The Black Beast's Useless Concubine

Breaking Off The Engagement (6)

“That depends on Young Master Qing and Lord Yun,” Bai Ye said to the crowd.

Her bright smile was still intact as she emphasized loudly. “I’m young and easily spooked. We’re in such an intense and high pressure situation. I might just accidentally destroy the antidote.”

At that, everyone turned to look at the sweet, young girl who held the antidote capsule. Her smile was cheery and deliberate, contradicting the innocence she was proclaiming.

Wait a minute…

Realization dawned on everyone in the room—it was an ultimatum. If Bai Ye was forcefully removed or taken down, she would destroy the antidote and kill everyone in the process.

There was a second of silence as the information was digested.

F*ck!

The little girl’s threat was a true show of power! A true witch!

The third miss of the Yun family was nothing compared to this witch in sheep’s clothing. For the sake of her own safety, she was willing to poison a hall full of innocents.

“My nephew…” Yun Suqian was backing down despite his earlier bravado.

He had gathered his Mystic Energy and performed a rudimentary check of his body. There were signs of festering Mystic Energy. F*ck!

Yun Suqian stared at the antidote in Bai Ye’s hand. There was an urge to rush forward and grab it. There were 3,000 Tong City guards in the hall. Even if he could ride to the Precious Alchemy and purchase the antidotes…

3,000…

He could afford to cure his family but saving the army would cost more than his net worth. More importantly, there was no way the Precious Alchemy in Tong City had the latest antidote stocked and ready for a whole army.

“Lord Yun, time is ticking.” Bai Yun reminded Yun Suqian with a grin.

“Back down.” A pale-faced Qing Xuantian gave the order after realizing the effects of the poison.

“Retreat!” Yun Suqian ordered without hesitation.

In the end, the large army that marched in so audaciously and surrounded Bai Ye was gone without a trace.

With a poison capsule and its antidote, Bai Ye was able to outmaneuver her enemies.

No one was able to recognize the poison as a fake. Needless to say, the antidote in her hand was a decoy as well. Only Ji Fu and Bai Ye’s stalker, Yu Jiuchong, had an inkling of the ploy.

The plot was hatched thanks to her herb-picking experience with Bai Zhan and her own knowledge of apothecary. The ‘poison’ and ‘antidote’ were created during her journey to Tong City.

With the help of some paralyzing agents and Bai Ye’s perfect execution of ‘

Calming Energy

‘, the fake poison appeared real.

When the last guard exited the hall, Yun Suqian turned to Bai Ye and said, “My guards have retreated. You can release the antidote now.”

Once the antidote was released, Yun Suqian and Qing Xuantian would jump into action and capture Bai Ye.

Ji Fu had the same thoughts and wanted to warn Bai Ye.

Before he could, a smirk was already on Bai Ye’s face. “There’s no rush. Let us all hear about how the Young Master of Qingyun treats his so-called childhood love and fiancée. Only then will I release the antidote.”

Hidden in the air, Yu Jiuchong chuckled at Bai Ye’s words.
