Chapter 211

Si Jiuyue crouched outside, listening to the sounds and struggling to suppress a laugh. She would make sure this wish came true. Elsewhere, Si Beishu and Si Beixing slipped into the kitchen, daggers in hand. They waited for an opportune moment to scatter the poison into the water vat and the meal the bandit cook was preparing. The poison Si Jiuyue had concocted was different from others; if it were too fast-acting, it would be easily identified, so she chose a compound that wouldn't cause immediate suspicion. But once the toxicity took hold, even dragging the victim to a hospital emergency room wouldn't save them. Its name was "Paraquat." It was not only a master of killing weeds but a lethal weapon for exterminating bandits. The trio immediately leaped onto the massive tree beside the kitchen. Even in winter, the canopy remained dense, and no one would suspect that three uninvited guests were hiding in the branches. Fearing that the poison wouldn't spread to enough people quickly enough, Si Jiuyue whispered a plan to her two brothers. They found a deserted corner, where Si Jiuyue produced three large sprayers, filled them with water from a nearby well, and mixed in the paraquat.
