91: Honey, why are you in such a hurry to leave?
Tang Lan was quite confident in her own strength.
This was specifically targeted at Martial Artists; let alone a mere Xiantian Realm, even a Grandmaster wouldn't be able to withstand her poison.
"Fine, you said it yourself. I—I want you to swear an oath. Otherwise, when the time comes and you go back on your word, who am I supposed to talk to?" Duan Zhengchun said.
"Fine, seeing as you're about to die, I'll grant you this wish." Tang Lan finished speaking and immediately began to swear the oath.
After swearing the oath, Tang Lan shook her head with a look of helplessness, turned around, and prepared to leave.
But just as she was about to depart, Duan Zhengchun, who had been on the ground with a pained expression looking as if he were dying, suddenly stood up.
This change instantly sent a wave of panic through Tang Lan; Duan Zhengchun had been faking it all along.
She was about to struggle, only to find that she couldn't break free from the other's restraint at all.
"Wife, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
Hearing Duan Zhengchun's voice, Tang Lan's expression changed drastically, and she whipped around.
However, she forgot that she was still in Duan Zhengchun's embrace.
Turning around like this caused the two of them to be face-to-face, their noses almost touching.
The two were now less than ten centimeters apart, and they could clearly feel each other's breath.
The strong masculine scent caused Tang Lan's mind to go blank for a moment. Her eyes widened, revealing a look of disbelief.
Looking at the alluring red lips right in front of him, how could Duan Zhengchun hold back?
"Mmm..."
Tang Lan hadn't expected Duan Zhengchun to be so bold as to actually dare to kiss her.
Heavens, this was her first kiss! Before this, let alone a first kiss, no man had ever dared to get this close to her.
Neither her father nor her brother dared to get so close.
Duan Zhengchun was truly a fellow with guts born of lust.
This also left her mind blank, and she didn't react for a moment until she was almost out of breath, at which point she suddenly snapped to her senses.
Tang Lan instinctively bit down.
"Hiss..."
"Ow, Little Lan, why did you bite me?" Duan Zhengchun let go of Tang Lan in pain.
"You bastard, how could you do this?" As Tang Lan spoke, her pretty face was flushed red, and her large eyes were brimming with tears as if they might fall at any moment.
"Sorry, you're just too beautiful, and I couldn't help myself."
"It's mainly because you're too beautiful, Little Lan. I lost control for a moment."
"I have to say, it was really sweet," Duan Zhengchun said with a rogue-like smile.
"You... bastard, I've never seen someone as shameless as you," Tang Lan said irritably.
"Yeah, I didn't kiss your face, did I?" Duan Zhengchun said with a smirk.
"You..."
Tang Lan was choked up by Duan Zhengchun's shamelessness; she had never seen such a thick-skinned person.
"What about me? Is there something wrong with kissing my own wife?" Duan Zhengchun said with a laugh.
"What did you say? Since when did I become your wife?" Tang Lan said coldly.
"Little Lan, you really are a busy person with a short memory. You've forgotten what you just said so quickly?" Duan Zhengchun looked at Tang Lan with a teasing expression.
Hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, Tang Lan's expression shifted.
She looked at Duan Zhengchun in disbelief, sizing him up from head to toe.
At this moment, where was there even a trace of Duan Zhengchun being poisoned?
At this instant, how could Tang Lan not understand? She had been tricked.
Duan Zhengchun hadn't been poisoned at all just now; it was all an act.
The goal was to get her to say those words. This guy knew from the start that she would use poison, so he had played along with her act to trap her.
"Bastard, you—you actually played me! You weren't poisoned from the beginning, were you?" Tang Lan's face was flushed red as she glared at Duan Zhengchun huffily.
"Of course. I know your information so well, how could I not know that you're a poison Master?"
"In front of a poison Master, how could I not have any precautions?" Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
Hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, Tang Lan's face instantly turned pale.
It turned out that from beginning to end, the person with the misplaced confidence wasn't Duan Zhengchun, but herself.
How could she not have realized? If the opponent knew her situation and still dared to appear before her so blatantly, how could he not have any precautions?
She lost. This time she had lost, and she had lost completely.
Not just in terms of intelligence, but even her strength was crushed by the opponent.
"How exactly did you neutralize my poison?"
"Even a Grandmaster couldn't withstand my poison, let alone you, who are only in the Xiantian Realm?" Tang Lan looked at Duan Zhengchun in disbelief.
However, Duan Zhengchun didn't speak; he just looked at Tang Lan with a smile.
Seeing Duan Zhengchun's smile, Tang Lan suddenly thought of something and stared at him in utter shock.
"Could it be that you aren't Innate, but a Grandmaster? But even a Grandmaster shouldn't be able to withstand the poison I used."
"Only I have the antidote to this poison; it's impossible for it to have no effect at all." Tang Lan shook her head.
"Who told you I was a Grandmaster?" Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
"You're not a Grandmaster? Then it's even more impossible. Without the antidote, a Grandmaster couldn't possibly withstand the poison I used."
"Wait, could it be... impossible, absolutely impossible. How old are you? How could you have reached that Realm?"
"Even in the Nine Provinces, those who can reach that Realm are few and far between."
"How could a profligate prince like you reach that Realm?" Tang Lan said in shock.
"Nothing is impossible in this world. Just because you don't know about it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
"The world is vast, and there is no lack of wonders. Could it be that this Prince cannot be that one-in-a-million Genius?" Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
"So you're saying you really are a Great Grandmaster?" Tang Lan looked at Duan Zhengchun in shock.
"Haven't you already verified it? What else is there to doubt?" Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
Upon receiving Duan Zhengchun's answer, Tang Lan felt her head buzz, and her mind went blank.
Duan Zhengchun is a Great Grandmaster? How is this possible?
According to the information she had gathered, hadn't Duan Zhengchun always been just a second-rate expert, barely squeezing into the first-rate expert rank by relying on the One Yang Finger technique?
He couldn't even reach Innate; how could he be a Great Grandmaster?
If you said you were a Grandmaster, it would be more believable. How could you be a Great Grandmaster?
But if he wasn't a Great Grandmaster, how could he be immune to her poison?
She knew very well what such a young Great Grandmaster represented.
It meant that as long as he didn't die, he could definitely become a Land Immortal.
A Land Immortal—that was the pinnacle existence of the Nine Provinces.
Who would have thought that the small Dali Duan Clan's profligate prince, in the eyes of others, was actually a one-in-a-million peerless Genius?
He had reached the level of Great Grandmaster at the age of twenty.
