As He Kailianuo cried out loudly, Qing Muye looked up and saw a green snake lying on the ground.
"Hiss..."
He Kailianuo clutched her right hand with her left, her brows furrowed in pain. "Knife. Give me a knife quickly, I've been bitten by a snake."
The green snake, flung to the ground, struggled a few times and then quickly escaped into the grass.
It was a triangular-headed snake, and the brighter its color, the more venomous it was.
Qing Muye's heart tightened. He immediately got up, took out a dagger, and walked to He Kailianuo. "This snake is venomous. Is there an antidote?"
"This is the seven-star green snake, the most poisonous in the Hidden Clan, it..."
She bit her lip and stopped speaking. Instead, she leaned down, sucked a few times on her own hand, and spat the blood onto the ground.
Seeing this, Qing Muye immediately grabbed his water canteen, filled it with fresh water, and walked over. "Rinse your mouth. Don't use this method to bleed, it's too slow!"
He Kailianuo hesitated, her gaze complex as she looked at him. She slowly took the water canteen and took a sip, rinsing her mouth.
Qing Muye looked at the bite marks on her outer wrist, his brows tightly knit. "Why did you save me?"
As he spoke, he pulled her hand and helped her sit on a stone. He then knelt on one knee in front of her and said, holding the dagger in his hand, "Endure it, it's going to hurt."
He Kailianuo gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. "Go ahead."
This morning, when she had seen the snake, she had already made her plans.
She had originally thought that as long as she could make Qing Muye develop a slight affection for her, she wouldn't have to take such risks.
However, the man before her was deeply devoted to Meng Jingwei. No matter how she tried to please him, he remained indifferent.
In desperation, she resorted to this desperate measure.
To attract Qing Muye's attention, she had truly gone all out.
Qing Muye, with the utmost speed, rolled up her sleeve and tightly bound her arm with a piece of gauze to prevent blood flow.
"Hiss, it hurts..."
Qing Muye bound the gauze very tightly, causing He Kailianuo to wince in pain.
"It needs to be tied very tightly, otherwise, if the blood spreads throughout your body, your life will be in danger." The man's expression was solemn, and his movements were swift and precise.
The sunlight shone on the earth, casting mottled shadows through the leaves of the dense forest, falling on him and bathing him in a halo, making him appear even more handsome.
They say that a man who is serious is the most handsome.
At this moment, although the man before her had a disfigured face, He Kailianuo's mind was filled with the image of Qing Muye's cold, ethereal face from photographs.
Especially that day in the bathroom of the side hall, when he removed his makeup and revealed his true face, He Kailianuo was completely captivated.
As the young master of the Hidden Clan, having experienced countless men, any man she liked, she could have with just a flick of her finger.
Only him.
Only this man, who was already married and a father, with a heart like stone, had truly given her a headache.
"If I die, won't that make you happy... Ah, it hurts so much..."
As He Kailianuo was speaking, Qing Muye had already used the dagger to cut open her outer wrist.
With an X-shaped incision, Qing Muye acted cleanly and decisively. Before He Kailianuo could react, the wound was already cut open.
Immediately, blood began to flow.
Qing Muye held her bleeding hand with one hand and supported her with the other as he walked her to the water's edge. "Come here, rinse it quickly."
Perhaps it was the potent venom of the snake, but He Kailianuo was already experiencing slight dizziness.
As she walked, her entire body's center of gravity leaned on Qing Muye. It wasn't until her wrist was submerged in the water and the cool water washed over the wound that the sharp pain surged through her entire body, causing her to grit her teeth tightly and tremble all over.
