Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 495

Yu Wu picked up a karaage and bit into it, and a large explosion of flavours occurred inside her mouth, the perfect crunch and the succulent fish inside it which melted in her mouth, it was truly wonderful.

Her face flushed red as she spoke with a smile on her face, “This is so wonderful, maybe I should take some for my grandchildren they would like it.”

Ryuu looked at her curiously as he spoke, “You have grandchildren?”

Yu Wu nodded as she spoke, “Yes they are wonderful just last month they had managed to reach Zifu Disciple level and they have yet to reach their fifteenth birthday, I am blessed having such talented descended.”

Ryuu simply nodded at her words while Yamamoto’s eyes for a moment travelled towards Ryuu as a brief small smile appeared on his face as he mused inwardly, ‘Zifu at fifteen well if I remember I was a bit faster but compared to the one sitting in front of me all of us are trash.’

Yu Wu let out a small gasp as she spoke while looking towards a certain direction, “Ah that group over there, if I am not that is the girl that you had slammed on the ground before we arrived here.”

Ryuu looked towards the direction that Yu Wu was looking and was greeted by the sight of a glaring Li Xiu as he mused out loud, “Is she trying to combust me my glaring at me.”

“Oh my I never noticed that Jacklin of Vance clan would be here.”

Ryuu sent a look of surprise towards Yu Wu at the slight hint of awe at her voice as he could not help but ask out loud, “Is she someone special?”

Yu Wu gave a nod as she spoke, “Yes she is, she and her brother both are touted as number one genius of Kuvosie having ascended into the Immortal realm shortly after their hundredth day of birth.”, she took a breath as she continued again, “Not only that she is the granddaughter of the current Vance clan head and the niece of the Emperor of Kuvosie.”

Hearing the name of the clan made Ryuu’s hands twitched a bit before took control of his emotions as he mused inwardly, ‘Why am I getting so worked up? The universe is so vast there can be many clans with similar name, and as such it is unsightly of me to get so worked up.’

“So, do any of you have any progeny?”

Yamamoto took a bit from his sushi as he replied to her, “I do, I have eight sons and six daughters who have blessed me with many grandchildren, who intern have their own so yes I have a very large number of descendants.”

Ryuu shrugged as he spoke while taking a sip from his cup full of hirezake, “I have none, there has never been a woman who has managed to capture my heart.”

“I see, so if I may not be to rude but did you know each other from before.”

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, “No, I met advisor Yamamoto for the first time when I came here.”

Yamamoto stroked his beard as he spoke with a small smile on his face, “Actually I met you before a long time ago.”

Ryuu was surprised upon hearing that as he could not help but ask out loud, “When did I meet you? I do not seem to recall it.”

Yamamoto shrugged as he spoke, “It was long time ago and we have not spoken as such you might not seem to recall, and as for when it was a long time ago when you used to accompany your teacher where she used to gives lectures.”

As Ryuu was reminded of memories of a long time ago, Yamamoto continued, “I remember the seven half year old who was already a Wanxiang Adept, acting as his teacher’s assistant, I also remember how one of my colleagues made a mistake and your teacher was scolding him and all of sudden the seven year old laughed thinking the scene of a grownup getting scolded was incredibly funny but it ended up with him getting punished by his teacher for laughing at my colleague.”

Ryuu g.r.o.a.n.e.d as he hid his face behind his hand out of embarrassment as he spoke, “Ugh, please do not remind me of such embarrassing situations.”

Yamamoto simply let out a loose chuckle while Yu Wu spoke with disbelief in her voice, “You are joking right? A seven and a half year old Wanxiang adept, it is not possible.”

Yamamoto looked towards Yu Wu but before he could reply back to her a shout of alarm came to their ears and as they looked towards their source they found the table occupied by the Li Xu and others flung away while one of them had collapsed on the ground and the rest surrounded her.

“The on the ground seems to be poisoned.”

“It seems so my Prince.”

“Then let us help them.”

A few minutes ago the group had received their platter full of ‘Thunder Snow Puffer’ fish meat that had been prepared using various methods, and as Jacklin bit into it an explosion of flavour occurred in her mouth, an explosion that caused a low m.o.a.n to escape her lips as she relished the taste with her eyes closed, only for it to open wide as her throat suddenly burned with great ferocity as she vomited blood before collapsing with foam appearing from her mouth.

Li Xiu was the one who sat closest to Jacklin’s side was the first to move as she was by her friend’s side checking her before she screamed out loud, “Poisoned she has been poisoned.” She then whirled towards the green-haired beauty as she spoke, “Keya help her.”

Keya flung the table obstructing her way as she made her way to Jacklin’s side and a few seconds later she cursed out loud, “Damn those filthy chef’s I will have their heads, she has been puffer fish’s poison in her blood, and rather potent one.”

She quickly took out a pill from her space ring but before she could feed her the pill a powerful voice rang out in the area, “Stop you idiotic child you will kill her.”

A powerful voice stopped in her for a moment but she chose to ignore it but found it difficult to move even an inch, while the same voice continued in a much softer tone, “The stage is yours my prince.”

Keya watched from the corner of her eyes as the person who had had previously slammed Li Xiu on the ground make his way towards them but no one was able to even twitch their finger.

Ryuu grabbed the pill from Keya’s hand as he threw it away while speaking in a bored manner, “The pill you are using would have worked if it was only puffer fish poison, but it is not as it is a designer poison created to mimic the effects of one at the same time it contains a copious amount of blood lotus extract in it and if you are ready to be called as an alchemist then you should what happens when ambergris is mixed with it.”

Keya’s eyes widened as she gulped hard she knew firsthand what would happen and the result would not be pretty, Jacklin would not have a swift painless death but rather a very painful and slow, not to mention even if she by some miracle was healed her life as a cultivator would be over.

Ryuu looked towards Yu Wu as he spoke while handing her a talisman, “When I tell you place this talisman on over her heart and keep it activated by pouring your KI, though I would warn you would feel a bit drained.”

Yu Wu did not say anything as she took the talisman from Ryuu, while he quickly began to focus on his work, “Advisor Yamamoto you may let the others move though if someone interferes me please feel free to show them a lesson.”

Yamamoto simply tilted his head towards Ryuu as he replied back, “As you wish My Prince.”

As the others regained their movement Ryuu looked towards Li Xiu who had Jacklin’s head on her l.a.p as he spoke, “Hold her still and make sure she is comfortable.”

Li Xiu frowned as she quickly guarded Jacklin with her hand as she spoke, “If you think I will let…”

“Young Lady, do you know who I am?”

As those words came to Li Xiu’s ears she looked towards the speaker as she spoke with her eyes wide, “You are senior Yu Wu of Shan…”

“Then since you already know me then I hope you will believe me when I say that upon my honor your friend will be alright.”

Ryuu turned to look at others as he spoke with a growl, “Both she and I need some place and according to common sense should you not try and find who tried to poison her since you are all not doing anything why don’t you all go and search for the culprit in the meantime.”

As the people moved to give him some space, Ryuu worked swiftly as with a help of a water bubble he managed to gather a greyish gunk from her which he promptly dropped on the floor far away from Jacklin.

“Yu Wu, do it.”

With that, he moved from his position as Yu Wu quickly put the talisman over Jacklin’s heart as she activated it, and in a moment Jacklin went stiff as her breathing slowed down to the point she was barely breathing as Li Xiu sent an accusing glare towards Ryuu as she shouted out, “What did you do to her?”

Yamamoto gave a stern glare to Li Xiu as he spoke, “He is saving her life, and that talisman placed her in a somewhat stasis like state while he is currently creating the cure.”

Yamamoto watched like a hawk as Ryuu create the antidote and as the pill tribulation arrived he could not help but exclaim out loud, “What a beauty, as expected of theirs’ student.”, and Ryuu finished his work Yamamoto could not help but clap.

Ryuu looked towards Yamamoto as he tilted his head in acknowledgement and offered him a small smile before he fed Jacklin the medicinal pill while Yu Wu moved away from her.

With a gasp of breath Jacklin sat up as Ryuu spoke in a bored tone, “Please try to remove the toxicity in your body incurred due to consumption of large amount of medicinal pills, it would lower the effect of poison and please be vigilant.”

Ryuu then turns towards Yu Wu as he spoke, “Let us leave Sister Yu Wu, I think I have enough of excitement for the day.”

With that the group of three left leaving behind a bewildered Jacklin who was swarmed by her friends as Keya suddenly screamed out loud with disbelief, “It was pill tribulation, I saw a freaking tribulation.”, as she shouted her excitement turned out to be too much as she collapsed on the ground losing her consciousness.
