Chapter 328: Poisoned_1
"As expected, how is it, my Soft Technique isn’t bad, right?" Chu Qin replied calmly.
"Mhm, mhm!" Purple Pearl nodded repeatedly.
A goal that should take a year to achieve was accomplished in ten days; how could she not be excited! To tell the truth, Chu Qin had her perform some strange movements every day, and he frequently laid his hands on her. Although Purple Pearl did not resist, she once thought Chu Qin had ulterior motives!
Now Purple Pearl realized Chu Qin had no such intentions! Chu Qin was wholeheartedly focused on training her!
However, upon thinking this, she felt somewhat disappointed.
So, Chu Qin had no feelings for her whatsoever?
"What’s wrong?" Seeing Purple Pearl’s dispirited demeanor, Chu Qin slightly raised an eyebrow.
"It’s nothing!" Purple Pearl responded with a smile, thinking to herself, "Maybe, Lord Chu Qin, perhaps, might also be interested in me! Whatever, let’s give it a shot, there’s nothing to lose!"
"Chu..."
But just as Purple Pearl was about to speak, Xiaowu and Qian Renxue walked over, the former clutching her stomach and calling out with some discomfort, "Chu Qin..."
"What’s wrong, Xiaowu!"
Chu Qin immediately came over, supporting her and asking.
"My stomach hurts!" Xiaowu said, suffering.
"Stomach pain, is it that time of the month? Then you should rest well!" Chu Qin replied.
"It’s not!" Xiaowu shook her head, "It hasn’t come! It’s just that my stomach suddenly hurts a lot!"
Saying this, Xiaowu directly collapsed onto Chu Qin!
"Strange, Xiaowu shouldn’t be ill!" Chu Qin’s expression tightened slightly, then he asked softly while holding her, "Xiaowu, what did you do today?"
"I didn’t do anything!" Xiaowu shook her head.
Just then, Purple Pearl’s expression changed drastically, and she said to Chu Qin, "Your Majesty, my stomach suddenly hurts too!"
"What?" Chu Qin frowned as he looked towards Purple Pearl!
If it was just Xiaowu, it could have been some coincidence, but now that Purple Pearl was also in pain, was this still coincidence?
"Xiaowu, what’s wrong with your face?"
In the midst of Chu Qin’s thoughts, Qian Renxue cried out.
"My face? It’s so itchy!" Xiaowu said fearfully.
Chu Qin looked and saw that Xiaowu’s beautiful face had developed some black lines.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Qin instinctively looked at Purple Pearl; the same lines appeared on her face as well, identical to Xiaowu’s!
"Purple Pearl sister, you have them on your face too!" Qian Renxue said, "Chu Qin, do I have them on my face too?"
Purple Pearl, now visibly panicked, quickly covered her face! A woman values her appearance above all else, especially Purple Pearl in front of Chu Qin revealing such an unsightly state.
"You don’t!" Chu Qin shook his head, "It seems Xiaowu and Pearl have been poisoned!"
"Poisoned, what do we do?" Xiaowu said anxiously.
"No worries!" Chu Qin said, taking out two pills from the Soul Guidance Container, "These are detoxifying pills, jointly developed with Master Dugu using Immortal Herbs and poison, capable of neutralizing all toxins!"
Following that, Chu Qin gave one pill to Purple Pearl and fed another to Xiaowu.
After swallowing the pills, the black lines on Xiaowu’s and Purple Pearl’s faces visibly disappeared!
"How is it, Xiaowu, Pearl?" Chu Qin asked them both.
"My face isn’t itchy anymore!" Xiaowu and Purple Pearl said in unison.
"The black lines on your faces are gone!" Qian Renxue also said with slight amazement.
"And, my stomach doesn’t seem to hurt anymore!" Xiaowu said with a smile, "What kind of detox pill is this, why is it so powerful?"
"Indeed!" Purple Pearl followed.
Chu Qin gave a faint smile, "No worries, all is well now!"
Actually, these were detox pills that Chu Qin acquired through System tasks. Many of Chu Qin’s side quests yielded these seemingly useless detox pills or probiotics, but unexpectedly, they came in handy!
At that moment, Chu Qin’s complexion changed slightly, and Qian Renxue furrowed her brows, "Xiaowu, Purple Pearl, how did you suddenly get poisoned?"
"Yes, Xiaowu, Pearl, what did you do, or drink?" Chu Qin asked.
Purple Pearl shook her head, "Just ate some normal seafood!"
"Me too!" Xiaowu added, "Chu Qin, isn’t our food all the same?"
"Seafood? Xue’er and I ate that too!" Chu Qin nodded.
"Chu Qin!"
Zi Ji’s voice sounded. Zi Ji, You Ji, Ah Yin, Bi Ji, Nine Demoness, Mei Wu, the Six Great Beast Kings, and Wang Qiu’er, along with Hulena, approached!
"What’s happened to you? Don’t tell me, you also have stomach aches!" Chu Qin quickly asked.
"Not us, it’s Ning Rongrong, Yuehua, Zhu Qing, and the others!" Ah Yin replied, "All of them are in great pain, and they have black lines on their faces!"
"I (Xiaowu) just went through the same thing!"
Xiaowu and Qian Renxue’s pupils dilated as they spoke.
"Chu Qin said, we’ve been poisoned!" Xiaowu added.
"Poisoned?" Zi Ji and the others exclaimed in surprise.
"How could we be poisoned?" Bi Ji asked, puzzled.
"Never mind that for now, let’s go!" Chu Qin immediately returned to the castle. A sudden thought struck Purple Pearl, and she left the estate, hurrying towards the Pirate Group’s quarters!
Fortunately, Chu Qin had enough detox pills, and promptly provided one to each of Ning Rongrong, Zhu Qing, Su Jinyan, and the others!
"What on earth is going on?" Hulena frowned, "How could everyone be poisoned? Could it be, someone deliberately poisoned us?"
"If I catch them, I’ll smash their head to pieces!" Xiaowu said viciously.
"The key question is, who administered the poison?" Qian Renxue wondered.
Upon hearing this, all the women turned their gaze toward Chu Qin. He was the one they always relied on, no matter what!
"Ning Rongrong, Zhu Qing... did all of you eat the fish?" Chu Qin asked them.
"Yes!" the women nodded.
"Could there be something wrong with the seafood?" Zhu Qing inquired.
Following that, upon analyzing the remaining seafood, Chu Qin indeed discovered the toxin!
"It really was the seafood!"
"Brother Chu Qin, I ate the fish too, why am I fine?" Wang Qiu’er asked.
"I ate it as well!" Zi Ji, the Six Great Beast Kings, and Hulena chimed in.
"Qiu’er, Zi Ji, all seven of you are high-level soul beasts, common poisons don’t affect you. As for Na’er, she has been around Bloody Mary for a long time in Slaughter City, you are a kind of poison on your own, with an extraordinary physique! And I am immune to all poisons!" Chu Qin analyzed.
"What about me?" Qian Renxue inquired, "I don’t have an immunity to all poisons, and if it has something to do with Soul Power, then Second Dragon Sister shouldn’t have been poisoned either!"
"Xue’er, you possess saint power, which can purify all soul poison!" Chu Qin responded.
"Soul poison?" the women echoed in unison.
"Yes, this toxin isn’t a medicinal poison but one fabricated by Soul Power. If I’m not mistaken, the person who poisoned us possesses a powerful poison-type Martial Soul, similar to Master Dugu’s!" Chu Qin nodded, "And, to be able to lay low Er Long, the culprit’s Soul Power must be no less than hers!"
Upon hearing this, the women fell into deep thought.
"On the entire Purple Pearl Island, only Purple Pearl has the strongest Soul Power, yet she is only at level sixty-eight. Who could it be then?" Liu Erlong wondered.
"The poison was placed in the seafood, no, it should be said the ocean itself!" Chu Qin furrowed his brows.
"Not good!" Just then, Chu Qin suddenly realized something and exclaimed in alarm, "I’m afraid that everyone on Purple Pearl Island has been poisoned!"
