Chapter 2384: Cruel Poison Constitution
Zu An was stunned. It had something to do with Xiaoxi? He hadn't been planning on listening to anything Salamay had to say, but he'd never expected it to be related to Xiaoxi. He was now starting to hesitate.
He really liked that adorable and kind young lady. He still remembered the happy time they'd spent in the mountains picking medicine together, as well as how she'd passed on a pill to him when he was taken prisoner to be escorted to the capital. She was clearly a fearful person, but she'd still kissed him in front of all of those people to deliver the pill. He still remembered those soft lips and her shaking body vividly.
“What secret?” Jiang Luofu couldn't help but ask. Even though she was cautious about Salamay’s schemes, she didn’t dare to let go of any possibility if it was related to Ji Xiaoxi.
Salamay looked at Zu An. When she saw that he wouldn't stop her, she said with a smile, “This girl’s constitution is special. It's the legendary innate Cruel Poison Constitution.”
“What?!” Zu An and the others were shocked. They had never heard of this before, but judging from its name, it was definitely not a good thing.
When she saw Zu An’s skeptical expression, Salamay didn’t wait for him to ask anything further and immediately explained, “I already felt a sense of familiarity when I first saw this lady, but my thoughts hadn't gone in that direction yet. Only later, when I saw that the poison she created could actually affect the Monster Lord, were my suspicions confirmed.”
Zu An grew silent. The reason why he'd been able to kill the Monster Lord so easily was indeed thanks to the poison Ji Xiaoxi had researched. Even though the Monster Lord’s poisoning wasn’t too severe, the influence on his reaction speed had been greatly helpful.
Salamay continued, “After all, you understand just how powerful the Monster Lord was, and he was proficient in poisons himself. And yet he ended up being affected by a poison created by a human.” She paused for a moment before looking at Ji Xiaoxi and saying, “I recall that when you were still in the underground city, you collected all kinds of medicine manuals. The poison must’ve been made at that time, right?”
Ji Xiaoxi reflexively nodded.
