Chapter 52: Lu Jiu Que and the Greedy Old Man, Simply Inexplicable! (Part 1)

The sloppy old man zoomed in, then miraculously, the snake meat was snatched from Ye Hui and ended up in his hands. Without another word, the old man stuffed it into his mouth. Instantly, his eyes lit up.

“Woah…. This is superb! Young lady… You’re really so unkind. How can the snake meat you roast for your Brother Hui be so much more delicious than the one you made for me, a little old man?! That won’t do, it won’t do! You’re being biased!”

Ye Hui was so furious that his face was twisted with rage. He stood up and scolded him angrily, “You’re just an old geezer who doesn’t know self-respect, so how am I supposed to show you respect? Give me back the snake meat!”

The old man was so afraid that Ye Hui would come and snatch it from him that in two big bites, he swallowed all the snake meat and said, “Hehehe. Come and snatch it from me now! Come and get it!”

Ye Hui was so mad that he was fuming!

He was on the verge of uprooting the graves of the old man’s ancestors. Never in his life had he come across such a shameless person!

Suddenly, a voice from behind them coolly said, “Did you really eat everything?”

The old man and Ye Hui both felt their spines stiffening at the same time. How could it be a coincidence that they simultaneously felt a sudden gust of wind?

With a stiff neck and twitching mouth, the old man said, “Young lady, yes… yes! I ate it all. Anyway, if you want me to, I can also throw everything back up for you!”

However, Lu Jiu Que casually lifted her brows and smiled. “There were extra ingredients added to the snake meat. Was it good?”

The old man froze as he suddenly thought of something, then there was a drastic change in his facial expression.

At the same time, a feeling that seemed capable of brewing storms over seas formed in his stomach, compelling him to cover it with his hand. Looking as though he had seen a ghost, he shouted, “You, you, you… What did you add to this snake meat?” That was impossible. If she had poisoned the meat, how would he not have been able to tell?!

Who the hell was this girl?!

Lu Jiu Que took out a very plump fruit that was scarlet red in color. Lifting it to her mouth, she took a bite. Then, shaking it, she said, “Here. This is it.”

The old man felt a sudden contraction of his butt muscles as he exclaimed, “What?! Red thorn berry?!” Red thorn berries weren’t poisonous at all!

Lu Jiu Que placed the fruit, which was as beautiful as red ruby, in her hands and tossed it around. Baring her teeth in a wide grin, she said, “Of course, red thorn berries aren’t poisonous. They even taste delicious, but if they’ve been heated up with a mixture of dragon tongue grass and purple gold grass, they become poisonous. Don’t worry! It’s also not a very strong toxin. It’s just going to force you to stay next to the toilet for an entire day and night, that’s all. Well, you’ll get even healthier after having diarrhea; it’s detoxification! Hahaha! Let’s go, Ye Hui!”

Lu Jiu Que smiled so smugly that it made the old man’s nostrils flare from the anger he was feeling.

Darn it, what was this bullsh*t about it being for her Brother Hui? He had risked his life for this. This little girl had deliberately said such a thing to mislead him and make him steal the young man’s food. She had long set her mind to poison him!

Such a scheme was so black-hearted, so vicious… She…

Like the old man, Ye Hui was also frightened that at this moment, he too, became nothing more than a fool.

Crap!

If having diarrhea for one whole day and night wasn’t enough to make it a “very strong” toxin, then was this defined as nothing?

Suddenly, a matter of utmost importance came to his mind. Ye Hui’s eyes widened in astonishment, and he said, “Wait, what if I accidentally ate some of that snake meat? What should I do?”

Lu Jiu Que rolled her eyes at him and said, “Consider it a detox.”

“Huff…” Ye Hui was also so angry that he also let out a breath of exasperation, “Lu Jiu Que! You… You… You’re so—!”

Lu Jiu Que replied, “Alright, let’s cut the crap. We have to hurry up and leave. Eat some red thorn berries to fill your stomach.”

Ye Hui didn’t say anything. Who in the world would still dare to eat those?!

The old man saw that the two of them intended to leave, yet he could also feel that he was losing control over a certain function of his body and that it was about to burst soon. He could only cover his butt and clamp both legs tightly together. Without moving at all, he roared, “You, wait! What did you say her name was? Lu Jiu Que?!”
