Chapter 3031

Yan Xiwan smiled faintly. "We can discuss this when we get home."

This was not her territory. It was better to talk later. Walls had ears.

Pan Hongmei realized her mistake. She quickly changed the subject. "Come, let’s eat. The food will get cold."

No one refused. They were there to eat.

"The food at Meiwu Restaurant is truly good," Pan Hongmei said as they left.

Yan Xiwan smiled. "Good taste draws people. Plus, the location is prime. No wonder it is so crowded."

She did not say more, but Ouyang Tianyun understood.

"Let’s walk home slowly," Ouyang Tianyun said. He would not speak openly here. Evil cultivators were terrifying. If one escaped, it would cause endless trouble.

They walked slowly until they reached their courtyard.

"I will make tea. Let’s chat," Yan Xiwan suggested with a smile.

"Good. We will wait in the yard," Ouyang Tianyun replied. The yard was beautiful day and night. At night, special glowing stones made it bright as day.

Yan Xiwan returned quickly with tea. "I brought some candied fruits too. We have plenty of time tonight."

"What do you think of Meiwu Restaurant?" she asked. Now that they were home, they could speak freely.

"I saw no evil cultivators there," Pan Hongmei said.

Lu Fang shook his head. "The manager seemed strange. What a coincidence that he passed by and heard us."

"Maybe it was just luck," Pan Hongmei mused. She still felt confused.

Yan Xiwan smiled. "Senior Sister, coincidences are rare. Have you seen a manager so relaxed? Even if no customers come, a manager stays at the counter."

Pan Hongmei paused. "You are right. I never noticed that."

"Indeed. I have never seen such a leisurely manager," Lu Fang added.

"Not leisurely, but idle," Yan Xiwan corrected. "He appeared silently. Tianyun is at the Mahayana stage. He knows every living thing nearby. Yet he almost missed this manager. He is not a normal cultivator."

"So, a non-normal cultivator must be an evil cultivator," Pan Hongmei said seriously.

Yan Xiwan nodded. "I agree. Also, notice how popular Meiwu Restaurant is."

"The food tastes great," Pan Hongmei said.

"The taste is good, but they added something," Yan Xiwan said. She pointed a finger. A vine appeared. "Illusion Vine, also called Charm Grass. It makes food taste amazing. But after three servings, the user loses their mind."

"What? Are we safe?" Pan Hongmei asked urgently.

"You took my antidote pills. This herb is harmless to you." She took out a golden needle. "If you are worried, I can remove the Charm Grass from your body."

"Do it," Pan Hongmei said.

"Extend your hand," Yan Xiwan instructed.

Pan Hongmei extended her hand. Yan Xiwan pricked her middle finger, then squeezed gently. A green seed popped out and fell into a jade box Yan Xiwan had prepared.

"Done," Yan Xiwan said. She looked at Lu Fang. "Do you want me to do it?"

Lu Fang extended his hand. He trusted the antidote, but he did not want any risks.

Yan Xiwan removed a seed from him too.

Ouyang Tianyun also let her remove a seed. Then she asked, "If three servings cause madness, why do people in Four Seasons City seem normal?"

"Dan Hong Grass suppresses it," Yan Xiwan explained. "I noticed earlier that over half the people in Four Seasons City have Charm Grass in their bodies."

"Over half? That is terrifying," Pan Hongmei said.

Yan Xiwan nodded. "That is my worry. These evil cultivators have basically controlled Four Seasons City. I do not know the situation elsewhere."

"Is there a cure?" Ouyang Tianyun asked.

"My antidote is enhanced. It works. But I do not know how many pills to prepare," Yan Xiwan said helplessly.

Ouyang Tianyun said, "First, we retake Four Seasons City. For others in the cultivation world, each sect will check themselves. I will notify the Piaomiao Palace. They have been quiet for years. Many have forgotten their power. It is time to remind people of the need for vigilance."

She paused. "For the antidote ingredients, give me a list. I will have people prepare them."

"I have ingredients in my space," Yan Xiwan said.

"Those are yours, wife. Kindness is good, but not for free. People are lazy. If you give everything for free, they might resent you," Ouyang Tianyun advised wisely.

Yan Xiwan stuck out her tongue. She understood, but had forgotten. "I will give you the list tomorrow."

Ouyang Tianyun nodded. "But how do we make people take the antidote?"

Yan Xiwan raised an eyebrow. "It is not hard. Just make it rain."

Rain is rare in the cultivation world. It requires the Immortal Emperor’s permission.

Ouyang Tianyun said, "I will tell my adoptive father." The Immortal Emperor would need to act.

Yan Xiwan said, "Now we must discuss how to deal with Meiwu Restaurant."

"Make some antidote pills first. I will ask my adoptive father to mix them into the rain. After everyone is cured, we will deal with Meiwu Restaurant," Ouyang Tianyun said. He had a plan. Since Meiwu Restaurant controlled many lives, they must cure the poison first before settling scores.
