Mu Tiantian was speechless as she listened to Yan Yan's steady breathing.

How can you sleep like this?

Quan Wufeng's face darkened when he saw who was holding Mu Tiantian.

He pulled Yan Yan up and looked coldly at Mu Tian Tian, ​​"What, after running away for three years, do you still want to assassinate Feng Qian Yan now?"

"If I say no, would you believe me? If I say I came back to atone for my sins, would you believe me?" Mu Tiantian said this without any conviction or conviction.

If she were him, what if her most trusted friend poisoned her and then strangled Yunfei, who treated her like a mother, right in front of her?

When you meet her again, don't even think about trusting her; she'd be considered magnanimous if she didn't just kill her.

Now that Quan Wufeng can still exchange a few words with her, he can be considered quite merciful.

Although when she strangled Consort Yun, Consort Yun had already been dead for a day and a night.

But she used a trick to make them see Consort Yun struggling in her hands, and dying with her eyes wide open.

I remember she even told Qi Tong back then.

This world is one where she exploited a bug perfectly, without any flaws.

Quan Wufeng scoffed at Mu Tiantian's words, "Believe? Mu Tiantian, have you forgotten what you told me? You said that believing you was the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life."

Mu Tiantian was speechless.

She did say that after she poisoned him.

Mu Tiantian thought to herself, "Oh no, even someone as gentle and good-tempered as Brother Quan has been angered like this by her."

It seems there's little hope left in this world.

"I...I'd better not get in your way anymore, I'll leave now."

Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best; as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. This matter needs to be considered carefully.

"Trying to escape?" Quan Wufeng shouted, "Guards!"

As soon as she finished speaking, more than a dozen guards rushed into the alley and surrounded her.

"This woman attempted to assassinate the Emperor. Imprison her in the Imperial Prison and await her fate!"

At Quan Wufeng's command, the guards lifted Mu Tiantian up.

She did not resist, and before leaving she said earnestly, "Brother Quan, whether you believe it or not, I am telling the truth. I sincerely want to atone for my sins. Do whatever you want with me."

Quan Wufeng stood there, his lips pressed tightly together, his emotions a complex mix, and remained silent.

Mu Tiantian was taken away by the guards.

System: [Are you really going to wait to die? In a situation like yours where you're just waiting to die, the survival system can't be activated.]

Mu Tiantian: [Do I look like such a fool? I opened up Quan Wufeng's meridians so he could learn martial arts again, I tested poisons for him to help him refine medicine. For all of that, I think he would at least spare my life.]

System: [I hope your thinking is correct.]

Quan Wufeng sent someone to take the unconscious Yan Yan to his bedchamber.

He then led his guards to escort Mu Tiantian into the imperial prison.

The prison was filled with a putrid and disgusting stench, and there were white bones scattered on the ground.

"My God, how come there are human bones here?" Mu Tiantian was startled and quickly reached out through the gap in the iron bars of the prison to grab Quan Wufeng's arm. She forced a smile and said, "Brother Quan, can we change cells? At least change to a cell without human bones."

Quan Wufeng looked at the jade-like hand on his arm, which was trembling slightly.

She was afraid.

"Are you afraid?" Quan Wufeng asked calmly.

Mu Tiantian stubbornly insisted, "I...I just really dislike these things; they make me feel nauseous, so..."

"So you're not afraid?"

"I..." She was afraid of skeletons, rotting corpses, and ghosts; she loathed the strong smell of blood.

These are her weaknesses, and she would never easily mention them to others.

Unless absolutely necessary.

Just like now, Quan Wufeng made a move to leave.

Mu Tiantian steeled her heart and hurriedly said, "I'm scared. As long as there are no skeletons or corpses, I'll go to any cell."

Quan Wufeng's heart softened upon seeing this, and he ordered his cell to be changed.

Mu Tiantian glanced at the clean and tidy cell. Apart from some straw, there was nothing there, and there was no unpleasant smell. She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Brother Quan." Mu Tiantian smiled and thanked Quan Wufeng.

Quan Wufeng didn't speak, but watched her movements.

Mu Tiantian piled the straw in a corner and leaned against it, completely showing no signs of fear from before.

Quan Wufeng did not linger any longer.

Just as he turned to leave, a violent coughing sound came from inside the cell.

Mu Tiantian clutched her chest, her brows furrowed.

After a while, a mouthful of fishy sweetness filled my throat, and a sharp pain shot through my chest.

Mu Tiantian: [Seventh Master, what's wrong with my body?]

Upon hearing this, Qi Tong quickly conducted a test.

System: [You still remember when you opened up Quan Wufeng's meridians, right?]

Mu Tiantian: [I remember.]

Quan Wufeng entered the palace at a young age. He was skilled in both literature and martial arts, and had excellent medical skills. He was ordered by his master to assist Feng Qianyan.

A few years later, Feng Qianlin discovered that he knew martial arts, so he sent someone to cripple him.

From then on, apart from his medical skills, he was like a cripple, unable to lift a finger or carry anything, and he could no longer practice martial arts.

After Mu Tiantian learned about this, she wanted to help him.

However, there is currently no martial art in this world that can help him recover his body and resume martial arts training.

So she tried using some internal energy cultivation techniques from other worlds to help him open up his meridians.

Although it was successful, it caused irreversible damage to her body.

Fortunately, since it was the first time using it, the damage to the body was not significant. With proper care and rest over a few years, it should be able to recover.

It was only then that the system detected the reason: her body was cultivated according to the standards of this world, so when she used internal energy cultivation methods from other worlds, it would cause incompatibility issues with her body.

If used too frequently, or if the mental techniques used are too powerful, it will cause more serious damage to the body.

System: [Knowing that using internal energy cultivation techniques from other worlds would cause irreversible damage to yourself, you still chose to prolong the life of the severely poisoned Consort Yun. That was an act of courting death.]

System: [So, if your body becomes overly fatigued or exerts too much force, you'll experience angina, and in severe cases, you might vomit blood. I warned you about this before, but you insisted on exploiting the bug.]

When Consort Yun was near death, the system issued a mission, ordering her to kill Consort Yun in front of Feng Qianyan.

But instead of doing so, she extended Consort Yun's life.

She thought that since the mission's deadline hadn't arrived yet, she could let Consort Yun live one more day.

She only carried out the mission when Consort Yun's body could no longer sustain her life.

Even so, she waited until Consort Yun's body was almost completely cold before carrying out the execution.

Mu Tiantian: [Of course I'd come back! Even though I encountered a bug, I completed my mission perfectly, didn't I?]

System: [That's true.]
