After swiping their card, Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru simultaneously looked at Lu Tianxing seated in the rest area on the first floor. Lu Tianxing was smoking a cigarette and had sohow struck up a lively conversation with a beautiful woman exuding a mature aura. The woman’s face was lit up with a bright smile, clearly interested in both Lu Tianxing and the conversation topic.
Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru exchanged a glance and sighed in resignation. This bastard couldn’t seem to shake his habit of flirting around, and unfortunately, he was quite good at it.
"Tianxing, we’ve finished shopping and are ready to go," Lin Qianru called out.
Upon hearing Lin Qianru’s voice, Lu Tianxing glanced at the beautiful woman, saying, "Sorry, miss, my wife is calling ho for dinner. I have to go now. Let’s chat about life another ti, bye."
Saying that, Lu Tianxing waved to the woman and walked towards Lin Qianru and Bai Zhiqing. Flirting with beautiful won was just a hobby for him; if it was just for fun, then what was the joy in it?
The mature woman watched Lu Tianxing’s back and glanced over at Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru standing not far away. A glimr of light flashed in her eyes, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. This man was quite interesting.
Lu Tianxing walked over to Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru. Bai Zhiqing imdiately reached out and pinched Lu Tianxing’s waist.
"Wife, why are you pinching ? And Qianru, could you stop looking at like that? I feel like you’re about to eat ."
Lu Tianxing looked innocently at Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru.
"Hmph, eat you? Lu Tianxing, I could just as well castrate you, you scoundrel. Flirting around all day, are you planning to mimic the ancient kings and build a massive harem for yourself?"
Bai Zhiqing fixed her gaze on Lu Tianxing, her eyes flashing with dangerous signals.
"Uh!"
Hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but pull a long face and awkwardly chuckled, "Wife, how could that be? You must be seeing things. When did I chat with any woman? I’ve been sitting here behaving myself the entire ti."
"Really? I hope so. Lu Tianxing, I advise you to behave, or I don’t mind spending my life with a eunuch."
As she spoke, Bai Zhiqing made a scissor gesture with her fingers, her gaze flicking over Lu Tianxing’s crotch, and then snipped forcefully.
"Oh, no!"
Lu Tianxing’s face went dark as he instinctively clamped his legs together, feeling a chill down below.
Seeing Lu Tianxing’s terrified expression, Lin Qianru couldn’t help but stifle a laugh. It seed that what was said online was true; that gesture had a one hundred percent kill rate on n.
Feeling Lin Qianru’s laughter, Lu Tianxing rolled his eyes helplessly. Just as he was about to speak, a clear, lodious, and anxious voice suddenly rose in the sowhat quiet store.
"Lingling, what’s wrong? Lingling, don’t scare mom, Lingling...."
Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru also heard the anxious voice. They instinctively looked towards the source of the sound and imdiately saw the mature woman who had just been chatting with Lu Tianxing seated on a sofa in the rest area, her face showing unconcealable panic.
In her arms, a little girl around four or five years old, resembling a porcelain doll, lay pale and unconscious, with a hint of blackness perating her tiny face.
"This child is poisoned."
Lu Tianxing’s gaze swept over the woman, landing on the little girl in her arms, and he uttered with a tone of surprise. Although he wasn’t an expert in poisons like Mandala, being a middle-stage Mythical martial artist, if he couldn’t even tell whether a person was ill or poisoned, then living more than twenty years would have been for nothing.
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru looked puzzled, "Tianxing, you’re saying this child is poisoned?"
"Almost certainly. Let’s go take a look."
Lu Tianxing nodded without hesitation, imdiately striding over to the woman.
Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru followed closely behind.
The woman’s voice quickly drew the attention of many in the first-floor hall, who all turned their gaze to the woman in the rest area. Although there was much discussion, not many stepped forward.
In the rest area, the woman sat on the sofa, continuously calling the little girl’s na in her arms. Yet, the little girl gave no response, having fallen into a coma.
"Big sister, what happened to your child?" Bai Zhiqing asked softly as the three of them approached the rest area, looking at the woman.
Hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, the woman instinctively raised her head to glance at the three, shaking her head, she said, "I...I don’t know. I just saw Lingling drink a glass of water. Shortly after, she collapsed and fell unconscious."
"She’s poisoned."
At this mont, Lu Tianxing picked up a water glass that had fallen on the floor, brought it to his nose, and took a deep sniff before saying, "This should be a poison that turns soone into a living dead. Although not deadly, it turns a person into a living dead, damaging the vital organs and ridians. If not detoxified promptly, even if cured, the person would be handicapped for life."
Having once been a test subject for Mandala and influenced by her expertise, Lu Tianxing could easily discern the unique scent emanating from the water, indicating a destructive poison. Consuming such a toxin, if not promptly neutralized, it would damage a person’s organs, ultimately rendering them a living dead even worse than a vegetative state.
"Lu Tianxing, are you sure you’re not mistaken?"
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing’s expression changed slightly. It was worse than death. Even if detoxified, the person could be ruined for life. Such a thod was extraordinarily cruel, clearly intended as a fate worse than death.
Lu Tianxing shook his head, "No."
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s and Bai Zhiqing’s conversation, and looking at her daughter’s condition, the woman seed to lose her soul, slumping to the ground, murmuring, "Lingling, I... I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it, Lingling wouldn’t turn out like this."
Suddenly, as if recalling sothing, the woman raised her head to look at Lu Tianxing, just like a drowning person grasping at the last straw, urgently saying, "Sir, since you can tell Lingling is poisoned, you must have a way to save her, right? You must have a way, sir, I beg you. As long as you help , even if I have to be a horse or a cattle in this life, I will repay your great kindness. I beg you, save my child, alright?"
At this mont, Qiu Yingrong couldn’t care about anything else, not even if Lu Tianxing’s words were true. Even with a sliver of hope, she wouldn’t give up.
