I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

Chapter 326: Chapter 221: You Call This a Reward?

THUD!

A dull thud pulled everyone’s attention back to the scene.

Zou Feng, who had been struggling to expel the poison from Bai Chen, seemed to have finally collapsed, falling heavily to the ground.

”Feng... Elder Zou!”

Teng County was the first to rush forward and check on Zou Feng’s condition.

In front of all their fellow sect members, she couldn’t bring herself to call him Brother Feng.

”Pill... Elixir...” Zou Feng stammered.

Teng County quickly took out an antidote elixir she carried with her and was about to feed it to Zou Feng.

But Zou Feng waved her off and pointed to his own pocket. ”Nine Yang... Primordial Energy Pill...”

Teng County understood and quickly fished out two Nine Yang Primordial Energy Pills from his pocket.

Everyone present knew that Zou Feng had finished off He Yuan of the Flying Snow Sword, so it was perfectly normal for him to have Nine Yang Primordial Energy Pills on him.

After taking the two Nine Yang Primordial Energy Pills, some color finally returned to Zou Feng’s face.

Of course, while the Refinement process had indeed been draining, his current state was mostly an act.

After all, even if he had only expelled a small portion of the Mixed Poison from Bai Chen’s body, he had to make it look like he’d risked his very life.

Only then could he reduce any unnecessary suspicion.

Fortunately, Yin Suhong’s brilliant performance just now had successfully diverted the attention of the many True Qi Realm masters present, including Su Qingyu.

This had concealed the fact that Zou Feng’s Refinement of the poison had only been taxing, not torturous.

Meanwhile, the color in Bai Chen’s face had also improved.

He was no longer on the verge of fainting at any moment like he had been before.

”How are you feeling? Are you any better?”

Su Qingyu keenly noticed Bai Chen’s improvement and immediately called out to him from a distance.

From her tone, one could tell that Su Qingyu was genuinely concerned about Bai Chen’s safety.

This made Zou Feng wonder about the relationship between the two.

However, since joining Biyou Palace, he hadn’t heard any rumors about the Palace Master and Vice Palace Master having an affair.

But Zou Feng had a nagging feeling that Bai Chen’s usual sickly state had something to do with Su Qingyu...

In response to Su Qingyu’s question, Bai Chen nodded slightly. ”Much better... As long as I remain conscious, I can suppress the rest of the poison sooner or later!”

With that, Bai Chen looked at Zou Feng and said gratefully, ”Elder Zou, your technique is divine!”

He wasn’t exaggerating. For a Fourth Grade to help a First Grade expel poison, even if it was just a small portion, was indeed worthy of those four words.

Zou Feng repeatedly said he was unworthy of such praise.

At the same time, he was already wondering what kind of generous reward Su Qingyu had promised him earlier.

A reward from a top-tier First Grade expert was definitely something to look forward to.

But he certainly wouldn’t ask about it directly. Instead, he first stood up with Teng County’s help.

Then, he cupped his fists toward Su Qingyu and said, ”Palace Master, I have successfully carried out my orders!”

Su Qingyu didn’t respond immediately, seeming to study him carefully once more from behind her veil of poison mist.

”Very good. A real talent, indeed!”

”Come here...”

’Huh?’

’You’re covered in a poison mist that even I can’t comprehend, and you’re telling me to come over?’

Although he was complaining internally, Su Qingyu hadn’t shown any of her rumored madness so far. ’She must have taken her medicine properly today.’

’So there shouldn’t be any danger if I get closer.’

Teng County whispered from the side, ”Go on, the Palace Master is going to give you your reward!”

Zou Feng put on a timely expression of apprehension and slowly walked toward Su Qingyu.

Of course, because of the poison mist, Zou Feng stopped five paces away.

He had already seen how potent the mist was, and now that he was closer, he felt it was even more unfathomable.

He even felt an uncontrollable urge to take a few whiffs of the poison mist.

The most sophisticated poisons were usually filled with an irresistible temptation.

Instead of inspiring fear or disgust at first sight, they would involuntarily draw you in, as if you had discovered a rare delicacy.

The poison mist currently enveloping Su Qingyu was a classic example of this type of toxin.

And yet Su Qingyu was constantly bathed in this poison mist...

All one could say was that she truly was the remarkable woman who had fought the Sword Saint head-on and dared to challenge the Emperor of Great Yan to a duel atop the Forbidden City Peak.

”You did well. This Palace Master will reward you handsomely!”

Zou Feng replied politely, ”Ever since I came to Biyou Palace, Vice Palace Master Bai has treated me well. This is merely what I should do as his subordinate...”

”Enough nonsense. When this Palace Master says she’ll reward you, do you think I’m joking?”

As she spoke, a shapely, long leg extended from within the poison mist.

It was in no way inferior in quality to Teng County’s.

But Zou Feng couldn’t process it for a moment, asking hesitantly, ”Palace Master, this is...”

”Your reward!”

Zou Feng was stunned. Although he had a vague idea of what the reward was, he still couldn’t quite believe it.

’Don’t tell me she really considers *this* a grand reward!?’

Behind him, Mountain Lord Zhong Zhe, who was on good terms with Zou Feng because of the Hundred-legged Ancestor, laughed and said, ”Elder Zou, what are you waiting for? Go on and lick it!”

”The Exotic Poison on the Palace Master’s body is a supreme tonic for us Poison Cultivators!”

Zou Feng glanced back and could tell that Zhong Zhe wasn’t teasing or joking with him.

At that moment, everyone, including Teng County, was looking at him with envy.

Apparently, for Poison Cultivators like them, obtaining the Exotic Poison from the Palace Master’s body was indeed a huge benefit.

Now, Zou Feng’s expression truly turned sour.

To be frank, if she wanted to reward him with her Exotic Poison, she could have simply held out her hand or used another body part. But to just stick her foot out so bluntly and expect him to... Of course Zou Feng found it hard to accept.

And to think he’d just been thinking that the Biyou Palace Master wasn’t as crazy as the rumors claimed. She had immediately hit him with a sucker punch.

There was nothing to be done. Su Qingyu was a bona fide Old Witch. Even if she was skilled at preserving her youthful appearance, who knew how debauched her private life was.

In the past, whenever Zou Feng visited a brothel, he only ever put on a show and never did the real thing. This was enough to show that he was something of a germaphobe in this regard.

”You... are you dissatisfied with this reward?”

Seeing Zou Feng’s hesitation, it was Su Qingyu’s turn to be puzzled.

Because under normal circumstances, a Poison Cultivator would be completely unable to refuse such a reward from her.

Rejecting her outright would be a bad idea. Thinking fast, Zou Feng simply swiped a finger across her foot. This also coated it with the Exotic Poison, which he could then use for Refinement.

”Thank you for your reward, Palace Master!” After thanking her, Zou Feng immediately began the Refinement of the poison in his palm.

He put on a timely look of ecstasy.

This wasn’t entirely an act. After all, the Exotic Poison from Su Qingyu’s body truly did bring immediate and immense benefits.

Moreover, to be used as a reward, Su Qingyu had even reduced the poison’s virulence beforehand to make it easier for Zou Feng to refine.

”Great Universal Hand (Peak of Perfection), Progress: 45%”

What surprised Zou Feng was that he had originally thought refining this poison would cause a huge jump in his Five Poison Fire Lotus Palm’s progress.

Instead, it was the progress of his Great Universal Hand that had skyrocketed by more than twenty points.

But it didn’t matter. His Five Poison Fire Lotus Skill was about to advance from Extraordinary to Saint anyway.

And after that, the next Cultivation Skill that needed to reach the Extraordinary to Saint level would naturally be the Great Universal Hand.

”Absorbing it through direct ingestion and Refinement would be more effective!”

Su Qingyu was a bit perplexed to see Zou Feng receive the reward with only his hand.

She never once doubted her own charm. After all, it was enhanced by an extremely potent poison; no Fourth Grade Martial Artist should have been able to resist.

Hearing this, Zou Feng said with feigned terror, ”How could this subordinate dare to offend the Palace Master...”

Su Qingyu chuckled. ”It’s a reward, as I said. How could it be an offense? Forget it. It’s too late for regrets now anyway!”

’Regret my ass,’ Zou Feng thought. ’This woman thinks way too highly of herself.’

Meanwhile, the True Qi Realm masters behind him were all lamenting what an outrageous waste Zou Feng was committing.

Licking the poison directly into one’s mouth was clearly the best method for Refinement. Not only that, but it also allowed one to get closer to the Palace Master and more directly experience her ”Hundred Poison Sacred Body”...

In doing so, one would not only find pleasure and refine the poison, but it would also be of immense benefit to their future cultivation on the Poison Dao and in comprehending a superior ”Poison Dao”.

What bliss!

Zou Feng stared speechlessly at these Poison Cultivators, with only one thought in his mind: ’I often feel out of place here because I’m not perverted enough.’
