Chapter 2208: Plotting Against One Another (4)
He was not ready to give up his evil plan, so he aimed another strike at Gu Xijiu. However, sharp pain in his body blurred his vision. Before he could reach for her again, he was already rolling on the floor in a painful struggle. Every inch of his body hurt. It felt as though knives were stabbing him all over his body.
Casually, Gu Xijiu looked at him. "Have you just gone against your words so quickly? Lucky for me that I have a backup plan."
"What?" Ye Ling was already soaked in sweat.
"The poison that you had before was only something ordinary. However, the pill that I had just given you is the real deal, which is extremely poisonous," she said calmly.
Ye Ling was speechless. She was really a cunning woman.
Gu Xijiu lowered her body to see his nervous, sweaty face better. "However, there is nothing to be worried about. The poison will not kill you anytime soon. It will only cause you pain every single day, and for only one hour. You have to bear with it just a while. Its real effect will only come to light three days from now. It will slowly destroy your organs from within, and once it is done, it will move to your skin, inch by inch."
Ye Ling was sweating even more. "You..."
Gu Xijiu put a small bottle next to him. "This is the antidote for the next three days. When the pain becomes unbearable, take one. However, it will only reduce its effect temporarily to ease your pain. Without the real antidote, you are still going to die, in an excruciating way."
