CHAPTER 107: CHAPTER 105: HOW COULD HE POSSIBLY ENDURE SUCH AGONY?!

But Ah Ruolan stared straight at him, threatening.

"If that’s the case, don’t think about coming to me when you’re sick!"

Qi Nanfeng’s gaze tightened; how could being manipulated feel good? He had already started showing symptoms today.

His body felt weak, occasionally heated, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

If he couldn’t endure it, he would face even greater pain and torture; his entire body would feel like it’s being gnawed by thousands of ants, with every inch of skin like being sliced by knives.

How could he accept such pain?!

But Ah Ruolan would thus hold him at bay for a lifetime, unless... Ruan Mian knew how to cure this poison, then it would be once and for all!

Thinking of this, he made up his mind and prepared to lose all dignity, and found Ruan Mian.

Before she could speak, Qi Nanfeng knelt down before her.

"Mianmian..." His face was earnest, his voice tearful as he spoke one word at a time.

"I know it’s late to say certain things at this moment, but I still want to cling to the last hope and beg a favor from you!"

"Ah Ruolan poisoned me with something, if I don’t take the antidote periodically, my whole body will feel like being torn apart by five horses! That’s why I was forced to bring her as well, because of her threat."

"Mianmian, I know you hate me, but if you save me from peril this time, I swear to the heavens, I’ll be your servant, go through fire and blade for you without hesitation!!"

He raised his hands in oath, asserting earnestly.

Ruan Mian suddenly chuckled, retorting, "With your condition, do you still qualify as someone who can be my servant?" This statement was like a sharp blade stabbing viciously into Qi Nanfeng’s heart!

He inevitably overthought.

"I... why wouldn’t I qualify? Once you cure the poison, I’d be just like an ordinary person!"

"Really?" Ruan Mian found his stubbornness amusing.

If that’s the case, she would help him recall.

"Even if your poison is cured, can you be like ordinary men? You’ve been tortured by the Xuanjia Army repeatedly, drugged by that tigress, and then yielded to Ah Ruolan, are you sure you can be no different than other men?"

"I think even the Angel Eunuch in the palace is stronger than you, right?"

Her words instantly left Qi Nanfeng frozen in place, his eyes gradually widening, as he belatedly stood up.

His eyes reddened with disbelief as he stared at Ruan Mian.

"You... how do you know? Was it you? Were you behind this..."

Ruan Mian remained unchanged in expression, hearing the trembling in his voice, and didn’t deny.

"I pointed others to the right path, but ultimately didn’t force you to accept. What can I say? Qi Nanfeng, this is your retribution, isn’t it?"

Qi Nanfeng knew Ruan Mian was malicious, but never thought he’d become this wretched, driven by her behind the scenes?

At that moment, he was so angry that he couldn’t breathe, trembling uncontrollably.

He no longer cared about begging, all he wanted was to tear Ruan Mian apart!

"Wicked woman! Wicked woman! I’ve never seen someone as shamelessly wicked as you! I shouldn’t have married you, shouldn’t have let you into my family’s door, otherwise my Qi Family wouldn’t have come to such a state?!"

"It’s all your doing, Ruan Mian! You have such a cruel heart! Aren’t you afraid of retribution?!"

His eyes were bloodshot, shouting angrily, his body couldn’t bear it as he lunged forward to strangle her.

"I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you!!"

Ruan Mian’s gaze turned slightly cold, seeing him rush forth, she gently extended her leg, causing him to trip solidly over her ankle and fall face-first.

His head immediately bumped with a big lump.

His whole body shook with rage.

Perhaps due to his overly intense emotions, he suddenly felt suffocated, the pain from his body’s various parts seemed like being gnawed by thousands of ants.

It made him suffer intensely, lacking even the strength to get up.

He curled up on the ground, continuously shouting: "Lan’er, Lan’er, save me..."

It seemed the poison had truly flared up.

Who knows what poison Ah Ruolan used on him, it looked truly painful.

But this scene was precisely what Ruan Mian wanted to see.

She just watched him quietly, until she found it boring, then turned away.

At this moment, Liu Family saw her son’s suffering, although she had already seen her son’s true colors, he was still her flesh and blood.

Even if feeling disgusted, she decided to beg Ah Ruolan.

Ah Ruolan spoke just one sentence: "Will you obey or not?"

Liu Family and Qi Nanfeng both nodded, Qi Nanfeng foaming at the mouth, kept begging: "Obey, I obey..."

"Miss, quickly save my son, now your whole family is already fallen, without my son’s protection, not relying on us, you’ll find it hard to get by alone!"

"Have you seen those Ruan Family? That Ruan Mian is such a ruthless woman, you can’t beat her!"

Ah Ruolan sneered: "I can’t beat her? Who are you underestimating?!"

She wanted to see what Ruan Mian could do to her? Anyway, she grew up in Wuheng, knew this place’s terrain better than anyone, and trained in martial arts since young.

A woman like her, born in a chamber, even if a bit clever, so what?

In Wuheng, one couldn’t survive relying only on a little brain.

At the same time, she understood that relying on her martial ability, she couldn’t survive alone either.

So stepping back at the right time wasn’t impossible.

...

They kept walking in one direction, unknowingly descended from the mountain on the other side.

Seeing the frozen river ahead, everyone felt uncertain, thinking it was ominous.

"We still need to climb up the mountain for safety, there are no barriers near the river, opposite is the border of Lanqiang, easy to be discovered!"

Mr. Xue spoke up; at this moment Ruan Mian saw a small wind-sheltered slope and reassured them.

"Everyone is tired, why not rest here for a while, I’ll go find something to eat."

"Sister! Can you find anything to eat here? Better let me, as a man, go see if there’s something to hunt nearby..."

"There are treasures everywhere here, brother, follow me."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Qingsong was full of curiosity and followed her to the riverside.

She just took a hammer and axe from the supplies box, also found a wooden stick, tied with a thin line, and mixed something like mud at the end.

Arriving by the river, she vigorously chiseled the ice.

No need for much effort, the ice block was quickly chiseled into a hole.

"Although it just passed a blizzard, now it’s the beginning of spring in Wuheng, the river ice layer is already unstable."

"The fish below are plump!!"
