Chapter 808: Chapter 0808: Efforts in Vain

"By the way, what did you put in this food?"

Chen Cang looked at Gao Ya and said suspiciously, "It seems you didn’t tell me beforehand, and you’ve prepared bowls and chopsticks for me. Are you planning to kill me too?"

"How could that be?"

Gao Ya frowned slightly and said with a smile, "I naturally have a way to save you, let’s not talk about this now, lest he finds out."

"Okay."

Chen Cang nodded and didn’t say anything more.

Gao Ya quickly got up to tidy the bowls and chopsticks, using this to cover her guilty conscience.

Earlier at the hot pot restaurant, she dared to eat the poisoned food because she had an antidote to ensure she wouldn’t die.

This time, however, because there was no way to save him, she risked being discovered and used the excuse of dieting to avoid eating. As for whether Chen Cang lived or died, she had not considered it at all.

After rushing into the restroom, Tang Ming locked the door and sat cross-legged on the floor to start frantically cultivating.

He still didn’t know what Gao Ya had fed him, but he was sure that it was more terrifying than any poison he’d ever consumed. It contained a huge amount of destructive energy, and if he didn’t timely cultivate to digest it, even he might be in danger.

As he continued cultivating, a painful expression appeared on Tang Ming’s face. This was the first time in a long while that he felt such pain from eating. It was clear that whatever Gao Ya had fed him was truly terrifying.

A few minutes later, a pungent black mist emerged from his mouth, and white smoke rose from his body.

"I’ve broken through." Tang Ming’s eyes suddenly widened. While controlling his cultivation, he continued to channel True Qi, feeling astonished. The substance that Gao Ya had fed him was so terrifying that after refining it, his cultivation broke through directly to Seven Stars.

"Wow, I really can’t let Gao Ya find out that I’ve discovered her identity."

Tang Ming slowly stood up, washing his hands and face while muttering to himself, "This girl has good stuff. It actually allowed me to break through a level of cultivation. I’ll have to get her to give me this kind of good stuff a few more times. Then I’ll really be successful."

After freshening up, Tang Ming walked out of the restroom, smiling as he looked at Gao Ya and Chen Cang, who were chatting on the sofa.

"What’s going on?"

Seeing Tang Ming come out unharmed, Gao Ya was stunned. He had not been affected at all. Did this guy’s stomach have the strength of steel?

"Oh my goodness! What is this smell? It’s awful."

Chen Cang, relieved, covered his nose and shouted in disgust.

"Is there?"

Tang Ming moved his nose, realizing that during his breakthrough, his body had excreted a lot of impurities, causing a smell. But because he had been in that environment, he hadn’t noticed.

"Sorry, sorry, I stayed in the restroom for too long, so there’s a smell on me."

Tang Ming smiled awkwardly and glanced at Gao Ya, "By the way, before I went to the restroom, Yaya was about to say something? What did she mean by ’you actually’?"

"Ah."

Gao Ya finally reacted and said awkwardly, "I said you actually had a stomachache. I’m so sorry, it’s all because you ate my food that caused this trouble."

Gao Ya secretly wiped a cold sweat. She had thought Tang Ming would die from the poison, which is why she had let her guard down a little. Fortunately, he had interrupted her before she finished speaking, otherwise, she would have been completely exposed.

"This has nothing to do with you. Even if there was a problem with your food, my stomach wouldn’t react so quickly. It must be the hot pot from lunch that’s causing it. Don’t blame yourself."

Tang Ming laughed it off and said awkwardly, "I smell too bad and need to go back and change my clothes. I won’t chat with you today. Chen Cang, shall we go?"

"Okay, okay, it’s too smelly, let’s hurry back and clean up."

Chen Cang covered his nose and said, "I used to smell good, but now Tang Ming has stunk me up. I need to go back and shower."

"No."

Gao Ya immediately spoke, pulling Chen Cang back, "I came over specifically to see him. I’m short on time, and he needs to stay with me tonight. You should go back first, alright?"

"Huh?"

Chen Cang was shocked and instinctively wanted to break free from Gao Ya’s hand. This woman was a lesbian. Was she eyeing him to stay overnight?

"Alright, you two should have a lot to catch up on, so I won’t disturb you."

Tang Ming unhesitatingly abandoned Chen Cang, turned around, and walked out, "Taking advantage of the fact that my stomach isn’t acting up, I’ll head out now. We can meet up another time. It would be terrible if my stomach acted up on the way."

Without waiting for them to respond, Tang Ming left the room, determined to wash off the strange smell and experiencing his new Seven Stars level quietly.

"Gao Ya, what do you plan to do?"

After Tang Ming left, Chen Cang looked at Gao Ya warily.

"What can I do with you?"

Gao Ya let go of Chen Cang’s hand and said in frustration, "I put chemical substances in the food. How come he’s completely fine?"

"What chemical substances?"

Chen Cang looked at Gao Ya in confusion.

Gao Ya then explained the chemical concoction she had made, "Those things should be able to corrode even steel, but Tang Ming ate them all and only had a stomachache. It’s totally unreasonable."

"Sigh! I thought you had some methods. If I had known this, I would’ve told you not to waste your efforts."

Chen Cang sighed, looking at Gao Ya helplessly.

"What do you mean?"

Gao Ya frowned in confusion.

"That Qin Zhuang also used a similar tactic. She made a bomb cake, which would react with stomach acid and explode when eaten."

Chen Cang exaggerated, "It was a bomb, much scarier than your chemicals. But Tang Ming was fine after eating it, and Qin Zhuang ended up blowing herself up. Isn’t that weird?"

"If you put it that way, it is indeed strange."

Gao Ya nodded.

"That’s nothing. Tang Ming has many terrifying abilities. The most extreme time was when I saw him eat an explosive directly."

Chen Cang continued boasting helplessly, "I once tried to blow him up with a bomb, but he just ate the explosive right in front of me. Isn’t that terrifying? I reckon that’s why our plan to blow up the Liu Building failed. He must have eaten all the bombs."

"This is too unbelievable; a person eating explosives like that."

Gao Ya was shocked. Earlier, she had found Chen Cang’s stories about Tang Ming hard to believe, but now she had to accept them as facts.
