Quick Wear: Boss, she won again by doing nothing

Chapter 993 is here? Want to be food? (28)

Xingyu's red lips curved slightly, her eyes gleaming faintly. "Did you drink the talisman water I gave you?" Her tone was certain, carrying a subtle, knowing interest.

There is absolutely no way that one could survive for two days after being poisoned by such a strong corpse toxin with medicine alone.

Shuying suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with shock, and then nodded weakly but forcefully.

Yes! The master instructed that if they couldn't win, they shouldn't waste the talismans, so they didn't linger after being injured.

Later, when they found that the usual methods were not working, their master told them to find some water, burn the talisman she had given them, mix it with water, and drink it. The churning chills and excruciating pain were indeed temporarily suppressed, relieving their symptoms.

However, they had very few talismans left on them and could only hope that reinforcements would arrive to rescue them before asking Master Miao to save them.

Unexpectedly, what they encountered first was Master Miao!

Xingyu clicked his tongue softly, his gaze returning to Wei Shengwang's dark blue face.

That look in his eyes was as if he were assessing a very interesting object.

Xingyu chuckled softly, "Quite clever, it's just a pity..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shuying interrupted her with an urgent plea, "Master Miao... please... you must save my master! If I... can survive, I'll do whatever you ask! If I can't... in the next life, I... Shuying... will be your slave!"

Xingyu raised an eyebrow with interest, her gaze shifting to Shuying, her eyes smiling yet cool.

"The poison has seeped into your very bones. Even if you were to empty my chamber pot in your next life, I still couldn't turn you back into normal people."

Her tone was almost cruelly indifferent as she leaned slightly closer to Shuying's suddenly dimmed eyes and whispered, "Besides... how do you know you'll definitely have a 'next life'?"

The light in Shuying's eyes suddenly flickered, the last trace of blood drained away, and his whole body seemed to have had its spine removed, collapsing limply. Only a pair of tearful eyes stared intently at Weishengwang in the corner, whose breath was growing weaker and weaker, and despair engulfed him like a tide.

Only suppressed breathing and the imminent silence of impending death filled the cellar.

Time passed little by little.

Suddenly, Wei Shengwang coughed violently, his purplish-black lips moving with difficulty, "Daoist Master... is... there... another... method?"

Xingyu turned her gaze back to his face, which was tense with pain. Her interest deepened, but she remained unhurried. "Oh? How do you know?"

“You said…you can’t…go…back…to…a…normal…person…” Each word was uttered with exhaustion, yet Wei Shengwang’s gaze remained fixed on her youthful yet utterly calm face.

Xingyu gave a soft "heh." As expected of a prime minister who could stand firm in the court, even on the verge of death, his mind was still so sharp, accurately grasping the subtle nuance in her words.

The book shadow lying beside the corpse suddenly gleamed with hope again in its eyes.

"Indeed, I can save you and let you live as monsters."

Wei Shengwang's pupils contracted slightly, but he did not speak immediately. He simply tried his best to stay awake and waited for her to continue.

But Shuying, lacking in temperament, felt her heart sink to the bottom once again.

“Unlike the zombies outside, you will retain your sanity, move freely, and even become stronger.”

Xingyu's gaze swept over the two of them. "But the price is that you will be tormented by intense 'hunger' forever. And the food you crave most..." She paused, then said, word by word, "is 'human beings'."
