Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

Chapter 919 Poisoning

“It’s good to look at but useless!”

Faced with the three men's fierce attack, Lin Ping smiled calmly.

He slowly raised his palm, and the seemingly slow movement easily gripped the fists of the two people next to him.

Lin Ping twisted his thick, powerful arms into a pretzel shape like noodles. Even after completing this series of movements, the man in the middle still didn't throw a punch, which was enough to prove how many times faster the two were.

Bang!

The man successfully punched Lin Ping in the face and exclaimed ecstatically, "Take this punch! You'll be crippled if you don't die!"

This was a strategically significant punch, enough for this person to claim credit for it.

Especially after the other three were defeated by Lin Ping, he became the head of the Tao family's servants from then on.

Before the words were even finished, the man's face began to contort, and excruciating pain shot through his fist.

If the first person's fist hit the surface of the sea, then this punch hit a steel plate.

He was certain his bones were shattered, into powder.

Now look at Lin Ping; there isn't a single mark left on his handsome face.

"Is that human being?"

Boss Qin and Tao Guang couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Jiang Yunying smiled faintly and said, "This husband of mine is really playful."

Even though Lin Ping is a top expert, this punch can't really do anything to him, but it still poses a considerable danger. What if he gets disfigured?

Lin Ping cherished his face dearly; how could he allow such a savage, strong man to touch his handsome cheek?

What blocked the burly man's fist was not Lin Ping's face, but Lin Ping's fist; it was just that the movement was too fast for them to see clearly.

After shattering the opponent's fist, Lin Ping returned to the starting point, creating the illusion that he had been punched in the face.

"Shall we continue?" Lin Ping asked casually.

The four of them were so frightened they wet themselves; they had never seen a master like Lin Ping before.

"No, no, no, we won't fight anymore." Lin Ping obediently made way for Tao Guang.

"A bunch of useless trash, stop him right now!"

Tao Guang was also a little flustered. His health was precious, and he didn't want to lose an arm or a leg.

These four men were merely servants of Tao Guang, not his slaves. They would rather give up their jobs than lose their lives in vain.

"Bye-bye!" The four of them ran away in a flash, leaving Tao Guang, who was covered in sweat, behind.

"Hand over the antidote, and I'll spare your life!" Lin Ping said condescendingly.

Faced with absolute power, he already held the power of life and death.

"What antidote? I don't know what you're talking about!" Tao Guang feigned ignorance, but didn't forget to shout loudly, "Murder! Murder inside!"

"Want to fight me, kid? You're still too green. Don't think you can act recklessly just because you have brute strength. I can kill you in a minute!" Tao Guang said with a sinister smile.

First, he completely denied any involvement in poisoning Qin Bao'er, then pretended to be a victim. If Lin Ping dared to make a move, he would definitely be wanted by the government.

"You're asking for death!" Lin Ping's lips trembled with anger, his murderous intent already stirring.

"Young hero, you mustn't! Killing him will make you a wanted man by the authorities!" Boss Qin saw through Lin Ping's murderous intent and immediately grabbed his leg, saying.

Nowadays, with the restaurant doors wide open and countless eyes watching, it can't operate in complete silence.

"Hand over the antidote right now!" Lin Ping said, grabbing Tao Guang by the neck. He was running out of patience.

"Hahaha, if you've got the guts, kill me! I guarantee you and Qin Bao'er won't survive tonight." Tao Guang laughed confidently, certain that Lin Ping wouldn't dare to kill anyone.

Suddenly, Lin Ping smiled and took out a few bright red pills, forcibly stuffing them into Tao Guang's throat.

"What...what did you give me?" Tao Guang looked at Lin Ping in horror, repeatedly trying to vomit the pills, but ultimately failed.

"It's nothing, just a few candies. You should be able to survive tonight," Lin Ping said with a faint smile.

This is poison given to new disciples by the Lotus Palace, in order to control them.

These five pills are the most potent of all, but they can counteract each other. Even so, every month one of the pills will become stronger, thus disrupting the balance, requiring an antidote to maintain it.

"Oh no, the last pill is lost. He only took four," Lin Ping said, feigning panic.

Jiang Yunying felt ashamed; he was certain that Lin Ping had done it on purpose.

Without the last pill, a balance cannot be achieved, and Tao Guang's body will react in a few hours, giving him at most three more days to live.

"Poison! You actually gave me poison!" Tao Guang stared at Lin Ping with eyes wide with rage.

"An eye for an eye." Lin Ping forcefully pushed Tao Guang away and said earnestly, "You have at most three days to live."

Tao Guang did not offer the antidote in exchange, nor did he kneel and beg for mercy. Instead, he thought to himself, "Trying to poison me? How naive."

"Old Qin, your daughter will die from the poison in three days. It will be too late to exchange the land deed for the antidote then." After leaving these harsh words, Tao Guang slunk away.

Although he was not afraid of Lin Ping's poison, he was afraid of Lin Ping's martial arts skills.

He could clearly sense a dangerous aura emanating from Lin Ping.

"Young hero, you'd better leave quickly. You can't afford to offend Tao Guang's powerful backer," Boss Qin sighed again.

"I'm afraid we can't leave now," Lin Ping said awkwardly. "It's already dark, and my wife and I have nowhere to stay."

Lin Ping and Jiang Yunying had indeed not stayed at an inn for a long time, not only because they were cultivating in the wild, but also because they were short of money, having spent nearly half of the one hundred taels of silver.

Who knows how much longer I'll have to train here, or whether the remaining fifty taels of silver will be enough to last me?

Boss Qin glanced at the dark night, then at Lin Ping's sincere gaze, and said in a low voice, "If you don't mind, young hero, please stay at my humble abode for the night and leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning."

"Not at all, not at all." Lin Ping chuckled, looking quite pleased with himself.

"Husband, are you really confident you can help Qin Bao'er detoxify?" Jiang Yunying asked doubtfully on the way.

She had no doubt about Lin Ping's medical skills. He could cure such a bizarre poison from the Lotus Palace, let alone the poison given by Tao Guang.

"I'm not a god, and I'm not entirely confident," Lin Ping said truthfully, spreading his hands.

Even with 90% confidence, Lin Ping wouldn't dare to make a guarantee.

After all, Boss Qin had already consulted many famous doctors, so Qin Bao'er must have been poisoned with something other than ordinary poison.

Especially when he thought of Tao Guang's smug smile as he left, which clearly showed his confidence, Lin Ping felt a little uneasy.

"Then why did you let him go?" Jiang Yunying continued to ask.

"Having taken the poison from Lotus Palace, do you think he can leave? Within three days, he'll definitely be begging for the antidote," Lin Ping said with a sly smile.

"My husband is still the most cunning!" Jiang Yunying gave a thumbs-up in admiration.
