Chapter 555: Chapter 376: Mu Lin vs Fen Xiao (Second Update)_2

After all, Fen Xiao would not presume that Mu Lin was truly blind to her presence.

Instead of being angry, she laughed. Turning around and casting a casual glance at the silhouette of Mu Lin, she said, "Poison Doctor, don’t you want to know who we are?" Considering how often she called him the Poison Doctor, Mu Lin wondered if she were afraid that he could have forgotten his own identity due to senility.

Even senility wouldn’t require such frequent reminders, he thought.

Still, hearing such a remark, Mu Lin paused, heaved a gentle sigh and turned around. His calm eyes finally settled on Fen Xiao’s face. He asked indifferently, "What I should do if I know who you are?" He gazed at her carefully masked face coolly, without a hint of emotion surfacing in his eyes.

She just arrived. Could it be that the man she was supposed to meet was already eager to see her? Though, if he wanted to meet her, he should have sent more capable personnel to receive her.

This time, she had wronged Mu Lin.

He would not have guessed that the two women standing before him had come to see him on their own accord, completely unrelated to another man.

Perhaps.

However, does it matter? Surely not. What matters most is learning the enemy’s main camp. Once she knew, she could go there and cause a "disturbance".

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Fen Xiao chuckled, a hint of scorn shown in her smile. "I had thought the Poison Doctor was some formidable creature, turns out you’re nothing more than an immature girl." she said.

Looking at her clean and beautiful face, there was a hidden sharpness and elegance that was beyond desecration. Her immaculate skin, long and curved eyebrows, with eyes like water, exuded indifference. Fen Xiao felt an unapparent but profound aura emanating from her, and it was somewhat oppressive.

It was subtle, yet it aroused an instinctive sense of combat.

This woman standing right in front of her was not as simple as she appeared.

Poison Doctor.

Fen Xiao could not believe that the legendary Poison Doctor turned out to be such a young girl! All those high-ranking experts from their network had fallen into her hands. No matter what, Fen Xiao just couldn’t connect these two.

Three years ago, the girl in front of her was merely a teen.

How could it be possible! Even if she was incredible, how far could a teenage girl go!

"A kid, you say?" A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Mu Lin’s mouth. "Have you tasted it?" If she hadn’t, how would she know he was still immature?

Looking at the smile on his face, Fen Xiao sneered; to her, Mu Lin was blatantly looking down on her.

Mu Lin watched as the expression in the woman’s eyes changed; provocation, jealousy, astonishment, disbelief, and negation.

What a range of expressions that had flashed across the woman’s face in such a short period!

She may understand the provocation and astonishment, but the jealousy...Mu Lin shook her head. Was she jealous of her beauty? But she was not ugly (Fen Xiao would be furious if she heard this)! Then was she jealous of her abilities? Mu Lin shook her head again. Skills are not something one can be jealous of, even if she was, her abilities couldn’t possibly become her own.

Unbeknownst to Mu Lin, the thing that Fen Xiao was most jealous of was not anything else but rather, the man’s special attention and focus on her, and that was the important point.

If Mu Lin knew this, she would probably burst into laughter.

Why would she be jealous of that? She never liked this man’s attention. What she wanted more was his life and the truth. Before she takes his life, she needs to know the whole truth.

She hopes that this time, the man can give her a satisfactory answer or else...she wouldn’t mind tearing down their nests to appease her late master’s spirit.

Fen Xiao looked at Mu Lin coldly, a trace of murderous intent in her eyes was quickly concealed. She said with a leisurely smile, "May I have the honor to invite the Poison Doctor to dinner? ...We could have a little chat."

"Dinner?" Mu Lin raised her eyebrows. After thinking about it, she didn’t refuse, "Sounds good."

Had she not mentioned dinner, he might have forgotten that it was mealtime.

Since someone was kind enough to invite him, why shouldn’t he accept?

Helpless, Mu Lin only felt famished.

Inside a private room at the dining area on the third floor of the Minda Hotel, Fen Xiao handed the menu to Mu Lin, "Please, help yourself". She smiled somewhat mysteriously at Mu Lin.

Mu Lin accepted the menu, "I won’t stand on ceremony then." From start to finish, she had not been courteous at all.

Wu Qian sat in between Mu Lin and Fen Xiao, her eyes never strayed from Mu Lin.

She was wondering whether Mu Lin genuinely forgot about her, or if she was pretending.

If she’s putting up an act, she was really doing a good job, since she couldn’t see through it at all.

Almost all of them were vegetables.

Looking at the dishes that were served one after the other, Mu Lin looked at Wu Qian and Fen Xiao, who were in front of her, with a bright smile, "I am sorry, but I’m a vegetarian, and...since you asked me to choose, I took some liberties."

Hadn’t she just said ’help yourself’?

You’re free to," Fen Xiao wasn’t there to eat anyway, so she didn’t have much interest in what Mu Lin ordered. Rather, it was another matter that intrigued her.

She was very curious about what exactly made the infamous Poison Doctor so formidable.
