章 952: Her Agony

Watching the Essence Cultivating Pill in Ye Leng'an's hand, Zhongyu Lingshan's eyes betrayed her inner struggle. Eventually, she reached out and accepted the pill from Ye Leng'an. With determination, she gritted her teeth and swallowed the pill.

The potent fragrance filled her mouth, confirming that it was indeed a high-quality pill. Normally, she would appreciate such a find, but now, she felt nothing of the sort. She was gambling with her life, betting that Ye Leng'an's words were mere deception.

In truth, she had poisoned the wine, just as Ye Leng'an had said, with the deadly Five Days of Slumber. Yet, she never expected Ye Leng'an to discern her actions.

Initially, she had no intention of harming Ye Leng'an today. However, Ye Leng'an's repeated disrespect disregarded her status. Moreover, Ye Leng'an's death would only benefit her further, leading to her sudden decision to poison her.
