monkey!"

"Yin and Yang in harmony! The Great Dao is simple! I want to evolve! I want to become stronger!"

In reality.

Following the frantic plundering by Jiang You's organs.

The Myriad Poison Bone-Eroding Soup, which was originally deep blue and emitting poisonous gas, was undergoing an astonishing change.

The color was fading.

The bubbles were disappearing.

The nauseating fishy smell was also rapidly dissipating.

In a mere three minutes.

Under Senior Ji Youyou's gaze, which looked as if she had seen a ghost.

That barrel of deadly poison, enough to take down the entire Class A, had actually turned into clear water, even carrying a faint hint of body fragrance!

"Gulp."

Senior Ji Youyou swallowed her saliva.

She looked at Jiang You, who was sitting in the barrel of clear water, his Skin having become translucent and fair like a newborn baby.

Her heart, which had originally only wanted to toy with him, beat violently at this moment.

It wasn't fear.

It was a near-perverted obsession and fanaticism, the kind a poison master feels when seeing a perfect body that has not appeared in eons.

"You are... perfect."
