Seeing this, Mo Shisheng pinched a pebble and hit Shangguan Qi's hand hard. Before the Qi-restoring pill could be fed into Shangguan Xuan's mouth, it slipped out of his lips.
Finally, it rolled to Mo Shisheng's feet, and she stepped on it, her voice icy cold like the devil himself, "Are you trying to kill him?"
"Shangguan Yan! Haven't you made enough of a scene?!"
At this moment, Shangguan Qi shouted hoarsely, "If venting our anger on you at the Shangguan Mansion isn't enough, then take my life, please! I beg you, don't make things difficult for my elder brother!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng was no longer so angry. She raised her foot and crushed the Qi-restoring pill.
The golden snake's venom was so potent that Mo Shisheng had to use a Qi-restoring pill to barely stabilize Shangguan Xuan's heart. He would recover in a couple of days if he rested properly.
If Guan Qi were to administer the Qi-restoring pill, Shangguan Xuan would likely die instantly!
I really don't know what Shangguan Qi's brain is made of.
Since she wants to slander me, let her slander me even more thoroughly, so that when she slaps me in the face later, the sound of the slap won't be loud enough!
Mo Shisheng's silence made Shangguan Qi even more furious. Her eyes were red and a few more tears fell. Her body was thin, and she looked stubborn and pitiful as she hugged Shangguan Xuan.
Seeing the commotion, everyone gathered around.
Those who enjoy watching a spectacle never miss an opportunity to stir things up. After witnessing this scene, someone couldn't help but spit out a curse, "The people in the imperial palace are all complicated, and it seems that the Shangguan family is even more so!"
"Exactly! Shangguan Yan is far too vicious! This is her cousin, after all!"
"Hearing what Shangguan Qi said, I guess Shangguan Yan treated them like that a lot at home!"
"Yes! I reckon it's because Shangguan Yan is a good-for-nothing herself, and she's jealous that her older brothers and sisters are all better than her, so she's taking it out on them!"
"..."
Seeing the crowd's reaction, Shangguan Qi knew that he had achieved the effect he wanted.
She gently wiped away all the blood that Shangguan Xuan had shed with her handkerchief. He was her only older brother, and she couldn't possibly not care.
But she could sense that her brother's poison had been cured! It was this feeling that made her want to feed her brother the Qi-restoring pill to prove that she was the one who cured him.
But before she could feed him, Mo Shisheng interrupted her. Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Shangguan Qi's eyes, but when she looked up, she put on a pitiful look.
She knew how powerful a blue-level spirit beast was. She was unwilling to admit that the person who could tear the golden snake apart with his bare hands was Mo Shisheng, but the poison was extremely potent, and Shangguan Xuan definitely wouldn't wake up at this moment.
So at that moment, whatever she was, that was it, and everyone was on her side.
She, Shangguan Qi, wanted to use public opinion to destroy Mo Shisheng until nothing was left!
When Shangguan Xuan wakes up, she will add some bad things about Mo Shisheng and then claim that she was the one who cured the poison!
Thinking this way, Shangguan Qi felt much better. She raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and sighed softly, "Yan'er, even if my existence and that of my elder brother are in your way, you shouldn't have treated him so cruelly. If you're still not satisfied, I'll pay with my life for my brother's, okay?"
That last line, "Okay?", was truly heartbreaking, even bringing a single tear to my eye—a perfect finishing touch.
If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, Mo Shisheng would have applauded Shangguan Qi for her acting skills! In modern times, that would be award-winning!
