Chapter 2582: Chapter 2582: Spit It Out Now
She laughed, "I’m not afraid anymore. Even if there really is a ghost, I’m not scared, because I’m not afraid of you."
"..." Ruan Tianling smiled reluctantly and continued showing her around.
...
This castle has three floors, each floor with seven or eight rooms.
Every room has only a simple bed.
White sheets cover the bed, giving one a shiver-inducing feeling.
They visited every room.
Didn’t find anything special.
Ruan Tianling chose the room on the second floor with the most sunlight as their bedroom.
Then they planned to go to the kitchen to fix something to eat.
In the end, a servant brought them lunch.
In the spacious dining room, several servants placed exquisite food on the long dining table and left without saying anything.
Jian Yufei looked at the delicacies without any appetite.
Since Ruan Tianling arrived on the island, Nangong Xu hadn’t cared about their meals.
They had been cooking for themselves.
But now, he let someone deliver such fine food...
Jian Yufei asked Ruan Tianling, "Is this the last lunch?"
It’s said that death row inmates receive a lavish meal before execution.
Are they about to be executed?
Ruan Tianling did not consider Jian Yufei’s worries unnecessary.
Though he kept comforting her, saying nothing would happen to them, he was also a bit uneasy inside.
He couldn’t fathom what Nangong Xu planned to do.
"Ruan Tianling, should we eat?" Jian Yufei asked again.
Ruan Tianling took her hand and led her to sit down, he laughed, "Of course we should eat, if we don’t we’ll go hungry."
"But what if there’s poison in it?"
Ruan Tianling picked up a knife and fork, "That’s why I’ll eat first, if nothing happens to me, then you eat."
"No!" Jian Yufei pressed down on his hand, her expression serious, "You can’t eat!"
"Don’t worry, even if I’m really poisoned, you can save me."
They had a panacea on them, as long as taken promptly, it could save them if poisoned.
Jian Yufei still disagreed, "You can’t eat, if you’re really poisoned, there’s nothing I can do. Better I eat, even if something happens to me, you can still hold your ground."
"Though what you say makes sense, I still can’t let you eat." Ruan Tianling pulled her hand away, sliced a piece of steak and was about to put it in his mouth.
Jian Yufei abruptly snatched the steak and quickly shoved it into her mouth—
"Spit it out!" Ruan Tianling pinched her mouth, his expression urgent, "Don’t eat, spit it out quickly!"
Jian Yufei shook her head desperately, unable to chew, then she pushed Ruan Tianling away forcefully and swallowed the steak!
Ruan Tianling looked at her, his face livid, "Who told you to eat!"
"Hmm..." Jian Yufei hit her chest, she was choking.
Ruan Tianling quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
Jian Yufei drank the water, feeling much better.
"How do you feel?" Ruan Tianling asked worriedly, his eyes filled with suppressed panic.
He shouldn’t have mentioned tasting the food in front of her.
Thinking they had medicine, he assumed she’d agree to let him try it first.
He hadn’t expected her reaction to be so drastic...
Jian Yufei smiled, "I’m fine, the steak tasted pretty good."
Ruan Tianling’s expression turned darker, "Jian Yufei, I’m not in the mood to joke with you!"
"I’m serious, I’m fine, and the taste really was nice."
"Who let you eat! Did you forget what you promised me?" Ruan Tianling couldn’t help but roar in anger.
