She suspected that the injuries of her "good mentor" might not be as serious as she'd thought. They might even have healed long ago.
Otherwise, he wouldn't dare tease her so boldly, much less let her get close to him!
Anyone who was seriously injured wouldn't let someone who wanted to kill them approach. That wasn't a wise choice.
Bibi Dong didn't believe that Qian Xunji, who had been pope for more than a decade, wouldn't know that!
With that in mind, Bibi Dong decisively gave up on attacking him right then.
After all, if she failed, the consequences would be too severe. She might end up locked in that dark little room again!
Even though she'd been through it before, she didn't want to suffer that torment again!
But Qian Xunji's demand was too much. He actually wanted her to...
Should she turn and leave, or sacrifice herself to the tiger?
Thinking about the hatred between her and Qian Xunji, and everything he'd done to her, Bibi Dong made up her mind in an instant!
Her body had been sullied long ago, so what did it matter if she let him have his way one more time? She'd just think of it as being bitten by a dog!
With that thought, Bibi Dong picked up the medicinal soup, took a few graceful steps, and sat directly on Qian Xunji's lap.
Then she picked up the spoon and scooped up a spoonful. She took it into her mouth, then slowly brought her red lips toward Qian Xunji.
Watching her beautiful face draw closer, along with those vivid, tempting lips, Qian Xunji felt not the slightest stir of desire. At that moment, all he felt was his heart growing colder and colder.
She could endure this kind of teasing? And she'd even agreed to his unreasonable condition for feeding him medicine? Just how badly did this woman want him dead?!
Qian Xunji knew that after Bibi Dong made that choice, he'd been forced into a dead end!
Either he accepted the medicine from Bibi Dong and died of poison!
Or he refused to drink it, Bibi Dong turned on him, and killed him!
He had no other options!
If he was going to die either way, why not choose a way to die that he liked?
With that thought, Qian Xunji made up his mind.
To die beneath the peonies was to be a romantic ghost!
Besides, since Bibi Dong dared to bring him medicine so openly, she must have used a slow-acting poison.
After all, if Qian Xunji keeled over the moment she'd given him the medicine, she'd never be able to clear herself of suspicion!
As long as he didn't die on the spot, he'd find a way to cure the poison later!
And even if he couldn't, dying later was still better than dying sooner!
Just as he prepared to experience the difference between being fed medicine by a beauty and drinking it himself, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.
"Ding! Congratulations, you've received an invitation to the Myriad Worlds Chat Group. Do you accept?"
"Myriad Worlds Chat Group?!"
At the sudden mention of those words, Qian Xunji couldn't help shuddering—not from fright, but from excitement!
He knew all about the Myriad Worlds Chat Group!
In his previous life, he'd read plenty of novels about chat groups whenever he was bored. He knew their conventions inside and out!
For example, rebirth in another world, spiritual energy revival, joining a chat group, and members from different worlds...
And among the members who joined these chat groups, there was a good chance of finding all kinds of powerful experts!
For instance, someone skilled at detoxification, someone with extraordinary medical skills, or someone with unmatched combat strength, and so on...
In other words, he was saved!
But soon, Qian Xunji's expression turned cold again.
He'd suddenly thought of a problem. The Myriad Worlds Chat Group might be miraculous, and there might really be powerful experts in the group, but they didn't know him. How could he be sure they'd be willing to help him?!
And even if he could trade spoilers for resources, he didn't have time to chat with the experts in the group!
Most importantly, even if they were willing to save him, they'd still need time to get there!
What if Bibi Dong had used a poison that killed on contact, rather than the slow-acting kind he'd assumed? Then he probably wouldn't live long enough for the experts to save him!—And it wasn't as if that was unlikely. Women were emotional creatures, after all, and sometimes they didn't think things through!
As for why Bibi Dong was fine after drinking the medicine too—well, couldn't she have taken the antidote beforehand?
As Bibi Dong drew closer, Qian Xunji's mind raced.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.
Maybe I can do this?
