Chapter 55 - It Was Supposed to Be…
The look in Jun Linyuan’s eyes was so gloomy and penetrating that everyone shuddered.
Yu Mingye was still guffawing. “How about that? I’m telling the truth, aren’t I? Something happened to that Immortal Spiritual Fruit, right? Hahaha —”
Feng Xun was going to argue with Yu Mingye when Jun Linyuan regained his poise. Staring at the fruit, which resembled white jade, in his hand, he frowned a little and said, “This Immortal Spiritual Fruit isn’t what it should be.”
“What?” Feng Xun was so shocked that he nearly jumped up. “How can that be? The fruit… Did we get a fake one when we picked it up on the cliff?”
Everyone turned their gazes to Jun Linyuan.
However, Jun Linyuan shook his head, the look in his eyes cold. “No.”
Feng Xun said anxiously, “But the fruit has been with you ever since we picked it up from the top of the cliff! Could someone have switched it out on your watch? That’s impossible.”
The look in Jun Linyuan’s eyes reminded one of a cold sharp blade sliding out of its sheath. He said calmly, “It wasn’t switched.”
“It wasn’t? What happened, then?” Feng Xun was confused.
Jun Linyuan gave Feng Xun a mysterious smile, then tossed the fruit at the latter.
Feng Xun caught it with both hands. After examining it closely, he couldn’t find anything out of place. This was indeed the fruit they had obtained from the top of that cliff, wasn’t it?
Feng Xun then squeezed the fruit and whoosh —
Water spritzed out of that fruit!
Caught off guard, Feng Xun had water all over his face.
“Hahaha —” Seeing what happened to Feng Xun, Yu Mingye guffawed with his hands on his waist. He then pointed at Feng Xun, laughing so hard that he almost ran out of breath. “Hahaha, you’re dead… there’s no hope for you… you’ve been poisoned… hahaha —”
Poisoned?! Feng Xun tossed the fruit on the ground and jumped away immediately!
But after feeling around his face, he found nothing out of the ordinary…
He frowned at the water on his palms. “That’s just water, not poison. Yu Mingye, you liar!”
After that, Feng Xun tried to start a fight with Yu Mingye again!
Yu Mingye broke into wild laughter. “Water? Hahaha — Feng Xun, you idiot! What? Hahaha! That’s Wailing and Screaming Hypertoxic Cadaver Poison! Your skin will be eaten away and you’ll die a miserable death, hahaha —”
However, he was the only one making any sound. Everyone else kept their silence as they gave Yu Mingye strange looks.
Yu Mingye’s laughter sounded all the more embarrassing in the silence.
He stopped short when he saw Feng Xun’s clear, smooth skin.
That wasn’t right!
“Shouldn’t the fruit be filled with Wailing and Screaming Hypertoxic Cadaver Poison? Wh- why aren’t you dead?!” Yu Mingye’s face turned livid as he stared at Feng Xun in disbelief.
Feng Xun rolled his eyes. “Wailing and Screaming Hypertoxic Cadaver Poison? Are you nuts?”
“No, it was supposed to be…” Yu Mingye tried to explain himself, but —
Jun Linyuan narrowed his eyes and his eagle-like sharp gaze was now on Yu Mingye.
Something clicked in Yu Mingye’s head —
He suddenly realized that he had revealed something he shouldn’t have. Covering his mouth involuntarily, his eyes opened wide!
