Chapter 11.3

A Woman’s Fragrance (11) – “I’ve only known her not long ago” (3)

The young girls under the tree suppressed the screams from their mouths and huddled together to look around as the officers and men of the case patrol division drew their swords towards the roof.

Suddenly, another man in black appeared next to the man in black. The two shot poison needles together, but Jiang Nian only had time to stop one.

The cold light swept past, and the other needle flew towards Lu Zhi Yao. It was too late to catch it, but it was blocked midway by a person.

Black blood immediately oozed out from her goose yellow sleeve, so poisonous that Li Ruo Shui collapsed in Lu Zhi Yao’s arms before she could utter the heroic lines.

The poisonous needle that stabbed Lu Zhi Yao in the original was now caught by her.

[Please don’t worry host, the poison is not lethal in a short time]

What’s lethal? How short is the short time? Lu Zhi Yao was fine for a long time after he was poisoned, she wouldn’t die in two or three days, would she?!

Wait a minute, this heroic rescue wouldn’t get herself killed right?

She screamed aggressively at the system in her heart, but she did not get any response.

Seeing that at least one person had been hit by the hidden weapon, the two men on the roof looked at each other and nodded approvingly. They immediately headed to a path back to their house and swept off into the snow-white pear forest, with several officers and soldiers from the case patrol division going after them.

The woman in white was so angry at the sight of this that her veins burst out and she shouted angrily at the two who had left.

“What an idiot! Beat that guy in white!! Fuck!”

Li Ruo Shui: …… so everyone has two faces.

The woman in white looked at Li Ruo Shui with hatred, even if the poisoned person was a stranger it was fine, as long as she could make that beast suffer!

“Hmph, brat, this poison won’t kill you immediately, but it will cause your lover great pain.”

Sitting up in shock from her dying illness, Li Ruo Shui immediately turned her head to look at her, her almond eyes rounded.

“What pain? Say it clearer!”

This was not written in the book!

The woman in white watched Li Ruo Shui’s reaction with satisfaction and she spat out her next words word by word.

“Every mid-month, her whole body will be cold and shivering, like falling into an ice cellar, her body frosty, and when she is near to the source of fire, her body will ache and itch like knife cut. Unless the fire grass is found, the poison will not be cured.”

Hearing this overly magical poison, Li Ruo Shui couldn’t help but complain while being scared at the same time.

“Don’t you think it sounds strange to you…”

“As long as it can make this beast suffer, it makes no difference whether it is you or him who is poisoned.”

Li Ruo Shui’s eyes gradually lost their lustre and she leaned against Lu Zhi Yao’s arms with her sleeves gathered, like an old lady who has experienced vicissitudes of life and seen through the world.

How innocent and pitiful she was, not only did she need to approach the lunatic, but also to bear so much pain for him.

In the original story, it was Lu Zhi Yao who was poisoned, but the symptoms were not so severe. She had thought she would be fine too, but she had overlooked one truth.

The physique of people cannot be generalised.

Luckily, she knew that the fire grass was in Cangzhou, so she wouldn’t get herself killed, and Lu Zhi Yao would always be a little touched because of this……

“Pain? Because of her?”

Lu Zhi Yao tilted his head slightly and the smile on his lips remained the same. There was no sign of uneasiness, guilt or pain at all, instead he was happy as if he had heard a joke.

“You seem to have misunderstood. I’ve only known her not long ago.”

Li Ruo Shui looked at him in astonishment and seemed to hear the sound of her teenage girl’s heart breaking.

Even if it was not a lover, but a stranger who was injured trying to save someone, whoever was rescued would be somewhat a little moved, right?

Wasn’t it true that a lunatic could not be counted as a human? So when will she be able to go home?

Li Ruo Shui was very angry, she took a deep breath and gave him a headbutt before standing up and walking over to Lu Fei Yue.

The woman in white stared at Lu Zhi Yao who was rubbing his jaw and laughing, her eyes wide with anger.

“Indeed, those raised by beasts are also beasts, you are just like your master, ruthless and inhumane. You will definitely be exposed to the wilderness like her, with no one to collect your corpse!”

Li Ruo Shui paused for a moment and immediately turned her head to ask Lu Fei Yue, “How many days are left until the middle of the month?”

“……three days.”

Damn.
