After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Poisoning? Could it be the legendary most potent poison in the world, 'Smiling Half-Step Madness'?"

Upon hearing the word "poisoning," Shen Lu's big eyes lit up instantly.

Since Ye Bai came to the Qin family, this little girl's "martial arts syndrome" has obviously become more severe.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. With a freakish son-in-law like Ye Bai around, it would be strange if Shen Lu were normal.

Even if Ye Bai said he could fly on a sword, the little girl wouldn't doubt it at all, and would still eagerly rush to buy her son-in-law a great sword.

"...You're crazy."

Ye Bai rubbed Shen Lu's head speechlessly, really wanting to figure out what kind of mess it was.

"Come on, follow them first, and I'll explain everything to you slowly."

Ye Bai bought another bag of chestnuts from a nearby stall and followed along slowly while eating them with Shen Lu.

Seeing that the other person was walking too slowly, and Ye Bai and his companion were getting impatient waiting, they simply grilled a few more large skewers of lamb at the barbecue stall next door.

Qin Wanqing never eats this kind of thing, and Shen Lu rarely gets to eat it either.

After all, before Ye Bai came to the Qin family, Shen Lu followed her young mistress around every day.

Even if she saw it and her mouth was watering, she wouldn't dare to eat it unless the young lady nodded in approval.

Now it's much better. My son-in-law isn't picky about food; he just wants it to taste good and doesn't care whether the food from roadside stalls is refined or hygienic.

So hanging out with the son-in-law is the real deal – living the high life and having a wonderful time every day.

So the little girl ate her food with her mouth full of oil, her big eyes forming crescent shapes with happiness, while listening to Ye Bai continue explaining to her why that pretty boy suddenly looked twenty or thirty years older.

"You did get two words right just now. It is indeed a kind of 'rare poison,' but I won't tell you the name. It's a bit inappropriate for children."

Ye Bai held a lamb skewer in his left hand and a roasted sweet potato in his right. Although these were common street snacks, he ate them with great relish.

Not only is the food on this snack street really delicious, but it's probably also related to the candied hawthorn that Shen Lu gave him to eat before.

You know what, that stuff really whets the appetite; he felt hungry immediately after eating it.

He bought a full ten skewers of lamb, and he devoured seven of them himself. Even though Shen Lu ate herself up like a little squirrel, chewing at lightning speed, she still couldn't outeat her son-in-law.

You should know that these are not the small meat skewers, but large meat skewers with a good three ounces of meat on each skewer!

This means that in a short time, Ye Bai and Shen Lu, one big and one small, ate three pounds of meat!

This doesn't even include roasted sweet potatoes, candied chestnuts, and candied hawthorns.

It has to be said that when it comes to foodies, these two are definitely above average.

"Your son-in-law looks down on me! I'm not a child anymore, I know a lot!"

Shen Lu smiled slightly, her face flushed, and she stood there indignant.

Although she hadn't seen those legendary adult films, she had seen plenty of TV series and movies with rather explicit content, including scenes of people hugging, biting, screaming, and panting.

"Hehe, do you know about 'absorbing yang to replenish yin'?"

Ye Bai smiled and said.

He thought about it for a moment and realized that since this little girl had already been poisoned by soap operas, this level of explicitness shouldn't be a big deal.

"Young master, you mean... that pretty boy ran into the legendary 'womanizer'? But isn't he a man? Can a man be 'womanized'?"

Shen Lu covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes wide open, and let out an incredulous gasp.

"Well, your understanding isn't wrong. However, 'flower thief' isn't accurate. The accurate description is that he encountered a 'witch' who knew the art of sexual cultivation!"

Ye Bai nodded and said.

"Wow, there are even enchantresses! I love enchantresses the most! Like 'Li Mochou,' 'Zhao Min,' or 'Ren Yingying'?"

Shen Lu became even more excited. Perhaps influenced by her young mistress, the little girl always felt that "femme fatales" were more exciting.

Women who are weak and constantly whimpering are despicable little bitches.

"Uh, no, those 'femme fatales' you mentioned are different from the ones I'm talking about."

Ye Bai quickly shook his head.

Before Shen Lu could ask again, he continued, "The 'witches' I'm talking about are far more evil than the ones you described. They use rare poisons and forbidden techniques to maintain their youth. The men who have been drained of their vitality will age rapidly in a short time, and may even die!"

"How cruel! But is there really a way to stay young forever?"

Shen Lu blinked her big eyes, becoming even more curious.

At her age, she's still a while away from fully growing up, so naturally she wouldn't have any feelings about "eternal youth," it just sounds like something magical.

"There is no such thing as eternal youth. At most, it can only delay aging, and there are also great side effects."

Ye Bai shook his head.

Although the Xuanmen (mystical sect) has many secret techniques that can be described as miraculous, it is impossible for them to have true immortality.

But extending lifespan is still achievable. Take his unscrupulous master, the Old Celestial Master, for example. Ye Bai estimated that the old man must be over a hundred years old, yet he can still jump around.

Especially when beating him up, they use all sorts of difficult positions, hitting him for half an hour without even breaking a sweat.

He's a complete old pervert!

Not only is his personality abnormal, but his physical strength is even more abnormal.

"Oh, if only it were true, it would keep you young and beautiful forever!"

Shen Lu was somewhat disappointed, but not for herself, but for Qin Wanqing.

From this perspective, the little girl has a good conscience, and it's no wonder Qin Wanqing dotes on her so much.

Ye Bai was also pleased, but he still reminded Shen Lu not to say such things in front of Qin Wanqing in the future.

Because the suspicious and fickle Queen Qin was prone to misinterpreting this as a statement that she was getting old.

For a seasoned, sarcastic person, they will subconsciously overthink whatever others say.

"Young master, young master, since that witch is so wicked, shouldn't we go and capture her and do justice to her?"

After finishing her lamb skewers, Shen Lu bought an ice cream. She licked it with her pink tongue while blinking her big eyes excitedly and asking a question.

Although she admired the femme fatales in martial arts novels, she herself longed to become a female knight-errant.

This was her dream since she was a child; otherwise, a cute little girl like her wouldn't have been able to persist in practicing martial arts for more than ten years.

This kind of perseverance is something many boys lack.

"It might not be that easy to catch them!"

Ye Bai shook his head helplessly.

"Why is she so hard to catch? Is she even more powerful than her son-in-law?"

Shen Lu was puzzled. In her eyes, her son-in-law was the most powerful person in the world, without exception.

"It's not a matter of whether he's powerful or not, the main thing is that this person's identity is very special..."

Ye Bai shook his head again, his expression strange.

"How special? Could it be the Admiral?"

Shen Lu opened her mouth wide and exclaimed in surprise.

"...The Admiral is a man!"

Ye Bai's lips twitched, then he sighed and said, "That vixen is very likely the Second Madam."
