Poison Genius Consort

an Yunxi, but this was actually putting her down.
If Han Yunxi couldn’t find the fires within that timeframe, wouldn’t she lose face?

Too lazy to acknowledge the snide, Han Yunxi stopped asking questions.
Aunt Ru didn’t know much about the earthly fire anyways, so she might as well look for herself and discuss with the others.
They quickened their pace and soon climbed over the mountain to its sunny side.
Fire Spring was hidden deep in a valley here.
If not for this path, they would never be able to tell where it was.
Soon after descending into the ravine, Gu Qishao yelled out, “It’s over there!”

The group looked in the direction he was pointing and only saw a swathe of red covering the valley like something on fire.

“Yes yes, that’s the spot,” Aunt Ru smiled.

“It really does look like flames.
It’s beautiful,” Han Yunxi had long activated her detox system, but it was too far for her to detect any poisons.

“Princess, do you see? The Fire Spring’s right there.
It’ll be dark by the time we climb down.
How about we come back tomorrow?” Aunt Ru suddenly suggested retreat.

“No need, we’ll go take a look first,” Han Yunxi said simply.

“That’s true.
Princess’s poison skills are the first in the world.
Perhaps you’ll even find the earthly fire before night falls,” Aunt Ru immediately praised Han Yunxi to the high heavens.
However, Han Yunxi had seen her share of silent kills like this.
She only felt it boring and pointless!

Ignoring Aunt Ru’s remarks, she took Long Feiye’s hand, and he brought her down via flight.
Gu Qishao, Tang Li, and the rest all followed suit.
A smirk rose to Aunt Ru’s mouth as she brought up the rear.
She had already searched this place up to ten times before their arrival and even probed into the spring itself, but didn’t find any sign of a giant furnace.
She didn’t begrudge her praise for Han Yunxi, but wanted to see just how skilled the woman was.

Very soon, the group reached the edge of Fire Spring.
Before they got close, Han Yunxi had already picked up signs of the poison within its waters, but she couldn’t identify any details.
The Fire Spring was quite large and made a rough circle.
The water was bright red and bubbling with a charming sort of beauty.
Han Yunxi carefully observed her surroundings and saw signs of digging around the water from Aunt Ru’s previous efforts.
She also noticed that the lifeless dirt around the spring carried traces of the same poison, hidden deep.

After some hesitation, she concluded, “The ground is warm, so the poison’s hidden underground.
It affected the water and dirt as a result.”

“Then it has to be earthly poison! Could the Earthly Fire Kun Furnace be at the bottom of this spring?”

Han Yunxi was more prudent than that.
“Not necessarily.
It might be a different poison, I can’t tell.”

Although she could make inferences from her findings, there was only an 80 percent chance that this was what they were looking for.
Discovering the furnace would raise the chances to 90 percent, but no one could confirm that Earthly Fire Kun Furnace would give them the Fire of Ten-Thousand Poisons.
She had drawn her deductions from Pill Furnace Master’s words.

They had to wait until they possessed the earthly fire and mixed it with a drop of Perplexing Butterfly Illusion to see if it formed a poison teardrop! Perplexing Butterfly Illusion was the weapon against Bai Yanqing’s undying body, so she didn’t dare act careless.

Without hesitation, Long Feiye said, “Xu Donglin, find men to channel water out of this spring!”

Aunt Ru drawled from the sidelines, “That’s difficult work that will take at least five to six days.
I thought the princess would show us the fire as soon as she showed up.”

Han Yunxi continued to ignore her, but she did stop Xu Donglin.
“No need to get them involved.” Then she jumped into the spring!

“Han Yunxi!” “Poison lass!” Long Feiye reached out for her just as Gu Qishao rushed over, but both of them missed.
The rest only had time to give a start.
After all, the Five Elemental Poisons had no antidote.
If Han Yunxi poisoned herself, there’d be no saving her.

While the group collectively reeled, Aunt Ru included, Han Yunxi soon showed them a miracle.
Before she touched the water, it vanished without a drop.
The entire spring was about as deep as the height of two people, so she ended up standing at the bottom and grinning at them all.
Long Feiye was so scared that he’d broken out into cold sweat, but couldn’t help laughing at the sight.
How could he forget that she had the poison storage space? Besides the Ten-Thousand Poisons, she couldn’t freely take in other toxins into that dimension yet.
But because this poison was a direct threat to her welfare, her poison storage space would activate to absorb it all.
Jumping straight into the spring was akin to being attacked by its poisons.

Han Yunxi continued to smile as her gaze trailed towards Aunt Ru, only to see…

Ruyi’s Thoughts

I couldn’t help but feel sorry for Aunt Ru here because it’s a little pathetic that she’s trying so hard to put Han Yunxi down in front of her husband and friends, all of whom know her strengths much better than her.
It’s like seeing a Lv 50 villain attempting to swagger over the hero while not knowing she’s already trained to Lv 125.

She’s so hopelessly outclassed that I actually found her later efforts more hilarious than annoying, haha.
