Chapter 266: Chapter 0266: It Must Be Fake Medicine

The sun rose from the east, the morning glow like splendid brocade.

Shen Yan’s hair, wet with dew, was still fixed on the tent without blinking; her once tender and moist cheeks were now swollen with numerous mosquito bites.

"Damn it, that bastard didn’t just sit there and die, did he?"

Shen Yan cursed under her breath. Logically, even a seated person would fall over if they died, but Tang Ming’s shadow hadn’t moved at all, making Shen Yan hesitant to check. If he wasn’t dead, it would be her bad luck.

While Shen Yan was caught in her dilemma about whether to check or not, the tent flap was pulled open, and an invigorated Tang Ming came out, stretching languidly and exclaiming with satisfaction, "Maca Powder from dead flies is really the best, rejuvenating, brilliant!"

"He’s seriously not dead?!"

Shen Yan’s eyes bulged in disbelief as she stared at Tang Ming, feeling an urge to cry. She had spent the whole night feeding mosquitoes, only for it to end like this.

Today the school trip officially ended, and all the students were packing up, ready to head back.

At the parking area near the entrance of the scenic spot, Shen Yan was scratching the mosquito bites on her body as she said to Chen Cang standing before her, "It seems the poison really didn’t affect Tang Ming, but don’t worry. I’ll definitely find another way to kill him."

"I personally saw him swallow all the poison. Could it be the poison you bought was a fake?"

Looking at Shen Yan, who just yesterday was distinguished and beautiful but now resembled a spotty-faced cat, Chen Cang had to restrain his laughter as he solemnly said,

"Then I’ll have to rely on you. You’ve seen how Tang Ming bullies me, always threatening to beat me to death. I’m counting on you to rescue me!"

"Don’t worry, taking people’s money to dispel their disasters is my duty."

Shen Yan nodded earnestly, advising him, "Suffer a bit longer. Since he still seems to trust you, continue to tolerate and appease him, and act as my inside agent. I will come to you when I think of a method."

Could the Poison Sect really have sold me fake goods? Shen Yan didn’t voice it, but doubt about the poison’s authenticity had crept into her mind.

"No problem."

Chen Cang readily agreed.

"Bro Cang, Bro Cang!"

Just at that moment, Monkey and Xiao Jun came running over holding something in their arms.

"These two idiots!"

Chen Cang’s face changed slightly. Glancing at Shen Yan, he attempted to send his subordinates away, shouting loudly, "How come you two are just coming back now? Hurry up and pack your things, we’re going home."

"Bro Cang, we’ve got the good stuff you asked us to prepare."

Xiao Jun, holding a high-end Lingzhi gift box in his hand, exclaimed excitedly, "This time it’s definitely the good stuff, guaranteed to satisfy you."

"Lingzhi?"

Shen Yan’s eyes lit up. She had heard that Lingzhi could beautify the skin and seemed to be very effective against mosquito bites.

"Bro Cang, who is this freak?"

Once they got closer, Monkey looked at Shen Yan with astonishment.

Hearing this, Shen Yan’s face chilled, while Chen Cang was nearly paralyzed with fear.

This was a female assassin who killed without blinking, yet Monkey was practically courting death.

"Keep it cool, these two are my brothers, no harm done by the ignorant."

As Chen Cang tried to soothe Shen Yan’s fury, he bellowed at Monkey, "This is... my granny, now hurry up and apologize."

"Huh?" Monkey and Xiao Jun were baffled; they’d never heard of Chen Cang having a granny.

"Hmph, let me see that Lingzhi."

Shen Yan snorted coldly, snatching the Lingzhi from Monkey’s hand and opening the package.

"Granny, what are you doing?"

Chen Cang asked in confusion.

"Great stuff, full of medicinal power!"

Shen Yan’s eyes shone brightly as she stared at a high-grade Lingzhi in her hand, breaking off a piece and rubbing it on a large mosquito bite swelling on her left arm, hoping to reduce the swelling and relieve the itching...

Seeing Shen Yan’s actions, Chen Cang and the other two were dumbfounded, that was... Poisonous Ganoderma!

"Ah!"

The very next second, Shen Yan let out a shrill scream as smoke began to rise from the place on her arm where she had rubbed it.

"Quick, throw it away, that thing is poisonous."

Chen Cang shouted in horror, fearing that if this ancestor took her anger out on him, it could be deadly.

"Poisonous Ganoderma?"

While trying to control the poison, Shen Yan roared angrily, "What are you doing with this thing, trying to harm me?"

"Granny, this was prepared for Tang Ming, intended to poison him to death, I didn’t tell you to touch it!"

Chen Cang cried out with a look of misery on his face; he had touched it once and almost ruined an arm, and here this woman was using it as a skincare product, it was just too messed up!

"You, you..."

Hearing that Chen Cang had intended to use it against Tang Ming, Shen Yan couldn’t really let out the anger boiling inside her, and it also confirmed again that Chen Cang truly wanted to put Tang Ming to death, so she was even less able to flare up.

"Wait for my message!"

Shen Yan covered her arm with her clothes and quickly got into the car and drove off, knowing she had to deal with it fast or her arm would be ruined.

Seeing Shen Yan run off, Chen Cang let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as though he had taken a turn at the gates of hell.

"Cang, what’s going on here?"

The Monkey asked Chen Cang, completely bewildered.

"Ah, Xiao Jun and I spent a whole night getting a Poisonous Ganoderma, and now it’s all broken!"

Xiao Jun looked at the Lingzhi on the ground, broken by Shen Yan, with a pained expression.

"You two idiots, I almost got killed because of you, pack up your things now, we’re going home!"

Chen Cang roared angrily, knowing that if Shen Yan had lost her temper just now, their lives would’ve been on the line.

On the school bus back, Tang Ming nearly died laughing after Chen Cang recounted Shen Yan’s miserable state.

"This unfortunate assassin, ever since she took on my job, it seems like she hasn’t had a single good day."

Recalling all the ways he had toyed with Shen Yan, Tang Ming couldn’t help but remark, "This person really is persistent, to still not give up on killing me even after all this."

"Brother Ming, actually it was me who asked Boss Lei to find an assassin to deal with you, but now there’s no way to cancel the order, you’re not mad, are you?"

Chen Cang looked at Tang Ming anxiously, afraid of being beaten up again.

"Thanks to you, I’ve had plenty of good things to eat, I should probably be thanking you!"

Tang Ming waved his hand nonchalantly, looking out the window and thinking, "Chen Cang nearly lost an arm with just a touch of the Poisonous Ganoderma, I wonder how miserable that woman is going to be this time, it’s just too interesting."

The school bus sent all the students back to school, and then the students dispersed, each to their own home, to find their own mothers.

Shen Yan drove away from Laojun Mountain, treating her poisoned arm as a matter of urgency. Luckily, as an assassin, she was knowledgeable about poisons and carried antidotes with her, otherwise her arm would have been useless.

Looking at her arm that used to be as white and tender as a polished jade, now turned pitch black and wrapped in bandages, Shen Yan almost cried, growing angrier the more she thought about it.

"What crap poison did the Poison Sect sell me, it’s not as effective as that Poisonous Ganoderma, it must be some fake medicine."
