"We were just discussing what?"
As Lou Ji had spoken moments ago, the malicious beauty's poisoning abilities originated from her. Within a few breaths after Xu Yuan realized he had been poisoned, he regained control of his body.
Straightening his posture, he casually helped his elder sister brush off the snow on her shoulder, murmuring to himself,
"Oh right, we were talking about how you planned to target my father after arriving in the capital. What happened then?"
"What else could happen? It failed."
Lou Ji brushed away Xu Yuan's pretended movements and gently sprinkled some invisible powder over the body of the malicious beauty lying on the ground.
Upon contact with the body, after a brief silence, the beauty's corpse quickly withered amidst the falling snow.
Xu Yuan watched silently but soon showed a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
