Wuxia Across the Heavens: I Collect Side Effects

What he feared most was the Thousand Spider Poison Hand. Now, his second mother and her two children were secretly cultivating it and even dared to hide it from him, and even frame Su Ying. This was simply challenging his bottom line!

Second Sister's face turned deathly pale instantly. She trembled with fear and immediately knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly: "Prince, spare me! Prince, spare me! It wasn't me, it really wasn't me who cultivated it! It was Su Xin, he harmed me! He used poison to kill me and the children!"

Her two sons were also terrified and cried loudly, hiding behind their stepmother, trembling and at a loss.

Su Ying stood behind Su Xin, looking at the scene before her with shock in her eyes. She subconsciously looked at Su Xin with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Although she knew that Su Xin's Thousand Spider Poison Hand was different from others, she did not expect that he could do such a thing, leaving poison on others silently.

Su Xin stood still, composed, a faint smile still on his face. He looked at Yin Yewang, his tone respectful yet firm: "Uncle, I would never wrong my second mother. As I just said, I have cultivated the Thousand Spider Poison Hand. I was merely demonstrating its power to you. As for the marks on my second mother and son, they are simply a normal effect of the technique, and I used my internal energy to remove them."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward and, before his second aunt could react, placed his palm directly on her face.

He channeled his inner energy through his fingertips, and the toxin-laden energy slowly seeped into Erniang's skin. The original bluish-black marks gradually faded and dissolved at a visible speed. In just a short while, Erniang's face returned to its former fair complexion, as if the poisonous marks had never appeared.

Su Xin withdrew his hand, turned to look at Yin Yewang, whose face was still ashen, and said in a calm tone with a hint of reminder: "Uncle, why don't you use your internal energy to remove the dark spots on your two nephews' faces? Otherwise, I'm worried that if too much time passes, these dark spots will never be removed."

Yin Yewang's face was so black it could drip water. Although he was furious, he was also wary of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand's toxicity and dared not delay. He quickly stepped forward, placed his hands on his two sons' faces, and circulated his inner energy to carefully neutralize the toxins under their skin.

Compared to Su Xin, Yin Yewang was eliminated much more slowly.

It took half an hour.

The dark spots on the two children's faces gradually faded, and they returned to their original appearance.

After Yin Yewang finished his practice and stepped back, his gaze fell on Su Xin again, then turned to look at Su Ying, his brows furrowed tightly, his heart filled with doubt.

Su Xin has mastered the Thousand Spider Poison Hand, yet there is not a trace of disfigurement on his face. How come he is different from Su Ying who practiced this technique back then?

Could it be that the Thousand Spider Poison Hand technique has really been modified?

Seeing this, Su Ying quickly stepped forward and explained in a calm but confident tone, "Wild King, it's not that the Thousand Spider Poison Hand has been modified. It's that Su Xin's physique is special. When he cultivates this technique, his appearance will not be eroded by the poison, and he will not develop those unsightly black spots."

Upon hearing this, Yin Yewang slowly nodded, his doubts dissipating slightly. However, his gaze involuntarily fell on Yin Li, his worry and wariness remaining undiminished.

He was always worried about his daughter, fearing that she would one day follow suit and practice this evil art that would disfigure her, thus disgracing him, King Yin Ye.

Su Ying naturally noticed Yin Yewang's gaze. Remembering his words earlier that he wanted to take Yin Li away and hand her over to her second aunt to raise, her restraint was instantly broken.

In the past, she had always been tolerant for the sake of Yin Li and to gain a foothold in the Yin family. But this time, Yin Yewang actually wanted to separate her and her daughter, which had directly touched her sore spot.

She knew in her heart that even with her by her side, the second aunt still dared to mistreat Yin Li in secret. If she were not there, and A Li fell into the hands of the second aunt, she could not even imagine the grievances and humiliations she would suffer.

Therefore, there is absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter; this is her bottom line!

In the past, the reason she always tolerated others was simply because she had already lost her internal energy, had no one to rely on, and had left the Yin family. She was taking the young Yin Li with her and living alone in this martial world, which must have been fraught with danger.

But now, when she thinks of Su Xin, of the speed at which he cultivated the Thousand Spider Poison Hand, and of how he is now close to achieving minor success, she feels more confident.

Since that's the case, let's just end it here.

A resolute glint flashed in Su Ying's eyes, her usual gentleness and forbearance vanished, replaced by a firm resolve.

She looked directly at Yin Yewang, her tone calm yet carrying an undeniable determination: "We'll divorce. That way, you won't have to worry about us practicing the Thousand Spider Poison Hand and affecting your reputation, Yin Yewang. I can promise you I'll never marry. But I must take Ali with me; I don't feel comfortable leaving her in the Yin family, with you and Second Mother."

She knew Yin Yewang too well. This man was extremely concerned about his image. If she took the initiative to propose a divorce, he might be furious, but he might not refuse.

But if she remarries in the future, given his personality, he will definitely come looking for trouble.

Fortunately, after all these years of grievances and disappointments, she had long seen through this man. Her lifelong vow of never marrying meant nothing to her. Her only concern right now was Yin Li, and her only trouble was also Yin Li.

She wasn't sure if Yin Yewang would let Ali go.

Upon hearing the words "divorce," Su Xin's eyes lit up, and a surge of joy welled up in his heart.

That's great! I never thought my aunt would finally see the light!

Finally, I'm willing to get rid of this suffocating Yin Mansion and King Yin Ye!

As long as they can leave with their aunt and Ali, they can completely avoid the tragedy in the original story and truly take control of their own destiny.

Yin Yewang's expression changed drastically at this moment, and his anger intensified instantly.

He was extremely concerned about his reputation throughout his life, and now his own wife had taken the initiative to propose a divorce. This was a slap in the face for him, causing him to lose all face.

He stared intently at Su Ying, remaining silent for a moment before finally succumbing to his apprehension and pride, coldly and cruelly uttering, "You can leave, but Ali must stay!"

Before he finished speaking, Su Xin moved slightly and stepped forward again. He quietly channeled his inner energy into his fingertips and, taking advantage of his second aunt's unpreparedness, quickly brushed his fingers across her face. Then, he brushed his fingers across her two sons beside her. His movements were swift, and he withdrew his fingers in an instant.

He turned around, a faint smile still on his face, and looked at the furious Yin Yewang. His tone was somewhat mocking, yet it contained an undeniable confidence: "I'm sorry, Uncle, my hand slipped just now, and I used the Thousand Spider Venomous Hand again. You'd better hurry up and treat Second Aunt and my nephews, or I'm afraid it will be too late, and these black spots will be permanently on their faces, never to be removed."

"You!" Yin Yewang trembled with rage, pointing a finger at Su Xin, his fury uncontrollable. "How dare you! You actually dare to threaten me!"

Su Xin waved his hand, his smile unchanged, but his tone became more serious: "Uncle, you're being too serious. I'm not threatening you, I just feel that since you and Aunt no longer love each other, it's better to let go and wish each other well. As for Ali, do you really think Second Mother will treat her well?"

He pointed to the courtyard and its surroundings, his tone laced with sarcasm: "Look at this Yin residence. This is due north, a place originally for servants. Yet, Aunt and Ali have been arranged to live here by Second Madam. Such mistreatment, and you turn a blind eye. Do you expect a woman like that to take good care of Ali, to treat her sincerely?"

Following the direction Su Xin pointed, Yin Yewang looked at the second aunt, then turned to look at her. His gaze fell on the bluish-black spots on her face, and his brows furrowed instantly, a hint of impatience and disgust rising in his heart.

When the poison was neutralized, the nightmare of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand surged into his mind again, and the look in his eyes when he looked at his second aunt had a similar sense of estrangement and disgust as he had shown Su Ying back then.

Looking back now, I realize I do feel a bit guilty about all the sweet words I said before.

But King Yin Ye would never admit it!
