Zuan said calmly, "You are indeed very clever, knowing how to pretend to be my woman in front of outsiders, but do you think I will let you go just because of that?"
Tang Tian'er suddenly seemed to lose all her strength, and said with a mournful face, "Young master, I really didn't come to assassinate you. I just wanted to test you out of fun, but I didn't expect your cultivation to be so high. I was so caught off guard by your attack that I didn't even have time to explain before I was seriously injured."
“Young master, you should know that I held back my strength at the time. Although my attack was fierce, I didn’t really aim for your vital organs. With your high level of cultivation, you should have been able to sense that.”
Zuan snorted: "If I hadn't realized that later, do you think I would have expended my energy to save you just now?"
Hearing his softened tone, Tang Tian'er was overjoyed and snuggled up to him, saying sweetly, "Young master, you're so naughty. You really scared me just now."
"Did you come here on your own initiative or on behalf of Xiaoyao Tower?" Zu An asked in a deep voice.
"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Everyone in the building still thinks that you are a member of the sea tribe," Tang Tian'er said softly. "I was just curious about you, so I came to test you, but I didn't expect things to go wrong."
“Sea creatures…” Zuan probably guessed why they thought that way.
Tang Tian'er hurriedly said, "Young master, please rest assured, only I know your identity, and I will never tell anyone else."
"A woman's words, and a man's words in bed, are all unreliable," Zu An chuckled.
"Then what will it take for you to believe me, young master?" Tang Tian'er suddenly asked shyly. "If you're willing, I can become your woman. That way, you'll feel at ease with me."
"Stop your probing. If you were willing to use your body as a weapon, you wouldn't still be a virgin in a complicated place like Xiaoyao Tower." Zu'an directly exposed her lie.
Tang Tian'er put away her formulaic smile and sighed softly, "I've met all sorts of men, but you are the only one who understands me... This is not a compliment, but my heartfelt thought."
“Flattery won’t work,” Zuan said, taking out two pills, one red and one blue. “Choose one to take, then I’ll feel at ease.”
Tang Tian'er's expression changed slightly: "What is this?"
Zuan said calmly, "The red one is called the Three Corpse Brain God Pill, and the blue one is called the Leopard Embryo Yi Jing Pill."
"The Three Corpse Brain God Pill is made from three kinds of corpse worms. It has no effect on ordinary days after consumption, but if the antidote to suppress the corpse worms is not taken in time before noon on the Dragon Boat Festival every year, the corpse worms will hatch. Once they enter the brain, the person who takes this medicine will act like a ghost or a demon, and will even bite and eat his parents and wife."
Tang Tian'er's expression finally changed completely. Although she had guessed it was poison or something, she did not expect it to be such a vicious poison.
"What about this?" The girl instinctively resisted the idea of corpse worms and pointed tremblingly to another blue pill.
"This is called the Leopard Fetus Divination Pill," Zu An introduced with a mocking expression. "It's made from rare and highly nutritious medicinal herbs such as leopard fetus, deer fetus, placenta, and seal kidney, using a special method. Taking this pill for a year can strengthen the body, but if the corresponding antidote isn't taken within a year, its potent toxicity will kick in. It can cause a fat person to suddenly grow three feet tall within three months, their skin covered in blood. Similarly, it can cause a thin person to shrink by half, turning them into a bloated, unhealthy ball of flesh. Someone with your physique will most likely end up like the latter."
"So, have you decided which one to choose?"
Tang Tian'er's face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice, "Can I not choose?"
The other party explained the properties of each medicine so clearly that it was obviously not something made up on the spot, and now she was really panicked.
Zuan shook his head: "You have to choose one, or you'll die right now."
Tang Tian'er's face turned pale and then red, and her breathing became rapid, as if she was struggling internally.
"What, trying to fight to the death?" Zuan said calmly.
After failing to see through it, Tang Tian'er finally lost her strength: "Your cultivation is far superior to mine, how could I possibly be qualified to compete?"
After she finished speaking, she tremblingly chose the blue pill. Compared to having some corpse worms in her body that would eat her brain in the future, the other one was easier to accept.
After obtaining the divine artifact, she suddenly looked at Zu'an: "You want me to be your spy for Xiaoyao Tower?"
“Miss Tang is quite clever,” Zu An nodded approvingly. “As long as you are obedient, I will give you the antidote in advance every year, so you won’t have to worry about any problems.”
Hearing him say that, Tang Tian'er swallowed the "Leopard Embryo Yi Jing Pill" immediately: "Now you should be relieved!"
Tang Tian'er's anger level increased by 555...
Zu An smiled slightly. He didn't have any Three Corpse Brain God Pill or Leopard Embryo Yi Jing Pill. He was just thinking about how to control her, and he thought of the famous poison in the martial arts dramas he watched in his previous life. He didn't expect that he would actually fool her.
Seeing the other person's tearful appearance, Zu An felt a little embarrassed.
"Sit still."
"What are you doing?"
Tang Tian'er was now on guard, her sweet smile gone, and she looked at him as if he were a devil.
"Your injuries haven't fully healed. Now that you're mine, I can't let you leave with these wounds." I just gave her a hard time; now it's time for a little sweetness.
"Hmph, who's your person?" Tang Tian'er originally wanted to refuse him firmly, after all, this guy was really too hateful. She came here specifically for him, just like those love stories in novels where beauties elope at night, but this guy actually did such an outrageous thing to her.
