Are you really trying to cultivate immortality? Something feels off.

After drinking too much, the group became increasingly unrestrained in their speech.

Shen Chunri slowly spoke: "My benefactors, judging from your voices, are you from the Northern Imperial Guard?"

The man beside her, his eyes glazed with drink, reached out to put his arm around her: "You, a mere maid, know about the Northern Imperial Guard?"

Shen Chunri subtly dodged the attack and grasped his hand: "Of course, the Northern Imperial Guard is incredibly powerful, how could anyone not know? But I've heard that the Northern Imperial Guard is in charge of Qingzhou, and your benefactors are all extraordinary individuals, surely pillars of the Guard. Why would they come here to Chidi?"

"What do you know?" the man said, beaming with pride. "We were ordered to come to the Nanchuan base to work, so of course they're giving us an important position..."

"I see," Shen Chunri smiled and put his arm around his shoulder, his fingers touching the Huiyang acupoint on the back of his neck. "You have a base, huh?"

The man opposite seemed to sense something was amiss, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "How could a maid like you be so familiar with the Northern Imperial Guard?"

"Because," Shen Chunri smiled, her snake-like vertical pupils incredibly beautiful, gleaming with a glassy green light in the flickering candlelight, "I have a gift for you."

The man seemed a little confused: "What?"

Shen Chunri suddenly tightened her grip on the man's nape, her fingers digging into his vital points. Her smile grew even more radiant and sinister as she parted her thin lips, her voice low and menacing: "Of course... I'll send you to your deaths."

"Well--!"

The men under her command didn't even have time to scream before they looked up, opened their eyes, and died on the spot.

The remaining two instantly came to their senses, tried to get up but slumped back down.

They were completely weak, their muscles and bones ached, and they couldn't even muster a trace of spiritual power.

"You…" the man exclaimed in shock, "You poisoned us… How is that possible?"

Having roamed the martial world for many years, they could distinguish ordinary poisons by smell alone. How could the woman in front of them have drugged them without them noticing?

"Self-righteous," Shen Chunri casually pushed aside the corpse beside her, stood up, and proudly blew on her bangs. "When it comes to poison, even if you sincerely wanted to call me 'Great-Grandma,' I might not be willing to accept it."

She tucked a stray hair behind her ear, revealing a faint smile, deliberately lowering her voice and her eyes gleaming mischievously: "Isn't that right, my benefactor?"

Tan Suiting pushed open the door and entered, raising an eyebrow slightly before turning to report outside: "One person has died."

"What about the remaining two?" Xie Weixing's voice came through. "What are they for? To offer incense to the deceased one during Qingming Festival?"

Yu Xintang's voice rang out, filled with worry and doubt: "Xie Xiaoshui, don't you think you've been too bloody?"

"What?" Xie Weixing asked, bewildered. "Did you suddenly awaken a kind personality after showing a live sex show to a minor?"

Yu Xintang flew into a rage: "Xie Weixing, are you trying to die?"

"Stop arguing," a cold female voice rang out. "Are you two out of your minds?"

The two chuckled in unison, then fell silent.

After listening to the first-ever account of the quarrel between the Feng Hua clan members from an outsider's perspective, Shen Chunri suddenly felt that their sect had really raised a lot of pigs.

You give the Feng Hua Sect a genius, and the Feng Hua Sect returns a fool to you.

"Let's keep one," Shen Chunri suggested. "I just asked, and they have a base in Chidi."

Xie Weixing poked his head out and raised an eyebrow: "Okay, then hurry up."

"What's the rush? I'm killing them," Shen Chunri said impatiently. The second man didn't even have time to scream before blood splattered everywhere. "In a hurry to reincarnate?"

"Senior Sister sent a communication talisman back yesterday, saying she'll be back within three days," Xie Weixing reminded her, arms crossed, leaning against the door. "If it's late, the old man will start nagging again, and he'll talk until midnight. Do you want to sleep in the Hall of Longevity?"

As memories of the past flashed through her mind, Shen Chunri shuddered involuntarily. Without hesitation, she grabbed the remaining one: "Give me directions! Where's your hideout?"

"Who...who are you...?" The man trembled all over.

The gruesome death of his companion made him realize that the girl's previous fragility was all an act, and her ruthless and vicious methods were completely unlike those of a righteous person.

"You're not worthy to know my identity!" Shen Chunri's vertical pupils were cold and sharp. "Enough nonsense, speak!"

The man trembled: "I'll take you there. Few know the location of the stronghold, and you'll need a token to enter. Please spare my life, heroes, I'm willing to serve you..."

"Alright," Shen Chunri raised an eyebrow, raised his hand, and cleanly and neatly forced a pill into his mouth. "This is the Azure Sky Pill. Without my unique antidote, you will surely die within two hours. Help us find the stronghold, and I will give you a way out."

The man quickly nodded: "Okay, I promise, I'll agree to anything, just don't kill me... I still have a wife and children..."

Shen Chunri grabbed the man and kicked him in the butt: "Lead the way for this lady."

Xie Weixing stepped forward and hooked his arm around her shoulder: "Wow, Little Snake, you can sing and act. How come I never knew you were such a rare talent in the performing arts?"

"You flatter me," Shen Chunri said, crossing his arms and flicking his bangs with his fingers. "It's mainly because I've learned a lot from Yu Xintang about your double act with Xiao Tan, so I'm quite experienced in this area."

Tan Suiting: ?

Xie Weixing, used to being teased, laughed and replied, "Sure, sure."

Tan Suiting was dissatisfied. He pulled the person closer to him, frowned, and looked at Shen Chunri: "Shen Chunri, aren't you annoying?"

Shen Chunri asked innocently, "What happened to me?"

Xie Weixing leaned against Tan Suiting, his expression instantly changing. He solemnly echoed, "Exactly! Why are you copying us? Are you proud of yourself? Aren't you annoying?"

Shen Chunri opened her mouth wide and tilted her head: "Xie Weixing, do you have to change your tune so quickly? Did Xiao Tan drug you and you listen to everything he says? We're fellow disciples, why are you being biased!"

Tan Suiting was a little happy. He thought to himself that since his senior brother had helped him, he wouldn't bother with this stinky snake. So he snorted coldly and turned his head away from her.

I finally got my revenge for not bumping into someone's butt last time.

Shen Chunri grabbed Nie Zhao, looking aggrieved: "Senior sister, senior sister, look at him—"

"Alright," Nie Zhao said, feeling dizzy from being shaken, and finally lost his temper. "Don't you two have anything better to do all day? If you keep causing trouble, when we get back to the sect, you two will kneel down at the entrance of the Hall of Longevity and say 'I love you' a hundred times face to face."

Shen Chunri became quiet and after a long while, she spoke up, humming and hawing, "Then, Senior Sister, do you think I'm amazing or not?"

"Impressive," Nie Zhao replied.

Yu Xintang hugged her: "Well done, little snake. You are a great strategic talent of Fenghua Sect. You are simply your senior uncle's favorite disciple and your master's precious little devil."

Shen Chunri was flattered and felt a cheap, insignificant smile: "Hehe."

The man led the group to the north of Chidi, and after turning left and right, they finally found a secluded dwelling.
