Chapter 266: I Have a Thousand Ways to Make You Beg for Death

The backlash from the incomplete formation wouldn’t immediately kill Ruan Shi and Yaya, but the two lay on the ground, barely clinging to life, looking as if they were on the brink of death.

Daxisipo instructed Huai Geer to lay Yamei’er flat, and she began to examine Yamei’er’s condition.

Initially, Daxisipo’s expression was grave, but after feeling Yamei’er’s pulse, her expression softened slightly, and she said with some surprise, “…Yamei’er has been taking Soul-Severing Grass daily. I thought it would be more difficult to handle, but it seems there’s a gentle medicinal force within her body, protecting a trace of her consciousness. This makes the situation much more manageable.”

Daxisipo carefully felt Yamei’er’s pulse again, and recalling something from the gentle medicinal force within Yamei’er, she raised an eyebrow and asked Xingxing, “Did you give her the fever-reducing medicine I gave you?”

Xingxing nodded somewhat cluelessly, “Earlier, when Yaya had a fever, I gave it to her.”

A hint of a smile appeared in Daxisipo’s eyes, “You’re quite the giver… It seems it was her fate to have this luck.”

Hearing that it was good luck, though Xingxing didn’t fully understand, she saw Daxisipo’s expression and the mention of luck, and tears of excitement welled up in her eyes, “Grandma Daxi, is Yaya going to be okay?”

Daxisipo snorted arrogantly, “Who do you think made the medicine?”

Xingxing cheered and hugged Daxisipo’s waist, rubbing her little face against her, “Grandma Daxi’s medical skills are unmatched! Truly the best!”

Daxisipo pushed Xingxing’s little head away with a finger, her lips curling slightly.

Daxisipo reached out and took the small pouch Xingxing carried, feeling inside, and clicked her tongue, “There’s quite a bit less of the medicine.”

Xingxing’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Daxisipo, “Yes, there were a few emergencies before, and it was the medicine Grandma Daxi gave me that saved lives. Grandma Daxi’s medical skills are truly the best in the world!”

Daxisipo was initially displeased, but seeing Xingxing’s adoring gaze and hearing her words… Daxisipo snorted, her expression softening. Though still somewhat dissatisfied, she only scolded lightly, “You sure know how to flatter!”

Daxisipo rummaged through Xingxing’s pouch and finally picked out two pills, frowning slightly, still not entirely satisfied, “…I’ll replenish it for you later.”

Having lived a solitary life, she now, in her later years, had taken in Xingxing and naturally wanted to plan more for her.

Daxisipo snapped out of her thoughts and quickly administered the two pills to Yamei’er.

Xingxing watched Daxisipo with a mix of nervousness and hope, asking softly, “…Will Yaya get better?”

Daxisipo glanced at Xingxing and gave a curt “Hmm.”

Xingxing visibly brightened, “Then, when will Yaya wake up?”

Daxisipo grew impatient, “She’ll wake up when it’s time.”

Xingxing obediently said, “Oh.”

She was already used to Grandma Daxi’s temper.

She also knew that Daxisipo might seem harsh with her words, but she was actually very kind and cared for her deeply! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have given her a pouch of medicine for protection!

Huai Geer asked Daxisipo, “What should we do with those two?”

He was referring to Ruan Shi and Yaya, who were lying on the ground, barely breathing.

Daxisipo sneered.

In her opinion, they should just leave the two there to fend for themselves.

After all, they probably didn’t have many days left.

But Daxisipo glanced at the unconscious Yamei’er on the ground and Xingxing, who was squatting beside Yamei’er, her hands on her cheeks, looking worried. She paused, frowned, and said, “…Since these two tried to harm this little girl, let’s take them back and see how her elders want to deal with them.”

Huai Geer and Xingxing naturally had no objections.

Xingxing suddenly remembered something, let out an "Ah!" and looked tense.

"Oh no!" Xingxing stood up abruptly. "Grandma is still waiting for us at home!"

Xingxing finally remembered that she had come to call Daxisipo to their house for the Winter Festival!

...

Daxisipo finally grumbled and gave Ruan Shi and Yaya each a pill.

Ruan Shi, lying on the ground, barely alive, saw Daxisipo holding a black pill and trying to stuff it into her mouth. She was terrified and tried to dodge, but she couldn't escape, and Daxisipo forced the pill into her mouth.

Ruan Shi coughed violently, trying desperately to expel the pill from her throat.

Daxisipo sneered, "The pill dissolves as soon as it hits your tongue. You might as well give up."

The pill was meant to calm and energize. If it weren't for the need to quickly bring this mother and daughter back to Nantuo Village and prevent them from dying on the way, she wouldn't have wasted her precious pills!

Daxisipo did the same and forced a pill into Yaya's mouth as well.

Ruan Shi glared at Daxisipo with resentment.

At this point, she knew all her plans had failed.

Because of them, she and her daughter wouldn't live much longer!

As if reading Ruan Shi's thoughts, Daxisipo sneered, "You won't live long, but before you die, I have a thousand ways to make you wish for death. If you don't believe me, you can try."

Ruan Shi caught a glimpse of cruelty on Daxisipo's face and shivered. She realized in horror that the other party might not be lying...

In the end, Huai Geer carried the still unconscious Yamei'er, escorted the barely walking Ruan Shi and Yaya who had taken the pills, and hurried back to Nantuo Village with Daxisipo and Xingxing.

By then, the sky had already darkened, and the Yujia family was getting anxious, preparing to go out to look for Huai Geer and Xingxing.

Just as the Yujia family was about to go out to search, they happened to meet Yamei'er's father, who ran to the Yujia family in a panic, asking if they had seen Yamei'er.

Although the two families had had their differences before, on such a cold Winter Festival day, with the children missing for so long, the adults couldn't care less about their previous grievances.

As they were discussing going out together to look for the children, they heard the Yujia maid cheering, "They're back! The Young Master and the young mistress are back!"

Wei Pozi and the rest of the Yujia family were overjoyed and rushed out.

Yamei'er's father was also eager to ask Xingxing if she had seen Yamei'er and ran out quickly.

When the group arrived outside, they were all stunned by the scene before them.

"Grandma! Grandpa!"

It was Xingxing who broke the stalemate—she excitedly called out to Wei Pozi and Yu Laotou and ran towards them.

Wei Pozi hugged Xingxing and patted her little head. Even she had many questions to ask at this moment.

Not to mention Yamei'er's father—

Yamei'er's father had already regained his composure and, without bothering to ask why Ruan Shi's hands were tied, anxiously called out for Yaya and rushed to Huai Geer.

—Huai Geer was holding the unconscious Yamei'er in his arms.
