Simultaneous Transmigration: The Re-merging of 99 Selves

Chapter 98 Zhao Yu's Deal

Ren Yingying subconsciously touched the veil on her face, about to explain, but before she could speak, she saw Zhao Yu raise his hand and stroke her face.

Ren Yingying was startled and quickly stepped back.

However, even though she clearly saw that Zhao Yu's palm was not moving fast, she couldn't dodge it no matter what she did.

I felt a blur before my eyes, and then a cool sensation on my face.

By the time she realized what was happening, Zhao Yu had already sat back down, holding her white veil in his hand.

Ren Yingying's face instantly turned bright red.

No matter how shrewd she was, she was still just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. Being so disrespected by a strange man filled her with shame and anger.

"Young Master Zhao! What do you mean by this?" She stood up abruptly. "Such rudeness is hardly the behavior of a gentleman!"

Zhao Yu did not answer, but instead looked at her with great interest.

Ren Yingying's skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as paintings, and her eyes were clear and bright. At this moment, she was slightly angry, which made her even more attractive.

Zhao Yu smiled and tossed the veil onto the table: "I never claimed to be a gentleman. Besides, you invited me here, yet you wore a veil and refused to show your true face. Who was rude first?"

Ren Yingying was speechless after hearing what he said.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing her anger, she put on a smile again: "Young Master Zhao is right, it was Yingying who didn't think things through. In that case, I'll go change my clothes and come see the guests again."

After saying that, she turned and walked into the inner room.

Zhao Yu watched her retreating figure, a smile playing on his lips.

He did that on purpose to shake Ren Yingying's resolve.

This woman is meticulous and has a deep mind. If I can keep her calm, it will be difficult to get any useful information out of her.

Disrupting her rhythm now will allow us to take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations.

A moment later, Ren Yingying came out from the inner room.

She had changed out of her ethereal white dress and into a lake-green gown, which made her appear less aloof and more gentle.

Her veil was no longer on her face, revealing her exquisitely beautiful features.

"I apologize for keeping Young Master Zhao waiting." She nodded slightly to Zhao Yu, then called out to the outside, "Sect Leader Lan, bring the wine up."

"Here you are!"

Lan Fenghuang's clear voice came from outside. She walked in carrying a tray with a wine pot and wine glasses on it.

Lan Fenghuang placed the wine cups in front of the two of them, then picked up the wine pot and began to pour the wine.

The wine is translucent white and has a rich floral aroma.

But if you get close enough to smell it, you can detect a faint, fishy odor.

What's most chilling is that at the bottom of the wine pot, five poisonous creatures are clearly visible: a green snake, a centipede, a spider, a scorpion, and a toad—the five poisonous creatures.

"Young Master Zhao, please."

Ren Yingying picked up her wine glass and looked at Zhao Yu with a smile: "This wine has a unique flavor and can also strengthen the body. Please try it, young master."

Lan Fenghuang stood aside, watching Zhao Yu with a grin, waiting to see a good show.

Zhao Yu looked at the wine in his glass and understood.

This must be the Five Treasures Flower Honey Wine from the original story.

This wine is a miraculous healing medicine for those with conflicting internal energies, but it is a deadly poison for ordinary people.

Ren Yingying brought out this wine simply to give her a warning.

If you don't dare to drink, you've already lost the battle in terms of momentum.

Now that he knew the key to it, Zhao Yu naturally did not hesitate. He picked up his wine glass, raised it to Ren Yingying, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Upon tasting the wine, one is first greeted by a sweet floral aroma, followed by a spicy warmth that slides down the throat and flows throughout the body.

The toxicity of those five poisons was completely neutralized by Zhao Yu's profound Northern Darkness True Qi the moment they entered his body.

Moreover, the essence of these poisons was absorbed by Zhao Yu, nourishing his meridians.

Zhao Yu put down his wine glass, wiped his mouth, and said calmly, "It is indeed fine wine, with a mellow taste and a strong aftertaste. Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Ren."

Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang were both stunned.

They originally thought that even if Zhao Yu knew the wine was not poisonous, he would hesitate.

Unexpectedly, he was so decisive, drinking it down without even blinking. He was truly bold.

Lan Fenghuang couldn't help but step forward: "Little Lang, are you alright? Do you feel unwell anywhere? If you've been poisoned, I have the antidote here."

As she spoke, she took out a pill from her waist.

"No need," Zhao Yu waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm fine. This wine is indeed excellent. After drinking it, I feel completely refreshed. Thank you for your hospitality, Master Lan."

He could clearly feel that after drinking this cup of Five Treasures Honey Wine, his resistance to ordinary poisons had increased considerably.

In the future, when I encounter any experts in using poison, I will be more confident.

It took Ren Yingying a while to come to her senses.

Looking at Zhao Yu's composed expression, she felt even more that he was unfathomable. All the backup plans she had prepared were now useless.

She composed herself, picked up her wine glass, and took a small sip.

Then, Ren Yingying put down her wine cup and said seriously, "Young Master Zhao is indeed a man of few words. Now that we've drunk the wine, let's get down to business."

"Dongfang Bubai will arrive at Hengshan soon. He has come down the mountain to kill you. He will be accompanied by dozens of elite members of the Divine Cult. Although Hengshan is large, there is no place for you to hide."

Ren Yingying looked at Zhao Yu and said sincerely, "Now, only I can help you hide your whereabouts from the Divine Sect, send you away from Hengshan, and escape Dongfang Bubai's pursuit."

Zhao Yu slowly asked, "And what are your conditions?"

Ren Yingying continued, "The condition is very simple. I don't want anything in return. I just want you to do me a favor afterward. Go to the West Lake and help me rescue someone."

Zhao Yu understood immediately; as expected, she wanted him to rescue Ren Woxing.

"I appreciate Miss Ren's kindness. However, I don't need your help to escape."

Ren Yingying frowned: "Young Master Zhao, don't act rashly. Dongfang Bubai's martial arts are truly beyond your imagination. His movements are like a ghost; ordinary people..."

"I know Dongfang Bubai is very powerful."

Zhao Yu interrupted her, his tone calm yet brimming with confidence: "However, just because he's powerful doesn't mean I'm afraid of him."

He leaned forward slightly, looked into Ren Yingying's eyes, and said earnestly, "I have another deal to make. I wonder if Miss Ren would be willing to listen?"

Ren Yingying looked at him with some surprise: "Oh? What kind of deal does Young Master Zhao have? Please tell me."

Zhao Yu said, word by word, "I'll help you kill Dongfang Bubai. In exchange, you lend me Master Lan for a while, how about it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Ren Yingying suddenly stood up, looking at Zhao Yu in disbelief, as if the person in front of her had gone mad.

Lan Fenghuang's eyes widened, and she almost dropped the wine pot in her hand.

Zhao Yu dared to declare that he would kill Dongfang Bubai?
