MRS. AND MR. SMITH - Season 9 Episode 74

Ethan Smith had heard of this kind of poison before.

Once infected with Spring Poison, an unbearably intense heat would plague your body.

The way to neutralize this toxin is extraordinarily harsh, almost no method except engaging in sexual intercourse existed.

If the Spring Poison isn’t removed promptly, it could potentially cause permanent damage to the body.

What Ethan Smith couldn’t figure out was, why would he contract this poison at this time? And who would be the culprit?

“Strange.” Facing Violet Russell who was clinging onto him, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but frown.

…

“Could it be Victor and his gang who poisoned her?”

After much thought, that was the only possibility.

They might have poisoned Violet Russell long ago, just choosing to let it break out at this moment.

At this moment, Violet Russell was nearly ripping her clothes off.

Her fingers, smooth as scallion, constantly brushed against Ethan Smith’s body.

Ethan Smith, being a young man full of vitality, found it challenging to remain calm in front of such temptation.

“I’m so hot… Please help me…”

Violet Russell nudged her face closer to Ethan Smith’s, opened her mouth and lunged for his lips.

In this critical moment, Ethan Smith pushed Violet Russell away.

He abruptly jumped into the snow, using the bone-chilling cold snow to regain his sobriety.

After several minutes, Ethan Smith crawled out of the snow.

Looking at the pained Violet Russell, he shook his head, “I’m sorry. I can’t bring myself to betray Emily.”

Any thoughts which crossed Ethan Smith’s mind that hinted at the betrayal of Emily Taylor seemed unfair to her.

“I’m so hot… please save me…” Violet Russell pleaded desperately, reaching out to grip Ethan Smith’s thigh.

Ethan Smith took a deep breath, with his palm, he sharply patted Violet Russell’s back.

Violet Russell immediately passed out, her consciousness collapsed.

Her body was still being influenced by the toxin.

Her originally pale skin, now looked somewhat dark red.

Ethan Smith shook his head, “I’m sorry. If you can’t hold on, I will have to end your misery.”

If overheard by outsiders, Ethan Smith would undoubtedly be considered heartless.

However, during this long cultivation journey, his heart had hardened. Apart from Emily Taylor, he could live without everything else.

Violet Russell lay on the ground, Ethan Smith quietly accompanying her.

After an indeterminable amount of time, Violet Russell gradually woke up.

The toxin in her body has already disappeared, but at the moment she opened her eyes, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her whole body appeared incredibly weak.

“You’re awake.” Ethan Smith glanced at her, speaking flatly.

Although Violet Russell was infected by the Spring Poison, she clearly remembered everything before her unconsciousness.

Therefore, in her eyes, there was a subtle resentment towards Ethan Smith.

“Would you rather watch me die than help me? Don’t tell me I am ugly?” said Violet Russell indignantly.

Ethan Smith shook his head, “It has nothing to do with appearances, I am just not interested in you.”

“You!” Violet Russell pointed at Ethan Smith, and spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, her face turning paler.

Clearly, it was the aftereffect caused by the Spring Poison.

“Don’t blame me for this, blame the one who poisoned you,” said Ethan Smith, like an emotionless machine.

Violet Russell glared fiercely at Ethan Smith, “Ethan Smith, you’re worse than a beast!”

Ethan Smith spread his hands, “I will ask the Pavilion Master to help you remove the toxins.”

Afterwards, Ethan Smith stood up from the ground, “Let’s go, take me out of here.”

Even though Violet Russell held a grudge against Ethan Smith, she still guided him away from this bitterly cold place.

After they reached the airport, the duo bought plane tickets and prepared to return to Capital City.

On the journey, Ethan Smith leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Unable to resist, Violet Russell said, “Don’t you have any interest in me at all?”

“Not at all.” Ethan Smith answered without hesitation.

“You!” Violet Russell was immediately irritated.

For some reason, the more Ethan Smith behaved like this, the more she felt unwilling to give up.

On the contrary, if Ethan Smith coveted her body, she would feel disgusted.

People, are indeed contradictory.

…

The plane soared through the sky and soon returned to Capital City.

Ethan Smith’s journey took just three days, and he arrived in Capital City just in time for New Year’s.

“You can go to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion first.” Ethan Smith glanced at Violet Russell.

“Once you get to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, mention my name, the Pavilion Master will help you.”

Violet Russell humphed and said, “Now you’re playing the good guy.”

Ethan Smith didn’t have time to argue with her, he quickly explained a couple of things, then headed straight for Ignacio Burke’s house.

It was New Year’s Eve and, from time to time, fireworks could be heard.

But Ignacio Burke’s front door was desolate and dark.

Apart from his all-terrain vehicle, there was almost nothing else, a sharp contrast to the festive atmosphere outside.

When Ethan Smith arrived, Ignacio Burke was wearing a military coat, smoking in front of the window.

He was looking out the window, lost in thought.

“Commander Burke, why are you spending New Year’s alone?” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but ask.

Ignacio Burke glanced at Ethan Smith and instead of addressing the question, he asked, “Why are you here?”

Ethan Smith chuckled, “I’m here to report my work to you.”

“Oh?” Ignacio Burke raised his eyebrow.

“In just three days, you’ve finished?”

Ethan Smith shook his head, “That would be impossible to finish off three organizations, I don’t have that much time.”

Ignacio Burke’s eyes narrowed, he furrowed his brow and said, “So then?”

Ethan Smith pulled out his phone, played a video, and handed it to Ignacio Burke.

“But the Ice Palace has already been destroyed,” Ethan Smith said.

Looking at the content on the phone, Ignacio Burke couldn’t help raising his eyebrows.

“You’re saying… the Palace Master of the Ice Palace was about to step into the Martial Saint Realm?” Ignacio Burke stared at the content of the video, his brows furrowing deeply.

“Correct,” Ethan Smith nodded.

“I stopped him before he entered the Martial Saint Realm, that counts as meritorious service, right?”

Ignacio Burke ignored Ethan’s words, his forehead was full of worry.

“Someone actually almost stepped into the Martial Saint Realm, this isn’t good news…” Ignacio Burke muttered under his breath.

Ethan Smith plopped down on Ignacio Burke’s sofa and grinned, “Commander Burke, you should understand better than me, what would happen once someone attains power far superior to most people.”

Ignacio Burke glanced at Ethan Smith and asked, “What do you mean?”

“If he had successfully entered the Martial Saint Realm, do you think you could still catch him?” Ethan Smith said.

Ignacio Burke stayed silent. Just as Ethan Smith pointed out, once the Palace Master of the Ice Palace had entered the Martial Saint Realm, it was likely that no one could restrict him.

“He won’t be the only one entering the Martial Saint Realm,” Ethan Smith continued.

“By that time, the Martial Saint of the Capital City Martial Arts Association will also appear, I believe this isn’t something you’d want to see.”

Ignacio Burke put his phone aside. He took a puff of his cigarette and said: “What are you trying to say?”

“What I’m saying is, you should be helping me now, helping me enter the Martial Saint Realm as quickly as possible to restrict them.” Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow confidently.
