Time Travel: Pampered by the Aloof Prince

Chapter 373: Chapter 373 This Place is Actually a Ghost City

However, Li Mingjue said, “The absence of poison doesn’t mean these dishes are safe to eat. It’s possible that these dishes are made from insects or something of the sort, and to our eyes, they look no different from normal vegetables.”

Hearing his words, Qi Yu looked at the dishes with visible disgust.

She put the lid back on and pushed the food box far away, not giving it another glance.

“How exactly are we supposed to escape this illusion?” she asked, furrowing her brows as she continued to ponder the question.

At first, he tried to use the women poisoned with the Poisonous Insect Poison to kill us, which did not succeed. Then, after we left the Imperial Palace, ‘people’ mysteriously appeared in the streets. If I’m not mistaken, every ‘person’ that appears in this city will seek an opportunity to kill us.”
