"It's fine. My injuries have nearly healed, so it doesn't matter if the medicine isn't quite as effective." Qian Xunji waved his hand casually and began testing her.
Was serving one's teacher a disciple's duty? Hah! He didn't believe Bibi Dong could be so kind to the "teacher" who had forced her to break up with her lover, violated her, and made her give birth to a child!
For all he knew, she'd put something unspeakable in this bowl of medicinal soup!
Hearing Qian Xunji refuse, a flicker of anxiety flashed deep in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes. "Teacher, if your injuries haven't fully healed, you should take the medicine while it's still hot and at full strength. It wouldn't be good if you ended up with some lingering ailment!"
How could Bibi Dong not be anxious?
She had spent six long years waiting for the right chance to take revenge!
And now, she had finally gotten her chance! Qian Xunji seemed to have been seriously injured, one of his four lackeys was dead and another wounded, and the remaining two weren't by his side.
In other words, Qian Xunji had no guards with him right now!
If she let such a rare opportunity slip by, she might never get another one like it in her entire life!
So no matter what, she had to trick Qian Xunji into drinking this bowl of poisoned soup!
Noticing the urgency in her eyes, Qian Xunji sneered inwardly.
Ha, just as he'd thought—there was something wrong with the medicine! See? He'd drawn it right out of her!
But this girl was underestimating him way too much. She thought she could take him down with acting this clumsy? Did she think he was blind?
He had no idea how his predecessor in the original story had fallen into her hands!
Could it have been because he felt guilty and had deliberately let himself be caught?
Qian Xunji didn't want to know what his predecessor had been thinking, and he couldn't be bothered to find out. All he knew was that he didn't want to die!
But he didn't dare knock the bowl over, either. Who knew what Bibi Dong would try next if he did?
And he certainly didn't dare fall out with his "beloved disciple."
Because right now, he was genuinely in terrible shape!
If they really came to blows, he wasn't sure he could beat Bibi Dong, who was only a little over level eighty—even though he was a level ninety-five Titled Douluo!
So what could he do to get out of this predicament?
Without thinking, Qian Xunji glanced around, then at the Bibi Dong in front of him.
Suddenly, inspiration struck.
It was true that, given his injuries, he didn't dare recklessly fall out with Bibi Dong.
But did Bibi Dong really dare attack him so easily? Probably not!
Without absolute certainty, how could Bibi Dong dare make a move against him? She only had one chance to strike!
If she succeeded, everything would be fine. But if she failed, she'd have to relive her time locked away in that little dark room!
Knowing how terrible the consequences of failure would be, Bibi Dong had to be cautious.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have repeatedly used the excuse of bringing him medicine to test how strong he was!
With that thought, Qian Xunji came up with a plan.
So now, he had to put on an act—pretend he wasn't injured and make himself look as imposing as ever!
Only then could he make Bibi Dong wary and stop her from acting rashly!
Or perhaps he could simply annoy her enough to make her turn around and leave!
"Mm, Dong'er, you make a good point. In that case, I'll drink it while it's hot. But... I want you to feed it to me yourself!"
As he spoke, Qian Xunji patted his thigh, then looked at Bibi Dong's red lips, his eyes full of meaning.
Bibi Dong froze for a moment at his gesture.
Then, in the next instant, her pretty face darkened, and her gaze turned icy.
Clever as she was, how could she not know what Qian Xunji wanted her to do? He clearly wanted her to sit on his lap and feed him the medicine with her mouth!
That bastard—how dare he... How could he?!
Bibi Dong glared furiously at Qian Xunji, her chest heaving with anger she could barely contain.
"Teacher, please show some restraint!"
But Qian Xunji acted as if he hadn't heard her. He simply watched her with an amused look, wearing a half-smile.
Seeing Qian Xunji act as though he had her completely at his mercy, Bibi Dong's face flushed and paled with rage. She immediately wanted to throw caution to the wind and rush over to kill him.
In the end, though, she still managed to suppress the murderous intent that had nearly burst out.
