Xu Qian lowered her eyelids, concealing the expression in her eyes.
She didn't speak, and slowly walked to the bedside.
Hui Feichi glanced up at her, then at Lian Du, who sat motionlessly beside them.
"Xu Qian, you want the antidote, right?"
"Do you think I would give it to you?"
"I wish you would die immediately."
Xu Qian knew, of course, that it was wishful thinking for Hui Feichi to give her the antidote.
If gentle tactics didn't work, she'd have to resort to force. If that failed, they'd both go down.
She wouldn't die anyway, and he shouldn't expect to live easily.
Her eyes reddened slightly, and she said softly, "Young Master Hui, I am willing to stay at X Group."
Hui Feichi didn't seem to care whether she was crying or not. He sneered, "Keep you at X Group? Am I tired of living?"
"Lian Du, what do you think?"
Xu Qian didn't look at him from beginning to end. In fact, his presence here already indicated his stance.
He would always side with X Group, always.
"You decide."
His voice was very cold, with a hint of indifference.
Hui Feichi raised an eyebrow. He lay on the bed, his gaze slightly slanted towards her.
Xu Qian was undeniably talented. If she were to stay at X Group willingly, she would indeed be a great asset.
But the ice drug couldn't completely control her temper...
"I have a special ability control chain. If you are willing to wear it, I will give you one ice drug antidote pill a day. You stay honestly at X Group, and I guarantee your ice drug will never flare up again."
If she were truly a three-element ability user, under his control, she would be as good as a cripple, at his mercy.
It was a pity she wasn't a three-element ability user.
"System, can the ability control chain control space?"
"Ding, no."
Perhaps she should go along with his plan and stay at X Group.
The young girl lowered her head and remained silent.
Hui Feichi felt it was a rare opportunity. Xu Qian was so arrogant, always willing to challenge him at any moment.
He couldn't help but wonder, was the ice drug really that painful?
Just as Xu Qian was about to agree,
Suddenly, a bone-chilling coldness spread from the wounds on her shoulders and thighs, reaching her limbs.
It came on suddenly and rapidly.
The young girl let out a muffled groan and collapsed to the floor with a thud.
She curled up into a small ball, her long hair splayed on the floor. Her eyebrows, eyelashes, and hair were covered in a layer of white, and frost formed on her skin.
The temperature in the room plummeted.
Hui Feichi, standing nearby, felt a chill all over. Was the ice drug really that potent?
Lian Du's eyes reddened, his fists clenched, veins bulging.
He couldn't make another mistake.
She didn't care about his life, why should he care about her pain?
After an unknown amount of time, the girl on the ground was completely covered in ice, forming a thick layer, except for her head.
A subordinate who came in to report felt as if he had entered an ice cellar.
The subordinate cautiously suggested, "Young Master Hui, perhaps I should arrange for someone to move her?"
Hui Feichi, trembling with cold, still said, "Don't bother with her."
He wanted to watch her suffer!
The subordinate continued to ask the motionless Lian Du, "Young Master Lian, you should go rest. I'll watch here."
"No."
The subordinate looked bewildered. What was going on?
Suffering in the cold?
Lian Du waited for a long time, finally unable to bear it any longer.
"Hui Feichi, does the ice drug attack last this long?"
Hui Feichi didn't know either. This thing was specially researched in the lab to deal with Xu Qian. He had ordered it to be as toxic as possible back then.
It was indeed very toxic!
This deserved a reward!
Suddenly, Hui Feichi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Lian Du, you're not... feeling soft, are you?"
"Hui Feichi! That's enough!"
The man closed his eyes, obscuring the scarlet in them.
In the end, he couldn't bear to see her suffer.
