"From the moment I entered this place, you've been threatening me at every turn. Now you still expect me to trust you?" Jiang Bai no longer trusted him.
Li Kejun sneered: "You may not believe me, but that person will still lose his life."
Jiang Bai took a deep breath, gritting his teeth, "What conditions do you want me to agree to?"
"You only need to stay here, that is my condition. If you agree, I will guarantee that person's life."
After speaking slowly and deliberately, Li Kejun stood up and said, "You'd better make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Jiang Bai immediately agreed: "I promise you, I'll stay here. I need to see Zhao Yi right now!"
"good."
Inside the dark dungeon, Zhao Yi was in a room, the Gu worms on his body flaring up from time to time, leaving him exhausted.
Jiang Bai followed the guards to the dungeon. In the dim light, she saw Zhao Yi huddled in the corner.
"Open the door!" She ordered the guard to open the door and then quickly went inside.
She gently picked him up, looking at his haggard face, her eyes filled with heartache.
She fed him some spiritual liquid, and he slowly opened his eyes, regaining some energy.
When he saw her, he was momentarily dazed: "Bai'er, is that you? Am I dreaming?"
He didn't know how long he had been in pain, he only knew that he could not find Jiang Bai, whether in his dreams or in reality.
Jiang Bai lowered her head and kissed his forehead: "I'm here, it's not a dream, it's not a dream, everything will be alright."
She held back her tears. She shouldn't have asked him to come in with her; otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
"You, take him out quickly." Jiang Bai glanced at the guards beside him and instructed them to help Zhao Yi out.
Now that they have received Li Kejun's instructions, Jiang Bai is the holy maiden of the witch clan, and they should obey her.
These people became very obedient and quickly carried Zhao Yi to the room where they had previously lived.
Jiang Bai examined his body and found that it was indeed a Gu poison. This Gu poison is generally incurable; one can only obtain the antidote from the person who cast the Gu.
She then went to see Li Kejun again.
Li Kejun was not surprised that she would come; she had already prepared a meal for her.
"Have a meal with me first, and I will consider it."
Jiang Bai sat down, holding her breath. With Zhao Yi's life hanging in the balance, how could she possibly eat?
"You'd better keep your word, or the entire Wu tribe will despise you!"
Jiang Bai was just saying it casually, but Li Kejun's expression changed.
His face darkened, and he said, "If you don't have a good meal with me today, that man will surely die."
Jiang Bai choked, swallowing back what he was about to say.
It's just a meal, and she'll make sure he's satisfied!
"Someone, find your best dancer and have her perform a royal dance for you."
She waved her hand and summoned the maid beside her.
Upon receiving the order, the girl immediately ran downstairs.
Li Kejun glanced at her with a half-smile, slowly sipping the wine in his glass: "This is not something I can be satisfied with so easily."
Jiang Bai smiled slightly, offering no explanation.
Soon, the dancing girls all ran up and began to dance gracefully in the middle of the hall.
Li Kejun glanced sideways at the women, saying nothing, but found Jiang Bai's actions somewhat laughable.
Jiang Bai poured him a glass of wine: "Come, Your Highness, fill it up!"
Li Kejun took it, slowly drank it, and suddenly his expression changed: "What is this?"
Jiang Bai smiled, her eyebrows curving upwards: "This is a drink I made. Does Your Highness like it?"
She casually mixed a drink with the wine and juice on the table, adding spiritual liquid as well, making it exceptionally refreshing.
Li Kejun was a little curious and handed her the cup: "Again!"
He wasn't afraid of her poisoning him, after all, he was a master of poisons himself.
Jiang Bai kept pouring him cups, one after another, until he was completely drunk.
"Your Highness? Are you happy?"
Jiang Bai looked at his delirious state and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
She also added a trace amount of sleeping pills to the drink, which was perfectly masked by the fruit juice. One glass after another, and once the amount accumulated, he passed out.
"It tastes good, have another cup." Li Kejun squinted and handed another cup to Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai really wanted to threaten him with a cup of poisoned wine, but she was afraid that if she failed, Zhao Yi would be beyond saving.
"Your Highness wants it? Then promise me one thing, and I'll make you this drink every day."
She took the cup from his hand and gently swirled it.
Li Kejun let out a burp: "Whatever your conditions, I will grant them! Just say the word!"
Where is the antidote for the Gu poison in Zhao Yi's body?
She quickly finished asking her question, only to find that the man in front of her had changed his expression. He was still not fully conscious, but he remained silent.
"Your Highness, if you're happy, why won't you give me the antidote?" Jiang Bai didn't expect this person to be so shameless.
Li Kejun muttered, "Although I'm slightly drunk, I'm not stupid..."
After he finished speaking, he collapsed and fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Bai stared in disbelief. Had she made a mistake?
And so, she got nothing out of him. She looked at the sleeping Li Kejun, her eyes turning cold.
She pulled out a large bag of stimulants, mixed them with water, and started pouring them down my throat: "You tricked me! You fooled me! I'll make you suffer!"
This action temporarily relieved her anger, but Li Kejun was soon woken up by her antics.
He looked at her with a bewildered expression: "What's wrong with me?"
He felt a splitting headache, as if something was pressing down on him.
Jiang Bai explained expressionlessly, "Your Highness was too happy just now and accidentally drank too much. He fell asleep for a while and is probably dizzy from the alcohol now."
Actually, he was too alert; his nerves were on edge.
"Really?" He scratched his head, wondering if he was really that happy.
"So when will Your Highness give me the antidote?" Jiang Bai pressed his advantage.
Li Kejun glanced at her: "Did I agree to your request?"
Jiang Bai was furious; this person really cheated!
"You're cheating! You just said you'd consider it if it made you happy!"
Li Kejun was also embarrassed by her accusation, and there were a group of people watching. He was usually in a dignified state, so how could he directly deny it?
He initially wanted to deny that he was happy, but who would have thought...
"What I meant was that I would consider it. So, as long as you complete the sacrificial rites of your tribe, I will agree to your request."
Jiang Bai was taken aback: "What kind of ritual?"
"In half a month, our clan will hold a large-scale sacrificial ceremony. As the holy maiden of our clan, you will need to participate in the ceremony. Once you complete it, I will give you the antidote."
"Don't worry, that person won't die before you finish the sacrifice. Just do as I say, and I guarantee he'll be safe and sound."
Jiang Bai clenched his fists; this person was really going too far.
"You'd better keep your word this time!"
