Chapter 951: Five Days of Slumber

“Yes, indeed!” Ye Leng’an’s face remained indifferent. Then, changing the subject, she continued, “However, it has nothing to do with my refusal to drink your wine.”

Zhongyu Lingshan’s expression turned sour. “It seems Miss Ye is quite proud! But now, with the support of Master Huangfu, it’s normal for you to be arrogant.”

The implication was clear. Ye Leng’an was only acting arrogantly because she had powerful backing, insinuating that she was a sycophant who relied on others’ influence to behave this way.

“Believe what you want.” Ye Leng’an shrugged, unfazed. “But I’m curious, Miss Zhongyu, why would you suddenly think of poisoning me?”

Their relationship wasn’t great before, but it hadn’t reached this point. Could the recent incident in the living room have triggered Zhongyu Lingshan’s murderous intent?

Ye Leng’an’s tone was casual, belying the seriousness of her accusation.

This indifferent attitude left everyone present puzzled. Their gazes shifted between Zhongyu Lingshan and Ye Leng’an, unable to discern the truth.

However, there was significant doubt regarding Ye Leng’an’s accusation against Zhongyu Lingshan. After all, no one would be foolish enough to poison someone openly.

“Miss Ye, it’s fine if you don’t want to drink the wine I offered,” Zhongyu Lingshan said, her expression sour but devoid of guilt. “But you can’t accuse me like this. Regardless, I’m still a member of the Zhongyu family. Are you declaring war against us?”

“Am I declaring war, or are you provoking me?” Ye Leng’an suddenly stood up, snatching the pill from Zhongyu Lingshan’s hand. “I know that many poisons cannot be detected in the mortal world. It’s like the one added to this wine glass, the Five Days of Slumber. This type of poison doesn’t cause immediate death. Instead, it takes effect five days later, causing the victim to pass away in their sleep. Speaking of it, you’ve been quite considerate to me! You didn’t choose the kind of poison that pierces the intestines. Instead, you opted for this gentle poison that causes no pain.”

With these words, a glimmer of uncertainty flashed in Zhongyu Lingshan’s eyes, but her expression remained unchanged. “Miss Ye, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. But I truly didn’t intend to harm you, and I have no reason to, right?”

“Hehe, whether there’s a reason or not, you know best,” Ye Leng’an said, looking at the wine glass in her hand. “Anyway, the evidence is in my hands now. Once Ling returns, we’ll immediately return to the Hidden World and find out if I’m right!”

At that moment, Zhongyu Lingshan could no longer contain herself. “Miss Ye, why do you have to accuse me? You never liked me from the beginning, and now all I did was offer you a toast. Why put on such a show here?”

“Ye Leng’an, have you had enough?” Huangfu Jingzhang couldn’t help but speak up in a low voice. “Just now, Miss Lingshan already took a sip of wine to prove her innocence. Why do you continue to be so aggressive here? As Ruiling’s fiancée, your role is to support him by his side, not to make enemies for him.”

The others remained silent, but their thoughts were similar to Huangfu Jingzhang’s.

As for Ye Leng’an’s claim that Zhongyu Lingshan was willing to take the poison because she had the antidote, everyone still didn’t quite believe it.

Because although there was an antidote, who could say for sure about something like poison? If something really went wrong, it would cost her life.

Ye Leng’an paid no attention to Huangfu Jingzhang or the others. Her gaze remained fixed on Zhongyu Lingshan.

“Miss Zhongyu, if you truly have a clear conscience, do you dare to take this other pill?” Ye Leng’an turned her hand around, producing another bottle. She then said, “This is just an ordinary Essence Cultivating Pill, but inside this pill, there’s an ingredient that, when combined with the Five Days of Slumber, will produce a violent reaction, immediately turning into a deadly poison. If the wine you just drank didn’t contain the Five Days of Slumber, then you won’t fear taking this Essence Cultivating Pill, right?”

Watching the bottle in Ye Leng’an’s hand, Zhongyu Lingshan’s composed expression cracked slightly, but she still forced herself to remain calm. “Miss Ye, I don’t understand what you’re saying. Clearly, I didn’t do anything wrong, so why do I have to prove my innocence?”

“Oh, I thought you always wanted to prove your innocence!” Ye Leng’an placed her wine glass on the table and continued, “Just like earlier, didn’t you take a sip of wine to prove your innocence? It’s just an Essence Cultivating Pill now. Why are you afraid?”

“Miss Ye, don’t go too far.” Zhongyu Lingshan’s clenched fists hung at her sides. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, she said, “And besides, how do I know that what you gave me isn’t some kind of poison?”

“Hehe, Miss Zhongyu, you’re also from the Hidden World. Naturally, you can tell at a glance whether what’s in my bottle is an Essence Cultivating Pill or not.”

As she spoke, Ye Leng’an had already opened the bottle and poured out a pill. “So, are you going to take it?”

Looking at the pill in Ye Leng’an’s hand, Zhongyu Lingshan’s eyes flickered with uncertainty.

She had never heard of any reaction between the Five Days of Slumber and the Essence Cultivating Pill before. Therefore, she couldn’t tell if Ye Leng’an’s words were true or false.

She worried that this was a trap Ye Leng’an had set for her. If she didn’t take it, everyone would start to doubt her. However, if it was really as Ye Leng’an had said, the two drugs would react and turn into a new poison, then she would have no antidote.

For a moment, Zhongyu Lingshan stood there without giving any answer.

“It seems that Miss Zhongyu really placed the poison!” Ye Leng’an said with a smirk. “I just wonder if this was your own idea or the Zhongyu family’s idea.”

With one sentence, Zhongyu Lingshan found herself in a precarious position. freeweɓnovel.cøm

It was just like how Zhongyu Lingshan used her family to threaten others. Now, it had all backfired on her, so she deserved it.
