195 Sweetheart, You’ve Got Guts (2/2)

”Master, earlier you said that you’d be giving me two options - what’s the other one?”

”The second option is simple, if you don’t follow me obediently, you can try all you can to fight. I’ll knock you out and bring you back, and then start running the tests the very next day.”

Freak! This clearly left her with solely one choice.

Fortunately, she came out with the third option herself…

She sighed, stood up and said, ”Basically, my three fishes could only get me three days of buffer period in return. It seems like I can only choose the first option…”

”Brilliant! Let’s go back now, it’s getting late…” Di Fuyi stood up. Right when he was about to do something, he staggered to his feet all of a sudden, with his large body swaying a little.

”Yeah, what’s wrong with you? Are you drunk?” asked Gu Xijiu, pretending to care.

Di Fuyi looked up at her with a sharp look. The weight of the silence in the surroundings was becoming unbearable.

Gu Xijiu was close by. She had been watching him, completely at ease, while holding the iron pot that was used to cook fish.

Di Fuyi smiled a little, ”Sweetheart, you’ve got guts, how dare you poison me!”

The tone of his voice was as soft as the wind, and yet so suffocating as though a huge thunderstorm was about to make its landfall, thus insinuating fear.

Gu Xijiu, with her eyes sharp and bright, was not going to deny the accusations, ”Sorry”.

Di Fuyi swayed a little again, with his face turning green; the poison was obviously starting to take effect.

Strange! ”The drink was mine, the fish was not poisonous, so when did you put the poison in?” He asked in bewilderment.

Gu Xijiu laughed, with a softened voice she said, ”Neither the fish nor the drink was poisonous. You can take a guess at the kind of poison that was in it. I'm sure you can guess well since you're so wise.”

Di Fuyi was speechless. He shifted a little as if he was about to do something, but his legs were so weak that he fell back into his chair. He looked at her and smiled faintly, ”Sweetheart, you’ve poisoned me twice!”
