"Cao Zhui is already dying. When we left this place, he barely holds on." The man left this place when he received ssage that Chen Yuan appointed another person as the Master. This also ant that he had lost his previous duties and had to return as soon as possible.
"Nan Xin is still hanging on, but she might not be able to last long."
Nan Hua nodded.
She walked deeper. The light dimd even more as there was barely any lantern left, but the darkness was not exactly a problem for Nan Hua. She easily went through a few turns before she finally noticed the last two rooms.
The two rooms were made crudely and their door was also nothing more than a large stone that was used to block it. This would make it look as if the caves had simply fell in and trapped them inside.
Truly, a good disguise.
Nan Hua was not here to bother with this matter, though.
She looked at one of them and saw a corpse of a man curling up at the corner. From the way it looked like, he had died not long ago. Presumably within a few hours until a day's ti.
"Bring his body to Zhang Family and burn it there."
"Yes, Master."
The blood poison was made by making these people ingested poisonous plant for a long period of ti until their own blood alone contained enough poison to be made into poison. But at the sa ti, the poison would have destroyed their organs from inside little by little.
So people had higher poison resistance and could withstand it for a much longer ti.
But so others couldn't withstand the huge intake of poison and ended up dying very quickly.
Thunk!
The sound of the rock rolling to the side could be heard.
Nan Hua entered the dark cave and could see Nan Xin curling up at the side. By this ti, she had long lost her previous appearance. She was so thin, with barely any strength left inside her body. Her clothes were dirty, but there was nothing else that she could use to cover herself either.
She simply curled up there, dozing off.
When the rock moved to the side, Nan Xin's body trembled instinctively. She couldn't see who was coming and her chapped lips opened before closing again. Her eyes were filled with fear and despair.
"No… more…."
Her voice was hoarse.
She had long lost her health and beauty. By now, she was nothing more than a pile of bones.
Nan Xin was already on the verge of death.
Nan Hua crouched down beside Nan Xin and took her pulse. The result was terrifyingly bad. It has been a long ti since Nan Xin was exposed to poison and it had long accumulated inside her body. Many of her organs were already failing and so didn't even function properly.
It was a miracle for her to be able to stay alive until now.
With her dical capabilities, Nan Hua knew very well that she was incapable of saving Nan Xin. She could at most prolong Nan Xin's life for a few more days. And that was with her having to be careful of the possibility dicine clashing within Nan Xin's body.
She needed to take Nan Xin's blood to analyze the poisons' properties and properly identified them.
If she gave the wrong dicine, Nan Xin would imdiately die.
"Do you want to live?"
This question again.
Nan Xin's eyes were filled with despair when she heard the sa question repeated again. She didn't know who the person in front of her was and could no longer recognize her voices. All that she knew was that the person in front of her was not the one who usually ca.
The one who usually ca was a man.
But this person was a woman.
Does she want to live?
If the question was asked a long ti ago, Nan Xin's answer would definitely be a big yes. She wanted to live. That was the sole reason why she didn't care about her family mbers and even decided to sacrifice them.
But after experiencing that hell in that place, Nan Xin kept on feeling that everything was unfair. Other people could live well and experienced beautiful life. anwhile, she was tortured to death and had to serve those people.
She felt imnse relief when she managed to get away.
At that ti, she swore that she would figure out a way to run away and made sure that she would be able to stay alive. She wanted to prove that even when she was at her end, she could still rise up.
But reality slapped her hard.
She t with a person she couldn't fight back and had to stay in this damn place for such a long ti.
Nan Xin could no longer rember how many tis she wished to get out. But there was simply no chance for her to do so.
She had to stay here.
Eat the poison, have her blood drawn and then continued to be locked up.
Ti passed.
And Nan Xin didn't know the difference between days and night. She didn't know how long she had been in this place and what had happened in the outside world while she was here.
All that she knew was that she felt extrely tired.
"No… I don't want to live." Nan Xin just wanted to die. But she couldn't even kill herself. These people forced her to eat and drink just enough to allow her to live, yet it wouldn't give her any chance to resist.
Nan Hua glanced at Nan Xin and dropped a knife beside Nan Xin's body.
"You're free now."
Nan Xin was stunned.
She struggled to get up and saw that the person who talked to her had left. Her eyes landed at the knife on the ground. Slowly, Nan Xin picked it up and stabbed it to her own stomach.
Thud.
Nan Xin looked into a distance as she could feel her life fading away. She closed her eyes. She felt very tired. At the very least, she wanted to choose her own ending, no matter how miserable it was.
