Divine War Pill Emperor

”Miss Murong, are you feeling unwell in any way?”

Just as he stood up to leave, Qin Lie suddenly asked.

”No.”

Murong Xiangming replied coldly.

But, the very next moment, she felt her soul give a violent throb.

A fog seemed to envelop her soul.

Immediately, she found that the Qin Lie before her had suddenly become so handsome, so captivating.

Her eyes, without her realizing, took on a glazed, dazed look.

Qin Lie, who had been watching Murong Xiangming’s every change, was ecstatic when he saw this.

But he still couldn’t quite believe it.

He asked tentatively, ”Miss Murong, don’t you find my demeanor very charming?”

In response, Murong Xiangming immediately nodded, a bashful look on her face.

”Qin Lie...”

In her soul, she had originally felt an extreme revulsion toward him.

But now, her affection for him had grown immensely.

It was incredibly strange.

It was completely beyond Murong Xiangming’s control.

Qin Lie was so happy he nearly jumped for joy.

’Success! I’ve succeeded again!’

To make Murong Xiangming fall even deeper.

Qin Lie took out the bottle again and had Murong Xiangming inhale more of it.

That way, the effect would be even better.

Murong Xiangming no longer knew what she was doing, only that the Qin Lie before her was now full of charm.

It made her wish she could marry him on the spot.

She felt she would agree to anything he said.

Qin Lie’s scheme had succeeded, but here in the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, he didn’t dare get too carried away.

He asked, his voice trembling with excitement, ”Murong Xiangming, are you willing to marry me?”

However, as if by a conditioned reflex, Murong Xiangming hesitated for a moment.

But in the end, she agreed without reservation.

”I am. I’m willing to marry Young Master Qin Lie.”

”When will you marry me?”

Murong Xiangming asked with anticipation, having now become the proactive one.

Qin Lie saw how potent the effects of the Heart-Tugging Powder were.

He was incredibly smug.

’Now that Murong Xiangming is taken care of, the next steps will be easy.’

As long as they came to propose marriage again and Murong Xiangming agreed, the matter would be settled.

Qin Lie wished he could marry Murong Xiangming immediately.

”You just wait. I’ll come to propose and marry you.”

Afraid that staying too long would expose his plot, he immediately said to Murong Xiangming, ”I’ll go back first. I’ll come to propose and marry you today.”

”Wait for me.”

”Mhm.”

”I’ll wait for you.”

Murong Xiangming nodded repeatedly in agreement without the slightest hesitation.

”Father, it worked! It worked!”

At the Alchemy Master Guild, Qin Lie grabbed his father, Master Qin, and practically shouted with excitement.

He had succeeded. Everything had gone surprisingly smoothly.

Master Qin was still a little dazed.

”What worked? What’s all the fuss about?”

He looked at his excited son, somewhat puzzled.

Qin Lie said excitedly, ”It’s about Murong Xiangming, of course.”

”Father, I used the Heart-Tugging Powder, and it worked on the first try! Now, let’s go to the Treasure Elephant Pavilion immediately to propose marriage.”

What?

Master Qin was stunned.

His son had actually gone and done it.

But he was still suspicious, afraid his son had gotten something wrong.

”Are you sure Murong Xiangming has been poisoned by the Heart-Tugging Powder?”

”She agreed?”

Qin Lie guaranteed it a hundred times over.

”Father, you can rest assured when I handle things. I wouldn’t dare say this if I hadn’t asked her myself.”

”Let’s strike while the iron is hot and go propose right now.”

”Master Tian Mu isn’t a problem, and now Murong Xiangming isn’t a problem either. She only has eyes for me now. I guarantee it will be an instant success.”

Qin Lie, who had coveted Murong Xiangming for a long time, could no longer wait.

He urged his father on.

Master Qin was a little worried, but since the plan had succeeded, he was unwilling to give up.

’As long as we keep giving Murong Xiangming the poison, the truth won’t be exposed.’

”Alright. We’ll make some preparations and go propose again.”

This was already their second time proposing marriage.

Master Tian Mu received the father and son.

He was clearly taken aback. ’How have this father and son shown up again after just a few days?’

His heart was filled with doubt.

”Chairman Qin, what important matter brings you here this time?”

He was still relatively polite to Master Qin and his son.

He didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.

Master Qin mulled it over for a moment before saying, ”It’s about my son again.”

”We came to propose to Miss Murong last time, and we’ve come for the same reason today.”

What?

Master Tian Mu was shocked.

’They came to propose last time and were rejected. How can they be so shameless as to come again?’

He simply couldn’t wrap his head around it.

He said, bewildered, ”Chairman Qin, have you lost your mind? Last time you proposed, I already told you that I can’t make the decision.”

”Didn’t you ask her to her face and get rejected by the Young Miss?”

”Why are you asking about this again? Have you not given up? Do you want to be shot down again?”

If it were Master Tian Mu, he would never do such a thing.

To be rejected once is one thing, but to be rejected twice... where would one’s dignity be?

But the Qin father and son were truly something else, coming a second time.

It was enough to make one not know whether to laugh or cry.

He knew they would be rejected again, and might even get a harsh scolding from the Young Miss this time.

Master Qin, however, just gave a helpless smile.

”There’s nothing to be done. My son has his heart set on Miss Murong and insisted on trying one more time, do or die.”

”Whether it works or not, I’m willing to throw away my old pride for my son’s sake. We’ll give it a try. If we succeed, great. If not, so be it.”

”So, please, help us ask for Miss Murong again. We’d like to ask her in person.”

”If it doesn’t work out this time, then no matter how thick-skinned I am, I won’t come back again.”

He was a slick old fox and knew just what to say for any occasion.

’In any case, as long as we see Murong Xiangming this time, everything will be fine.’

’Murong Xiangming, poisoned by the Heart-Tugging Powder, now only feels affection for my son, Qin Lie.’

’There’s almost no chance of a problem.’

He was brimming with confidence.

Master Tian Mu was also left speechless. He had no choice but to go find Murong Xiangming again.

”Fine. But this is the last time. If you come a third time, I won’t be so polite. You can try once, you can try twice, but there won’t be a third time.”

With that, he went to find Murong Xiangming.

At this moment, Murong Xiangming seemed to be in a daze, her mind elsewhere.

She just stayed in her room, waiting for something.

When she heard what Master Tian Mu had to say.

Murong Xiangming stood up without hesitation.

She actually said loudly, ”Good! Yes, I’ll go see them.”

She looked very expectant.

A completely different demeanor from last time.

This made Master Tian Mu think he was seeing things.

’That’s not right. Didn’t the Young Miss find the Qin father and son repulsive?’

’Why does she seem so eager?’

Despite his thoughts, he didn’t dare interfere in the Young Miss’s affairs.

The two of them returned to the reception hall.

Master Qin and Qin Lie were both waiting.

”Miss Murong...”

Master Qin’s heart stirred as he greeted her.

Murong Xiangming immediately looked at Qin Lie, as if he possessed some immense charm.

Master Tian Mu, who followed her in, was still filled with suspicion.

Qin Lie was the first to stand up, looking excitedly at Murong Xiangming.

But Master Qin, afraid his son would give the game away, stopped him.

He asked Murong Xiangming, ”Miss Murong, look at our Qin Lie. He’s a fine, handsome man. This time, I have come to your Treasure Elephant Pavilion to propose marriage. Are you willing to marry my son and become my daughter-in-law?”
