After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 24 Headache

At this moment, Miao Lanyi was in a sorry state, but without the pain and torment, she was able to rethink the situation before her.

She simply hadn't expected to encounter such a powerful expert here at Lianyun Mountain, leaving her utterly powerless to resist.

Just now, the other party only gave her half an antidote pill, and the antidote effect was not complete. She only regained a little bit of strength, just enough for her to sit up and reply.

As for wanting to retaliate, she currently lacks the strength to do so.

The other party could easily control her life and death, but she couldn't die here, and that was what caused Miao Lanyi's pain.

Furthermore, the venomous snakes and insects she had just placed around as a precaution had all disappeared, unable to cause the slightest harm to the person in front of her. They might even have been dealt with by the other party, which made Miao Lanyi even more fearful and desperate.

Knowing she had no other choice, Miao Lanyi frowned slightly, pondering how to answer the question posed by the person in front of her.

However, Miao Lanyi quickly recalled a crucial word from Lü Xinyan's words, which made her understand something, but also shocked her even more.

This person is Lü Xinyan, who was kicked out of the Yuan family, and is the biological younger sister of Lü Muren, who was just poisoned by snake venom.

But she had clearly heard that Lü Xinyan was just a sheltered young woman, weak and incompetent, with only a little business acumen and no other skills. Yet now, Lü Xinyan was standing right in front of her, poisoning her and leaving her powerless to resist!

This must be a mistake!

The Yuan family underestimated Lü Xinyan's abilities, thinking she was timid and incapable of great responsibility. However, Lü Xinyan's abilities proved to be far superior to theirs, far surpassing their own.

Realizing she was doomed this time, Miao Lanyi could no longer resist and could only dejectedly ask, "Are you Lü Xinyan? I really didn't expect you to be so capable, managing to fool the Yuan family."

"If they knew you actually had such amazing skills, they'd probably either worship you or let me show off my limited abilities here."

“Since you used the Heart-Severing and Bone-Corroding Powder and have a special antidote to deal with my poisonous snakes and insects, you must know my true identity.”

At this point, Miao Lanyi became even more dejected, but she still continued, "That's right, I am a Gu worm master from Southern Chu, and my name is Miao Lanyi."

"This time, I entered Daliang openly from Nanchu with a travel permit in order to find some medicinal herbs that I need in Daliang."

"Another point, you guessed right, I was indeed hired by the Yuan family, which is why I came to Lianyun Mountain, stayed here, and was going to take action against the Lü family, causing them all to die in an accident."

"That's what they asked for. I'm just doing this for money, in exchange for some medicinal herbs from the Yuan family."

Miao Lanyi was well aware that although she was doing things for money, she had indeed hurt the Lü family, and this grudge had been sown and would not be easily resolved.

However, the Yuan family are hired behind the scenes, and Miao Lanyi will not bear all the burdens alone.

Moreover, facing a formidable expert like Lü Xinyan, there was no point in her concealing the truth.

After a moment of silence, Miao Lanyi continued, "Since you already know all this and still have the ability to resolve it, you should have already saved your elder brother, right?"

"Now that I'm in your hands, what else do you want to know? Ask away, and I'll tell you everything I know."

"Since you were able to overpower me, it shows how capable you are. I admit defeat and will do whatever you want with me!"

Although she felt extremely unwilling and regretful, after saying these words, Miao Lanyi closed her eyes and waited for her final fate to arrive, waiting to be dealt with by Lü Xinyan.

After learning the whole story from Miao Lanyi's words, Lü Xinyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the younger brother's background is not exposed, and the older brother's life is saved and no other harm is caused, everything else can be handled.

Looking at Miao Lanyi, who was closing her eyes and waiting to die, Lü Xinyan suddenly smiled indifferently and said, "I don't necessarily need to take your life."

"Knowing that the Yuan family hired you, and that things are still under control for the time being, you should naturally pay the price. But the Yuan family is also involved!"

"Now that you're in my hands, I'll make sure you have a good place to go!"

As she spoke, Lü Xinyan took out another pill and flicked it directly into Miao Lanyi's mouth.

Miao Lanyi, who had her eyes closed, suddenly felt something was wrong. A pill was flicked into her mouth, and she was startled. She tried to spit the pill out, but it was too late.

The pill melted instantly in her mouth and began to take effect immediately, making Miao Lanyi's head feel like it was about to explode. She felt a throbbing pain in her temples, each throbbing feeling as if her blood vessels were about to burst. This level of pain was no less than the pain all over her body and the abdominal cramps she had just experienced. Miao Lanyi couldn't help but cover her head and pound her head with her fists, trying to relieve the headache, but to no avail.

Clenching her teeth in pain, Miao Lanyi squinted and glared angrily at Lü Xinyan, trembling as she questioned, "What poison did you just feed me?"

What do you want me to do?

"I never expected you to be so cunning and vicious, possessing such powerful methods to poison me repeatedly!"

Meeting Miao Lanyi's angry gaze, Lü Xinyan gave a faint sneer, shook her head, and said, "So what if you know? You've already been poisoned by two kinds of poison. Each one is enough to make you suffer unbearable pain when it takes effect. The only way for you to survive is to beg me for the antidote."

"From now on, you can only get the antidote and alleviate your pain by following my orders."

"Otherwise, you certainly don't want to experience dying by your own guts ruptured, your bone marrow rotting, or your head throbbing and you running into a wall."

At this point, Lü Xinyan revealed a devilish smile, met Miao Lanyi's increasingly terrified gaze, and continued, "Now that I've managed to give you a new poison, do you think you still have a chance to play tricks on me?"

"You dared to harm my elder brother and take his life, so you'll have to pay the price!"

"But don't worry, I won't let you die easily. I also know that you Gu worm masters cannot commit suicide. No matter how painful it is, you have to keep enduring it. You won't die!"

"As for what I need you to do, you are definitely capable of doing it."
