Young Master in Flower City

Gurgle~

Shangguan Biyue swallowed, put down the remote control, and walked towards the dining room on high heels, click-clack~. Her stomach couldn't help but make a constant gurgling sound. The closer she got, the harder it was to resist, simply because the aroma of the dishes was too enticing, opening up her appetite.

This guy, can he really cook? Are we sure these dishes weren't ordered from a fancy hotel?

Thus, Shangguan Biyue said to Xiao Tianyu, "Tianyu, did you really make this?"

As she spoke, Shangguan Biyue couldn't resist reaching out with her delicate hand, ready to taste a bit first. Slap~ Xiao Tianyu smacked Shangguan Biyue's hand. Immediately, Shangguan Biyue retracted her hand with a slight pout. Xiao Tianyu said coolly, "Did you wash your hands?"

"No... no, I just wanted to taste it first!" Shangguan Biyue stuck out her tongue, revealing a mischievous smile. "Don't just stand there; continue cooking. I promise I won't sneak a taste again!"

Such a good chef should be well-utilized; otherwise, it would be a serious waste.

Xiao Tianyu glanced at Shangguan Biyue, truly a glutton.

Then, Xiao Tianyu went into the kitchen. Shangguan Biyue didn't bother about washing her hands; she tasted a bit first and was instantly captivated. Not only was it better than any star-rated hotels, but even on par with the dishes from the Celestial Universe International Hotel.

How could this bastard's cooking skills be so good? Shouldn't they be utilized more in the future? Otherwise, it would really be a waste.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Biyue shivered suddenly. No, how could she forget the real business? Today wasn't solely about inviting Xiao Tianyu for a meal.

Then, Shangguan Biyue walked to the wine rack in high heels, casually picking up a bottle of Romanée-Conti and two luminous cups.

As the saying goes, "Fine wine in luminous cups."

Drinking wine in luminous cups certainly has a unique flavor.

After preparing everything, Shangguan Biyue took out a white porcelain bottle from her bosom, whispering, "Tianyu, don't blame me; I have orders I cannot defy!"

Thinking of this, Shangguan Biyue opened the porcelain bottle, pouring some white powder into another cup. This powder was exactly the Seven-Star Soft Tendon Powder, an exclusive poison from the Seven-Star Tower, colorless and tasteless. Even those with deep power, upon consuming it, would become limp and weak.

Originally, Shangguan Biyue prepared the Deadly Poison of Red-headed Crane, but thinking that one who drinks it would suffer the painful process of rotting from inside out, she replaced it with Seven-Star Soft Tendon Powder.

Soon, dishes full of color, aroma, and taste were placed on the table, but Shangguan Biyue no longer had her previous demeanor; she looked grave, and there seemed to be a trace of reluctance.

"Tianyu, if I ever do something that wrongs you, will you hate me?" Shangguan Biyue's beautiful eyes flickered as she gazed at Xiao Tianyu.

Xiao Tianyu looked at Shangguan Biyue with deep eyes, unexpectedly saying, "Did you put something in the wine?"

"..." Shangguan Biyue was suddenly stunned, and after a while, she replied, "No... no..."

"Do you want to kill me?" Xiao Tianyu strangely asked again.

Shangguan Biyue's beautiful eyes widened significantly. Did he notice something? He shouldn't have, right?

Then, Shangguan Biyue chuckled softly, "How could that be? I love you too much. Besides, with such cooking skills, how could I bear to?"

As she spoke, Shangguan Biyue's heart was in her throat. If Xiao Tianyu really discovered something and turned back to kill her, she would be dead for sure.

After all, the Fortress Master of Twelve Flying Peng Castles is a renowned figure, even the master of Seven-Star Tower fears them greatly. Otherwise, the master wouldn't have sent Shangguan Biyue to allure with beauty and then assassinate.

"Makes sense!" Xiao Tianyu smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Biyue exhaled a long breath of relief. Oh my~ you almost scared the soul out of me.

Then, Shangguan Biyue lightly smiled and raised her glass, "Tianyu, for cooking such delicious dishes, I toast you!"

"I don't drink!" Xiao Tianyu said flatly.

"You don't drink?"

Shangguan Biyue was stunned. If you don't drink, doesn't that mean all my preparations are for nothing? Also, if you don't drink, why didn't you say so earlier, so I could prepare something else?

Thinking of this, Shangguan Biyue chuckled softly again, enchanting all, "Just one glass, it won't kill anyone anyway. Don't you even have a bit of face to give me?"

"I'm afraid just one glass might truly kill!" Xiao Tianyu's voice was very indifferent.

"..." Shangguan Biyue was dumbfounded again, laughing after a while, "Afraid I'll poison you?"

"That's not impossible!"

"..." Shangguan Biyue felt her throat was quite blocked. Every word from Xiao Tianyu made her have the urge to vomit blood. This was a chance never to have again in her life; could it really be ruined because this guy won't drink?

"Tianyu, you really know how to joke. I care for you too much; how could I possibly harm you!" Shangguan Biyue felt somewhat guilty, but how could she ever fool Xiao Tianyu's sharp eyes?

Then, Xiao Tianyu calmly said, "Alright, I'll drink one glass!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Biyue's heart was filled with joy, nodding, "Okay!"

Shangguan Biyue raised her wine glass, chuckling softly, "I toast you, bottoms up to start..."

"Wait, I think your glass tastes better, why don't we swap?" Xiao Tianyu unexpectedly said, wine just at Shangguan Biyue's lips. She was dumbfounded; swap? That's impossible, absolutely cannot swap.

Thus, Shangguan Biyue said, "They are both poured from the same bottle; how could my glass taste better?"

"Makes sense, cheers!" Xiao Tianyu smiled slightly, drinking the wine in his glass in one go. Following suit, Shangguan Biyue glanced at Xiao Tianyu and also drank hers in one go.

Putting down the glass, Shangguan Biyue revealed a trace of apology, "Tianyu, do you blame me?"

"I don't blame you!" Xiao Tianyu shook his head. Perhaps because Shangguan Biyue was easygoing, or perhaps because here, Xiao Tianyu felt the warmth of home, he didn't blame.

However, upon hearing this, Shangguan Biyue was stunned, so she asked, "Do you know there's poison in the wine?"

"Uh?" Xiao Tianyu nodded, "Killing me would make it easier for you to report back, wouldn't it?"

Shangguan Biyue's heart shook inexplicably, "You know my identity?"

"Uh-huh!" Xiao Tianyu nodded.

On hearing this, warm tears flowed down from the corners of Shangguan Biyue's eyes, "You fool, knowing there's poison, you still drink, you're a complete bastard. Could it be you just..."

Bang!

Before she could finish, Xiao Tianyu's head fell, slumping onto the table, snoring gently.

Seeing this scene, a trace of coldness flashed in Shangguan Biyue's beautiful eyes, immediately a dagger glinting with cold light appeared in her hand.

This is the only chance to kill Xiao Tianyu; there will never be a second time.

Swish~

A flash of cold light, the dagger directly aimed at Xiao Tianyu's throat, but stopped just an inch away. Shangguan Biyue's heart was in turmoil, her beautiful eyes flickering intensely. Should she really kill him?

Why is he so foolish, knowing it's poisoned and still drinks?

At this moment, Shangguan Biyue's heart was very conflicted. She thought several times to end Xiao Tianyu's life, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it. Perhaps because they once shared the same bed, or perhaps because Xiao Tianyu drank the poisoned wine, fully aware.
