Chapter 1401: Chapter 1395

The purpose of the two girls’ trip, needless to say, was the Poisonous Centipede from earlier in the day.

"Eight or nine out of ten. However, your mommy’s poison, because it went through the tea leaves, is lighter than the poison on the tea picker girl. But correspondingly, because of the tea leaves, the centipede poison transformed into tea poison, which seeped into the body and merged into the bloodstream, making it even harder to eradicate."

Xin Lin’s eyes gleamed as she looked at the Tea Mountain before her.

She defended Tu Suxia during the daytime purely because she didn’t want to alert the enemy, preventing Tu Suxia from acting and transferring the poisonous tea leaves or centipedes.

The area around the Tea Mountain remained quiet.

No one was seen sent by Tu Suxia,

it seemed Tu Suxia didn’t plan to transfer the poisonous tea leaves or centipedes.

"If Tu Suxia isn’t making any moves, could it be that the poisonous tea leaves aren’t on the Tea Mountain?"

Murong Ziyue voiced her concern.

They only had one day.

The life of her mommy was at stake; she couldn’t afford to gamble.

"No, by doing this, it’s very likely he doesn’t worry about the poisonous tea leaves or the poison insect being discovered. Indeed, in such a large tea mountain, finding a poisonous centipede or a few centipedes is not easy."

Poisonous insects like centipedes prefer to reside in damp and dark places.

They are usually found under stream rocks.

However, the centipedes cultivated by Tu Suxia for the poisonous tea leaves are probably mutated, and it’s likely their living habits have changed as well.

Soon, Xin Lin confirmed this.

She and Murong Ziyue searched around the stream but found nothing.

Time flew by, and it was already midnight.

"Just like during the day, nothing was found. Why not catch a supervisor to interrogate?"

Even Murong Ziyue’s usually calm face showed some worry.

Once dawn breaks and people return to work on the Tea Mountain, they will have missed their chance.

"Don’t alert the enemy,"

Xin Lin pondered.

Suddenly, she remembered something.

Xin Lin took out the Sealing Spirit Talisman No.2.

Now possessing two summoning spirits, Xin Lin didn’t release the little fox this time, but instead released Danzi.

Chirp chirp chirp chirp~

Danzi was lively and excited.

Since arriving in Fuzhou, Xin Lin feared Danzi would wreak havoc by spewing fire, thus she only let it out at night.

Danzi had picked up on the routine: whenever mommy let it out, it meant food.

Its beady eyes, like Hei Dou, stared eagerly at Xin Lin.

But today, mommy was acting strangely, not giving it a single morsel for quite some time.

Chirp chirp chirp chirp~

Danzi was somewhat displeased.

Its tummy was already flat with hunger, where’s the food?

"Hungry? Go find something to eat yourself."

Xin Lin pointed towards the Tea Mountain ahead.

Chirp chirp chirp chirp~

Danzi looked bewildered.

It glanced at the dark looming Tea Mountain, reluctantly dragging its short, round body forward.

Looking to the left, a stretch of greenery.

It doesn’t eat grass.

Looking to the right, a bare stretch.

It doesn’t eat wood.

Looking below, a dark patch.

It doesn’t eat grass.

Looking behind, a splash of flowing water.

It doesn’t drink dirty water!

Danzi suddenly felt wronged.

Since daddy left, or rather, since that flashy, showy fox arrived, its treatment took a nosedive!

No more Spiritual Delicacy Buns!

No more Candied Hawthorn!

No more anything!

Mommy even expected it to find its own food?

With tears as big as beans almost spilling from Danzi’s eyes,

just then, Danzi suddenly noticed something!

Its beady little eyes sparkled with light!
