After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 25 Fight back

Hearing Lü Xinyan's words, knowing that she had no other choice, Miao Lanyi was extremely unwilling.

However, the throbbing pain in her head became increasingly intense, making it unbearable for Miao Lanyi. She collapsed to the ground, rolling around and banging her head against the floor in an attempt to relieve the headache.

This time, no matter what Miao Lanyi did, she couldn't relieve the severe headache, which was driving her to the brink of collapse.

She has now witnessed firsthand that Lü Xinyan is different from the other members of the Lü family; she lacks that kindness and shows no mercy when dealing with her.

Of course, this was also Lu Xinyan's way of avenging Lu Muren, so she certainly wouldn't let her off easily.

At that moment, Miao Lanyi felt immense regret.

If she had known she would encounter a jinx like Lü Xinyan, she wouldn't have taken this job. She could have gone through the hardship herself and found the herbs herself.

As a result, after being persuaded by the Yuan family, she came to Lianyun Mountain, thinking that she could easily complete this mission and make this deal. However, she was completely crushed and brutally defeated by Lü Xinyan!

Having suffered such torment, Miao Lanyi truly wished she could end her own life to find relief.

Unable to bear it any longer, Miao Lanyi quickly begged Lü Xinyan for mercy: "Okay, tell me, tell me, whatever you want me to do, I'll agree to it!"

"Please, please give me the antidote, I really can't take it anymore!"

"I'll do anything you want, just please stop torturing me and let me go!"

The excruciating pain made her head feel like it was going to explode. No amount of hitting or pounding could relieve the pain, so Miao Lanyi could only beg for mercy from Lü Xinyan.

Besides this headache-inducing poison, the intestinal-severing and bone-corroding powder also nearly took her life.

She thought that apart from the Heartbreak and Bone-Corroding Powder, other poisons would have no effect on her, as they would all be absorbed by the Gu worms in her body and would not be able to harm her.

But this time, after being tormented by Lü Xinyan repeatedly, Miao Lanyi was truly afraid and could no longer bear it.

She didn't know if Lü Xinyan had any other means to deal with her besides these two poisons.

However, at this moment, Miao Lanyi could no longer endure it and only hoped to obtain an antidote to alleviate such painful torment.

Even though what Lü Xinyan asked her to do might make her break her previous business promises, the fact that Lü Xinyan poisoned her, and that these toxins could in turn control the Gu poison in her body, greatly affecting her Gu poison techniques and leaving her completely powerless to resist, was far beyond her tolerance level, putting her life in danger.

Faced with such a brutal Lü Xinyan, Miao Lanyi had no choice but to take Lü Xinyan seriously as an opponent and temporarily compromise, wanting to hear what Lü Xinyan had to say and see what he wanted her to do.

Furthermore, Miao Lanyi had no intention of killing herself.

If a Gu worm master from Southern Chu chooses to commit suicide, she will suffer further backlash from the Gu worms and poisonous insects in her body. This is a serious matter, as it will affect the mother-child Gu, twin Gu, and love Gu she possesses. Those associated with her will also suffer the backlash.

Most importantly, if she chooses to commit suicide, those who have entered into a Gu worm relationship with her will also suffer a severe blow, and may even lose their lives like her.

In that case, her entire family would be implicated.

The thought of such terrible consequences forced Miao Lanyi to abandon her suicidal idea and continue to endure all this pain and torment.

Back then, she displayed remarkable skill in Gu poison techniques. In order to help her improve her Gu poison skills as quickly as possible, her family used many methods and borrowed a lot of power.

Now, these methods and assistance have become her constraints, preventing her from even deciding her own death and forcing her to continue enduring such pain and torment.

Moreover, Lü Xinyan already knew all this, and he took advantage of this weakness to force her to submit.

This time, Miao Lanyi was filled with regret and knew that she had really failed and was no match for Lü Xinyan!

Rather than lose her own life and have her family suffer a heavy blow, Miao Lanyi had no choice but to beg for mercy from Lü Xinyan, hoping to save her life, resolve the matter, and return to the Southern Chu Kingdom as soon as possible, far away from this wicked Lü Xinyan.

However, thinking of the poison Lü Xinyan had given her, and the agonizing torment she suffered when the poison took effect, Miao Lanyi felt utterly hopeless, fearing she would never escape Lü Xinyan's clutches.

For the sake of the small benefits promised by the Yuan family, she rashly came to Lianyun Mountain to carry out a mission, and now she has even lost herself and can't escape Lü Xinyan's clutches. Miao Lanyi really wanted to cry.

From the moment Lü Xinyan administered two poisons to her, she may have already become a pawn and a weapon in Lü Xinyan's hands.

As for when she will be able to truly break free from Lü Xinyan's control and threats, and stay away from this scourge, Miao Lanyi still doesn't know.

At this moment, Miao Lanyi just hoped that Lü Xinyan would be easy to talk to and negotiate with. She begged for mercy and did things for Lü Xinyan. She hoped that Lü Xinyan would let her go afterward, stop holding a grudge about her poisoning Lü Muren, and stop torturing her.

Seeing that Miao Lanyi knew the consequences and dared not harm herself, and could only beg for mercy, Lü Xinyan gave a faint smile, approached Miao Lanyi, and whispered a few words in her ear, explaining some things.

Upon learning what Lü Xinyan wanted her to do, Miao Lanyi's eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't believe that Lü Xinyan could be so ruthless.

However, since the Yuan family was able to hire her to deal with the Lü family, it's understandable that Lü Xinyan wanted to retaliate even more fiercely.

Miao Lanyi was simply unsure whether Lü Xinyan had known about the Yuan family's scheme all along, or whether the Yuan family was secretly targeting the Lü family in an attempt to profit from it.

Otherwise, Lü Xinyan's actions against the Yuan family were intended to inflict a heavy price on them, and might even cause a powerful family like the Yuan family to fall apart.

At this moment, Miao Lanyi realized even more that she was no match for Lü Xinyan, and that she shouldn't have provoked Lü Xinyan or the Lü family.

As for dealing with the Yuan family, those people in the Yuan family had nothing to do with her anymore, and were nothing compared to her own family. Miao Lanyi was silent for a while, but still agreed.

Of course, she had no room to refuse Lü Xinyan.

If she angers Lü Xinyan again, she will not have a good ending either, and will probably suffer even more terrible torment.

In this contest, she was completely defeated by Lü Xinyan. Lü Xinyan only used two kinds of poison, which completely destroyed her original advantage, leaving her with no chance of winning.
