Bibi Dong sat on the throne, her slender fingers lightly tapping the armrest, a probing smile curling at the corner of her mouth.
This group master called Emperor Lu had been shrouded in mystery from the moment he appeared.
He had exposed Ma Hongjun, displaying formidable intelligence-gathering abilities.
He had toyed with her while snatching red packets, showing himself to be outrageously bold.
She wanted to see just how many hidden talents this group master truly possessed.
Blue Tyrant Academy, inside the dormitory.
Lu Ming looked at the two messages Bibi Dong had sent and immediately smiled.
Well, well. She was using provocation to test him.
But she had actually guessed right.
After obtaining the Compendium of Medicinal Knowledge, he happened to have the perfect solution for the Beryl Snake Emperor Poison in his mind.
He stopped lurking and leisurely typed out a line.
[Emperor Lu: I do have a way. I can completely resolve your poison.]
A simple sentence, yet it was like a massive boulder thrown into a still lake, stirring up monstrous waves in the group!
[Little Witch: !!! Great Group Master, you're amazing! You really have a way?]
[My Cat is White and Big: Even poison the Pontiff can't solve can be handled by the group master?]
[Fox is Most Pure: That's wonderful! Poison Fairy can be saved!]
Inside the Pontiff's Palace.
When Bibi Dong saw that message, her pupils suddenly constricted.
She abruptly rose from the throne. Beneath her purple papal robe, her astonishingly long legs, wrapped in silk, tensed straight, outlining a breathtaking curve.
"He... really has a way?"
Bibi Dong's chest rose and fell slightly as enormous waves churned in her heart.
This was no longer merely a matter of intelligence-gathering ability. This was a genuine method capable of defying fate and changing one's destiny!
Just who was this Emperor Lu?!
And at that moment, no one was more excited than Dugu Yan herself.
A brilliant light instantly burst forth from her beautiful eyes, which had been dimmed by despair, as though a drowning person had seized their last lifeline.
Using all her strength, she typed on the screen with trembling fingers.
[Poison Fairy: Great Group Master! Please, save me! No matter the price, I'm willing to pay it!]
Lu Ming looked at her reply and continued typing unhurriedly.
[Emperor Lu: I can help you suppress the poison for free, so you won't suffer for the time being.]
[Emperor Lu: As for payment... you only need to send me a photo.]
[Emperor Lu: But if you want to be completely cured and eliminate all future troubles, I have another condition.]
When Dugu Yan saw those messages, she froze completely.
For free?
Simply suppressing the poison would already have been an immense favor, yet the Great Group Master was offering it for free?
All he needed was... a photo?
Countless thoughts flashed through Dugu Yan's mind.
She immediately understood.
How could a reclusive master like the Great Group Master truly care about a mere photo?
He must have been trying to preserve her dignity!
He was afraid she would be unable to offer a treasure of equal value in exchange, afraid she would feel indebted, so he had used this method to make it seem like a fair transaction!
Once she understood this, Dugu Yan's heart filled with endless gratitude.
Not only was the Great Group Master immensely powerful, but he was also so thoughtful and considerate!
He was truly a good person!
The overwhelming surprise and gratitude even made her temporarily forget the pain in her body.
[Poison Fairy: Thank you, Great Group Master! I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!]
After saying that, she endured the sharp pain and turned onto her side.
She selected several of the photos she was most satisfied with and sent them all to Lu Ming in a private message.
There were full-body shots of her looking valiant and heroic.
There were also casual photos of her in cool, light clothes, showing off her graceful figure.
There were even several fanservice photos taken after her training, showing her in the lounge wearing only a form-fitting practice outfit, drenched in fragrant sweat, her curves fully on display.
They were brimming with temptation and full of sincerity.
Meanwhile, in the Blue Tyrant Academy dormitories.
Lu Ming looked at the photos popping up one after another in his Sea of Consciousness and nodded in satisfaction.
He enlarged them with great interest and examined them carefully.
"Mm, not bad. This one's nice, and this one too!"
"Her figure really is incredible..."
After admiring them for quite a while, he finally stroked his chin and revealed a playful smile.
"Still, did Dugu Yan misunderstand something?"
"I really only wanted one photo."
The corners of Lu Ming's lips curled up slightly.
A misunderstanding was a misunderstanding.
A good impression was never a bad thing.
He withdrew his focus and stopped admiring those blood-stirring photos.
Business came first.
His thoughts sank into the vast Compendium of Medicinal Knowledge in his mind. The properties, combinations, and effects of countless herbs were laid out as clearly as stars.
The Beryl Snake Emperor Poison was incomparably tyrannical, seeping deep into the marrow.
Ordinary detoxification methods were merely treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Yet this medicinal tome recorded several utterly incredible prescriptions.
One of them used the most common herbs, relying on an exquisitely precise balance of principal, ministerial, assistant, and envoy ingredients to overcome hardness with softness and neutralize the poison.
This method demanded an extreme level of spiritual power and control from the apothecary. Even the slightest error would result in a bowl of poison that burned through the intestines.
However, for Lu Ming, who cultivated the Great Evolution God Hiding Art, it was no difficult task.
He took out several common herbs Liu Erlong had prepared for him from his Storage Soul Tool. They were ordinary items meant to assist cultivation and regulate the body.
Clear Heart Grass, Dragon Saliva Flower, Three Leaf Root...
These things could be bought from any herbal shop and were not worth more than a few Gold Soul Coins altogether.
Lu Ming's fingers moved lightly, and his Soul Power extended like threads, precisely wrapping around each herb.
He had neither a medicine cauldron nor an open flame.
Soul Power pulsed from his palm, and the herbs were visibly crushed, separated, and refined into their purest juices.
Several differently colored medicinal liquids floated and revolved above his palm, slowly merging along a mysterious trajectory.
A moment later, a bowl of emerald-green medicinal soup, giving off a faint fragrance, had taken shape and rested quietly in an ordinary porcelain bowl.
Lu Ming picked up the porcelain bowl. With a thought, he opened the Chat Group once more.
He edited a message, then made an exclusive red packet and sent it directly.
[Emperor Lu: These are some herbs I mixed up casually. They can suppress your poison.]
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Inside a luxurious girls' dormitory.
Dugu Yan was immersed in the overwhelming joy of being saved when a red packet gleaming with golden light suddenly popped up on the screen in her Sea of Consciousness, marked with the words "Exclusive for Poison Fairy."
Almost instinctively, she extended her thoughts and tapped the word "Claim."
Buzz!
A faint spatial ripple spread out.
The next second, a porcelain bowl filled with emerald-green medicinal soup appeared out of thin air before her bed, hovering steadily in midair.
