The moment he did, it hit him immediately. Even while covered by the veil of water, the burning sensation in his throat remained.
Definitely poison…this guy wants to kill me! Because I said I was a food inspector?
Regardless, Aren held it inside his mouth, trying to use his past knowledge of poisons to decipher which it was.
All the while, Shen stood by the table, satisfied. He hadn't even tried to hide the small grin on his face.
But still, he didn't leave.
Tch…this guy's thorough.
Without another choice, Aren enveloped the broth with more of his pure water ether before…swallowing.
Gulp…
The burning sensation grew. Ordinarily, it would spread throughout his body by now, slowly killing him from the inside.
However, due to the water ether enveloped around the cluster of broth, it remained within his body, just past the throat and barely into the stomach. Aren couldn't let any of it touch his other internal organs.
