Calamity Body

Bai Li's heart shook as he replayed everything within his mind.

"When was I poisoned?"

He replayed all the events within his mind rapidly, each time stopping at the moment he feasted with his brothers at the Asteroid Pavillion where they stayed at. The food there was absolutely delicious and he wouldn't know if it could be poisoned, whatever it was, it was a great taste.

He rewinded his minds several time before making his choice.

He stood up and took quick steps to the stream, the lights illuminated the service of the water, allowing him to see a translucent reflection. He materialized the hidden form of his Nightmare's Cowl and formed a small shiv, shaving off his hair with ease, though his skills with his hands weren't that great, getting to his old hairstyle was easy and shaving would be much quicker with a thin razor sharp blade formed by the cowl.

He finished doing so and he looked thirty years younger at that moment, he began his descent down the valley and back to the Buried Sands Region, though he wouldn't kill any creature unless they were in his path. With the usage of his regenerative soul energy, he passed with ease and arrived to the city in just a matter of two days.

The man in the front saw Bai Li and smiled.

"You're late by four months, the price will be 450,000."

"Here."

"Thank you."

The people in line couldn't believe the amount handed to the reception, that amount was insane to normal warriors, 500,000 was a year's earning for one to live modestly for a decade.

He began his trip back to the Pavilion, he had a dark theory in his mind as he did so.

He couldn't believe it was Shi Qigang as she slept with him without causing any troubles. He remembered the scene and blushed behind his bike mask and combat armor, he looked like a general recruit soldier from his scent of sweat that accumulated when one trained for too long, acquiring a stench that would remain with them to the ends of their life, but it was just the scent that Bai Li never tooken a shower.

The Waiter showed a small look of disdain but continued purposely with his customer service.

"A table for..?"

"One."

"Come this way."

He was led quickly to a proper seat in the back of the store.

"What would you like?"

"A Black Boar Sandwich with liangpi noodles please. Ginseng tea as well."

The face mask reinforced a deep voice as the sounds came muffled, the waiter knew the order and quickly wandered off, not wanting to smell anything.

He used this time to activated his Chilled Senses to become more perspective. The cold aura slowly transitioned on and only people who had the eyes of a Surpasser, or actually touching him would feel something was up.

Usually a plaque would show their chefs, a common occurence with ancient restaurants to guarantee the flavor of their shop, with famous chefs.

It was the exact plaque that made his cold aura authentic, a bloodthirst could be felt and everyone tried to eat without noticing it. Some quivered and ate their food silently, as if a hunter was stalking their prey.

On the plaque, certain names were on it that sparked high chances.

"Meet our renown chefs and their sous chefs!"

Some small frames of their pictures show with them smiling except a few.

Xiao Mie

Bai Yun

Waqui Mingwe

Mo Lei

and many unsignificant others!

Many faces with black bars covering the majority of it were than laid on the bottom row, they had no distinct features on their face so they were deemed side characters.

Bai Li's face was extremely cold, he held great disdain from his emotions but none of it was rage or anger. It was seen as coldhearted, he would show no mercy to Mo Tian if he were to encounter him. Mo Lei had no significant purpose other than most likely helping his brother deal with the stronger foe, he must've contacted Mo Tian about it and must've gotten his consent.

Bai Li also knew parts of the pain of the poison, after digesting it, it was a slow poison that would slowly spread throughout your body. They would inflict the heart with the deadly poison where the poison would begin pumping slow dosage of poison which cause excruciating pain til one point. The maximum lifespan would only span for a year. From the time he ate at the pavillion, it was about five months when he first ate the dishes, which meant it progressed quite far. If not for the innate ability from the Poison King's Body that gave him some poison resistance even without the technique on, he would feel as if many pins were being hammered slowly into his heart and throughout his body, which will numb the body of its senses from the endless waves of pain, slowly growing more powerful to increase the pain before rupturing the heart.

He brought a small bile and filled the poison from his body into it, the vile putrid green mucus swished around as he observed it, the food came, most likely without the same poison since he kept his identity hidden.

He took a bite of it and smiled, the waiter took it as natural and thought of the customer to be a bum first experiencing the explosion of flavors from the food and left.

The poison slowly accumulates and continue producing, without cleansing his body, it'll continue producing through his veins, his Poison King's Body only allowed an outlet to drive it away.

As of now, he had a poisonous body in which he can use for himself, maybe he would gain higher resistance from the poison where it wouldn't affect his life but still be able to use it? He doesn't know.

But using the same method to kill as Mo Lie did would be too disgusting to taint his hands. It was stooping to their level.

He had no hard feelings for the fellow, even with the attemptioned assassination attempt, just wanted to give some punishment to do so. But he also knew from novels he read in the library that destroying the roots of evil will end all problems, but having it grow in controlled proportions was also great fun.

A plethora of ideas came to mind, but the perfect revenge was only taking shape. Whatever the plan was, it would definitely be as toxic and poisonous as the poison in his veins.
