Tan Xuejia was startled, but Qiao Jin used her finger to quickly poke the area between her eyebrows.
She was so quick that Tan Xuejia hadn’t even registered what had happened before she withdrew her hand.
Tan Xuejia felt like she was being toyed with, and took a big step back. “What’s wrong with you?!”
Qiao Jin saw the grey energy that only she could see at Tan Xuejia’s fingertips. There was also already black energy gradually growing inside.
She immediately looked at Tan Xuejia with intrigue. “You actually have someone’s death on you?”
Otherwise, what she had done wasn’t enough to deserve death.
But now, because of karmic consequences, it was transforming into death energy.
That could only mean that someone had once died because of Tan Xuejia.
That sentence alone immediately shocked Tan Xuejia so much that she could no longer maintain her usual apathetic countenance, and her face paled. “What are you talking about?”
She waved her hand to express her anger. “Qiao Jin, have you gone mad?”
Qiao Jin simply smiled airily. “I advise you not to speak so harshly to me. The harsher you are, the faster you will die.”
Tan Xuejia was speechless.
There was a sudden buzzing sensation in her forehead, and Qiao Jin retracted her hand, then sighed. “You used to treat me like your best friend, but now you’ve shown your true colors in no time at all.”
If Tan Xuejia hadn’t pretended to be kind-hearted, how could she have gotten close to Qiao Jin?
Compassionate consciousness was relatively blind. In the past, Qiao Jin believed that Tan Xuejia’s physical appearance was just to conceal her true self and that she had a soft, kind heart deep down.
Then the two of them gradually became acquainted.
Since she was kind by nature, naturally she wouldn’t think the worst of people.
In Tan Xuejia’s eyes, she was indeed quite stupid.
Tan Xuejia’s mouth twitched. Now that Qiao Jin had become addicted to drugs, the days to come would be very difficult. Her goal had been achieved. Of course, she didn’t care whether Qiao Jin lived or died, so she didn’t feel like pretending anymore.
After Qiao Jin spoke, she waved her hand. “Forget it. Go; I have to rest for a while.”
She had the feeling that soon after, Qiao Fei would come and find her.
She had absorbed Tan Xuejia’s grey energy, but she couldn’t change Tan Xuejia’s fate. The inevitable was bound to happen. As to what extent, Qiao Jin could of course only watch.
Tan Xuejia was silent.
She felt that Qiao Jin was playing her.
She glared at Qiao Jin and said resentfully, “Maniac.”
Then she waved her hand and left.
It’s not that she didn’t notice that Qiao Jin’s personality was a little different from before, but Tan Xuejia thought that she had been traumatized by the suicide attempt. Along with her drug addiction, it wouldn’t be surprising if she was delirious. Even if she wasn’t yet a maniac, she wasn’t far from it.
After Tan Xuejia left, Qiao Jin saw that the grey energy at her fingertips was growing even more black energy.
She gave a soft tut.
In the afternoon, Qiao Fei came to see Qiao Jin again. This time, she was still crying. She said to Qiao Jin, “Xiao Jin, I did it. He agreed to let you come to the Mu family’s house as long as you are obedient. Xiao Jin, don’t be afraid of your drug addiction. You only became addicted recently, and we will definitely find a way to cure you.”
Qiao Jin opened her mouth. Suddenly, she felt that the word “Mom” was easy to say when done reflexively, but when she did so consciously, it felt somewhat inappropriate.
Because she wasn’t brought up by her mother, she didn’t have that concept, and at this point, she didn’t want others to take advantage of her. Still, she couldn’t break ties with her because of her body’s karmic blood relationship, and they would undoubtedly cross paths again in the future.
Her intuition was always 100% accurate.
Thinking of this, she spoke suddenly. “Why don’t I call you Qiao Fei?”
Qiao Fei was speechless.
