Wh…what….?
Mo Qiang's sudden exclamation was t with a surprised gaze from both sides. Even Mo Xifeng was just as surprised as Sun Shi and Chu Manqing, she couldn't understand what her sister ant by that her life depended on whether or not Sun Shi slept or not.
Was this so kind of superstition? The longer Sun Shi slept the longer Mo Qiang's life would be.
Sun Shi thought that Mo Qiang was joking with her and laughed lightly. "Gosh," she said with her eyes closed with a sudden chuckle that left her lips. "You are really good when it cos to joking Miss Qiang."
"I am not joking," Mo Qiang stared at the woman. Her elbows were resting on either side of her knees. She explained in a solemn voice, "Duke Sun, your heartbeat is exceptionally fast and your skin is sallow with dark blue under-eye bags. If I am not wrong your core is overwheld with the work you did in the past few weeks, if I am not wrong then your core is on the verge of exploding. Give or take two days and unless you want to die, I think you should calm down and take a break."
She pointed to Duke Sun's chest and added, "If I am not wrong the centre of your chest is now filled with intricate blue veins because of the amount of blood your heart has to pump. However, no amount of blood is enough for your core that is working strenuously. If this goes on then your heart will fail first followed by your core exploding. It will be a death that will be full of pain—— what's more, I can assure you that the explosion will be one that will take down everyone next to you."
After Sun Shi hugged Huhu, the latter relayed the health condition of Sun Shi to Mo Qiang and even though Huhu was with Sun Shi, it would take at least a week before she could calm down.
And another two weeks before the core would be able to regain its usual functioning.
"WHAT?" Chu Manqing turned to look at Sun Shi, she imdiately took out a handkerchief and said, "Pardon , my lady."
"Hey, what.., wait? You are being too rude! Stop!" Sun Shi made a fuss but with Chu Manqing dodging her attacks, the makeup on her face was wiped clean and no sooner was it wiped, Sun Shi who looked a bit gentle and relaxed turned haggard.
Chu Manqing who didn't expect sothing like this was stunned, the handkerchief in her hand dropped on the floor as she looked at the woman who seed like a sick patient. The guilt in her heart doubled even more, if she had been a bit more careful then she would have known that this was going on, and Sun Shi would not have gotten to this point.
Tears stung in Chu Manqing's eyes as she questioned, "My lady why did you not tell this? I would have helped you."
For Sun Shi who was in her forties to look like she was in her sixties, only the heavens knew just how much cha energy had Sun Shi used in the past few days!
Sun Shi sighed. She thought that she had kept everything under wraps, but never did she think that Mo Qiang would be able to find out the true condition of her core, she raised her head and looked at Mo Qiang before asking, "How did you find out that my core is overwheld?"
Mo Qiang blinked her eyes before pointing at Huhu who was sleeping in Sun Shi's lap, "He told ."
Sun Shi and Chu Manqing looked down at Huhu and seed to have understood why Mo Qiang sent everyone outside. If the rumour that there was a spirit summoner who could calm mania got spread to the outside world, then surely Mo Qiang would be in danger.
To think that Mo Qiang disclosed this information to her.
Sun Shi raised her head and looked at Mo Qiang profoundly. Under her gaze, Mo Qiang stiffened but did not move, as she was not doing anything wrong. She was only trying to save Sun Shi, there was no need for her to lower her head!
"I appreciate your kind gesture but I cannot stay inside my palace when people are dying in my dinsion," Sun Shi was raised as a warrior by her mother, and even though she knew that she might die she wanted to face the dangers head-on. "The Ruby Head Snake will be making its appearance at any mont and I have no ti to sleep."
"You don't have to worry about that," Mo Qiang smiled at Sun Shi confidently. "Since we are here, we will take a look at that damned thing, and see what we can do."
No sooner did she finish speaking, Xiao An along with Xiao Jiao went into high alert mode.
[!!!!]
[What do you an by you will take this job? I thought that I told you to stay put! What are you doing!]
Even Xiao Jiao swooned and almost fainted, she pulled Mo Qiang's strands and screeched, "Refuse it! Say you will not do it!"
If she agreed to this quest, she would die! Mo Qiang cannot die!
"I cannot let you do that," Sun Shi said to Mo Qiang who smiled at her and then said, "Don't worry. If we take on this dangerous task then we will certainly ask for a high price too. However, at this mont you need to take care of yourself."
"But…"
"Please think it through Duke Sun. Your people are important but is Little Xifeng not important to you?" Mo Qiang questioned with a light yet stern voice. "You are the only family other than us left in the world for Mo Xifeng, I understand that you couldn't rip another one for that bastard—— I an, I understand you cannot touch her father but you can still keep yourself alive and stay next to Xifeng, right? Or is it too much to ask?"
