Tang Doudou froze and her blade stopped right in front of Grandma Shen. The blade flickered with cold light in the night. A trace of smugness floated up on Grandma Shenâs face, but before she could even fully smile, there was a stab and her face twisted with pain.
âDid you think that I would still believe you?â Tang Doudouâs voice contained no trace of warmth.
Grandma Shen looked down in disbelief. The sharp dagger had entered her chest completely and blood poured out. âYou⦠Arenât you afraid of him dying?â
âHumph! Thereâs no need for you to worry about that. Jun Xin wonât die!â After saying that, she started feeling through Grandma Shenâs clothes. However, it was clear that Grandma Shen wasnât dumb enough to leave the pill on her. Tang Doudou wasnât able to find the revival pill, but she did find a bunch of strange pills.
Tang Doudou frowned. Where did she hide it?
Grandma Shen coughed blood. âYou wonât be able to find it.â
Tang Doudou didnât bother to pay attention to her. She wasnât worried about Grandma Shen doing anything in this state so she got up to search through the house. However, Grandma Shen had way too many bottles in her house. It was impossible to find the pill in just a few moments.
Just as she was stuck on what to do, Little Gray jumped up onto her shoulder and pointed towards the roof.
Tang Doudou looked up towards the place he was pointing at and her eyes lit up. The revival pill!
She immediately flew up to grab that pill, then glanced at Grandma Shen who seemed on the brink of death before rushing to Jun Xin.
âLittle Gray, are you sure this is the revival pill?â Just in case, Tang Doudou checked with Little Gray again.
Little Gray hastily nodded and gestured to show how Grandma Shen had thrown the pill onto the roof beams earlier.
It was no wonder Grandma Shen had been so certain that she wouldnât be able to find it. The thought that it had been hidden on the roofbeams really hadnât occurred to her.
After getting Little Grayâs confirmation, Tang Doudou didnât waste any more time and lifted up Jun Xinâs cold body to shove the pill into his mouth. However, the moment she let go, the pill fell back out again.
She opened his mouth to place the pill onto his tongue, but it still fell out.
âWhatâs going on!?â Time seemed to be passing so quickly, Tang Doudou couldnât stop herself from panicking. She had tried multiple methods, but he wouldnât swallow the pill.
âZizizi!â Little Gray was also starting to worry.
Although he had been unconscious earlier, he was still aware of everything that had happened. He knew that Jun Xin had been prepared to give him the revival pill even though his true motive wasnât to save him, but to make sure that the female master wasnât sad.
Still, Little Gray was very moved. To give up the revival pill was the same as giving up his own life. This man was just like Master, they didnât care about dying as long as the female master could be happy.
Female Master was truly very fortunate to be able to meet so many good people!
There was no way Tang Doudou would know how moved Little Gray currently was, she was still frantically shoving the pill into Jun Xinâs mouth. âJun Xin! Swallow already! Donât you love to eat? Iâm even feeding you, why wonât you swallow? It couldnât be that youâre afraid of bitter stuff? Good medicine is always bitter, but after you eat it, youâll get better and Iâll make you a lot more tasty things. Be good, donât mess around anymore, alright? Hurry and eat it! Iâm begging you!â
As she spoke, her tears overflowed and fell to the ground, wetting the not yet dried bloodstains and making little swirls of cruel flowers.
The last bit of sand in the hourglass fell. Half an incense stickâs time had passed.
âHaha, the time is up. So what if youâve killed me? So what if youâve found the pill? He still died.â Despite the fact that Grandma Shen couldnât see, she seemed to still have a perfect grasp of time.
Jun Xin was dead?
Grandma Shenâs words caused Tang Doudouâs head to go blank. Her mind was filled with the image of Jun Xinâs unbridled figureâ¦
He promised that he wouldnât die!
And she had said that she wouldnât let him die!
But he wonât swallow itâ¦
Suddenly, she recalled a scene that was in many TV dramas and silently remarked, so this was the only way.
Who wouldâve thought that this bratâs prediction would actually hit the mark? He was really getting a bargain.
Tang Doudou placed the pill in her mouth, then leaned over to cover Jun Xinâs mouth and then slowly pushed the pill into his mouth before blowing gently to make the pill move into Jun Xinâs throat.
Suddenly, her face lit up and she released Jun Xin.
âIt went in!â She turned towards Little Gray excitedly.
Little Gray also responded with excitement and he moved closer to Jun Xin. There was a little bit of doubt in his heart, but he didnât let it show because he didnât want the female master to be hurt.
Little Gray was kind and wasnât willing to voice the cruel reality, but Grandma Shen wasnât. She said darkly, âSo what if you managed to get him to swallow it? Half an incense stickâs time has already passed. The revival pill is already useless.â
âShut up!â Tang Doudou abruptly snapped back. Why wasnât this old hag dead yet?
Grandma Shen sensed Tang Doudouâs vicious glare and finally closed her mouth. However, she continued smiling coldly.
Tang Doudou didnât have the time to pay attention to her right now. She continued watching Jun Xin nervously, worried that she would miss something important.
Jun Xin had already swallowed the revival pill, but she didnât know how exactly the pill would take effect. Would the person immediately wake up, or would the person remain asleep for a long time? The time had already passed, would it still work?
Tang Doudou really didnât know anything.
All she could do was watch Jun Xin. She just stared lifelessly. Little Gray awaited alongside her quietly.
