Chapter 360: Chapter 261 Mu Lin who is Afraid of Dirt (Second update)_1

"How is it, have you detected how many types of herbal medicine are in it, Red Scorpion?" A scorpion, hmm, indeed an uncommon type of poison.

A faint smirk lined the corners of Mu Lin’s lips, a slight smile played on his face as he gazed at the demoness standing before him.

Upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, Mo Yinfan, who was initially about to approach, abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Red Scorpion? No wonder. A slow smile pulled at the corners of his mouth.

Mo Yinfan had been puzzled just a moment ago, wondering how Mu Lin suddenly became so... gentle. The sight was slightly unconventional! His gaze landed on the Red Scorpion standing before Mu Lin. Mo Yinfan figured that women these days seemed to be getting stronger, but in his eyes, none were stronger than Mu Lin- a being worthy of everyone’s respect and fear.

Of course, he was not included among those who feared him.

Seeing Mu Lin, shock swept over Red Scorpion’s eyes, but it quickly vanished. She slowly rose to her feet, her eyes sweeping lightly over the area with an equally ambiguous smile, "You’ve found out." When was it? Could it be when she just discovered that she was the Poison Doctor?

"It wasn’t hard," Mu Lin responded lightly, "Your acting skill is rather poor. I assume you’ve never tasted the poison of Angelica Dahurica." There is considerable difference between real pain and pretended pain, despite how hard she pretended.

Of course, another crucial point was that this woman was too vain and loved showing off her figure. Although she quickly glanced over her silhouette, she still immediately recognized her.

Her figure was indeed commendable, but it was questionable whether it could be compared to a certain individual’s.

"It seems like you have used it." Red Scorpion let out a cold huff, skeptical of Mu Lin’s words. Only a fool would test a poison on themselves.

Mu Lin shrugged, neither confirming nor denying. "A few years ago, I used it on my Master, but unfortunately, he found the antidote; this poison, really isn’t that good," he stated, expressing his slight disappointment.

Honestly speaking, most of the poisons that Mu Lin concocted could be neutralized by Mu Jue. However, some of them were even beyond Mu Jue’s capability to neutralize. Concerning Mu Lin’s talent for poison, Mu Jue has always been much impressed, totally clueless on how he had mentored such a student.

The poison of Angelica Dahurica indeed took effect on Mu Jue once before. But it was only after himself. At that time, an antidote was already formulated.

Although Mu Lin was immune to all poisons, he still felt a bit uncomfortable when he initially ingested that poison. But later on, his blood would neutralize it, and then it would disappear without trace.

Mu Lin had no idea that his blood could act in that manner. It was a perfect antidote, but unfortunately, it would not serve just any person.

Years ago.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Red Scorpion’s face stiffened at that moment.

The poison that she spent so long researching and developing over the past couple days was merely Mu Lin’s leftover? No, she refused to believe it, nor accept it. Mu Lin was simply running his mouth.

Red Scorpion would never acknowledge that she was inferior to Mu Lin, not even by the slightest bit.

She gave Mu Lin a cold look, "It seems, you also have no solution for this poison." Mu Lin had already said that the antidote had been formulated by his master, so this had nothing to do with him. "The name of the Poison Doctor is merely a false reputation after all," she scoffed, her eyes filled with mockery.

Hearing this, Mu Lin laughed, in a light and graceful manner, "Are you an idiot?" His words rendered the woman standing before him speechless. Anger appeared on her pretty face, "What do you mean by that?"

"It seems like you are hard of hearing, even have the audacity to ask for a rebuke." His strong words pierced right through her, he saw stars before his eyes, "Who told you that I have no antidote for this poison?" Mu Lin indicated that he had never said such a thing.

Ignoring the rage etched on the woman’s face, Mu Lin continued leisurely, "I have already said that this is merely something I played with years ago. Red Scorpion, do you think you might be underestimating me a tad by trying to use this against me?"

"After all, I am the legendary Poison Doctor, am I not?" Although the reputation was indeed just a title, Mu Lin was no hollow reputation.

Red Scorpion gave a cold snort, full of mockery, "Poison Doctor? Haha. Then please tell me, Ms. Poison Doctor, have you ever realized that you have been poisoned by me?" Pointing out the irony of the title ’Poison Doctor’ was certainly ironic.
