Capítulo 1468: Chapter 308: Shot
What’s going on?! Why is she poisoned?!
An Yiqing was filled with doubt. Since childhood, her body had been soaked in medicinal baths by her master, Ye Chenghong, making her immune to all poisons. Even if some rare poisons could affect her, with her ability to sense poisons, how could she not feel herself being poisoned?
No matter how An Yiqing thought about it, something felt off. The air was filled with a subtle scent of dried grass, a smell she was very familiar with—a peculiar scent of Soft Muscle Powder. But, although this drug was odd, it couldn’t possibly go unnoticed by her!
At which point did something go wrong? Why was she unable to resist this poison?!
The banquet hall, once lively with clinking glasses, seemed to have been paused by someone. People lay scattered across the floor—guests attending the birthday party, members of the Nan Family, even servers and maids. Everyone looked extremely pale, with terror and fear in their eyes.
“Old Master Nan, are you still able to move?” An Yiqing, with great effort, shifted her body and looked towards the weakened Old Master Nan lying on the ground.
Perhaps due to his profound cultivation, although Old Master Nan was poisoned, he could still barely move. He slowly got up, straining to rest his upper body against the sofa, a simple action that left him drenched in sweat.
“Not dead yet! This old body can hold on a little longer!” Old Master Nan weakly gasped for air. “Who dared to poison people on my Nan Family’s territory with such audacity!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of men dressed in black forcefully entered through the banquet hall’s doors, their submachine guns constantly drawing everyone’s eyes.
“Who, who are you? What do you want? Let me out! Let me out!”
“Don’t you know who we are? Take me home! Now!”
Dozens of men in black said nothing, not even sparing a glance at the shouting guests. They entered in an orderly fashion, quickly surrounding the interior of the banquet hall.
At this moment, a man wearing a black evening suit and a half-black mask elegantly stepped into the banquet hall.
“Patriarch Nan, I’ve always admired your reputation, and today we finally meet!”
Old Master Nan sat leaning against the sofa, his Inner Breath circulating rapidly as he tried to use his Vital energy to detoxify. Upon hearing the masked man’s question, he said nothing, merely glaring at him coldly.
“It seems Patriarch Nan harbors some hostility toward me, but that’s fine. Please allow me to introduce myself.” The masked man bowed gracefully, his eyes beneath the mask revealing a chilling smile. “I am Liu Bai, here under my master’s orders, specially attending Miss Nantian’s birthday party to convey my master’s most sincere greetings to Patriarch Nan.”
Liu Bai? What a strange name!
Slumped in the corner, An Yiqing remained silent. Her position was very concealed, allowing her to see everything happening in the hall through the sofa’s gaps, but Liu Bai seemed oblivious to her presence.
An Yiqing still couldn’t move, even struggling to lift her head. While she could concoct an antidote for the Soft Muscle Powder, her current immobility made it impossible to be effective, even if she entered the Ancient Space.
As she rapidly devised a solution in her mind, her right-hand pinky suddenly felt a bit itchy.
“Boss, what’s going on? I was just out for a moment, and now everyone is lying on the floor?”
An Yiqing glanced down, spotting Fatty Mao Er sitting on the floor, brushing her right hand with its fluffy tail.
That’s right! How could she forget this little creature?! Earlier, she brought it to the party; Fatty Mao Er found the house stifling and insisted on playing in the garden. Seeing no dangerous individuals among today’s guests, An Yiqing let it roam free.
She didn’t expect that this would actually let the little creature escape harm!
“Mao Mao, I’m poisoned.” An Yiqing communicated with Fatty Mao Er through her consciousness.
A certain dumb cat immediately bristled upon hearing this, its blue eyes narrowing into slits, revealing its sharp little claws: “Damn! Who’s so bold to poison my boss?! Is it those men? Boss, hold on; I’ll go kill them now!”
