Supreme Demon God

Chapter 22: Peerless Autumn Dew

"Today's food is not bad."

Mo Ruyi complimented and suddenly remembered something, so she said to Ru Hua, "Sit down and eat. There are only three of us in this courtyard anyway. No one sees it, and no one chews their tongues."

After that, she looked at Mo Xiu and asked, "Mo Xiu, I can let Ru Hua sit down and eat together, right?"

"It's fine." Mo Xiu nodded in agreement.

Ru Hua's heart raised, and quickly said, "Miss, no, I will wait for you to finish eating."

"When we finish eating, the dishes will be cold." Mo Ruyi persuaded.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just warm up the food when it's cold. This servant is used to eating leftovers. If Miss lets me sit down and eat at the same table with you, I'll feel uncomfortable." Ru Hua shook her head slightly.

"Hmm, you'll only feel uncomfortable a few times. When you get used to it, you won't feel uncomfortable anymore." Mo Ruyi got up and forced Ru Hua to sit down, and then she personally found a pair of bowls and chopsticks and stuffed it hard into her hands.

Holding the tableware and looking at the dishes on the table, tears burst into her eyes suddenly.

"Why are you crying?" Mo Ruyi was dumbfounded and at a loss for a while.

"Miss, you are so kind to this servant." Said Ru Hua who was in tears.

"It's okay, don't cry. When you cry, it won't taste good when you eat the food." Mo Ruyi touched Ru Hua's head and said comfortingly.

But this only made Ru Hua cry louder, and without warning, she stood up, "Young Master, Young Miss, you can eat first, I will come back later." After that, she turned around and rushed out.

However, at this moment, Mo Xiu, who had been eating food in silence almost the whole time, swiftly said sharply, "Stop!"

Since Mo Xiu spoke, Ru Hua naturally didn't dare not listen.

Her figure paused but did not look back, she just kept wiping tears.

Mo Xiu glanced at Ru Hua, and said leisurely, "Does Peerless Autumn Dew make you so scared?"

"Uh"

Ru Hua was slightly surprised, with her back to Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi, a trace of panic flashed past her faces.

"Peerless Autumn Dew? What Peerless Autumn Dew?" Mo Ruyi also felt a little astonished, but she belonged to the person who knew nothing, and couldn't react for a while.

There was a silence for a while before Ru Hua said, "Young Master, what are you talking about? Why doesn't this servant understand?"

"You dare not eat it, not because you care about our identity, but because you poisoned the dish, a deadly poison called Peerless Autumn Dew." Mo Xiu unceremoniously exposed it.

"This dish is poisonous?" Mo Ruyi was startled, and quickly dropped her chopsticks and raised her hand, and put it into her mouth, trying to pick out what she had just eaten. Her action looked quite funny.

However, she soon realized that it was wrong, and hurriedly retracted her hand again, and glanced at Mo Xiu secretly, with a little uneasiness between her eyebrow, as if she was worried that the indecent scene just now would be seen by Mo Xiu.

Seeing Mo Xiu's expression as usual and without raising her eyes, she asked, "Peerless Autumn Dew? Is it the 'colorless and tasteless, without antidote, and cannot be forced out with the True Essence Power, and just one drop can cause the powerful warriors to their weakest states' poison?"

"Yes." Mo Xiu nodded lightly.

Ru Hua still turned her back to the two of them, but at this time her heart was already full of waves.

She did poison the vegetables, even though she didn't know what the poison was, she knew that the poison was indeed colorless and odorless.

When Mo Miao gave her Peerless Autumn Dew, he told her that this kind of poison could not be tasted with the mouth, nor could it be detected with a silver needle, let alone other methods.

In other words, as long as she was not discovered when she put poison in, no one would know that she poisoned the food.

Before she went to prepare food, Mo Xiu should've stayed in the yard all the time, and the process of poisoning could not be seen by Mo Xiu, so how did Mo Xiu know that she poisoned the food?

Not only did he know that she had poisoned the dish, but he also knew that the poison was Peerless Autumn Dew, which was too earth-shattering, right?

'How did you discover it? How can you know it so clearly?'

"What? You don't dare to admit it?" Mo Xiu said again looking at Ru Hua's figure from behind.

Ru Hua stopped crying, then she took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears.

After a while, she put away the handkerchief, turned around, looked at Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi, and nodded and admitted, "So what? You said just now that Peerless Autumn Dew has no cure, but you have taken it, if so, do you think I need to be afraid of you?"

Seeing Ru Hua admitted it, Mo Ruyi couldn't believe it. She was a little sad, and couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to do this? Where did Mo Xiu and I wrong you? I was suspicious of you before, but I saw you that you did care of us with all your heart and soul, and I began to treat you as my own sister. Why do you still do such a thing that wrongs me and Mo Xiu?"

"Young Miss, you are still too naive." Ru Hua shook her head slightly, "I am the Third Master's person, not yours. I will do whatever the Third Master asks me to do. I was pretentious with you before. It was also the order of the Third Master, hoping to unearth the secrets of the Young Master, hoping to get that powerful palm technique from you, but it is no longer needed."

"So you poisoned us?" Mo Ruyi asked again.

"Yes, the Third Master has already promised me. As long as things go well this time, he will accept me as a concubine, so that I can also become the master of the Mo Family. With such benefits, why should I continue to serve you?" Ru Hua said with a sneer.

"..."

Mo Ruyi stopped talking, but her face was full of disappointment.

Mo Xiu took the chopsticks, picked up the dishes on the table, and continued to eat, "I thought it was something more beautiful than that, but it's a pity that you will never be the master of this place in your entire life."

"You... you still dare to continue to eat when you knew it is poisonous?" After Ru Hua saw this, she soon realized something was wrong.

"Do you think that my appearance right is like a person who got poisoned?" Mo Xiu asked back.

"Do you have an antidote?"

A trace of doubt appeared in Ru Hua's heart, and she quickly shook her head, "No, you just said that Peerless Autumn Dew has no cure at all!"

After speaking, she guessed, "The Peerless Autumn Dew on me was stolen by you? When did it happen?"

Mo Xiu didn't answer but raised his palm to face Ru Hua, "Go back and tell Mo Miao, I can give him a chance to survive, or else, I'll personally take care of him."

After finishing speaking, an invisible force radiated out rapidly as it directly blasted Ru Hua out.

In a blink of an eye, only Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi were left in the courtyard.

Mo Xiu continued to eat food as if nothing had happened.

Mo Ruyi was in grief and indignation. But soon, she gradually calmed down, and immediately looked at Mo Xiu, and said, "Mo Xiu, was Peerless Autumn Dew really stolen by you?"

"No." Mo Xiu shook his head slightly.

"Then you still dare to eat?" Mo Ruyi was very puzzled.

"Peerless Autumn Dew is actually not a poison, but a great tonic. However, most people can't refine it, so that the great tonic becomes a poison." Mo Xiu explained, "When you were eating just now, did the Great Vast Lunar Formula work by itself? If so, it means that it was refining Peerless Autumn Dew."

"Ugh" Mo Ruyi was slightly surprised. It was indeed as what Mo Xiu said.

She didn't think much before, but now she knew that it turned out to be refining Peerless Autumn Dew.

Obviously, it was a great tonic, but it was used as a poison. Forget it if they were not poisoned, but now, it seemed that it was cheaper for them.

Since there was no need to worry about the poison and death, Mo Ruyi continued to eat. While eating, she did not forget to ask, "When did you find that the foods were poisoned?"

"Seven days ago." Mo Xiu replied.

"Huh?" Mo Ruyi was dumbfounded.

He found it out seven days ago? What did he mean? Could it be that the dishes they ate were actually prepared seven days ago?

Mo Xiu knew that Mo Ruyi had misunderstood his meaning, so he explained, "Seven days ago, Mo Hong and Mo Miao conspired in a secret room. After the two negotiated, they reached an intent to cooperate and use Peerless Autumn Dew to poison us. I knew it at that time. Ru Hua poisoned just now, thinking that it was done secretly, but I also knew it clearly."

Mo Ruyi swallowed and said in disbelief, "Don't tell me our Mo Family's every move is under your control"

"It's not Mo Family." Mo Xiu shook his head slightly, "It's the entire Sun Martial City."

...

Ru Hua went to Mo Miao immediately, and told Mo Miao about the failure of poisoning and being driven out by Mo Xiu.

"Failed?" Mo Miao frowned.

"Third Master, is that Peerless Autumn Dew fake?" Ru Hua could not help but guess.

"Not that, at least the Peerless Autumn Dew that Mo Hong gave me is real, and he can't make a joke about this kind of thing." Mo Miao shook his head slightly, and looked at the Ru Hua, "Are you sure Peerless Autumn Dew has always been on you?"

"This servant also doubted whether the Peerless Autumn Dew on my body had been taken off the bag at first, but since this servant got Peerless Autumn Dew, she has never contacted anyone again, so the possibility of being stolen should be unlikely." Ru Hua answered.

"This is strange, is it possible that he is really not afraid of Peerless Autumn Dew?" Mo Miao frowned, very puzzled.

"Third Master, is there really no cure for Peerless Autumn Dew?" Ru Hua expressed her doubts.

"No. If there is be an antidote, this thing is not so frightening..."

As Mo Miao said, his eyes flickered, "But it's not easy to say, no alchemist in the world can refine a furnace of twelve pills, but that kid Mo Xiu was not in the ordinary group. Common sense doesn't apply to him at all, maybe he really has an antidote for Peerless Autumn Dew."

Before the five great families joined forces to put pressure on the Mo Family, he still didn't know what was the reason, or why Mo Xiu was suddenly targeted by the five great families.

Now that seven days had passed, the news had spread, and Mo Miao would naturally not remain in a state of ignorance.

Knowing that Mo Xiu also had such high attainments in alchemy, he felt even more that the plan to temporarily join forces with Mo Hong to deal with Mo Xiu was correct.

Being around the super-strong man would be very disturbed, and always worry about whether that super-strong man would kill him. In contrast, the fight for the position of Patriarch was not a big deal.

To get rid of this anxiety, he had to either leave Mo's house or get rid of Mo Xiu.

Mo Miao chose the latter, but now it seemed that the plan has failed.

After this incident, even if he wanted to get rid of Mo Xiu again, he feared that it would not be so easy.

After thinking about it, he waved his hand, "Let's not mention this for the time being. Besides blasting you out, did he say anything to you?"

Only then did Ru Hua remember what Mo Xiu had confessed, so she replied, "He said that he could give Third Master a chance to survive, or else, he'll personally take care of Third Master."

"Huh?" Mo Miao suddenly felt a little puzzled, not understanding what Mo Xiu meant.

The next moment, he saw Ru Hua's face changed, and she wailed in pain while clutching her chest.

"Third... Third Master, help..." Ru Hua's feeble voice was sent out to Mo Miao for help as one hand still stretched out to Mo Miao.

Mo Miao was taken aback and quickly took two or three steps back.

Soon after hearing a "puff", Ru Hua fell to the ground, the painful and wailing voice gradually conceded, her body twitched slightly, her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth were bleeding.

"Hiss" Mo Miao took a breath, looked at Ru Hua's death as a cold sweat broke out on his back.
