Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

Panda Novel

Ling Chuxi glanced at the arrogant young man without saying a word. She removed another porcelain bottle from the fifth princess’ bag without batting an eye and took out a pill from it. Then, she took another pill from yet another porcelain bottle that was in the princess’ bag and began rubbing the two pills together. She completed all these actions with incredible speed before looking over at the arrogant young man. Only the fifth princess managed to catch Ling Chuxi’s actions. What kind of effect would result from rubbing those two pills together?

“You know, you’re really handsome. You’re so attractive and carefree, like a graceful flower in a field. I can’t help but be fascinated by your elegant demeanor. There’s only one thing I can’t be sure of yet. As a handsome young man who has fascinated tens of thousands of young maidens, you probably have straight and dazzlingly white teeth, am I right? Can I have a look? Say ahhhh.” Ling Chuxi unleashed a brilliant smile upon the arrogant young man. Her smile was as lovely as a beautiful flower, her tone was sincere, and her gaze was full of affection as she spoke. That look of admiration Ling Chuxi wore on her face really made it seem as though what she was saying was what she truly thought. Only Ling Yichen shuddered involuntarily at her words. As far as he was concerned, all shared experiences with Ling Chuxi have shown that the more brilliant her smile and the more flattering her words, the more terrible the recipient’s ending!

Since the young man had clearly never heard such complimentary words directed his way before, he was taken aback and actually did as Ling Chuxi told him to with a cooperative attitude and a small smile.

Aha! Good! This is the moment. Ling Chuxi moved quickly and flicked the two pills she had rubbed together in her hands into the young man’s open mouth.

The very next moment…

A sound akin to a pig squealing before being slaughtered echoed through the forest. It was so piercing that it seemed to break through the clouds and shake the surface of the earth till it trembled.

The crowd stood with their eyes practically popping out of their sockets and their mouths hanging agape as they stared at the young man thrashing about on the ground without care for maintaining his image. He was howling his head off with a face covered in tears and snot, in a pose that made him look as though he was about to bang his head on the ground. The sight of him left everyone feeling traumatized. How was this guy the same person as the carefree and elegant young man who stood here just a moment before?

“Argh! Let me die! Just let me die!” cried out the young man who was in such pain that he felt death was more preferable. This finally made the fifth princess’ expression change. Though the poisonous pills were her creation, they had never worked to this point of effectiveness. Here before her, was the true effect of a poison that made one feel as though dying was better than living! If she had been fed the same pills, then… A cold sweat broke out across her forehead. When she looked at Ling Chuxi again, it was with a different gaze.

Someone couldn’t bear watching the young man suffer any longer and knocked him out with the hilt of his sword. Even though he lay unconscious, the young man was obviously still in pain as his eyebrows were knit tightly together, cold sweat was beading on his forehead and his legs were twitching.

“Your highness was it?” asked Ling Chuxi as she finally turned to look at the princess again. Though her smile was bright, her tone of voice was contradictorily perfunctory. “So, you are the princess. I have been disrespectful.” There was a brilliant smile on Ling Chuxi’s face once more and it made the fifth princess’ heart break out in goosebumps.

“She’s the current fifth princess, Chuxi,” cautioned Ling Yichen as he stepped forward solemnly. The fifth princess was someone who had obtained the current emperor’s affections. There wouldn’t just be a few useless attendants by her side, a few masters were most likely watching from the shadows ready to jump in and protect her. If Ling Chuxi attacked the fifth princess, those hidden masters would not turn a blind eye and Ling Yichen didn’t wish to see Ling Chuxi get hurt.

“Ah, the Fifth Poisonous Princess?” Ling Chuxi pondered for a bit before remembering the nickname. This princess was well known indeed. Hearsay, she was a goddess proficient in using poisons. This was why no one dared to offend her. But the fact of the matter was, no matter how proficient she was in using poisons, she was merely a child playing house in front of Ling Chuxi.

“That’s right. She is well-versed in the use of various poisons,” said Ling Yichen as he glanced over at the fifth princess who looked as though she had lost her soul. He added, “It’s better that we take our leave. There’s no need to be bothered with her.”

“Well-versed in the use of various poisons, huh? Tch…” Ling Chuxi looked at the princess in disdain and tutted to express her indifference. Was this what people deemed as well-versed in using poisons? After she was done looking down on the fifth princess, Ling Chuxi skillfully put the princess’ bag she held in her hands into the pocket of her robe. The contents of the bag were still useful, they might come in handy in the future. Speechlessly, Ling Yichen rubbed his fingers against his forehead at Ling Chuxi’s actions. He felt he might need to settle a score with scar-face after all. Looking at Ling Chuxi now, why, her robbing character was in full gear. Scar-face had indeed misguided Chuxi and for that, he shall await death!

2The fifth princess looked at Ling Chuxi with a stupid expression. She simply couldn’t regain her senses. Nobody noticed how complex the emotions expressed in the fifth princess’ gaze were. It was a mix of disbelief, shock and even… adoration.
