Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Dare to Bet? Third Update

Leng Qianqian, as one of the top three ranked in the Assassin World, certainly knew there was something wrong with the dish, but she also knew that since Chen Wei had dared to let her eat it, he must be confident; Leng Qianqian was willing to take the bet.

As time passed second by second, Chen Wei had finished his fifth bowl and was about to add a sixth, even Qian Chengtian, who had just had a face full of anger, showed a trace of astonishment.

What’s happening? Why hasn’t the poison taken effect?

Shouldn’t Chen Wei and Leng Qianqian be suffering from ruptured intestines and lying unconscious, never to wake again in this world?

"Ah, I’m full, I’m full. It feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve been this satisfied," Chen Wei put down his chopsticks; five bowls of rice were enough.

Seeing his content demeanor, the expressions on the three people’s faces were extremely unsightly.

Proud? What is there to be proud of now!

The three of them had joined forces and still couldn’t poison two youngsters to death—a disgrace to their claim as elders of the Poison Sect!

"Now that I’ve had my fill, shouldn’t we talk about why you’ve called us here, and what exactly it’s about?" Chen Wei asked very directly.

"Little brother, don’t be in a hurry, I have something else I would like you to see," Mo Wenhui said with an awkward smile.

"Something else?"

"Yes," Mo Wenhui nodded affirmatively, "a little after-dinner show, please come this way."

Following that, Chen Wei and Leng Qianqian were led by Mo Wenhui and Xu Linjun to a square.

In the middle of the square, there was a stone platform, shaped like a large bowl.

"What is this?" Chen Wei asked, curious about the purpose of the large bowl.

"For over a hundred years, we’ve entertained ourselves with poison creature battles, using scorpions, rats, centipedes, Poison Snakes, poisonous frogs... a vast variety, little brother, and the young lady over there, are you interested in trying your hand?" Mo Wenhui had various poisonous creatures brought in and placed to one side.

"If I win, what’s in it for me?" Chen Wei asked. "You can’t expect me to do it for nothing, right?"

"You still want a reward..." Hearing Chen Wei say this, Qian Chengtian was like a lit firecracker, ready to explode.

But he was stopped by Mo Wenhui, who continued, "Of course, there’s a reward. There’s a hundred million in this card. If you win, I will present it to you with both hands."

"Such a high reward? If I lose, the price must not be small, right?" Chen Wei pointed out.

"If you lose, you’ll get bitten by my Golden Ring Five-Poison Snake. After that, where you seek treatment, whether you live or die, it’s all up to fate. How about it? Are you brave enough to bet?" Mo Wenhui explained the rules.

"Bet! Why wouldn’t I bet? Money being handed to me on a plate, why would I not take it?"

Hearing Chen Wei say this, Qian Chengtian felt he was too arrogant. The Golden Ring Five-Poison Snake was the most potent poison of the Poison Sect, and no matter which poison creature Chen Wei chose, he stood no chance against it.

Being bitten by the Golden Ring Five-Poison Snake, it wouldn’t take half a second before you went to meet Lord Yama.

Still dreaming of taking the money? Pure folly!

"I can choose any of these poisonous creatures, right?" Chen Wei confirmed.

"That’s right, but the Golden Ring Five-Poison Snake has already been chosen by me, and there’s only one," Mo Wenhui obviously wouldn’t leave the sure-win bet to Chen Wei’s choice.

Leng Qianqian spoke softly, one could make out the word "despicable" in her tone, but no one paid it any attention.

"I’m not particularly fond of snakes, if I have to choose, I would rather choose..." Chen Wei walked back and forth, then picked up one of the iron cages, "I’ll take this rat."

Seeing the poison creature Chen Wei had chosen, Xu Linjun and Qian Chengtian could barely hold it in and almost burst into laughter.

Mo Wenhui was also slightly moved, and he struggled to keep composure as he asked again, "Are you sure you want this rat?"

"Yes. Is there a problem?" Chen Wei pretended to be puzzled.

"No, no problem. All right then, if you’re ready, let’s begin," Mo Wenhui said, his smile this time was genuine, albeit derisive.

Who in the world doesn’t know that snakes eat rats?

Choosing a mouse to confront a snake, moreover, a Golden Ring Five-Poison Snake, isn’t this the same as sending a dog to fight a lion?

A born suppression of bloodlines!

Even failing to grasp this principle, the trio seriously doubted, could Elder Snake really have been killed by this fool?

Could they have possibly found the wrong person?

"Can I do something to it, like stick a couple of needles in?" Chen Wei asked Mo Wenhui after observing the mouse for a few minutes.

"Please," Mo Wenhui lifted a hand, palm up.

Chen Wei took out a Silver Needle and began randomly pricking the mouse through the bars of the cage.

Mo Wenhui’s trio widened their eyes but couldn’t discern any rationale, assuming Chen Wei was putting on an act and didn’t take it seriously.

"I’m ready."

"Then let’s start."

The two simultaneously opened the cages and placed the mouse and the Golden Ring Five-Poison Snake into the large stone bowl.

The mouse didn’t move an inch.

The Golden Ring Five-Poison Snake, upon noticing the mouse, began to slither towards it, coiling its body in readiness.

Just seven or eight centimeters away, it opened its gaping maw, revealing a pair of emerald-green fangs, clearly gearing up for an attack.

It’s doomed for sure!

The Golden Ring Five-Poison Snake launched an assault, springing like a coil towards the still unmoving mouse.

Before the trio could reveal any joy, they saw the Golden Ring Five-Poison Snake strike nothing but air and bite into loneliness!

After that, the mouse sunk its teeth into the snake’s vital seven-inch spot, grabbed hold with its tiny paws, shook its head vigorously, and ripped off a large piece of flesh.

The speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, the Golden Ring Five-Poison Snake was severed into two.

Before this moment, Mo Wenhui and his colleagues had never imagined that their treasured Golden Ring Five-Poison Snake, whose venom could decimate a city, would be killed by a mere common mouse that could easily be caught in any sewer, bitten to death alive!

And to think, within the entire Poison Sect, it was the only successfully bred Golden Ring Five-Poison Snake!

Mo Wenhui felt a heart-wrenching pain.

"What on earth did you do!" Mo Wenhui demanded.

Immediately thereafter, he recalled Chen Wei holding the Silver Needle and pricking the mouse a few times.

The issue must lie with that Silver Needle!

"What have I done, didn’t you all see?" Chen Wei stretched out his hand, "Fair’s fair, hand over the bank card."

Could Mo Wenhui refuse? Of course not, and he dared not refuse either.

Two attempts at probing, yet still unable to gauge Chen Wei’s depth, he could clearly feel that the strength displayed by this young man might just be the tip of the iceberg!

Should they wish to kill him, they must think thrice before acting! Otherwise, it could bring great trouble to the Poison Sect!

"Password?" Chen Wei looked at the bank card in his hand and asked.

"554556," answered Mo Wenhui.

"Anything else? If not, we’ll be heading back first. It’s getting late, and we have work tomorrow," Chen Wei said offhandedly.

"Yes, of course, I’ll have someone send you off," Mo Wenhui said with a genuine wry smile.

As they watched the two walk away, Qian Chengtian was quite discontented, harboring deep resentment, "Are we really just going to let them leave so easily?"
