Chapter 114: Turning Hostile

First update today! Recently, some readers in the reviews have mentioned that my chapters are too short and wished I could write more. To these friends, Wang Yu first expresses gratitude, as their liking for my book makes me very happy! However, Wang Yu is still a new writer. The current three updates a day are already the result of spending the entire day in front of the computer, typing away. I genuinely can't do more, so please bear with me! But once Wang Yu becomes more proficient, I'll be able to write more. Practice makes perfect, after all! Enough talk, please continue to support me with your votes. Only if this book remains on the charts will Wang Yu have the motivation to keep delivering three updates daily! Throw your votes!

Han Li heard this, yawned, and then sneered, "Wrong me? What audacity! Do you think I'm truly afraid of your Mo Manor? If it weren't for Master Mo genuinely being my teacher for a few days, teaching me a lot of medical skills, and also because having a reputation for bullying women isn't good… Hmph! Just you? I could single-handedly wipe out your entire manor, leaving no one alive!" Han Li's words were chilling to the bone, and his expression grew sinister.

Han Li had made up his mind. Since he couldn't deceive the Mo Manor into giving him the precious jade, he would have to resort to forceful measures for the yin poison in his body. He planned to demonstrate some of his abilities, let Madam Yan and the others realize his power, and then forcibly take the "Warm Sun Jade."

When Madam Yan and the others first heard Han Li's ruthless words, their faces initially showed astonishment, but then they sneered. The Third Madam, Liu Shi, even laughed heartily, bending over. Clearly, these women didn't believe what Han Li said. But soon, the smiles on their faces completely froze.

This was because Han Li had extended a finger, and a ball of fire suddenly appeared at its tip. The moment this wine-cup-sized fireball materialized, the temperature in the entire room sharply increased, making the women feel as if they had entered the scorching heat of summer. Han Li then coldly looked across the room, intending to find an object to serve as a target for his "Fireball Technique" to make these women understand his power. To his surprise, before he could act, Madam Li couldn't help but exclaim, "An immortal cultivator!" Her face was filled with fear.

The other women also turned pale, and even the usually stoic Fifth Madam showed emotion, her gaze towards Han Li filled with surprise. Han Li was surprised that these women knew about immortal cultivators, but his expression grew even gloomier.

"Are you really an immortal cultivator?" Third Madam Liu Shi asked, her beautiful eyes wide with doubt. Han Li grunted. Without another word, he flicked his finger slightly, and the fireball zipped through the air, hitting the table next to Liu Shi. In the blink of an eye, the table turned to ash. This action made Liu Shi's face turn completely white. She quickly stood up, retreating several steps from the ashes before stopping, still shaken. At this moment, her delicate and pitiful expression, if seen by other men, would likely drive them instantly mad.

Unfortunately, Han Li paid no attention to this sight. He was staring at Madam Li, who had uttered the words "immortal cultivator," and ominously asked, "Second Madam, how do you know about immortal cultivators? Have you met others?"

"I..." Madam Li became flustered. She was greatly wary of Han Li's identity as an immortal cultivator.

"Don't ask my second sister. I'll tell you about immortal cultivators!" Madam Yan leaned back, closed her eyes with a weary expression, and interrupted Han Li's interrogation.

"Oh! Can you tell me?" Han Li rubbed his nose, his expression softening slightly.

"There's nothing to hide. Many people in Jiayuan City know about the existence of immortal cultivators," Madam Yan said with a bitter smile after opening her eyes. "Some even witnessed battles between immortal cultivators outside the city. I heard they can summon wind and rain, manipulate fire, and create mist—each one like a living deity." As Madam Yan said this, she gave Han Li a strange look.

"So that's how it is!" Han Li slapped the back of his head. He had forgotten that Jiayuan City wasn't a small place like Cai Xia Mountain. It seemed it wasn't uncommon for immortal cultivators to appear here; hadn't he just seen a man in blue clothes yesterday? "Did Master Mo also know about immortal cultivators?" Han Li suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask.

"Of course he did. My husband was also one of those who personally witnessed immortal cultivators fighting," Madam Yan replied casually, feeling there was nothing to hide.

"No wonder Doctor Mo was so obsessed with immortal cultivation; he had already seen true immortal cultivators! It's a pity he had no spiritual roots. All that effort went to waste, but it ended up benefiting me instead," Han Li sighed.

However, Han Li suddenly found it strange. Why was Madam Yan so obedient now? She answered whatever he asked, without any temper at all. Han Li wouldn't believe that simply being an immortal cultivator would make the other party completely submit. Han Li carefully observed Madam Yan's expression and finally noticed a faint anxious look beneath her seemingly calm demeanor.

"Is she trying to stall for time?" Han Li frowned, releasing his spiritual sense, but there were no signs of outsiders intruding near the small building. Han Li's eyes darted around. He suddenly stood up and began walking around the room, surveying his surroundings as he went. There seemed to be nothing suspicious. The room's contents were simple: only tables and chairs, just as they had been yesterday, except for a pair of white candles that had burned down by about half.

"Candles?" Han Li's gaze fell upon them. At first, he thought they were merely lit during the day to mourn Doctor Mo, so he paid no attention. But now he recalled that if they were mourning their husband, why were there no incense sticks? That seemed a bit abnormal. Thinking this, Han Li carefully sniffed the air and finally detected a scent similar to sandalwood. The fragrance was so faint that it would be impossible to notice without deliberately paying attention.

Madam Yan and the others became somewhat uneasy when they saw Han Li looking at the candles. When he sniffed the air, their expressions changed dramatically. But at this moment, Han Li laughed, and he laughed very cheerfully.

"What's so funny? Even if you've discovered the trick with the candles, it's too late now. This is 'Drunken Thousand Men' incapacitating drug. Ordinary people who smell it will feel their bones loosen, muscles weaken, and limbs become powerless. Martial artists will lose their true qi and temporarily lose their martial arts. Even if you are an immortal cultivator, you cannot stay in this room for long without consequence," Madam Yan said, unable to maintain her composure, trying to provoke him.

"Nothing," Han Li said with a slight smile. "I just think my luck isn't too bad! When I was at the Seven Mysteries Sect, I often heard people talk about the cunning tricks of the martial world. Among them, poisons and incapacitating incense left the deepest impression on me. Not only have I personally suffered from them, but they are also incredibly difficult to guard against. Even an ordinary person can use them to easily kill a grand master. For this, I racked my brains and finally came up with a clumsy method to prevent incapacitating drugs and poisons," Han Li said somewhat smugly.

Madam Yan and the others exchanged bewildered glances. Such a method exists? How could that be? Yet, the fact remained that he hadn't collapsed. Their faces had now turned completely white.

"As for the method..." Han Li saw the women all leaning in, involuntarily eager to hear what he would say, and couldn't help but chuckle. "I'm not going to tell you! Because I don't have a habit of revealing my secrets to enemies!" Han Li's expression was serious.
