Chapter 327: One Day Intestine-Severing Pill

Chapter 327: One Day Intestine-Severing Pill

Bai Huanqin couldn't even control her own saliva at this point, let alone a melt-in-the-mouth pill!

The pill dissolved like water in her mouth.

Bai Huanqin's eyes widened in terror, but she could no longer speak. She could only utter broken sounds like “ah, ah, ah.”

Bai Rong felt his scalp tingle and a chill run down his spine. "Isn't that not the antidote?!"

If it were the antidote, why go through the extra trouble?

Liu Ge'er smiled slightly. "Correct, that is not the antidote. It's my sister's exclusive secret concoction, the One Day Intestine-Severing Pill. Just from the name, you can tell how potent this medicine is! Without the antidote, within a day, one will surely suffer from internal bleeding and die a gruesome death!"

The panic in Bai Huanqin's eyes was obvious!

She frantically tried to say something, but she couldn't control her limbs or the muscles in her face, only able to emit meaningless "ah, ah" sounds.

Bai Rong felt as if he was about to vomit blood. "How dare you?!"

Liu Ge'er sneered. "How dare I? Your arrows are pointed at my family, and you're asking me how dare I? Let me tell you, even if you kill us all, your so-called Marquis Manor Miss will accompany us to the underworld, so we won't be alone—though I can't guarantee you'll keep your heads. Perhaps we'll meet again on the road to the afterlife and keep each other company!"

Bai Rong was trembling with shock, fear, and rage, unable to speak.

"Aren't you afraid that we'll seize and torture you all…" Bai Rong forced out through clenched teeth.

Liu Ge'er remained calm and indifferent. "I don't care. As I said before, with your Marquis Manor Miss accompanying us to hell, it's somewhat bearable—though I can't say for sure if you'll keep your heads."

Bai Rong's body trembled even more.

Bai Huanqin's eyes were filled with fear, and she was utterly unable to speak.

Bai Rong gritted his teeth and demanded, "What do you want!"

Liu Ge'er said, "Make those dogs of yours put down their bows and arrows and let us leave safely. In the evening, I'll send the antidote over to you!"

Bai Rong flatly refused, "No way! What if you go back on your word and don't give us the antidote?"

Liu Ge'er sneered lightly, "Do you think we're like you, people who hold power over life and death? If we're safe, what would we want with a worthless life?"

Bai Rong forced himself to calm down and think. He had to admit, Liu Ge'er had a point.

The villagers of Nantuo Village, apart from the time they blocked off the mountain, usually didn't cause any trouble. Previously, the villagers had even sought the help of the officials to resolve the mountain-sealing issue, which showed that the authorities still held some authority over them.

But Bai Rong didn't dare to take that risk. Gritting his teeth, he compromised, "...Give us the antidote, and this time, it had better be the real antidote! Once my younger miss is back to normal, we'll let you go!"

Liu Ge'er scoffed, "Are you joking? Just now, your lady was still trying to kill people even when she was on the ground. It's clear she's a violent person at heart. I think it'd be better if we give you the antidote after we've safely returned to the village."

Bai Rong's face stiffened. "Impossible—without the antidote, none of you are walking out of here!"

"Fine." Liu Ge'er looked completely unconcerned and even smiled slightly. "Then we'll just sit here and wait for the Day-Long Intestine-Severing Poison to take effect in your Second Miss's body."

Bai Rong was furious and anxious!

He swore that if he had a knife right now, he'd cut this guy down!

But he didn't have a knife—

He could only tremble with anger, the blue veins on his forehead about to burst.

"This way—" Liu Ge'er suddenly said, "I can make one final concession. You assign a guard to accompany us, and once we safely return to Nantuo Village, we'll give the antidote to that guard."

Bai Rong opened his mouth, but Liu Ge'er's gaze shot over like a swift blade, "Otherwise, we'll just wait for your young miss to suffer the effects of the One-Day Intestine-Severing Pill!"

Bai Rong clenched his teeth in frustration before finally squeezing out a single word, "Deal!"

Before leaving, Bai Ge'er remembered something and pulled out a five hundred taels bank note.

It was the same one that Bai Huanqin had tossed down as reparation.

Originally, they had planned to wreck the Lin Yang Marquis's estate for a total of five thousand taels!

But now, Bai Ge'er felt that five thousand taels was too much for them.

They weren't worthy of it!

It would be an insult to the money!

Bai Ge'er took the five hundred taels bank note that Bai Huanqin had dropped and threw it back at her as if it were trash, before taking Xingxing's hand and leaving with the Yujia family.

Bai Huanqin was fuming!

……

It wasn't until they had walked far away from the Lin Yang Marquis's estate that many of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The villagers from Nantuo Village hadn't expected that they'd actually encounter people who didn't care about human lives. They were still shaken by the experience.

Grandfather Liu had already decided to write a letter as soon as he returned, detailing everything that the Lin Yang Marquis's estate had done, and send it to the emperor!

"Thank you everyone for standing by us today," Bai Ge'er said, "Everyone has gone through a lot. Tonight, I'll have people hand-deliver red envelopes to each household as a small thank-you from the Yujia family."

The villagers, who had been trembling with fear, felt a little embarrassed when they heard Bai Ge'er speak so generously, and waved their hands, "We didn't help for any reward..."

Bai Ge'er said gently, "Of course. But since you all helped us with such enthusiasm, we naturally want to thank you. Please don't refuse. Consider it a gesture of gratitude, a little something to calm your nerves."

Bai Ge'er's words were gracious and generous, and now that they were away from the danger of the arrows, the villagers from Nantuo Village relaxed, most of them smiling, "You're too kind, old Yujia family..."

After returning, Bai Ge'er instructed his servant to prepare the red envelopes. He made sure to include everyone who had come to help from the village, as well as the servants from the Liu family villa, and ended up preparing a hundred thick red envelopes.

……

It wasn't until they reached the entrance of Nantuo Village that the guard who had been following them could no longer hold back and demanded the antidote. Liu Ge'er faked a search in Xingxing's small fragrant pouch and pulled out a pill, tossing it to the guard.

The guard scrambled to catch it.

"Go. After taking this pill, make sure to bathe in hot water for half an hour to help your body expel the toxins faster."

The guard didn't dare miss a single word, silently repeating it three times in his mind to remember it, before rushing back with the pill in hand. Xingxing hadn't dared to say anything along the way, afraid of giving away their secret. But now that the guard was gone, she immediately grabbed Liu Ge'er's hand and chirped, "Third Brother, you're amazing! You even came up with a One-Day Intestine-Severing Pill... But that was just an ordinary pill I use to boost my blood and energy."
