Chapter 346: Old Monster Pretending to Be Young
"Poison powder?" When Qu Xiao heard the word "Poison powder", a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
"Sister Xiao, come here, I'll introduce you to my poison powder." Nangong Xi took Qu Xiao's hand and sat down at the stone table next to them.
Then Nangong Xi took out a large pile of various poison powders from his space.
"So many." Qu Xiao exclaimed when she saw a pile of poison powder in front of her.
"This is only a part of it. Come, Sister Xiao, let me introduce it to you..." Nangong Xi said as she began to introduce the poison powders on the table one by one.
"Xixi, will this bone-eroding powder really turn a person into a lump of meat?" Among a large number of poisonous powders, Qu Xiao obviously has a special liking for bone-eroding powder.
"Yes, it has been tested many times and it works very well." Nangong Xi nodded.
"Then let's go." Qu Xiao grabbed the poison powder and was about to walk out of the yard.
"Sister Xiao, wait a minute." Seeing Qu Xiao was about to go out, he quickly grabbed her.
"Xixi, what's wrong?" Qu Xiao looked at Nangong Xi who was holding her with a puzzled look on her face.
"My sister, are you planning to break into the Second Elder's yard like this?" Nangong Xi looked at her speechlessly.
"That's right." Qu Xiao nodded.
"What if we are discovered?" asked Nangong Xi.
"I flicked the poison powder and left immediately." Qu Xiao spread his hands.
"Sister Xiao, your approach is cool, but it will cause endless troubles." Nangong Xi felt helpless when he heard Qu Xiao's words.
"What else?" Qu Xiao looked at Nangong Xi.
"Let's sprinkle the poison powder on them secretly. We can't be discovered. Come, Sister Xiao, this is the invisibility powder and the visibility potion. We will sprinkle the invisibility powder on our bodies and then rub the visibility potion on our eyes." Nangong Xi handed the invisibility powder and visibility potion to Qu Xiao.
Qu Xiao took it and did as Nangong Xi said.
"And then what?" After sprinkling the invisibility powder on herself and applying the revealing potion on her eyes, Qu Xiao looked at Nangong Xi.
"Now, only we can see each other, no one else can see us." Nangong Xi looked at her with amusement.
"So magical." Qu Xiao's eyes lit up again.
"This is a Stealth Pill. After taking it, it can conceal our aura. Then we can go out and play without worry." Nangong Xi handed Qu Xiao another Stealth Pill.
"Okay." Qu Xiao took the Invisibility Pill and swallowed it. Nangong Xi also took one.
"Let's go." The two smiled at each other, and under the leadership of Qu Xiao, they walked towards the second elder's residence.
"Xixi, this second elder is an old pervert. There are many women in the yard and he has many children. Can we turn all his children into a lump of meat?" Qu Xiao looked at Nangong Xi.
"Okay." Nangong Xi nodded with a smile.
Qu Xiao has changed a lot now compared to when we first met. It turns out she is so cute when she takes off her cold mask.
Qu Xiao brought Nangong Xi to the second elder's courtyard. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they heard noisy sounds inside.
"It seems that the Second Elder is still holding a banquet." Qu Xiao's eyes were full of disgust.
"Hold a banquet?" A trace of confusion flashed across Nangong Xi's eyes.
"Yes, his biggest hobby is hosting various banquets." Qu Xiao nodded.
After the two finished talking, they sneaked in quietly. As expected, they saw that the second elder's yard was bustling with people coming and going.
"Xixi, the man hugging beauties on both sides is the second elder." Qu Xiao said, pointing at a man sitting in the main seat.
"So young." Nangong Xi was stunned when he saw the so-called second elder.
"He is an old monster who is hundreds of years old. Don't be fooled by his appearance." Qu Xiao looked at the second elder with disdain on her face.
"Did he take the beauty pill?" Nangong Xi guessed.
"No, as far as I know, he relies on absorbing the vitality of women to maintain his youthful appearance." Qu Xiao said.
"He actually killed so many women for a problem that could have been solved with a beauty pill." Nangong Xi was stunned when he heard this.
"Xixi, after all, the beauty pill is a legendary elixir that can only be obtained by chance." After saying this, Qu Xiao looked at Nangong Xi.
Nangong Xi: ...
I really want to tell her that this beauty pill can be easily refined by myself, and now with the addition of the Xiuyan Fruit, the effect is enhanced a hundred times.
"Are all those attending the banquet from the Dark Temple?" Nangong Xi asked curiously.
"That's right, but they are all on the side of the Second Elder and the Deputy Hall Master." Qu Xiao explained.
"Are you going against the Palace Master?" Nangong Xi understood that this Dark Temple was not peaceful either.
"That's right, just like a power competition, they will also form another team to participate. If the team they form wins, the hall master must hand over the position of hall master." Qu Xiao said.
"So Uncle Yan is on the side of the Palace Master?" Nangong Xi asked.
"Lord Yan and the Palace Master are good brothers who are willing to share life and death. He used to be traveling outside, and only came back to help the Palace Master after my grandfather died." Qu Xiao explained to Nangong Xi.
"In that case, we should not be lenient next time." Nangong Xi said as he quietly approached the banquet venue.
Qu Xiao followed closely.
The two walked around the banquet and then left quietly.
After Qu Xiao and Nangong Xi returned to Qu Xiao's residence, Nangong Xi randomly selected a room and the two went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day.
The two woke up to a loud noise.
Just after Nangong Xi and Qu Xiao walked out of the room at the same time, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
Qu Xiao, who was originally smiling at Nangong Xi, suddenly changed her expression.
"Who?" A cold and ruthless voice came out of Qu Xiao's mouth.
The person knocking on the door outside was so frightened that he shuddered instantly.
This is the female Yama of the Dark Temple, the kind that would chop people at any time. Fortunately, she is protected by the Temple Master and Lord Yan.
"Miss Qu, I am Wu Ping, the disciple of the Second Elder. The Second Elder asked me to come over and invite you over, saying that he has something to ask you." Wu Ping said stiffly.
"You have something to ask me? What is it?" Qu Xiao asked coldly.
"You'll know when you get there." Wu Ping said this with no apparent confidence.
If I hadn't been busy last night and hadn't attended the banquet, I wouldn't be standing here now.
Indeed, when he walked into the second elder’s courtyard today, the scene was so horrifying!
"Busy." Qu Xiao just threw him two words.
Wu Ping was helpless. He knew that Qu Xiao had always disliked people from the Second Elder's lineage, so it was normal for him to have such a reaction.
"Ms. Qu, the situation is indeed urgent." Wu Ping spoke again.
"Second Elder, the emergency situation has nothing to do with me. If you want me to join your team during the power competition, just say it. I won't agree." Qu Xiao's tone became colder.
"It's not a matter of competing for power." Wu Ping replied.
"I, this lady, have nothing more to say to the Second Elder, haha..." Qu Xiao deliberately made a sound like vomiting blood at the end.
