The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

The venomous snake, having been captured and thrown from a great height, was extremely agitated. Upon entering the container, it instinctively sensed the presence of another creature inside and naturally intended to attack. However, before it could even prepare its venom, it suddenly heard the other creature emanating its own kind.

The venomous snakes were bewildered and immediately stopped three inches away from Hua Xiangrong. Taking advantage of this moment, Hua Xiangrong grabbed the nearest snake, roughly tore off its head, and stuffed it into her mouth from the neck, and began to chew it.

Instantly, blood streamed down her chin. She smiled at the man at the mouth of the container, pointed to the snake she hadn't chewed yet, and clasped her hands in a fist salute.

This situation was completely unexpected for the man. He stared at Hua Xiangrong in astonishment for a long time, a fanatical glint in his eyes. Suddenly, he waved his hand again, and countless poisonous scorpions rained down. Hua Xiangrong stepped back and sneered, "I thought I was already fed, but I didn't expect there to be an extra meal. Thank you."

Blowing a kiss to the person above, Hua Xiangrong ignored them and continued eating the snake. She could also eat the scorpion's flesh, but since she didn't have any tools, she temporarily gave up. Meanwhile, the scorpion, after landing, became entangled with the snake.

The person above seemed very interested in Hua Xiangrong. While watching Hua Xiangrong eat, he said, "The initial process of refining Gu poison is to put the five poisons in the same space and watch them fight. The last one left is the Gu. After the Gu is formed, it is a battle between Gu. In the end, it becomes the Gu King. It seems that I have found a treasure. You are probably not far from becoming the Gu King."

Hua Xiangrong paused, then swallowed the snake tail that she hadn't yet put in her mouth, and said, "You want to refine me into a Gu King? Are you crazy?"

The man shrugged, his face innocent: "Can't I?"

Hua Xiangrong immediately retorted, "Bullshit! Of course not! I'm a human, not one of the Five Poisons. Do you really think you're some kind of god who can even turn a human into a Gu?"

The man suddenly burst into laughter and said, "I am a god! What can possibly stump me? What is the difference between humans and Gu? Humans are merely another noble species built at the top of many other creatures. It's just a pity that they are ultimately mortals and only fit to be my testing tools."

As he spoke, he looked at Hua Xiangrong again, his eyes filled with curiosity as he asked, "Don't you feel any pain? You have several scorpions hanging from your body. Although scorpion venom isn't a rare disease, I absolutely will not go looking for an antidote for you."

Hua Xiangrong was taken aback by what she was told. Looking down, she saw that there were indeed two scorpions hanging on her leg, as well as a venomous snake entangled with the scorpions. At this moment, the snake's fangs were embedded in her calf, but she felt nothing.

Thinking to herself, "Oh no," she calmly squatted down, grabbed the venomous snake and threw it aside. She then grabbed the two scorpions, pulled off their tails, and threw them at the man above.

The scorpion was quite large, but because it was moving from bottom to top, it lost its power. When it reached the man, he simply waved his sleeve, and the scorpion's tail was sent flying to the side. He seemed to be in a good mood and said, "Just like what you're doing now, people can eat anything, whether it's poisonous snakes or ferocious beasts. So, in my eyes, the most poisonous thing in the world is actually a person. Therefore, if you're making Gu poison, human Gu is the most terrifying."

"Haven't you seen those Gu people? Didn't Shangguan Jianyue tell you about the Undying Army? Tsk tsk, it seems you're not important to her. It's really not worth it for you to sacrifice so much for her."

Hua Xiangrong didn't speak, looking down at the scorpion in her hand. She was already feeling dizzy, and her palms were starting to turn black. The snake venom and scorpion venom were intertwined in her body, and her blood was fluctuating between hot and cold, causing her standing body to tremble uncontrollably.

But she was still unwilling to give up. Faced with the man's shouts, she naturally knew who he was. He was the mysterious person who had been planning Shangguan Jianyue's life from the very beginning. This person was not human. He had lived for a very long time, hundreds of years, or even longer.

Is this what immortality is? But what good does it do? To turn oneself into an insect, to live among insects all day, to watch one's loved ones die every day, to live a life of utter isolation? Is such a life truly desirable?

Hua Xiangrong smiled slightly, and Shangguan Hanque's face flashed through her mind.

The man asked curiously, "You're laughing? Why? Shouldn't you be angry right now? Everything you have now is because of Shangguan Jianyue. You should hate her. That way, you can become the most vicious person in the world, and you can leave here to take revenge."

"Revenge? Why would you want revenge?"

Hua Xiangrong tried to move her legs and found that she wasn't so weak. She sat down quietly, placed the dead scorpion in her hand on the ground, and stared blankly at the venomous snakes and scorpions that were still fighting to the death in front of her.

She said, "You are truly pitiful. Have you never received love from anyone, which is why you are so cynical? I say, young master, you look quite respectable, so why are you so pessimistic? It's good to be alive, but if you live too long and become an old hag, what right do you have to be with the person you love?"

The man paused, his gaze shifting slightly, and smiled, "Only by living long can you be with the one you love. If you die young, what is there left to gain?"

"But if the person you love dies and you are still alive, how would you feel? You are immortal, neither born nor dying, you are a monster. Everyone is afraid of you. No one dares to be with you, and no one dares to look at you. How can you talk about being with the person you love?"

You really think that's how you become a god? Wrong. God lives in people's hearts. If a god truly existed on earth, he would be a devil, so what kind of god would he be?

The man didn't speak. Hua Xiangrong grabbed another venomous snake that had accidentally been flung to her side, roughly threw off the head, and ate the rest piece by piece. After eating, she wiped the bloodstains from her mouth and continued, "You must have never liked anyone, and no one has ever liked you, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have such unrealistic thoughts. You think you're immortal, but haven't you ever had any doubts?"

Are you still the same person you used to be? Have those worms inside your body already replaced your thoughts and taken over your soul? You've already achieved immortality; there's no need for you to continue researching so-called immortality.

"But you've captured me to continue your so-called immortality experiments. Doesn't that mean your body is already failing you? Although I've never seen those so-called armored soldiers, I know they live in great suffering. They don't even have a decent appearance like you. What's the point of living such a miserable life?"

The man remained silent for a moment, and just when Hua Xiangrong thought he wouldn't answer, he suddenly spoke.

“You’re right. My divine healer is indeed in trouble, which is why I’m looking for a vessel to continue my research. So, I chose you. Your communication with animals makes me curious about who you really are, but I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find your origins.”

Just like the mysterious container that holds you captive, I felt you would bring me an unexpected result, and indeed you did. The snake venom in your body has slowly dissipated, and the scorpion venom has entered your bloodstream. Yet now, you act as if nothing is wrong, talking to me and eating venomous snakes. Tell me, are you the same as the ordinary mortals here?

Hua Xiangrong smiled and said, "Of course it's different. I am the best among humans."

They even doubted her origins. This person must have gone mad from researching immortality, or they must have actually met time travelers before, but their memories are confused due to their obsessive fanaticism.

As for understanding animal language, sorry, she doesn't understand a single animal language. Perhaps it's just a blessing from God because of her sudden time travel.

The man seemed unmoved. He said, "You are different. I believe a miracle will happen to you. As long as you can get out of here alive, I am confident that I can erase the changes in my body. At that time, I will be truly immortal."

Only with true immortality can I have the chance to be with the one I love most, and only then can I truly enjoy life. So you absolutely must live well, otherwise, if you die, your young General Shangguan Hanque will surely become a Gu person parasitized by Gu worms.

Hua Xiangrong flew into a rage, her eyes flashing with murderous intent: "You're threatening me?"

"Hahaha, yes, it's a threat. Only in this way can you live, right? Now it's time for you to fight against fate. I'm waiting for your triumphant return. Come on, my darling."

As he spoke, his black cloak moved without wind, and a large number of spiders, centipedes, and toads appeared out of nowhere and were all swallowed up into the container. Then, he sealed the exit above and stood outside the container, watching quietly.

Hua Xiangrong was unable to describe her feelings. The sudden addition of so many things to the cramped space made her feel terrible.

The Five Poisons, as the name suggests, are all poisonous. She can eat snakes and scorpions, but aren't spiders and the like a bit too disgusting?

Especially toads, the venom they spray can corrode human skin. If she accidentally gets it on her, wouldn't she be disfigured?

More importantly, the blocked outlet means that all the organisms inside the glass container have a limited supply of air to breathe. Once there is no air left, they will all die.

Although she was not afraid of death, Shangguan Hanque was still in this man's hands, and the fate of Shangguan Jianyue and the other two was unknown. At this moment, she really could not die.

If you don't want to die, the only way is to compete with these low-level poisons for air and space to survive.

Damn it, I really hate being treated like a circus clown on a tour.
