Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1046: Greed for Wealth Moves the Heart

Compared to Qin Yi's wolfing down, Yun Mengyao was eating delicately and slowly, the two forming a sharp contrast.

Soon, the two filled their stomachs.

As for the wine, neither of them touched it.

After eating, Qin Yi put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, then raised his hand to reveal a surge of Purple Light in his palm, and a drop of black liquid appeared at his fingertips.

Qin Yi casually flicked it, and that drop of black liquid fell to the ground, causing white corrosive foam to appear.

Yun Mengyao's face changed dramatically, "The food here..."

"Yes, the food is poisoned."

Yun Mengyao's delicate face turned pale.

"No worries, this poison won't act quickly, and it can't kill me. Of course, with your cultivation, it's hard to say."

Yun Mengyao stared at Qin Yi, "Did you know the food was poisoned all along?"

Qin Yi nodded.

"Then why did you eat it?"

"I was hungry! Besides, after eating, I'll just force the poison out."

Yun Mengyao: "..."

Old Liu felt completely baffled; what kind of monster is this? Knowing that the food was poisoned and still feasting on it, truly an unwise act.

"Put out your hand."

Yun Mengyao knew Qin Yi was going to help her detoxify, so she quickly put out her hand.

As Qin Yi raised his hand, Purple Light formed a vortex in his palm, capturing Yun Mengyao's hand, and soon a drop of black liquid was drawn out from her palm.

"Alright, all done!" Qin Yi said, casually flicking the black liquid onto the ground.

Yun Mengyao's delicate face contained wrath, "Next time, if something like this happens again, do me a favor and tell me beforehand."

"Would you still be able to eat if I told you?"

Yun Mengyao: "..."

"It's better than being poisoned without knowing, isn't it? I'm not like you; I don't have the skill to treat poison as food."

Qin Yi chuckled, "Don't worry! With me here, you can treat poison as food, drink, or anything."

"Pervert!" Yun Mengyao conceded; for the sake of a meal, knowing it was poisoned and still eating it—how big a heart does this person have?

Old Liu was stunned, he has never seen such an extraordinary person who treats poison casually.

Yun Mengyao glanced at the alcohol on the table, "Is there poison in it too?"

"Yes, the opponent is quite ruthless, poisoning both the food and the wine."

Yun Mengyao angrily asked, "Who exactly poisoned us?"

"Either the owner of this shop or the waiter. Don't forget, once someone is wanted, such transient places receive notifications immediately. My head is worth a hundred thousand gold coins, who doesn't want it? Of course, you're worth nothing, just a bonus."

Yun Mengyao was speechless, what's the pride in being wanted? She really couldn't understand.

"I'm going to settle things with the owner of this shop."

Qin Yi stopped her, "Don't rush, it's unnecessary for you to go, the person who poisoned us will definitely come to find us."

Yun Mengyao's face was full of fury, "I'd like to see who uses such despicable methods."

"This poison isn't strong; it can't be the work of a Qi Refiner. I guess it's either the shop owner or the waiter."

"Whoever it is, trying to kill us, don't blame me for being impolite."

Qin Yi nods slightly. Even if the opponent is ordinary, they clearly want their lives, so such people can't be spared. Being killed is self-inflicted; those who kill will be killed.

The three waited for about an hour.

"They're here!"

Suddenly, Qin Yi spoke up, extending his Divine Thought to see the waiter who served them earlier carefully approaching their room, eavesdropping outside the door.

Seeing no movement inside, the waiter cautiously opened a crack in the door to peek inside, noticing the three lying on the table, a sinister smile appeared on his gaunt face.

He opened the door and walked in.

"Guests, guests..."

The waiter called as he walked towards Qin Yi.

After calling several times, seeing no response from Qin Yi, the waiter immediately revealed a grim smile. Looking at the almost finished dishes, he snickered, "Letting you die as full ghosts is the least we can do."

Then, he sneakily glanced at Yun Mengyao, "Such a beautiful woman I have never seen before, what a pity. But with a hundred thousand gold coins, what kind of woman can't I find?"

The waiter, with a grim face, suddenly revealed obscene eyes, boldly reaching out to touch Yun Mengyao's chest.

Qin Yi smiled slightly, thinking to himself, you're doomed.

"Bang!"

Before the waiter's hand got even close to Yun Mengyao, she suddenly delivered a sidekick, sending the waiter flying and crashing hard against the wall, causing cracks to appear on it.

When the waiter fell to the ground, he was motionless; he was just an ordinary person, unable to withstand a kick from Yun Mengyao, with his organs shattered, he died instantly.

Qin Yi raised his head, looking bored, "Boring, I was planning to pretend to be a zombie to scare him, but you killed him too fast."

Yun Mengyao's delicate face was filled with anger. This vile thing, intending to take advantage of her; kicking him to death was really letting him off easy.

Old Liu quickly stood up, respectfully standing aside with fear. He thought Qin Yi was terrifying enough, but unexpectedly, this beautiful woman killed without blinking. It seems these two people are not to be messed with, he better behave, or he might be the next one dead.

"This incident is barely related to the shop owner," Yun Mengyao said coldly.

Qin Yi shook his head, "I estimate the owner doesn't know; it's the waiter acting alone. He brought us to the guest room, probably recognized us then, and plotted to poison us. If the shop owner was involved, the waiter would've notified him immediately upon discovering we're dead.

Of course, if you feel uncomfortable, you could go kill the owner. After all, this is his shop, and the waiter attempting to poison us involves him."

Yun Mengyao thought for a while and eventually gave up. Since the owner didn't know, she couldn't harm an innocent person.

"Truly, money moves hearts. Even a waiter, for the sake of hundred thousand gold coins, didn't hesitate to attack us viciously. I remember a philosopher once said, when the profit of an act exceeds two hundred percent, human nature isn't even worth mentioning."

Old Liu smiled ingratiatingly, "Young Master Qin, Fairy Yun, you rest for a while, I'll handle the body."

"No need." Yun Mengyao waved her hand, "I want everyone to see, if they want to earn that hundred thousand gold coins, first check if their necks are tough enough. They might earn but not live to spend it."

Qin Yi applauded, "Well said, full of dominance, I toast to you."

Qin Yi had at some point poured himself a glass of wine, and before Yun Mengyao could stop him, he had already drunk it.

"Are you crazy? There's poison in that wine."

"Oh." Qin Yi replied casually.

Oh? Yun Mengyao was speechless, "You truly master the art of courting death, knowing there's poison but still drinking."

Qin Yi smiled smugly, "Actually, I was tricking you, there's no poison in this wine."

Yun Mengyao: "..."
