I Am Born With A Silver Spoon
Chapter 575 Starving People Shall Fill the Land as Your Family Dies Out

Chen Hao's nose was extremely sensitive. That was because he had already smelt a certain kind of gas.

This gas was extremely poisonous.

It would corrode a person's insides.

As expected, Gu Yuxiao had barely walked a few steps before feeling incredibly dizzy.

Not long after, she collapsed.

Chen Hao rushed over and immediately sealed the vital points on Gu Yuxiao's body.

"I can't breathe!" Gu Yuxiao's face was getting paler by the second.

"Luckily, you didn't breathe a lot of it in. Right now, you have to hold your breath and stop talking. The air around us has been poisoned. Someone is releasing this poison gas from outside!" Chen Hao told her hurriedly.

At the same time, he took a deep breath of this gas. In just a few seconds, Chen Hao had already roughly dissected the ingredients of this poison gas.

What a joke. Chen Hao had already grown immune to some poisons a year prior, let alone right now.

This situation was exactly the same as if Chen Hao had accidentally spilled a bottle of vinegar while being surrounded by fresh air.

There had to be someone outside causing trouble!

Chen Hao looked at Gu Yuxiao lying in his arms.

She still knew some secrets about the Sea Palace, so he had to make sure she was alive.

Apart from that, from the moment Chen Hao saw her, he felt as if she had eyes similar to those of Su Tongxin's.

This sort of natural familiarity caused Chen Hao to want to save her.

To be fair, even if she was a complete stranger, Chen Hao would also not leave her alone.

Currently, her eyes were filled with tears, and her face was red from holding her breath.

However, the green clouds of poison gas were increasing.

"You don't know the Breath-holding Technique?" Chen Hao asked.

Gu Yuxiao nodded heavily.

"Then I apologize in advance. You must come out of this alive, so please don't blame me!"

Chen Hao took a deep breath, cleansing the air in his lungs of poison gas. Then, he kissed Gu Yuxiao directly on the mouth.

Gu Yuxiao widened her eyes, wanting to retaliate. However, she was just too weak.

Just like that, Chen Hao constantly gave Gu Yuxiao air to breathe as the two of them walked out together.

Chen Hao wanted to see who was releasing this sort of poison gas.

It couldn't be targeted toward Gu Yuxiao. It had to be for him. They could get out through the tunnels above them, but Chen Hao did not know where the opening of the tunnel was!

"Uncle Ming, you released a lot of gas! Even if Chen Hao was built like a god, he wouldn't be able to walk out alive!" A young son of the Ming family standing near the mountain laughed as he spoke. The cave had been sealed.

There was only one device at the entrance that constantly blew gusts of poison gas in.

"Of course! This is the Thousand Years Poisonous Fog, after all. Even if he was a god, he still would not be able to survive!" a middle-aged man said with a sinister smile, his back facing the cave.

"I really want to go in and take a look. I want to know if Chen Hao has already rotted!" The younger generation laughed.

"You don't want to live anymore, do you? Even if you breathe in just a hint of this fog, your innards will start to corrode. Do you all understand the backstory of our Ming Family's Thousand Year Poisonous Fog?" the middle-aged man said happily.

He seemed like a teacher who was teaching a group of wailing students.

"We don't, Uncle Ming. Please educate us!"

"Alright, then I'll explain to you all."

Uncle Ming cleared his throat, clearly in a good mood. However, just as he did so, the younger generation before him started to widen their eyes.

They were behaving as if they had seen something extremely terrifying, and they were all gulping in terror, their faces white with fear.

"Are you all okay? Did you all get scared by my story?" the middle-aged man said as he laughed.

"Uncle Ming, b-behind you!" The younger generation pointed behind him in terror.

"Excuse me!" Without waiting for the middle-aged man to react, Chen Hao had kicked away the fog machine in front of the cave while holding onto Gu Yuxiao.

Then, he patted the shoulder of the middle-aged man, who was standing in the way of the cave entrance.

When the middle-aged man turned back, he turned pale with fear.

"Chen-Young Master Chen!" He was extremely startled, and his eyeballs almost popped out of his head.

By right, Chen Hao should have become a puddle of rotten flesh by now. After ten days, the Ming Family would go in and cover up his corpse!

At the same time, the Ming Family would have attempted to take over some of Chen Hao's assets.

But to think that he hadn't died?

This was the Thousand Years Poisonous Fog! One thousand years!

Chen Hao didn't bother about these stunned people. First, he placed Gu Yuxiao, who had fainted, in a shadier area to allow her to rest quietly.

After that, he walked over to take a look at the device he had kicked over.

"What is this? Whatever could you all be so busy with?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.

"Y-Young Master Chen, we were w-worried that there wasn't enough oxygen in the cave!" The middle-aged man was sweating buckets. He felt as if his underarms were drenched and warm, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

"This is poison gas, right? It kills people through poisoning them. With just one breath, their insides will corrode! You prepared so much, too, and released it all inside. Are you this generous?" Chen Hao walked over and turned off the device.

"Young Master Chen! It was a misunderstanding. Everything was a misunderstanding!"

Thump. The middle-aged man straightaway knelt down.

Slap!

Chen Hao slapped that man in the face.

His teeth spurted out from between his lips, clattering on the floor.

"If I didn't have this special body, then you lot would have assassinated me just like that!" Chen Hao changed his expression instantly and yelled in anger.

This poisonous fog was extremely deadly, and even someone as powerful as Mo Canglong would die if they breathed in too much of it!

The Ming Family really were ruthless.

"Please, forgive us. Young Master Chen, please forgive us!"

The middle-aged man had a severe lisp now. He was crying, and the snot from his nostrils was running freely into his mouth.

"I'll forgive you all, sure. I'll throw all of you in and see if you can come out alive!"

Chen Hao lifted his leg and kicked the middle-aged man into the cave as if he were kicking a ball.

As for the younger generation, they received the same treatment.

After a while, their horrified screams stopped sounding out from the cave.

Then, Chen Hao picked up Gu Yuxiao in one hand, then picked up the can of Thousand Years Poisonous Fog in the other.

After that, he walked straight to the Ming Family's manor.

It was lively in the Ming Family's manor at this moment.

Everyone had gathered in the main hall.

The Old Master of the Ming Family was aglow. When he heard that Chen Hao had not stepped foot out of that cave until now, his wrinkles all bunched together like a walnut as he smiled widely. "Today is a very good day for the Ming Family! Our largest rival has been defeated, which means our luck is turning for the better!" the Old Master of the Ming Family said.

"Chen Hao was a young lad. However, he was brainless! He might have been extremely powerful, but he was way too young!" He laughed bitterly.

"Old Master is still the best. We beat Chen Hao at his own game and killed him! We finally got rid of our family's troubles!"

"Tonight, we must hold a large party to celebrate our actions today!"

Everyone was extremely happy.

"However, we just don't know how Ming Zhu and Ming Yi's meeting with the Master Ghost went. Looking at the time, they should be back by now!" Ming Zuotang said. Right as they were discussing this, a servant called out, "Master, Ming Yi and Ming Zhu have returned!"

Then, they saw Ming Yi and Ming Zhu run in hurriedly from the courtyard.

"Grandpa!" the two of them yelled, looking extremely panicked.

"How was it? What did he predict for us?"

"Master Ghost said that he only gave us the first part of the sentence instead of the full sentence that year to lessen the trouble. But now, he has given us the second part of the sentence!" Ming Zhu said, crying.

"What is it? Give it to me!"

Ming Zuotang took the piece of paper and saw the words: A comedown will fall upon your family if morals and kindness are neglected, and starving people shall fill the land as your family dies out!
