Chu Le'er was filled with indignation: Now that I am alive, why can’t I live out my own style? Do what I desire the most? Why should I be bound by anything?
Praising me naturally makes me happy, but scolding me is irrelevant. You scold your way, and I kill my way.
As long as my brother, my father, and my mother do not scold me...
Isn’t that enough?
To live is to be unrestrained! To be carefree! To be boundless! To do as I please! To do whatever I want!
Only then can I not waste this wonderful life and youthful years!
Wuzhuo City began its second phase of teaching disciples.
“Le'er, look at how wastefully you are using poison; you must know that poisons are a gift from heaven, and each type of poison has its unique value. Therefore, we cannot use them recklessly.”
“What do you mean, Master?”
“Our use of poison must be precise, not a fraction more, not a fraction less; just enough to kill someone, but not wasteful… For example, if you can kill a chicken with one tael of grass poison, then using two taels would be a waste, wouldn’t it? This requires careful calculation.”
“I see.”
“Using poison involves many stages. The first stage: just kill someone with poison, any kind can do. This is the most basic… because you still cannot control the toxicity. The second stage is precision, depending on the person. The third stage involves using poison that can only kill those on the throne, but trying to kill those at the saint level. This is a discipline… It relates to physique, cultivation techniques, environment, mindset, and so on… As for the fourth stage, it involves using highly nourishing medicine to kill someone… Hmm; by the fifth stage, one can switch roles at any time. That is, I can use poison meant to kill to save, and use medicine meant to save to kill. At that time, one would be both a divine doctor and a poison saint, which is when one truly enters the door. Like your master!”
“You are currently at the first stage; you must hurry to advance to the second stage!”
“Depending on what kind of person you are dealing with, use the appropriate medicine. For instance, against someone on the throne, a three-color poison would suffice to send him to heaven, but you used Shadowless Poison, which can kill at the saint level; this… is too wasteful, and it raises him too much… Dying from such high-level poison is too kind! It’s like catching a duck from the lower realms to kill it at the Nine Heavens Pavilion. That elevates him too much!”
“What do you mean, Master…”
“As the saying goes, one should match the bird to the person; what kind of person uses what kind of poison. There must be a match. This is beneficial for controlling poison arts, preventing chaos…”
“Mm, I understand, Master…”
“That’s good. For example, when it comes to brothels, a talented romantic and a common vendor certainly do not go to the same place… Ahem, I misspoke… Actually, I have never been to such places…”
“Mm, disciple believes Master absolutely does not go… ever!”
Wuzhuo City covered her face, crying tears of laughter.
“To be honest in handling matters!” said poison doctor Wuzhuo City solemnly: “Therefore, if you kill someone, you must reveal your name! If so, you will have no regrets!”
“Correct! This young lady does not change her name or surname, I am Chu Le'er!” Chu Le'er said.
“Not good!” Wuzhuo City frowned: “The three characters Chu Le'er lack momentum. In the martial arts world, everyone has a loud nickname… This needs to be planned well.”
“Mm, what Master says is true; let us discuss it.”
The master and disciple immersed themselves in research for a long time, and after rejecting countless nicknames, a satisfying one finally emerged.
Once this nickname appeared, due to Chu Le'er’s desire for fame, it immediately swept through the north and south of Qinghe, along the banks of the Great River!
Lady of Heavenly Poison!

As they traveled, there was a wave of blood and gore.
