Chapter 9 - Snake Scorpion Beauty
The man said coldly, ”Don't ask anymore! Just answer truthfully. ”
Lu Ruoqing's eyes flashed, and asked back: ”What if I answer truthfully, and you kill me to silence me? I won't tell you. ”
”If you don't tell me, I will really kill you.”
”That's fine too, we have a companion on the Road to River Styx.”
”...”
In the room, there was a wave of oppressive silence.
The man was silent for a moment before he gave in: ”Alright! I promise you, as long as you are willing to answer truthfully, I will guarantee that I won't kill you. ”
”Swear a venomous oath.” Lu Ruoqing was unwilling to let it go.
”Poison oath?!” That man was truly impatient. However, the bone-piercing pain from before forced him to retreat. He asked with patience, ”Sure, I'll send it.”
”What's your name?” Lu Ruoqing asked.
”Why do you ask?” The man's face was filled with confusion.
”Swear that you don't need a name?”
The man calmed himself before replying: ”Bei Xuan.”
”God of Sky, Earth, and Emperor …” Lu Ruoqing began to teach her sentence by sentence.
”God of Sky, Earth, and Emperor …” Bei Xuan learnt it one sentence at a time.
Lu Ruoqing continued: ”I, Bei Xuan, swear to the heavens, as long as Miss Lu tells me the formula for the bath water, I will guarantee her safety. I won't hurt her in the slightest, if not, I will lose everything I have loved!”
Bei Xuan frowned, ”As expected, it's the most venomous woman's heart.”
Lu Ruoqing asked him, ”You don't want to post anymore?”
He was patiently learning from her and swearing an oath word by word.
”... To lose everything you have ever loved! ”
Lu Ruoqing's eyes were bright and clear as she looked at him, ”Your name is fake.”
Bei Xuan's eyes immediately focused, ”How do you know?”
Lu Ruoqing raised the corner of her mouth, ”You were clearly unwilling to swear that venomous oath just now, but in the blink of an eye, you made it without the slightest hesitation.”
”So what?”
”I'm afraid that the name Bei Xuan is simply a lie and is not sincere at all.”
That was indeed the case.
His face was cold. ”Are you going to tell me?”
Lu Ruoqing insisted, ”Use your real name to swear the oath again.”
”Forget it.” Bei Xuan suddenly pulled out his sword and said coldly: ”Since you are not willing to speak, then I will kill you and ask your servants.”
Lu Ruoqing never thought that he would suddenly fall out with her.
However, she didn't really believe in the oath when she talked so much.
She was purposely spouting nonsense so that the other party would feel that she had something to rely on. All of her words were true.
”Wait!”
She pulled out her last card, ”There are no herbs in the bath, only rose petals, so …” Actually, I was the one who poisoned it. ”
”You poisoned him?!” Bei Xuan was very surprised.
”I have no other choice!”
Lu Ruoqing looked at him with blazing eyes.
She gritted her teeth and said, ”You can kill me at any time, or ruin my reputation. How can I just kill you? So, I could only use the powder in the ring to poison you a little. ”
”And then to blackmail me.” Bei Xuan laughed sinisterly.
”Shouldn't I consider my own life? This is human nature. ” Lu Ruoqing spoke righteously.
”You are courting death!”
”I did that to protect myself!” Lu Ruoqing took a step back.
”Self-defense?”
Lu Ruoqing said in a cold voice, ”The pain that flares up once every six hours, I think it should be extremely torturous for you, right? ”Only I can concoct the only antidote, so if you kill me, you won't be able to live.”
Bei Xuan was so angry that he started laughing, ”Good, very good.”
”Let me go, I'll go back and prepare the antidote for you, then I'll give it to you as a gift.”
”Let you go?”
Lu Ruoqing was afraid that he would kill her, and said: ”I do not know when you will kill me again, so the antidote is not one-time.
”Everyone?” Bei Xuan approached with a strong killing intent.
He pinched her lower jaw and his eyes turned cold. ”It seems that not only are you born with a cheap birth, but you're also born with a snake and a scorpion!”
A woman was carrying poison with her when she took a bath.
Only a snake or a scorpion was worthy of her.
Lu Ruoqing frowned slightly.
It wasn't because his threats and insults were uncomfortable, but because he was so close to her, which made her body instinctively feel very resistant.
This feeling of disgust, it was as if … Where did you meet him?
”Give me the antidote!” Bei Xuan's patience seemed to have run out, thick killing intent rose.
”You're hurting me.” Lu Ruoqing felt as if she was biting his lower jaw until it shattered.
”Give it to me!” ”Don't expect me to show mercy …” Bei Xuan's gaze was full of ridicule.
But before he finished speaking, his body abruptly shrank and then his entire body bent down.
It was as if he was suffering from some great pain.
Even someone as strong as him would find it hard to bear.
The corner of Lu Ruoqing's mouth raised slightly, and looked at him, ”The time for the medicinal effect is here.”
No one could bear it.
Bei Xuan suddenly raised his head, his expression somewhat distorted, and said while clenching his teeth: ”Give me the antidote now!”
Of course Lu Ruoqing wouldn't give it to him.
Without any warning, Bei Xuan jumped up and grabbed her by the neck!
He said fiercely: ”Give it to me! Otherwise, I will kill you right now so that you won't see tomorrow's sun! ”
Lu Ruoqing felt like she was suffocating.
She said with great difficulty, ”Let go of me, I'm …” I'll give you the antidote right now! ”
Bei Xuan immediately let go.
Lu Ruoqing could not help but cough, ”Cough, cough cough …”
However, afraid that Bei Xuan would make things difficult for him again, he quickly fished out a small medicine bottle and held it out to him. ”The antidote, give it to …”
Bei Xuan's body seemed to be bitten by an ant, he trembled and swallowed down a pill with difficulty.
Lu Ruoqing retreated behind the table and said anxiously: ”Don't worry, as long as you are willing to let me go back, I will give you the antidote every month in the future. We won't lose anything.”
