Chapter 2466

Ouyang Tianyun’s face showed a trace of regret. Of course, she felt sorry for Li Guangbi and Ying Xian. These two had offended the wrong person—Zhu Yanyi. Now, before they even formally fought, they were already suffering.

Ouyang Tianyun did not consider himself a good person, so he naturally would not plead for them.

"Leave them out for another day and night, just like last time," Yan Aohan said calmly. He had little desire to deal with demons of questionable character. In fact, he particularly despised such demons.

In Yan Aohan’s heart, the principle was simple. Whether one was a demon cultivator or an immortal cultivator, as long as they lived peacefully and did not cause trouble, he considered them decent. However, those who sought trouble for Zhu Yanyi were, in his eyes, bad people.

He knew Zhu Yanyi would not suffer losses, but to Yan Aohan, anyone who troubled Zhu Yanyi was troubling him. It did not matter if the person was a demon, a human, or held high status. He, Yan Aohan, would not even acknowledge such people.

A day and night passed quickly for those who were happy, but for Li Guangbi and Ying Xian, who had to endure the cold outside, it was extremely unpleasant.

The next day, Zhu Yanyi did not appear. She only ordered Ouyang Tianyun to throw them out.

Ouyang Tianyun did not look at Ying Xian. her gaze was fixed on Li Guangbi. "Li Guangbi, you are a famous medical cultivator. Last time you caused trouble for my junior sister, she let you go. I didn’t expect you to come again. I won’t say much more. You should know our family’s rules. Remember to follow them in the future." With that, she left.

Ying Xian frowned slightly and looked back at Li Guangbi. "What are their family rules?"

"Their rule is that you must greet them upon entering. Only if they agree can you enter. If they disagree, entering triggers an array formation." When Li Guangbi mentioned the word "array," he glanced at Ying Xian.

Ying Xian was slightly stunned, then nodded. "In that case, we will greet them when we go over tomorrow."

Li Guangbi was surprised. "Go directly tomorrow?"

"What else?" Ying Xian seemed calmer now. "We have to face each other eventually. It is better to do it sooner rather than later. There is no need to hide."

Hearing Ying Xian say this, Li Guangbi had no objections. She actually hoped Zhu Yanyi would be defeated.

Zhu Yanyi did not care about Li Guangbi’s thoughts. When Ying Xian brought Li Guangbi over, she observed Ying Xian, while Ying Xian observed her.

Zhu Yanyi looked at Ying Xian. Although she was handsome, her standard triangular eyes ruined her overall beauty, adding a touch of gloom.

Actually, all demons were good-looking. Among them, plant demons were even more beautiful. Plant demon cultivators naturally had better appearances than ordinary demons, making them truly very handsome.

"Ying Xian, I have heard much about you," Zhu Yanyi said calmly.

"Zhu Yanyi, your name is also well-known," Ying Xian replied, the tension thickening immediately.

Zhu Yanyi remained calm. "State your purpose."

"A poison contest," Ying Xian said directly. "Li Guangbi told me your poisons are powerful. I want to compete with you in poison."

"So you are here to challenge me?" Zhu Yanyi asked, looking at Ying Xian.

Ying Xian nodded without denying it. "Yes. I never believe anyone’s poison skills can surpass mine."

Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "Whether you surpass me or not is hard to say. But if we use poison, who do you plan to use as the target? Li Guangbi?"

"How could it be me?" Li Guangbi immediately avoided the topic. She had already suffered the pain of Zhu Yanyi’s poison, so she naturally refused.

Seeing this, Ying Xian frowned slightly and turned to Zhu Yanyi. "You have two people there."

"I am sorry. My family never participates in such boring bets. I will certainly not use them for experiments. Since you are challenging, I will set the rules. Either you or Li Guangbi will be the test subject, or you leave." Zhu Yanyi showed no mercy. Since they dared to challenge, the method had to be one she approved.

Ying Xian looked at Zhu Yanyi, then at Li Guangbi beside her. "Then let it be her."

"Doctor Ying," Li Guangbi’s face turned ugly.

Ying Xian frowned. "Do you not trust my poison skills?"

"No, no, no. How could I not trust you?" Li Guangbi did not dare to say he didn’t trust her. If he did, he feared he would not see tomorrow’s sun. But being a test subject, he was truly unwilling.

Ying Xian said gloomily, "Since you trust me, being a test subject is fine. Don’t worry, you won’t die."

Ying Xian was very confident in her poison skills. She then said to Zhu Yanyi, "Shall we both test poison on her?"

"Simple enough," Zhu Yanyi smiled. "We will refine poison on the spot. After refining, she will test it immediately. The other person will then try to detoxify. Whoever takes longer to detoxify loses. That is simple. How about it?"

Ying Xian thought about it. This method was not bad, and since it was a contest, detoxification was necessary. "Then let it be so. Let us refine poison first."

Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. With a wave of her hand, a table appeared in front of each of them. She wiped the table, and various poison ingredients appeared—both plant and animal poisons, a dazzling array. "Each person prepares their own refining materials. I suppose you don’t need to worry about the other cheating."

Ying Xian knew this was indeed fair, so he also wiped the table in front of him, and a batch of poison ingredients appeared.

Zhu Yanyi did not look at Ying Xian. She simply clenched her hand, and a blue flame appeared in her palm.

"Ice-Fire Blue Flame," Ying Xian said, greed flashing in his eyes upon seeing the flame. This was a special fire, one suitable only for plant demons. "How about we add a bet to our poison test? If you lose, this Ice-Fire Blue Flame will be mine."

Zhu Yanyi laughed loudly. "What is the Ice-Fire Blue Flame? Others may not know, but you certainly do. Only a fool would bet the Ice-Fire Blue Flame with you. Besides, can you offer something of equal value? Ying Xian, do you think I am a fool?"

Ying Xian frowned, looking at Zhu Yanyi with a particularly gloomy expression. "Do you know who I am? What will be the consequence of offending me?"

"I don’t care who you are. Either compete in poison refining, or get lost. I, Zhu Yanyi, have no time for nonsense." Zhu Yanyi rejected her coldly and directly.
