Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 1041 - 1030: The Ever-Victorious General

"Why can’t it be? Is the poison from Hengqing Valley really omnipotent?" Ye Qiu looked at Hu Bin with undisguised sarcasm.

Hu Bin misunderstood her meaning, thinking that Ye Qiu already knew about Hengqing Valley and had interacted with its people. After all, her father came from Hengqing Valley, so it made sense that he would’ve trained her as well.

"However, you still can’t neutralize the poison. This poison has a thousand formulations, and consequently a thousand antidotes. I’ve not only changed the dosage but also altered two of the ingredients. Miss, why else do you think I am so confident?" Hu Bin looked at Ye Qiu with eyes full of possessiveness.

"I know you’re a kind-hearted person. For your grandpa and uncles and aunts, you surely wouldn’t gamble with their lives, would you? Marry me, and I promise I’ll treat you well for the rest of my life. We could be together forever, isn’t that nice? Since you know about these things, you should also know that I’ve never touched your cousin. I’m pure, and still worthy of you! Marry me, and I’ll save them." Hu Bin said, his voice bordering on madness.

"You despicable scoundrel! Aren’t you afraid of facing your parents in the afterlife? How they treated you back then, yet now you are threatening their daughter?" Grandpa Tong was so enraged by his shameless words that he started coughing, his face turning beet red. "Even if it costs me this old life today, I will never comply with your demands."

"What do you know? You think I don’t know the intentions of those people in the capital? You all think those nobles are any good? All they desire is Qiu’er’s power and prestige, but only I, only I genuinely care for Qiu’er! Her parents would be overjoyed to know that I will cherish their daughter for a lifetime!" Hu Bin retorted loudly.

"Scoundrel, you’re a scoundrel! You deserve to be in endless Hell!" Aunt Tong cursed, holding the sobbing Tong Minmin tightly.

"Go ahead and curse, I don’t care anymore, as long as Qiu’er marries me," said Hu Bin as he moved closer to Ye Qiu. "Qiu’er, don’t worry, after we get married, I’ll personally bow to Father and Mother-in-law. And Cheng Hu, don’t worry about him wanting to find Hengqing Valley; he doesn’t know that the address I gave him leads to a poisonous forest, and once he’s in, he’ll never come out. As for Zaha, if you want revenge, we can plot against him. If you wish to wield force at the border, we can negotiate clandestinely; with military power in hand, even Your Majesty can’t summon us back. We can live as a blissful couple by the border."

"Are you finished speaking?" Ye Qiu looked at him icily.

"Why aren’t you panicking? Why aren’t you eager or happy?" Hu Bin questioned, feeling more unsettled as Ye Qiu’s calm composure made him feel ridiculous.

No, this can’t be. He has always been suave and graceful. How could his image in her heart be shattered like this?

"If you’re done, it’s my turn to speak." Ye Qiu’s sharp eyes fixed on him, and then she raised her right hand and slapped him hard. "You truly disgust me!"

"What did you say?" He was stunned at hearing those words.

"I said you’re disgusting." Ye Qiu used her words like knives to pierce his heart again. "Ungrateful, treacherous, heartless, selfish... You make me sick. Marry you? Are you even worthy?"

Hu Bin listened, forcing a bitter smile: "I know I’m not worthy. You’re an Eldest Lady as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, and I’m just a beggar who can’t even find food. So I worked hard to learn things I had no interest in, practiced fake manners, all in the hope of being worthy of you someday. But even if I do my best, I still won’t be worthy. But Qiu’er, you must understand, I’m the one who loves you most in this world; no one can love you like I do."

"Such love from you, I really can’t afford it." Ye Qiu looked at him coldly. "Hu Bin, there’s no need to say more. I don’t know where you got the confidence that this little poison would make me compromise. Seeing you act so arrogantly is quite amusing."

"What did you say?" Hu Bin’s smile froze again.

"I meant that I have already neutralized the poison," Ye Qiu said icily, looking at him. "Having watched enough of your farce, I find it not very funny. So, let’s end this now!"

"Impossible, that’s impossible!" Hu Bin still refused to believe it.

"There’s nothing impossible about it. Without absolute certainty, I wouldn’t gamble with the lives of my remaining family. Since you love using poisons, try tasting the elixir I concocted." With that, she flicked a pill into his mouth.

Hu Bin clutched his throat, his face turning red and black: "What did you give me? Qiu’er, why are you doing this to me?"

"There’s no need to act so pathetic; it’s not a Poison. However, it will destroy what you are most confident about," Ye Qiu smiled mysteriously.

"What are you saying? I don’t understand your meaning."

"You don’t understand now, but soon you will," Ye Qiu lowered her eyes. The Elixir she gave was not particularly magical; it merely contained a spell from the Soul Power Technique, making one’s Divine Sense muddled.

Ordinarily, it wouldn’t affect someone who doesn’t think deeply; it just means the more they think, the fuzzier their brain gets, leading to increasingly childish actions.

What Hu Bin was most confident about was his skills, but Ye Qiu wanted him to feel the frustration of having abilities that fail him at critical moments.

"Here’s the divorce paper. Sign it." After giving him the Elixir, Ye Qiu took out two sheets of paper. "After signing, we each keep a copy, and you will have no more ties with my cousin."

"I can’t sign, but if I sign, then what happens?" Hu Bin suddenly frowned. He knew he shouldn’t sign the divorce paper, but couldn’t grasp why. He held his head in his hands, feeling it was a total mess inside.

"I’m the Eldest Lady, you should listen to me. I want you to sign." Ye Qiu commanded him.

"Sign, I’ll listen to the Eldest Lady." Hu Bin muttered, somewhat bewildered.

But after signing, he felt something was off. He dropped the pen, wanting to snatch the paper back, but how could he be faster than Ye Qiu?

"Cousin, let’s go." Holding the divorce paper, Ye Qiu smiled softly at Tong Minmin. "These years, you’ve been aggrieved, cousin."

"Just let him go like this?" Tong Minmin frowned, "We have evidence of his collusion with the enemy, why not imprison him?"

"Rest assured, Cousin, I have my plans. Someone like him being in prison is not the best punishment." Ye Qiu gave a strange smile to Hu Bin. "Military Adviser Hu, until we meet again."

Hu Bin watched helplessly as she left with the Tong Family. He had so much he wanted to say to her, to make them stay, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn’t sort them out. What was happening to him?
