Chapter 675: Superb Poison Skills

“Fu Chengxing, do you know why you are still alive? It’s because I’m thinking of Imperial Father, so I don’t want to kill you. The court has finally stabilized a little after great difficulty, and I don’t want to stir up a hornet’s nest now. However, don’t think that I am incapable of killing you.” The fifth princess was truly angered, her expression cold.

“You think you can kill me on your own?” Fu Chengxing scoffed, but there was a little uneasiness in his heart.

“Try me. If you dare touch even one strand of his hair, I’ll make sure you die without even a grave!” The fifth princess growled.

“Alright then, try and kill me!” As the second prince, this was the first time in his life that Fu Chengxing had been threatened by someone. Even when the first prince was around, he had never dared to make threats on his life. Anger burned in his heart and he whipped out his sword to kill Xia Zhuoyi.

“Hmph!” Fu Chengxing only heard the fifth princess snort, and he suddenly felt dizzy. His hand went limp and the sword fell to the ground.

The two guards who were restraining Xia Zhuoyi also went limp at the same time, dropping to the ground.

Poison! Fu Chengxing immediately realized that he had been poisoned.

Although everyone knew that the fifth princess was good at using poison, and that she had acknowledged Ling Chuxi as her master, her poison skills before this were mere child’s play compared to Fu Chengxing and the rest. Her skills were enough if she wanted to bully ordinary citizens who did not know any martial art skills, but they were of no use when facing true experts.

When had her poison skills become so amazing? Fu Chengxing was dumbfounded, and only then did he recall that no one had seen the fifth princess use poison since last year, so no one knew exactly how much her skills had improved. Everything he knew about her was limited to the person she had been one year ago.

He had taken his enemy lightly, and Fu Chengxing was now regretting it.

Ling Chuxi, who was still hiding, saw the fifth princess’ move and was secretly proud. Her improvement was not bad considering her painstaking efforts.

“Do you still wish for me to kill you?” The fifth princess picked up the sword on the ground and walked towards Fu Chengxing.

Her footsteps were light and graceful, and her hand was trembling slightly. Although she had always been called a devil, she was just an immature girl back then, and her actions were merely pranks. She had never actually killed a person before.

Furthermore, the one before her was her biological brother of the same father. The blood in his body was the same as her own. Regardless of how shameless and despicable he was, the fifth princess still felt reluctant to kill him.

“Stay away!” Fu Chengxing forced himself to stand up, his forehead drenched in sweat. He did not notice the fifth princess’ hesitation.

The fifth princess acted as if she had not heard him and kept approaching, trying to make a decision with great difficulty.

“Are you all still not coming out? Are you waiting for me to die first?” Fu Chengxing suddenly shouted hysterically when he saw the fifth princess’ icy look.

A few masked men suddenly appeared and stood before Fu Chengxing, and one of them lunged forward to attack the fifth princess.

Ling Chuxi had noticed these people earlier, but she had thought they were the fifth princess’ hidden guards. Only now did she realize that they were people that Fu Chengxing had prepared for an ambush. Just as she was about to make a move, she heard Xia Zhuoyi say “Be careful”, as he did his best to stand in front of the fifth princess. Although he was heavily injured, his explosive speed had not diminished at all.
