Don't Worry, You Won't Die

Fragrant Rose was opened; the modern style traditional clothes had become a popular trend.

"It's going well." Zhu Xiao Wan glanced at the shop.

"Isn't it!?" Miss Sui said with excitement.

Zhu Xiao Wan went to a herb shop to look for new plants. She got all the things she needed and was going back.

On her way back, she descried a young man stalking her. The young man followed her until she reached a dead end in a desolate alley.

"Nowhere to escape and no one is going to save you," the young man chuckled.

She turned around to face the young man. With no concern or worry, Zhu Xiao Wan agreed, "That's right, no one will."

The young man was awestruck by Zhu Xiao Wan's face. He then smiled. "Considering your face, I'll grant you an easy death."

"No," she expressionlessly said. "That will not happen."

Huh?

Before he could understand what she was saying, he was slammed to a wall.

Bang!

At the end of her fingertips was a mist of black. Her nail cut through his garments and began to dig into his chest.

"Not even an Orange Spirit yet..." Zhu Xiao Wan asked, "Who?"

The young man was dumbstruck.

How did she!?

He struggled with frantic desperation, but it was to no avail. He started to feel fear crawling into his heart.

Her nails dug in deeper: he was unable to move, so he tried to shout. Unfortunately, no one heard him except Zhu Xiao Wan. The young man swallowed hard. "Who...are you...how..."

"Who sent you?" She ignored his question.

The young man was terrified by her momentum and he subconsciously said, "Prin...Princess You...You Yan..."

Zhu Xiao Wan forced a pill into his mouth. Seeing his horrified face and the fear in his eyes, she comforted him. "Don't worry, you won't die...yet."

She gouged out his heart.

Pffft!

Blood spurted out from the young man's mouth. Zhu Xiao Wan swiftly dodged, it would not be good for her face to be covered in blood.

"You..."

He told her! Why!?

The young man dropped to the ground as he watched his heart being eaten by a crimson flame that burst out from her palm.

"Help me test something." Zhu Xiao Wan took out a small porcelain bottle. "Master just awarded me this."

Once the drug was scattered on the hole in his chest, he let out a piercing squeal. His squeal, however, did not travel to a third person.

The young man's body rotted and melted into a pool of blood. The blood gradually changed to a normal water puddle.

Zhu Xiao Wan stared at the puddle of water in incredulity. "It really suited its name, Expunge Powder."

She should put more effort in learning pharmacology, it would really help.

Zhu Xiao Wan didn't know why Princess You Yan wanted her to be dead. For her to send a Fourth Stage Red Spirit to kill a person without any cultivation, just how much did she hate her? But, since Princess You Yan wanted to kill her, she could only give tit for tat.

Walking out of the alley, Zhu Xiao Wan caught a glimpse of her hair that was stained red. She frowned and wiped it.

In a private room, Tang Rue at this time was enjoying an opera performance. She fell asleep afterward. In her sleep, she dreamed that Zhu Xiao Wan would be gone. Song Hui Yao and her would get married and live as lovebirds till their hair turned white.
