Chapter 303 Blind Man
Chapter 303 Blind Man
Everyone around looked at the man who had spoken. Facing the gazes of the crowd, the man was not afraid at all, but even more excited: "If she hadn't brought out a scourge like the White Ghost, none of this would have happened."
The man's companion chimed in, "Exactly! Someone from a secluded mountain realm, of unknown origin, and with a name like White Ghost—what kind of good person could he be?"
"And her hair and eyes..." someone clicked their tongue twice: "I've heard that demons have red eyes, and she has red eyes too. Who knows if she's a demon?"
"If they are demons, then they deserve to die even more."
"You've gone too far," said the person who had initially expressed pity for Miss Zhou. "Miss Zhou brought Bai Gui out because Bai Gui saved her in the secret realm."
"As for her hair color and eyes..." the man said seriously, "I won't talk about people from other places, but just talking about us people of the Poison Domain, how many of us have had our hair and eye colors changed due to poison since childhood? To say that she is a demon without any evidence is going too far."
"Changes in hair and eye color are nothing; I've even seen people whose skin color has changed." Some people supported the former statement.
"I don't know what they're thinking, blaming Miss Zhou?" someone said. "If we really have to blame someone, shouldn't we blame others for being too greedy?"
The two tables of people were arguing when a third table chimed in, "I agree with what the guys at the first table said. Miss Zhou does bear some responsibility for how things turned out this way."
"The White Ghost is immune to all poisons; even the poison from the Xu family elders couldn't harm her. But where are we?" the man said. "This is a poisonous domain. Is it appropriate to have someone so immune to all poisons here?"
"The city lord and the others want White Ghost because they want to use White Ghost's abilities to research even more potent poisons. With the emergence of more potent poisons, Poison King City's reputation will soar, making the domain lord value it even more. This is a good thing for our Poison King City." The man said, "If you ask me, it's the Zhou family that's being unreasonable. If they handed over White Ghost and the others and let White Ghost cooperate, would the city lord possibly harm them?"
"You're just making excuses!"
"Who's making excuses?" The three parties started arguing: "It's said that Bai Gui killed the four families because they wanted to capture the Zhou family to threaten her. Bai Gui struck first, but all four families are dead, so there's no way to verify the story. Who knows if this story was deliberately released by Bai Gui after she killed them?"
"That's right. With no one to testify against her, no one can refute her. Of course, we can let her say whatever she wants. You all keep saying the Zhou family is pitiful, but since what happened, besides the death of one young lady who committed suicide, has anyone else in the Zhou family died?"
"No, but everyone from the four prefectures is dead, not even the people brought by the domain lord escaped. Doesn't that prove anything?"
"You, you are shameless!" The people at the table who spoke up for the Zhou family never expected that they could be so shameless. All of this was clearly forced by others, but just because others died and the Zhou family members didn't, it became the Zhou family's fault?
"We are shameless, it's clearly your fault for saying that."
There are always many arguments in the teahouse. As long as no one fights, no one will stop them. The others are happy to watch the show, so no one speaks up to stop them and just watches the three parties argue.
"You're so protective of the White Ghost, you'll see how powerful he is when he reappears and kills people again."
"That white-haired girl wasn't a ruthless killer; she even saved the beggar who was being used by the city lord and his ilk!"
"Those beggars?" someone sneered. "If you're so kind as to save those beggars, why don't you cooperate with the city lord and the others to research more potent poisons and better antidotes? Are normal people not worthy of using them, and only beggars are worthy of using them?"
That's not how it works...
"What should I say?"
"No matter what you say, the Divine Descendants have arrived, and the White Demons are doomed!"
"Exactly! Once the descendants of the gods capture and kill them, let's see how you people will still defend them."
The teahouse was embroiled in a heated argument. Ling Qi got up and walked outside, and the others followed. However, as they passed a table of customers, one of them slammed his hand on the table, pointed at the other person, and cursed. Then, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward when he bumped into Ji Yanzhi.
The aisle between the tables was narrow, so bumping into someone wouldn't be a big deal. Ji Yanzhi didn't say anything, but the other person noticed the ribbon on his eyes and said disdainfully, "Why isn't a blind man at home? What is he doing out here?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Good heavens!"
Ji Yanzhi didn't blame him, but he took advantage of the situation.
Ji Yanzhi didn't speak, but just then, Ling Yi, who had already walked away, came back without any warning. Ling Yi grabbed the man by the back of the neck and pressed him down hard.
With a loud bang, the people around instinctively moved away. The man struggled, and those around him wanted to help, but Ye Qingshuang and Bai Qingjue stopped them.
Ling Yi turned the person over. The person's forehead was very red. Upon seeing Ling Yi, the person immediately cursed, "You filthy bitch..."
Ling Yi grabbed the man's neck with one hand and plunged the other hand into his eye.
"what!"
A scream rang out, and the man struggled even more fiercely, but Ling Yi did not let go. With a flick of her finger, she removed the man's destroyed eyeball and crushed it in her hand.
Seeing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
This...this method is too ruthless.
Just because someone said someone was blind doesn't mean they actually have to go blind, does it?
At this moment, the man's companion reacted, raised his hand and waved, sending the powder flying towards Ling Yi.
Upon seeing the powder, the people around immediately stood up and moved further away, fearing that they might accidentally come into contact with the poison.
Ling Yi looked at the flying powder, but simply closed her eyes and did not dodge. The powder covered Ling Yi's face. Ling Yi raised her hand to wipe the powder away and looked at the man who had attacked her.
When the man saw that the poison had no effect on Ling Yi, and when he met Ling Yi's dark eyes, his heart trembled involuntarily. But before he could speak, Ling Yi raised his hand and grabbed him.
The man instinctively tried to dodge, but Ling Yi was too fast, and Bai Qingjue was standing behind him at some point. When Bai Qingjue saw him trying to dodge, he pushed him away. The man lunged at Ling Yi, who caught him squarely. Before the man could struggle, Ling Yi's fingertip pierced the man's brow, and the technique of "No Birth and Death" entered the man's body through the wound.
Ling Yi released his grip and pushed the man away. The man fell backward and was caught by Bai Qingjue, who set up a barrier to isolate him. As soon as the barrier was completed, everyone in the teahouse saw the man begin to liquefy.
Upon seeing this, everyone knew that the man had been poisoned with an even more potent poison. They dared not linger any longer and hurriedly ran away. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the people in the hall had disappeared.
Seeing that the customer had run away, the teahouse owner came forward and said, "Miss, this is a place to drink tea. Your actions here have disturbed our business. Please forgive us..."
Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, Ye Qingshuang took out a silver note and handed it to him.
Upon seeing the silver notes, the shopkeeper instinctively said, "This is not good..."
