The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 97 The Mysterious Prince Nan

Yun Shimo suddenly opened his eyes, staring coldly at that head before his eyes. A tinge of cruelty was upon his lips. "So it's you, one of the four secret guards of the capital, Chongxiao. Aren't you a lackey of the Empress?"

Yun Shimo was narrowing his profound eyes somewhat. He did not seem poisoned, even though the toxic fume had already reached his arm.

Chongxiao sneered wantonly. "Yun Shimo, I didn't expect you, the famous Prince Nan, to end up in my hands. Ha ha ha... even if both of you die here today, the Emperor will not suspect me!"

Yun Shimo stared coldly at him. He was suppressing the dissipating toxic fume with his Spiritual Qi.

"The Emperor is also under my illusion... hee hee hee. He thinks that I stay behind Empress Liu all the time. He won't suspect anything. Don't waste your Spiritual Qi, Yun Shimo. This is the world's most lethal poison. Shui Qianruo had it concocted specially for you. Even if you die, even if you deplete all your Spiritual Qi, you won't be able to force it out of your body!" Chongxiao was thoroughly pleased with himself. He glanced at Hua Qiyue lying on the ground.

Hua Qiyue had the looks of a goddess. Although her face was somewhat pale, her breathing was still quite steady.

"That's strange. Shui Qianruo's poison will not only cause hallucinations, it can also cause death. Hua Qiyue's really extraordinary. She isn't dead despite having been so lethally poisoned!" Cold glimmers flashed across Chongxiao's eyes.

"This woman deserves death! She made the Empress so unhappy!"

"Of course, the Empress was your former lover. I wonder if His Majesty knows about your love for the Empress?" Yun Shimo snickered coldly. "Chongxiao, I'll spare you because you have saved Bingyi once. Scram at once! Otherwise, I shall be merciless!"

A strong animosity flashed across Yun Shimo's cold eyes.

With his murderous intent evident, Yun Shimo's stare made Chongxiao start. He was a little stunned. He always thought that Yun Shimo was not meddlesome. Even if he meddled into another person's affair, he was just a somewhat powerful Alchemist.

However, Chongxiao now sensed powerful Spiritual Qi emanating from Yun Shimo's body!

If he wasn't trying to suppress the toxic fume, Yun Shimo could have easily slain him!

"Ha ha ha... Yun Shimo, I know your Qi Art cultivation is high! But you're now poisoned. Your powers are not as they once were. You want me dead? Trying to act tough in front of me? You think I'm a three-year-old kid?" Chongxiao smirked coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

He would not fear Yun Shimo now. He stretched out his hand. A pretty dagger was in his grasp.

That dagger was made out of white bone--the bone of a high-level Qi Artist. It reeked with grievance, assisting its murderous air!

The white bone dagger scintillated with an icy glitter. Chongxiao did not wish to waste any more time on Yun Shimo. He stabbed at Yun Shimo with a disdainful, loud guffaw...

Chongxiao sensed that Yun Shimo's Spiritual Qi had been almost completely suppressed by the toxic fume. He had no way to extricate himself and ward him off!

In other words, this one move would surely kill Yun Shimo!

Chongxiao laughed with unbridled cheer. But he felt waves of powerful force breaking his dagger into half!

Chongxiao was greatly astounded. He focused his sight. Yun Shimo had caught the falling dagger with lightning-fast reflexes. Crush! In a flash, he had crumbled the dagger into dust!

Chongxiao was stunned like a fossil. That dagger took him two years to forge. Every night, he would feed it with a drop of blood to nurture its evil. Never had anyone managed to break it. Nor could anything make it go blunt!

But right now, Yun Shimo had crumbled the dagger into dust!

"Aren't... aren't you poisoned?" Chongxiao cried in shock, his eyes full of horror and fury!

"How dare you break my demonic dagger! Yun Shimo, I will surely make you die!" As he roared out these words in great fear, Chongxiao extended his arm. A powerful halo appeared on his palm.

Although Yun Shimo was badly poisoned, his smile was still as nonchalant as before. He unclenched his hand. The dust in his palm began to swell into a massive, awe-inspiring blue light!

The dust had turned into a weapon, colliding brutally with the aggressive lightning ball hit out by Chongxiao. Boom! An explosion resulted in a huge cavity where Chongxiao was!

Earth and dust overturned. The dense, oppressive air only settled after some time. Chongxiao was no longer present at that spot.

From underground came Chongxiao's furious growl. "Yun Shimo! I will remember you!"

The voice became softer and softer. Finally, there was a complete hush. Yun Shimo snorted coldly, his profound eyes still gleaming with cold light. A cunning smile appeared on his face.

He extended the middle finger of his right hand and tapped at the center of his left palm. Instantly, it drew out a wisp of black fume.

The darkness on his face gradually dissipated. It had been directed rapidly to the palm of his left hand and out.

Soon, Yun Shimo had expelled all the poison.

It was just a game by him to draw Chongxiao into action. Even though Shui Qianruo was the world's greatest poisoner, his poison could not harm him.

Hallucinating drug had no effect on him either. Yun Shimo slowly shifted his gaze to Hua Qiyue on the side. She looked fast asleep, the pallor of her ashen face turning into a reddish blush.

Yun Shimo frowned. What next? Should he dress her properly? Or let her lie on the ground and await her recovery?

While dear Mr. Yun Shimo was facing a dilemma, Tianpi had already pulled Hua Qiyue's Spirit into the Mysterious World.

Hua Qiyue rubbed her eyes. Seeing her handsome Master in front of her, she had to make sure she wasn't hallucinating.

"Hey, Master, why am I here?"

Tianpi was so infuriated that his countenance turned black. He had taken the initiative to draw Hua Qiyue's Spirit into the Mysterious World and had expended so much Spiritual Qi. He did not even had the energy to stand. Of course, he could not show off his masculine qualities in front of his beautiful disciple.

"Why are you here... just look at yourself... "

Tianpi snorted coldly. He wanted to knock this woman's head to make her wake up.

Hua Qiyue looked at her body. Although it was her Spiritual body, it was identical to her physical body. Her attire was completely disheveled, as if she had been molested.

Instantly, anger arose in her heart. She shrieked. "What happened... what... "

She remembered the moment just before she lost consciousness... Yun Shimo's bellow. His voice was full of rage and fear...

Fear? What could make Yun Shimo fear? Had... had she thrown herself into Yun Shimo's arms and knocked him down? Hua Qiyue had to shiver.

"What happened? Don't you know?"

"No, I had no consciousness at that moment. I only heard Yun Shimo's voice!"

Hua Qiyue cried out furiously, "Shui Qianruo, you are a disgusting poisoner. One day, I shall make you wish that you're dead!"

Tianpi sat there quietly. Hua Qiyue surveyed her surroundings. She frowned. "Master, did you drag me in here by force?"

"How could I wake you up if I didn't? You nitwit! Can't you come in if you have no consciousness? Must you deliberately stripped yourself naked in front of Yun Shimo?" Tianpi became angry again on mentioning this incident.

Hua Qiyue was so shocked that her face turned crimson and white by turns. "What... what are you saying? I was stripping myself in front of Yun Shimo?"

Tianpi snorted. Hua Qiyue's ears began to hum. Although she had been someone's wife in her former life, she remembered nothing about amorous affairs. She had been ravished after being drugged on her wedding night. After conceiving and giving birth to Tianci, Zhou Zhicheng had not touched her.

When Hua Qiyue realized that she had been poisoned by Shui Qianruo's hallucinatory poison, she became enraged and hateful. Although Long Red could counteract many kinds of poison, it did not work against some hallucinatory poisons. A hallucinatory poison wasn't a real poison.

Hua Qiyue sauntered under the banyan tree, her countenance black. Tianpi sat where he was with a cold face. The two did not speak.

"I have to go. My Spirit cannot arrange my attire!" After a few rounds, Hua Qiyue finally remarked anxiously. She was so furious that she forgot she had been sauntering before Tianpi's eyes in a disheveled state.

Tianpi snorted coldly, a lovely flush suffusing his pale face.

"That Prince Nan is indeed very mysterious. He ought to have suffered from a poison no one could counteract for over 10,000 years. But he managed to neutralize it." Tianpi said suddenly, his face turning extremely solemn. "Yun Shimo is no ordinary man. You must be careful."

"I knew this long ago. Well, I forgot to tell you. A few days ago, while I was having my meal with Tianci at Prince Nan's mansion, I heard bizarre weepings coming suddenly out from a high tower there. It didn't sound like a man or a woman... Prince Nan and his followers left soon after. It looked like something serious had happened." Hua Qiyue thought for a while and realized that she must mention to Tianpi this incident.

"You serious? Looks like I have to probe the place with my secret arts... unfortunately, I... " Tianpi frowned. So long as he remained in this world, his power would be cut down by half.

Of course, he needed Hua Qiyue's help to leave.

Hua Qiyue suddenly remembered that Yun Shimo was still outside. She hurriedly returned to her physical body. When she opened her eyes, she gazed into Yun Shimo's bright, star-like eyes. The light in the cave wasn't very bright. The complex expression on Prince Nan's face was hazy yet very interesting.

Hua Qiyue had never seen such awkwardness on Yun Shimo's face.

He was hesitating, a little sheepish, a little shy. His thick, manly brows contorted like a caterpillar.

Yun Shimo used to be always brutal or cold. In other words, he always wore a poker face.

The Yun Shimo right now was so approachable. He no longer resembled a man untainted by earthly conventions. Compared to his previous self, Hua Qiyue found the present Yun Shimo to be more adorable and amusing.

When he saw Hua Qiyue awake, Yun Shimo blushed and turned his fossilized gaze away from Hua Qiyue's body. He looked alarmed and flummoxed. "Your clothes... it wasn't me who had disarranged your clothes before you passed out. You wanted to strip but I couldn't... "

Yun Shimo was rambling incoherently. Hua Qiyue said vexatiously, "Yes, yes, I know what happened. And I don't blame you. Damn that Shui Qianruo!"

Hua Qiyue quickly sat up. They were a man and a woman, alone. She was quite embarrassed, her face flushing like dreamy, colorful clouds. And her heart was thumping.

Hua Qiyue rearranged her clothes and tidied herself. She felt quite weak and was secretly alarmed. She did not know Shui Qianruo was really something. After she awoke, all her spiritual energy had been drained away by the hallucinatory poison.
