He never imagined that this guy actually wanted him to test for poison.

Such things, he had only seen on television dramas or read in novels.

Experiencing it in reality, this was indeed his very first time.

It was because of this that he didn't react immediately.

Glancing at the terrified expression on the young eunuch's face, Lin Yi couldn't help but suddenly shake his head and laugh.

It seems he really misunderstood this guy. No matter how gentle or kind he was, a young eunuch wouldn't dare to bully him.

After all, his identity was clearly established here, and with just a word, he could get rid of him completely.

Because of this, they absolutely wouldn't dare to go against his words. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Moreover, he had just allowed the young eunuch to resume using his surname, which made him full of gratitude and probably prepared to give his life for him at any moment.

No, this isn't a joke. In this ancient era, life was so cheap that a single touch could make someone give their all for you.

Besides, he was the King of the Dayou Kingdom, which meant he could control the lives of anyone within the kingdom.

But regardless, Lin Yi, being a modern man, found it hard to accept the act of having people test for poison.

As a result, when he heard those words, he didn't feel very good at heart. Although his life was important, whose life wasn't?

Even though Lin Yi knew well that in this ancient feudal society, the king's power was paramount, he had always been taught that everyone was equal.

That's why he couldn't do such things as disregarding human life or treating it as a joke.

However, he also deeply understood that if he didn't have the other party test for poison, it was highly likely someone might actually try to harm him. At that point, he would be in great danger.

For instance, if Lin Yi refused the eunuch's offer today, who knows when this news might spread.

At that time, someone might secretly tamper with his food.

His assertiveness would inevitably clash with some people's interests.

At that time, many people would hope he no longer existed in this world.

Especially those aristocratic families, they would act more recklessly, or if their interests were threatened, they would stop at nothing.

Not only Lin Yi, even the former King You faced the same situation.

If Lin Yi stood in their way, they would band together to eliminate him, solving their problem at once.

Or they might unite to choose a new King You, which would be all benefits and no harm for them.

It's no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for Lin Yi's assertiveness and decisiveness, he might not have achieved his current position.

After thinking it over, Lin Yi realized that he had no choice but to let the other party test for poison today.

But he felt helpless about one thing: after the other party completed the poison test, how could he eat it?

Although Lin Yi was usually carefree, let's not forget that he had a bit of a cleanliness obsession. He wouldn't touch food left by others.

For a moment, he was troubled, thinking about whether there was a perfect solution.

Alas, this was indeed a troublesome matter. Why was the system in a dormant state now?

If the system weren't dormant, he could have used it to decompose and reconstruct anything, eliminating the toxins inside.

Of course, doing so came at a cost, as it wasted a chance to decompose and reconstruct, given the immense value of such a process.

Using it only for decomposing and reconstructing food felt like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito.

Even more so.

As he was thinking this, suddenly Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he thought of a possibility.

Even though the system was dormant, he could still use the System Space. Could he put the item into the System Space to see if there were any toxins?

Although this wasn't guaranteed to work, Lin Yi wanted to try.

After all, as good as ideas are, nothing is clearer than testing them. Once done, whether it works or not would become evident. As he thought of this, Lin Yi waved at the young eunuch:

"Alright, for now, don't eat this and there's no need for you to test for poison."

Saying this, without waiting for the other's reaction, Lin Yi directly picked up the plate of bear paw.

Then, under the young eunuch's watchful eyes, he directly placed it into the System Space.

In that instant, the bear paw's disappearance made the young eunuch's eyes widen, and not only him but the other servants nearby were also shocked.

What, what, what happened? Where did the item go? Why did it disappear into thin air? Was this a trick?

Although many knew of Lin Yi's Immortal identity, it didn't mean everyone was aware of it. For example, the Yishan Room attendants didn't know.

Of course, the young eunuch was aware, but knowing was one thing, seeing Lin Yi make something vanish like magic was utterly astounding.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Lin Yi didn't bother to explain or engage them in conversation. The more people knew about his Immortal identity, the better it was for him, so he didn't shy away from it.

Truth be told, this was the advantage of the feudal era; if it were the 21st century, Lin Yi would've kept this secret to himself, guarding it fiercely.

But in ancient society, there was no need to worry about it. Instead, the stronger he appeared, the more he could intimidate others, aiding his progress.

Of course, that's a story for another time; let's focus on Lin Yi's situation now.

After placing the bear paw into the System Space.
