Li Yin's eyes widened to their maximum, staring at Li Xiyue as if she had seen a ghost.

Li Xiyue slowly took out her key and opened the door with a snap.

Li Yin's terrified eyes looked as if they were about to pop out. She wanted to scream, but for some reason her voice was hoarse and stuck in her throat, and she couldn't make a sound.

Li Xiyue walked into Li Yin's room, her arms crossed over her chest, and smiled as she looked at Li Yin on the wooden bed.

Her smile was cold, like a wind chime tinkling in the twelfth lunar month.

"Heh! Are you scared? I've done the calculations, and I predict you'll be poisoned again! Do you think you'll die from it this time?"

Li Yin opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound. Her hands were gripping her throat, and after just a few grips, her throat was covered in countless red welts.

Li Xiyue said, "You really want to talk, don't bother. I've put a pressure point on your speech acupoint, so you can't speak!"

She had Mi Bao use silver needles to prick Li Yin's speech acupoint, so Li Yin could no longer speak.

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yin started rolling around on the bed like a puppet being controlled.

She clutched her hair in anguish.

The poison in her body has taken effect!

The feeling was excruciating pain, as if a pair of hands were tearing apart every inch of her muscles, bit by bit.

It felt like a million ants were gnawing at her bones!

But she couldn't make a sound...

The most terrifying thing is not death itself, but the waiting time to die!

She closed her eyes in despair, wanting to get up and bang her head against the wall. Rather than living a life worse than death, she really wanted to end it all and just die!

However, just as she made that move, Li Xiyue grabbed her by the back of the neck and pulled her back!

Li Xiyue's voice rang out above Li Yin's head. She said in a low voice, "Want to die? Do you think I'll let you die so easily? It's not that easy to die!"

With all her might, Li Yin managed to choke out two words, "Please! Please... let me die..."

Li Xiyue's sharp gaze fell on Li Yin's face, and she slapped Li Yin's cheeks repeatedly.

She said, "How could I let you die so easily? So many lives have been lost in my family! You must take responsibility!"

The blood debt you owe my family, I will repay it drop by drop!

Tears streamed down Li Yin's face like a broken dam. She howled in pain, wishing only for death, but even death was not granted to her by Li Xiyue!

She growled in a low voice, "Please...please...I'm willing to give anything...please, let me die..."

Li Xiyue slowly took out a small bottle of medicine from her pocket.

She said, "After taking this medicine, you won't be in pain anymore."

Li Yin stood up to snatch the medicine from Li Xiyue's hand, but Li Xiyue took a step back and precisely dodged Li Yin's hand.

Li Xiyue said, "Who are the butterfly and the fox demon? Tell me who they are, and I'll give you the antidote. You won't be poisoned for at least the next two days."

Her voice echoed back into the space as she and Mi Bao exchanged words, "Release her speech acupoint. I need her to speak now!"

Mi Bao immediately waved her hand, sending out two silver needles that pierced Li Yin's head simultaneously.

Li Yin felt a stinging pain in the back of her head and neck, but this stinging pain was negligible compared to the pain in her body.

She shook her head and said, "I don't know who they are, I only know their names, which I already told you last time!"

Li Xiyue sneered and said, "Do you think I would believe you? You can't find a single truth in ten sentences you say!"

Li Yin's face twitched. She thought that Li Xiyue hated her and despised her, but she never expected that in Li Xiyue's heart, she was so despicable!

She chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Since you don't believe me, why did you ask me?"

Li Xiyue said, "I don't believe you, but I believe in my poison!"

If you don't talk, you'll continue to suffer a fate worse than death; if you do talk, you'll have at least two more comfortable days!

Li Yin bit her lip so hard that it bled, but she didn't even feel the pain.

She was in so much pain; every second felt like an eternity.

She was in so much pain that her whole body was trembling, shaking like a leaf!

Li Xiyue waved the small medicine bottle in front of Li Yin and said, "Are you going to talk or not? If you don't, I'm leaving! Actually, you'll eventually reach a point where you can't hold back anymore, so it's better to talk sooner rather than later. If you drag it out, you'll be the one who suffers in the end! Only you know who's in pain!"

She turned and walked out.

Watching Li Xiyue's retreating figure, Li Yin hurriedly called out, "I'll talk, I'll talk! Give me the medicine!"

Li Xiyue turned around and looked down at Li Yin, saying, "You go first!"

Li Yin said, "No! Give me the antidote! What will I do if I tell you and you leave? Give me the antidote and I'll tell you right away!"

Li Xiyue said, "Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?"

Li Yin's lips pressed into a straight line, and her heart suddenly plummeted to the deepest abyss. She truly had no right to negotiate with Li Xiyue.

Since Li Xiyue returned to the city, her life has gradually gone downhill. There is no lowest point, only lower. Now she has fallen directly into the eighteenth level of hell!

Another wave of excruciating pain washed over her!

She screamed hysterically, but the people around her were already used to her screams, so no one paid any attention to her.

Even the guards at the entrance to the detention cell wouldn't come to look at her.

Her eyes were fixed on the medicine bottle in Li Xiyue's hand. As long as she drank the medicine, at least her whole body would stop hurting!

She instinctively moved closer to Li Xiyue, completely forgetting that she was still on the wooden plank.

She climbed to the edge of the wooden bed, lost her balance, and fell to the ground, but she felt no pain at all.

She raised her hands high and crawled to Li Xiyue's feet, pleading with her.

"Please, please!"

Li Xiyue opened the medicine bottle, took out a pill, and crushed it with her fingers, scattering the powder into the air.

In that instant, Li Yin's nerves completely broke down!

She screamed at the top of her lungs, "I'll talk! I'll talk! I'm sure the butterfly is female and the fox spirit is male! That's all I know!"

Li Xiyue took out a photo from her pocket. The person in the photo was her eldest cousin, Li Jiuqing.

She handed the photo to Li Yin and asked, "Do you recognize this woman?"

Li Yin looked at the person in the photo with a puzzled expression. The room was too dark, and she could only vaguely make out the figure in the photo by the moonlight and the streetlights in the distance.

She shook her head and said, "I don't know her, I've never seen her before..."

Li Xiyue said, "You really haven't seen it before? Look carefully!"
