The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 748

Chapter 748: 606 Slap in the Face, Tearing Off the True Face of the Evil Doctor [2 Updates]

"..."

The bedroom was silent, with only the rustling sound of the wind stirring the leaves outside the window.

It was eerily quiet.

Qiu Man turned around from in front of the dressing mirror. She slowly placed the ox horn comb down, her face the picture of complete confusion, "What? How could your token have been taken by me?"

As she spoke, she smiled faintly, her tone genial, "Wasn’t the token something you carelessly lost and was picked up by the evil doctor?"

"Your right hand," Ying Zijin remained unmoved, composed, "See if black patterns have appeared on it."

Qiu Man instinctively looked at her right hand, only to find nothing there.

Two seconds later, she realized what was happening, her expression turning icy, "You’re deceiving me?!"

"Oh, sorry," Ying Zijin’s apology lacked any sincerity, her tone dismissive, "I miscounted by three seconds, three, two, one."

As the last word dropped, a heart-wrenching pain shot through her right hand, and Qiu Man’s expression shifted.

Soon, her entire right arm went numb.

But Qiu Man’s response was swift.

She produced three golden needles in her hand, sealing the acupoints in her right arm, hindering the spread of the poison.

However, the palm of her right hand had been entirely covered with a black pattern, grotesquely terrifying.

Qiu Man slowly exhaled, a smile emerging on her face, "Impressive, truly impressive, a hero rises from youth. The poison on your token—I indeed did not discover it."

"I also didn’t expect that you left the token there on purpose."

Two small mistakes had exposed her.

A hundred years of concealment had come to naught today.

"You know I’m an evil doctor and that I specialize in both Ancient Medicine and Ancient martial arts, yet you dared to come here alone," Qiu Man was genuinely interested, "Are you so sure I wouldn’t do something to you?"

"Ying Zijin, I have to admire your boldness."

"Yes, I am the leader of the evil doctors. Under my command, there are still one thousand eight hundred evil doctors—you would never guess who they are."

By saying such things, she was no longer trying to hide her identity.

Ying Zijin watched her, her expression calm.

"Actually, I am quite reluctant to deal with you," Qiu Man sighed softly, "Do you know that besides Feng Lan, you are the most talented alchemist I’ve ever met?"

Ying Zijin’s gaze turned slightly cold.

Feng Lan was that stunningly talented disciple Foo Xi had taken under his wing.

She was highly gifted in both refining medicine and acupuncture, and her blood had wonderful uses.

This time when she returned to Earth and met Foo Xi, the most Foo Xi talked about was Feng Lan.

Foo Xi had constantly blamed himself for not being able to protect his disciple.

"Speaking of Feng Lan, her death was truly tragic," Qiu Man laughed again, "That was almost a hundred years ago. We were both in our twenties then, friends. She became Foo Xi’s disciple, and I didn’t."

"She would teach me everything she learned, so she couldn’t believe until her death that I was the evil doctor."

Qiu Man spoke to herself, "First, I poisoned her into muteness, cut off her tongue for my medicine, then plucked out her hair one by one, and finally bled her dry."

"With her blood, I refined a new medicine, which indeed worked wonders, able to cure all poisons."

Ying Zijin’s eyelashes drooped slightly, her voice somber, "You took over the Pill Alliance also to better harm the geniuses of the Ancient medical field."

It was only later that she heard the Great Elder mention that members of the Pill Alliance would occasionally disappear, all of them well-known figures.

But there were not many, and no one thought to connect it to the evil doctors.

"Indeed." Qiu Man clicked her tongue in approval, "Yes, and the Fourth Elder—I’d known for a long time that the Fourth Elder’s family was coming to the Pill Alliance. I got there first. He really did die a pitiful death, his son kneeling on the ground begging me to spare his wife."

"But how could I? I killed his wife first, and then him. Later on, I even consoled the Fourth Elder, gave him a hefty consolation prize. He was tearfully grateful to me, not knowing that I was the one who wiped out his entire family."

Qiu Man laughed so hard that tears came out, "Funny, isn’t it?"

Ying Zijin’s fingers clenched slightly, "No wonder."

The guards sent by the Fourth Elder were from the Pill Alliance, making them Qiu Man’s subordinates. Only Qiu Man would find it most convenient to take action.

But Qiu Man’s prestige in the Pill Alliance was too high; nobody suspected her.

"Enough talk, Ying Zijin, you still have a chance," Qiu Man said haughtily, "What’s the difference between evil doctors and Ancient Medicine? We, the evil doctors, pursue the ultimate in medical skills!"

"I am confident I can train you to be stronger than Foo Xi, and with you joining me, we can go to better places in the future."
