Chapter 29: The Opportunity Arrives
A sinister glint flashed across the bottom of her dark, shiny eyes. However, her Soul-Capturing Technique was useless against this guy, and even if she practiced for a few more years, it's unlikely that she could take his life with her current small build! Was there no other way to make him disappear from her sight?
She walked into the garden, unaware of her surroundings, and gazed at the vibrant flowers in full bloom. She gradually became entranced. If she couldn't get rid of him and he found out about her intention to kill him, not only would her own life be in danger, but also her mother's... Was this useless person really harmless?
"Pufferfish?" Sixth Aunt stared at the basket of fish that still had some breath left in them, her eyes instantly darkening, her face gloomy as she looked at the iron pillar with a silly smile. "This is poisonous! You little scamp, are you trying to get yourself killed, daring to bring this thing back home?"
A fleeting word by her ear, however, lifted Yun Wanjiao's depressed spirits. She looked up to see Sixth Aunt instructing a thin and weak boy in the not-too-distant lawn.
"Get something fresher, how did you bring this thing back! Hurry up and throw it away!" Liu Aunt watched as Tie Zhu walked away with the vegetable basket in hand before letting out a deep breath.
Yun Weng looked at Liu Fu's wife walking away before she took a step forward and hastily caught up with her. She gazed at the boy in front of her, vaguely recalling that he was the child Liu Fu had bought back to the mansion just two days ago. What a pitiful fate this child had!
"Long live the princess, long live the princess, forever and ever!" Looking at the boy kneeling stiffly in front of her, Yun Wansong spoke up again in a soft voice, "Lift your head and respond."
Yun Wansong took a deep breath, and the energy inside her body began to flow. The dark pupils of her eyes gradually shone with a faint purple glow. Looking at the slightly stunned face of the boy in front of her, his pupils slowly dilating, Yun Wansong knew that her charm had succeeded. She then spoke softly, "You've already thrown away the puffer fish, you can go back now!"
"Yes." Looking at the boy in front of him, stiffly getting up from the ground, he took over the vegetable basket beside him with a smile, looking at the pufferfish that still had some breath left, and raised the corner of his mouth with a smile. "I'd like to see if you're really immune to all poisons! This is called 'breaking through iron shoes without searching for a place', it's effortless!"
Yun Wanting held the vegetable basket in her hand, but didn't know where she should go! Looking at the plump fish in the basket, its body was covered with dark green stripes on its abdomen and back. Yun Wanting's eyes sparkled with crystal-like luster!
However, she had also heard that the flesh of pufferfish was extremely delicious. Could it be that this fish didn't have any toxins? Suddenly, her ears echoed with what Liu Aunt had just said. Liu Aunt's husband was a fisherman and often sold fish at the market; if she said it was poisonous, then it must be poisonous!
"Miss, why are you carrying a vegetable basket? And what's with this strange fish? What is it?" Little Cui had already put away the water, but couldn't find Yun Wengao's figure anywhere, so she asked softly.
"I just went out to buy a fish and came back!" Yun Wai Ge explained in a low, slightly embarrassed tone, but upon seeing Xiao Cui's distracted gaze, his heart skipped a beat, and he hastily changed the subject. "How did you come here, Wang Ye?"
"The prince said he still had official business to attend to and returned to his study." Xiaocui continued to stare at the strange little fish in front of her. Having stayed in the palace for so long, she had seen many rare delicacies, but this was the first time she had seen such a fish and couldn't help feeling curious.
"Is the bath water ready?" Yun Wai's song handed the vegetable basket in her hand to Xiao Cui. "This fish can be said to have tender meat and is extremely delicious! Wang Ye has worked so hard, tonight use this to make a midnight snack for him."
