Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Risking It to Tease Her a Few Words_1

The three of them took the slices, brought them to their nostrils, and sniffed. They immediately noticed a light, delicate fragrance emanating from them—the scent was very unique and pleasant.

Nong Xuele didn’t even think twice before popping a piece into her mouth, chewing it as if it were just a normal slice of radish.

Nong Fanfei and Ding Xiaoyang watched Nong Xuele simultaneously; though also from the Nong family, not everyone possessed Nong Xuele’s supernatural resilience to all poisons—it was a divine gift bestowed upon her.

"Mmm, this is delicious! This stuff must be at least as effective as a hundred-year-old ginseng! And it’s tasty without causing heatiness, you can just eat it like potato chips, no need to stew it, truly amazing!" she exclaimed.

As she spoke, Nong Xuele stretched out her hand and said, "Senior, give me another piece, oh no, just give me the whole radish."

You smiled and sliced another piece for Nong Xuele, then handed the fruit knife to Xiao Feng beside you, letting them cut some for themselves.

Ding Xiaoyang was skeptical. He tried a piece, and, swallowing it skin and all, he quickly turned to Nong Fanfei and said, "Fanfei, with this stuff, the Qian family is done for!"

Only then did Nong Fanfei put a piece in his mouth. After savoring it carefully, he stood up immediately and bowed deeply to you!

"Mr. Li, as long as you can supply this regularly, I’ll agree to whatever terms you propose!"

You let out a laugh and said, "A regular supply? That’s impossible."

Before Nong Fanfei could respond, you continued, "However, our goal is aligned. I hope to achieve the downfall of the Qian family through cooperation with you."

"Deal! That’s settled then!"

Nong Fanfei responded promptly.

You smiled and stretched out your hand to Nong Fanfei. After a moment’s hesitation, he quickly shook your hand, and both of you declared simultaneously, "Pleasure doing business!"

"Yuck—what are you two big guys holding hands for? So disgusting."

Just then, Yin Guihua’s voice came from the entryway.

You turned your head and were immediately taken aback. Addressing the five girls who had arrived, you asked, "How come you’re here?"

As Nong Fanfei and Ding Xiaoyang turned their heads, their eyes widened in shock. Almost reflexively, without thinking, they bowed in the direction of the entrance and said in unison, "Greetings to the Empress! Long live the Empress, may you be blessed with peace and health!"

You turned and looked at Nong Fanfei and Ding Xiaoyang, not expecting such a big reaction from them upon seeing the Empress. Nong Xuele, clearly unaware of the situation, looked dumbfounded at her two brothers.

"Hey hey, why... why is she here?" The moment Xiao Feng saw the Empress, he felt goosebumps all over and nudged you urgently, asking quietly.

"I guess Er Ya brought her. I don’t know what’s up with that woman; being the Empress and yet having nothing better to do than show up wherever I am. Maybe she’s hit puberty or something."

"I heard that." Just as you finished speaking, the Empress at the entryway, with her deep and attractive voice, said, "Li Muyun, for that remark alone, I could tear you apart."

"It’s just a joke! Just kidding!"

You quickly stood up while giving Xiao Feng and the others behind you like Zong Wangyue a look.

Then, everyone turned to the Empress together, mimicking your gesture as they said to her, "Greetings to the Empress, may you be blessed with peace and health."

Compared to Nong Fanfei and Ding Xiaoyang, your greeting was very casual, showing no real respect.

"Hmph."

The Empress gave a cold snort, remaining silent afterwards.

"I heard Glasses was injured. How is he now?" Wu Qiyi walked straight up to you and asked.

"He’s out of danger now and just needs to recuperate in the hospital for a few days."

At this moment, Zhao’er walked up to you, picked up the radish that was already cut in half from the table, held it to her nose to take a gentle sniff, and then turned to you, tilting her head slightly with an adorable expression, and asked, "Yun, radish for dinner tonight?"

You immediately smiled and said, "Sure, if you want to eat it, I’ll definitely cook it."

The Empress clearly had some reservations about the radish in Zhao’er’s hands. She quickly walked over, paying no attention to Nong Fanfei and Ding Xiaoyang, and snatched the radish from Zhao’er’s hands. Mimicking Zhao’er’s pose, she sniffed the radish and then frowned at you saying, "Where did this come from?"

"I made it."

"You... made it?" The Empress’ eyebrows furrowed slightly, "How did you make it?"

"What are you going to do with it, take it home to make soup?"

For some reason, ever since the Empress became Fan Yi, you couldn’t help but tease her with life-threatening humor when facing her.

The Empress said nothing, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng didn’t say a word and immediately ran away from your side, simultaneously speaking to Dai Zhenan next to him, "JJ man, let’s go, the gate is on fire, and disaster is spreading to the fish in the moat!"

By now, the immense pressure from the Empress had filled the large living room. If it weren’t for the fact that most of the Empress’ pressure was directed at you, Dai Zhenan and the others might have kneeling before the Empress by now.

"Alright, alright, I’ll say it, this is a radish."

"We know it’s a radish, We are asking how did you make it?"

You shrugged nonchalantly and said, "It’s simple. You just need to catalyze it with the True Qi source."

"True Qi source?" The moment the Empress heard these words, she was startled. She suddenly stepped forward, grabbed your right arm, and placed her fingers on your pulse.

Soon, a look of realization appeared on the Empress’ face, and she was now less than half a meter away from you.

This was the first time you observed the Empress from such a close distance. From your angle, if the Empress didn’t speak, she still assumed Fan Yi’s posture. Your alarm clock naturally brought forth the image of Fan Yi’s indifferent expression, as well as the radiant smile she showed you for the last time.

For some reason, a wave of inexplicable emotion suddenly surged through you, and as you looked at the Empress, you cried, a single tear quickly sliding down from the corner of your left eye.

The Empress held your hand, looking at you with an expression that could shatter the hearts of young girls like glass, and she couldn’t help but loosen her grip slightly, saying, "It seems that you have indeed mastered the method to control the True Qi source."

Just as the Empress withdrew her hand, you suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm. The moment your fingers touched her delicate skin, a novel feeling of soulful connection jolted you both, and in that moment, it seemed a mysterious link was established between you and the Empress.

"Hmph!"

After a brief moment of distraction, the Empress glared coldly at you, and in that moment, you felt as though you had been hit by a speeding train!

As you were sent flying, Zhao’er’s silhouette suddenly emerged behind you. With an inscrutable technique, she dissipated all the force on your body and caught you from mid-air.

Seeing the blood at the corner of your mouth, Zhao’er’s originally harmless expression slowly changed, sharpness shimmering in her eyes. She said to the Empress, "You are not allowed to hurt Yun."

"Hmph, it was he who courted death!" The Empress retorted coldly.

You wiped the blood from your mouth. The Empress’ move had nearly displaced all your internal organs, and your abdomen was roiling with blood.

The Empress was the Empress, indeed. She did not act impulsively, but when she did, it could easily cost someone their life!

Luckily, your body had been transformed by the Star Stealing Life-changing Talisman, otherwise, you might have already died from your internal organs shattering and bleeding from seven orifices!

Suppressing the urge to vomit blood, you said to the Empress, "Empress, I want to ask you a question."
