The Asura King spoke very bluntly, and anyone who wasn't foolish could easily understand the meaning behind his words.

The reason the Asura King was so straightforward was entirely because he wanted to be honest with Ye Xunhuan, making it clear that when he, the Asura King, spoke, he meant what he said!

After making his point, the Asura King turned around and left, leaving the space to Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi, and Qianhuan Liuyun.

After taking a few steps, as if remembering something, the Asura King stopped again and said to Ye Xunhuan, "Marshal, Michelle is not here right now, but you will definitely see her tonight."

Once those words were spoken, this time, the Asura King left without looking back.

After the Asura King left, Ye Xunhuan immediately asked Qiu Ruoxi, "Honey, did they give you any trouble?"

Before Qiu Ruoxi could speak, Qianhuan Liuyun knelt on one knee on the ground: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I..."

This sudden action by Qianhuan Liuyun startled Qiu Ruoxi. She knew Qianhuan Liuyun was arranged by Ye Xunhuan to be by her side, and she also knew Qianhuan Liuyun was Ye Xunhuan's subordinate.

But she never expected Qianhuan Liuyun to kneel and bow before Ye Xunhuan.

"Liu Yun, get up quickly, what are you doing!" Qiu Ruoxi said urgently, as she made to help Qianhuan Liuyun up from the ground.

However, Qianhuan Liuyun showed no intention of getting up. Although Qiu Ruoxi was indeed Ye Xunhuan's wife, and also the queen in Ye Xunhuan's kingdom, the one who truly held power, and whom people feared and revered, was Ye Xunhuan.

This is like when an emperor and empress appeared together in ancient times, and courtiers knelt in greeting. If the emperor did not speak to allow them to rise, would they dare to rise if the empress spoke?

After all, it was the emperor who truly held the power over life and death!

Ye Xunhuan naturally understood what Qianhuan Liuyun was thinking and sighed softly in his heart, then quickly said, "Get up, I'm not blaming you!"

"And I've told you all before, there's no need for this, just treat me as a friend."

Saying this, Ye Xunhuan slowly extended his hand, pulling Qianhuan Liuyun up from the ground.

Pulled by Ye Xunhuan, Qianhuan Liuyun stood up from the ground, a look of gratitude filling his face.

"How are you both, did they trouble you?"

Hearing Ye Xunhuan's question again, both Qianhuan Liuyun and Qiu Ruoxi were quite puzzled and confused.

After being captured by the Asura King, the Asura King treated them as honored guests. Let alone doing anything to them, as long as they asked, the Asura King would do whatever he could.

Of course, leaving was completely out of the question.

This made Qiu Ruoxi doubt more than once whether she was captured or actually invited as a guest?

Qiu Ruoxi shook her head lightly and said, "No, they were quite polite to us."

"Did either of you feel unwell?"

This time, before Qiu Ruoxi could speak, Qianhuan Liuyun said, "Sire, I have checked the food they provided; there's no poison. However, they say this is Miao territory, and Miao people are adept with poisons. I can't tell if they used any magic!"

Poisons, mysterious since ancient times, have appeared very early in history!

In the eighth year of the Song Renzong's reign, he promulgated the "Qingli Beneficial Treatment" book introducing methods to treat poisons. Even in medical texts like "Discussions on Various Diseases," "Thousand Gold Prescriptions," and the "Compendium of Materia Medica," there is detailed analysis and treatment methods for poison symptoms.

Although poisons have almost disappeared from the public eye now, except in films and TV shows, they are nearly impossible to find in reality.

Yet it must be admitted that these things do exist.

After all, even the records in "Thousand Gold Prescriptions" and the "Compendium of Materia Medica" confirm their existence.

Although poisons exist, Ye Xunhuan neither knows how to treat them nor how to check for them.

This made Ye Xunhuan feel that the Asura King's suggestion for him to check Qiu Ruoxi was complete nonsense.

And Qianhuan Liuyun, as a Ninja, knows a little about poisons, as Ninjas are concerned with the final result of an assassination, not the process.

But regarding poisons, she knows nothing, having never encountered them before, making it impossible for both Ye Xunhuan and Qianhuan Liuyun to check!

Helpless, Ye Xunhuan had to give up, figuring that since he wasn't unable to leave, he could find someone outside who understood, maybe even Olivia!

After all, Olivia is from the blood clan, having lived for countless centuries, with experiences far beyond what an ordinary person could imagine.

Therefore, Ye Xunhuan wasn't overly anxious, knowing that even if the Asura King poisoned Qiu Ruoxi, nothing would happen in the short term.

Subsequently, Ye Xunhuan asked how Qianhuan Liuyun and Qiu Ruoxi were captured, but both were entirely clueless, not knowing how they ended up captured.

The only thing they knew was that when they awoke, they were already in a car.

Ye Xunhuan realized that no matter what he asked, it was pointless, but nevertheless, he sensed the terrifying nature of the Asura King.

Capturing Qiu Ruoxi without anyone noticing wasn't difficult, but doing the same with Qianhuan Liuyun wasn't easy.

Yet the Asura King managed it; there must be many secrets hidden in Miao territory.

...

After leaving, the Asura King did not go to prepare some dinner as he had told Ye Xunhuan. Instead, he met with the woman who had brought Ye Xunhuan here!

"How is the Marshal?"

"Sire, he is formidable. Even for an assassination, I have no confidence in succeeding!" The woman said earnestly, "Earlier at the hotel, I thought he had let his guard down and went for him, but he easily subdued me!"

The Asura King was not surprised by the woman's words and said calmly, "No one who becomes a lord of the underground world is mediocre!"

"Moreover, he is the son of Qin Fenghuang. If you could easily take him down, his position would have long since changed hands."

"Sire, knowing the Marshal's prowess, why not control his wife and use him for your ends? That way, we could claim half of the underground world. Even if the Guardians launched a full-scale war, we might not lose!"

"If total war does break out, Holy War could follow, and those forces victimized by the Guardians in Holy War might very well all rise, and your great enterprise would be fulfilled!"

The woman's eyes shone brightly as she spoke, her beautiful face full of excitement, as if she could already see the Asura King defeating the Guardians and becoming the new king!
