"Ding, yes, but if the host doesn't endure it forcefully, the venom will flow back. You have to truly endure it once for it to count as once a day."
"Hui Feichi!!"
Xu Qian gritted her teeth, not even allowed to cheat?
"System, don't worry about me this time, I'll endure it myself."
Relying on the system could only alleviate the pain temporarily. Once a day was still better than ten times a day.
"Ding, alright."
The pain was indescribable, a combination of intense pain and biting cold, as if blood had stopped flowing, and the whole person felt like they had died and come back to life.
Every bone, every muscle, and every bit of skin ached, and her mind was completely incapable of thought.
If Hui Feichi had stabbed her then, she wouldn't have even noticed the pain.
After an unknown amount of time, the girl was covered in frost, water dripping down her body, slowly melting.
The space had no distinction between day and night. After a very long time, Xu Qian finally regained consciousness.
"How long has it been?"
"Ding, Host, 12 hours have passed."
Xu Qian's face was pale. This meant that each episode of the illness lasted 12 hours.
If she wanted to find an antidote, she had to race against time.
The system's suppression methods were only two: the first was to drink potions to extend the duration of the attack, and the second was to enter the space for energy suppression.
However, without an antidote, the illness would eventually strike. The system had no way to completely suppress the cold poison.
Xu Qian quickly made a decision. She dragged the two people and one zombie into the villa.
She went back to her room alone to wash up.
The young girl looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was ashen, her lips tinged blue, and she exuded an aura of death.
Uncharacteristically, she chose a white long dress from her space. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her appear even more frail.
Xu Qian changed her mind after all.
Even if she wouldn't die, she would have to endure 12 hours of torture every day.
No one could bear that kind of pain.
No one.
No matter what, she would go to the R base and fight for it.
R Base.
"Report."
Hui Feichi's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is Xu Qian here?"
The subordinate smiled and said, "Yes... she's at the door." He paused and added, "However, she seems a bit different from before."
The current her had none of the murderous aura she possessed before.
She only exuded a delicate weakness, the kind that made men want to protect her.
Lian Dou furrowed his brows but said nothing.
Hui Feichi didn't care how Xu Qian had changed; the most important thing was that she was here!
"Call her in."
"Yes."
As Xu Qian entered the R base, no one dared to touch her, fearing she would shatter.
That feeling wasn't an illusion; they could genuinely feel how weak she was.
The men in black surrounded her, walking slowly. They didn't dare to rush her; she could go as fast or as slow as she pleased, as if...
She was the boss, and they weren't the ones capturing her; they were the subordinates.
Especially before entering the gate, she turned around, her eyes looking at them, and then said softly, "Thank you."
Everyone's hearts felt as if they were breaking.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
"Come in."
The young girl stepped into the room with small strides. Both men looked towards the door.
Her long hair reached her waist. Her face was as pale as paper. Already thin, she looked even more fragile in the dress, like a paper doll.
A pang of pain shot through Lian Dou's chest and spread throughout his body.
All his resolve crumbled the moment he saw her.
Hui Feichi was overjoyed and laughed for a long time before stopping.
The ice poison was something even Xu Qian couldn't easily endure.
"Xu Qian, I told you you couldn't beat me."
"Come here."
His tone was as if he were coaxing a dog.
