Chapter 1048: Chapter 1044: Unless You Kill Me!

The woman suddenly awoke, wondering when she had become so sentimental.

”No, no, I just...” the woman stammered for a moment, unable to come up with a reasonable explanation, and had to forcibly change the topic: ”How are you feeling now?”

Xiao Tian wasn’t too concerned about it. Feeling much of his strength return, he clenched his fist and said, ”Much better, I want to go out for a bit now.”

The purpose of going out, of course, was to determine his own location and to inquire about where Kojima Minako was.

Although she wished to kill him, she was his lifesaver, so he couldn’t just disregard her emotionally or rationally.

As for the poison of the Ice Soul Needle, Xiao Tian had heard of it before, but he would have to examine it further to know if it could be cured.

However, upon hearing Xiao Tian’s request, the woman immediately refused without a second thought: ”In your current condition, it’s best not to move. Just let me know if you need anything.”

Xiao Tian sneered, ”What if I need to go to the bathroom?”

The woman calmly walked aside, took out something that looked like a clay pot, and said, ”You can handle it inside. If you need help, I can assist you...” Her voice became softer, her face flushed, and she lowered her head deeply.

Xiao Tian couldn’t help but be speechless; she was treating him like a paralyzed person, and if this continues, how could he endure?

”I’m really fine now. If you don’t believe me, I’ll take a couple of steps to show you.” With that, Xiao Tian attempted to get up.

As expected, he was intercepted by the woman again, who was very determined and refused to let him move freely.

...

After a long time, Xiao Tian finally convinced the woman, with his eloquence and excellent body language, to reluctantly believe he could indeed move independently.

However, even so, the woman strongly insisted on accompanying him and strictly limited the range and duration of his activities, giving Xiao Tian a complete experience of being restrained.

However, Xiao Tian didn’t suspect the woman was following to monitor him; it was clear from her eyes, and besides, the middle-aged person wouldn’t be foolish enough to sabotage him before rescuing Ozawa Miwa.

After they agreed, the two walked side by side towards the door. As soon as they opened it, they were greeted by a vast sea of trees, red maple leaves filling their view, offering a particularly comforting feeling at dusk, lifting their spirits considerably!

It was evident that this place was used by the royal family for the rehabilitation of the wounded. The layout outside was very lifelike, and if it weren’t winter, it would indeed seem almost genuine.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Tian stepped outside, but as soon as he took a step, his other foot remained inside the threshold, frozen as if hit by a Body Fixation Technique, standing still without moving!

The woman was startled, looking around, finding that Xiao Tian didn’t seem to have a relapse but rather appeared to be captivated by something.

Curious, the woman followed Xiao Tian’s gaze and saw a woman sitting in a wheelchair.

The woman wore all black like ink, her skin pale, her face as beautiful as a fairy from a painting. Although she was just sitting there quietly, she exuded the presence of a solitary mountain, with an overwhelming sense of oppression.

However, the flaw was that her eyes lacked much spirit, almost like an empty shell... precisely Kojima Minako, who had taken the Ice Soul Needle for Xiao Tian.

After a brief daze, Xiao Tian walked slowly to Kojima Minako’s side on the wheelchair, his eyes filled with complexity, but he still said, ”Thank you this time!”

Hearing Xiao Tian’s thanks, Kojima Minako still looked lost, coldly spitting out a single word: ”Leave!”

Xiao Tian wasn’t angry. He bent down, about to grab Kojima Minako’s wrist to check how far the poison of the Ice Soul Needle had spread and see if he could cure it.

However, just as Xiao Tian was about to grab Kojima Minako, a cold gleam appeared in her eyes, and her aura began to surge, ready to attack at any moment.

”Don’t!” Xiao Tian shouted hastily, withdrawing his arm, not because he feared Kojima Minako would hurt him.

In fact, given Kojima Minako’s current state, if she tried to attack, she couldn’t hurt a hair on Xiao Tian, and would only risk her own life; her legs were proof enough.

This prompted Xiao Tian, who intended to have a peaceful conversation, to abandon his plans immediately and said sternly, ”If you wanted to kill me so much, why did you risk yourself? This life is yours to take if you wish to reclaim it!”

As those words were spoken, the woman at his side couldn’t help but panic. She was responsible for overseeing Xiao Tian, and with the importance the middle-aged person placed on him, should anything happen to Xiao Tian, her fate was obvious.

However, when she tried to step forward to pull Xiao Tian away, she found that he had immobilized her just ahead, leaving her unable to move a single finger.

For a moment, anxiety and regret filled her eyes, yet she was completely unable to stop Xiao Tian’s reckless actions, nearly driven to tears from the frustration.

...

Ignoring the woman’s response, Xiao Tian stood in front of Kojima Minako, calmly saying, ”If you truly want to kill me, then do it!”

With that said, he closed his eyes, adopting a demeanor of readiness to accept any consequence.

However, after a while, what Xiao Tian waited for was not a deadly attack from Kojima Minako but rather the feeling of the intense aura around slowly dissipating.

Opening his eyes, Xiao Tian faced Kojima Minako’s cold expression and gaze, and said, ”I don’t want to talk about any misunderstandings between us, nor do I want to explain much. In any case, I owe you a life.”

”Heh...” Kojima Minako sneered, ”Such words coming from you are the biggest joke of all.”

Xiao Tian sighed and then said, ”Since you won’t kill me and you took the Ice Soul Needle for me, I have an obligation to remove the poison from you.”

”There’s no need!” Kojima Minako flatly refused, seeming to disregard Xiao Tian’s claim of being able to detoxify the Ice Soul Needle, apparently not believing it from the heart.

”Unless you kill me, I will cure your poison!” Xiao Tian said resolutely, grabbing Kojima Minako’s wrist, and then his Perception Power spread out, earnestly searching for the poison of the Ice Soul Needle, as if genuinely unafraid she might retaliate.

This rogue tactic from Xiao Tian enraged Kojima Minako, causing her to grit her teeth and struggle, trying to break free of Xiao Tian’s grip, but the hand on her wrist was like an iron clamp, impossible to shake off.
