"Sir, how is Nanxing?" Jing Tian didn't care about his injury at all. He asked Mr. Li, who had just finished taking his pulse.
Mr. Li withdrew his hand and looked at us.
"That bitch is really ruthless. He wants to torture the two of you to death!" Whenever Mr. Li mentioned Ma Ji, he always sounded like he wanted to kill her.
"What do you mean?" I asked him calmly.
Mr. Li straightened his back. Looking at us, he said, "She poisoned Jing Tian first and then used your blood as an antidote. But at the same time, she also poisoned him with your blood. Jing Tian has a deep affection for you, so he was poisoned deeply.
"Due to the poison, he forgot you for a certain period of time. Moreover, if he saw you within that period of time, the poison would take effect, and he would be compelled by the drugs to hurt you. If he kills you, what do you think will happen to him after he recovers his memory? He'd probably die from guilt. This poison is made using the blood of his lover. Is that not ruthless?"
I felt a chill on my back as I looked at Jing Tian.
Jing Tian didn't look any better.
Mister Li continued, "Girl, you're no better. This poison works both ways. She must have poisoned you without you knowing. However, she also needed your blood to save someone. Therefore, she kidnapped you, which was a blessing in disguise, or else you'd be killed by this kid already.
"However, the voodoo she used on you has left roots everywhere. The only way to cure the curse was for you to meet your lover after he had recovered his memory. Without that happening, even the witch couldn't undo the nasty curse. She must have made up her mind for you two to never meet again for the rest of your lives."
He shook his head and sighed. "But she is really unlucky. Despite her vicious thoughts, she was still unable to stop the two of you from meeting each other. I now understand why you had vomited out the mother worm. It has nothing to do with the chocolate. It was because you had met Jing Tian.
"Actually, you should consider yourself lucky. This is a safety measure left behind by the bitch. Once you are separated from Ma Ji, the mother worm in your body will start to feed on your flesh from the inside. Your body will become an incubator for its young. She never wanted you to live..."
He didn't continue, but Jing Tian and I understood what he meant.
Jing Tian's face turned pale. I don't think my expression was any better.
Mr. Li sighed, "This is fate! Your life is hard, but God has not abandoned you. You have Phoenix Blood and the ability to be reborn. You've gone through so many hardships. I predict that your life will only go up from now on."
"What do you mean by having the ability to be reborn?" I was puzzled.
Mr. Li looked at me, and he suddenly remembered, "Oh, you've lost your memory. About that... well, I can't explain it clearly either. I just divined that you've died once, and this is your second life. I don't know what it's like exactly. Child, your life is very complicated. You've lost your memories so many times. Forget it. It's good that you have forgotten these things. It's not useful anyway."
He shook his head.
I was confused.
Jing Tian coughed lightly. He looked at us. "Nanxing told me about a dream she had in the past. It was a very real dream. It was about our previous life. At that time, I thought it was just a dream.. Now that I've heard what you said, I think that the dream Nanxing talked about might refer to our previous life together."
