Path of the Lilies

97. Curved Dagger (1)

Ye Jiao proceeded to tell Lu Wan everything that happened to her in Hell Island. Her story was not detailed, but she still told him most of the things that she knew.

"You get out of the island pretty quick," Lu Wan pondered. "I think that your poison training is not over yet."

"Not over?" Ye Jiao's mind blanked for a moment. Recalling her painful experience when she had to forcefully drink those poison and endured their violent reaction in her body, she wanted to cry. Did it mean she still has to continue those training?

Lu Wan nodded his head. "It's just going to be painful in the beginning. Before long, you're going to get used with them."

"Senior Brother Lu, do you know how much I hate that training?"

"Even if you hate it, you still have to continue the training," Lu Wan grinned. "It's not known whether you're going to face poison in the future. Without any immunity, you're going to die when facing them."

Ye Jiao groaned. She didn't want to continue the training from that time again, but she knew that it would be inevitable. It would be better for her to suffer during training rather than get poisoned to death.

"Fine... but why are you so interested in them?"

"I have great interest in poison and find them extremely interesting. Do you know that I have just developed another combination of a light feather...?"

As Lu Wan revealed his research, Ye Jiao could only stare blankly. She had never realized that her senior brother was a genuine poison lover. No- he was truly a maniac. Without the need to stop, Lu Wan continued to reveal the characteristic of the poison that he recently developed.

"I also test it to myself, but it seems that it's too potent," Lu Wan rolled his sleeves and showed his arm, which was filled with multiple colored skin. There were also some bandages that were used carelessly. "The new poison makes my skin turn blue, so I know that it's going to kill someone if it directly enters someone's blood vessel..."

"Wait, Senior Brother Lu, are you telling me that you try the poison on yourself?" Ye Jiao was stunned.

Lu Wan nodded. "Do you think my family is going to leave me alone if they know that I'm developing such a dangerous poison? It's not over yet, though, as it's too unstable that I have trouble holding it together for a long time."

"If you test it on yourself, don't you worry that you're going to die?"

"I'm not that careless," Lu Wan said in a relaxed manner. "Besides, the boundless possibilities to create the poison only make me feel excited."

Ye Jiao was speechless at Lu Wan's answer. She knew that he loved to play with poison, but it would surely be dangerous if there was any mishap. Seeing his excited face, somehow Ye Jiao had the feeling that he would be happier to die because of his poison rather than by other people's hand.

"Oh yeah, we're talking about experience before, right?" Lu Wan recalled that he was asking Ye Jiao about Hell Island.
