Chapter 347 (2/2)
The moment Ling Tian turned his eyes away, Shui QianRou's eyes twinkled and she seemed to be beaming with radiance again. She then nodded and said slowly, ”Alright! I will eat it!”
As these words left her lips, the other three people in the room looked at her with shock. Even Ling Tian never expected her to be so resolute.
Shui QianRou then picked up a pill with a mournful smile and studied it for a moment before placing it in her mouth calmly. After sucking on it for a moment as though she was tasting it, she swallowed it without hesitation.
”Princess!” Die'er cried out in shock.
Ling Tian felt his heart tremble; that heartbreaking gaze, mournful smile… at this moment, Ling Tian suddenly felt that Shui QianRou didn't consume the poison because she desired freedom! Then what was the reason? Could there be something he missed?!
”While Die'er is a servant, I am willing to go through life and death with the princess!” Tears flowed down her cheeks and she swallowed another pill resolutely. After swallowing the pill, she plunged into Shui QianRou's embrace and burst out crying. She could feel the pain and heartbreak Shui QianRou felt when she accepted such a condition. She wasn't lamenting her fate but lamenting the fact that her own beloved man would deal with her using such means!
Ling Tian then stood up and said coldly, ”Three days later, the medicinal effect will spread across your bodies and the both of you will feel as though your whole body is on fire. A red mark will then appear on your inner cores, but it will fade away after a few days. I will give the both of you a single month to find anyone to cure the poison! If both of you think that it is impossible to cure the poison, then I hope that the Ling and Shui Family can form a temporary alliance. As for the person in charge of our correspondence, I hope that it will be Miss Shui and not anyone else.” Ling Tian stood up and walked to the door. When he was about to leave the room, he suddenly stopped and said to Shui QianRou, ”From now on, both of you can leave if you wish.” As he said that, he walked away without turning back.
”Ling Tian.” Shui QianRou's voice sounded behind him, ”I am very disappointed in you.” Her words were filled with thick resentment and disappointment!
”Likewise!” Ling Tian paused for a moment before replying.
Ling Chen asked with doubt, ”Young n.o.ble, why haven't I heard young n.o.ble mention that weird poison before? You didn't feed this pill to XiMen Qing, right?” In truth, Ling Chen felt that something was wrong the moment Ling Tian took out the bottle. However, she also knew what not to say and what kind of expression she should make to coordinate with Ling Tian.
”Ah ah, of course you haven't heard of it before,” Ling Tian said. ”That was a secondary pill I made when experimenting with the Great Cyclic Pellet.”
”Then young n.o.ble, that pill should be…” Ling Chen blinking her eyes.
”Mmm, not only is there no poison, it is extremely beneficial to a lady's body.” Ling Tian blinking his eyes, ”Before I came here, I added a few more herbs to it including a deer's antler, a deer's womb…” He then whispered into Ling Chen's ears, ”It is said that it can make the few days of the month not so painful for a woman.”
”You! Annoying!” Ling Chen's face turned red as she whined with embarra.s.sment, anger, and happiness. ”Then why did you still say that a red mark will appear after consuming it?”
Ling Tian then said with a mysterious smile, ”That is because I added another herb called the blood toad gravel. This blood toad gravel has a special function. If it is dripped on the body of a virgin, it will not fall off even in death. It is called the 'Chast.i.ty Protecting Sand' but is different from an ordinary Chast.i.ty Protecting Sand. After consuming it, it will return to the inner core after a full circulation of inner qi. Regardless of man or woman, a red mark will appear on the inner core temporarily. Furthermore, after the blood toad gravel is mixed with the snow lotus herb, it would make one feel like his body is on fire after consuming it, as though they had taken an odd poison. Such a feeling will persist for a full month until the medicinal effect is completely dispersed. Hehe.”
