"Is that true?"
Upon hearing the figure of ten billion, Su Qianqian's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked towards Li Yang.
Li Yang's expression was blank. He opened his arms, allowing her to search him.
As she approached and placed her hands near Li Yang's pockets, Li Yang suddenly grabbed her hand. A wisp of true qi emanated from his palm, pushing her back several steps.
She managed to steady herself, looking up at Li Yang in surprise and asking, "Li Yang, what do you mean? You dare to attack me when you're about to die. Aren't you afraid of death?"
"With your meager skill in using poison, you think you can kill me? You should look at your own palm."
Li Yang smiled indifferently, looking at Su Qianqian as if she were an idiot.
"What?"
Su Qianqian lowered her head to look at her palm and was shocked to find that the poison had entered her own palm.
She was the one who was poisoned now!
She looked at Li Yang in astonishment and said, "Impossible. This poison, once it enters the human body, it rapidly transforms and rushes to the heart, causing cardiac arrest. Even with true qi, you can't expel it. How did you do it?"
"Who told you I have true qi?"
Li Yang chuckled and shook his head, saying, "You can only blame yourself for not understanding me at all. You should focus on finding a way to detoxify yourself, otherwise, you'll be the one dying within two hours."
"Haha!"
Su Qianqian couldn't help but burst into laughter, ignoring Li Yang and saying, "So what if you returned the poison to me? Don't forget, the woman beside you is still poisoned. I have the antidote, so I can detoxify myself.
"But as for her, she'll be dead within two hours at most."
"Are you so sure the antidote is still on you?"
Li Yang found her naivety amusing. He smiled, took out the medicine from his person, and looked at Su Qianqian, saying, "I took the medicine from your pocket earlier. You're right, this medicine can only save one person.
"But that person happens to not be you."
"Li Yang, you scoundrel, give me back the medicine!"
Su Qianqian's heart sank. She finally realized that he had let her get close to him just to steal the antidote.
But as she lunged to snatch the medicine, the poison in her body had already reached her heart. Her mind went blank, and her steps became unsteady.
Li Yang turned to look at Bao Baoli. She was deeply poisoned, and her condition was no better than Su Qianqian's. He immediately took out the medicine and fed it to Bao Baoli.
He looked at Bao Baoli earnestly and asked, "Sister Bao, how are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"
"I'm much better, Li Yang. I thought I was going to die here right after becoming your woman. Thank you for saving me," Bao Baoli said with a smile.
"You're welcome. I said you'd be my woman from now on, so how could I let anything happen to you?"
Li Yang patted her head, comforted her, and then had the bodyguards help her to a side to rest.
Next, Li Yang turned to look at Su Qianqian, his expression cold, and said, "Su Qianqian, you never expected to fall into my trap, did you?
"Now that your body is poisoned, and the toxins have reached your heart, I don't think there's any hope. This is the consequence of your own actions.
"Li Yang, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go. Just you wait."
Su Qianqian knew she had no antidote. If she didn't hurry to find one, she would truly die.
Fortunately, the poison was given to her by her newly accepted master. As long as she found her master, she would be able to detoxify herself.
"Master, save, save me!"
After leaving the antique shop, Su Qianqian quickly ran to the roadside, got into a car, and said to a man in a black robe and a black mask inside,
"What's wrong? Did the poisoning fail? How did you get poisoned?" the man asked Su Qianqian in surprise.
"Your disciple is incompetent. That Li Yang was prepared. I tried to poison him, but I don't know what method he used, but he returned the poison to me. I feel so much pain right now."
As Su Qianqian spoke, she clutched her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The man quickly grabbed her pulse and diagnosed her carefully, finding that she was poisoned by the very poison he had given her.
Fortunately, the man had an antidote. He quickly took it out and handed it to her, saying, "Take the medicine quickly. While the poison hasn't fully spread throughout your body yet, take the antidote. As long as you follow the breathing exercises I taught you, you'll recover soon."
"Thank you, Master."
Su Qianqian sat cross-legged on the seat, took the medicine, and began to meditate with her eyes closed.
She felt a faint warmth in her chest, and her brow felt like it was burning with a flame. In a short while, she felt completely at ease, and the sweat on her forehead gradually flowed down.
When she opened her eyes again, her body felt ninety percent recovered. However, when she looked to the side, she found that her master was gone!
"Where did Master go?"
Su Qianqian looked curiously out of the car, but she couldn't see her master's figure.
Meanwhile, inside the antique shop, Li Yang was using his spiritual energy to help Bao Baoli regulate her breathing. Although she had taken the antidote, the poison had been too fierce, and it had already caused significant toxic erosion to Bao Baoli's liver in a short period.
Now, Li Yang had to help her regulate her breathing quickly, otherwise, her life would still be in danger.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Just as Li Yang was concentrating on helping her regulate her breathing, he suddenly heard dull footsteps behind him.
Instantly, all the customers and employees in the antique shop felt a suffocating pressure. They all turned to look towards the entrance, only to see a man in a black robe walking in, holding a snake-headed staff, exuding a powerful aura.
"Who is Li Yang? Come out and die."
The black-robed man stared coldly at everyone in the shop.
As his voice fell, he slammed his snake-headed staff fiercely onto the ground. The floor tiles instantly cracked, and the shop shook as if an earthquake had struck, making everyone lose their footing.
Li Yang slowly turned to look at the man, his expression blank, and said, "I am Li Yang. Who are you to dare cause trouble on my turf?"
The black-robed man sneered and looked at Li Yang, saying, "Crushing you would be as easy as crushing an ant.
"Today, you offended my disciple, and I've come to avenge her. Die quickly!"
As his voice fell, the black-robed man aimed his snake-headed staff at Li Yang and unleashed a stream of black poisonous flames, which coiled and flew towards Li Yang like a black python.
