My Xiuxian painting style is not right

Chapter 277: Escape from Marriage

Yunshuang stood by the window and took out a bronze mirror. It reflected a handsome face with a playful look in its eyes.

He was about to put away the bronze mirror when he suddenly saw a flash of red light on the mirror.

"Here it comes." Yun Shuang raised the corner of her mouth.

A fragrant breeze blew by, and Liu Ruyan jumped in from the window. She had changed into a tight black outfit tonight, which made her figure look even more slender.

"Master Yun, I found a secret room in the back garden." Liu Ruyan lowered her voice. "Inside is a stone tablet with the words 'Ghost Realm Passage' engraved on it."

"Where is the secret room?"

"It's right under that thousand-year-old peach tree." Liu Ruyan pulled out a blueprint from her bosom. "I've already drawn a route map."

Yunshuang took the blueprint and looked at it: "This secret room should be connected to the underground secret passage."

"But..." Liu Ruyan bit her lip, "There are two guards outside the secret room. They are the Ghost King's confidants and are quite powerful."

"Guards?" Yun Shuang pulled out a small bottle from her sleeve. "Give them a taste of this."

"what is this?"

"Drunken Soul Powder." Yun Shuang shook the vial. "It's ten times more powerful than Ecstasy Powder. One sniff of it will make you sleep for three days and three nights."

Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up: "Master Yun is indeed well prepared."

"Of course." Yun Shuang handed her the vial. "Go and take care of the guards first. I'll be there soon."

Liu Ruyan was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something: "Oh, I just saw Old Man Baidu mixing a potion. It seems he's going to use it for the Ghost Princess."

"For the princess?" Yun Shuang's eyes flickered. "What medicine?"

"I heard it's called 'Love Threads', which can cause hallucinations and make people mistake the first person they see for their loved one."

Yunshuang touched his chin and said, "This is a good thing."

"What does Young Master Yun want to do?" Liu Ruyan looked at him suspiciously.

"Didn't the system say that it would make the princess fall in love with me?" Yun Shuang said with a smile, "This Love Powder is just what I need."

"You don't mean to..."

"Go steal the medicine." Yun Shuang pulled out a mask from her bosom. "I'll disguise myself as the disciple of the Hundred Poisons Master and sneak into his room."

"It's too dangerous!" Liu Ruyan said anxiously. "Old Man Baidu's room is full of traps, and he even keeps a three-eyed toad that can see through any disguise."

"Three-eyed toad?" Yun Shuang sneered, "I happen to have its favorite food right here."

He pulled out a packet of powder from his cloth bag: "This is a powder made from thousand-year-old cinnabar and sandalwood. When the three-eyed toad smells this, it will fall asleep immediately."

"You've even prepared this?" Liu Ruyan looked at him in surprise.

"Be careful." Yun Shuang put the powder away. "Go deal with the guards first. I'll come find you when I get the medicine."

Liu Ruyan nodded, turned around, and jumped out the window. Yun Shuang watched her leave with a smile on her face.

He picked up the mask on the table and was about to put it on when he heard footsteps outside the door.

A young man in green clothes pushed the door open and walked in. He had a handsome face and held a jade bottle in his hand.

"I am Xiaoqi from the Hundred Poisons Valley. I am here on the orders of my master to deliver medicine to Master Yun."

The boy said respectfully.

Yun Shuang looked at the jade bottle in the boy's hand, her eyes flickering slightly. The style of this bottle was completely different from the ones that the old man Bai Du usually used.

"Xiao Qi?" Yun Shuang pretended to be confused. "Why haven't I heard of such a person in the Hundred Poisons Valley?"

"I am a new disciple." The young man said with his head lowered.

"Really?" Yun Shuang suddenly asked, "Then do you know what the first rule of the Hundred Poison Valley is?"

The boy was stunned for a moment: "Well... I'm still learning..."

"Disciples of the Hundred Poisons Valley never use the word 'Zaixia'."

Yun Shuang sneered, "Who sent you?"

The boy's face changed, and he turned to flee. Yun Shuang waved his hand, and a flash of golden light appeared, instantly freezing the boy in place.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Yun Shuang walked up to the young man.

"It's...it's the Judge," the young man said in a trembling voice, "He asked me to test you."

"Testing me?" Yun Shuang took the jade bottle from the boy's hand. "What's in it?"

"It's...it's a drug that can make people tell the truth."

"The judge is truly cautious." Yun Shuang opened the jade bottle and sniffed it. "But this medicine is too inferior. Even the most common disciple of the Hundred Poisons Valley could not make it."

He threw the jade bottle back to the young man and said, "Go back and tell the judge that I'm looking forward to tomorrow's wedding."

The young man nodded repeatedly and ran out as if escaping. Yun Shuang looked at his back and sneered, "Judge, Judge, you underestimate me too much."

He picked up the mask again and was about to put it on when he suddenly remembered something.

He took out a bronze mirror from his cloth bag and adjusted his clothes in front of it.

"System, do you think I'm handsome like this?"

The system was silent for a moment: "Host, please focus on the mission."

"Isn't this just to complete my mission?" Yun Shuang said confidently, "If I want the princess to fall in love with me, of course I have to dress up nicely."

system:"......"

Yunshuang put on a mask and jumped out of the window. In the night, the Ghost King's Palace was brightly lit, with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere.

He landed lightly in a patch of flowers and moved towards the residence of the old man Baidu.

As he passed a corridor, he saw two maids whispering.

"I heard that the princess of the ghost world is very beautiful."

"Yeah, he just has a weird temper and doesn't talk to anyone."

"I saw her today, wearing a purple dress, standing in the attic in a daze."

Yunshuang's eyes lit up. It seemed that the princess was not very willing to this marriage.

He was about to move on when he suddenly heard footsteps.

An old man in a purple robe came from the corner. It was the old man Bai Du.

He held a jade box in his hand and muttered to himself as he walked: "This love powder is still missing one last ingredient..."

Yunshuang quickly hid behind a pillar. When the old man Baidu walked away, he quietly followed him.

The old man Baidu walked into a room, and Yunshuang looked in through the window. In the middle of the room, she saw an alchemy table with various medicinal herbs on it.

A three-eyed toad lay in the corner, staring at the door without blinking.

Yunshuang took out the packet of powder and blew on it gently. The powder floated into the room. When the three-eyed toad smelled it, his eyelids began to droop and he soon fell asleep.

"Strange, why did Xiaodu fall asleep?" Old Man Baidu turned and looked at Toad.

Just then, there was a commotion outside. Old Man Baidu frowned and walked out of the room to check.

Yunshuang took the opportunity to climb in through the window and headed straight for the alchemy platform.

The jade box was placed on the table. He opened it and saw a bag of pink powder inside.

Just as I was about to take it away, I suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.

"Who's in there?" The voice of the old man Bai Du rang out.

Yunshuang quickly poured the powder into the bottle that had been prepared long ago, then took out a bag of white powder from her arms and poured it into the jade box.

This is his specially made "fake love powder", which will only make you sneeze when you smell it.

The old man Baidu pushed the door open and saw a "disciple" sorting medicinal herbs.

"Master." Yun Shuang bowed respectfully, "Senior Sister Zi Yan asked me to help you clean the room."

The old man Baidu looked him over and asked, "Which disciple are you?"

"My disciple is Xiaojiu, who was accepted last year."

"Oh?" The old man narrowed his eyes. "Then tell me, how many herbs are needed to refine the Love Thread Powder?"

"Seven flavors." Yun Shuang said without hesitation, "They are Acacia Grass, Soul-Bewitching Vine, Love Flower Stamen, Intoxicating Fruit, Love Bug, Acacia Butterfly Wings, and the most important one..."

"That's enough." The old man nodded. "Go down."

Yun Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave. Just as she reached the door, Bai Du Elder suddenly said, "Wait."

Yun Shuang's heart tightened: "Master, do you have any other instructions?"

"You are right." The old man Baidu smiled, "but you forgot one thing."

"what's up?"

"I have never accepted a disciple named Xiaojiu!" The old man Baidu suddenly attacked.

Yunshuang was prepared and dodged the attack with a backward jump. He took out a handful of powder and sprinkled it on the old man Baidu: "Master, try this!"

The old man sneered: "A mere trifle!" He opened his mouth and sucked all the powder into his mouth. "I, the old man, am immune to all poisons. This..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly burped and his face turned red: "Is this...hiccup powder?"

"That's right." Yun Shuang smiled, "And it's an enhanced version that can make you hiccup for three days and three nights."

"You... burp... you..." The old man Baidu was so angry that he couldn't speak and could only burp continuously.

Yunshuang took the opportunity to jump out the window and escape. As soon as he landed, he saw Liu Ruyan waving at him from a distance.

"Is it done?" Liu Ruyan asked.

"Of course." Yun Shuang shook the bottle in her hand, "This is the treasure of the Hundred Poisons Valley."

"Then let's go to the back garden. Senior Sister Lin is already waiting."

Just as the two were about to leave, they suddenly heard a bell ringing.

"Oh no, it's midnight!" Liu Ruyan's face changed. "The wedding is about to begin."

"No hurry." Yun Shuang took out a paper bag from her arms, "I have a gift for the Ghost King."

"what gift?"

"Sneezing powder." Yun Shuang said with a smile, "Sprinkle it in the hall later. I guarantee everyone will sneeze."

"You are so bad!" Liu Ruyan couldn't help laughing.

As the two were talking, a maid came running over: "Master Yun, it's time to go to the main hall!"

"Got it." Yun Shuang straightened her clothes and said, "Let's go, let's do something big."
