Chapter 282: Chapter 282: The Life and Death Game_1
"Valley Master, your Itchy Powder is useless on me. Are you going to admit defeat in the second round or not? If you don’t, I’m going to start mixing the medicine!" Qin Feng said with a laugh.
"Admit defeat? There’s no such thing as admitting defeat in my dictionary! I want to see if you can concoct a poison stronger than my Itchy Powder!"
Qin Feng walked over to the medicine cabinet and casually selected a few extremely common medicinal ingredients, ground them into powder, and handed them to Ji Wuque.
Ji Wuque analyzed the ingredients Qin Feng had picked in his mind.
In the end, he couldn’t help but laugh.
The mixture of ingredients Qin Feng was concocting would indeed cause skin itching when applied.
However, it would only cause mild itching.
Because the primary effect of these ingredients was to cause skin allergies.
Such skin allergies, even for normal people, were absolutely bearable.
Ji Wuque’s body had been toughened by poisons since childhood.
Therefore, whatever Qin Feng came up with would have no effect on him at all. So even if he applied it, he would be absolutely fine.
Since his Itchy Powder didn’t make Qin Feng itch, and Qin Feng’s concoction had no effect on him, the two could at most be considered a draw.
Thus, the second round could only be a tie.
For the upcoming third round, as long as he won, it would still be a draw.
Then, if they had an extra round, Ji Wuque believed he could surely beat Qin Feng.
Seeing Ji Wuque confidently accept the powder from his hand, Qin Feng kindly reminded, "The effect of my powder is quite strong. When you apply it, you might want to use less, just a light touch is enough."
"What you’ve come up with is nothing but a haphazard mixture of some allergy-inducing ingredients ground into powder, hardly a poison formula at all."
At this point, Ji Wuque had a sudden idea, "Earlier with my Itchy Powder, you only applied it to your hands, face, and neck. You didn’t apply it to a man’s most vulnerable spot."
"So, if I apply your powder to that most vulnerable spot on a man and still don’t feel itchy, not scratching at all, then you lose the second round.
Unless, you do the same as me and apply the Itchy Powder I made to your most vulnerable spot."
Ji Wuque’s suggestion made Qin Feng laugh.
"Are you sure you want to go so far?" he asked.
"A real man plays big," Ji Wuque sneered, "Or are you not man enough to play like this?"
"I’m not as perverted as you, but if you insist on applying my powder to that part of you, be my guest. As long as you apply it and can resist scratching for five seconds, you can count this round as my loss."
Those words from Qin Feng made Ji Wuque burst into loud laughter.
"Hahaha..."
After laughing, he confirmed with Qin Feng, "Just hold for five seconds, and it counts as my win, you sure?"
"Absolutely sure!"
"Fine! I’ll apply it for you to see."
Ji Wuque grabbed a handful of the powder, ready to smear it on.
Xue Xiaochan quickly turned away.
After all, that scene was too disgusting for her to watch.
She wouldn’t watch anyone else’s but Qin Feng’s.
Full of confidence, Ji Wuque grabbed a large handful and smeared it directly.
The moment he applied it, he felt a cool sensation that was quite refreshing, a bit like the balm used in the Mortal Realm.
But after that fleeting coolness, he felt itchy.
Unbearably itchy!
Qin Feng started timing him.
"One!"
"Two!"
Before "three" was even counted, Ji Wuque couldn’t bear the itchiness any longer and started to scratch himself.
Qin Feng saw this, immediately chuckled, and said, "Valley Master, we agreed on five seconds, but you lasted less than two. You’ve lost the second round!"
"You... you hurry up and cure me of this poison."
Ji Wuque itched so badly that he scratched and rolled around on the ground.
The last time he had an allergic reaction to a medication was when he was young. Even then, the itchiness wasn’t nearly as bad as this time—it was at least a hundred times worse.
"If you want me to cure you, you have to admit defeat first! If I cure you and then you go back on your word, who am I supposed to reason with?"
Qin Feng wasn’t in a hurry at all, finding Ji Wuque’s rolling around on the ground quite amusing.
"I admit it! I admit defeat! Just cure me quickly, I’m itching to death here," Ji Wuque almost cried from the itch.
"Good! It’s good that you admit defeat!"
Qin Feng walked over and kicked Ji Wuque’s butt several times.
"Ah!"
"Ah, ah!"
Ji Wuque cried out from the kicking, with a rather sultry voice.
After Qin Feng finished kicking him, he surprisingly stopped itching.
Getting up from the ground, Ji Wuque felt his face was somewhat burning hot.
Remembering what just happened, he felt humiliated because he felt like he’d been bullied by Qin Feng.
Qin Feng was just joking around, having a bit of fun.
However, it provoked Xue Xiaochan’s displeasure.
"Slap!" Xue Xiaochan slapped him on the butt and scolded irritably, "You filthy pervert, you dead freak!"
Qin Feng, at a loss for words, retorted, "Are you scolding me, or yourself?"
"Of course, I’m scolding you, bastard!"
Xue Xiaochan stretched out her hand and pinched hard, but caught nothing.
Because she had previously used a spell from the "Xuanhuang Medical Classic" to tease Qin Feng, and ended up shrinking him down too small.
Now, Qin Feng was so small that she couldn’t even pinch him.
Deep down, Xue Xiaochan was fully aware of what she had done.
So, even though she grabbed at air, she was still quite pleased.
She brought her mouth close to Qin Feng’s ear and whispered softly, "Gone, huh? Can’t do any naughty business now, can you?"
"I don’t mind! After all, it’s not just my pleasure that’s at stake here! The desperate one will definitely not be me, but you."
"Heh! As if I’d be desperate! I’m not interested!"
On the other side, after losing two rounds in succession, Ji Wuque was thinking of strategies.
Finally, he came up with a plan.
Qin Feng couldn’t be bothered to continue bantering with Xue Xiaochan since the important matters had yet to be settled.
He looked towards Ji Wuque and asked, "Valley Master, we agreed on the best of three rounds, and I’ve already won two. There’s no need for a third round, right? I can take whatever I want from your pharmacy now, can’t I?"
"We agreed on the best of three rounds, and I won’t go back on my word. However, since it’s a poison challenge, if we said we’d do a certain number of rounds, we have to go through with them."
This statement made Qin Feng laugh.
He knew this Ji Wuque definitely wasn’t a man of his word, seeing that he was about to lose and therefore wanted to change his mind and pull some trick at the last moment.
But Qin Feng didn’t care, whatever trick Ji Wuque tried to pull, he was ready for it.
"Alright! The guest follows the host’s lead! If the Valley Master says we should have a third round, then let’s have a third round. I just don’t know, how would you like to play this third round, Valley Master?"
"The third round is different from the first two, it’s a decisive life-or-death round!" Ji Wuque said coldly.
