Beauty and the Bodyguard

A sinister sneer flashed across the corner of Xu lingchong's mouth. He took out a small yellow pill from his bosom and stuffed it into his mouth without saying anything. This was the antidote that he had prepared for himself in advance.

Before he apologized to Lin Yi, he already knew that Lin Yi wouldn't trust him, and it was only natural for him to suggest exchanging glasses. So he added extra ingredients to the whole pot of spirit wine-no matter who drank it, no matter which glass it was, they'd all be hit.

It was just as Lin Yi had predicted-the ingredients that lingchong added to the wine weren't anything that had an obvious effect. After all, the situation was too sensitive-the important people seated downstairs were all people with great abilities. Even the slightest movement wouldn't be able to escape their senses, so even if it was a drug in the wine, it had to be a drug that wouldn't be suspicious.

The drug used by Xu lingchong this time was called immortal inebriation. It was a simple hallucinogenic drug. During the flare-up of the drug, it would cause a person to be in a trance, which in turn would achieve the same effect as getting drunk.

It was said that this was a drug that was specially used to confuse the cultivator's divine sense. Although the effect was not violent, it would not kill him, and there were no side effects after the event, when the medicinal power took effect, even Immortals could not withstand it, which was why it was called immortal inebriation.

The immortal inebriation was colorless and tasteless, and the effect was the same as being drunk. So even if Shangguan LAN 'er and Lin Yi drank it in front of so many big shots, and the drug took effect, no one would be suspicious. Even the people themselves might not be able to detect it. This was the unique feature of the immortal inebriation.

It was similar to being in a drunken state. This effect might not be impressive, but in some special situations, it was very practical and almost risk-free. Just like now, it was the best weapon to help Xu lingchong achieve success.

God drunk was mixed with spirit wine, and the effect would slowly take effect for a period of time, and the effect would gradually become stronger. It was like boiling a frog in warm water-even God drunk couldn't handle it when the effect reached its peak, let alone Lin Yi.

According to Xu lingchong's original plan, before Shangguan LAN 'er and Lin Yi went upstairs, he would make them drink the immortal's inebriation. This way, when the drug takes effect at its strongest, both of them would be in a trance. At that time, if he wanted to do anything to them, wouldn't it be completely up to him, young master Xu, to do as he pleased? it would be effortless!

However, now that Lin Yi had drunk the immortal's inebriation and Shangguan LAN 'er didn' t, Xu lingchong would have to put in a little more effort if he wanted to execute his next opportunity smoothly.

Fortunately, Shangguan LAN 'er's strength was weak. With Xu lingchong's strength at the perfected Foundation establishment stage, it would be extremely easy for him to deal with her without leaving a trace. Furthermore, he could guarantee that he would not expose anything.

While Xu lingchong was planning and preparing for the next step, Lin Yi followed Shangguan LAN 'er up to the third floor. Although he had been carefully feeling every change in his body, he didn't feel any obvious changes.

Lin Yi couldn't help but mumble in his heart. There were only two possible explanations for this. Either Xu lingchong didn't drug him, or he did drug him, and the drug wasn't strong enough to kill him.

As Lin Yi mumbled to himself, something started happening to the little Curly Bear. The little guy was stumbling around, jumping up and down and throwing things down as soon as he saw a table. He looked like a violent little kid.

Lin Yi was dumbfounded-he'd never seen Curly Bear this violent before. "What's wrong with it?"

Shangguan LAN 'er, however, did not seem surprised at all. She shrugged and said,""What else could it be? this little thing is drunk. In the past, every time he secretly drank, he would be like this. But today, it's a bit strange. How could he be like this after only one cup? he usually drinks a lot, but his alcohol tolerance is not so bad!"

Lin Yi shook his head, lost in thought."No matter how good the little fellow's alcohol tolerance is, it still depends on what kind of wine it drinks. Even if it can drink a thousand glasses without getting drunk, there are some wines that it can get drunk with just one glass."

"What kind of wine are you drinking? Little white used to drink spirit wine too, so there's no difference?" Shangguan LAN 'er said, half understanding.

Lin Yi smiled but didn't say anything. He walked to the side and sat down cross-legged, channeling his practitioner's Arts to get rid of the effects of the wine.

From the little Curly bear's reaction, Lin Yi was now one hundred percent sure that his prediction was correct-lingchong had indeed added some ingredients to the wine.

The little Curly bear's endurance was much lower than a practitioner 's, which was why the effects took place so quickly. If it were Lin Yi himself, it would take some time before the effects took effect.

No matter what, as long as it wasn't a lethal poison, Lin Yi would have a way to deal with it. He was a Healing Master himself, and poison was also a type of internal injury.

However, Lin Yi quickly realized that the drug wasn't strong or fatal at all, but it was endless. He could get rid of it easily every time he felt it, but it would come back immediately after. He spent half a day trying, but there was no sign of the root being removed.

"This thing is really hard to deal with." Lin Yi shook his head speechlessly. In the past, no matter how serious the injury was, he was always confident that he could recover quickly. On the other hand, this medicine, which clearly wasn't fatal, was like a dogskin plaster that he couldn't get rid of.

Lin Yi didn't know that he was under the effects of the God's inebriation. Even gods could only get drunk, how could it be removed so easily?

However, even if he couldn't get rid of the drug in a short period of time, Lin Yi had to try his best to control his body's condition. He didn't have to go crazy like Curly Bear.

If everything went as expected, Xu lingchong should be making a move soon. Otherwise, he wouldn't just add some medicine to help the wine.

"Little Junior Brother, what are you doing?" Shangguan LAN 'er couldn't help but ask after seeing Lin Yi's strange expression.

"Nothing, I can't drink. I'm just trying to relieve myself of the alcohol." Lin Yi smiled noncommittally.

"Cure the alcohol? Little Junior Brother, you've only drunk one cup and you're already so drunk. How are you going to socialize with these cunning old foxes in the future? it seems that little Senior Sister will have to get you a few more jars of high-grade spirit wine for you to practice!" Shangguan LAN 'er giggled, still confused.

"Hehe, then many thanks for little Senior sister's good intentions." Lin Yi continued to channel his energy to force the drug out of his body while accumulating his pure Qi. Even if the effects of the immortal inebriation could suppress the drug, his strength would still be affected. It was better to be prepared. (Yesterday, a reader asked about the Jade in Yuren 22, and I'll give you an answer. Before the Jade sent out an alert, it said that Lin Yi didn't know about the danger, so this time, Lin Yi knew that Xu lingchong was up to no good, so the Jade didn't send out an alert. Putting the wine in the Jade space was also mentioned in the chapters at the market. Lin Yi didn't dare to do it, as there was Qi fluctuation. He was afraid that people would suspect it and he would be doomed if he was exposed. If the murloc were to repeat some of the things he had written, the readers would find it cumbersome, so the murloc tried to avoid repeating the explanation as much as possible. I welcome any suggestions to continue communicating with the murlocs in prestige! (To be continued.)
