Chapter 82: New Poison
Ye Lingyue didn’t believe that her main missions were things like teaching scumbags a lesson or something as lousy as picking water from the well.
Upon hearing her question, the System’s imaginary eyes suddenly lit up. If its host already was asking about the main mission, it meant that she might be interested in finishing it, right?
It hadn’t told Ye Lingyue before for fear of annoying her.
[Host, with your wits and power, you should be able to complete this mission...]
She waited impatiently, wondering why the System was so dramatic and deliberately keeping her for suspense. [What is it?]
[The first one is... you all must survive and prosper! Then, the second one, you must lead your family to clear your names from the guilty charge.]
Her lips parted slightly, and she took a deep breath. Thankfully, she already prepared herself that the mission wouldn’t be easy, and... she was right.
The System’s words of flattery were only empty words. How could it be easy for her to clear the family’s name? It was difficult!
[Easy your head!] She cursed inwardly.
The System shrank back, not understanding why its fierce host was angry again.
Ye Lingyue absentmindedly scrolled down the system’s shop interface as she grinded the herbs. Subconsciously, she reached some familiar items in the shop.
[Aren’t these modern times’ items?] She exclaimed in surprise. Then, she hissed. [Stinky System, why are these items priced so high? Are you joking with me? One toothpaste is a few tens of millions of points...]
Her current number of points were only in the tens of thousands after she bought the medicine for Song Yulan last time.
The System immediately explained.
[Host, these items aren’t something that should exist in this era, so the higher-ups decided to raise the price to make sure that transmigrators from the modern times won’t abuse it.]
Ye Lingyue clicked her tongue. [Why not just erase it from the shop?]
The System couldn’t answer her question, so it decided to stay silent.
As she chatted with the System, she finally finished grinding the poisons. She exclaimed, "All done!"
"Yue’er, what did you make?" Ye Lingrui asked.
Ye Lingyue began to laugh a little creepily and gave her two curious elder brothers a mysterious look.
The trio went out again to gather more supplies. They needed to make sure that they would be able to hold out for at least two months with the supplies.
After they bought a few sacks of rice, they went to a secluded place to make sure that no prying eyes saw Ye Lingyue putting the sacks of paddy rice inside her space storage.
As expected, the bandits came over again to make trouble for them, surrounding them from all directions. Their number even increased.
"You can’t run away anymore." The boss stared at them coldly.
They had been waiting for these siblings to come out again for so long.
If they couldn’t catch them while they still stayed in the market, they were already planning to deal with them once they exited the market.
The bandits cracked their knuckles and gave the siblings malicious gazes. However, compared to a few hours ago, the siblings were no longer as tense as before.
There was even a hint of excitement in Ye Lingyue’s eyes.
"They will be the first to taste this poison that I had just created," she muttered. "I wonder how potent the effect will be..."
Ye Lingrui twitched his mouth while Ye Lanxi sounded eager at her words. "Let’s do it!"
Despite being outnumbered, this time, they didn’t run away like before. Ye Lingyue wanted to test whether her skills had gotten rusty.
They mostly relied on the poisons before in order to quickly pass certain areas without wasting too much time fighting. With such a chance presented in front of her, she fought to her heart’s content.
She kicked, punched, jumped at them.
Although her build was thin and small, it became her power. Most of them couldn’t easily catch her, and before they knew it, they were already punched in the eyes.
It didn’t take long before dozens of people became paralyzed on the ground. They could only stare at the siblings, eyes filled with hatred.
"Second Brother, here," Ye Lingyue gave Ye Lanxi a small bottle. Worried he might pour the entire content onto one person, she didn’t forget to remind him. "Use it wisely."
Ye Lanxi snorted with a regretful look on his face. "Fine!"
When he saw his sister’s suspicious expression, he immediately jumped away and began to put the powder in the bottle into their mouths.
The bandits could only wriggle around with their bodies, their voices muffled; their silent protest with their eyes rendered useless.
"Eat it, this is my sister’s new product," Ye Lanxi muttered as though he was a salesman. "Be proud, you are the first ones to taste it."
They were all horrified when they heard his words. Some already had tears streaming down their faces because of the frustration.
It didn’t take long for the three siblings to finish letting the bandits have a taste of it. Ye Lingyue already perched on a tree, silently pondering her current power.
She could easily take down three men at the same time provided that she was in peak condition. However, she was still not satisfied. It was still far from her peak power as Shen Wuqing.
In the distance, Ye Lanxi was taunting some of the bandits, making funny faces. Meanwhile, the bandits’ faces were already turning red due to anger.
"Tsk, why does it take so long to take effect?" Ye Lanxi muttered. He turned to his younger brother. "How long will it be?"
However, Ye Lingrui also shook his head. "Yue’er will know better."
Ye Lanxi clicked his tongue. "I wonder what the effect will be... will these people turn into a puddle of blood?"
The bandits’ eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when they heard that.
Soon, the pair of brothers found out...
