Chapter 852: Chapter 852 - Lingering Fear

Mr. Li walked over slowly and grabbed my hand. He frowned when he saw the wound on it.

Jing Tian immediately became nervous. “What’s wrong?”

Mr. Li said, “Fortunately, it bit her left arm.”

“What’s wrong with her left arm?” Jing Tian was puzzled. This person had completely forgotten what I had just said.

Mr. Li thought that I hadn’t told him, so he explained patiently, “The blood on Nanxing’s left body is poisonous, and the blood on her right is medicine.”

Jing Tian glanced at me, thinking he remembered what I had said.

Jing Tian frowned immediately. “Mr. Li, how is this possible? The blood on her left and right side can’t be independent. How does it circulate?”

Mr. Li narrowed his eyes, showing a slight smile. “You’re smarter than those two silly girls. They didn’t even think to ask me this question.”

He pulled Jing Tian to the side in front of the human skeleton. He gestured and explained, “Her blood exchange is in the heart. So, you must remember that her heart is the most critical location. You must protect it well. All the functional replacement of her body depends on her heart.”

Jing Tian listened with a grave expression. I pulled him away impatiently.

“The key now is not how I’m alive. It’s who this little snake’s target is! Did you see it with your own eyes? Or did you just hear it from Auntie Lan and Lin Nan? Was this little snake going to attack Aunt Lan or Lin Nan?”

Jing Tian was stunned for a moment and didn’t say anything.

I snorted. “You definitely didn’t see it with your own eyes. You must have heard about it.”

Jing Tian couldn’t continue.

Mr. Li said, “What will happen if this snake bites Mrs. Jing? What will happen if it bites Lin Nan?”

Both of us were stunned.

Mr. Li said, “I don’t know what the two of you are up to again. Your brains are down, and you can’t even analyze the problem. Lin Nan is now a little fool. What’s the point if she was bitten or not?

“If Lin Hua can’t curry favor with both sides and pull the Lin family out of the mire, then I reckon that both of them will be expelled from the Lin family. The Lin family still wants to use them to turn things around, so they won’t resort to such a method. Isn’t it obvious that they’re here for Mrs. Jing?”

I hurriedly nodded.

Jing Tian said in a deep voice, “Tong Zhuo’s target has always been Nanxing. Today, the Jing family came over under the pretext of discussing my father’s birthday. They just happened to catch up with this matter, so it doesn’t seem like they knew about it beforehand.”

Mr. Li nodded. “Well, look at this. You’re finally thinking. You’re so lovey-dovey that you don’t think about serious matters anymore. It’s really infuriating!”

Jing Tian averted his gaze, feeling a little ashamed.

I’ve always been thick-skinned, and I said righteously, “Of course, we have to fall in love while we’re young. Otherwise, we won’t have a partner when we’re old. Like you, you can only take in disciples! If your disciples are disobedient, you can use them to vent your anger!”

Mr. Li reached out his hand and was about to hit me. “Little Brat, how dare you?”

I immediately ran behind Jing Tian. Jing Tian hurriedly said, “Sir! I’ll teach her a lesson for you!”

Mr. Li withdrew his hand resentfully. He pointed at me and said, “You’re lucky that…”

“I know it’s because of Jing Tian!” I quickly changed the topic and didn’t let him tell Jing Tian that he was sparing me because I was pregnant.

Mr. Li glanced at Jing Tian with a strange expression and then at me. He seemed to be blaming me for not telling Jing Tian.

I chuckled. “Master, can you make an antidote for this little snake? I’m afraid there’s more to come.”
