Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 2367: Chapter 2367: Poisoned with Deadly Toxin

The Fat Man felt something drop into his mouth; his tongue stirred, and it instantly dissolved into liquid and flowed down his throat. He was secretly shocked. He had planned to hide the Pill under his tongue and spit it out when he got the chance, but who knew that thought would be shattered so quickly.

The Elder said coldly, "Swallow it."

Fatty: "What?"

The Elder: "I told you to swallow it. Didn’t you hear?"

The Fat Man’s mind was collapsing, and when he heard this, he said in a dead-souled tone, "Senior, the Pill’s already melted. No need to swallow, it’s already flowed into my belly."

The Elder’s gaze flashed sharply at him, and he said in a grim tone, "Even if it’s melted you still have to swallow. You’re so sly—who knows if you’ll spit it out the moment I’m not looking?"

Under the Elder’s supervision, the Fat Man took several gulps of water before the Elder finally let him go.

At this moment the Fat Man could no longer crack a smile. With a wry face he asked, "Senior, just what kind of poison did you make me take?"

The Elder said in a sinister tone, "This is a Soul Severing Pill. It can only keep you two safe and sound for seven days. After seven days, if you haven’t come back here to take the antidote, once time’s up, your guts will instantly be riddled with holes and rot away. Even if a Great Luo Immortal came, he couldn’t save you. You’ll only be able to go report to Lord Yama."

"Soul Severing Pill?"

The two brothers were startled. In the Itinerant World, it was said that the Soul Severing Pill was a lethal poison with terrifying potency. Aside from the antidote refined with the same recipe, there was no cure under heaven.

They had only heard of it before and felt that this precious poison was far removed from their lives. They never thought that the first time they saw it, it would already be in their bellies.

"Fatty Brother, since you’ve already taken the poison, your big brother will stay with you. We two brothers will share life and death." The Thin Man took a deep breath, looking like he was ready to face death.

If he didn’t take the poison, he could only stay in this icy-cold, sunless underground palace. Either way he’d die. Dying outside was better than in the underground palace. And if luck was on their side and they found a peerless treasured sword to help the Elder split open the coffin, wouldn’t that mean they didn’t have to die?

Even knowing it was a dead end, he still refused to accept reality. Everyone has beautiful hopes in their hearts; even at the most desperate moment, they still feel there’s a sliver of life waiting ahead.

"Big Brother, you’re so good to me."

The two brothers, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short, hugged each other tightly and bawled their eyes out, deeply moved. They never expected that their fates would be the same, and that in the end they would die in exactly the same way.

The Elder said impatiently, "Alright, alright, stop wailing on my turf. Are you going out or not?"

The two brothers immediately stopped crying when they heard this and said in unison, "We are."

Who are you kidding? They’d already taken such a deadly poison—wasn’t that precisely because they wanted to get out?

Both brothers had taken the poison.

The coffin suddenly lifted off the ground and floated into the air. While spinning non-stop in midair, it banged a few times—thump thump thump—against different directions on the walls.

Just when the two brothers had no idea what he was doing, rumble... rumble... suddenly, one of the walls slowly opened...

A shaft of sunlight shone in.

So outside was the exit of the underground palace.

When the two brothers saw this, they couldn’t care about anything else. Overjoyed, they dashed out. Who knew that they were too excited and didn’t watch their step—one misstep, and with a splash they fell into the river...

Behind them, the Elder let out a strange laugh: "Heh heh heh... What are you so happy about? You still have to come back in a few days."

......

Glug glug glug...

The two of them swallowed a lot of water in the river, their arms and legs flailing non-stop, and only with great difficulty did they crawl ashore from the middle of the river...

"Huff... huff...!"

Soaked from head to toe and utterly bedraggled, the two of them collapsed on the bank, panting nonstop.

"Man, that was rough. Fatty Brother, we finally got out." For the sake of a Broken Token they’d fallen into the underground palace and almost lost their lives, and by the time they came out, they were already loaded with deadly poison. Thinking of all this, he felt utterly stifled.
