Chapter 2, A person of eccentricity must have eccentric friends

This general's son was unexpectedly poisoned by someone

Because such a thing is absolutely impossible to happen... However, it has indeed happened to me now

Those individuals exerted all their strength against themselves, ultimately leading to their own annihilation. However, they could never have imagined that the Laughing Monarch, whom they believed to be utterly destroyed and whose spirit they thought had perished, was, at this moment, still very much alive

Ye Xiao recalled that this fellow's behavior was indeed the result of certain circumstances. Earlier this year, he contracted a skin disease, causing a significant portion of his sparse yellow hair to fall out, leaving him with a strikingly noticeable bald head. Wearing a hat was also a reluctant choice

Lan Langlang, upon hearing this, shrank his neck and stepped through the door, still wearing a playful grin as he said: "I heard you were quite heroic last night? Drinking in a brothel, and you actually got so drunk that you lost all awareness of yourself... I admire you!"

The pain in her internal organs grew increasingly intense, and Ye Xiao gritted her teeth fiercely: at this moment, the only priority was to preserve her life, as everything else could be addressed later. Given the circumstances, she had no choice but to use the last remnants of her spiritual power to suppress the deadly poison for the time being

The poison of the Qingming fruit may not be considered a particularly sophisticated toxin in Ye Xiao's eyes; however, it is a poison from the Celestial Domain. In this mundane world, there is simply no medicine capable of counteracting the poison of the Qingming fruit

He is indeed a general who loves his soldiers as if they were his own children

If the monarch survives a great calamity, only to ultimately be brought to an end by a mere Qingming fruit, that would indeed be a tremendous joke

The unfortunate Young Master Ye spent last night drinking and reveling in a brothel with several young rascals. Upon returning home, he suddenly experienced severe abdominal pain and passed away.

These medicines... I have never heard of them before. The steward humbly replied, "Young master, I know quite a bit about the herbs on this continent, and I have also read the Compendium of Materia Medica, but these few herbs... Ice Mystic Fruit, Fire Spirit Grass, Phoenix Feather Flower... I have never heard of them before. Where did you obtain this recipe?"

At the thought of this, Ye Xiao almost clutched her head in pain

At this moment, it is in the General's Mansion of the City of Chenxing in the Chen Empire that the scene unfolds

At this moment, General Lan was recounting his dream from the previous night when he suddenly heard the news of a birth. In a moment of excitement, his stutter flared up, and he opened his mouth to say: "... um, wave... wave... wave wave..."

"Young Master, Young Master Lan has come to pay a visit," the guard reported as he entered.

This is truly frustrating

Ye Xiao spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face as pale as death

In an instant, he discerned what kind of poison it was. Ye Xiao was dismissive, but suddenly felt darkness enveloping him. Realizing that the toxicity had erupted once more, he hurriedly attempted to mobilize his spiritual energy to expel the poison, only to be astonished to find his body completely devoid of it. It was then that he remembered that the current 'Ye Xiao' was no longer the esteemed Lord Xiao of his past life. Now, he was merely a debauched young master from a general's family. Although it seemed he had practiced some profound arts, there was no spiritual energy available to him.

What is it? What's going on?

I wondered how this bastard could have suddenly died... It turned out he had been poisoned... The experience and wisdom of the monarch were so rich and profound that he instantly understood what had happened to his body. However, understanding was one thing, and the impact on his body was another. The intense pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead

Ye Xiao sat cross-legged, gritted his teeth, and channeled his spiritual power, instantly locating the source of the poison, and pressed down forcefully...

Ye Xiaoxun's expression darkened instantly, and he exclaimed angrily: "You idiot, Lan Langlang, if you call me 'Xiaoxiao' one more time, I will beat you to death!"

"Butler, please prepare these medicines for me." Ye Xiao held a prescription in hand, which he had just written himself. For the knowledgeable and talented Lord Xiao, finding a way to neutralize the poison of the 'mere Qingming fruit' was possible even without using spiritual power to dispel the toxin.

"Alright, alright, I was just joking..." Ye Xiao sighed and said, "You go ahead and take care of your business."

Ye Xiao was lost in thought when suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, a torment akin to her liver being torn apart

... ...

Moreover, this is clearly something that is only circulated in the Celestial Realm... How did it come to this place? It seems that the person who poisoned me must have some... connections to that realm?" A sharp, cold light flashed in Ye Xiao's eyes

At that moment, the monarch of laughter, Ye Xiao, coincidentally had a fragment of true spirit that had not yet dissipated, which fortuitously entered his body

The place where I currently find myself is indeed the Cold Sun Continent... Yes, it is the so-called secular world often mentioned in the Azure Cloud Heavenly Domain of my previous life

These two individuals are both the sons of generals, and their fathers are often away from home. Under the shared experience of their circumstances, they naturally come together to associate with each other, making them typical "close friends." However, Lan Langlang's family still has his mother and several concubines to manage him. Although he is also a debauched young man living off others, his behavior is not excessively outrageous. Overall, compared to the previous "Ye Xiao," he is somewhat better, but still quite limited.

It just occurred to me that all these medicines are materials from the Qingyun Heavenly Domain; they should not exist in this mundane world

Moreover, there are many individuals who, despite their fierce demeanor, bear other disabilities.

Yet I dreamt of a boat sailing on the sea, amidst raging waves. My family said: "It is a young master, please bestow a name upon him, General"

Ye Xiao was filled with resentment, muttering with a crooked mouth: "Right now, I am like a man who has entered a brothel holding mountains of gold and silver; I have wealth and beautiful women, yet I am, in essence, a eunuch serving the emperor... Such extreme frustration happening to me, what is there to laugh about? I might as well change my name to 'Unlucky Fellow'..."

Lan Lang Lang laughed heartily: "With that rundown place of yours, do you really need a spy..."

Ye Xiao sighed, damn it, the previous owner of this body was a peculiar person, and coincidentally, the friends they associated with were also quite eccentric

I roughly understand the situation before me... No, I still don't understand..." Ye Xiao furrowed his brows, rubbing his temples: "I clearly felt my soul scatter, with absolutely no possibility of survival. How could I not be dead and end up in this body? It's hard to imagine...

It is merely the poison of the Qingming fruit ... hum

Damn it! This is the last bit of spiritual power... and it was actually used to suppress the deadly poison. Now I truly feel powerless, never expected that I, Ye Xiao, would have such a wretched day..." Ye Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and thought: "The urgent task at hand is to eliminate the deadly poison within my body! Otherwise, in a few days, even my corpse will start to stink... what can I say about seeking revenge then..."

This is Ye Xiao's first recognition of her cheap father

However, as long as one is alive, there is hope... As long as one cultivates properly, with my own experience forged through countless trials, I believe it won't be long before I, Ye Xiao, become the peak Monarch of Laughter from my previous life again. Three major sects, wait for me, I will definitely return!

It seems that the person who poisoned me is intent on putting me to death. However, this situation has truly become troublesome. If there is no antidote and I cannot ascend now, am I not left with no choice but to wait for death?

Puff!

Thus, the steward turned around to report: "The General said... the young master is called Langlang..."

This body ... ... is actually someone else's body

It appears that General Ye has arranged for many injured and disabled soldiers to stay in his residence

This ... ... young master ... ... these medicines of yours ... ... '' The steward glanced at the prescription, his lips twitched slightly, he scratched his head, looking utterly perplexed

Moreover, the name of this Lan Langlang carries quite a bit of historical significance

Young Master Lan? Ye Xiao was momentarily taken aback before recalling. This Young Master Lan, Lan Langlang, is the son of another great general of our dynasty—General Lan; both General Lan and his own father, General Ye, are commanding generals, but while he is stationed in the south, his father is in the north, standing in stark contrast to each other.

The usually composed Ye Xiao was taken aback this time, his mouth agape. He truly did not expect that such a bizarre and unfathomable event would occur to him!

Uh..." Ye Xiao suddenly slapped his forehead

After all, the difference between "wave" and "waves" is as different as north is from south, and as far apart as heaven is from earth

Ye Xiao quickly walked into General Ye's study

In this half a day, Ye Xiao has also come to realize that his general's residence is indeed quite peculiar

Indeed. Ye Xiao sighed.

However, while this poison can certainly kill General's son Ye Xiao, it is a different matter for the monarch Ye Xiao of the Laughing Kingdom

In the midst of their conversation, Ye Xiao finally took a formal look at his close friend before him. Although this Lan Langlang was born into a family of privilege, he was as thin as a rake. The already tight robe he wore made a rustling sound as he walked; it seemed he could hardly spare two taels of flesh from his entire body. His eyebrows were arched, his nose slightly flat, and his lips curled upwards. His two eyes, with their dark pupils, strained to come together, resulting in a natural cross-eyed appearance. The rustling sound continued as he walked; it seemed he could hardly spare two taels of flesh from his entire body. His eyebrows were arched, his nose slightly flat, and his lips curled upwards. His two eyes, with their dark pupils, strained to come together, resulting in a natural cross-eyed appearance.

Complaints are merely complaints, but solutions still need to be sought

Ye Xiao gritted her teeth, her eyes radiating a sharp light

On such a hot day, one surprisingly wears a large hat

Ye Xiao snorted and rolled her eyes, saying, "How come you have such well-informed news? Have you planted a spy in my house?"

Despite his extensive knowledge and experience, he still does not understand what is going on

However, fortunately, although the body belongs to someone else, it is still the body of "Ye Xiao"

However, being a rich second generation does feel quite enjoyable. Not only is there an endless supply of money, but there are also people specifically running errands... Looking at the butler coming at his command, Ye Xiao unexpectedly felt a bit of relief in his mood

While browsing through several illustrated compendiums of materia medica, one encounters various strange phenomena and peculiar objects, as well as pharmacological and toxicological insights

"Xiao Xiao, I heard you got flipped over last night?" Before Lan Langlang even entered the door, his peculiar voice, reminiscent of a duck, could be heard from afar: "Hahaha... Luckily, I left early last night... Otherwise, I would have been led astray by you bunch of wastrels..."

The butler scratched his head, utterly perplexed as he took his leave. What madness had his young master unleashed today? He actually asked him to fetch medicine? Did this young man think that merely writing down a few strange and unusual names would make him appear learned? ... Truly ... . ... It was beyond words.

One day, I will definitely give you all a surprise

At this moment, although I have taken over this body, the deadly poison within it still exists and continues to possess the power to kill.

Thus, Lan Langlang acquired its name and also gained fame

Encountering such a situation is truly exasperating, possessing a wealth of cultivation experience and a mind full of top-tier techniques... yet at this moment, none of it can be utilized, and I am unable to cultivate at all

The original owner of this body, coincidentally, is also named Ye Xiao. He is the son of General Ye Nantian of the Northern Town in the Chen Empire of the Hanyang Continent.

It is said that General Lan had a stuttering problem since childhood. On the day Lan Langlang was born, General Lan returned home, exhausted from the journey, and slept the entire way.

In the entire courtyard, there was not a single woman present, not even a maid, servant, or old nurse; all that came and went were strong men.
