Yoori is surprised. She couldn't imagine that Wu Yixing would offer to make the antidote for her niece. The cause for Kyuri's condition is unknown, but that purple smoke is definitely one of the reasons. Did he already notice Kyuri's condition? Her opinions regarding Wu Yixing begin to change.
"The poison inside you is strange. I want to study it." Wu Yixing looks at Kyuri with excitement in his eyes. "I love studying new poisons."
"..." And her opinions regarding Wu Yixing changes back to the way it was. This man is only interested in poison. He should have married poisons instead of her. Still, she is glad that he wants to help Kyuri.
"Xiao Wei." Yoori grabs her hands. "Give him a chance. Maybe, the antidote can help you. We won't know until we try."
"You can stay here with Mo Qian." Wu Yixing tries to convince the witch. "He will be restless if you leave. I will do everything in my power to find the cure of the poison inside your body."
Yoori finds it strange that he isn't asking me how Kyuri got poisoned or what happened to his guards. It occurs to her now that he hadn't asked her once what happened to in the forest. She furrows her brows.
Wu Yixing reads her thoughts. His wife is slow, but not an idiot. "Xiao Wei, I am curious. What happened in the forest? How did you get poisoned? I didn't ask your brother because he seemed extremely worried about you. "
Li Jun is also waiting to hear the answer. Yoori bites her lips. How would her niece answer him?
"We decided to leave after you went inside the house. We didn't want to take advantage of your hospitality. When we were passing through the forest, we met a demon. Suddenly, six strange men in black appeared in front of us. They fought with the demon. I don't know what happened because we ran away from that place." Kyuri's face is extremely serious as she continues with the ridiculous story.
She continues, "He found us again. My brother fought him bravely till the end. He couldn't stop him from abducting me. He carried me and flew to his lair in the mountain. He fed me a strange liquid. After a few days, he told me that my body wasn't right to become a demon. He was planning to kill me. I ran away when I got the chance. I fell into a river while I was running. When I woke up, I found myself near a village."
Li Jun and Wu Yixing don't believe a single word of that story. The more they think, the more absurd it sounds. Li Jun remembers how she told him that she ate children's heart and she came from the depth of hell. Back then, he believed her.
This little witch knows how to make up stories.
Yoori looks at them with fear. "It's true. I didn't say anything because I was afraid that nobody would believe me."
Wu Yixing takes this chance to pat her head. "Mo Qian, you lived with such a heavy burden in your heart. It must have been traumatic for you."
Yoori takes a deep breath. It looks like Wu Yixing believes her and Kyuri. The catastrophe is prevented.
***
My aunt is relaxed. Wu Yixing is patting her hair intimately. She hasn't realized their proximity. She is already trapped by this man. Uncle, I support you. I already know that you are worthy of being with my aunt.
I hope that my aunt tells him honestly about her identity when she falls in love with him.
"Fifth prince, you can take my blood and research the poison." I grin when I see my aunt startled and move away from my uncle. "But, I can't stay here. I will find a different place."
"Why?" She asks me with a loud voice. "Where will you go?"
"I can't stay here," I tell her with determination. It's better if she doesn't get involved with my problems. "You are Feng Lingxin now. I am not Feng Lingxin's brother. It might raise suspicions if we are seen together. The capital is big. I will find a new place to stay. I won't be far. Don't worry about me. I want to grow up and take responsibility for my life."
She has already helped me a lot. I can't drag her with me.
"If that's your decision, I will let you do what you want to do." She finally speaks with a defeated voice. "You also inherited the unyielding blood of our family."
"You don't have to go far." Li Jun finally speaks. "You will come with me."
Okay. Where did that come from? I almost forgot that he was also in the room. I straightforwardly decline his offer. "Thanks a lot, but I will find another place."
"I am not asking." He looks at me indignantly. "Mo Qian is helping with an important mission. Until it's over, you are a hostage."
"Wu Yixing, this is not a part of our deal." Aunt Yoori yells, "He doesn't need to be a hostage. I am also poisoned."
"But, you don't care much about your life. What if you don't take the antidote to spite me? If your brother is involved, you will be serious." Wu Yixing smirks at her. "Living with Li Jun isn't bad. He will take care of your brother well."
"I am afraid that he will take care of my brother too well." Aunt Yoori's words are drenched with sarcasm. "It's better if he stays here."
You can't fight with fate. Li Jun is watching me gravely. He won't let me go this time. But, I haven't given up. I will find a way to escape.
"I will go with him."
