Chapter 293 Which No. 1 Assassin?
The temptation of a big villa still exists.
Shi Li did not choose to accept or reject the bounty mission, but secretly turned her head to look at Xuan Yi.
He seemed to be sleeping soundly, with his back against the rock wall, his head lowered, his eyelashes lightly closed, casting a thin and dense shadow under his eyes.
The jade-white cheeks were slightly flushed by the firelight...
Shi Li suddenly realized that Xuan Yi was probably not simply asleep, otherwise his face wouldn't be so red.
Do you have a fever?
She didn't dare to jump to conclusions and continued to observe with her lips pursed.
Unlike his flushed cheeks, Xuan Yi's lips were abnormally pale, with an unusual hint of purple.
This condition is not like a fever, but more like poisoning.
Shi Li frowned, remembering what Xuan Yi had said to himself before.
He said, "I have to keep you. You dare to plot against me."
Then he pretended to faint.
Maybe at that time, he wasn't completely pretending.
The first half of the sentence can be understood as being directed at her, but the second half is definitely not. After all, neither the original owner nor Shi Li had ever plotted against Xuan Yi.
Inferring from this, there is only one possibility.
Xuan Yi was indeed poisoned.
The person who poisoned him was most likely the dog emperor who hired him to hunt down the original owner.
The dog emperor wanted to kill two birds with one stone, getting rid of Prince Guangyong's orphan and silencing those who knew about this matter.
Xuan Yi should have guessed it, so he deliberately went against the grain and didn't kill her. Instead, he kept her by his side, in order to prevent the Dog Emperor's plan from succeeding.
Sometimes people’s thinking is like this: if they understand one thing, they understand a hundred things.
The pattern opened up at once.
If my inference is correct, my safety should be guaranteed in the future.
The premise is that Xuan Yi can survive.
Thinking so much actually didn't take Shi Li too long, only a few breaths, and then she tentatively moved closer to Xuan Yi.
As she expected, he showed no reaction at all, breathing evenly, as if he was sleeping without any vigilance.
"Okay, I'll take this reward."
People die for money and birds die for food. Shi Li gritted her teeth, held her breath and moved in front of Xuan Yi.
His eyelashes were really long, hanging down and gently covering his delicate eyes, trembling slightly with his breathing, like a tired butterfly that finally found a branch to perch on.
Her heartstrings moved inexplicably. Shi Li held her breath, stretched out a finger, placed it next to his eyelashes, and then quickly withdrew her hand.
"See? It's so long, I'll take the big villa without hesitation!"
Shi Li pointed her fingertips towards the void and squinted her eyes with satisfaction.
[The host's measurement is somewhat perfunctory~]
[I think so too. Why don’t you go and give her a kiss secretly! ]
[Yes, yes! If the host's inference is correct, we can do whatever we want to the boy now. What a great opportunity! ]
Seeing that the comments were getting more and more outrageous, Shi Li simply pretended to turn a blind eye and lowered his head, pretending to look for dry branches.
Otherwise, when the bonfire burned out, she would be freezing again without any tools to make a fire.
【Won’t the anchor run away? 】
There was a comment that asked this question naively.
Shi Li was eager to change the subject, and explained with a smile: "Why are you running away? I am unfamiliar with this place, and if I run away, I will be fed to tigers or lions."
As long as Xuan Yi doesn't want to kill her, it is safest to stay with him.
Shi Li had already thought about it. When he woke up, she would ask him where he was going to take her.
Based on this day's contact, Shi Li concluded that Xuan Yi was not a magnanimous person. If the dog emperor dared to plot against him, he would definitely not let the dog emperor have an easy time.
If keeping her can make the dog emperor unhappy, Xuan Yi will definitely keep her.
Therefore, escape was impossible.
On the contrary, she had to keep a close eye on Xuan Yi and not let him run away.
While thinking, Shi Li broke the branches he picked up into several pieces and threw them into the fire.
After throwing it for a while, I felt a slight pain in my hand.
When I looked down, I saw that the palms of my hands were rubbed by the branches and had several blisters.
Shi Li: ...
The princess' body is really delicate and soft.
Seeing that the branches in the fire should be enough to burn for a while, Shi Li sat down next to Xuan Yi again, turning her head to observe him quietly in the light of the fire.
No one knew what kind of poison he had been poisoned by. She was an assassin, but she walked back and forth and broke branches beside him, but she didn't even wake him up.
Just like before, Xuan Yi's face was still very red, his lips were black and blue, and the signs of poisoning were even more obvious.
"I don't know if it's okay to just leave it like this." Shi Li muttered to herself with her cheek supported by one hand.
Anyway, she had no choice whether it would work or not.
The princess, who was born into a noble family, could not tell what poison he had been poisoned by, nor could she help him. If she really went out to find an antidote without considering her own abilities, it would only cause more trouble.
