Except for Feng Cheng, everyone else was full of envy. Having a brave black panther was one thing for Bai Ruozhu, but having such an intelligent rabbit as well—how could she be so lucky?
The Tuttu Cat slowly approached the enemies ahead through the grass. It must be said, with its completely black body and even black eyes, it was truly inconspicuous hiding in the grass.
When it reached the right position, it turned its head to look at Bai Ruozhu, who extended a hand from behind a tree and gave it a thumbs-up.
Tutu imdiately understood, tore open a paper bag with its front paws, and the drug powder instantly dispersed into the air.
Then it quickly ran back, standing up in front of Bai Ruozhu, looking ready for so praise.
Bai Ruozhu smiled and patted its head, saying, "Go keep Dengdeng company. I’ll reward you with a few pieces of fruit later."
Tutu got cheerful, its front paws folded like a bow, and stood up to salute Bai Ruozhu, who then sent it back into Space.
Before leaving, its black round eyes curved into crescent moons, and its three-part mouth curved upwards—it was smiling.
"Did you all see that? The rabbit smiled!" Si Yihuan exclaid in surprise, her eyes full of admiration.
Bai Ruozhu laughed, "It knows how to give thanks; of course, it can smile."
"That’s amazing." Si Yihuan’s eyes shone brightly, clearly in love with it. Bai Zepei looked at his little woman’s expression, knowing she liked it. He thought perhaps he should also get a little animal for her as a pet.
However, ordinary little animals weren’t anything special. The rabbit belonged to Bai Ruozhu’s nephew, and he wouldn’t covet it. If his little sister could find another spiritual little animal, that would be great.
"Not good, soone released poison! Everyone hold your breath and adjust your breathing!" shouted the leading expert from a distance before sitting down cross-legged and tapping a few points on his own body.
Soon, many people followed him to hold their breath, but those of lesser strength were already poisoned and fainted.
Bai Ruozhu frowned, "That person is indeed formidable, to detect the poison so quickly."
She knew her own poison best; even an expert like Lü didn’t notice it so swiftly.
"Don’t worry." Feng Cheng’s gentle voice sounded.
Bai Ruozhu felt more assured but also embarrassed, managing only a perfunctory reply.
"Get ready." Jiang Yichun said coldly; he didn’t seem angry, but his mood wasn’t good either.
Bai Ruozhu felt more awkward and quickly focused her mind, rushing forward.
Bai Zepei and Si Yihuan also followed. Bai Ruozhu originally intended for them to stay at the back but feared they might be ambushed. If they needed to escape, it would be easier for them to fall behind. So she arranged for them to et Fo Lanying directly.
"So it is you, courting death!" yelled the leading expert as he drew his sword and charged at Bai Ruozhu. Feng Cheng imdiately stepped forward to intercept him.
On the carriage, Fo Lanying showed an excited expression and climbed down from the carriage, only to hurt her leg wound and grimaced in pain.
"Lan Ying, are you okay?" Si Yihuan went over to steady her.
"I’m fine, I didn’t suffer too much," Fo Lanying joyfully said, "You ca really fast!"
While Feng Cheng engaged the leading expert in combat, others who weren’t poisoned attacked Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun. The two of them quickly brought down their assailants.
"No need to take their lives," Bai Ruozhu thought for a mont. These people were rely rcenaries and not inherently evil. Nonetheless, she couldn’t just let them go; she wasn’t a saint, and what if they tried to hunt them down again in a few days?
So...
Bai Ruozhu considered, took out a porcelain bottle, and scattered so drug powder.
"I won’t kill you, but you’ll be unable to use inner strength for a month. So don’t annoy again, or I won’t be so patient next ti." Bai Ruozhu shouted.
"Go to hell, you Demon Woman!" one of the guards shouted angrily.
As he said that, he saw a shadow flash, and Jiang Yichun fiercely kicked him to the ground.
"My wife is not soone you can curse. If you want to die, I’ll grant your wish now!" Jiang Yichun said coldly.
Bai Ruozhu grinned wickedly, "Choose now: die imdiately or be unable to use inner strength for a month? Anyone else dissatisfied, speak up!"
For a mont, everyone fell silent, until the leading expert let out a muffled grunt and was hurled away harshly.
"Leader..."
"Watch out!"
Several guards cried out in concern, but they couldn’t help at all.
Feng Cheng turned his hand into a palm strike aid at the leader’s head.
"Don’t kill him!" ca Fo Lanying’s voice suddenly. She limped over, "Don’t kill him. He’s Quanrong, and he’s treated pretty well these past few days. Consider it a favor returned by ."
Bai Ruozhu saw her eyes flickering and speculated she was hiding sothing.
"Not killing him is fine, but he has to take the poison." Bai Ruozhu said.
Such experts could not be subdued by ordinary poison powder; it needed to be ingested.
"You dare!" the leader glared at Bai Ruozhu fiercely, defiant to the end, but Fo Lanying had already agreed for him, "Fine, let’s do that."
Bai Ruozhu took out a pill, and Jiang Yichun went over, forcefully opened his mouth, threw the pill inside, then tapped his throat, making the pill slip into his stomach.
"Alright, let’s go." Bai Ruozhu went over to help support Fo Lanying.
"Bai Ruozhu, release the young master, and I promise not to pursue you further." the leader said with a sigh. He was truly aggrieved this ti. How could Bai Ruozhu have such experts on her side? The moves they used were strange; he hadn’t even heard of such people in River Jiang.
Bai Ruozhu looked at him, "I’m not interested in killing him. Isn’t it better to let him go back and fight Zhou Shibin to the death? Don’t worry, we will treat him well and release him in a few days."
Only then did the leader feel satisfied as he closed his eyes, not wanting to say more.
The group continued their journey, and Bai Ruozhu turned to look at the poisoned people with pride in her heart. This poison she learned from the "Poison Classic" was effective right from its first use, giving her a sense of achievent.
When dusk fell, and they found a place to rest overnight, Bai Ruozhu seized the opportunity to question Fo Lanying.
"Why plead for him? It’s not as simple as you said, is it?"
Fo Lanying’s expression changed, appearing a bit awkward and uneasy.
The others didn’t want to stare at her, so they pretended not to pay attention. After a while, she suddenly spoke.
"He recognized at first sight because I look much like my mother," Fo Lanying said glumly, "He knows about my mother and the Quanrong Clan Leader. He called the Grand Princess and claid to be my mother’s senior brother."
"Wasn’t your mother a Jiuli? Didn’t she learn arts within the clan?" Bai Ruozhu asked, puzzled.
