Chapter 38: Drops of Hell


    Linxin could feel that something had changed about Bai Long. But she just couldn''t get her finger over what it was that changed.


    ''He smells even better....''


    With such thoughts, Linxin walked closer to Bai Long and said, "Before taking over the world, we first have to take over this kingdom. And we have to do it fast."


    "Why? Has something happened?"


    Shaking her head, Linxin said, "Nothing has happened yet, but it will soon."


    Before Jian Shen could say anything, Linxin hugged him by the arm and looked towards Cao Ning.


    "Shouldn''t we kick the ves out, before we discuss such sensitive topics?"


    cing his arm around her waist, Bai Long said, "It''s fine. I''m confident that she won''t betray me."


    "Right?"


    As Bai Long looked at her Cao Ning repeatedly nodded her head like a dog, as if to show her feelings.


    "I didn''t expect you to fall so low, Cao Ning."


    Ignoring what Linxin said, Cao Ning kept on looking at Bai Long''s face as she gently rubbed her head on his leg. Because she felt that this calmed her a lot.


    Snorting coldly, Linxin said, "That bastard will catch up to what we are doing sooner orter. And I''m sure he''s getting suspicious due to this one not contacting him for so long."


    "I see."


    Thinking for a few seconds, Bai Long felt that he could now implement his n to take over the Bai Long kingdom without any problems.


    And the first part to do that, was to weaken the king.


    "Cao Ning, I need you to do something for me."


    "What is it, Master?"


    Towards the obedient looking Cao Ning, who looked like she would even kill herself if he told her to, Bai Long handed her a small vial which had a grey coloured liquid in it.


    "I want you to go back, and behave like nothing special happened on your trip. And slowly but discretely mix a few drops of this inside the King''s food and drink."


    Not hesitating the slightest Cao Ning repeatedly nodded her head and said, "As you wish, Master!"


    "Just make sure to not use more than 9 drops in a single day."


    As Cao Ning once again nodded her head, Bai Long patted her head and said, "If you do this properly, I''ll make sure to reward you well."


    Hearing this, Cao Ning''s eyes began sparkling as she hastily dressed herself and left after taking Bai Long''s permission.


    Looking at the disappearing back of Cao Ning, Linxin said, "Are you sure about trusting her so much? If she tells anyone about our ns, everything will be ruined."


    Kissing Linxin on the cheek, Bai Long lightly chuckled.


    "Is someone feeling jealous?"


    "Jealous? Of her? Humph! I have so many ves like her, what is there for me to be to jealo..."


    Kissing Linxin suddenly, Bai Long managed to stop her, which effectively calmed her.


    "Don''t worry, you''ll always be my number one, mother."


    Not saying anything for a while, Linxin enjoyed the moment and finally asked, "What was that grey liquid?"


    "That grey liquid, is a vital part of our n. It is known as the Drops of Hell."


    Before Linxin could ask, Bai Long himself exined all about it.


    The Drops of Hell was a special technique Bai Long found in the Ring of Darkness, and used the same ring to concoct it.


    The Drops of Hell was a special poison which wouldn''t kill anyone, not immediately anyway. But would instead slowly weaken them, until they could finally not even move as much as a single muscle in their body.


    As for the reason behind using no more than 9 drops, it was because using 10th drop would cause the individual to lose their mind and fall into aa.


    That''s why Bai Long ordered Cao Ning to only use 9 drops and keep the king in a state of weakness until he was ready to kill him.


    "But why weaken him?"


    "Because, we don''t have enough power to rule the kingdom even if we kill him."


    As Linxin''s eyes widened in realization, Bai Long still continued his exnation.


    "Before we kill the entire Royal Family, and take over the kingdom, we first need to obtain control over the kingdom''s armies."


    "The best way to do that, is by weakening the king and use theing period of chaos to our advantage."


    "After. all, no matter how much we scheme, it would be impossible to fight against so many people if all of the armies decide to rebel."


    Nodding her head since Bai Long''s words made sense, Linxin spoke the doubts she had.


    "Even if you weaken the king, there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain the loyalty of those generals."


    "I have a n for that too. I have a special technique which will allow me to take control of anyone I want to. But, the technique is pretty low level, and to sessfully use it on someone their mind needs to be shaken."


    "By shaken mind, you mean?"


    "Either by physically weakening them and forcing them into a helpless corner, or by infusing a mental trauma on them."


    Hearing the first part, Linxin was about to say that she wasn''t strong enough to defeat the generals without causing a hugemotion.


    But after hearing the second half of his words, a sinister smile formed on Linxin''s face as she understood what Bai Long was going to do.
