"What, do you think I'd cheat you out of five pearls?" Kazel couldn't help but retort when he heard her words.
While it's true that it's correct to deliver the goods first, given their relationship, is it really necessary to deliver the pearls in advance?
"Just in case, it's more reassuring to have the goods in hand." She said earnestly, a lesson she had learned from the many strategists and countless conspiracies of her past life.
Really, never base your trust on human nature, because not everyone has human nature.
“Okay, I’ll go get it for you.” With a sigh, Kazel stood up. “I won’t be back tonight. I’m going to say goodbye to them.”
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun nodded without any objection.
"Brother Mu, Su, Fan Xuanye and I are going to catch some food." Xiong Ruoyou leaned over the fence and looked at her.
"Mm." She responded briefly. Once Xiong Ruoyou received the response, she immediately turned around and went out with Fan Xuanye.
They still needed to eat, but because of their connection with Kazel, they tried to avoid fishing and planned to go fishing only when they couldn't find anything else to eat.
Now only she, Su, and Bai Feifei remained in the room.
Just then, Bai Feifei appeared in front of her.
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Feifei looked at her with a probing expression, her gaze finally settling on her bare arm.
She was inside the house when she overheard some of their conversation outside.
Although she didn't know what the insect poison was, she keenly overheard that Mu Qingyun would have a three-day period of weakness.
"It's nothing." Su glanced at Bai Feifei indifferently. "I'll be fine after a rest. If you're free, you can go get some water."
"Hmph, I've already fetched water today. If you don't want to talk to me anymore, fine. I'll just go out for a walk, okay?" Bai Feifei glared at them resentfully, then turned and walked out of the house.
Mu Qingyun stared at her departing figure, a cold glint in her eyes. "Su, go check the pot she washed. Look carefully to see if there's anything on it."
"Okay." Su nodded and immediately walked towards where the pot was.
Even if Mu Qingyun hadn't said anything, he would have gone to check anyway. However, he always felt that Bai Feifei wouldn't be that stupid. If he really found something in the pot, it would only prove that Bai Feifei was truly...naive.
...
On the other side, Bai Feifei came out of the house, immediately turned off the live broadcast device, and started walking quickly towards where Mu Xueyao was.
"Cough cough."
Seeing that Mu Xueyao and Deng Yijie were both resting with their eyes closed, she quickly coughed a few times to attract their attention.
The first to look over was Mu Xueyao. The moment she saw Bai Feifei, she reached out and turned off the live streaming device on Deng Yijie's wrist.
"Hmm, what's wrong, Your Highness?" Startled by her action, Deng Yijie asked in confusion, but when his eyes fell on her hand touching his wrist, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.
The princess finally made physical contact with him!
"Feifei is here, I'll go see her." Mu Xueyao smiled gently at him. Deng Yijie didn't know that Bai Feifei had been sent there by her; he thought that he had angered Bai Feifei and driven her away.
"Hmph, who cares what she does? As long as she's not eliminated or dies, she can go wherever she wants, and it's best if she never comes back." Deng Yijie snorted coldly, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust.
Upon hearing this, a mocking smile flashed in Mu Xueyao's eyes, but she frowned in strong disapproval. "You can't say that. If Feifei needs me, I will definitely do my best to help her."
“Your Highness, you are too kind.” Deng Yijie sighed. He would rather the woman he liked be a little more ruthless. The princess would definitely be bullied by others if she was like this.
Alas, it seems he can only stay by His Highness's side and help him get rid of those treacherous villains with ill intentions.
Without replying, Mu Xueyao quickly walked towards Bai Feifei. As soon as she was away from Deng Yijie, her expression instantly changed from gentle to impatient. "What is it?"
Bai Feifei, who had been watching her changing expressions, pursed her lips and felt that she had been blind before.
Why did she initially think that this master of disguise was so kind and good-hearted?
"Mu Qingyun was bitten by the Zerg..."
"Really? Then is he dead or eliminated?" Before Bai Feifei could finish speaking, Mu Xueyao immediately interrupted, her eyes full of excitement.
“No,” Bai Feifei shook her head, “She was injected with some kind of insect venom-clearing agent. She will only be weak for three days. It seems that the toxins have already been cleared away.”
Hearing this, Mu Xueyao was instantly disappointed. Tsk, how come she wasn't poisoned to death? It would have been better to just poison her to death and end it all.
However, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. Being weak for three days was actually a good opportunity.
"Alright, I understand. Go somewhere else for a while, just don't get close to Mu Qingyun."
"Oh, okay."
...
"Why don't you get some sleep?" Su looked at Mu Qingyun, who wasn't resting and was just staring at the spot in front of her, seemingly lost in thought. She shook her head helplessly. "I checked the pot; there's nothing wrong with it."
Mu Qingyun lowered her eyes, somewhat surprised, but upon closer inspection, it made sense. No one would be so foolish as to underestimate Bai Feifei.
"I can't sleep." She turned to look at Su. "I just went through a battle, how could I possibly sleep?"
Hearing this, Su looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward. "Let me massage your head. You always take care of me, so today I'll take care of you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked behind her, reached out and held her head, pressing it against his body in a position that made her feel extremely comfortable.
A pair of warm hands pressed on her temples, massaging them with varying pressure. After a while, she felt that her forehead was getting warmer and warmer, and more and more comfortable.
Sleepiness washed over her, and after blinking, she couldn't resist the heavy eyelids and quickly fell asleep.
Only after making sure Mu Qingyun was sound asleep did Su breathe a sigh of relief.
He shut down Mu Qingyun's and his own live streams, then activated both of his supernatural abilities simultaneously, pressing his hands against her shoulders, and waves of energy surged from his hands into her body.
Although he couldn't completely eliminate the side effects of the insect venom-clearing agent, he could still use his own abilities to enhance the strength of her powers.
The amount of fluid kept flowing into Mu Qingyun's body, but he felt as if he had thrown himself into a bottomless pit, without receiving any feedback whatsoever.
No, why is there no feedback at all? This situation could mean either that Mu Qingyun doesn't have any special abilities, or that she has more than one special ability.
