The man played with the bracelet in his hand, studying it carefully. "You've been refining the antidote for so long, but there hasn't been any effect. I now doubt... whether you can actually refine a real antidote."
Duan Qingxi rolled his eyes. How could the antidote to the poison be so easy to make? It would only be possible to successfully cultivate it to the semi-immortal level.
This is also the reason why she has never been able to succeed in refining it before.
After Xiaodai knew about it, he has been urging her to cultivate and become an immortal. She is also accumulating merits now, but that is not an easy task!
But she couldn't tell Helian Sheng this, so she could only say, "Although I didn't refine the antidote, I did at least refine a pill to suppress the poison in your body. Doesn't that count as no effect at all?!"
"If... you already have the elixir that suppresses the poison, and your claim of refining the antidote is just a cover, what can I do?"
The implication is that you still can't believe it.
Duan Qingxi: ...This bastard has become so smart!
But she won't admit it!
"Your Highness, trust is essential between people! Without trust, how can we cooperate? Without cooperation, how can we foster affection and accomplish great things together?! Please return the bracelet to me immediately. It is... a relic left to me by my mother. I cannot survive without it!"
Hearing this, Helian Sheng glanced at the bracelet in her hand and murmured, "So... this thing is very important to you?"
Duan Qingxi nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, it's very important! Extremely important! It couldn't be more important!"
But the man's demeanor suddenly changed, and his smile became particularly devious. "In that case, I will keep it safe for you. As long as you move to the Ninth Prince's Palace, I will return the bracelet to you."
Duan Qingxi was dumbfounded. Why didn't they follow the routine again?
"No...why should I move to the Ninth Prince's Mansion?! I'm about to marry the Fifth Prince, how can I live in a stranger's mansion?!"
I don’t know if her words irritated him, but I saw that Helian Sheng was emitting a cold chill all over his body. Even if I couldn’t see his face, I could guess that his expression at the moment was very ugly.
Just as Duan Qingxi was reflecting on herself, the man left.
Duan Qingxi: ...
He resigned himself to his fate and walked out of the private room. Just as he was about to go back to find Duan Sijin, he suddenly saw a person standing in the corridor outside.
The red dress fluttered in the wind, and the hip-length hair as black as ink hung down behind her. It seemed as if the wind blew, slightly lifting some of the hair. The combination of the inky black hair and the blood-red dress gave people a strong visual impact, making people inexplicably dazed.
Duan Qingxi was thinking in a daze, look at this graceful back, this must be an extremely beautiful woman!
But when the visitor looked back and smiled, Duan Qingxi's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
Oh my god!
How could there be such a gorgeous man in this world?!
He was completely comparable to the man in white she had met at the hunting conference before, but one was as gentle as an immortal, while the other was as enchanting as a demon god. They had two completely different styles.
And this man in red also has a pair of very seductive fox eyes, well... bonus points!
"Girl...why are you here?"
Depend on!
She's good-looking, that's all, but why is her voice so captivating and alluring?!
Duan Qingxi felt like her ears were pregnant!
To be honest, she is not a flower maniac, but if the other person is too beautiful, she can easily lose control of herself.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and Duan Qingxi actually felt a little shy, as if she was back in school and secretly had a crush on a very outstanding senior.
And that senior is standing in front of you at this moment, showing you tenderness and care.
"Xi'er!!!"
Duan Qingxi was immersed in her own world, but Duan Sijin shouted angrily, and she suddenly came to her senses, only to find that she had been embraced by the man in red without her knowing when, and her own hands were hooked around his neck without her knowing when.
