Chapter 2722: Poisoned 1

Editor: Henyee Translations

At first glance, Gu Chaoyan mistook the cluster of green Spirit Stones for an unusual object, only to realize it was actually a snake—a revelation that nearly startled her out of her wits.

However, as the white tiger gently nudged the little green serpent, any apprehension melted away. It seemed the creature harbored no ill intent.

With a sense of relief washing over her, Gu Chaoyan accepted the snake, albeit uncertain of how to care for it.

In a decisive move, she retrieved a silver needle from her belongings and began administering treatment to the white tiger. After carefully inserting the needles and cleansing the wounds with spiritual spring water from her space, she watched in awe as the injuries healed at a rapid pace.

Once the white tiger was bandaged once more, Gu Chaoyan reassured it, “Your life is no longer in jeopardy. With time and rest, you’ll fully recover. As for this little green snake, you’ll have to tend to it yourself.”

“…”

“As a reward, give me this leopard’s corpse.”

Having said the words, Gu Chaoyan put them away.

Then, she turned around and left.

She wondered if she could get a pet beast.

The white tiger got up and followed her. There was a small green snake coiled around its head.

When Gu Chaoyan turned around, the white tiger pounced on her, bit a small wound on her finger, and then dripped her blood on her forehead and the little green snake’s forehead.

Huh?

Gu Chaoyan was dumbfounded.

Did they take the initiative to form an alliance with her?

In the blink of an eye, there were two pet beasts.

But…

She was just injured.

There was also a small green snake. It was so small. What could it do?

She sighed.

She brought them around to see if they could find other pet beasts.

Unexpectedly, after shopping for a few hours, there was not even a bird on his head.

She could only go out.

The giant tiger and the little green snake couldn’t accompany them on their journey, so Gu Chaoyan stowed them away in her space. Given the tiger’s need for recuperation, it was best left there for the time being. However, when Gu Chaoyan attempted to bring the snake out, the tiger insisted on caring for it, displaying an unexpected sense of responsibility.

Luckily, the small snake didn’t require much space. Though Gu Chaoyan initially planned to set up a designated area for it in the room, it wound itself around her wrist, blending in seamlessly.

Content to let it be, Gu Chaoyan decided against sleeping despite the early hour. With time ticking away, she opted to occupy herself with a book and a cup of tea.

Yet, as she took a sip, a sharp pain pierced her head, signaling that something was amiss—the tea was tainted!

Helplessly, Gu Chaoyan glanced at her snake companion, who seemed equally puzzled by the situation. In that moment, she couldn’t help but think that perhaps her tiger companion wasn’t the only one lacking in wits—her own judgment had faltered too.

Drinking tea can kill you, I’ll see you again.

If it had known earlier, it would have paid more attention.

It was sensitive to poisonous gas, but it did not expect its master to…

What should he do now?

Calling for help? That was basically impossible.

It went to smell the poison in the tea.

It was quite poisonous. This master’s cultivation level could die.

After some thought, it decided to bite her.

She had cured a lot of the poison, but there was still one more thing. She would be fine when she woke up.

Knowing that there was no big problem, the little green snake was relieved.

To it, it was not a big problem if it could not die.

When Gu Chaoyan was discovered, it was Huailan who came to look for her.

Seeing the unconscious person, Huailan was shocked. “Guards!”

When the Heaven Emperor saw him, he was lying on the ground with a pale face.

His expression twisted with fury.

To think he could be poisoned within his own Heavenly Palace!

It was utterly intolerable…

Without hesitation, he dispatched investigators to uncover the source of the treachery.

Meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan swiftly organized efforts for detoxification.

The investigation swiftly yielded damning evidence—it was none other than Qi Yue, the daughter of the Leader Sect of One Sect, who had orchestrated the poisoning.

With brazen nonchalance, Qi Yue confessed to her actions.

“I poisoned her. She’s nothing more than a disobedient maid,” Qi Yue admitted casually.
