Chapter 12 She Ate Me

Since Xia Fanxing bound herself to the space, she has been drinking the spiritual spring water from the space.

Her five senses were thus greatly enhanced.

So she wasn't surprised that Xia Baijiao could smell the drug in the grilled fish she was given, since she had been waiting for Xia Baijiao to make her move.

But she didn't expect that the fish soup Chang Xiang handed her would also have an odd smell.

Moreover, this strange smell seemed very similar to the faint smell of smoke she had smelled outside the state-run restaurant that night, so it was easy to guess what Chang Xiang had put inside.

As she took the fish soup, she saw Chang Xiang and Xia Yu exchange a glance.

The matter is already quite obvious.

Xia Fanxing couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

It turns out that Xia Baijiao was just using this as an excuse; the person who really wanted to harm her today was Xia Yu.

His methods were low-level and despicable, yet effective. It seems he himself has already fallen into hell, so he wants to drag her down with him.

Seeing that Xia Fanxing was hesitant to take the fish, Xia Baijiao said with a wronged but strong voice, "Sister Fanxing, do you think the fish I grilled is not good and doesn't look appetizing? It's okay, I'll grill it again for you right now, just wait for me!"

Xia Yu stopped Xia Baijiao, his eyes filled with anger. He snatched the grilled fish from Xia Baijiao's hand and shoved it in front of Xia Fanxing, almost poking her in the eye.

"Your sister isn't feeling well, yet she still grilled fish for you. Instead of being grateful, you dare to complain? I advise you to accept it obediently and stop talking nonsense. Do you still think you're a pampered young lady like before? You've been spoiled rotten!"

Xia Fanxing slowly stood up and looked at Xia Yu.

Even though she hadn't said a word, Xia Yu felt a strange unease in his heart as he looked into her cool, aloof eyes.

He said, his voice trembling with fear, "Why are you glaring at me? Did I say something wrong?"

As soon as Xia Fanxing made a move, Xia Yu subconsciously covered his face with his arm, clearly indicating that he had been beaten a lot in the past.

But Xia Fanxing walked straight past him, went to the campfire, picked up a skewer of grilled fish, and came over.

"When did I say I disliked it?" She took the grilled fish from Xia Yu's hand without giving him a single glance, as if he were just a tool.

Xia Yu was annoyed by her disregard, but had no reason to lash out, so he could only feel frustrated inside.

Xia Fanxing held up two skewers of grilled fish and came to Xia Baijiao. She actually smiled and said, "You grilled all the fish, so consider it my way of offering it to you. How can I eat it all by myself? Let's eat together."

Xia Baijiao was flattered and her eyes welled up with tears. She nodded repeatedly.

Even without saying anything bad about Xia Fanxing, her performance was enough to make others imagine a whole drama.

"Then I'll take this one." Xia Baijiao quickly grabbed the second skewer of grilled fish.

She kept her eyes glued to the drugged string of beads; she was absolutely certain she hadn't made a mistake.

Xia Fanxing took the first bite of the grilled fish and gave Xia Baijiao a thumbs-up, praising her for grilling it just right.

"Then you must finish it all." Seeing Xia Fanxing eating so deliciously, Xia Baijiao could hardly suppress the smile on her face, so she quickly stuffed two bites of grilled fish into her mouth to cover it up.

"Don't just eat, be careful not to choke. Have some soup to help you swallow." Chang Xiang fawned over the fish soup.

Xia Fanxing took it, tilted her head back, and quickly gulped it down.

She wiped her mouth, still wanting more, and said, "It's delicious, I'll go get another bowl."

But when she got to the soup pot, she couldn't help but pause slightly.

She originally thought that Xia Yu and Chang Xiang were in cahoots and were only targeting her with opium, but she didn't expect that Chang Xiang was attacking indiscriminately and actually put opium into the whole pot of soup!

Chang Xiang is a scoundrel and a pervert. He himself deserves a terrible death, and he wants to drag everyone down with him.

Xia Fanxing silently put down her soup bowl.

She had just drunk spiritual spring water, and the fish soup that had been laced with opium had been transferred into her spatial dimension. She had originally intended to serve it to Xia Yu, but now it seemed completely unnecessary.

"Sister Fanxing, why aren't you drinking? Shall we get you some more?" The others gathered around with smiles on their faces.

They were all very close to Xia Fanxing, and some even intentionally or unintentionally bumped into her.

It's lucky it's winter and they're wearing thick clothes; if it were summer, they would have been skin to skin, practically touching.

Xia Fanxing originally thought the others were innocent and was still figuring out how to save them.

But judging from their current behavior, it's clear they were also involved in this dirty scheme.

They deserved it!

Xia Fanxing felt nauseous and grabbed the man who was deliberately rubbing against her arm, throwing him over her shoulder.

The man's head slammed heavily against the ice, making a dull thud.

Before he could even cry out in pain, the ice cracked open like a spiderweb, and in the blink of an eye, he fell into the icy, bone-chilling winter river.

While the others rushed to rescue the person, Xia Fanxing took advantage of the chaos to turn around and leave.

Xia Baijiao realized she had left and wanted to chase after her to stop her, but before she could take a few steps, she felt weak all over and unbearably hot.

Xia Baijiao was shocked; these were clearly symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine!

But she could see clearly that the grilled fish she chose was indeed the second one with myrrh!

Xia Baijiao will never understand.

No matter which skewer of grilled fish she chose, Xia Fanxing could use her spatial ability to openly and legitimately switch it with the drugged one right in front of her.

Xia Baijiao fell to the ground, panting heavily.

Xia Yu noticed and quickly ran over to help her up. He was also startled by her frail and boneless appearance and her seductive eyes.

But he quickly realized something, looked around and indeed saw no sign of Xia Fanxing. He gritted his teeth and cursed angrily, "Poisonous woman, she actually dared to drug you!"

Xia Baijiao's face was flushed, and she was panting heavily, "Find... Song Hechao..."

"Okay, I'll bring it now—"

Before Xia Yu could finish speaking, Chang Xiang grabbed her by the back of her collar and pulled her away.

Xia Baijiao fell to the ground again, but was quickly pounced on and surrounded by the inhuman group.

The fish soup in the pot not far away was almost gone; they shared it after rescuing the people.

The effects were immediate; they had reached a state of bliss and were now seeking even greater thrills.

This coincided perfectly with Xia Baijiao's state, and the two were like dry tinder ready to ignite at any moment.

"Let go of my sister! Get out of here! I'm going to kill you all!" Xia Yu roared, his eyes bloodshot and his gaze bloodshot, but he was firmly restrained by Chang Xiang and could not move.

Chang Xiang dragged Xia Yu toward the soup pot.

"What are you yelling about?" His words seemed to drift from hell, damp and sticky like a venomous snake. "Didn't we agree that day that you would bring your sister over to 'play' with us? You did a great job."

Xia Yu broke down: "We're talking about Xia Fanxing!"

Chang Xiang said helplessly, "But Xia Fanxing ran away, so we can only use Xia Baijiao as compensation."

"Absolutely not! Let me go, I need to save my sister... Ugh!"

Chang Xiang forced Xia Yu to drink the rest of the fish soup. Xia Yu resisted fiercely, choked and coughed, but eventually managed to drink some.

Chang Xiang muttered, "You've wasted all the good stuff."

He released Xia Yu's grip, took out a cigarette, lit it, and grinned wickedly, "Alright, now go and save her."

Xia Yu's eyes went from clear to crazed; the crimson before was anger, but now it was an extreme desire.

He has lost his mind.

Seeing this, Chang Xiang smiled with satisfaction, quickly finished his high-concentration cigarette, and joined the fray...
