Qi Tianshang took a step forward, cornering Qin Qin.
Qin Qin retreated indifferently, "I’m here, where is the antidote?"
"Antidote? You’ll definitely get your antidote when I’m satisfied! It’s getting late, how about dinner? Tell me what you like to eat, and I’ll have the servants prepare it!"
Qi Tianshang curled his lips into a smile.
Qin Qin and Qi Tianshang sat opposite each other at the large dining table filled with numerous plates; Qin Qin glanced at them and frowned slightly.
Seeing her frown, Qi Tianshang smiled, the eyes behind the mask shimmering with a bewitching light, "If you don’t tell me, I can just have the kitchen make a bit of everything. There has to be something you like, right?"
Qin Qin didn’t start eating and instead looked up at Qi Tianshang opposite her, asking in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Qi Tianshang set down his knife and fork, crossed his hands on the table, and said, "What do I want to do? Isn’t it obvious enough?"
Qin Qin let out a cold laugh, "Don’t tell me, you want me? Qi Tianshang, I hardly know you! I don’t believe for a second that you want me because you’ve fallen in love with me!"
After Qin Qin finished speaking, the complex expressions on the face of Qi Tianshang across from her became somber and indifferent. He then forced a smile and leaned forward, "How would you know whether I know you or not? Perhaps getting to know you better is exactly what I need! Besides... I do love you, more than anyone else. How can you question me?"
Qin Qin’s expression tightened as she looked at Qi Tianshang, feeling the seriousness in his tone, "Qi Tianshang, who exactly are you?"
"Who am I? Who I am! You’ll know when it’s time for you to know. As for now, let’s dine first!"
It had been so long since he had dined !
Seeing that she still wasn’t planning to eat dinner, Qi Tianshang smiled faintly, "I like people who are obedient. If you’re obedient, I might be in a very good mood, and when I’m in a good mood, the antidote will be available."
Qin Qin looked at Qi Tianshang coldly. He had already picked up his knife and fork and was eating dinner in a good mood; she picked up her knife and fork and ate without tasting anything.
At that moment, Han Ye walked over, whispered something into Qi Tianshang’s ear, and then Qi Tianshang looked up at Qin Qin, his smile ambiguous.
After Han Ye finished speaking, he turned and left.
Qi Tianshang elegantly picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth. Then he looked at Qin Qin, "I didn’t expect Mo Yunchen to be so lovesick. He started searching for you the moment you vanished. But tell me, with his physical condition, do you think he can last?"
Qin Qin dropped her knife and fork and stood up to walk outside.
"If you leave this place today, I can guarantee that Mo Yunchen won’t live past a few days. If you go back now, maybe you can spend a few more days with him."
Qi Tianshang stood up and chuckled softly, watching Qin Qin stop in her tracks. He nodded in satisfaction.
"I’ve eaten a bit too much; maybe a walk would be good."
Qi Tianshang took the lead and headed outside. Qin Qin watched his retreating figure, clenched her fists, and followed.
Hearing her footsteps, Qi Tianshang’s lips curled into a triumphant smile, his thin lips enchantingly stunning.
Qin Qin stood a few steps behind Qi Tianshang, not walking side by side with him, until she saw him stop in front of a bright red patch, gazing into the distance.
She followed his gaze, and there before her was a vast expanse of bright red flowers, their garish color a bit shocking to the eye.
This place actually had a vast spread of the Flower of The Other Shore!
Qi Tianshang turned his head to look at the shock in Qin Qin’s eyes, smiled lightly, and spoke with a low, lazy voice, "Do you like it?"
Qin Qin didn’t respond. Qi Tianshang’s gaze lingered on the Flower of The Other Shore, "The Flower of The Other Shore blooms for a thousand years, withers for a thousand years, with leaves and flowers that never meet. Love does not depend on cause and effect; fate dictates life and death."
The Flower of The Other Shore, also known as Manjusaka, is the legendary Nether Flower, symbolizing sad separation.
Qin Qin looked at Qi Tianshang impassively, not understanding why he was saying this.
It seemed like he was talking to her, yet not talking to her!
Even if he was addressing her, she would not believe it, for she hardly knew him, so how could he possibly be saying this to her?
Besides, she didn’t think he was saying this to her.
After a while, Qi Tianshang turned back to face Qin Qin, a complex look in his eyes, "I want you to leave Mo Yunchen. Only if you leave him, he will not die! I believe that to prevent his death, you should be able to do it, right?"
Qin Qin’s eyes turned steely, staring coldly at Qi Tianshang, "Despicable!"
Qi Tianshang burst into laughter, a trace of pain lurking in his smile that Qin Qin did not see.
"I have even more despicable methods you haven’t seen. Do you want to know what exactly happened to Mo Yunchen?"
As Qi Tianshang advanced on Qin Qin, she clenched her fists and stared at him sharply, "What exactly have you done?"
