Lost Void Lake was a rather mystical place. It was located in a section of forest north of South Ning Prefecture. Only one path led to its shores, which were regularly shrouded in white mist. Travelers often lost their way within the haze, thus giving the lake its “Lost” name.

However, once you passed through the mists, you would see a whole new vista open up before your eyes. A fantastic lake with smaller lakes within it stretched on within the waters, thus giving the lake its “Void” name. Many ferocious beasts prowled in the forest surrounding the lake, so few people ever dropped by. Long Feiye and Han Yunxi arrived on horseback before dismounting in front of the mist.

Right now, it was currently noon, but the entire forest was still cool and dark as if removed from the world. Wutong trees bordered the pathway on both sides, making a straight marker down the path between the mists. Beyond that, everything was as like a sea of murky white clouds. Long Feiye had told Han Yunxi all about the strange nature of the place on their way here, so she was on guard now. She had long activated her detox system to scan for poisons, but found nothing so far.

Mother Nature was powerful enough to demand respect. Many natural phenomenon simply defied explanation. As Han Yunxi stood at the foot of the path and confirmed the mist was harmless, she started to enjoy the scenery around her instead.

“How vile of them to find a place like this,” she smiled coldly. It was likely they’d be ambushed on the way.

Long Feiye took her hand and linked their fingers together tightly. “Be careful,” he murmured in a low voice.

“Don’t worry. Leave this pathway to me.” Han Yunxi loved the mist too much. She took out two pills and swallowed one before giving the other to Long Feiye. Then she squeezed his hand and said, “Long Feiye, I’ll protect you on this path! Do you believe me?”

“I do,” Long Feiye knew that Han Yunxi had used poison.

The misty mazeway was very long and probably full of ambushes hiding in the shadows. He was expecting them to take ages just to pass through, but Han Yunxi’s actions set his worries at rest. Even Jun Yixie from the Hundred Poisons Sect couldn’t fight back against Han Yunxi’s toxins. Who else could win against her in this world, even by a lucky fluke? He really had to thank the people who chose this spot for the ransom. Otherwise, a powerful poisons expert like Han Yunxi would have no place to showcase her skills.

The two of them quickly headed hand-in-hand into the mists.

Just how much did Long Feiye trust Han Yunxi? Besides holding tightly to her hand, he was completely relaxed. It seemed more like he was here to take a stroll. Han Yunxi too, was carefree and content. She had absolute certainty in her poison skills--not from conceit, but from confidence. Their trip started out quiet, but soon wretched cries rose from both sides of the path. Without a doubt, the killers lying in ambush had been struck with Han Yunxi’s poison.

“What kind of poison is it?” Long Feiye asked.

“The most common stomach ache one,” Han Yunxi grinned.

“That’s not vicious enough,” Long Feiye said objectively.

“There’s no antidote to this poison. They’ll be suffering from constant pain for three days and three nights before it wears off.  Moreover, it’s not the kind of pain that kills.” Han Yunxi teased. “Do you want to try some too?”
