Chapter 2567 - 2568: Still Haven’t Learned Your Lesson
"She wouldn’t, she’s already learned it. There’s no need to specifically take it and run away, right?" Bai Ruozhu said.
But she would no longer obey what Anben demanded of her. Because she was in despair, and Bai Ruozhu could understand that kind of feeling, just like how she was desperate with her father in her previous life.
Jiang Yichun then sealed Anben’s acupoint, and tied him firmly with a rope in multiple rounds, so that he could no longer move even a finger.
The ninja still standing on the wall angrily exclaimed, "You’ve already controlled the Patriarch, why humiliate him like this?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichun suddenly struck Anben’s face with the hilt of his sword, "Now this is called humiliation, right? Since you mentioned it, I had to comply."
"You..." The ninja was so angry he trembled, nearly falling off the wall, finally muttering something in Fusang Language.
He thought Jiang Yichun wouldn’t understand, but Bai Ruozhu understood.
Bai Ruozhu drew out her dagger and suddenly struck it towards Anben’s face, scaring the ninja into shouting, "Stop!"
However, Bai Ruozhu didn’t cut Anben’s face but struck it with the side of the dagger. Yet she didn’t hold back, leaving his face red and swollen.
"You think you still have the right to curse people now? Seems like you don’t want your Patriarch to have peace." Bai Ruozhu said and retorted the curse in Fusang Language, causing the ninja’s face to change drastically. He realized he had brought this upon himself.
"Is my husband someone you can curse? Slap him!" Bai Ruozhu said and struck Anben’s face again with the dagger.
At this moment, Anben couldn’t speak or move, frustratingly glaring at Bai Ruozhu, as if he wished to bite her.
The ninja on the wall grew anxious, "Stop, I was the one who cursed, leave our Patriarch alone."
"You’re too far, I don’t want to go over there. Besides, since he’s the head of the family, it’s his duty to bear your mistakes. So I’m hitting his mouth." Bai Ruozhu said with a cheerful smile, but the ninja shivered. The woman’s smile was bright, yet there was a murderous aura, making him not dare further provoke her lest all they retrieve is the Patriarch’s corpse.
Previously he thought they wouldn’t dare, killing the Patriarch would mean they wouldn’t leave Fusang alive, but now he realized he was gravely wrong, what wouldn’t they dare?
Smack, just as the ninja was in a daze, the dagger struck Anben’s face once more.
The ninja’s face changed dramatically, hurriedly slapping his own face hard, then switched hands and slapped his face again, hitting with strength as his face swelled and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
"Are you satisfied now?" he asked through gritted teeth.
Bai Ruozhu sneered, "You’re faithful, but you’re probably unaware of our Danliang Country’s rules. Cursing an official of the Imperial Court warrants at least ten slaps. Don’t tell me this is Fusang, in our presence, follow our rules."
She spoke overbearingly and irrationally, and her dagger spun casually in her hand, with the sharp edge almost cutting Anben’s face repeatedly.
The ninja gritted his teeth, slapping himself repeatedly, while Jiang Yichun callously counted, ignoring the initial two slaps and starting from the beginning. The ninja knew they were doing it on purpose, but he endured and struck himself ten times.
During the process, Bai Ruozhu casually remarked, "Don’t try to skimp, otherwise I don’t mind demonstrating how hard you should slap."
The demonstration would clearly involve using Anben, so the ninja gritted his teeth, slapping even harder, further swelling his originally thin face to look like a pig’s head, even spitting out blood foam.
When he finally finished, Bai Ruozhu smiled with satisfaction, "Remember, be cautious when speaking. Not everyone can be cursed."
The group behind Fo Lanying nearly laughed out loud, finding this couple too wicked, yet seeing their antics amusingly satisfying. Indeed, it was right to stick with them, as life was much more entertaining now.
At this moment, Bai Ruozhu deliberately freed Anben’s mute acupoint, asking, "Patriarch Anben, do you have anything to instruct your subordinates?"
Anben spat towards her, but Bai Ruozhu slightly shifted her body to evade.
"I won’t let you get away with this, don’t think you’ll leave Fusang alive!" he snarled through his teeth.
Jiang Yichun promptly struck his face with the sword hilt again, as if tenderizing pork, without restraint.
"In your current condition, still trying to threaten us? Believe it or not, we won’t let you walk out of this posthouse alive?" He spoke while grinding his teeth, "It’s been a while since I killed anyone, my sword is thirsty for blood."
Bai Ruozhu swiftly kicked the back of his knee, causing Anben to falter and kneel to the ground with a thud.
"Anben, you’ve suffered so much loss already, why haven’t you learned to behave?" Bai Ruozhu raised an eyebrow looking at him, "That spat just now was poisoned too, your poison techniques are indeed impressive. Given that, why don’t we place a bet and see if you can resolve the poison I’ve applied?"
Saying that she took out several medicine bottles, smiling brightly, "Considering you’re a master poison master with the ’Poison Classic’, using too little poison would be an insult to you. I’ve had these stocks for a long time without a chance to use them."
The ninja on the wall quickly shouted, "Stop! We agreed to exchange ’Poison Classic’ for people, how can you not keep your promise and poison the Patriarch?"
Bai Ruozhu glanced at him, "When did I promise not to poison? You could use poison on ’Poison Classic’, I’m just reciprocating."
Anben gave Bai Ruozhu a surprised look, inwardly cursing: How did she know!
He didn’t suspect Lingzi, since she hadn’t returned yet. Could it be that Bai Ruozhu was really that meticulous?
He originally thought Bai Ruozhu would be too ecstatic upon getting the ’Poison Classic’, and it was a perfect time for carelessness. He had hinted for Lingzi to apply the most potent poison on ’Poison Classic’, waiting for Bai Ruozhu to be poisoned and see how arrogant they would be then?
But the plan was unraveled before going further, and even if he pretended nothing happened, the other party was prepared, how could they fall into the trap?
"’Poison Classic’ was always toxic. If you’re scared, don’t touch it." He decided to taunt her.
Bai Ruozhu sneered again, "No worries, if you’re not afraid, why should I be? Anyway, I’ll let you try it first, you’ve seen it and learned a lot, you surely aren’t afraid."
This time Anben’s face changed drastically, fear flashed through his eyes, evidently, even he dreaded the most potent poison, possibly having no antidote.
Bai Ruozhu silently observed his reaction, coldly smiling inside, a poison master unable to detoxify isn’t very formidable after all.
