#693 - Don't cry
Tong Tang knew that Lu Jing had a good reputation in Wujiang City and was a well-known hero.
But she still didn't dare to gamble.
After all, she only had one life.
However, Tong Tang really couldn't think of any other reason to persuade Lu Jing not to let her drink this bowl of tea.
However, at this moment, the door of the main room was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
A red figure rushed out from inside.
Tong Tang was startled, and before she could react, a long sword was already resting on her neck, making the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.
"Heroine, let's talk nicely."
"Did you drug me?"
Xia Huai's voice sounded colder than the winter month.
"There's a bit of a misunderstanding here..." Tong Tang said with a wry smile.
"What misunderstanding?"
"This..." Tong Tang stammered, and as she hesitated for a moment, blood was already visible on her fair neck.
Tong Tang cast a pleading look at Lu Jing, but saw that the latter had no intention of helping her at all.
"Want to live, want to live," Tong Tang said hurriedly.
"If you want to live, hand over all the remaining poison on your body," Xia Huai said.
"Ah?"
Tong Tang was stunned, and as a result, the blood on her neck flowed down her collarbone.
Tong Tang didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly took out a small bottle from her arms, "I didn't bring much with me this time, there are only three left in the bottle, as long as they are melted in..."
As a result, before Tong Tang could finish speaking, Xia Huai snatched the bottle, then poured one out and said, "Eat it."
Tong Tang was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Xia Huai didn't stand on ceremony, and directly tapped the acupoints on her body, then stuffed the 'Moment of Joy' into Tong Tang's mouth.
Then she poured half a ladle of water down, and after waiting for a while, she released Tong Tang's acupoints.
Tong Tang immediately reached out to try and claw at her throat.
But her movements were once again stopped by Xia Huai with her long sword.
"Circulate your energy," Xia Huai said calmly.
Tong Tang already knew that she couldn't escape this time, so she could only grit her teeth and start circulating her energy as Xia Huai said.
After two small cycles, her body began to heat up.
'Moment of Joy' was a special poison made by the Joyful Union Sect, and Tong Tang had always used it on others, never expecting that she would suffer the consequences one day.
This was also the first time she had tasted the taste of this poison.
Indeed, circulating her energy couldn't resist it, and soon her breathing became rapid.
Bean-sized beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she pleaded, "Hey, I... I can't take it anymore."
But Xia Huai remained unmoved.
Tong Tang was both ashamed and afraid, "Xia, Heroine Xia... I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I promise I won't use this medicine indiscriminately in the future, you... just let me go, it'll be too late if you wait any longer."
"What's too late?"
"I...I..." Tong Tang was almost driven crazy at this moment, she only felt that her body had turned into a furnace, and could explode at any time.
After a while, Tong Tang couldn't bear it any longer, and reached out to take off her wide shirt.
But she found that her actions did not alleviate her terrible situation at all.
She was still struggling, until the last trace of sanity in her head collapsed, and she couldn't care about so much anymore.
As a result, Xia Huai's voice finally rang out again, "Okay, go back to the house."
Tong Tang almost stumbled and ran into the main room.
Xia Huai also put away her long sword and followed in, and casually closed the door.
Two hours later... the two came out of the house again, Xia Huai looked refreshed, and had swept away the haze in her heart.
Tong Tang looked aggrieved, while tidying up her clothes, tears dripped down.
She had never been tortured and humiliated like this before.
But she couldn't say anything, Xia Huai was completely using her own methods against her.
Lu Jing outside the house didn't know what to say.
He didn't expect that Xia Huai, who always looked gentle, could be so fierce when she got angry, wait... so, wouldn't his path to having three wives and four concubines also lead to a disastrous end?
"Don't cry," Xia Huai frowned.
Tong Tang shuddered upon hearing this, and quickly stopped her tears.
Xia Huai then walked up to Lu Jing, "Hero Lu, I want to ask you for a favor..."
"Don't worry, I didn't report what happened to you, and I won't tell anyone else," Lu Jing said considerately.
"That's not what I'm talking about," Xia Huai shook her head, then pointed to Tong Tang, "What I want to talk to you about is her."
"What's wrong with her?"
"I hope you won't offer her the farewell tea."
"Why?" This time it was Lu Jing's turn to be surprised, "The Surveillance Bureau has regulations..."
"Regulations are dead, people are alive... don't be so rigid, she's right, keeping her and the Joyful Union Sect behind her is still very useful to us," Xia Huai said.
"........."
"Am I wrong about something?"
Seeing that Lu Jing didn't speak, but just looked at her in shock, Xia Huai asked back.
"Well... if you are confident that you can control her, then it's not impossible to do as you say, but is this still the Xia Huai I know?"
Lu Jing couldn't help but say, "Are you sure... you haven't been possessed by something? Usually, I'm the one who proposes things that violate the regulations, and you're the one who acts as the opponent."
"No, I'm very well now, I should say I've never been this good," Xia Huai said seriously.
"Are you... saying the opposite?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"I really don't."
"Okay, this case is over... you should also take a good rest, and I'll come to you for the next case."
Lu Jing now realized Tong Tang's previous anxiety, he didn't know why, but he always felt that the aura on Xia Huai in front of him was a bit scary.
Forget it... let's wait before mentioning the plan of having three wives and four concubines.
There's no rush in these three or five days.
Lu Jing put away the tea cake on the table and was about to get up, but Xia Huai's voice rang out again, "Hero Lu, are you leaving so soon?"
"Heroine Xia, is there anything else?"
"Hero Lu, you heard it, right..."
"Heard what?"
"Our voices, and you should have seen it too," Xia Huai said generously.
"Are you also going to take a look at me?" Lu Jing said with a wry smile.
"Hero Lu is joking, you are different from her, after all, you were trying to save me before, in fact, I am very grateful that you didn't take advantage of me."
"This... I just did what I should have done at the time, Heroine Xia doesn't need to take it to heart," Lu Jing scratched his head.
"But the responsibility... still has to be taken," Xia Huai added faintly.
