A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Chen Yang sat down next to Liu Qingxia, looking completely calm, as if nothing had happened.

Sitting in the main seat, Xiao Fan stared at the five cloaks in front of him, a wild excitement flashing in his eyes... The show is finally about to begin!

The poison in this cloak was obtained by him from a powerful figure in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for his father, Xiao Daoyun's, influence, he wouldn't have been able to buy such a top-tier poison... Violet Enchantress!

Xiao Fan was well aware of Liu Qingxia's strength: at such a young age, she was already at the fourth level of the Blood Exchange Realm. Blood Exchange Realm cultivators have extremely strong resistance to poisons, which is why he deliberately used this domineering poison.

But he was absolutely confident that no matter how talented or strong Liu Qingxia was, she would not be able to withstand the invasion of the Violet Poison!

Xiao Fan suddenly stood up and announced loudly, "This year, the first of the five heroines who won the 'Great Ming Splendor Cloak' is... my sister-in-law, Zhao Manmei!"

"Although Sister-in-law Zhao is a woman, she has made outstanding contributions to the daily business affairs of Qingzhou City and plays a pivotal role in the City Lord's Mansion!"

The crowd below applauded.

Xiao Fan continued, "The second one is Ms. Sun Xiaoyi! Miss Sun is not from one of the three major families, and although her cultivation is only average, she is passionate about medical research and is an expert in this field. She even compiled the 'Complete Book of Herbal Medicine' for Qingzhou City, truly a heroine!"

Another round of enthusiastic applause followed.

Xiao Fan continued to read out the names of the third and fourth winners... Both of these women were also young women with prestige in their respective industries. Apart from Zhao Manmei, the selection of the other three was well-deserved, and no one could find fault with them.

Finally, Xiao Fan's gaze settled on Liu Qingxia, and his voice boomed: "Fifth, Miss Liu Qingxia! Miss Liu, at such a young age, has already shouldered the heavy responsibility of the Liu family's affairs. More importantly, she took over the task of mining the Qing iron ore assigned by the Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace... This Qing iron ore is of vital importance to our Ming Dynasty, and Miss Liu has made invaluable contributions to this mining operation!"

"Now, please invite our five heroines to come to the stage and receive the cloaks bestowed upon us by the Great Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Qingxia frowned slightly, but she couldn't refuse... This cloak was nominally a gift from the imperial palace, and refusing it in public would be disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty.

She stood up and walked towards Xiao Fan with the other four people.

Xiao Fan smiled slightly and handed the five cloaks to Zhao Manmei, Liu Qingxia, and the others, saying, "Please put on the cloaks and take your seats."

The five people opened their cloaks and put them on.

The Ming Dynasty-style cloak is made of excellent material. Although the special blue-red dyeing is not bright, it exudes a noble air and instantly adds to the elegance of the group when they wear it.

Liu Qingxia returned to her seat and found that the cloak not only fit well but was also quite beautiful, so she stopped resisting and lowered her head to pour wine and serve food to Chen Yang, ignoring the stares of those around her.

Xiao Fan sat in the main seat, his gaze fixed on Liu Qingxia, his heart pounding... He knew that the poison would take effect soon!

Ziro syphilis enters the body through respiration, completely controlling a person's thoughts, causing them to lose consciousness and only retain primal instincts.

As soon as Liu Qingxia smelled his scent, she would crawl towards him like a female dog, wagging her tail and begging for his affection, even offering herself up!

The thought of this scene filled Xiao Fan with immense joy... At this moment, Liu Qingxia, wearing a cloak, looked even more stunning than usual!

Liu Qingxia noticed his ill-intentioned gaze, but only frowned slightly and didn't think much of it.

Zhao Manmei sat not far away, a meaningful smile on her lips, also waiting to see a good show.

Suddenly, Zhao Manmei felt dizzy, as if she had drunk too much alcohol.

She was puzzled: she had always been a good drinker, so how could she get drunk after only a few drinks?

The question had barely formed in her mind when, in the next instant, her thoughts went completely black, she felt dizzy, and lost consciousness instantly!

The hall was bustling with noise as people discussed the history of the Ming Dynasty or praised the exquisite cloaks.

Just then, a loud "bang" rang out!

The table in front of Zhao Manmei was overturned by her, and the bowls and plates were broken all over the floor!

Immediately afterwards, like a lovesick girl, she staggered toward Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan frowned and asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong...?"

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Manmei suddenly knelt down with a thud, crawled towards Xiao Fan on all fours, grabbed his thighs with both hands, and then stuck out her tongue and began to lick his legs and feet frantically!

Holy crap!

Xiao Fan was startled and suddenly stood up, trying to break free.

But Zhao Manmei clung to him like an octopus, her eyes brimming with desire, her voice sweet and seductive, as she murmured pleadingly, "Xiao Fan, come quickly... I want you..."

As she spoke, she reached out and tore her clothes open, instantly stripping herself naked!

The hall fell into a deathly silence!

Liu Qingxia was so shocked that her mouth dropped open, her face full of disbelief... She had thought that Xiao Fan was no good, and she also knew that Zhao Manmei was immoral, but she never expected that the two of them would dare to play such a big game at the National Day banquet!

This was a gathering of prominent young men and women in Qingzhou City, yet Zhao Manmei actually stripped naked in public, behaving so despicably!

Many men were stunned... Zhao Manmei was considered a beauty, but they had never seen such a shocking scene before!

Xiao Fan was furious and kicked Zhao Manmei away, shouting, "Zhao Manmei, are you crazy? What nonsense are you spouting!"

But after being kicked away, Zhao Manmei wasn't angry at all. Instead, she knelt down again and crawled quickly toward Xiao Fan, murmuring, "Xiao Fan, don't be so cruel... I miss you so much..."

The hall erupted in chaos!

"Holy crap! That's amazing!"

"Zhao Manmei has such a great figure, no wonder she was able to marry into the City Lord's mansion!"

"I'd heard that people from big families were extravagant, but I never imagined they were this extravagant!"

"Is she crazy or doing this on purpose? She's completely disregarding societal norms and morals!"

The murmurs rose and fell, and Xiao Fan's face turned pale and then red.

He finally realized what was happening, took a few steps back, and shouted, "Zhao Manmei, wake up! Are you poisoned? What happened?!"

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Liu Qingxia... only to see Liu Qingxia staring at the scene with a shocked expression, showing no signs of poisoning!

Xiao Fan was instantly dumbfounded: The poison was clearly put in Liu Qingxia's cloak, so how come Zhao Manmei was the one who was poisoned?

The laughter and chatter in the hall could no longer be suppressed; the City Lord's Mansion had completely lost face!

Just then, an incomparably sharp aura suddenly descended!

Immediately afterwards, a dragon's roar suddenly resounded in the banquet hall, and a sharp energy swept in from the entrance like a giant dragon, finally condensing into a huge palm!

"Snapped!"

With a loud bang, the palm slammed hard onto Zhao Manmei!

"boom!"

Zhao Manmei's skull shattered and her sternum collapsed. She was instantly smashed into a pulp, spitting out a mouthful of blood before dying on the spot!

Chen Yang sat in his seat, his heart pounding and his fists clenched... This was the strength of a Golden Core Realm expert!

That palm strike just now must have been the City Lord Xiao Daoyun's signature move, "Dragon Capturing Palm"!

Thirty meters away, a casual slap can turn a person into a meat patty—it's terrifying!

Xiao Fan's face was ashen... He knew that this matter had completely blown up, and the City Lord's Mansion had lost all face!

He abruptly turned to look at Wu Qiang beside him, shouting sternly, "Wu Qiang! What's going on? There's definitely poison on the cloak! Did you do this?!"

Wu Qiang was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud, his face as white as paper, his whole body trembling like a sieve... He was completely stunned!

That poisoned cloak was clearly prepared for Liu Qingxia, so how did it end up on Zhao Manmei?

He wanted to explain, but when he thought of the terrifying power of the Dragon-Capturing Palm, his heart pounded in his chest, and he couldn't catch his breath. He collapsed to the ground and was scared to death!

Just then, a voice filled with extreme anger rang out: "Uninvited guests have arrived at the City Lord's Mansion! How dare they attack my City Lord's Mansion!"

"The banquet is now adjourned. Please return to your respective quarters!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingxia quickly helped Chen Yang up and hurried out with the crowd.

No one among the surrounding guests dared to say another word... Everyone could tell that Xiao Daoyun was furious beyond measure, and to provoke him at this moment would be tantamount to courting death!

Within minutes, all the guests had left.

Faced with Xiao Daoyun's anger, even the powerful figures from the three major families could only lower their heads and remain silent, not daring to breathe too loudly.

Xiao Daoyun walked slowly into the banquet hall with his hands behind his back, his face ashen and his eyes as cold as ice.

He glanced at Zhao Manmei's corpse on the ground, then looked at Xiao Fan, who was slumped on the ground, and coldly rebuked, "Useless thing!"

Xiao Fan knelt down with a thud, wanting to explain.

Xiao Daoyun didn't bother listening at all, waving his hand and cursing, "Get out of here! You can't even get yourself made a fool of in your own home, what use are you!"
