“Feeling your stomach discomfort yet?” Jiang Xiaobai asked with a grin.
Zhuang Huanling naturally felt it, she was already struggling to keep it in.
But how was a woman supposed to deal with such a situation in front of two men?
She could only hold it in, and Zhuang Huanling knew that this thing combined with spiritual power; the faster the spiritual power circulated, the quicker its effect hit.
“Hmm, I guess you can hold on for about ten more breaths.”
Jiang Xiaobai said calmly, “You have two choices now, one is to listen to me, and I’ll give you the antidote. The second is also simple: just go somewhere and let it out.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t peek.”
“You!”
Zhuang Huanling wanted to yell, but found that her anger ven worsened her discomfort.
No longer daring to speak, she could only stand grotesquely in place . Her posture was already off, she clenched her legs tightly, not daring to move or even breathe.
However, she still refused to give in, her pride as a spoiled princess would not allow it.
Soon, her face changed from grotesque to tearful.
“Including the time for the antidote to take effect, you’re left with two breaths.” “I haven’t seen anyone who could hold on for ten breaths. If you can do that, I’d be happy to let it slide,” Jiang Xiaobai said with a vile smile.
AnRan, who was standing aside, was laughing so hard that his stomach hurt.
He knew that his leader didn’t care about gender when dealing with people; whoever stood in his way was treated equally.
Even if the person was a beautiful woman, the angel he’d never seen in his life.
However, the look on the beautiful woman’s face was excellent, which was the primary reason why AnRan couldn’t contain his laughter.
As one breath’s time passed, Zhuang Huanling still didn’t admit defeat, she believed she could hold on!
But soon she was dismayed. The medicine’s effect became increasingly intense, and even with all her might, she couldn’t resist it.
She was about to lose control!
She knew that if she didn’t hold it back, she was bound to make a fool of herself in front of these two men, and it would be a significant scandal.
The kind that would make her stop wanting to live!
After weighing her options, dignity and pride weren’t as important as saving face.
“I agree!”
After forcing out these words through the gaps in her teeth, Zhuang Huanling was seething with hatred for Jiang Xiaobai.
Before she could react, Jiang Xiaobai quickly handed her a smooth antidote pill.
Zhuang Huanling was stunned.
How dare this ruffian touch her face with his filthy hands?
Unacceptable!
All she wanted to do was to kill him once the medical effect faded.
However, Jiang Xiaobai had already foreseen her plan.
“Don’t overthink it. Although this pill can relieve your symptoms, it contains a slow-acting poison, and I currently don’t have the antidote.”
Jiang Xiaobai said with a faint smile, “If you want both of us to die, that’s fine, but are you sure you can take action without making noise, as a skilled Dividing the gods practitioner?”
“This is Wuhai Academy. Powerful people will be attracted if there’s a disturbance. If they find out you sneaked in here, the consequences won’t be pretty.”
“Of course, you can choose not to believe me and go ahead. Anyway, I could die knowing I’ve killed such a beautiful woman. It would be good company for the afterlife.
After hearing Jiang Xiaobai’s words, Zhuang Huanling was completely dumbfounded.
She had never met someone so shameless, putting poison in the antidote?
Does this make her look stupid?
Had she been too naive, or was the man in front of her too cunning?
Zhuang Huanling, who had always played others, was completely baffled.
However, the antidote did indeed work. The strange feeling in her stomach disappeared quickly, but there was a shadow darkening her heart.
That was her psychological trauma.
She strongly believed that the antidote must contain poison.
“You are the most treacherous person I’ve ever seen.” Zhuang Huanling said coldly, gritting her teeth.
Jiang Xiaobai laughed, “The feeling is mutual. You didn’t sneak in here for any good cause either, so let’s not be hypocritical.”
“I don’t care what you’re here for, but now you have no choice but to listen to me.”
“Alright, what do you want me to do?” Zhuang Huanling forced down her fury, took a deep breath to calm her voice, and tried to lower her arrogance.
“Hehe, I’ll tell you in a bit. But hey, your temper seems a bit too fierce. You should take care not to scare off your potential suitors.”
Zhuang Huanling’s face turned livid: “Mind your own business! I’m looking forward to seeing how you get out of here alive.”
“That’s not your concern.”
Jiang Xiaobai said, and then told Zhuang Huanling to wait there. If she dared to escape, Jiang Xiaobai wouldn’t give her the antidote, and let her die of an explosive reaction.
Soon Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan returned, now aware of the location of the scripture storage, and had taken an additional token from that disciple.
Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan already had two tokens, with the additional one, even Zhuang Huanling could get in.
“Well, since we’ve met, we should respect the rules. I’ll stay out of your business, and you don’t tell anyone about mine.”
Jiang Xiaobai said indifferently: “Once we enter the scripture storage, you don’t need to do anything, just keep watch.”
“And you two?” Zhuang Huanling scoffed. “What do you want to do? Don’t tell me you want to steal cultivation techniques from the Wuhai Academy?”
“Don’t be naive. Even if I’m not a disciple of Wuhai Academy, I know the scripture storage is strictly controlled. All the jade stones containing techniques are filled with numerous restrictions. Without the elders’ help, there’s no way to take them out without being discovered.”
“Hehe, you don’t need to worry about this. After entering, just do whatever you want and don’t bother me.”
Jiang Xiaobai found her amusing. This woman seemed to understand nothing.
But unfortunately, to prevent her from turning the tables later, Jiang Xiaobai had to keep her close for the time being.
Then, Zhuang Huanling gave Jiang Xiaobai a cold glance and stopped talking.
Now, she was pretty upset with Jiang Xiaobai, and she was already thinking about how to deal with him.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the scripture storage. Despite its name, the place was actually a treasure house.
If not, Jiang Xiaobai wouldn’t bother coming here..
