Concubine Yunxia’s heart leapt into her throat.
She had guessed that Jiang Fan’s method was to poison the Mixed Element Nine-Colored Marrow in this bottle.
But she hadn’t expected Yan Dao’an to be so cautious, forcing Jiang Fan to drink first!
The poison Jiang Fan used was definitely lethal enough to kill a Nascent Soul.
If Jiang Fan drank it, he would surely die too!
She was about to speak up.
A soft shout from Jiang Fan echoed in her mind.
“Don’t act rashly!”
“If he senses something’s wrong, the whole plan will be ruined!!!”
Concubine Yunxia managed to halt her unusual movement and anxiously asked in her heart:
“Do you have confidence not to die if you drink it?”
Jiang Fan replied in a steady voice:
“I don’t know.”
He merely had a strong resistance to poison.
That doesn’t mean he can’t be poisoned to death.
Since the Netherworld Poison is said to be capable of killing a Nascent Soul.
Its toxicity must be extremely fierce.
He may not be able to withstand it.
Concubine Yunxia’s heart trembled: “Then what if you die?”
Jiang Fan sighed slightly: “It’s better than us all meeting a tragic end, isn’t it?”
“If I can use my life to prevent you from being sold, it wouldn’t be in vain.”
Actually.
If Jiang Fan didn’t attempt to drink the poison, he would still die.
Yan Dao’an wasn’t going to let him live.
So, either way, it’s death.
Why not take the risk and try?
If he manages to withstand the poison and trick Yan Dao’an into drinking the Netherworld Poison.
They might have a slim chance of survival.
“No, I don’t want this.”
Concubine Yunxia’s voice trembled.
She had never imagined.
One day, a man would risk his life to die for her.
Her heart had never been so shaken.
Jiang Fan earnestly said:
“Don’t be emotional.”
“This is the best choice.”
After a pause.
His voice softened:
“Last time you risked your life to protect me.”
“This time, it’s my turn.”
Concubine Yunxia’s voice grew even more tremulous:
“No, don’t say that.”
“It was what I should have done.”
Jiang Fan was silent for a moment.
With a hint of apology: “In the past, you and I were adversaries.”
“I often offended you.”
“Now, I apologize to you.”
“I hope this apology isn’t too late.”
Concubine Yunxia finally couldn’t contain her emotions.
Choking back her sobs: “No… I don’t blame you.”
