The young male took the bottle, his hands shaking slightly.

But he knew that this was his best opportunity. As long as he got rid of Claude this time and Michaela became the city lord, he could become his favorite.

So he suppressed the fear in his heart and said, "I will definitely complete the task."

As the spy slowly disappeared, Michaela's lips curled up into that sneer again.

Claude's stone house. The spy, relying on his familiarity with the environment, sneaked into the stone house which looked like a kitchen.

There was a bonfire burning in the stone house, and on top of the bonfire was a gray stone pot. Inside the pot was a pitch-black liquid, which was the medicine prescribed by the doctor for Claude.

The spy quickly poured the poison into the medicine that Claude was about to take, looked around, and left only after confirming that there was no one around.

However, at this moment, footsteps were heard outside.

The spy was startled and quickly hid in the dark. He held his breath and observed the movements of the person who came.

Sarah walked into the pharmacy with a serious face. He squatted in front of the stone pot and stirred the medicine in the pot with a wooden spoon.

The spy secretly thanked his lucky stars that the strong smell of the medicine in the room masked the smell on his body, so the other party did not notice him.

But he was too optimistic too early. Sarah did not leave easily. Instead, she stopped and sniffed the air with a frown.

The spy's heart was in his throat, fearing that he would be discovered.

Sarah began to examine the liquid medicine carefully.

Seeing this, the spy knew he could not wait any longer, so he took a deep breath and prepared to escape when Sarah was not paying attention.

But just as he took a step forward, Sarah turned back sharply and shouted, "Who's there?"

The spy was startled and slipped, accidentally hitting the wooden door with a loud noise.

Sarah quickly pounced on the spy, and after a fierce fight she finally subdued the spy to the ground.

He then escorted the spy directly to Claude.

Claude looked at the disheveled spy in front of him, a rare hint of coldness on his face.

He slowly asked, "Who instructed you to do this? What did you put in my medicine?"

The spy knew that it was useless to deny, so he had to confess, "Yes, it was Michaela. He asked me to poison your medicine. He wanted to poison you to death."

Claude's face darkened when he heard this, but he immediately regained his composure.

He had known that his second uncle had bad intentions, but he never expected that the other party would actually want to kill him.

He waved his hand to signal Sarah to take the spy away, and said, "Lock him up. I still have some use for him."

Soon news spread from the stone house that Claude was poisoned and seriously ill, and Michaela was overjoyed.

"Just one step." He was only one step away from taking the position of patriarch.

But at this critical juncture he cannot show up directly, so he can only secretly instigate the elders to come and put pressure on him.

Instigated by Michaela, the elders demanded that Claude hand over the city lord stone, claiming that they would re-select a more suitable male to be the city lord.

"Claude, you are no longer able to protect the people of Lion City in your current state. You should hand over the City Lord Stone and give the position of City Lord to someone more capable."

Claude was leaning against the wall on the bed in the stone house with a pale face. He glanced at the elders and his voice was weak but every word was clear.

"As long as I am alive, I will not hand over the City Lord Stone. As long as you can beat me, you can take it away."

After saying that, Claude released the aura of purple-level strength, which overwhelmed the green-level and blue-level elders present.

It was not until now that they realized that even though Claude was so weak, his purple-level strength was still there.

The elders did not dare to do anything more and found excuses to leave.

After this incident, Claude also saw which of these elders were his uncle Michaela's men.

So he began a plan to eliminate dissidents.

However, is Michaela someone who would give up easily?

Seeing that his attempt to force the emperor to abdicate failed, he came up with another plan. He secretly sent assassins to Mi Yue's stone house in an attempt to attack Claude by hurting her.

On a dark and windy night, a male approached Mi Yue's stone house quietly, but he was discovered before he got close to the stone house.

Shocker looked sharply at the male in front of him who was hiding his face with animal skins, and asked sternly: "Who are you?"

Mi Yue heard the noise in the house and opened the door. The male took the opportunity to show his sharp claws and pounce on her.

Mi Yue was so surprised that she had forgotten that she still had the system in her hand. She just stared blankly at the pair of sharp claws shining with white light coming towards her.

At this moment, Shocker stepped forward without hesitation and used his back to block the fatal blow for Mizuki.

The blood dyed red and flowed down Shuka's back to the ground, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Mi Yue's head was full of disbelief. She had not expected that Xiuka would risk his life so hard for her.

"Why are you doing this? Don't you like me? Why are you still protecting me!" Mi Yue's voice trembled and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Why!"

Shocker forced a smile, blood flowing down the corner of his mouth, "Because, you, you are my life, my everything, I will never let anything happen to you."

A warm feeling surged in Mi Yue's heart, but was immediately replaced by deeper worry.

[Host, the person being fed is in danger of death, please rescue him immediately! ]

[Host, the object of feeding, Xiu Ka, is in a state of rapid blood loss, please rescue him quickly! ]

[Host, the vital signs of the feeding target, Xiuka, are decreasing. The health bar has dropped to thirty percent, twenty, ten...]

The noise from the system hurt Mi Yue's ears, and she yelled, "Shut up and tell me how to save him!"

"You must have a way, right?"

【···】

"say!"

[Host, you can use the gold points to heal Xiuka and reshape his meridians, but the gold points can be used to exchange for life, so you need to choose carefully. ]

"Use gold points to heal Shocker." Mi Yue said without hesitation.

[Host, are you sure you want to use 20 gold points to heal Xiuka? ]

"determine."

As Mi Yue finished speaking, a golden light enveloped Shocker.

Soon, Shocker reshaped his meridians and regained his vitality.

Shuka slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of disbelief, but thinking about the strange conversation he heard before he fell into a coma, he was sure that it was Mi Yue who saved him.

"Yue, thank you for saving me." Although Shocker's voice was weak, it was full of sincere gratitude.

Mi Yue wiped her tears, her tone mixed with a little alienation, "No need to thank me, just consider it as repaying your life-saving grace."

She did not mention the fact that Shocker had ended their partnership with her because she had too many doubts and confusions in her heart.

Xiuka's heart tightened when he heard this.

He understood why Mi Yue's attitude was so cold, but he also knew clearly that now was not the time to explain everything.

While Mi Yue was using gold points to save Shocker, the assassin was already captured by Sarah who was hiding in the dark. At the same time, she asked the beast servant beside her to notify Claude.
