As Bai Li Hongzhuang remained indifferent, the expressions of the Jidi family cultivators turned unpleasant. The rewards they had offered were already considerable.
At this moment, Bai Li Hongzhuang suddenly spoke up, "Even if I agree to help, it depends on whether your Miss Jidi'er is willing or not."
Jidi'er glared at Bai Li Hongzhuang with resentment. It was the first time she hated a woman so much, finding her utterly despicable!
"Miss," a Jidi family expert looked helplessly at Jidi'er, gesturing for her to lower her head.
However, Jidi'er stubbornly turned her head away. If she were to lower her head today, she would never have the qualification to raise it in front of Bai Li Hongzhuang again.
Seeing this, Bai Li Hongzhuang pushed back everything the Jidi family cultivators had offered, a faint smile playing at the corners of her lips.
"The act of saving lives also depends on whether there is any fate or not. I didn't want to go to such extremes, but since Miss Jidi'er has this attitude, I won't treat her anymore."
In the next moment, Bai Li Hongzhuang closed her eyes and focused on recovering her strength. She understood her own poison better than anyone else. If her current strength wasn't still lacking, she wouldn't have bothered with Jidi'er at all.
The atmosphere instantly became tense. Jidi'er hadn't expected Bai Li Hongzhuang to be so resolute and simply return everything they had offered.
"Aren't aristocratic descendants supposed to be highly intelligent? Why do I feel that Jidi'er is exceptionally foolish?" Xia Zhiqing frowned, unable to understand. Wasn't Jidi'er asking for trouble?
"Miss!" The leader of the Jidi family cultivators felt extremely embarrassed. He had always been aware of his Miss's temperament, but throwing a tantrum at this moment was simply inappropriate!
If they were seeking help, they shouldn't be showing a displeased expression. They say revenge is a dish best served cold. Didn't Jidi'er understand even this point?
Thinking about this, a look of disappointment appeared in the man's eyes. He suddenly felt that he might have stood on the wrong side by supporting Jidi'er.
With just this level of intelligence, it probably wouldn't be easy for Jidi'er to gain a certain position in the Jidi family in the future.
Jidi'er's face turned pale, her anger clouding her judgment completely. She had lived for more than a decade, but had she ever been so desperate and humiliated?
Suddenly, Jidi'er felt a warm flow from her nose. She wiped it with her hand and discovered that black blood had started to flow from her nose, just as Bai Li Hongzhuang had mentioned—a sign of poisoning!
"Ah!" Jidi'er couldn't help but exclaim in shock, realizing that what Bai Li Hongzhuang had said about bleeding to death from seven orifices was becoming a reality. Fear gripped her even more.
The pain intensified, and the amount of blood flowing from her nose increased.
"I don't want to die." Jidi'er's expression became bewildered and lost. "I don't want to die."
Her status was so noble, and her life was extremely comfortable. How could she die like this?
Jidi'er looked up and her gaze fell on Bai Li Hongzhuang. She immediately shouted, "I don't want to die! I beg you to save me!"
However, Bai Li Hongzhuang remained indifferent, with an apathetic expression. She didn't even furrow her brows, as if she hadn't heard anything.
Jidi'er was truly scared now. She knew that Bai Li Hongzhuang was her only hope for survival. She crawled towards Bai Li Hongzhuang, grabbing onto her pants, and pleaded, "Save me, please, save me! I beg you to save me!"
However, Bai Li Hongzhuang remained unmoved.
