CHAPTER 276: CHAPTER 267 JIN YAO PANICKED_1

Jin Yang surveyed the mess on the ground and Si Yan sitting there quietly. A faint pang of pain actually arose from the depths of his heart.

He touched his heart, frowning. Si Yan is my sister, after all. It’s normal for me to feel a bit uncomfortable that she’s been bullied.

He stepped forward, lowered his voice, and asked, "Si Yan, why don’t you investigate who sabotaged your contest entry?"

Si Yan turned around, looking very surprised at Jin Yang’s sudden show of concern.

"Isn’t it obvious who touched my things?"

Jin Yao grew very nervous. She immediately moved in front of Jin Yang, attempting to distract him. "Sister Si Yan, the person who destroyed your things is just too cruel."

Si Yan hooked the corners of her lips in contempt and disdain. "Is that so? I think so too."

Si Yan lazily shifted her posture and continued casually, "Actually, last night, to prevent anyone from sabotaging my work, I sprinkled a little witch medicine."

Jin Yao’s pupils dilated slightly, her heart thumping wildly.

She sprinkled witch medicine? What kind of witch medicine? How could I not know?

Si Yan continued, "When I checked just now, I found the witch medicine had also been destroyed. That proves the culprit who sabotaged my things must have encountered the medicine last night. I don’t have to worry about not finding the malefactor. After all, she’ll be in for quite a bit of discomfort soon."

Jin Yao blurted out anxiously, "What kind of witch medicine?"

Si Yan looked up at her.

Jin Yang also turned his gaze towards Jin Yao. Is my sister Jin Yao looking a bit anxious?

Si Yan’s smile deepened. "It’s poison I concocted myself, one that no one else can cure."

Jin Yao felt a surge of panic, struggling to maintain her composure and avoid suspicion.

It was she who had her Guardian Beast, the Beastman Zheng Shan, act last night. As a reward, after the deed was done, they mated.

She promoted him from Guardian Beast to her Beast Husband.

If he had come into contact with the poisoned witch medicine without knowing, could he have transmitted it to her during their mating last night?

Jin Yao grew even more panicked.

She tried to reassure herself. No, Jin Yao, you’re a Witch Doctor yourself! Even if Si Yan concocted poison, you can cure it!

Jin Yao, feeling guilty and with a somewhat dry throat, said, "Si Yan, you’re being somewhat malicious. Someone just destroyed your stuff, and you want to take their life?!"

Jin Yang had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Si Yan’s words.

He wasn’t pleased that his sister had been bullied, but if she retaliated and taught the perpetrator a lesson, that was good.

But after hearing Jin Yao’s words, Jin Yang frowned slightly.

Malicious?

Something doesn’t seem right.

Si Yan laughed, her voice laced with a hidden sting. "Malicious? What a joke."

"If the other party harbors no ill will, then peace will prevail. But if they intend to cause harm, I certainly won’t be merciful."

Jin Yao’s face turned green with anger.

Regardless of whether she herself was infected, the male she had brought in to do the deed yesterday was the most loyal of her Guardian Beasts, and her favorite.

She had only wanted to give him a small opportunity to become one of her males. Furthermore, since they had mated last night, he was now hers.

But now, she couldn’t ask Si Yan for the antidote, nor could she admit she was the one who ordered the sabotage. Si Yan had obviously harmed him, and might even harm her, yet she couldn’t say a word.

Si Yan, watching Jin Yao’s stifled expression, felt pleasantly uplifted.

Jin Yang suppressed the slight doubt in his heart and, looking at his sister in the rain, felt an increasingly indescribable emotion rising within him.

This emotion, tinged with anger, left him confused. He was itching to teach the perpetrator a lesson on Si Yan’s behalf!

He said, "Regardless, you must find the Beastman who sabotaged your contest entry. You need to make the culprit pay!"

Si Yan coldly shifted her gaze. "I’ll do it without you telling me to."

Jin Yao returned to her spot in a daze.

She was panicked, unable even to focus her attention on her own work.

So Si Yan said those things yesterday on purpose! She deliberately set a trap for me to fall into!

She’s not a good person!

She began to feel a bit of fear at last.

She started to monitor her body for anything unusual, but so far, she felt nothing.

It’s fine, there shouldn’t be any problem.

Si Yan must just be trying to scare me!

After the crowd dispersed, Si Yan stretched her body while the snake Beastman squatted down to massage her hands and feet.

Si Yan laughed, "Guess which medicine I used on her?"

He looked helplessly at the little trickster and smiled. "It’s definitely not anything good."

Si Yan couldn’t help but laugh softly. "I’ll tell you a secret. It’s the ’Gluttony Constipation Powder’ I developed in the legacy world. Once it gets on someone, they become gluttonous, but no matter how much they eat, they just can’t defecate. This medicine is quite insidious. I usually wouldn’t use it."

"They won’t feel anything for the first day. But what about after four or five days, when their stomachs are full but they still can’t defecate? Their stomachs will explode!"

Si Yan leaned back with a mischievous, squinting smile. "If they don’t want to burst from overeating, I’ll wait for them to come begging me."

Compete in malice? I’m your ancestor in that!

Tai Seng and Jin Tong quickly returned after collecting the materials. Not just them, other Beastmen also brought many of the materials Si Yan needed.

Although many people delivered materials this time, which technically broke the rules, Myriad Beasts City and the other wise ones turned a blind eye.

Tai Seng and Jin Tong both knew how to make sweet potato flour, and they quickly got started.

Washing the sweet potatoes, peeling, steaming, adding water, rubbing, filtering, settling.

They completed all these steps in one day.

As for the pottery, Si Yan used extra mud to build a few more kilns.

Since the charcoal was still there, Si Yan fired several pots simultaneously. Pottery firing took a full day and night, so now she just had to wait for the next day’s results.

「That night, upon returning」

Jin Yao was in a fury in her cave dwelling.

"Zheng Shan! When you went to do the job yesterday, didn’t you see the powder that little bitch sprinkled?"

The lion Beastman looked somewhat shocked and shook his head. "Mistress, I didn’t notice when I went there last night..."

He exclaimed, "I... Did I transfer the powder to you yesterday? Do you feel unwell?"

In the cave, the faces of the other three Golden Crystal Beasts darkened.

Shi Bai, the Golden Dragon Beastman who was the Zheng Xiong among the three Golden Crystal Beasts, said, "Mistress Yao favored you and gave you this opportunity, yet this is how you handle things? Absolutely useless!"

"That’s right! If you transferred the poison to the Mistress, Zheng Shan, you’re dead for sure!"

The Purple Crystal lion Beastman suddenly knelt down with a THUD.

Jin Yao asked in panic, "Zheng Shan, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Zheng Shan shook his head. "No, I don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere."

Jin Yao also said in confusion, "I haven’t felt uncomfortable anywhere either."

"Mistress, could that female be trying to scare you on purpose?"

Jin Yao shook her head. "I had considered that, but it’s unlikely."

The more Jin Yao thought about it, the more anxious she became.

Without knowing what kind of poison she had been exposed to, it was impossible to prepare an antidote.

Zheng Shan asked, "Mistress, should we continue to sabotage her work today?"

Jin Yao was in a terrible mood and snapped impatiently, "Go? After what we did yesterday, they’ll definitely be on guard today. Going now would be walking right into their trap!"

That Si Yan... she’s not as easy to deal with as I thought.

More than the competition, Jin Yao was worried about her own body.

"I’ll go find Old Fourth," Jin Yao stood up. She still had the affection of the four males of the Jin Family, so even if something happened, she wasn’t afraid.

Jin Yao said, "Shi Bai."

The Golden Dragon Beastman, who was the Zheng Xiong, stepped before her.

Jin Yao reached out and tugged his hand.

"After I return from Old Fourth’s place, you’ll sleep with me."

Shi Bai tenderly stroked Jin Yao’s hair.

He was the only one among her males who didn’t have to address her as Mistress.

"Ah Yao, I’ll go with you."
