The cell door creaked as it was pushed open.
A woman walked in.
Dressed in plain clothes, she wore a black outfit and a thin scarf that hid her face, but her graceful figure and the pair of beautiful eyes she revealed were captivating.
Yang Su stared straight at the woman.
"You... you are..."
Yang Su gulped secretly.
"Speak, what is your purpose in coming to Purple Cloud City? Young Master Tu has already fled back to his country. You’d better confess honestly, and I might consider sparing you."
The woman’s breath was like orchids as she leaned down to whisper softly in Yang Su’s ear.
"You are Empress Feng... Empress, save . It was because I listened to Young Master Tu that I poisoned."
Yang Su was overjoyed. He had only been trying to contact Empress Feng’s people, never expecting the Empress herself to co.
"You used poppy in the Longevity Peach Buns. I almost fell for your trick, and you gave your Spiritual Longevity Peach Buns to the Empress Dowager. Yet you dare claim you’re innocent. Your wife and daughters are in my hands. I kill if I want to kill. Sadly, it’s your wife and daughters who are truly innocent."
Empress Feng’s words made Yang Su’s heart sink.
Clearly, this Empress Feng was soone not easy to deal with.
It was apparent that the Empress herself wasn’t poisoned by the poppy.
Yang Su thought, seeking Empress Feng’s help, hoping she would lend him a hand on behalf of Young Master Tu. But now, it seed like he was rely trading one danger for another.
"Empress, I beg you to spare my wife and daughters. I’ve told you everything. I’m telling the truth. Young Master Tu instructed to co to Purple Cloud City and infiltrate the Spirit Food World of Purple Cloud City."
To save his wife and daughter’s lives, Yang Su had no choice but to confess everything.
"Dragon Bait? You’re saying there’s Dragon Bait in Purple Cloud City?"
After hearing this, Empress Feng’s eyes sparked with a hint of delight.
This might be the only good news she had received recently.
"The information Young Master Tu received said so, claiming that years ago, a Spiritual Cuisine Master in Longteng Country had a recipe for Dragon Bait. That person should be in Purple Cloud City, and that recipe should also be in Purple Cloud City. Young Master Tu figured that since the person was a Spiritual Cuisine Master, the Spirit Food Association must have clues. He let try to infiltrate the Spirit Food Association of Zixiao and further control the Spirit Food Association. Originally, I was about to complete Young Master Tu’s task, but then Xin Lin appeared out of nowhere."
ntioning Xin Lin, Yang Su couldn’t help but grind his teeth in frustration.
If it weren’t for Xin Lin, he wouldn’t have beco a prisoner.
"So, you have no actual clues about Dragon Bait in your hands. In that case, what bargaining chip do you have to make spare your life?
Empress Feng scoffed lightly.
She had also heard that skilled Spiritual Delicacy Masters could create top-tier spiritual foods coveted by even the Xuan Spirit Beasts.
She was currently looking for the whereabouts of the True Dragon.
Recently, rumors abounded that the True Dragon had awakened and the Dragon Vein had appeared.
As long as she had Dragon Bait, finding the True Dragon would not be difficult.
Empress Feng’s focus shifted from the location of the True Dragon to the Dragon Bait.
Clearly, other countries, including Young Master Tu, thought the sa, which is why they went to great lengths to co to Longteng Country for the celebration.
But unfortunately, no one knew exactly where the Dragon Bait was.
"Your Majesty, I have a clue. I suspect that the Dragon Bait may very well be in the hands of Xin Lin at Chu’s Restaurant!"
Just as Empress Feng grew disappointed, Yang Su spoke again.
~Only one week left, is everyone ready?~
