Peach-Orange! – Chapter 475 – There’s Poison Under My Nails, You Know~

Seems like… something isn’t quite right.

Ye Er looked at Chi Xiaocheng’s changed expression and noticed that she was actually staring at the wine glass in his hand.

And that strange smell just now….

No matter how slow Ye Er was, he realized something was wrong and quickly took two steps back to distance himself from Chi Xiaocheng. “What did you do!”

The cuteness and fragility she had just shown were now completely gone.

No, the cuteness could still be felt, but the sense of fragility was almost nonexistent!

Chi Xiaocheng sat back down on the sofa, very calmly saying, “It’s nothing. Didn’t you notice the wine tasted off?” She smoothed out the wrinkles in her skirt, elegant in her posture. “At a banquet of this level, the food and drinks are definitely strictly checked. Only your glass of wine tasted strange….”

“Poison… in the wine?” Ye Er’s expression changed drastically, and he pointed at Chi Xiaocheng. “You were acting earlier!”

“You actually figured that out.” Chi Xiaocheng grinned. Faced with Ye Er’s accusation, she wasn’t scared at all. Instead, she seemed like a little devil, issuing a warning like a minor villain: “You’d better keep your voice down. If you shout and alert someone, if anything happens to me, you’ll definitely die too.”

Ye Er gasped sharply. He never expected that the pitiful, fragile girl from a moment ago could be so vicious!

Did she poison the wine just now?

No, how did she do it?

‘She’s tricking me!’

Ye Er calmed down a lot. He pointed at Chi Xiaocheng and let out a disdainful laugh. “You’re lying to me! You never had a chance to poison this glass of wine!”

That’s right. The entire process, from taking the glass from the waiter and handing it to him, only took a few seconds. How could she have poisoned it?

Unless the waiter was also one of her people.

But was that possible?

‘This little thing is really cunning. She tasted that the wine had gone bad and then lied to trick me.’

‘Really, scaring myself for no reason.’

Ye Er regained his cheerful, optimistic mindset.

But just then, Chi Xiaocheng raised a slender index finger.

Ye Er frowned. “What do you mean?”

“Silly, of course I hid the poison under my fingernail!”

“What?!”

Ye Er’s eyes widened in disbelief. “But… but you just licked your fingernail too!”

“But I have the antidote.”

Chi Xiaocheng was completely unruffled. She found this move really useful.

First Chen Qian, then Special Envoy Qiu last time, and now Ye Er.

There was definitely no antidote, and the poison wasn’t real either. She merely altered the taste.

But she knew people of his status usually didn’t dare to take the risk.

Ye Er was no exception.

His expression shifted uncertainly.

Chi Xiaocheng narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly. “You could also test whether your doctors can handle it, but I think it might be quite difficult. After all, even Si Chen ate my poison and now wholeheartedly follows my orders.”

After hearing this, Ye Er’s pupils constricted again. “No wonder that profit-driven guy has been hovering around you!”

If even someone like Si Chen couldn’t do anything about this poison, then he….

Ye Er’s expression shifted erratically as thoughts raced through his mind.

Meanwhile, Chi Xiaocheng was overjoyed watching his internal struggle.

Because in her mind, the system’s notification sounds kept coming.

[Emotional value from Ye Er +32…]

[Emotional value from Ye Er +44…]

[Emotional value from Ye Er +66…]

Since this wasn’t their first meeting, and he had already given her some emotional value before, as the character who replaced Ye Liang, he could provide so much.

It couldn’t help but remind Chi Xiaocheng of when she first got to know Chu Lingfeng. Back then, the great Doctor Chu was Chi Xiaocheng’s first emotional value tool.

Chi Xiaocheng wasn’t in a hurry either. She elegantly placed her hands on her abdomen, leaned back against the sofa, glanced in the direction Su Tao had left and said lightly, “Ye Er, you can also wait and see. Without my antidote, in about three days, you’ll be begging me to agree.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Er’s expression turned icy. “Chi Xiaocheng, you should know that although I’m easygoing and don’t like to cause trouble, it doesn’t mean I’m the type to be easily threatened!

“Since I was young, no one has ever dared to threaten me!”

Chi Xiaocheng looked up innocently. “Well, now there is.”

“???”

Are you proud of it?!

Ye Er snorted coldly. “It seems the negotiation I originally prepared for you is going to fall through.”

Chi Xiaocheng blinked, unmoved.

Ye Er did look serious with a stern face, but the system notifications hadn’t stopped yet.

As the “new character” personally used by the will of the world, Ye Er had already provided 250 points of emotional value in just two minutes.

Clearly, he was bluffing.

Seeing that Chi Xiaocheng still hadn’t reacted, Ye Er snorted coldly. “In that case, Chi Xiaocheng, prepare yourself for my wrath!”

He flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

Chi Xiaocheng blinked again and asked curiously, “Don’t you want the antidote?”

“Heh… Hahaha! You think I’d believe that? I bet there’s nothing under your nails but bacteria!”

With a toss of his head, Ye Er fully stepped into the crowd, truly breaking negotiations with Chi Xiaocheng.

Even Chi Xiaocheng was surprised that Ye Er didn’t fall for it.

Was this the wisdom that appears like foolishness?

However, there was one thing she had to correct him.

Reaԁ οո KαtRеadіոɡСαfе

A beautiful girl’s nails wouldn’t even have bacteria, damn it!

But she was still a little worried.

She was really afraid Ye Er would choose mutual destruction.

She glanced in the direction Su Tao had left and saw that the young girl still hadn’t returned. Chi Xiaocheng called out in her mind, “Xiao Hei.”

“Understood.”

A cold voice sounded in her ear, followed by the sight of a girl in black gown that only Chi Xiaocheng could see. She wore long boots engraved with starry butterflies and walked in the direction Ye Er had left.

At the same time, she held Chi Xiaocheng’s fruit knife in one hand.

Chi Xiaocheng was stunned. “Wait, ‘understood’? What do you even understand for you to be holding a knife!?”

“Weren’t you going to eliminate the root of the problem? I’ll just knife him while he’s leaving.”

“Wait a minute! No matter what, he’s under the protection of the World’s Will. What if he gets desperate and fights you to the death?”

Whether Ye Er died or not didn’t matter, but Chi Xiaocheng didn’t want to lose Xiao Hei just like that.

Even if Xiao Hei traded one for one with the World’s Will itself, it would still be a loss.

After all, she had accompanied her through hundreds of cycles.

Chi Xiaocheng stopped Xiao Hei and then said, “What I meant was, before Ye Er goes beyond your range of movement, follow him secretly and see what he really thinks about me poisoning him.”

If he really intended mutual destruction, then Chi Xiaocheng would have to prepare in advance.
