The ruthless fruit's leisurely expression suddenly vanished, its eyes sharp as knives, silently slicing through Ye Qingxue!
Now, however, Ye Qingxue is quite content.
She sneered, "Unless you kill me and dig three feet into the ground to find the love berries yourself!"
"But you should know that if I die, Xiangsizi will never see you again in this life! Besides, you may not have the ability to kill me!"
The Heartless Fruit slowly straightened up, and she slightly raised her right hand. Her wide sleeves swayed gently in the wind, as if they contained countless poisons.
Her voice was sharp and fierce: "Do you think I wouldn't dare to kill you? I'd like to see what you're capable of that I can't kill you! After you're dead, I'll go kill the three people in the house. As long as Xiang Si Zi doesn't appear, I'll kill one person a day!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to pour the poison from his sleeves onto Ye Qingxue.
But at this critical moment, a figure in cyan rushed in from outside the courtyard, stood in front of Ye Qingxue, and shouted loudly, "Senior Sister, don't!"
The Heartless Fruit stopped moving completely, staring intently at the man before her. He was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, just as he had when he left five years ago.
The only difference is that the childishness on his face has faded, and the hardships of the past five years have added a manly fortitude to his features, making his facial contours much clearer and sharper than before.
It was indeed her junior brother, Xiangsi Zi.
But now he stood before another woman, his forehead covered in sweat, his face anxious, and he was panting heavily: "Senior sister, don't hurt her, I'm standing in front of you now!"
Upon hearing this, the tenderness on Wuqingguo's face vanished instantly, replaced by a sinister look.
"You've been hiding from me for five years, a full five years, and now you've finally shown up for that bitch Ye Qingxue, and you're even asking me not to hurt her? What right do you have to do that!"
Xiang Si Zi pursed her lips, her expression somewhat pained: "Senior Sister, I left five years ago not to hide from you, but simply because I wanted to travel."
The Heartless Fruit's expression grew even more sinister: "If it was merely a journey, why did you leave without saying goodbye?"
Xiang Si Zi closed her eyes. "Senior sister, I'm willing to go back with you. Please stop now. Once a sin is committed, it's irreversible."
The Heartless Fruit laughed loudly: "My sins are already beyond redemption. Isn't it too late for you to tell me to stop now?"
The Heartless Fruit's expression hardened: "Or are you saying that you only agreed to go back with me because of that bitch Ye Qingxue? That you were just pretending to ask me to come back?"
Xiang Si Zi stepped forward, her expression serious and earnest: "No, Senior Sister, I'm willing to go back with you, not for anyone else, but for you! I just hope that you won't make the same mistake again!"
His words came from the bottom of his heart; they were truly sincere and heartfelt.
Looking at his face, Wuqingguo was clearly moved by his sincerity and earnest words, her expression slightly touched, but she quickly recovered—
Perhaps Xiangsizi was just deceiving her; this man had never liked her, so why would he be willing to go back with her?
How dare you lie to her!
"Fine, if you want me to believe you, then kill that bitch Ye Qingxue." The Heartless Fruit threw a box at the Acacia Seed.
"The box contains poison. Anyone who eats it will die from excruciating pain. If you feed it to her, I will believe that you truly want to come back with me!"
Xiang Si Zi gripped the box tightly, his fingertips turning white, but he eventually opened it, took out the pills inside, and turned to face Ye Qingxue.
He raised his left hand, scattering white powder from it. Ye Qingxue collapsed weakly onto Dong Bai, utterly powerless.
Even Dongbai staggered back half a step before barely managing to stand still.
"Xiangsi Zi, we trust you so much, how can you let us down and disappoint us?" Dong Bai shouted angrily, but he could barely support Ye Qingxue and was naturally unable to fight against Xiangsi Zi.
Ignoring her, Xiang Si Zi grabbed Ye Qingxue's chin and forced the pill into her mouth, compelling her to swallow it.
"I'm sorry, Miss Ye, but I'm a doctor. I can't just stand by and watch more innocent people die. In my opinion, it's worth it to prevent more people from dying by sacrificing your life! Hate me if you want!"
After saying this resolutely, Ye Qingxue suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning deathly pale.
But Xiang Si Zi turned around directly and said, "Senior Sister, I have done what you asked for. Can we leave now?"
The name "Lotus Seed" was too straightforward, and calling it "Heartless Fruit" was somewhat unexpected, but Ye Qingxue vomited blood...
The Heartless Fruit carefully examined Ye Qingxue's expression and confirmed that she did indeed have a deadly poison in her body, proving that the Acacia Seed had not lied to her.
But Wuqingguo still couldn't quite believe that Xiangsizi was willing to go to such lengths for her.
After a moment's thought, she swayed forward and played with a strand of hair on the chest of the acacia tree:
"Junior brother, you've suddenly become so obedient, which surprises me greatly. You didn't switch the poison I just gave you, did you?"
Xiang Si Zi said, "I want to go back to pay my respects to my master. If my senior sister doubts my sincerity, she can take her pulse and then she will know whether I have switched the poison."
The Ruthless Fruit confirmed that Ye Qingxue was indeed showing signs of poisoning, and quite seriously; she was on the verge of death, so there was no need to take her pulse.
She nestled into Xiangsizi's arms, "Junior brother, you know I don't like touching people who are about to die. I only want to touch—you."
She wrapped one arm around Xiangsizi's neck and hooked her leg around him, leading him directly into the house next door.
She kicked the door shut, pinned Xiangsizi to the couch, and, taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, slipped a pill into his mouth.
"Don't worry, this medicine won't make you lose your abilities, it will just make it impossible for you to run away. Junior brother, let me be your woman. I started taking care of this face ten years ago so that I could stay young and one day be your woman."
