Chapter 479: Trick that was impossible to fall for

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Bai Xing raised his fingers and rapped them on the table. He looked around solemnly.

He didn’t believe Fang Zhengzhi’s excuse of ‘admiring the scenery’.

No one would believe that Fang Zhengzhi had stumbled upon his residence and spontaneously decided to enter.

Bai Xing didn’t believe it, but he didn’t bother asking additional questions.

He simply hollered…

“Serve tea!”

Someone dressed as a servant entered holding a teapot and two exquisite teacups.

Bai Xing frowned.

He had called for tea not because he was a gracious host. He was in the Blood Shadow City, the capital of the Demons. He was in control here. The longer he dragged this out…

The more advantageous it was for him…

If Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t in a rush, why should he be?

There was an even more important reason. He wanted to know if the demon soldiers in his residence were truly ‘blind’.

It would seem that the demon soldiers in his residence were blind beyond belief.

The tea came too quickly.

It was so quick that it felt like the tea had been prepared in advance. More importantly, Fang Zhengzhi had prepared two cups.

“He came prepared?” Bai Xing wasn’t too surprised by this. He didn’t act immediately, choosing to wait for the man to bring the tea over.

When dealing with Fang Zhengzhi…

He couldn’t possibly attack him from the get-go. However, he could definitely take action against someone who was trying to pose as one of his servants.

He would kill this imposter in front of Fang Zhengzhi and scare Fang Zhengzhi off.

He hid a ray of silver light in his palm.

He was waiting. He wanted to wait till this man was closer.

The servant carrying the pot of tea didn’t seem to notice the killing intent Bai Xing emanated. He walked over steadily…

He was getting close!

Bai Xing’s finger moved and his eyes glittered. Just as he was about to strike, he froze.

Because…

He saw a demonic eye. There was a red demonic eye pasted on the forehead of the servant. It was a stark contrast from the greenery in the yard.

“Domain Chief, sir, please enjoy the tea!” The man looked at Bai Xing calmly as he bowed and poured Bai Xing a cup of tea.

The fragrance of the tea filled the garden.

Bai Xing looked at the man and the cup of tea in front of him. His lips twitched.

This was ridiculous!

Fang Zhengzhi had waltzed into his residence with a purple demonic eye! And now there was someone with a fake red demonic eye serving him!

Bai Xing thought that he had managed to call their bluff…

But in fact…

They were simply mocking him. Purple demonic eye? Red demonic eye? Could this be any more ridiculous?

Bai Xing subconsciously clenched his fists.

“Bang!”

This was the sound of the silver light exploding in his hands. It was also a manifestation of the anger he was feeling. However, Bai Xing was still Bai Xing. After some hesitation, he took the teacup in his hand and took a whiff. He smiled.

“Great tea!” Bai Xing looked away from the man and back at the calm Fang Zhengzhi.

“Domain Chief Bai is in for a treat. I feel obliged to tell you that the tea you hold in your hand is the best spring tea this year. I have personally brewed it with my recipe and techniques. If you say that it isn’t good, then I’ll have to fault you for not knowing your tea.” Fang Zhengzhi chuckled.

Then, he waved to the man.

The man turned around and walked over to Fang Zhengzhi. He poured a cup of tea for Fang Zhengzhi, left the teapot behind, then left.

Bai Xing’s lips twitched when he saw this.

To be told that you were in for a treat in your own backyard felt like being slapped in the face.

However, Bai Xing tolerated it.

“I’ve been meaning to ask you, do you really think that by controlling the servants in my residence, you can exit the Blood Shadow City safely?” Bai Xing asked.

“Domain Chief Bai, can we have some tea first?” Fang Zhengzhi ignored Bai Xing’s question as he raised his glass and took a sip, savoring it.

“Hmph!” Bai Xing snorted in derision.

He was curious about what happened to Fang Zhengzhi over the past year, but that was about it.

He could suppress it for a moment…

But he couldn’t suppress it forever.

As for drinking the tea…

The tea was brought by Fang Zhengzhi’s man. He was not stupid enough to taste it.

“Haha, I can see that you are running out of patience. This is some of the best tea around, are you really not going to taste it?” Fang Zhengzhi advised sincerely, ignoring the iciness on Bai Xing’s face.

“Fang Zhengzhi, are you really that stupid? Do you not know where you are?” Bai Xing squinted, a silver glow flashing through his eyes.

“Let me think… if I recall correctly, I should be in the Bai Residence inside the third layer of the Blood Shadow City’s defenses. Am I right?” Fang Zhengzhi replied innocently.

“So you do know that you are inside the Blood Shadow City!” Bai Xing felt a wave of rage. He smashed the teacup into the ground.

The cup shattered.

“It is a pity… that was a good cup. I hope Domain Chief Bai isn’t trying to chase me away? I haven’t even finished exploring the Blood Shadow City! Why don’t you accompany me?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the cup with traces of regret in his eyes.

“Accompany you? Hahaha… sure, I will accompany you!” Bai Xing chuckled out of rage.

“Thank you in advance, and sorry for taking up your time.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded enthusiastically.

“No need to thank me. However, I think you should explore this place a little differently!”

“How so?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.

“We could tie you up first, then have the soldiers gather and stand in front of you! You could take your time to see them all!” Bai Xing chuckled icily.

“Wouldn’t that be too much of a disturbance?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.

“Not at all!”

“Really?”

“I can swear on my ancestors that it is no trouble at all!”

“Since you have sworn it, please go ahead.” Fang Zhengzhi hesitated for a moment before nodding. Then, he extended his arms.

“Hahaha, Fang… hmm?!” Bai Xing chuckled as he prepared to stand up. At that moment, his smile froze.

His expression was filled with shock!

“Domain Chief Bai, what are you waiting for? I am ready.” Fang Zhengzhi urged.

“You… what did you do to me?” Bai Xing’s expression changed when he realized that he couldn’t move.

His legs felt like they had been nailed in place.

He was completely immobilized.

He was shocked when he realized this. He didn’t know what happened to him.

How is that possible?!

How could Fang Zhengzhi’s abilities have improved this much in a year?!

No!

That’s impossible!

Fang Zhengzhi’s cultivation had been ruined after the war with the Southern Region. Even if he wasn’t rendered useless, his abilities couldn’t improve this much in a year.

He had just stepped into the Supernatural State a year ago!

When he dueled Cang Yang, he had relied on the power from The Vast World, not his own abilities.

Impossible!

This was unfathomable!

Was it the tea?!

Was there something wrong with the tea?

But he didn’t drink the tea! What could have possibly gone wrong?

“What did you do to me?!” Bai Xing questioned agitatedly. He felt like he was in real danger.

“Domain Chief Bai, why don’t you make a guess.” Fang Zhengzhi smirked.

“You poisoned me?” Bai Xing queried.

“Domain Chief Bai, you are indeed a smart man! I asked you to drink the tea and you didn’t. Now you are in trouble! There is a saying… you should never waste food!” Fang Zhengzhi walked towards Bai Xing.

“What do you mean?” Bai Xing’s eyes were on the verge of popping out of their sockets.

“Do you remember the events a year ago? You were in a bad mood and didn’t like everything around you. You had a few contractors renovate your place. Do you remember that?” Fang Zhengzhi replied calmly.

“You… knew about that? Those contractors…”

“Yes, I sent them!”

“But… I checked everything after the renovation was completed. There was nothing out of place. Furthermore, nothing has happened the past year. What did you do?” Bai Xing paid a great deal of attention to his renovation

“Flowers!” Fang Zhengzhi replied.

“Flowers? What flowers?”

“A kind of flower that only blooms in spring.”

“A flower that only blooms in spring, what… what does that have to do with me now?” Bai Xing was confused.

“Domain Chief Bai is knowledgeable. You should know that some poisons are transmitted through smell!” Fang Zhengzhi explained patiently.

“You planted poisonous flowers in my garden? That’s… that’s impossible! I am not the only one who has been here and you didn’t…”

“Domain Chief Bai, I am sure you know that some scents are not poisonous on their own. However, they become poisonous after mixing with other fragrances.” Fang Zhengzhi reminded.

“Mixed with other fragrances… the tea!” Bai Xing had a revelation.

If it was only poisonous after mixing with other fragrances…

The only factor would be Fang Zhengzhi’s pot of tea.

“Yes, I reminded Domain Chief Bai that I had brewed this tea myself. I am sure you remember that.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.

“But you are here as well. You even drank the tea. Why are you okay?” Bai Xing couldn’t understand where he had gone wrong.

“Yes, I am in the garden, and I drank the tea. However, if I recall correctly, Domain Chief Bai… didn’t drink the tea. Am I right?” Fang Zhengzhi chuckled.

“Didn’t drink the tea? You… are you saying… the tea is the antidote?” Bai Xing felt a chill down his spine.

If this was true…

This was a method that he had never imagined was possible.

The tea’s fragrance would mix with that of the flower to form a poisonous substance. Yet, the tea was the antidote. Who would bother researching such a pointless poison?

Furthermore…

Who would be poisoned by such a ridiculous poison?

Bai Xing wanted to ask why someone would research such a pointless poison, but he stopped himself.

Because… he had been poisoned!

“I did remind you to drink the tea… it is a pity that it is too late now. You have already smashed the cup.” Fang Zhengzhi said regretfully.

“Fang Zhengzhi, how dare you poison me?! Have you been researching such underhand tactics for the past year?” Bai Xing was frustrated.

He never expected that a Domain Chief like him would be poisoned by such a pointless poison.

Was it hubris?

Or did Fang Zhengzhi read him like a book?!

Bai Xing was furious.

He didn’t like the feeling of being read like a book. He felt like he was facing Yun Qingwu.

That’s right!

Yun Qingwu!

Why did he feel like he was facing Yun Qingwu when he faced Fang Zhengzhi?

One year!

It was a short time…

Yet, this fella had already become an unpredictable, highly intelligent figure. Was it possible that he could now match up to the Young Master of the Demons?
