Chapter 1237: Chapter 1241 She Really Has Good Fortune!

Gu Junzhu coldly stared at her.

“If you agree, take this pill, and if you don’t agree, you can kill me right now!” Lian Jinshang closed her eyes, tilted her head back, presenting herself as ready to face death. “Fifth Lord of Gu, you have encountered countless people, you should be able to tell that I came with a resolve to die. My target is not your wife, but you… As long as you sleep with me, neither you nor your wife will suffer any harm, and you will be safe. But if you don’t agree to my request, then I just have to drag your wife to death with me! On the road to Netherworld, having your wife as company, I won’t be lonely.”

Gu Junzhu’s gaze locked onto hers, growing even deeper.

Indeed.

He could tell that Lian Jinshang was telling the truth.

Her target was not Ye Xingbei, but him.

She didn’t want his life.

Her objective was just to sleep with him once.

But her claim about the backlash from her curse that could be neutralized only by sleeping with him to balance yin and yang— that was absurd; he didn’t believe a word of it.

However, the grim reality before him was, since the moment Ye Xingbei was poisoned, he had lost.

At this moment, Lian Jinshang held Ye Xingbei’s life in her hands.

And he could also see, as Lian Jinshang had said, that she came with the heart unafraid of death.

To achieve her goal, she feared not death.

When a person is not even afraid of dying, controlling her would seem virtually impossible.

Besides, time was of the essence, Ye Xingbei’s body couldn’t hold out much longer.

He looked down at the pill in Lian Jinshang’s hand.

He wagered Lian Jinshang did not actually want him to die.

He thought about Ye Xingbei, lying unconscious on the bed.

He thought about what Lian Nishang had just said, that if Ye Xingbei did not take the antidote tonight, by tomorrow she would go blind, and there would be no cure, it would be irreversible.

His heart ached, he grabbed the pill from Lian Jinshang’s hand and raised it to his mouth.

Watching Gu Junzhu voluntarily take the pill from her hand and swallow it, surprise surged in Lian Jinshang’s eyes.

Although she had made such a request, she hadn’t thought that Gu Junzhu would actually do as she said.

She knew the pill was not poison, her words were true.

She also knew she didn’t intend to make Gu Junzhu die.

But Gu Junzhu didn’t know that!

They were enemies.

Yet Gu Junzhu so decisively swallowed the pill she had given him.

And he swallowed the pill for the sake of saving Ye Xingbei.

At this moment, Lian Jinshang felt an immense jealousy for that woman called Ye Xingbei.

She was too fortunate.

One man schemed endlessly, using any means necessary to help his son marry her.

Another man willingly put himself in danger to protect her.

She truly was too blessed!

Lian Jinshang stared blankly at the Gu Junzhu before her, her gaze becoming somewhat infatuated.

Such a perfect man… Wealthy, powerful, strikingly handsome, and deeply loving.

If only this man loved her!

Perhaps, with her exceptional skills in bed, she could make this man fall for her.

If initially, she seduced Gu Junzhu only to accomplish a mission,

Now, she truly had feelings for Gu Junzhu.

She wanted this man.

She wanted to be this man’s wife.

She hoped this man could love her as deeply as he did Ye Xingbei.

If that were the case, she would definitely bid farewell to her past and live quietly as his wife, living a good life with him.

Thinking this, she revealed a tender smile, extended two slender fingers, unclasped the necklace around her neck, took out a red pill from inside, and handed it to Gu Junzhu, “This antidote must be taken with white vinegar and white wine simultaneously; otherwise, it turns into a deadly poison.”
