Chapter 626 Instinct
I looked at Mr. Li in puzzlement. What did he mean by I was very lucky?
Mr. Li looked at Ma Ji’s futile struggle. He said coldly, “The Phoenix Blood is immune to all poisons, but someone was kind enough to alter her Phoenix Blood. That gave you an opportunity to successfully cast a voodoo spell on her. Unfortunately, you were too greedy. You wanted to control her, wanted her blood, and kept poisoning her. It was your greed that revived the Phoenix Blood bit by bit.
“You knew that Phoenix Blood thrives on emotions, but you had to go against the natural order and feed her the heartless grass to make her lose her memory. But your timing was off. She already had someone she loved before you poisoned her. Her lover is her medicine. That’s why your parasites didn’t stay stable. She spat them out on the first day she reunited with Jing Tian!
“These two worms are raised in her body. They fed on Phoenix Blood as soon as they were born. Instead of recognizing you, they recognize Nanxing as their master more. Ma Ji, from now on, your life and death will depend on Nanxing. Now, isn’t that an interesting turn of events?”
Mr. Li turned around and gave Jing Tian a deep look. “Jing Tian, take Nanxing back. Leave this to me.”
Jing Tian nodded.
Mai Qi and I asked hastily, “What about Jing Ni? She’s taken Jing Ni away!’
Mister Li said indifferently, “Don’t worry. She’ll be fine.”
Jing Tian pulled us out of the room and said to Mister Li, “Thank you for your hard work.”.
Ma Ji lay limply on the ground, not moving at all.
After leaving the room, Mai Qi and I told Jing Tian, “What about Jing Ni? We have to find Jing Ni!”
Jing Tian nodded. “Gao Da and Tong Le are already looking for her, and Qu Hao is on his way here as well. We will find her. Nanxing, get Du Heng and Xiao Yi to search through the island.”
Mai Qi and I nodded. We couldn’t place all our hopes on Ma Ji, and we couldn’t wait for her to confess.
At the same time, we could use the opportunity to clear out the suspicious people from our two houses. Perhaps Ma Ji had accomplices.
Just thinking about it made me feel a chill down my spine. Mai Qi felt guilty. “Nanxing, how did you find out that she’s not Jing Ni? I couldn’t even tell. I was too careless.” I comforted her. “It’s not your fault. If she were deliberately pretending to be Jing Ni, I wouldn’t have been able to recognize her either. However, when she saw me, she couldn’t help but reveal her signature smile. I’m too familiar with her smile, so I immediately recognized her.”
Mai Qi was still fearful. “She’s really too vicious. This woman is too terrifying. Mr. Li needs to lock her up so that she can’t harm others anymore.”
Jing Tian said, “Don’t worry. This time, it’ll be her final chance to harm people.”
Qu Hao rushed over with a travel-worn face. He looked exhausted. When he saw me, he was startled. “Hello, Nanxing. I heard that you lost your memory. Let me introduce myself. My name is Qu Hao. I’m Jing Ni’s boyfriend.” He didn’t know that I had regained my memory. His self-introduction made me very happy. “Hello, Jing Ni’s boyfriend.”
Mai Qi pouted. “Why didn’t you introduce yourself as Mai Qi’s brother? He turns on the family so soon.”
Qu Hao glared at her. “Shut up! I still haven’t settled the score with you for not looking over Jing Ni!”
Mai Qi wanted to retort, but she swallowed her words. She felt guilty for losing Jing Ni.
