Xie Daoyun still retained some of her senses, and upon hearing this, her originally rosy face turned even paler.

If it were given to Brother Zu, she wouldn't actually be so resistant, but if she really became the kind of woman Chun Jiu Niang described, it would be worse than death.

At this moment, Zu An sneered: "Do you think I'm stupid? You still want to use this kind of rhetoric to fool me? There's no such thing as a medicine that's so powerful. Just wash it with cold water and you'll be fine."

Strictly speaking, he is quite an expert in this field. He has encountered similar situations several times and has already summarized his experience.

If the poisoning isn't treated promptly the first time, it can indeed easily turn into what she described.

But the key point is that this detoxification may not necessarily require any special antidote.

He flew directly back into the house with Xie Daoyun, and with a wave of his hand, the candles in the house were extinguished.

Then he rolled up his sleeves and threw all the candles away. He then said to Xie Daoyun, "Sister Ling'er, it might hurt a little later, please bear with it."

Xie Daoyun felt the room turn pitch black, and upon hearing his words, her heart pounded: "Yes, Brother Zu, please come. I... I'm willing."

Zuan nodded, casually pressed his hand on the hot spring pool, and summoned the power of the Ice Phoenix. The originally steaming pool water instantly froze on the surface, and a wisp of cold air rose from it.

Then he threw Xie Daoyun in directly.

"Ah!" Xie Daoyun exclaimed in surprise, her whole body shuddering.

Hearing the loud exclamation from Chun Jiu Niang in the courtyard, she thought to herself, "I thought it was some kind of solution, but it turns out it's just about getting ready to mount a horse and take up a spear."

Hmph, look how panicked that little girl is. I never expected that pretty boy to be so reckless and clueless about romance.

While she was complaining, Zu An was observing Xie Daoyun's condition in the house. Sensing that her breathing was gradually calming down, he nodded in satisfaction.

Even the most romantic fantasies will dissipate considerably under the chilling cold water.

Feeling a cold, stinging sensation on her skin, Xie Daoyun blushed. So this was the kind of pain Brother Zu was talking about. I had misunderstood something.

Thinking about what she had just said to Brother Zu, she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

As she was thinking, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Zuan was startled, but after checking her pulse and finding nothing wrong, he breathed a sigh of relief and placed her head on the edge of the bathtub to prevent her from getting water up her nose and mouth.

She needed to soak a little longer to relieve the heat in her body, so Zu'an went out to interrogate Chun Jiu Niang first.

Upon seeing him emerge, Chun Jiu Niang blurted out, "So fast?"

This pretty boy has such high cultivation, but he's a bit lacking in this area.

Zuan was too lazy to waste words with her: "Tell me, who sent you? Don't try to deceive me. I will interrogate you one by one and verify each other's testimonies."

Chun Jiu Niang's eyes gleamed. In fact, the organization had contingency plans for this kind of thing, and when the time came...

At this point, Zuan continued, "I always have a way to get some information out of him. When the time comes, I'll kill the others and leave only him alive. Then I'll spread the word that the others betrayed the organization and leaked information, and that he refused to yield and was killed by me."

"Who do you think will tell me the truth first?"

Seeing the other person's smile, Chun Jiu Niang felt a chill; this man was too vicious.

As assassins, they were already prepared to be killed.

But they all hoped the organization would regard them as glorious men who had sacrificed themselves for the mission. Now, because of this man's actions, they would not only die, but also bear the reputation of traitors.

Ironically, the real traitors live carefree lives, enjoying all the luxuries of the world. This contrast is truly despairing.

Based on her understanding of her companions, she knew that at least half of them would make the same choice, if not all of them. So she figured she might as well take the lead.

So she immediately looked at Zu An ingratiatingly: "Young master is too amazing. I, Chun Jiu Niang, admit defeat this time. I am willing to tell you everything I know. Can you please let me go?"

“Yes, I can return a portion of my power to you, so that you can't harm others but can still protect yourself. I will also grant you wealth and honor so that you can enjoy your old age in peace,” Zu An said calmly.

If you want to bribe someone, you naturally have to be willing to pay enough price.

Chun Jiu Niang was overjoyed: "Young master, you are so kind! I will tell you everything I know. The person who sent us this time is..."
