Chapter 258 Skills of Battling Out the Poison
Simply put, aphids were also a kind of poison.
As the only student of the Saint of Poison, she definitely absorbed all of the knowledge given to her. If she were to lose to the pervert with the dual personality so easily, it would be a great insult to her teacher’s reputation.
There was a pill in the box that gave off a sweet and fragrant aroma. Lin Mengya swallowed it down.
Tsk... Her brows furrowed instantly. She did not expect her teacher’s pill to be so much more bitter than other pills!
“You’re smart to think of protecting yourself. Then let the people around you become my sweethearts’ meal!”
The aphids spread open their wings and hovered toward her. However, Li Mengya counterattacked. She cut her palm with the sharp dagger.
A sweet fragrance dissolved into the air gradually as her blood flowed out.
The pain that drilled into her heart caused her to frown. This was all her teacher’s medicine’s fault. It would only be effective using her blood.
The hissing sounds slowly became weaker as the sweet fragrance spread around.
Luckily, there were only a few people on Lin Mengya’s side, so she could still cover them. She did not expect her teacher’s medicine to be so useful.
“What’s going on? What’s that smell?”
Xin Qing frowned, seemingly taken aback by the fact that her tiny sweethearts were blocked by Lin Mengya.
“There are so many things that you don’t know. As long as I’m here, don’t you even dream about hurting them.”
Her blood was flowing drip by drip, the fragrance seeping into the surrounding, causing everyone to be very surprised.
The aphids that flew to the box started to lose their sense of direction as if they were drunk. They all fell into a designated area. Those outside the box saw that the ones inside were suffering and started to layer themselves outside the box.
“Interesting! Seems like you’ve got some good poison there.”
A sinister smile spread across Xin Qing’s face. Suddenly, she changed the frequency that she was shaking the bell. Immediately, a few special golden moths flew out from Xin Qing’s sleeves.
They buzzed loudly, as if totally ignorant of the fragrance from Lin Mengya’s poison. However, instead of landing on her, they flew toward two guards that were not far away.
“Watch out!” Lin Mengya was just about to warn them but the golden moths had already landed on the necks of the two men. Instantly, the two men’s faces started to twitch as if they were suffering tremendous pain. Shortly after, their facial expressions froze all of a sudden.
“These aphids are under my control, let me see how much blood you can flow!”
Xin Qing was full of pride. It seemed like this fragrance had taken over her tiny sweethearts. But these controlled aphids could hide in a human body. No matter how powerful Lin Mengya’s poison was, it would not be able to drive them away.
The two men with large builds swirled the steel knives in their hands, charging at Lin Mengya. But luckily, they were poisoned just now so their actions were still very stiff.
Lin Mengya dodged their attacks swiftly and protected herself.
If this continued, she would be hit sooner or later. Those who were counting on her to protect them stood behind her and retreated along with her.
The fragrance turned from strong to faint. The aphids also started to lose their fear. Lin Mengya then realized why Xin Qing would get these two to attack her.
The more she moved, the more the fragrance would evaporate. If the poison really ran out, then these people would also be doomed.
“Girl, get behind me.”
Suddenly, a pair of big hands grabbed her shoulders. Qinghu had already rested up and he pulled Lin Mengya behind him.
“Are you all right?”
Although Qinghu’s face was still pale, it was already much better than before.
“I’m fine now, I already heard footsteps. Long Tianyu and the rest should be here soon.”
Qinghu did not suppress his voice deliberately, but after hearing him, Xin Qing only laughed it off. She shook her hands extremely quickly and the crazy-like aphids fought to get near to Lin Mengya and the rest.
“I will not let him win. He’s just a pervert, I will hold on until Long Tianyu comes. Also, don’t kill them. I want to see if it can save people.”
The rich fragrance had died out gradually. Lin Mengya did not have any more with her. Luckily, the aphids still were in fear of her. Everyone was hugged into a ball and no one got hurt.
“Master, you should leave. Don’t worry about us.”
Baisu got up with the help of Qinghu and was now taken by Lin Mengya. She was greatly injured and her face was so pale that there was not a tint of blood color on her face.
“Don’t say stupid things. If I were to leave you guys behind, I would feel uneasy for the rest of my life. Just hold on a while more, it will be over very soon.”
Perhaps Xin Qing heard the footsteps as well, for she did not just stand there and quickly launched her attack at them.
Compared to the other personality, Xin Qing’s martial arts skills were not as good as Xin Li’s. Hence, Qinghu was still able to fight her and the other two controlled men.
However, Lin Mengya’s situation was not that ideal. In just that short period of time, she had already lost a lot of blood. In order to protect everyone, she could not stop her blood from flowing.
The outcome of massive blood loss was that she started to feel her body turning cold.
“Big Miss, you should stop the bleeding. It’s okay if we die, but you must take care of yourself.”
The remaining guards were already very apologetic seeing that Lin Mengya had to use her blood to drive the bugs away. Although the outcome of the bugs was very terrifying, they did not want to become cowards. Judging from the situation right now, if Big Miss did not have them holding her back, she could escape now.
Hence, one by one, they were all prepared to die.
“I will not allow you guys to sacrifice yourselves, understand? In the military rules of the Lin family, there has never been one rule that says that you have to sacrifice 800 soldiers to kill 1,000 enemies. You guys are all soldiers, is it worth it to die here for a woman?”
Lin Mengya did not turn around, but this speech hit right in the center of their hearts.
On the battlefield, they had once followed great generals and young generals across mountains and seas of corpses. Many died on the battlefield, but they had no regrets.
However, they had never imagined that they would be trapped here.
“There’s no other way, help me take good care of her, I’ll chase the bugs away.”
In the distant darkness of the night, Lin Mengya already saw moving heads. It could be people from Prince Yu’s Mansion, or it could be people from the Lin family.
But no matter which side they came from, they could all fall victim to these aphids.
Lin Mengya took out a square leather purse from her waist. Upon opening it, there lay a row of densely distributed needles. Baili Rui made these especially for her. They were made according to her habits and skills.
Lin Mengya picked up a needle and quickly inserted it into her own acupuncture point. The diluted fragrance became strong again. However, Lin Mengya’s brows were furrowing tightly.
At an unknown point in time, a small jade bottle appeared in her hand. Lin Mengya poured out its contents in front of her. The stench mixed with the sweet fragrance and produced a smell that made people nauseated.
The aphids all became crazy immediately and all changed their target and flew at Lin Mengya.
Everyone was shocked, even Xin Qing also stopped her attacks at Qinghu and looked in Lin Mengya’s direction.
Was she trying to die?
“Come on, let’s see who will survive and who will die!”
All of the aphids flew toward her. In that instant, her slender body was drowned in a ball of black aphids.
“Master!”
Baisu cried out in despair. She knew these aphids, they took away many lives. A line of tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes gradually. She did not expect that even her Master...
Just as everyone’s hearts were thumping in their throats, suddenly, there was a smell of smoke getting stronger.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with some confusion. Where was this smell coming from?
Suddenly, there was a soft orange light that appeared in the dense crowd of aphids. It then turned flaming red.
In that instant, the stench of the burning smell diffused into the air. It turned out that Xin Qing’s aphids were the fuel-starters of this burning flame.
“No! Why can’t I take them back!” Xin Qing snorted and wanted to take back her aphids but realized that it was not working.
In just a while, the hovering bugs burned into a hole in the ball of aphids. And those that were scattering around became fewer. The aphids seemed to have completely lost control and were even fighting to plunge into the fire.
“Very surprised, aren’t you? This is a poison-igniting trick that my teacher taught me. I will burn all of your cute little bugs to death in no time.”
A cold voice sounded. No one would have expected to see Lin Mengya be perfectly fine after being enveloped by the bugs. She climbed out of the snow.
Her cloak was used as a fuel-starter. Her black hair was flung behind her back. Under the radiance from the fire, that smile on her snow-white cheek was especially beautiful.
“B*tch! Return my aphids to me!”
This was an ending that even Xin Qing had never thought of. No matter how she shook the bell to control her bugs, the little guys were fighting to jump into the fire, as if they were possessed.
Unexpectedly, the barefoot Lin Mengya walked toward Xin Qing slowly. Her long hair was as dark as ink and it danced gently in the air along with the wind. Her long red dress made her seem like the Dark Lady of the Nine Heavens when the light of the fire shone on her.
She looked sacred, but also so beautiful that it caused one to be fearful.
“Girl, watch out for him!”
Qinghu already had a bad feeling about this guy, who was neither male nor female. However, Lin Mengya was fearless, and a scornful smile spread across her face.
“Kill me? If you’re that good, then kill me! Did you find that you can’t move your body? Your aphids, and that bell too? The king of the aphids must be living inside the golden bell, right? What a pity, these aphids are temporarily controlled by my poison-igniting skill. So as the host, you’re suffering from the counterattack now, right?”
