Chapter 1812: Let’s See How Long You Can Keep Up That Tough Talk

"Xue Qi, you caused my mother to be separated from her sister. How can you still have the face to come here and lecture me? Does your conscience not ache?"

Yun Xiao’s face was full of darkness. His breath was weak, but his eyes were fixed on Xue Qi. The moment these words were spoken, Xue Qi’s face looked even more venomous.

From the simple conversation between this man and woman, the bystanders realized a fact: the genius girl from Emperor Canglong Palace, Xue Qi, really had a significant connection with Yun Xiao.

However, just now Xue Qi also said that Yun Xiao was from the Lower Realm of Tenglong Continent. How could he possibly have any association with the genius of Emperor Canglong Palace? It clearly defied logic.

"Could it be that Xue Qi once went to the Lower Realm and wiped out Yun Xiao’s family?"

Some people let their imagination run wild, fully utilizing their creativity, thinking this wasn’t impossible. Otherwise, how could a man and woman with no connections meet and act like such lifelong enemies?

"Ladies and gentlemen, listen carefully. This genius from Emperor Canglong Palace once was a poor baby abandoned in the snow. My mother kindly took her in and raised her, yet years of nurturing resulted in a thankless wolf!"

Yun Xiao seemed deeply poisoned and had vomited blood twice, yet at this moment his speech was full of vigor, and his words conveyed a vast amount of information.

Combining the previous conversation between Yun Xiao and Xue Qi, these people’s minds were filled with a vivid picture.

A woman, passing through the snow, picked up a female infant abandoned by her biological parents and took her home, treating her as her own daughter.

For some unknown reason, Xue Qi eventually betrayed her mother and brother. Considering how this woman became a super genius of Emperor Canglong Palace, although the process might have been intricate, one could guess most of it.

After understanding these connections, most of the honest half showed a hint of disdain, thinking that even if Yun Xiao’s parents weren’t Xue Qi’s biological parents, a decade of nurturing kindness should not be repaid with betrayal.

"Oh no, that guy is really despicable!"

Meanwhile, as several honest Medical Pulse Masters felt disdainful, one Poison Vein Master shouted, quietly retreated two steps backward.

"What?"

Such a cry left those observing somewhat confused, wondering how Yun Xiao’s mere description of the truth was deserving of such shock and calling him despicable.

"Think about it, that person is now a peerless genius of Emperor Canglong Palace. If such a secret were known to us, would she let us spread rumors easily?"

The Poison Vein Master quickly responded, making everyone change color, thinking it was truly possible. Such an ugly affair wouldn’t be something any genius would want known by everyone.

If initially those watching didn’t think Xue Qi would kill to silence them, now their mood was far from pleasant, and their gaze toward Yun Xiao became rather hostile.

Originally, some Medical Pulse Masters felt a bit of sympathy for Yun Xiao, but now it seemed that guy was dragging everyone down! He was about to die from poison, why pull so many along with him? Simply detestable.

"Meeting your end, yet still clinging to verbal advantage!"

Yun Xiao’s truth left Xue Qi’s face so dark it was almost dripping water, but for the established facts, she didn’t know how to refute.

And when Xue Qi saw the youth’s face full of black spots, clearly deeply poisoned, her mood improved a bit. Her sharp-tongued brother could not escape her grasp.

"Hmph, I’ll see if, facing death or extreme pain, you’ll still be so stubborn?"

As this thought settled in her mind, the corners of Xue Qi’s mouth curled into a smile of delight. She felt a cat playing with a mouse joy; in absolute power, any "slander" would become fleeting.

As for those who had heard such secrets today, Xue Qi had no plans to spare them. Everyone present would become souls under her hand.

"Yun Xiao, I give you one last chance. If you kneel before me and beg, call me sister, perhaps I’ll give you a swift end, or possibly spare your life. Not an impossible thing."

Xue Qi, full of pride, no longer bothered to argue with Yun Xiao. Instead, she grinned, locking her gaze on him, her tone in a "sincere" manner, leaving the bystanders deep in thought.

If it were an unrelated outsider making such a choice, it wouldn’t be difficult at all. But for Xue Qi to propose such a condition, she knew her stubborn brother would never easily agree.

Xue Qi understood, since the Shang Family massacre, the moment she revealed Yun Xiao bore the Blood Moon Jade, this family of three no longer saw her as family, but mortal enemies.

Xue Qi originally thought that the entire family of three would be hard to escape from danger, yet she didn’t anticipate Yun Xiao hadn’t died, and even Shang Li and Yun Wei, mother and daughter, might also be alive.

Of course, Xue Qi didn’t know about Yun Wei’s appearance at the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference back then, but with Yun Xiao’s mysterious survival, she clearly became more vigilant, and things were no longer as absolute as imagined.

So Xue Qi knew that asking Yun Xiao to call her sister again would be extremely hard to utter, but she just had to use this method to bend the pride of the boy in front of her. Only then might her inner resentment find a complete release.

It’s said a woman’s heart is as mysterious as the bottom of the ocean, despite Xue Qi’s initial betrayal, now she’s forcing Yun Xiao to admit fault. What kind of logic is this? Perhaps it’s just the logic where the bigger fist is the logic.

"Pah, a shameless traitor seeking glory by betraying one’s mother! You dare dream of being my sister? Ridiculous!"

Such a request, how could Yun Xiao possibly agree? If not for wanting to toy with Xue Qi a bit more, he probably would have unleashed his methods long ago. This shouted insult also made Murong Sou secretly cheer.

At this moment, Murong Sou could no longer see Yun Xiao as a person of the Emperor Canglong Palace. Not to mention Yun Xiao had killed so many people from the Palace before, just the confrontation with Xue Qi made him a major enemy of the Emperor Canglong Palace.

Moreover, from Yun Xiao’s words, Murong Sou could also guess some past occurrences of this "sibling" pair, and he felt extreme disdain for Xue Qi’s despicable actions.

"Let’s see how long you can keep up your stubbornness?"

Yun Xiao’s response naturally wasn’t what Xue Qi wanted. Since he was so unappreciative, let him taste the ravaging of deadly poison.

"Yun Xiao, do you really think the poison refined by me, Xue Qi, is just that simple?"

While Xue Qi was changing the seal in her hand, she softly continued, "Next, you will experience endless pain. If you can’t bear it, just call me sister, and sister will surely relieve your pain!"

Xue Qi’s voice seemed to carry a strange magic and an unspeakable terror, making even the onlookers in the distance involuntarily shiver with chills.

Although Xue Qi spoke lightly, reaching the level of Half-step Holy Rank, the poison couldn’t possibly be simple. Once it exploded, counting all those present, no one could endure the ravaging of that poison.

This is the real reason Poison Vein Masters are dreaded; sometimes you might not fear death, but dying from endless pain is something nobody dares to claim they’re unafraid of. Xue Qi, being a Poison Vein Master, undoubtedly possesses such means.

"It seems you’ve made your choice!"

The sight of the boy with a dark face still staring at her with blazing eyes filled Xue Qi with immense disgust. As she spoke coldly, she clenched her jade palm.

Boom!

At the same time, even those far-off observing cultivators could sense an immense aura suddenly bursting forth from within Yun Xiao. This aura was filled with a strange sensation, clearly the result of the erupting poison cast by Xue Qi.

"Under my poison, Xue Qi’s poison, no matter how bloody or brave you are, you’d kneel and beg for mercy!"

Xue Qi was naturally very confident in her poison; after expressing her confident words, she was ready to relish Yun Xiao’s writhing in pain. She believed this scene would soon unfold.

"Hmm? This boy is indeed a High Rank Poison Vein Master; he has quite strong resistance to poison!"

However, moments later, when Xue Qi saw Yun Xiao, whose face was still glowing black, still standing in the same spot, her heart moved, but she didn’t pay too much attention.

Though Xue Qi couldn’t sense Yun Xiao’s Half-step Holy Rank Power of Soul, she knew this boy before her had once achieved dual championships at the Meridian Refining Conference on Tenglong Continent, not only being a Medical Pulse Master but also a Poison Vein Master.

Being a Poison Vein Master means having some poison resistance, which is natural, but in the world with numerous poisons, mere resistance can only last for a while and can’t truly dissolve the poison already in the body.

Moreover, the poison Xue Qi unleashed this time was refined by her own hands; even her teacher, the Canglong Empress, likely doesn’t know the ingredients of this poison, let alone Yun Xiao before her.

Facing Poison Vein Masters, the only way is not to let their poison touch you, otherwise, even if you’re one small realm higher, the final result could be a bitter death.

"Let’s see how long you can hold on?"

With endless confidence, Xue Qi believed Yun Xiao was just holding out. As the poison erupted throughout his body, no matter how strong the poison resistance, there couldn’t be any other outcome.
