Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 142 Exposing their tricks!

As evening fell, the lights of Shrek City began to twinkle.

Wangyuelou is located in the most bustling area in the north of the city and is a restaurant famous for its superb night view.

The private room "Tingyuxuan" on the third floor, located by the window, had already been booked, and four exquisite celadon tableware sets were placed on the table.

Zhou Yi arrived early.

She did indeed wear the black stockings Huo Yuhao had requested, paired with a well-tailored dark green cheongsam that perfectly accentuated her mature and voluptuous figure.

She wore light makeup, which concealed some of her weariness and revealed a charm rarely seen on her usual face.

Zhou Yi remained restless, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her cheongsam, her eyes frequently drifting towards the door.

"Teacher Zhou, relax."

Sitting next to him, Huo Yuhao lowered his voice and glanced at the pot of tea that had already been brewed on the table.

"Everything is going according to plan. After they have had their tea and appetizers, it will be another fifteen minutes before the drug takes effect. That will be enough time for us to 'discover something amiss' and then 'panic' and 'call for help'."

He emphasized the words "call someone".

Their plan was to "discover" that Mu Jin and Dai Yuntian were "disregarding ethics and morals and engaging in promiscuous sexual relations," and then "accidentally" attract the attention of the restaurant staff and other diners, thus escalating the situation.

It's worth noting that most of the people dining here have some connection to Shrek Academy.

If this gets out of hand, it'll be enough to ruin their reputations!
The medicine in that porcelain bottle was a potent aphrodisiac that Huo Yuhao had bought at a high price.

When mixed into tea and certain dishes, it becomes colorless and tasteless, and its medicinal properties are extremely potent. It is said that even a Soul Saint would lose his mind and be left with only instincts after taking it.

"Yuhao, I..."

Zhou Yi was still very nervous; her palms were sweaty.

Only when the moment came did she realize the seriousness of the matter more clearly.

If they succeed, Mu Jin and Dai Yuntian will be utterly disgraced.

But what if she fails, or what if it gets found out later...? She didn't dare to think about it.

"Teacher Zhou."

Huo Yuhao suddenly grasped her icy hand, his eyes burning with a fervent, obsessive gaze: "Think about how they usually treat us? Mu Jin mocks you, Dai Yuntian is aloof and arrogant, and everyone revolves around them!"

"We've suffered so much injustice and hardship; this is the retribution they deserve!"

Zhou Yi took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "I understand, proceed according to plan."

Just then, footsteps and Mu Jin's cheerful laughter came from outside the private room.

“Yun Tian, ​​this is it, ‘Ting Yu Xuan’. I didn’t expect Zhou Yi to have such a good eye for places.”

The door was pushed open.

Hibiscus was the first to walk in.

She had clearly dressed up carefully today, wearing a pale yellow fitted dress that accentuated her fair skin, and her long, soft hair cascading over her shoulders.

Her pretty face was adorned with a smug, spring-like smile.

Behind her followed Dai Yuntian, who had a calm expression and was dressed in simple casual clothes.

"Mujin, Dai, you've arrived. Please have a seat."

Zhou Yi immediately stood up, a warm smile spreading across her face.

Mu Jin's gaze swept over Zhou Yi's eye-catching cheongsam and black stockings, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. She thought to herself, "Why is this woman dressed like a prostitute today?"
However, she remained outwardly calm, nodded gracefully, and sat down in the main seat as if she were the one hosting.

"No wonder Teacher Zhou went to such lengths to choose such a nice place."

Mu Jin picked up the cup of tea that had already been poured on the table and gently sniffed it: "Hmm, good tea. Teacher Zhou's outfit today... is also very unique."

It was impossible to tell whether the tone was praising or criticizing.

Mu Jin looked at Huo Yuhao: "And who is this?"

"Oh, this is my student, Huo Yuhao."

Zhou Yi quickly introduced Huo Yuhao, gently pushing him forward: "Yuhao, quickly greet Teacher Mu."

Huo Yuhao stepped forward, lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes, and bowed respectfully: "Hello, Teacher Mu. Teacher Zhou said that he wanted to apologize to Teacher Mu today, so he asked me to come and learn from him and broaden my horizons."

"Huo Yuhao? I vaguely remember him."

Mu Jin nodded casually.

Dai Yuntian, standing to the side, glanced at Huo Yuhao more, becoming more wary.

Soon, the restaurant staff began serving the dishes.

One after another, exquisite dishes were placed on the table: braised crab meat lion's head meatballs, braised dried bean curd strips, crystal pork jelly, squirrel-shaped mandarin fish... all with perfect color, aroma and taste, making one's mouth water.

Zhou Yi greeted them warmly, personally picking up the teapot to add tea for Mu Jin and Dai Yuntian: "Teacher Mu, student Dai, have some tea to soothe your throats first. This place's lion's head meatballs are exceptional, you should try them."

Soon, after several rounds of drinks and several dishes, Zhou Yi and Huo Yuhao also ate some of the dishes that had been laced with drugs.

Although the two had taken the antidote beforehand, it only provided partial relief, and they were still feeling inexplicably hot at this moment.

Zhou Yi's cheeks flushed, her breathing became slightly rapid, and under the cover of her cheongsam, her legs unconsciously rubbed together gently.

Huo Yuhao felt a heat rising in his lower abdomen, and his gaze toward Zhou Yi became even more intense.

Mu Jin gradually became more talkative, discussing everything from anecdotes about the academy to her teaching experiences. Although her tone still carried a hint of superiority, she was noticeably more relaxed.

She felt a little hot, but thought it was because of the alcohol and the warm room, so she didn't pay much attention and drank a few more sips of soup.

Dai Yuntian didn't say much, just ate quietly, occasionally chiming in with a few words.

But he keenly sensed that Teacher Mujin's eyes seemed to be starting to glaze over, and her cheeks were abnormally flushed.

A strange heat also rose within Dai Yuntian's body, but it was immediately suppressed by his ultimate ice soul power.

He frowned almost imperceptibly.

Not right.

Dai Yuntian put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi's eyes darted around, clearly looking guilty.

As for Huo Yuhao... although he kept his head down, his tense body and the occasional malicious glances he gave Mu Jin and himself did not completely escape Dai Yuntian's notice.

Is it tea? Or a dish?

Dai Yuntian's mind raced, recalling Zhou Yi's trick of urging the two of them to eat earlier.

He glanced at Mu Jin, who seemed to be starting to lose her balance and was looking at him with watery, dreamy eyes, and then at Zhou Yi and Huo Yuhao, who were clearly waiting for something across from him, and sneered inwardly.

So I was waiting here.

Want to play such a despicable trick?

Just as Mu Jin felt her head getting increasingly dizzy and her body becoming so weak that she could hardly sit up, and even involuntarily wanted to lean on Dai Yuntian, Dai Yuntian suddenly stood up.

"Teacher Mu seems to be feeling unwell, so I helped her to the window for some fresh air."

Mu Jin mumbled a soft "hmm" in her sleep, leaning almost half her weight on Dai Yuntian, her warm breath brushing against his neck.

Zhou Yi and Huo Yuhao were overjoyed at the sight.

The medication is taking effect!
And it was even faster than expected!
Huo Yuhao immediately followed the plan, feigning panic: "Teacher Mu, what's wrong? Did you drink too much? I'll go ask the waiter to get some hangover soup."

As he spoke, he turned to run outside, preparing to carry out the step of "calling for help".

"No need."

Dai Yuntian's calm voice rang out, carrying an invisible chill that instantly froze Huo Yuhao in his tracks.

Dai Yuntian, supporting the dazed and weak-looking Mu Jin, did not walk to the window. Instead, he turned around and looked coldly at Zhou Yi and Huo Yuhao.

"Zhou Yi, Huo Yuhao, the taste of this tea and food seems a bit unusual, don't you think?"

The color drained from Zhou Yi's face instantly.

Huo Yuhao looked at Dai Yuntian with a look of astonishment and disbelief.

That's impossible! I used three whole packs of it. Even a level 79 Soul Saint couldn't withstand that!
How come he seems... alright? And so lucid?!

"Dai Yuntian, what do you mean by this? Is there... something wrong with this dish?"

Zhou Yi forced herself to remain calm.

"You know what I mean."

Dai Yuntian's lips curled into a mocking smile. He tightened his grip on Mu Jin's hand slightly, and a pure and icy soul force quietly flowed into Mu Jin's body, helping her suppress and dispel the effects of the medicine.

The cool breeze stirred Mu Jin's drowsy consciousness, bringing it back to a sliver of clarity.

She looked up blankly and saw Dai Yuntian's profile so close to hers, and then saw the pale faces of Zhou Yi and Huo Yuhao opposite her.

Feeling the unusual heat and weakness in her body, even she, who was slow to realize, would realize something was wrong!
"Zhou Yi, what...what have you done to me?!"

Mu Jin was both shocked and angry. She tried to stand up straight, but her limbs were still weak.

Seeing that his plan had been exposed, a glint of madness flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

He knew he couldn't wait any longer.

Suddenly, he pulled another small paper packet from his pocket.

That was a backup sleeping potion that Huo Yuhao had prepared, intending to forcibly administer it to Dai Yuntian!

However, in Dai Yuntian's eyes, his movements were as slow as a snail.
