Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1298: Chapter 1278: Poisoned by Thousand Days Drunk

Luo Qianqian opened her eyes, whispering thanks, her expression taking on an icy edge.

”It seems, I’m still too easy to talk to?” Luo Qianqian’s voice carried a chill, sending a slight shiver down one’s spine.

Yan looked at Luo Qianqian: ”Do you know who it is?”

The expression was filled with strangeness; if Luo Qianqian knew, why would she willingly be poisoned?

Luo Qianqian nodded, taking a deep breath: ”It’s Hua Nianyi.”

Her bed was off-limits to others, even the room-cleaning attendants weren’t allowed to touch it. The only one who had touched it was this woman; not sensing anyone else’s presence had already explained the issue.

”How could it be?” Huangfu Yihui was dumbstruck. Hua Nianyi had been taken care of considerably by Luo Qianqian along this journey, how could she lay a hand on Luo Qianqian?

”How should I know?” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes in annoyance: ”Aren’t you going to put me down?”

Huangfu Yihui was startled, quickly placing her on the bed. He was silent for a moment before his face flushed slightly with embarrassment.

Having just detoxified, Luo Qianqian was still in a weak state, lacking strength and had only an unused presence left.

”Is it an act?” Luo Qianqian looked at the two of them, pausing for a moment: ”There should be someone else behind this.”

Yan looked at Luo Qianqian silently for a moment, not saying anything as Huangfu Yihui waved his hand repeatedly in refusal: ”Let’s forget it, if you get poisoned again, it won’t be so simple. It’s gentle this time, but next time it might not be.”

”My cat is also not here.” Luo Qianqian looked at Huangfu Yihui, pronouncing each word slowly: ”I don’t feel a bit of tenderness, only a chilling heart.”

She continued, ”I hope you won’t treat me like this.”

Thinking of the people from the Nine Heavens Pavilion, whom she trusted wholeheartedly, but lacked strength to bring them out; besides He Wenyu, others were newly wedded, hesitating to come out?

Feng Xi had both time and strength, but she had to sit guarding the Nine Heavens Pavilion.

It was only inevitable for Luo Qianqian to venture out alone.

”You’re overthinking.” Yan looked at Luo Qianqian calmly: ”At most, I hold an improper desire for you, but you look like an undeveloped bean sprout, truly not to my liking. Besides, harming you brings me no benefit, maybe even losing the Nine Heavens Pavilion’s snack privileges.”

Luo Qianqian gnawed with her baby teeth: ”Am I, a dignified person, worth less than snacks?!”

”That’s reality.” Yan’s expression was calm, glancing at the gritting Luo Qianqian: ”The food is ready, eat it before it gets cold.”

Instantly, Luo Qianqian’s expression restrained at his words, tugging at Huangfu Yihui: ”Quickly, it won’t taste good if it cools down. Help me over, I can still eat a little more.”

The words ’speechless’ were written all over Huangfu Yihui’s face.

Since meeting Luo Qianqian, why did he feel like eating consumed most of his time? Yet he was looking forward to it?

What was once planned as a desireless, calm cultivation turned into an indulgence in food, what was he going to do?

But there was no guilt in his heart. Compared to a life without pursuits, indulging like this was indeed a pursuit.

Carefully unwrapping the dark tin foil, pulling out the sweet potato, it rolled a couple of times on the table before being wrapped and lifted up, peeling off the skin, revealing the bright orange inside, taking a cautious bite, satisfaction spread across her little face.

Smelling the aroma, Huangfu Yihui and Yan couldn’t help but swallow and pick up the sweet potato, mimicked Luo Qianqian eating.

”Not very sweet; once you bite in, you feel the soft texture, yet it’s fragrant, soft, and tastes amazing.” Huangfu Yihui nodded, full of praise. He had tasted such things before, often made into pastries, never with this texture. This clear sweet taste was even rarer.

”Delicious, right? Besides, it has another health benefit.” Luo Qianqian smiled mysteriously at the two.

Neither feared Luo Qianqian’s trickery, as she enjoyed her food the most.

”What is it?” Huangfu Yihui asked courteously.

”It promotes bowel movement.” Therefore, after eating, it’s easier to pass gas.

Luo Qianqian didn’t mention the latter, smiling as she watched them.

Yan looked in surprise at the ordinary food in his hands, having such an effect?

”Then this could be considered a decent medicinal item?” Huangfu Yihui was surprised, never having heard of this before?

”This is food, not medicine. Eating more is good for your body, so dig in.” Luo Qianqian shrugged. Anyway, there weren’t any extras; she’d just cleaned these three for roasting.

After eating, Luo Qianqian calmly waved her hand, and it became clean.

”It’s the first time I’ve seen water used like this, I’ve met others before, but you do it differently.” Watching the water bubble, Huangfu Yihui skillfully washed his hands in it, having grown accustomed to it over time.

”That’s because of your ignorance, just like Yan can start a fire for roasting, quite practical, isn’t it?” Luo Qianqian felt nothing special, having done it so much, she’d gotten used to it. If not bathing, she’d wash up this way.

”Then, I’m less useful... unless I become a gardener, making flowers bloom effortlessly?” For the first time, Huangfu Yihui felt a sense of dissatisfaction with his attributes.

”No need. Look, given a seed, you can draw energy from heaven and earth to make it quickly sprout and grow, wouldn’t it be great for growing vegetables?” Luo Qianqian chuckled, speaking earnestly.

Huangfu Yihui was stunned but never thought of such use. Normally, he used plants to explore surrounding areas, conserving spiritual power and spiritual energy.

Bending his head, reflecting on Luo Qianqian’s words’ feasibility.

Yan, however, was surprised at her words, as Fire Attribute’s extensive use was due to practicality, yet why did wood sound so useful when she said it?

Clearing the trash, Luo Qianqian sat obediently, even though full, still not recovering.

”What do you think, should we act tomorrow? Only knowing a partial truth is quite maddening?” Luo Qianqian looked at Yan; in certain matters, Yan had veto power.

Like issues concerning health.

Huangfu Yihui snapped out of his world, putting aside earlier thoughts, hastily spoke: ”If Shiqi causes trouble tomorrow... what if something like the Seven-day Gut-severing Powder, Lethal Pill, or Three Lifetimes was to appear...”

”Seems a bit off, what’s Three Lifetimes?” Luo Qianqian interjected at Huangfu Yihui’s words.

”Three Lifetimes, a Forbidden Drug of the Snow Palace, within ten days, from youth to old age, reverting back thrice, then the life ends, bloodline exhausted.” Yan calmly explained: ”Only if Snow Palace dared to use Three Lifetimes, the forces would unite against them.”
