During the Qin Dynasty, he was in charge of the net.

Li Ji and Tian Yi left. Before they left, he exchanged five bottles each of Pillow Flower Sleep, Heart-Pounding, and Daughter's Makeup.

After Li Ji left, the entire stone hall erupted in chaos.

"This...is really..."

Someone's Adam's apple bobbed, and he stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.

What just happened was truly unbelievable, beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

The three poisons, namely, "Sleeping with Flowers," "Heart-Tethering," and "Daughter's Makeup," may not be the poisons with the shortest onset time from the Luo Wang poison.

However, these are the three most intractable, insidious, and deadly types of poisons.

These three types of rare poisons are not made from one or two kinds of poisons, but from a dozen or even dozens of highly toxic substances.

Because they understood these poisons, they were even more unable to comprehend how anyone could safely drink such a rare and potent toxin.

"That person... is probably no longer human!"

The voice of the second-ranking officer, whose name was "Kill," trembled as he looked toward the exit of the stone hall, his tone filled with an unspeakable awe:

"Perhaps we are making a fuss over nothing; that one is actually a demon in human skin."

How could a demon disguised as a human become the top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization?

He thought no one would believe him, but to his surprise, someone next to him immediately chimed in:

"I have personally witnessed large quantities of fresh raw meat being delivered daily to a secluded courtyard on the fifth floor of the underground palace."

And that place was precisely the residence of that lord!

These words caused a great stir, and the whispers in the stone hall grew even louder.

Someone asserted confidently, "In my opinion, that must be a thousand-year-old snake demon in human form, otherwise how could it have safely drunk such a potent poison?"

But someone immediately retorted, "That's not right! When I patrolled the fifth floor at night, I heard a faint, deep tiger's roar around that courtyard."

That creature is definitely not a snake; it is clearly a tiger demon who has cultivated into a human-shaped mountain lord!

For a time, everyone held their own opinions and argued endlessly.

Speculation about snake demons and tiger demons circulated quietly within the stone hall.

Although there are several versions of the story, they all share a common understanding:

Their top-ranking member of the Luowang organization, Lord Duanshui, is definitely not human, but rather a demon in disguise!

Everyone knew how terrifying those strange poisons were; any one of them was enough to kill more than a dozen experts at the "Kill" level.

The dose that person just drank was enough to easily poison more than a hundred ordinary martial artists.

Such illogical methods can only be explained by the word "monster" or "exotic".

They then recalled the rumors surrounding several other top-ranking individuals.

Lord Yanri, who has no shadow.

Shingo-sama, who can come back from the dead.

The Soul-Transforming Master who absorbs people's yang energy.

......

Now, another one has been added: Lord Duan Shui, who has taken human form as a demon.

It seems that there are very few normal people among those in the highest rank.

For a time, even the group of assassins from Luo Wang, who were often called madmen and perverts, felt a little confused.

Can they really reach the highest level in their lifetime?

The strangeness and perversion of the top-tier students far exceeded their imagination.

As for the deputy envoy, Wu Lu, he fainted after retrieving fifteen bottles of poison for Li Ji.

After severing his own arm, he was left here by Li Ji for most of the day. The pain and blood loss made him teeter on the verge of collapse.

Having witnessed Li Ji taste three kinds of rare poisons, she lost her composure and fainted.

Seeing this, several guards from the secret vault quickly appeared from the darkness and carried the deputy envoy of the secret vault to see the physician.

......

Li Ji, who returned to the courtyard, was unaware that the rumor that he was a demon in human form had already spread throughout the Luo Net.

After drinking the three bottles of the strange poison, the intense thirst in his body had mostly subsided.

Not only that, he even felt a special feeling of fullness in his stomach.

He had a feeling that after drinking those poisons in the stone hall, he could go for ten days or half a month without eating.

Just then, Li Ji noticed something unusual behind him.

He calmly turned slightly to the side and casually grabbed something with his right hand.

He caught a pair of wristbands that shimmered with a dark silver light in his palm.

Isn't this the pair of Xuanwen Cold Iron wrist guards that Tian Yi changed to?

A hint of doubt flashed in Li Ji's eyes as he turned to look at Tian Yi behind him.

Tian Yi remained silent as she followed Li Ji back to the courtyard.

She stood a few steps away, her face covered by an iron mask, exuding a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay.

Her hand, which had just thrown out the wristband, was still suspended in mid-air. When she saw him turn around, she offered no explanation and turned to leave the courtyard.

Li Ji lowered her eyes to look at the wristband in her hand, which she had obtained after exchanging most of her merit points.

She even clashed with Qin Fu and the deputy envoy of the secret treasury over this.

If he hadn't been there, even if she had given up the wristband later, she would have had all her merits deducted and been imprisoned.

But now, she throws the wristband at him and is about to leave without saying a word, which is rather unusual.

Li Ji recalled what had happened in the stone hall and suddenly had a realization.

Earlier in the stone hall, when he took poison one after another, Tian Yi behind him seemed to pull him back several times.

At the time, Li Ji was experiencing the changes in his body after taking the poison, so he didn't pay much attention to her.

That must be why she was angry.

Having figured this out, Li Ji flashed forward and stood in front of her.

Tian Yi paused, looked directly at him, and said:

"Get out of my way."

Before she could react, Li Ji stretched out his long arm, grabbed her slender waist, and gently pulled her into his embrace.

"Aren't you going to explain those wristbands?"

Tian Yi remained calm even as he embraced her, and looked up at him, saying:

"If you don't want it, give it back to me."

Upon hearing this, Li Ji was slightly taken aback, but then immediately realized what he meant.

So, she's going to give him these black-patterned cold iron wrist guards?

Li Ji's heart stirred slightly, and he replied:

"I didn't say I didn't want it. This wristband is very nice, I'll accept it."

In fact, when he was still a second-class killer, this wristband was a pretty good treasure.

However, with his current strength, these wrist guards are basically useless to him.

In fact, instead of giving him the credit for replacing this wristband, it would be more worthwhile to give him two bottles of Pillow Flower Sleep Pillow.

Upon hearing that he was willing to accept it, Tian Yi suddenly removed her mask, revealing her aloof and stunningly beautiful face.

Her gaze first fell on Li Ji's face, then slowly moved down, finally settling on his lips:

"You drank that poison, are you really alright?"

Upon hearing this question, Li Ji smiled faintly:

"If something had happened, would I still be able to stand here and talk to you?"

In fact, the poison he drank in the stone hall was completely digested within moments.

That's why Li Ji was able to feel the thirst disappear so quickly.

But Tian Yi seemed somewhat disbelieving. Suddenly, she raised her hand, gently cupped his chin, and slightly tiptoed.

Cool, soft lips pressed heavily against Li Ji's lips.

Li Ji half-opened his eyes, looking at the aloof face in front of him.

This woman is truly fearless.

He had previously drunk poison in the stone hall, and everyone around him avoided him like the plague.

And yet, she dared to come closer without any regard for the consequences.

Faced with Tian Yi's clumsy kiss, Li Ji neither responded nor avoided it, but simply stood quietly, gently embracing her.

For a moment, only the soft breathing of the two people remained in the courtyard.

After a long while, Tian Yi finally believed that he was indeed alright.
