Chapter 264: Chapter 0264: Add Something Extra for Him

"Cang bro, what’s up?"

The Monkey asked, puzzled.

"You guys hurry up, I’m on a lucky streak with the ladies."

Chen Cang hung up the phone and, while straightening his clothes, smugly thought to himself, "From extreme hardship comes fortune, and there’s this incredibly hot woman hitting on me. It seems my luck has truly changed."

"I’m talking to you here."

Seeing that Chen Cang wasn’t responding to her, but instead was ogling her with a sacrilegious gaze, Shen Yan asked impatiently. If it weren’t for his usefulness, she would have dealt with him already.

"I have quite a good relationship with Tang Ming."

Chen Cang displayed what he considered a very handsome smile, tousled his bangs, and frivolously asked, "What’s up, beauty? Can’t sleep and feeling lonely? Want to engage in some ’more-than-friends’ interaction with this young master tonight?"

"Smack!"

As soon as Chen Cang finished speaking, Shen Yan slapped him across the face and coldly said, "Disrespect me again, and I’ll kill you."

Originally smirking and styled to look cool, Chen Cang was instantly dumbfounded by the slap. Coming to his senses, he furiously shouted, "How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am? I’m from the Chen Family of Songlan City, and if you don’t believe me, I..."

Shen Yan, not wasting any words, stepped closer, pinning Chen Cang’s neck with a steel needle held between her right fingers, and coldly asked, "Believe me now, or should I just kill you here?"

Seeing Shen Yan’s face up close, Chen Cang was stunned by her beauty and suddenly felt the slap wasn’t so painful. Enduring it, he said, "Don’t joke, beauty. Trying to kill someone with an embroidery needle makes you think you’re Dongfang Bubai? Just stay with me tonight, and I’ll forgive that slap, even giving you a great advantage."

"Ignorance!"

Seeing that Chen Cang wasn’t at all intimidated by her actions, Shen Yan cursed in anger, realizing that ordinary folks like him couldn’t sense the terror of the steel needle in her hand.

Shen Yan withdrew the needle from her right hand and drew a sharp dagger with her left, placing it against Chen Cang’s neck, and coldly asked, "What about now?"

"Hiss!"

Feeling the icy chill of the dagger, Chen Cang finally realized he had encountered a formidable person.

"Merciful lady, spare my life!"

Chen Cang immediately knelt before Shen Yan, stammering, "I haven’t offended you; please don’t kill me. I can give you money..."

"Shut up!"

Shen Yan, almost not recovering from Chen Cang’s swift change, cut him off, pulling out a white paper packet.

"Seeing you and Tang Ming are pretty close, find a chance to slip this packet into his food. If you dare not follow through, I’ll slice off your fat piece by piece."

"What?"

Chen Cang caught the packet, asking anxiously, "What, what is this?"

Chen Cang, who had just mended his relationship with Tang Ming, was reluctant to provoke him, hence his hesitance.

"Poison, deadly poison."

Shen Yan said coldly.

"Oh, it’s poison!"

Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief and thought relaxedly, "The least of Tang Ming’s worries is poison, and this gives me a perfect excuse to get in his good graces."

Seeing Chen Cang’s relieved expression, Shen Yan felt a bit odd and immediately threatened, "Don’t think about fooling me. If you don’t get him to swallow the poison, I’ll make you eat it."

"Don’t worry, I guarantee he’ll eat the whole packet."

Chen Cang stood up and solemnly promised.

Looking at Chen Cang thoughtfully for a while, Shen Yan couldn’t quite grasp what was going on in the mind of the man before her and waved him off: "Go then. I’ll be watching you from the shadows, don’t try any tricks."

Chen Cang, walking away with the packet of poison, was jubilant.

"Are all the students from Tianjiao Middle School nuts?"

Shen Yan blankly watched Chen Cang’s retreating figure.

"Letting him happy about poisoning someone, is he sick!"

Although Chen Cang knew that Tang Ming seemed not to be afraid of poison, the sudden appearance of a woman he was supposed to target made his hair stand on end.

"I don’t know what the relationship is between that woman and Tang Ming, but if Tang Ming misunderstands that I’ve conspired with outsiders against him, then all the relationship-building efforts would have been wasted."

After returning to the crowd, Chen Cang began to hesitate whether to poison Tang Ming.

On one hand, he was afraid of offending Tang Ming, and on the other hand, he also feared the woman who had just threatened him.

Liu Mengting and two other women had already joined the grand celebration, singing and dancing along with everyone else, accompanied the whole time by Zhou Dafu, while Tang Ming was sitting in front of the campfire, focusing on grilling and enjoying the delicacies.

"Ming, Brother Ming!"

Chen Cang approached Tang Ming anxiously.

"Why don’t you go play with Liu Mengting? This seems like a good opportunity, right?"

Tang Ming, holding a sizzling, fragrant hock over the fire, casually asked.

"I, I will in a bit."

Chen Cang gritted his teeth, took out the packet of poison, and suggested, "Brother Ming, let me add some seasoning for you, the kind that ordinary people can’t handle, okay?"

Tang Ming looked at Chen Cang doubtfully and uncertainly asked, "Did Monkey and Xiao Jun come back? Never mind, go ahead with whatever good stuff you’ve got."

"Alright, alright!"

Chen Cang hurriedly opened the packet and poured its contents onto the hock.

"Be careful, don’t waste it!"

As Tang Ming rotated the hock to evenly distribute the "seasoning," he reminded him.

"Can this actually work?"

Shen Yan, hiding in the crowd, was somewhat shocked to see Chen Cang boldly apply all the poison in front of Tang Ming and couldn’t quite react.

Although Shen Yan didn’t know how Chen Cang had managed it, seeing the poison being sprinkled on the hock, she also breathed a sigh of relief, not having to worry about Chen Cang messing things up.

"Go ahead, just one bite and you’ll be poisoned to death."

Shen Yan watched Tang Ming with a smirk on her face.

When she saw Tang Ming devouring the hock, she almost couldn’t resist bursting into laughter: the mission was finally complete!

As soon as Tang Ming took the first bite of the hock, Shen Yan raised her hand and started timing on her watch.

Three minutes later, Shen Yan frowned.

"The Poison Sect said it would take three minutes for the poison to be fatal, why isn’t he showing any reaction?"

Five minutes later, Tang Ming had devoured the entire hock and still showed no signs of being poisoned.

"Could it be that the Poison Sect’s poison was exaggerated, and yet it’s been so long with no reaction?"

Shen Yan began to mutter anxiously; she had personally witnessed Chen Cang administer the poison, and Tang Ming had consumed it right in front of her, how could there be any mistake?

"Fly, where did you get this ’seasoning’ from?"

After finishing the hock, Tang Ming looked at Chen Cang doubtfully as the poison power acted up within him, the vast strength far exceeding the poison originally provided by Chen Cang, making Tang Ming realize something was very wrong.

"You, are you alright?"

Chen Cang instantly became tense.

"Answer my question?"

Tang Ming narrowed his eyes, his tone intense as he inquired.
