Xuan Li frowned slightly, but reacted quickly after a moment and put on his usual mature and steady demeanor.
"Commander Suixue, Xuanli has indeed been causing trouble for your tribe."
As he spoke, he bowed and spoke gently.
"However, Xuan Li will resolve the Snake Clan's internal strife as quickly as possible. During this period, I'm afraid I'll need to seek your protection."
Sui Xue chuckled, but her eyes grew colder.
Xuan Li always speaks nice words.
He appears respectful on the surface, but in fact he is secretly making his own calculations.
Sui Xue pretended not to see his deeper implications, and instead her smile became even gentler.
"Since we are temporary allies, even if we are not sincere with each other, we should not scheme against each other."
She walked lightly to Xuan Li with a bright smile.
"What do you think?"
Xuan Li always felt that Sui Xue was hinting at something, and his heart was filled with ripples.
His fingertips tapped lightly on the handle of the chair, he narrowed his eyes, pretending not to understand the hidden meaning.
"Commander Sui Xue is right."
"Since we are cooperating, we should at least respect each other."
Sui Xue curled her lips and stared at him.
"What about Commander Xuanli? Did he do it?"
Xuan Li narrowed his eyes slightly.
The two looked at each other in silence.
One chuckled calmly, while the other pretended to be calm.
After a while, Xuan Li spoke.
“Of course I did.”
Before he finished speaking, Sui Xue laughed out loud.
"It seems that Commander Xuanli is unwilling to admit it."
She smiled and took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve.
Xuan Li's expression changed slightly.
He narrowed his eyes and asked calmly.
"What is this?"
Sui Xue chuckled and fiddled with the porcelain bottle.
"Commander Xuanli, why are you panicking?"
"Since you haven't done anything wrong, why are you so nervous?"
Xuan Li felt a lump in his throat, an inexplicable burning sensation in his heart, and his breathing became slightly disordered.
Looking at the stunning woman approaching him, Xuan Li felt the veins on his forehead bulging.
"What's in this porcelain bottle?"
Sui Xue raised her eyebrows, and with a light pinch of her fingertips, the porcelain bottle in her hand shattered into pieces, and the red pill inside turned into powder along with the broken porcelain pieces.
She leaned over, and her pleasant scent filled Xuan Li's face.
Breaths intertwined.
This made Xuan Li's already burning heartbeat even stronger.
I clearly know that the person in front of me has bad intentions.
Even calculating myself.
But the blood in his body couldn't help but swell, and it was so hot that it seemed to burn his bones.
"There's no poison in the porcelain bottle."
Sui Xue narrowed her eyes and lifted his chin.
Xuan Li felt both humiliated and excited by her action, and felt his already burning blood boiling.
"let go."
He frowned and took a breath.
Sui Xue chuckled, but instead of letting go, she intensified her grip by gently rubbing his chin with her fingertips.
"No."
Xuanli:......
Sui Xue simply ignored his gaze that seemed to want to gouge her to death, and smiled even more.
"I did drug you just now."
"The poison was in the cup of tea you just drank."
The pleasant voice was like a heavy hammer, hitting Xuan Li's heart hard.
He was stunned.
He originally thought that there was poison in the porcelain bottle, but he didn't expect that Sui Xue had already put the poison in the cup of tea he had just drunk.
He was not stupid and soon saw Sui Xue's intention.
All the conversations just now were tests of herself.
If he told the truth, Sui Xue would hand him the antidote in the porcelain bottle.
But he didn't.
He chose to keep it secret from Sui Xue.
So the final antidote was crushed into powder by Sui Xue so easily.
Xuan Li took a deep breath.
He subconsciously wanted to call her vicious, but he couldn't find any reason to scold her.
I really did lie to her.
Xuan Li sneered and grabbed Sui Xue's wrist with his backhand.
"Xuan Li dares to ask Commander Sui Xue."
"What kind of poison was that just given to me?"
Sui Xue didn't answer, but just glanced at him coldly and chuckled.
"Before I answer your question, you should answer mine first."
"Zhu Chou, is this the traitor you arranged to come in?"
Xuan Li paused.
When he didn't answer, Sui Xue narrowed her eyes and squeezed his chin.
"Commander Xuanli won't tell us?"
Xuan Li took a deep breath and sighed.
"yes."
Sui Xue narrowed her eyes.
"Is he from the Snake Tribe?"
Xuan Li raised his eyes and looked at him steadily.
"No, he is from your fox tribe."
Fox tribe?
Sui Xue was stunned.
How did a member of the fox tribe get bribed by the snake tribe and become a traitor?
Sui Xue pinched his chin and moved closer.
Those stern phoenix eyes were filled with coldness.
"The poison I gave you is called Sanxiangyin."
Sanxiangyin, as the name suggests.
Anyone who does not find the antidote within three incense sticks will die.
The poisoned person will experience burning pain in the blood during this period.
But this burning sensation will not kill people. Instead, it will make the poisoned person feel between excitement and discomfort.
It is an extremely insidious poison.
After Ming Zhao rebelled against the Fox Tribe, Sui Xue and his group fled in a hurry. Mie Ming did not have time to carry all the poisons he had developed with him, so he only chose the more representative ones.
Sanxiangyin is one of them.
"There aren't many Sanxiangyin, only three bottles."
"I used up half a bottle just for you."
Sui Xue's slender and warm fingertips slid across Xuan Li's chin and all the way to his Adam's apple.
Xuan Li is currently suffering from the pain of his blood vessels swelling. Her action will only make him feel more uncomfortable.
