Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!
24 Chapter 24: You're welcome!
****
Xu Shan reached his bedroom, which was being guarded by two guards.
Usually, he never let any guards come near his room. However, since the Saintess was inside, he left two here just to make sure that nothing went wrong! Even though he had made the little girl behave initially, that didn't mean he really gave her free rein in his palace.
Seeing Xu Shan return, the two guards bowed respectfully before they took a few steps back, clearing the path for him.
Xu Shan pushed the door open and walked inside the room.
As soon as he entered the room, he was greeted by a strange yet expected sight. Yu Fei was weakly sitting on the bed. Her face was red in anger, yet her body was completely weak!
In fact, even Xu Shan could kill her at this point if he wanted since the Saintess couldn't use even a single trace of her Celestial Aura.
As the door closed, the Saintess opened her eyes, noticing movements inside the room.
As soon as she saw Xu Shan at the entrance, her anger rose again.
"I will kill you!" The Saintess roared in anger. "You drugged me again!"
"Really? You look completely fine to me though," Xu Shan responded, not reacting much.
He walked to the nearby chair and sat down, simply observing the little girl on the bed. Everything had gone according to his plan.
Even though Xu Shan didn't know how the Saintess' Celestial Spirit worked, one thing he was sure about was that her Celestial Spirit couldn't protect her from drugs. If that were the case, she wouldn't have been caught the last time.
That small detail was also what gave him this little idea.
"Did you like the food? My chef worked extra hard to make food for you."
The Saintess felt like coughing out blood as she heard Xu Shan's shameless words! He was talking as if he wanted her to praise the food after all this!
"You despicable man! You'll die at my hands one day!" The pale-faced Saintess exclaimed! She was so angry that if she wasn't so weak now, she would've already rushed and attacked Xu Shan without caring about her life and death.
" Saintess, you really overestimate yourself, don't you?" Xu Shan asked without a single ripple of emotion on his face. "If you were that capable, you wouldn't have fallen for the same trick twice."
He didn't take her threat seriously. It wasn't as if she didn't want to kill him before. In fact, she wanted to kill him even before she was kidnapped. So a little taunt didn't matter much.
"Anyway, if you want to give some credit, the recipe for dinner came from me. You're welcome."
Xinren stood behind Xu Shan, shaking her head lightly. If she didn't know any better, she would've thought that Xu Shan wanted to kill the Saintess by angering her to death!
"If you want to know the recipe, I don't mind sharing," Xu Shan further continued. "I went through a lot of effort to create this recipe after all."
"First, the Star Heart Grass... A rare herb that even the Eternal Dynasty doesn't have enough stock of. I'm sure you've already heard about it. The heavenly herb that purifies the heart and makes it impossible for a person to lie for a day after consumption."
Hearing the name, Yu Fei's face went pale. She had heard about that herb, and its effect was exactly the same as Xu Shan described. She couldn't understand why he would use that herb on her now?
He had given her two days of time to think about her decision. So why did he have to drug her now? Unless...
She realized that she had been tricked! Xu Shan lied to her about giving her two days! In fact, he only said that so that for the next two days, she would lower her guard!
Since Yu Fei felt that she was safe for two days, she didn't take enough precautions!
Moreover, she also understood that everything that happened today was planned! The delicious breakfast and lunch were completely fine. She had checked the food before eating, after all! Since there was nothing wrong with breakfast and lunch, she thought it was the same case for dinner and wasn't careful!
Another subtle trick that Xu Shan played was to not come to the room at all! He made it seem that he was concerned about something and busy! This way, Yu Fei lowered her guards even more! Since Xu Shan was busy, he didn't have time to play any tricks... Or so she thought!
It was only now that she realized how wrong she was! Even after knowing how dangerous and cunning Xu Shan was, she still underestimated him!
"The second ingredient... a Ninth Grade Item called Celestial Poison. A poison that makes it impossible for you to use any Celestial Aura for a month. In other words, welcome to being a mortal."
"A single strain of the poison is almost impossible to find. Whenever it is available in auctions, it's sold for a sky high price. Even the Eternal Dynasty only had one strain. And that's used on you. Aren't I a good host?"
"You!" Yu Fei clenched her fist. She couldn't believe he had used a poison like that! Even the Celestial Palace didn't have that poison!
It was said that in the entire world, there were only three or four such strains of this mysterious poison! The only flaw in this poison was that it only worked on Celestial Warriors and Celestial Generals. An Earth Celestial or a Sky Celestial was immune to it.
If that weren't the case, this poison would've been even more expensive since it was almost impossible to detect this poison! If this wasn't useless against Earth Celestial and above, it could've easily been used to weaken the powerful warriors to a level where they could easily be killed.
"And lastly... Dream Grass..." Xu Shan stated, not caring about this chaotic the Saintess' mind was.
"Unfortunately, the Dream Grass only takes effect two hours after consumption. I don't think I need to tell you what it does, do I?"
Even though Yu Fei heard the first two ingredients, she still wasn't as scared as she became when she heard the last ingredient.
Even if the Starr Heart Grass made it impossible for her to lie, she could still stay silent! Even if the poison weakened her, she could still prevent Xu Shan from getting what he wanted, by not answering him!
However, the Dream Grass was a drug that was commonly available! It only worked on people that couldn't use Celestial Aura, making them feel as if they were in a dream, unable to control their actions.
When she was in that delirious state, she didn't believe that she could still have this level of self-control over her words!
Her face instantly went pale! With how she was now, she couldn't keep any secrets!
