Chapter 64 - You are a hostage (1/2)

Yoori is surprised. She couldn't imagine that Wu Yixing would offer to make the antidote for her niece. The cause for Kyuri's condition is unknown, but that purple smoke is definitely one of the reasons. Did he already notice Kyuri's condition? Her opinions regarding Wu Yixing begin to change.

”The poison inside you is strange. I want to study it.” Wu Yixing looks at Kyuri with excitement in his eyes. ”I love studying new poisons.”

”...” And her opinions regarding Wu Yixing changes back to the way it was. This man is only interested in poison. He should have married poisons instead of her. Still, she is glad that he wants to help Kyuri.

”Xiao Wei.” Yoori grabs her hands. ”Give him a chance. Maybe, the antidote can help you. We won't know until we try.”

”You can stay here with Mo Qian.” Wu Yixing tries to convince the witch. ”He will be restless if you leave. I will do everything in my power to find the cure of the poison inside your body.”

Yoori finds it strange that he isn't asking me how Kyuri got poisoned or what happened to his guards. It occurs to her now that he hadn't asked her once what happened to in the forest. She furrows her brows.

Wu Yixing reads her thoughts. His wife is slow, but not an idiot. ”Xiao Wei, I am curious. What happened in the forest? How did you get poisoned? I didn't ask your brother because he seemed extremely worried about you. ”

Li Jun is also waiting to hear the answer. Yoori bites her lips. How would her niece answer him?

”We decided to leave after you went inside the house. We didn't want to take advantage of your hospitality. When we were passing through the forest, we met a demon. Suddenly, six strange men in black appeared in front of us. They fought with the demon. I don't know what happened because we ran away from that place.” Kyuri's face is extremely serious as she continues with the ridiculous story.

She continues, ”He found us again. My brother fought him bravely till the end. He couldn't stop him from abducting me. He carried me and flew to his lair in the mountain. He fed me a strange liquid. After a few days, he told me that my body wasn't right to become a demon. He was planning to kill me. I ran away when I got the chance. I fell into a river while I was running. When I woke up, I found myself near a village.”

Li Jun and Wu Yixing don't believe a single word of that story. The more they think, the more absurd it sounds. Li Jun remembers how she told him that she ate children's heart and she came from the depth of hell. Back then, he believed her.

This little witch knows how to make up stories.

Yoori looks at them with fear. ”It's true. I didn't say anything because I was afraid that nobody would believe me.”

Wu Yixing takes this chance to pat her head. ”Mo Qian, you lived with such a heavy burden in your heart. It must have been traumatic for you.”

Yoori takes a deep breath. It looks like Wu Yixing believes her and Kyuri. The catastrophe is prevented.
