Seventh Miss Chang Yu, still sulking from being pressured to marry, immediately sold out her second sister. “It’s actually just wildflowers from the back mountain. Second sister always uses them to trick people from outside the island!”

Chang Ling’s hairs stood on end. She leapt up, ready to pounce on her.

Chang Ying frowned. “Second sister, there you go again! How could you serve wildflowers to Hero Ye? Hero Ye is a friend of Hero Xiao, and Hero Xiao is our younger brother’s savior. Both of them are honored guests of our Hidden Night Sect!”

Chang Ling wasn’t young anymore, but her mischievous streak had clearly never changed.

She pouted and muttered reluctantly, “Alright, alright, I made a mistake. I didn’t mean to fool the guest with wildflowers.”

Seventh Miss Chang Yu muttered under her breath, “Nice excuse.”

The moment Ye Qing heard “back mountain,” his eyes lit up. He immediately said, “No, no, this flower tea tastes wonderful! I wonder what kind of wildflower it is, might I take a look?”

Once he reached the back mountain, surely he would be able to spot some purple herb?

And if he did, he could quietly pick a few while he was at it.

“Second sister, aren’t you going to hurry and fetch some?” Chang Ying deliberately assigned the task to her as punishment; rather than sending the youngest, Chang Yu, she made Chang Ling go herself.

Chang Ling went off with a darkened expression, and before long, came back holding a full basket.

When Ye Qing saw the flowers and herbs in the basket, his eyes went wide.

Weren’t these exactly the purple herb they had been desperately searching for?

Except this time, the purple herb were actually in bloom.

Do the purple herb really bloom? He had never heard of such a thing before.

“What’s wrong, Hero Ye?” Chang Ying caught the flicker of unease on his face.

Ye Qing snapped back to his senses, suddenly realizing that the tea he had just drunk had been brewed from purple herb flowers. Could he have been poisoned?

He forced himself to calm down, carefully choosing his words before speaking, “To be honest, I once read in a book about this type of purple herb. Its rhizome is highly poisonous, but it’s never mentioned to bloom.”

Chang Ling instantly bristled. “What’s that supposed to mean? Are you accusing me of poisoning you?”

The third sister spoke up, “At most it gives you a bit of diarrhea, how can you call that highly poisonous?”

That statement held far too much information.

So, you’ve actually eaten purple herb rhizomes before, and all that happened was a case of diarrhea?

Chang Ying thought for a moment and said, “If someone were to accidentally ingest the rhizome of this wild herb, it’s true that it could… cause mild poisoning.”

Just diarrhea and you’re calling that poisoning? Ptui, ptui!

While internally grumbling, Chang Ying’s expression remained pleasant and calm. “But eating a bit of its fruit will neutralize the effects.”

Ye Qing froze again. It not only bloomed, but it bore fruit as well?

As if noticing his confusion, Chang Ying explained, “This kind of herb blooms in deep winter and bears fruit during the coldest part of the season. If the weather isn’t cold enough, it’ll remain just an ordinary clump of grass all year round.”

Hearing this, Ye Qing suddenly understood.

The purple herb thrived in the cold. Frigid climates were ideal for its growth. That explained why it never bloomed or fruited in other parts of the six states, where temperatures weren’t cold enough.

And from what Chang Ying had just said, while the rhizome was poisonous, the fruit could act as an antidote.

Ye Qing looked in disbelief at the seven daughters of the Chang Family. “The rhizome of this plant is extremely toxic, eating it would kill even an elite martial expert. And you all just… experienced mild poisoning?”

Chang Ying murmured in a daze, “Would it kill someone? Hard to say, we’ve never died from it, so we wouldn’t know.”

Ye Qing: “…”

Chang Ying mused aloud, “Maybe it’s because we’ve eaten a lot of its fruit over the years.”

Chang Yu nodded. “Mm, purple herb fruit tastes really good!”

Then… could you maybe give me some purple herb——

Before Ye Qing could finish that thought, his eyes rolled back, and with a thud, he collapsed to the ground!

Seventh Miss Chang Yu asked curiously, “Eh? Eldest sister, what happened to him?”

Chang Ying took a deep breath, suppressing her frustration as she turned to her second sister Chang Ling. “Second sister, how many times have I told you, the wildflowers and weeds from the back mountain aren’t clean! You have to wash them thoroughly!”

Ye Qing lay sprawled on the ground, black blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Was this really a matter of just washing them more thoroughly?

This stuff was clearly poisonous!

What kind of freaks were these people, to be completely unfazed by purple herb poisoning——

“I did wash them thoroughly.” Second Miss Chang said with an aggrieved look.

The steaming hot dishes were soon brought to the table.

Chang Kun invited Marquis Xuanping to take a seat in the side hall, where six of his sons-in-law were already waiting. He introduced each of them to Marquis Xuanping one by one.

All of them already knew that this man had saved Chang Jing’s life, so they treated Marquis Xuanping with exceptional courtesy.

Looking at this large and bustling family, Marquis Xuanping found himself momentarily at a loss for words.

“Hero Xiao, please sit.” Chang Kun said.

Marquis Xuanping took a seat to Chang Kun’s left. The daughters of the family did not dine at the same table as the men, so the sons-in-law began to take their seats one after another.

The seat next to Marquis Xuanping had been thoughtfully left empty for Ye Qing, while the seat on Chang Kun’s other side was also unoccupied, Marquis Xuanping guessed it was being reserved for Chang Jing.

It seemed Chang Jing’s status on the island was indeed quite high; despite having been gone for three years, he still enjoyed the treatment of a Young Island Lord.

Before long, Chang Jing arrived.

He had bathed and changed into a set of clean, dry clothes. Even his hairstyle was different, no longer a single bun tied at the top of his head, but like the other island men, he now wore numerous braids.

——Braided by his seven older sisters.

After three long years, they finally had the chance to braid their little brother’s hair again, and all seven sisters were overjoyed!

Not even their wives had braided their hair… The six brothers-in-law were green with envy!

Looking at this version of Chang Jing, Marquis Xuanping suddenly had the strange illusion that his youngest son had grown up.

Of course, Chang Jing wasn’t actually his son, but he had entered Marquis Xuanping’s life during the darkest period after losing Ah Heng.

It wasn’t quite that he saw Chang Jing as Ah Heng’s replacement, but it was true that Chang Jing had accompanied him through an incredibly difficult time.

Chang Jing greeted his father and each of his brothers-in-law before sitting down next to Marquis Xuanping. “You’re looking at me funny.”

Marquis Xuanping calmly averted his gaze and asked in his usual tone, “Where’s Ye Qing?”

“He was poisoned.” Chang Jing replied.

“How did that happen?” Marquis Xuanping asked, though judging by Chang Jing’s relaxed demeanor, it didn’t seem too serious. He wasn’t worried it was some kind of incurable poison.

Chang Jing sighed and said, “What else? You people from outside the island are too delicate, just drinking a little flower tea and you end up poisoned. I’ve been drinking it since I was a kid and never had a problem.”

Marquis Xuanping: “…”

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
