Chapter 2040: Chapter 2040: Any Condition is Possible

Upon hearing this, Ding Rong almost spit out a mouthful of blood in anger.

In such a place, where could she find an apothecary to cure her poisoning, and besides, she didn’t know any apothecaries.

But if she were to leave here and return to Sky City...

There simply wouldn’t be enough time. An hour was about to pass, and it would take at least a day to travel from here to Sky City.

By then, who knew what state the poison would have tortured her into, she might not feel anything at all and become a useless person, dependent on others even for eating and using the bathroom!

She really didn’t want to become that kind of person!

"I beg you, give me the antidote, I will never oppose you again." She wrote urgently, dabbing her brush in tea.

"You’re thinking too much, really."

Lin Caisang flicked her red lips and said,

"Whether you oppose me or not, actually doesn’t really make a big difference to me."

Look, although Ding Rong wanted to oppose her, the key point was that Lin Caisang hadn’t even made her move before Ding Rong was already begging before her, wasn’t she?

So to speak, to talk about opposition was really a bit too much.

Ding Rong: "..."

How much contempt did she have for her?

But after this encounter, she realized that Lin Nian’s daughter was even harder to deal with than Lin Nian herself, carrying out actions even crueler and more decisive.

She was the niece of the lady mayor of Sky City, yet Lin Caisang had poisoned her without the slightest mercy.

And now, she had even come begging, bringing out all her savings, yet Lin Caisang still refused to relent, to give her the antidote to cure her poisoning.

Even she was not as ruthless as Lin Caisang.

"What exactly do you want? State any conditions you have." She wrote on the table.

It was no longer about whether Lin Caisang was too cruel, but that she needed to be cured of the poison fast. As the saying goes, a wise man does not eat losses before his eyes, and though she was a woman, it was the same principle.

"Any conditions?"

Lin Caisang rested her chin in one hand, looking at Ding Rong, and asked.

Upon hearing this, Ding Rong took a deep breath and nodded seriously.

She was already mute and did not want to become deaf or blind; that would truly be the end of her, so she agreed first to what Lin Caisang was saying.

Lin Caisang’s lips twitched upward, and she turned to raise an eyebrow at her father.

"Agreed."

Saying this, she took out a golden bead talisman from her space and handed it over to Ding Rong.

"You see, I have a magical artifact that requires a guardian slave. If you become this guardian slave, you won’t even need an antidote to be cured of the poison, and even your current loss of voice can be healed. How about it? Are you willing?"

Guardian slave?

Ding Rong’s eyes widened at the jade token in Lin Caisang’s hand, swallowing hard.

Just hearing the word slave, she knew it wasn’t anything good; she wouldn’t become a perennial slave to Lin Caisang, would she?

"Oh, you don’t know what a guardian slave is, do you?"

Seeing such a shocked and fearful expression on her face, Lin Caisang nodded, then continued to explain.

"A guardian slave, actually, has very simple duties—helping me manage some things around me. Don’t worry, I have already had a guardian slave before, and her status was much higher than yours."
