Chapter 265: Chapter 0265: Waiting to Happen

"I..."

Chen Cang hesitated for a long time, nervously said, "A woman gave it to me. She forced me to poison you, otherwise, she would kill me. I thought you seemed to like eating poison, Tang Ming, so I agreed. You won’t blame me, right?"

"So that’s how it is! Don’t worry, I won’t blame you."

Tang Ming laughed, satisfiedly patted Chen Cang’s shoulder, "You did well this time. Later, when you go to see her, just tell her that the dose of poison wasn’t enough, and it only caused me stomach pain. Then ask her if she has more poison."

"Okay, okay, as long as you don’t blame me, I’ll listen to you!"

Chen Cang nodded his head repeatedly. Although he didn’t understand why Tang Ming wasn’t afraid of poison, as long as the other party didn’t beat him, everything was negotiable. It also gave him an explanation for that woman, and she wouldn’t trouble him.

"Ouch, it hurts so much, I’m going to have diarrhea."

Tang Ming exaggeratedly cried out, getting up to head towards a deserted place to deal with the diarrhea. In reality, he was going to cultivate and refine the substantial poison power within him.

"Is there a reaction?"

Shen Yan’s eyes brightened as she saw Tang Ming’s actions, cursing inside her mind: "The Poison Sect’s poison is just so-so after all, taking so long to take effect."

Shen Yan wanted to confirm Tang Ming’s death from the poison and quietly left the crowd to follow him.

"Miss, wait a moment."

Chen Cang suddenly stopped Shen Yan, helplessly saying, "Your poison didn’t work."

"Isn’t he already having a reaction?"

Shen Yan looked at Chen Cang, puzzled.

"It’s no use, the dose wasn’t enough, it only caused him to have diarrhea."

Chen Cang waved his hand helplessly, "Before this, he’s also eaten some very poisonous things, but due to insufficient dosage, he was fine after having diarrhea."

"You mean there wasn’t enough poison! Lei, the owner of the cold drink hall, said that even a few jins’ worth of poison didn’t affect him before; could that be true?"

Shen Yan muttered to herself.

"The owner of the cold drink hall, Lei?"

Chen Cang was slightly startled, asking uncertainly.

"Hmph, I won’t reveal any information about my employer."

Shen Yan snorted coldly.

"So you’re the assassin he hired."

Chen Cang suddenly realized; previously, he had asked Lei, the owner, to find an assassin to deal with Tang Ming, and the assassin turned out to be this beautiful woman before him.

"You know too much, you can’t be left alive."

A murderous intent surged in Shen Yan’s eyes.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I’m your employer."

Seeing that she was about to kill to silence him, Chen Cang hastily shouted, "I’m the one who asked Lei to spend money to hire an assassin to get rid of Tang Ming."

"You’re lying, you and Tang Ming are friends, how could you hire an assassin to kill him."

Shen Yan didn’t believe a word Chen Cang said.

"It’s true, actually I..."

Chen Cang briefly recounted the grievances between him and Tang Ming, concluding, "I was bullied miserably by Tang Ming, and I had to seek a compromised solution, then asked Lei to hire someone to assassinate Tang Ming. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Lei!"

Shen Yan skeptically took out her phone and called the owner, Lei. After confirming that what Chen Cang said was true, she finally dispelled the murderous intention from her body.

"You’re quite pitiful, don’t worry. I’ll kill Tang Ming soon, so you won’t be bullied anymore."

Shen Yan looked at Chen Cang sympathetically, uncertainly saying, "He wasn’t poisoned to death, is it really because the dosage wasn’t sufficient?"

"It should be, right? How much more poison do you have? Give it all to me. I’ll make him eat all of it at once, and I won’t believe it won’t kill him."

Chen Cang said fiercely.

"Fine, all the poison is yours."

Without any hesitation, Shen Yan handed several packets of poison to Chen Cang and then asked with confusion, "How did you fool him before? You actually poisoned him right in front of his face and he didn’t suspect a thing?"

Holding the few packets of poison, Chen Cang said proudly, "I told him it was Maca Powder that would make men irresistible to women and women irresistible to men. If both men and women take it, the bed won’t be able to withstand it."

"What the heck is Maca Powder?"

Shen Yan was completely baffled by Chen Cang’s gibberish.

"It’s a drug that enhances that aspect of performance. I said after taking this, a guy could be as vigorous as a dragon and a tiger in bed. Then he just believed me."

Chen Cang rolled his eyes speechlessly, thinking to himself evilly, could this lady still be a virgin?

"You... men really are all the same."

Shen Yan cursed angrily and turned to leave.

It wasn’t long before Tang Ming came over, looking refreshed and revitalized.

"Brother Ming, I..."

Chen Cang immediately came forward to report the outcome.

Tang Ming instantly silenced Chen Cang with a look and discreetly glanced in the direction where Shen Yan had left, hinting to Chen Cang that she hadn’t gone far. He then exaggeratedly shouted, "Damn fly, what did you give me to eat, it made me get diarrhea."

Chen Cang, for once catching on quickly, shouted back loudly, "Your diarrhea has nothing to do with my Maca Powder; it must have been the meat that’s bad."

"That’s possible."

Tang Ming nodded satisfactorily and looking at the packets of medicine in Chen Cang’s hand, he asked, "Is this also Maca Powder? I ate a packet just now and it seemed like I only started to feel a bit of the effect. Give them all to me."

"Give it to him, give everything to him!"

Shen Yan muttered anxiously from her hiding place.

"That won’t do; I need to keep some for myself!"

Chen Cang refused at once.

"Idiot, it’s poison; what the hell will you do with it? Give it all to him!"

Shen Yan almost jumped out to beat Chen Cang up after hearing that.

"What would you use it for, huh? If you don’t give it to me, I’ll beat you to death."

Tang Ming threatened fiercely and snatched the packets of medicine from Chen Cang’s hands, pouring them all into his mouth.

"Brother Ming, leave some for me, please!"

Chen Cang shouted anxiously, yet a smile spread across his face, admiring his own acting skills, worthy of an Oscar indeed!

"Well done!"

Shen Yan praised silently, excitedly thinking, "This chubby guy is quite clever, just like that he made Tang Ming eat all the poison. Impressive! But he does look like he’s been badly bullied by Tang Ming. I must take Tang Ming down soon to free him."

"Tastes good; I’m going back to my tent to rest, aiming to take on ten tonight."

After swallowing all the poison, Tang Ming suppressed the poison power exploding in his Dantian, quickly heading to his tent.

Not bothering with Chen Cang anymore, Shen Yan followed Tang Ming at a distance, determined to witness his death from the poison.

Once Tang Ming returned to the tent, he immediately entered a state of cultivation; the poison from the Poison Sect was actually quite beneficial for his cultivation tonight.

Tang Ming stayed inside the tent, cultivating with great enthusiasm as he refined the poison power, while Shen Yan, who was waiting for his imminent death, suffered outside.

Shen Yan had prepared many assassin’s tools but hadn’t brought a tent. She squatted in the bushes not far from Tang Ming’s tent, staring intently at the blurry figure sitting still inside.

With early autumn upon them, the mosquitoes in the bushes at night were ferocious; most people would have been driven away by their bites, but Shen Yan, a highly responsible assassin, hid motionless in the bushes waiting for Tang Ming’s demise, until...
