Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1718: Chapter 1712: The Angry Qin Xue

“What? Afraid I’ll poison you?” Qin Xue raised an eyebrow. If she truly intended to act, she would have done it long ago—why wait until now?

“Hmph.” The tall man seethed with suppressed anger. Being beaten so easily by that man was bad enough, but now this woman had to pull this stunt. They say the most venomous is a woman’s heart, and that’s absolutely true.

“You really won’t eat it?” Qin Xue looked at the tall man. This was something good, but it was up to him to decide whether to take it or not.

“No.” The tall man glared at Qin Xue. Who knew what kind of thing she was trying to make him eat?

“Truly clueless.” Qin Xue turned to Chu Molin. “Open your mouth. While this doesn’t hold much use for you now, it can still help replenish your body.” Ignoring the tall man’s refusal, Qin Xue placed the pill directly into Chu Molin’s mouth, right in front of the tall man.

“Though I took my anger out on you, don’t you feel any changes in your body now?” Qin Xue stood up and looked down at the tall man with an imposing air.

The tall man, hearing her words, stood up and moved his body. His heart was filled with shock.

“I mentioned before—my son believes neither of you have fully crossed the line to evil and wants you to accompany him. I don’t expect you to do much—just like the others—to serve as his personal bodyguards. Food and accommodations will be provided, and you won’t have to risk your lives with constant violence. So? What do you say?” Qin Xue had just helped open his meridians.

When her son expressed interest in having people by his side, Qin Xue decided to find a couple of personal bodyguards for him, to avoid situations like this from happening again.

At the same time, this was a way for her to show the tall man that she had plenty of methods at her disposal—it was just a matter of whether she wanted to use them. By unblocking his meridians, not only would his martial arts training progress faster, but he also wouldn’t be troubled by the former sense of obstruction. In a way, this could be considered a favor to him, with the hope that he could protect Yu Ze along with Big Head.

Initially, Qin Xue had intended to make the tall man wish for death, but after seeing how trustful Big Head was of the tall man—how his concern was genuinely heartfelt—she thought that perhaps the man wasn’t as irredeemable as he seemed. Therefore, she decided to test him, and to her surprise, he turned out to have some backbone. That’s why her intention shifted to punishing him, using silver needles as part of her discipline.

To those unfamiliar with acupuncture points, her actions might seem cruel and vindictive. However, those who truly understood would know what she was doing. Even Chu Molin didn’t comprehend, as Qin Xue hadn’t taught him this aspect yet—his ignorance was perfectly normal.

Nangong Beiying could see through it, though, which is why she commented that Qin Xue had vented the hatred from her past life alongside her current anger.

“Don’t you hate me for taking your son away? Then why do all of this?” The tall man asked, confused by her motives.

“Haven’t I already explained? My son has taken an interest in you two. It’s his desire not to harm you, so it’s not like I’m doing this out of kindness.” Earlier, Yu Ze only wanted Big Head, but knowing that Big Head followed the tall man so faithfully, letting Big Head accompany him alone was impossible. Thus, Yu Ze decided to also bring the tall man along.

However, Yu Ze knew the tall man was a stubborn person. Unless someone treated him exceptionally well or had deeply benefited him, there was no chance he would agree. And so, Qin Xue worked to open his meridians under the guise of venting her emotions.

In Qin Xue’s mind, since she couldn’t vent her anger directly, she decided to let him experience the misery of wishing for death instead.

Surprisingly, the tall man proved exceptionally resilient. Even in such a situation, he never begged for mercy. As Qin Xue continued unblocking his meridians, Chu Molin’s voice snapped her out of the trance of her mounting fury, clearing her thoughts. If not for that, the tall man would undoubtedly have been tormented to the point of regretting his existence.
