Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 848 – The Savior
A hall for lunches was set up in the property management area. Nearly 100 guests had taken seats when Tang Xiu's group entered. The staff directly brought them to the table at the center where Wang Xuegang had been waiting for a long time. The latter then immediately got up and smilingly said, “Bos Tang, Miss Zhang, please sit down.”
Zhang Xinyue took a seat gracefully, but Tang Xiu did not immediately sit down. He slightly smelled a familiar scent when he had just entered the hall, but he could not remember what it was immediately. He glanced around and found that nearly 100 guests were having fun, yet he could not help but furrow his brows deeply.
He had yet to find the source of the scent, but somehow it made him somewhat wary inside, as if his sixth sense had found something wrong, causing him to sense a threatening danger.
“There's something wrong, Boss Tang?”
With a surprised yet strange expression, Wang Xuegang looked at Tang Xiu with suspicious questions and eyes.
Tang Xiu was silent for a while before he slowly sat down. Then he shook his head and said, “It's nothing; I just smell a familiar scent. ”
Wang Xuegang could not help but laugh and said after sitting down, “Mr. Tang felt a kind of familiar feeling with something here; it meant that you liked my place. If so, I will book some villas in the villa complex of Golden Goblet Emperor Gauze Me. You can choose what you like as a gift for your support to come here. ”
“Don't think about it, but thank you for your goodwill, Mr. Wang.” Tang Xiu shook his head. “If there is, I can only stay in this place for a short time, so I don't have time to occupy it even though I have a villa here.”
Wang Xuegang smiled nodding and no longer continued the topic of conversation.
A while later, Zhang Xinya, who was sitting next to Tang Xiu, was invited onto the temporary stage. He sang three songs to all the guests. Her voice was extremely beautiful, and although her singing technique was slightly different from that of her older sister, Zhang Xinya, no one knew because there were no skilled musicians in the audience.
When the singing session ended, another additional singer came on stage and Zhang Xinyue returned to Tang Xiu's side and sat down again. However, there was something different in the appearance of her eyes, as she whispered when no one noticed them, “What happened, Tang Xiu? I can tell that you were a bit distracted when you came here. ”
“Do you smell a certain scent?” Tang Xiu asked with a frown.
… Scent or aroma?
“You also told Mr. Wang that you smelled a familiar scent some time ago,” Zhang Xinyue said. “But I don't smell anything. If anything, it might be because a cold dish had just been delivered, so you might smell it because your sense of smell is too sharp? ”
“It really isn't.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “There was a scent when we just entered the lunch hall. That scent had the scent of a very powerful medicinal herb, and I could usually tell the herbs used in the medicinal herb soup. I don't know what's going on or why I don't know what a medicinal herb is, it's just that there's a very familiar feeling to the scent. ”
“Why is this so weird?” Zhang Xinyue was shocked.
Tang Xiu was silent for a moment but the vigilance he felt inside grew stronger. After a moment of silence and the exchange of toast from everyone at the table, and just as he was about to find an excuse to wander around, his expression suddenly changed and his eyes immediately turned to the entrance of the hall.
There were over a dozen staff there carrying stews, and the aroma grew stronger as they approached. The scent even drilled into his nostrils without even inhaling it.
“Did you kiss her?” Tang Xiu turned his head to look at Zhang Xinyue and asked in a low voice.
“You what?” Zhang Xinyue asked back as she looked at Tang Xiu with a confused face, “What are you really kissing? Is that the familiar scent you mentioned earlier? No. .. Why don't I smell anything? ”
Tang Xi's expression changed and she suddenly got up. He quickly blocked the path of the staff delivering the dishes, whereas the nearly 100 guests in the hall were shocked and speechless, when he asked, “Can I taste this soup first?”
“Uh, what?” The staff knew Tang Xiu's identity but were puzzled that Tang Xiu's famous divine physician would make such a strange request.
Wang Xuegang had no idea what was happening but he walked over and came to Tang Xiu's side to ask, “What happened, Mr Tang?”
“I have to taste this soup first,” Tang Xiu said.
“Bapak. Tang, even if you're starving, there's no need for you to get excited, right? “Wang Xuegang said with a smile. “I will send more pots for you if you like this stew later.”
Tang Xiu shook his head and opened the casserole lid. His heart trembled as he instantly smelled the scent of some medicinal herbs from the steaming mist of steam.
“Black Zen Seed, Carrion Reed, Scorpion Fruit ..”
Tang Xiu's complexion suddenly changed and he exclaimed, “This dish is poisonous!”
“What?”
Everyone in the entire banquet hall was startled and rose from their seats, while disbelief covered Wang Xuegang's face after hearing Tang Xiu's exclamation, and he spoke hurriedly, “Are you likely to make a mistake, Mr Tang? Why is this dish poisonous? I invited all the chefs today from the county town; there was no way they would poison people! ”
Zhang Xinyue quickly ran to Tang Xiu's side and said, “Don't talk like that, Tang Xiu! Can you really judge that the stew is poisonous? ”
A killing intent shone within Tang Xiu's eyes as he coldly said, “I smelled this familiar scent when I entered this lunch hall. I'm not sure where the scent came from, but I finally managed to figure it out. It was the scent of stew in front of all of you. ”
“Black Zen seeds are highly poisonous plants that grow in the cold Yin soil. Just a grain of this seed provides enough poison to kill a whale. ”
“Carrion Reed is a plant that grows on decaying corpses, especially from the heart. To make this Carrion Reed grow, it needs to be doused with blood every seven days for seven consecutive weeks. ”
“Corpion fruit contains a very strong poison. It is grayish black in color and looks somewhat similar to a scorpion. The fruit grows in a very cold place. ”
As Tang Xiu explained getting there, he clutched his fist and remained silent for more than 10 seconds before continuing, “These three highly toxic substances can be used as ingredients to create enough medicinal poison to kill hundreds of people. But there should be dozens of highly toxic herbs mixed in the decoction as well. However, the most terrifying thing was not this potion, but .. the blood from the water dragon heart. ”
“Isn't that what you said too mysterious, Brother Tang?” Asked Wang Tao doubtfully. “Moreover say that it is a poisonous plant that I have never heard of, but the blood of the water dragon heart alone is impossible! Where can one even find a water dragon in this world? ”
Tang Xiu gave her an apathetic look and said, “The fact that you have never seen or heard of it does not mean that the water dragon does not exist. I've read about this poison in ancient medical records and learned about its name: Drunken Dragon Powder. I can tell you that if a drop of Drunken Dragon Powder was mixed into a bowl of water and poured into dozens of casserole stews, you would be able to poison everyone here right now. ”
Whizz…
The expressions of everyone in the lunch hall suddenly turned very bad and they watched the casserole in the hands of over a dozen staff as if they were looking at a terrifying poisonous snake.
“Go and find the animal, whether it be cat, dog, chicken, duck or sheep,” Tang Xiu's orders with a heavy voice. “FAST!”
“Alright!” A staff hurriedly ran after hearing the order. Without much effort, he brought a chicken and a sheep to life.
“Take a spoonful of soup and put it in their mouth,” Tang Xiu said.
“Good.”
Some staff quickly gathered and poured a spoonful of soup into the mouths of chickens and sheep. Then, they loosened it according to Tang Xiu's orders.
Two minutes later, Wang Tao, who was watching the chickens and sheep asking with a puzzled face, “Are they not okay?”
Wang Xuegang also hurriedly asked, “You just used them to test if this stew is poisonous, right? They're doing fine! ”
Tang Xiu did not speak at all but continued to stare at the chickens and sheep on the ground. Half a minute later, the chicken that was trying to escape suddenly fell to the floor.
“WHAT? Blood was pouring out of his mouth! Also ... Look at his eyes, how can they turn red? “Shouted some people in panic.
Instantly, everyone felt a chill sweep through their entire existence. Fear filled their faces as they watched the convulsing chickens eventually die.
After seeing what happened to the chicken, Tang Xiu focused his eyes on the sheep. After a minute had passed, the animal slowly fell to the floor and died after convulsions.
“A-All ... A-all dead!”
Everyone in the room was struck with fear when the chickens were killed by the poison, but they could not help but shiver and subconsciously wanted to escape after the sheep died.
Wang Xuegang felt his entire body fall into the freezing ice hole as he muttered with a puzzled look, “Who poisoned the soup? Who could be so cruel as to poison everyone here? ”
Tang Xiu furrowed his brows and asked, “Have you offended someone recently, Mr Wang?”
Wang Xuegang opened his mouth but was at a loss how to answer the question. He's got big business. Even if he had not offended anyone recently, he might have offended many people in the past! For those who are in the business world, and especially who make their business turn into a major entity, it is impossible to remain pure and never offend anyone.
Tang Xiu was silent for a moment and then slowly said, “Call the police! This is an overly serious incident. I'm afraid we're too nervous to eat again if we can't find the real cause of this poisoning. ”
A grateful look filled Wang Xuegang's eyes as he looked at Tang Xiu and said, “I'll call the police right now, Mr. Tang. We are very lucky to have you among us today, otherwise we will all ... ”
He did not finish his sentence, yet everyone in the lunchroom could see it very clearly. They would have been poisoned and died if Tang Xiu had not been there today.
He ... he really is everyone's savior!
