Chapter 949: Guess, Guess

But in the blink of an eye.

He felt something was off again.

Because that day, Night Owl had also slapped him with a burst of energy.

If she really liked him that much, how could she bear to slap him?

It didn't make sense.

This made Zhang Zhishan feel very disappointed.

Could it be that he had misunderstood?

But then, he suddenly remembered something, and a smile reappeared on his face.

Because he recalled that Night Owl had slapped him only after he boasted about having countless romantic encounters.

What did that mean?

It clearly meant that Night Owl was jealous.

Such a heavy slap wasn't just ordinary jealousy; it was extreme jealousy.

"It must be so!"

Zhang Zhishan's lips curled up high, and his heart was filled with joy.

Looking at Night Owl's jealous demeanor, it wasn't just that she liked him; she loved him, even to the bone!

"Zhang Zhishan, oh Zhang Zhishan, you truly possess unparalleled charm. Although your cultivation talent doesn't rank among the top of the younger generation in Cloud Star, that must be because the heavens envy your brilliance."

"Giving you such a stunning appearance while depriving you of some cultivation talent isn't too much."

Zhang Zhishan, with his hands behind his back, couldn't help but hum a tune...

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

And the poison masters of Sky Poison Island did not disappoint, having successfully developed a new spatial poison.

In reality, while it seemed like only three days had passed, dozens of poison masters had actually been working together for three years to develop this new spatial poison.

To meet Yi Feng's demands and complete the task quickly, they had expended great resources to use a spatial artifact, hence the three years.

So early this morning.

Over a hundred poison masters from Sky Poison Island gathered here, each wearing confident smiles.

Three years of hard work.

They were fully confident about this experiment.

As the test subjects, Fu Nantian and Yi Feng naturally arrived as well.

Seeing the grand gathering of over a hundred poison masters and observing their destinies, Fu Nantian immediately realized that these poison masters had used a spatial artifact.

"Kid, are you ready?" Fu Nantian couldn't help but remind him. "This time, they're serious. They've used a spatial artifact to develop the poison."

"Oh, a spatial artifact?"

Yi Feng's eyes lit up.

He understood what that was. Initially, he hadn't expected much from the poison masters' three-day effort, but hearing Fu Nantian's words, he became excited.

Noticing Yi Feng's excitement, Fu Nantian couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Just how high is this kid's level of enlightenment?

Could there really be someone in the world so selfless, willing to sacrifice their life without a second thought?

Does he not have even a shred of concern for his own life?

"Two heroes, we'll have to trouble you again today."

At this moment, a high-ranking member of Sky Poison Island approached and said, "This time, the poison mist space has been improved and refined by nearly a hundred poison masters from our island, based on the previous version. If all goes well, the two of you might..."

"No need to say more."

Yi Feng waved his hand to interrupt, slightly raising his head, and declared heroically, "What is there to fear in death? To dedicate one's life to this grand cause is a duty I cannot shirk. If everything is ready, I will enter now."

"Excellent!"

"Truly a hero."

The group of poison masters from Sky Poison Island was deeply moved, each expressing their admiration.

"Since the two heroes wish to enter early, please proceed!"

The leading elder extended his hands.

Subsequently, the hundred or so people made way for Yi Feng and the other, bowing respectfully as they sent them off.

Without hesitation, Yi Feng stepped into the space.

Fu Nantian followed closely behind.

It was the same familiar space, with scattered bones on the ground. The two casually found a spot and sat down cross-legged, waiting for the poison mist to descend.

Moments later, mist appeared in the space—the poison mist was coming.

As soon as he sensed the poison mist, Fu Nantian knew this poison was no simple matter; it was far more potent than the last time.

He couldn't help but smile.

"Last time, this kid survived because the poison was too weak. With this poison, he's probably in grave danger."

"After waiting so many days, this day has finally come."

"Once this kid can't hold on, I'll save him, and then he'll be grateful and eager to become my disciple."

Under his bamboo hat, he was calculating his plans.

Outside the space.

Over a hundred poison masters waited patiently, their expressions a mix of anticipation and tension.

Zhang Zhishan stood in a corner, sneering inwardly, thinking that from today onward, he would no longer have to serve tea and water to others.

Just then, a woman in a white dress, barefoot, like a noble fairy from the mortal world, slowly approached.

Her appearance seemed to focus the sunlight from the sky onto her, making the most beautiful things in the world pale in comparison.

The woman's arrival immediately drew the attention of everyone present.

"Who is this?"

"Yes, when did such a beautiful fairy come to our desolate island?"

Her appearance caused a stir among the crowd.

All eyes were fixed on her.

However.

When they saw her face clearly...

"Holy crap..."

Several old men stroking their beards nearly pulled them out, while others almost had heart attacks and collapsed on the spot. The rest were wide-eyed in shock.

Because the newcomer was none other than their Sky Poison Island's leader, Night Owl.

"God, am I seeing this right? Is that the island leader?"

"This is beyond bizarre, utterly unbelievable!"

"How could the island leader be dressed like this?"

In short, everyone present was as shocked as they could be.

Among those present, the poison masters knew their leader best—she had always been dressed in dark, cold attire that sent shivers down one's spine.

Today, she looked like the girl next door?

However, unlike the others' shock, Zhang Zhishan in the corner smiled, "Night Owl, this girl, has really gone all out to please me!"

As everyone was buzzing with discussion, Night Owl approached.

Though their thoughts were myriad, they wouldn't be fooled by her appearance into thinking she was some kind-hearted person.

They didn't dare delay in greeting her: "Greetings, Island Leader."

"Has the space been opened?"

Facing them, Night Owl remained as expressionless as ever, her voice low as she asked.

"Yes, at the request of the two heroes, it was opened early."

An elder replied.

"Is that so..."

"Had I known, I wouldn't have spent so much time on makeup..."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Night Owl's face, but she didn't show it. Instead, she beckoned the elder in charge of the matter.

"Island Leader, what are your orders?"

The elder approached nervously.

"Remember my orders: ensure Yi Feng's safety at all costs," Night Owl said coldly in private. "Otherwise, I'll take your life."

The elder shivered, replying with a bitter expression, "Island Leader, I'll do my best."

Remembering something, he added, "But Island Leader, what about Hero Fu?"

"Although Yi Feng is indeed more admirable, Hero Fu is also..."

"Uh..."

Night Owl was momentarily stunned, only then remembering that besides Yi Feng, there was also Fu Nantian.

"Handle it as you see fit."

With a light toss of her words, Night Owl left.

...

No one is immune to gossip.

So after Night Owl left, the murmurs started again.

"Did you notice, the Island Leader seems to have changed recently."

"Yes, it feels a bit strange."

"I can't figure out why she's dressed like this."

"True, although she does look good, it's really puzzling."

"Not just puzzling, it's also a bit eerie. It's just too bizarre."

Nearby.

Listening to their discussions, Zhang Zhishan's lips curled up to his ears.

"Guess, guess, discuss all you want, you old fools."

"You'll never guess that the Island Leader you fear has changed so drastically because she loves me and wants to please me."

"She only came here under the pretext of inspecting the poison test to see me; otherwise, why would she come after everyone had already entered?"
