Chapter 335 The Poison King
"Grandma, you've arrived."

The female manager of the dye house addressed Zhu's second sister as "Grandma".

That's not wrong. She's a fairy who's hundreds of years old. She's been running a dye shop and cloth store in the Women's Kingdom for a century. Many people in the dye shop grew up here.

"Go down."

Several maids served tea and pastries, and decorated the courtyard with candles and paper lanterns before leaving.

The courtyard was covered with paper lanterns, making it look like the Lantern Festival. The whole place was brightly lit, illuminating the exquisite makeup on Zhu's second sister's face.

The fourth princess heard a commotion outside her room and heard a maid come to deliver a message. She then went out of her room and walked to the courtyard where the second sister of the Zhu family was.

With just one glance, the Fourth Princess confirmed the identity of the second sister of the Zhu family.

The demonic aura on earthly spirits cannot be hidden, just as the water vapor on the dragons of the four seas cannot be hidden. Gods and demons of different identities all have unique auras on their bodies, which can be discerned at a glance if one knows a little about aura observation.

However, Zhu's second sister had no need to hide her identity. She hadn't done anything wrong on her own territory, so even if the gods in heaven came down, they couldn't interfere with her.

"Fourth Princess, Second Sister Zhu is too kind. She said she would make me a set of clothes."

Standing in the courtyard by the roadside with her arms raised, Zhu's second sister was measuring the size of clothes for the person standing by the roadside with a measuring tape.

The fourth princess saw this and felt a little uncomfortable.

Taking measurements for clothes, and people are practically lying on the roadside.

The second sister of the Zhu family is about 1.7 meters tall, which is not short for a woman, but she looks petite and cute next to someone standing on the roadside.

"Thank you for taking care of me, sister. I will also make you a set of clothes."

After taking measurements of the woman by the roadside, the second sister of the Zhu family walked to the fourth princess with a smile on her face.

"No need."

"I have enough clothes."

The fourth princess waved her hand.

"Where are you from, sister? You have an air of nobility about you, so you must not be from an ordinary family."

"My father is the Dragon King of the East Sea," the Fourth Princess said calmly.

"Ah..." Zhu's second sister's mouth opened slightly, as if she had been surprised.

The Fourth Princess didn't pay much attention to Zhu's Second Sister's reaction.

For these country bumpkins, the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas is enough for them to look up to for a lifetime.

The Dragon Clan of the Four Seas may seem easy to bully based on their stories, but if anyone actually takes those stories seriously, they'll really become a laughing stock.

"My fifth sister is so lucky; she met a benefactor when she went out."

The fourth princess sat down and listened to the second sister of the Zhu family speaking politely to her, not repeating a single word.

The fourth princess was drinking tea and eating pastries when she saw the second sister of the Zhu family treating her with utmost respect, and she couldn't help but laugh.

“My benefactor, these clothes can be made in a day, without delaying your journey.”

"Second Sister Zhu, do you know where the Pipa Cave on Poisonous Enemy Mountain is?" someone asked by the roadside.

"My benefactor, why would you want to go to that place?"

Judging from my second sister's expression by the roadside, she probably knows where the Pipa Cave in Poisonous Enemy Mountain is.

“Go take a look, have a look,” the roadside replied.

"My benefactor, do you have a grudge against the monsters of Poisonous Enemy Mountain?" the second sister asked.

"Are there monsters there?"

"There is a scorpion demon called King Poisonous Enemy."

"The poisonous enemy king..."

I looked at the agarwood by the roadside.

"That Poison King even came to my house to propose marriage, wanting to marry my eldest sister, but my mother refused."

Zhu Family Village is ruled by a group of spider demons, while the Poisonous Enemy King is a scorpion demon; both are arthropods and belong to the same category.

A hint of worry suddenly flashed across Zhu's second sister's face.

Back then, it was only because their mother was still alive that they were able to refuse the King of Poison, but what should they do if the King of Poison comes knocking on their door again now?
"If my benefactor wishes to go, I'll be your guide tomorrow," said Zhu's second sister with a smile to the roadside.

"That's great." The person by the roadside smiled back.

"Can you tell me about this Poison King?" someone asked by the roadside. "That Poison King is a thousand-year-old demon."

"In the past, she was the lover of Feng Yuemo, the original owner of Pipa Cave on Poisonous Enemy Mountain. She had a litter of baby scorpions with Feng Yuemo, but none of them were female. Then King Poisonous Enemy was kicked out."

"Poisonous Enemy Mountain is near the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, so women are naturally the most respected in the mountain. Moreover, only the female scorpion can inherit the Wind and Moon Demon's Horse-Diving Poison. King Poisonous Enemy has been labeled as a coward and incompetent."

As they gossiped, Zhu's second sister also laughed.

"Is that so?"

"The Poisonous Enemy King is a male scorpion."

"Besides the Poison King?" someone asked from the roadside.

"That's all." Zhu's second sister shrugged.

"Just one monster, the Poison King?" Lu Bian wondered.

"Mm." The second sister nodded.

"Didn't they say that the Demoness of Love and the King of Poison had a lot of boys?" Lu Bian asked in confusion.

"They were all eaten by the Demon of Love and Lust," the second sister said calmly.

"Eat...eat?!" Both Lu Bian and Chen Xiang were surprised.

"That's normal."

"The Demon of Wind and Moon is a female scorpion, and it's perfectly normal for a female scorpion to eat the baby scorpions she gave birth to."

The second sister of the Zhu family said, seemingly unsurprised.

"..."

The way people on the roadside looked at Zhu's second sister became strange.

This second sister is also a spider spirit, and spiders seem to have similar habits, which is frightening to think about.

It seemed that Zhu's second sister had guessed what Lu Bian was thinking, and her expression was somewhat displeased.

“We are not like the monsters in those mountains,” the second sister said, frowning.

"That's because they were uneducated. And look at us, aren't we human?"

The second sister showed off her figure in front of everyone on the roadside and even gave the person on the roadside a flirtatious wink.

"It's a person." He nodded as he watched his second sister circle around him several times.

"That Poison King also eats people, especially women," the second sister added.

"If we're just going to visit Poisonous Enemy Mountain, let's go quietly and not disturb the Poisonous Enemy King."

"What if we alert him?" someone asked from the roadside.

"It also depends on whether he has any sense. My benefactor, do you want him to live or die?" the second sister replied.

"I don't have that much of a temper, do I?" someone on the roadside said.

"That Poison King has a terrible temper," the second sister said.

……

The next day, Lu Bian and Chen Xiang got up early and went to Poisonous Enemy Mountain with Zhu's second sister.

The sun had just risen, and the rooster crowed three times in the early morning when the three arrived at Poisonous Enemy Mountain.

According to Zhu Jia's second sister, the lover of the Poison King, Feng Yue Mo, was killed by the Pleiades Star Lord. At sunrise, the Poison King would hide and not easily appear. Morning is a good time to visit Poison Mountain.

"Could that thing be the Poison King?"

Pointing to a large scorpion hiding inside a nine-foot-tall wine jar with half its tail sticking out, she asked her second sister.

"Yes, that's him."

The scorpion's tail twitched from time to time, indicating that the Venomous Enemy King was still alive and had not been put into a wine jar to be soaked in alcohol by someone.

"This Poison King has a business; he sells aphrodisiac wine."

"So that's how aphrodisiac wine is made."

The second sister was speechless.

The Poison King soaked himself in the wine, and that's how the aphrodisiac wine made from a thousand-year-old scorpion came about.
