Chapter 272: Chapter 0272: Poisoned to Death?

Tang Ming was eating happily, but Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli felt somewhat depressed. They both disliked Shen Yan and Mei Dufeng, the uninvited guests. No one would want a mentally ill person in their home.

However, since Tang Ming had beaten Mei Dufeng to that extent, and since Shen Yan was treating them to apologize, Liu Mengting felt it inappropriate to drive them out. They had no choice but to eat the food prepared by Uncle Quan to avoid being poisoned.

Tang Ming knew that both Mei Dufeng and Shen Yan were dangerous people, always guarded against them harming the two women. After finishing the meal, he sat on the sofa to sleep.

"Do your poisons even work? This guy has already eaten so long ago, why isn’t there any reaction?"

While helping Mei Dufeng clean the wound, Shen Yan hummed silently and asked.

"This guy must have a Detoxification Pill on him. The reason I snatched his things was because I feared he’d take an Antidote!"

Mei Dufeng responded in an extremely faint voice and then smiled, "Don’t worry, I’ve already snatched the Detoxification Pill. This time, he will definitely die from the poison. Let’s just wait!"

"I’ll trust you one more time."

Shen Yan nodded.

Afterward, the father and daughter stared intently at Tang Ming, anticipating something to happen next.

Tang Ming was sitting on the sofa, seemingly asleep, but in reality, he was secretly practising his cultivation to digest the poison power of the Myriad Poison Pill. The poison he had ingested these past few days was beneficial for his cultivation. If he had time to focus on cultivation, it would elevate his cultivation to the next level.

Of course, worried about being discovered by those two, Tang Ming was very cautious while practicing his cultivation. He showed no sign of abnormality and was constantly aware of their movements.

One minute, two minutes...

The sky outside had already turned dark, yet Tang Ming still showed no symptoms of poison inducing sudden death.

"Why isn’t there any reaction yet?"

Shen Yan muttered in despair.

"Just wait a bit longer, maybe he’s already dead!"

Mei Dufeng responded unwillingly.

"These two really are persistent. I’ve already finished my cultivation, and they still haven’t left!"

Tang Ming felt helpless inside, a strange idea flashing through his mind.

"Clatter!"

Suddenly, Tang Ming’s head tilted, and his body collapsed onto the sofa.

"Brother Tang Ming, what’s wrong with you?"

Li Xiaoli, who was playing with her phone, looked at Tang Ming puzzled.

"Don’t mind him, who knows what trick he’s pulling now?"

Sitting not far away, Liu Mengting was also playing with her phone and spoke without lifting her head.

"Alright!"

Li Xiaoli didn’t think much of it and continued playing with her phone.

"It seems like there’s a reaction."

Mei Dufeng excitedly looked at Shen Yan.

"Don’t show any flaws, I’ll go check."

Shen Yan held Mei Dufeng back, then moved closer to Tang Ming, placing her finger under Tang Ming’s nose to check his breath.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Li Xiaoli, who had been paying attention to the "father and daughter," immediately put down her phone and shouted.

"It’s nothing, I thought this gentleman seemed to be asleep, and I just wanted to greet him before saying goodbye!"

Shen Yan casually explained and then pushed Tang Ming’s body slightly, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"How is it?"

Mei Dufeng looked at Shen Yan anxiously.

"He’s already dead, his body is stiff!"

Shen Yan confidently stated.

Mei Dufeng abruptly stood up, leaping towards Tang Ming, and reached out to check Tang Ming’s pulse, only to find that Tang Ming had no pulse and his body was as rigid as a rock, a symptom that usually occurs only well after death.

After confirming Tang Ming’s death, Mei Dufeng burst into excited laughter, "Hahaha, this is perfect! Turns out this guy has been dead from poison all along. I’ve been waiting for so long, and that hamburger was indeed a Detoxification Pill!"

"Old man, what’s gotten into you?"

Li Xiaoli, unable to bear it any longer, walked over with a bad temper, "You two have been lingering around here for so long, it’s already nine o’clock. Aren’t you leaving yet?"

"Hmph, you brat, how dare you speak to me like this, do you know who I am?"

Mei Dufeng immediately regained the demeanor of a Poison Sect master, looking menacingly at Li Xiaoli.

"Aren’t you just a crazy old man? Why are you yelling at me?"

Li Xiaoli placed her hands on her hips, threatening fiercely, "Believe it or not, I’ll have Dingdang Dog bite you."

"Who exactly are you people, and what do you want?"

Meng Ting realized the situation was bad and immediately stepped forward to pull Li Xiaoli back, guarding warily against Mei Dufeng and Shen Yan.

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing, my dad’s just having another episode!"

Shen Yan quickly intercepted Mei Dufeng, whispering, "Uncle, what we’re doing isn’t exactly honorable. Showboating like this could get you struck by lightning. Since the man is dead, we should be leaving immediately to avoid trouble."

"What’s there to be afraid of!"

Mei Dufeng waved his hand imperiously, "With that kid’s threat gone, I can kill anyone in this villa easily, worst case I..."

"So noisy, will you let people sleep!"

Just then, Tang Ming’s impatient voice suddenly sounded.

"A ghost!"

Shen Yan and Mei Dufeng screamed at the same time, jumping backward, staring incredulously at Tang Ming’s "corpse".

"Is he not dead?"

Shen Yan looked toward Tang Ming with an unpleasant expression, "No way, I checked, he was definitely dead!"

"I checked too, he was completely dead, could this kid have been playing dead?"

Mei Dufeng swallowed hard, staring fixedly at Tang Ming.

"I’m so sleepy!"

Tang Ming sat up, yawned, and looked up at Shen Yan and Mei Dufeng, asking annoyed,

"Crazy old man, what were you just doing, yelling and waking me up, looking for a beating?"

"Hiss hiss tear!"

Seeing that Tang Ming truly had revived, Shen Yan and Mei Dufeng involuntarily gasped, thinking of Tang Ming’s formidable power, both began to tremble.

"I, I had an episode just now!"

Mei Dufeng was quick to react, apologetically saying, "Intermittent mental illness, sorry, sorry."

"Right, right, my dad had another episode just now, so he started yelling nonsense!"

Shen Yan immediately agreed.

"If you’re sick, hurry up to the hospital. Why linger in my house?"

Tang Ming waved his hand impatiently, "Seeing that your daughter treated me to a big meal, I won’t beat you up. Just go!"

"Okay, okay, I’ll take him to the hospital right now!"

Shen Yan, frightened out of her wits, kept muttering about taking her father to the hospital but turned and ran away herself.

"Hey hey, daughter, you’re taking me to the hospital."

Seeing Shen Yan abandoning him, Mei Dufeng called out pitifully and then hastily chased after her.

"These two are really sick, they actually wanted to kill someone just now!"

Li Xiaoli came to her senses, cursing angrily, "We can’t let mentally ill people into our house anymore."

"Exactly! Tang Ming, if people like this come again, just throw them out directly, they are so rude!"

Meng Ting also rarely snapped back fiercely.
