CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36: HONEST CHILD!

The sound from the Little Poison was not loud, but to those who heard it around her, it was like a thunderbolt, scaring them to the core, leaving them pale-faced.

Those skilled in detoxification must also be skilled in using poison!

Everyone present witnessed the moment earlier when Little Poison casually pulled out a scorpion to detoxify the male lead. This added a touch of mystique to her already enigmatic methods.

Yao Qing’s expression suddenly changed.

Although Little Poison had been residing at the Four Seas Restaurant for two days, Yao Qing was not close to her.

Coming from a prestigious family, Yao Qing looked down on the wild and unruly Little Poison.

If it weren’t for the male lead, Yao Qing wouldn’t have allowed Little Poison to set foot inside.

Upon hearing Little Poison’s words, Yao Qing managed to squeeze out a faint smile, probing: "Xiaoxiao girl, you still love to joke..."

"I’m not joking." Little Poison replied seriously, "I must catch the one who poisoned him, it’s very important to me!"

At this, Yao Qing glanced around subtly, noticing many people’s faces were grim, eyes full of suspicion, and some overawed ones had started retreating towards the exit.

Yao Qing knew she could not delay any longer.

Running a restaurant entails not only exceptional food and drink quality but also the environment, which must be both elegant and safe.

If Little Poison indeed kills someone in the restaurant, the reputation of the Four Seas Restaurant would be ruined!

Thinking of this, Yao Qing took a deep breath, her face darkened as she said to Little Poison, "Xiaoxiao girl, I consider you a friend of Jing’Er, and took you in because you were homeless. But if you dare harm the restaurant’s esteemed guests, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Four Seas Restaurant doesn’t welcome you, please leave!"

Little Poison shook her head, "The master asked me to catch the poisoner. I can’t leave until I find that person."

Yao Qing suppressed her anger and asked, "You say you want to catch the poisoner, then tell me, where is the poisoner?"

Little Poison shook her head again, "I don’t know."

Yao Qing was impatient, "If you don’t even know who the poisoner is, how can you catch them? Stop causing a scene here, please leave immediately or I’ll have someone escort you out!"

Little Poison insisted, "I may not know who the poisoner is, but I am certain he’s here. Xiao Jing brother has been poisoned with a potent toxin, lethal within moments, so the poisoner couldn’t have gone far!"

Learning the male lead was fatally poisoned, Yao Qing’s face changed dramatically, instinctively looking at Zhao Yi beside her.

Just a glance made her withdraw her gaze sharply, as if she had been shocked.

Zhao Yi wore an ambiguous expression, staring at her coldly, apparently offended by her previous attempt to shirk responsibility.

This isn’t over!

Yao Qing felt a mix of fear and dread, looking at the male lead lying on the ground and the increasingly restless guests, she was momentarily overwhelmed.

Yao Qing was never one to deftly navigate social situations, only having achieved her current status under her sister’s protection.

With tensions erupting, Yao Qing simply didn’t know what to do next.

After mulling it over briefly, she decided to target the easiest one to bully.

With a dark face, Yao Qing said to Little Poison, "Xiaoxiao girl, I don’t wish to say anymore, please leave at once or don’t blame me for being rude!"

Little Poison glanced at her and nodded slowly, "The time is almost up."

"What?" Yao Qing was taken aback.

At that moment, someone nearby finally lost patience.

He stepped forward, swearing, "You little brat, stop with the ghost tricks! Still wanting to kill everyone, what arrogance! I’ll stand right here, let’s see how you kill me!"

He then reached out to shove Little Poison.

But just as he took a step, his legs suddenly went weak, causing him to collapse with a thud.

He was initially confused, then his expression dramatically changed, "My legs! I can’t feel my legs!"

Having said this, he looked at Little Poison both startled and furious, "You little brat, what did you do to me?"

Little Poison seemed puzzled, "I’ve said it several times, didn’t you hear me? I said, I’m going to kill you all!"

"Brat!" the man cursed.

A fierce look on his face, he tried to reach for Little Poison, but as soon as he raised his hand, he felt nothing.

Soon after, even his tongue stiffened, unable to utter a single curse!

Seeing this, everyone showed a horrified expression simultaneously.

Those who reacted quickly turned to flee towards the door.

But after just one step, their legs gave out, collapsing straight down.

Their fall seemed to trigger some kind of switch.

Then it was like dumplings being dropped into a pot, everyone was falling down.

In the blink of an eye!

In the vast fifth floor of the restaurant, only Zhao Yi and Huang Ying remained standing.

Zhao Yi ignored the collapsed array of elites.

He observed Little Poison with appreciation on his face.

"This little monster is still as ferocious as ever!"

Contrary to Zhao Yi, Huang Ying showed a grave face, vigilantly watching Little Poison.

If Zhao Yi wasn’t unscathed, she would have already killed Little Poison!

"Master!"

Huang Ying took out a green Detoxification Pill from her pouch, anxiously saying, "Master, please take the Detoxification Pill!"

Zhao Yi waved his hand.

Currently, the Little Poison isn’t the terrifying monster later in the plot that kills gods and Buddhas alike!

Although her methods remain fierce, compared to later wiping out hundreds of thousands of Iron Armor Soldiers with poison, the current Little Poison is still quite immature.

The poison she used now couldn’t even penetrate Zhao Yi’s protective clothing!

Zhao Yi looked around the room, saying to Little Poison, "Enough, extinguish that candle."

Little Poison was momentarily confused, "Master, I still haven’t caught the poisoner!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yi pointed towards the window at a server in a light blue coarse cloth shirt below.

"No need to search, the poisoner is this person!"

Zhao Yi calmly added, "Among all the poisoned people, every face shows anger or fear. Except for this person, whose face displays calm indifference, clearly having moved beyond life and death! Such an anomaly can only be a death warrior who poisoned them, no one else!"

The poisoned people couldn’t move their limbs, but their minds remained very clear.

The server’s face changed dramatically upon hearing Zhao Yi’s comment.

Zhao Yi, seeing this, was increasingly sure of his deduction.

He told Little Poison, "Bring out the antidote to detoxify the nobles."

Little Poison shook her head, "I used a paralysis poison, there is no remedy. But as long as they’re alive, in moments the effect will dissipate on its own."

Zhao Yi nodded, "In that case, let the nobles detoxify here."

At this moment, dense footsteps approached the entrance.

Leading them was a young woman in a light green dress.

As soon as she entered, the heroine saw the unconscious male lead lying on the ground.

The heroine stumbled, instantly losing all color.

Her eyes burned with shock and anger as she glared at Zhao Yi.

"You...you killed him?"
