BTTH: Breaking The Simulation

"See, I told you it was delicious!"

Seeing Xiao Feng's appreciation, Xiao Yixian's smile grew even brighter as she began enjoying the meat-filled rice ball in her hand.

"Hmm?"

As soon as Xiao Yixian took her first bite, her expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of confusion.

Why did this meat-filled rice ball taste different from the usual ones?

The maid, who had been secretly observing Xiao Yixian, noticed her unusual expression and felt her heart leap to her throat.

Because Mu Li fancied Xiao Yixian, he had secretly bribed her personal maid to gain insight into her daily life and preferences.

To separate Xiao Yixian from Xiao Feng, Mu Li had secretly handed the maid a packet of laxatives to mix into the rice balls.

Even if Xiao Yixian wanted to protect Xiao Feng, she wouldn't be able to keep him by her side while dealing with diarrhea, giving Mu Li the chance to kill and steal from him.

Perhaps due to the influence of her poisonous body constitution, Xiao Yixian found poisons to be quite delicious. So, she thought the rice balls with laxatives tasted better than usual.

Unaware of her maid's betrayal, Xiao Yixian assumed her culinary skills had improved.

Seeing that Xiao Yixian didn't suspect anything, the maid secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began eating the untainted rice balls.

More than half an hour later, seeing the two still chatting and laughing, Mu Li frowned and cast a questioning glance at Xiao Yixian's maid.

Did you give them the laxatives or not?

The maid, fully understanding Mu Li's meaning, nodded innocently.

She was just as confused. She had indeed put a sufficient amount of laxatives in the rice balls.

Why didn't Xiao Feng and Xiao Yixian seem affected at all?

Could they both be immune to laxatives?

Just as Mu Li was contemplating another plan, Xiao Yixian's face turned slightly red. She whispered something to her maid and then left with her.

Nature calls! Although Xiao Yixian could resist the harmful effects of the laxatives, she had drunk a lot of water while eating the rice balls and needed to relieve herself.

Watching them leave, both Xiao Feng and Mu Li sighed in relief, glad that the obstacle had left.

After turning his gaze away from Xiao Yixian's waist, Xiao Feng looked in Mu Li's direction, catching his eye.

"..."

Both were momentarily stunned but then smiled at each other with hidden intentions.

In Mu Li's eyes, Xiao Feng suddenly clutched his stomach, grimacing as he hurried into the nearby woods.

Mu Li, thinking the laxatives had finally taken effect, quickly followed with four trusted subordinates.

Some mercenaries noticed their actions but didn't dare intervene due to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's intimidating presence. Most of the mercenaries present were from the Wolf Head Group, and they were far more powerful than regular mercenaries.

Mu Li's four subordinates were all seven-star Dou Practitioners, so Xiao Feng seemed to be in grave danger.

"Huh? Where did that guy go?"

After traversing several meters in the forest without finding Xiao Feng, Mu Li's expression darkened.

Did he sense something and escape? Damn! The cooked duck has flown away!

"Mu Li, are you here to relieve yourself?"

Just as Mu Li was getting frustrated, a playful voice suddenly called out.

Mu Li and his men looked up to see Xiao Feng standing on a tree not far away, holding a white porcelain bottle.

"Kill him!"

Mu Li, no longer bothering to hide his intentions, immediately ordered his men to attack Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng, seeing their actions, raised three fingers and said, "Three, two, one, collapse!"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The four middle-aged mercenaries, just as they reached Xiao Feng, started coughing violently, their limbs weakening as they collapsed.

"What did you do...cough, cough..."

Mu Li's face changed dramatically as he tried to question Xiao Feng, but before he could finish, his eyes burned, and he began to cough uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face.

"This is called 'Sorrowful Breeze,' made by refining dozens of poisons into water. When the bottle is opened, the poisonous water evaporates into the air, becoming an invisible, scentless breeze that even the sharpest person can't detect."

Xiao Feng leaped down from the tree, walking leisurely to Mu Li. "Mu Li, I always believe in 'don't offend me, and I won't offend you. If you do, I will retaliate fiercely.' Since you planned to kill me and take my treasures, it's only fair that you're now at my mercy."

"No! You can't kill me! If you do, my father will..."

"Please, rest in peace."

Xiao Feng cut off Mu Li's words, releasing five half-meter-long blue wind blades, beheading them without mercy.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yixian, who had just returned, noticed both Xiao Feng and Mu Li were gone, her face turning dark.

Cursing inwardly, she thought, "Is that idiot deaf? I told him to stay put!"

In normal circumstances, Mu Li wouldn't dare act against Xiao Feng in front of everyone. But now that Xiao Feng was out of sight, Mu Li could blame his death on a mythical beast, and even the Xiao family couldn't hold him accountable without evidence.

What a stubborn fool! Xiao Feng, are you a pig? You pig teammate!

"Rustle, rustle..."

Just as Xiao Yixian was getting angrier, Xiao Feng emerged from the bushes.

"..."

Seeing Xiao Feng unharmed, the surroundings fell silent, with only the occasional crackling of the campfire.

Xiao Yixian scrutinized Xiao Feng, incredulous. "You...you're fine?"

Xiao Feng feigned confusion, "I just went to take a leak. What could have happened?"
