Chapter 204: Chapter 0204: Break Off the Engagement

"It was just those Poison Mushrooms I bought at the night market, right? It seemed like you were also there when I ground it into powder and sprinkled a bit on your fellow disciple earlier. I never thought these Poison Mushrooms were really such good stuff! They knocked your fellow disciple out instantly. Too bad you didn’t know how powerful it was back then and even let me have it."

Tang Ming, with his arms crossed, laughed and said, "This thing is really a must-have for killing and plundering, and committing all kinds of crimes."

Upon hearing this, Mei Dufeng’s face turned green with anger. He was annoyed because he had thought the mushrooms were not very poisonous and hadn’t bought them, but now he deeply regretted it, as he had no solution for Long Duba’s poisoning.

"Wake up my fellow disciple, and I’ll return the stuff to you."

Mei Dufeng said bitterly.

"Hehe."

Tang Ming smiled and said, "Sorry, but I only know how to poison, not how to cure it. Doesn’t your Poison Sect have a way to wake him up? I must tell you, those Poison Mushrooms are very toxic. If you keep delaying, don’t expect your fellow disciple to wake up."

The implication of Tang Ming’s words was clear, and Mei Dufeng could definitely hear it. Gritting his teeth, he pulled out the Five Poison Colored Soil and a bank card, and threw them directly in front of Tang Ming:

"Consider us stumped this time. Next time, you won’t be so lucky."

"Still playing tough at this point."

Tang Ming picked up the two items from the ground, then turned around with a cheerful smile and headed toward the hotel.

Seeing Tang Ming leave, Long Yi and Long Er couldn’t help but anxiously ask, "Uncle Master, are we really letting this guy go?"

"Do you want to teach him a lesson, or do you want to save your master?"

Mei Dufeng shouted angrily, and the two immediately dared not speak anymore.

The three of them carried Long Duba aside, intending to stop a car and take him back to the Sect for treatment. Unexpectedly, at that moment, Long Duba suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

"Brother, you finally woke up."

Mei Dufeng exclaimed happily.

"I was poisoned?"

Long Duba rubbed his eyes, still somewhat in disbelief. After all, he had been dealing with Poison his whole life and had been poisoned without even noticing.

"Yes, it was that kid Tang Ming who poisoned you during your confrontation."

Mei Dufeng cursed bitterly, "That kid had found a Poison Mushroom at the night market last time; I didn’t expect it to be so powerful and actually used it against us."

"Indeed, the Poison is fierce, but it’s not so simple. If there were no special technique to administer it, it also wouldn’t have poisoned me," Long Duba said, immediately frowning. "This Tang Ming is not simple."

"Brother, let’s go back to the hotel and take that kid down right now."

Mei Dufeng, unable to swallow his pride, said angrily.

"Let it go, we’ll head back to the Sect first. As Tang Ming managed to poison me, it shows he has some tricks up his sleeve. Going back now is just asking for trouble; we’ll find a chance to deal with him later," Long Duba instructed, shaking his head.

Mei Dufeng and the others could not go against Long Duba’s wishes, and thinking it over, it made sense. What if they went back and Tang Ming used the Poison Mushrooms on them again? Wouldn’t they continue to be slaughtered? Thus, the group of four found another car and headed back to the Sect.

In the hotel room, Liu Gaoze was already packed up, and Su Xiaoxi was also dressed up neatly, holding a delicate small crossbody bag.

Tang Ming went upstairs and happily said to Liu Gaoze, "Uncle, I got the stuff back."

"Oh? Really? That’s great."

Liu Gaoze was somewhat surprised and admired Tang Ming’s capability, his face lighting up with joy: "This Five Poison Colored Soil is very useful to me. I almost missed it completely. I really have to thank you this time!"

"Didn’t you bring me here just for this? Saying all that thanks and what-not."

Tang Ming smiled indifferently.

Su Xiaoxi blinked at Tang Ming, "Tang Ming, are you leaving? Won’t you take me with you?"

"You silly girl, you almost let the people from Poison Sect steal all my stuff before, and you think I’d dare take you with me? That would just be asking for trouble! You’ve already attended the auction and bought everything you wanted, so just hurry home and entertain yourself."

Tang Ming said immediately, annoyed.

"Hmph, I was only worried about you before, that’s why I opened the door. No good deed goes unpunished, huh?"

Su Xiaoxi pouted, dissatisfied.

"Alright, since we’re all going back, let’s take Miss Su with us."

Liu Gaoze looked at the two bickering and couldn’t help but interject with some advice.

The trio directly booked plane tickets and headed to the airport lounge to wait, the journey was uneventful. Tang Ming had figured that the people from Poison Sect wouldn’t dare to cause more trouble, as he had revealed some of his skill earlier. He might have fooled Mei Dufeng, who was half-baked, but certainly couldn’t fool the old fox Long Duba. They were surely afraid of his prowess, so they didn’t dare to pester him any further.

Although the immediate storm had passed, Tang Ming was still somewhat worried when he remembered the old man’s instructions not to show off his poisoning skills lightly.

Poison Sect was a sect specializing in poison, and it was uncertain if they might detect something. But why was the old man afraid of him using his poisoning skills? He wondered if it might cause trouble.

After the scuffle earlier, Tang Ming was quite tired and slept soundly on the plane until someone woke him up.

When he saw that the plane had landed, Tang Ming hurriedly followed Liu Gaoze out of the cabin and then remembered Su Xiaoxi.

"Uncle, where’s that silly girl?"

Tang Ming asked, carrying his luggage.

"You were so harsh on her; of course, she got mad. Did you not see she wasn’t even sitting with us earlier?"

Liu Gaoze shook his head, "She ran off as soon as we disembarked. Looks like she’s really upset this time."

"That silly girl is so stupid, it’s better she goes home by herself, saves me the worry."

Tang Ming didn’t care at all.

"You young people, I really don’t get it. It’s not a big deal, yet you act like sworn enemies."

Liu Gaoze shook his head, but he was more at ease since Tang Ming wasn’t much connected with other girls.

Exiting the airport, the driver Liu Fei had already been waiting for a long time. Both men got into the car, and Liu Gaoze thanked Tang Ming again, "Tang Ming, I really owe you one this time. Otherwise, I’d never have gotten the Five Poison Colored Soil."

"Uncle Liu, no need to thank me."

Tang Ming said indifferently.

But Liu Gaoze insisted, "Tang Ming, I got this Five Poison Colored Soil without spending a dime. Here’s what, let me transfer fifty million to you, consider it payment for the soil."

"Forget it, I have money in my card too, but..."

Tang Ming hesitated to continue.

Liu Gaoze asked instinctively:

"But what? As long as it’s something I can do, I’ll help you with it."

After a moment’s hesitation, Tang Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Liu, if you can agree, please call off the marriage between Meng Ting and me!"
