Chapter 153: Chapter 107: Did I Accidentally Kill the Girl?_3

Who would have thought, Miss Shier, on her way to surrender the Demon Energy, attracted a rabbit demon. Despite her desperate efforts to protect it, the rabbit demon still managed to snatch away a bottle of Demon Energy. Right, you also experienced that night. At that time, Miss Shier was dragged into the water by the demon, and it was you who saved her.

Although there was no blame from above, Miss Shier felt it was her fault, fearing that the lost Demon Energy might harm the common people if it fell into their hands. Already kind-hearted, Miss Shier was so troubled that she could hardly eat or sleep, so she decided to investigate that bottle of Demon Energy. That’s why she momentarily lost control and had a conflict with Brother Jiang...

Having said all this in one breath, Nalan Xie turned to look at the bewildered Qin Shier, "Right, Miss Shier?"

"Oh... right."

Qin Shier numbly nodded, flabbergasted by the last-minute fabricated story Nalan Xie came up with.

Jiang Shouzhong was also impressed.

There was a reason why Nalan Xie had become the Hall Master of the Iron Cloth Hall.

He could turn black into white.

Nalan Xie said to Qin Shier, "Don’t worry, Miss Shier, we will definitely find that bottle of Demon Energy. The loss of the Demon Energy is not your fault, and you needn’t blame yourself too much, I believe Master Jiang will understand you."

Seeing the signal from Nalan Xie’s eyes, Qin Shier caught on. Although her tone was still harsh, it was no longer as confrontational as before. She apologetically said to Jiang Shouzhong, "I’m sorry, Master Jiang, I was too agitated just now, causing misunderstandings. I hope Master Jiang finds the Demon Energy soon to ease my mind. I won’t disturb you any longer, I’ll take my leave now."

Jiang Shouzhong didn’t stop her, letting Qin Shier leave.

It wouldn’t make sense to try to keep this woman, even if she could be detained, she would soon be released, making it meaningless.

Nalan Xie poured a cup of tea for Jiang Shouzhong, "Brother Jiang, calm down."

Jiang Shouzhong didn’t accept it and instead asked, "Why didn’t you tell me these actual circumstances this morning?"

Nalan Xie looked helpless, "After all, it involves other cases, and I wasn’t sure if I should disclose it. It’s my fault, truly my fault."

"I still have to investigate Xichu Pavilion, what do you think?" Jiang Shouzhong stared at him.

Nalan Xie waved his hand, "Investigate, we must! We must chase down even the slightest clue. We can’t just take Xichu Pavilion’s word for it, women are the most deceitful after all."

What a double-dealing fellow.

The moment a person leaves, he starts backstabbing them.

Jiang Shouzhong smiled faintly, "She smashed my table, you will compensate for that."

Nalan Xie was taken aback, making a bitter face, but finally took out two pieces of silver with reluctance and handed them over, "I still have something to do, we’ll set off together this evening."

After Nalan Xie left, Jiang Shouzhong said to the pale-faced Lu Renjia, "You see, right now we are like clay Buddhas crossing a river. Be careful these days, that woman has a vengeful nature."

"Jiang, wouldn’t Zhang be in trouble if we investigate this? After all, the Demon Energy was last seen in his house," said Lu Renjia, full of worry.

Jiang Shouzhong leaned back in his chair, looking upward at the ceiling and murmured, "Whether our three eggs can crack that big stone across from us is all up to fate now."

Xia He appeared in the doorway, coldly saying to Lu Renjia, "Get out, I have something to say to him."

"You... Who are you?"

Looking at another beauty who appeared inside the room, Lu Renjia was dumbfounded—it seemed somewhat familiar.

Before he could figure it out, he was sent flying out of the room.

Luckily, Xia He’s control over her force was very good, so Jia merely staggered and sat down on the ground, without getting hurt.

While Jiang Shouzhong, who was preparing to stand up, found himself suddenly unable to move.

Silver needles had been added to his body.

As he watched her close the door and draw out a long sword, Jiang Shouzhong’s eyes turned cold, "I advise you not to push your luck; my patience truly is limited."

Xia He asked coldly, "I’m asking you, did you destroy it or not?"

"What?"

Jiang Shouzhong was confused.

Seeing that the girl was aiming the sword at his legs, Jiang Shouzhong’s anger rose again, "What now? Is turning me into a eunuch not satisfying enough for you? Are you planning to chop it off with your sword?"

"So, it really is destroyed..."

Xia He murmured to herself.

She wasn’t quite sure what Madam’s attitude was towards Jiang Mo, but at least she hadn’t let her harm Jiang Mo, and didn’t ruin his next life. Moreover, he was the Ran Family’s son-in-law, that was a fact.

Xia He grew more and more annoyed.

After an inner struggle, she gritted her teeth and approached Jiang Shouzhong.

But then she hesitated again.

Watching Xia He torn between her decisions, Jiang Shouzhong suddenly felt worried that she might impulsively chop up his second brother.

One couldn’t comprehend this girl’s thoughts with ordinary reasoning.

Fortunately, Xia He put away the knife, and the man’s lifted heart settled down.

After a long time, Xia He finally made up her mind, she raised her finger and lightly tapped the center of her forehead. Immediately, a faint purple glow emerged from her body, shimmering like precious light, emitting a fragrant aroma.

Jiang Shouzhong watched, dumbfounded.

Before he could understand what she was doing, the girl suddenly leaned down.

Then Jiang Shouzhong clearly felt the girl’s cold but soft lips press against his—the fragrance from her lips contained a cold bead that slid into his mouth.

Gurgle...

Jiang Shouzhong swallowed it unintentionally.

At the same time, Xia He’s face rapidly turned pale.

Her originally rosy lips lost their color, and the radiance in her eyes dimmed considerably, as if her lifeforce had been damaged.

Jiang Shouzhong was completely baffled.

What did this girl feed him?

Poison?

The moment the bead settled in his stomach, the small golden figure that was busy opening up acupoints as if sensing a delicious feast, rushed over, snatched up the bead, and stuffed it into its mouth.

The small golden figure crunched the bead with satisfaction and burped contentedly.

The next moment, as if injected with an adrenaline shot, the small golden figure started expanding acupoints at a speed dozens of times faster than usual.

In just a few seconds, Jiang Shouzhong had opened up more than a dozen acupoints.

Until the small golden figure returned to its original pace, Jiang Shouzhong’s Earth Tao Body jumped from the third-rank martial fighter realm right into the first-rank martial fighter’s realm!

Xia He slowly straightened up.

A silver thread stretched out and then gently snapped, hanging from the corner of her lips.

With a pale face, the girl withdrew the silver needle from the man’s body, restoring his freedom, and said coldly, "Because of some special reasons, ever since my sisters and I were born, we each had a life bead on us. This bead of mine can heal all your injuries."

Xia He took a deep breath and continued:

"I don’t know if it will be successful in healing you completely, but whether it does or not, I will take back this bead in three days—otherwise, I will die. You could say, it is my lifesaving bead."

Jiang Shouzhong asked blankly, "You’re going to take back the bead in three days?"

"Yes."

"Otherwise, you’ll die?"

"Yes."

"..."

Jiang Shouzhong took a deep breath, looking seriously at the girl in front of him, whose thinking clearly deviated from the norm, and said, "Listen to me, during these three days, try to eat well, eat whatever you want, don’t mistreat yourself."
