Gao Ran revisited what she wanted most at the moment and what she had originally planned to achieve—and after weighing the two slightly, she quickly made her new decision.

I just listened to her unhurried and patiently explain to Zuoyi:

"Uncle Zuo, I can understand your motive for always trying to hear my words out of other meanings. Indeed, before meeting you in person, I did intend to make a deal with you, trying to give you exactly what you wanted in exchange for something you did for me......

"But after I came into contact with you personally, now, I've changed my mind.

"Believe it or not, although I care a lot about the gains and losses of interests, there are exceptions to everything - if the other party has a quality that I admire and appreciate very much, then I am more willing to take the initiative to take a step back and sacrifice some short-term small profits in exchange for an opportunity to make friends with him than the benefits I originally wanted to obtain. Even if it's just a chance to try to make friends, it's good.

"So, you don't have to worry that I'm going to risk your life to do things for me. Because I'd rather trade your life for a chance to make friends with you right now. - I don't want to compensate you for your possible future needs, I just want to try to make a possible friend with you in order to meet my personal spiritual needs. That's all.

"And since it is my own choice, then I will bear all the consequences, and I will not be angry with you just because you may not fulfill my wishes.

"Of course, you don't have to understand why I'm doing this?—— and I think you're probably having a hard time understanding it...... In that case, you might as well be simple, just believe what I say, believe that I have no ill will towards you, and that I don't want to be your enemy easily—that's fine.

"And as a sign of sincerity, you can come again tomorrow, and I will give you the other half of the antidote. - Unconditionally.

"That way, you don't have to be controlled by people anymore. As for me, I would like to take this opportunity to see how you will choose your future relationship with me without any coercion, whether it will be a friend or an enemy, or whether you are going to sell it at a later price?—— I am curious what your truest choice will be?"

But when he said this, Gao Ran suddenly said something that had nothing to do with what he just said:

"Oh yes, as a gift to you, I kindly remind you: in addition to the Gu poison in your body now, you are actually contaminated with a new poison. This poison is colorless and odorless, but in terms of the amount you are currently contaminated, it is not enough to produce toxicity. But if my guess is correct, I'm afraid that the day when you accumulate enough to be truly poisonous, it will not be far off.

"Hmm...... Judging from the amount of precipitation in your body now, I estimate that you have been contaminated with this poison for more than ten days...... Well...... At this daily precipitation, it should be about five days before you will have a poisonous attack, and then you will fall into an endless slumber and die quietly in your slumber.

"Oh, if it's about death, then this kind of death is very 'gentle'. You don't have to worry about any pain, you will die peacefully in your sleep. And this kind of poison cannot be detected by ordinary people, and naturally they will not think that you were poisoned. Most of them will think that you have suffered from some unknown disease, so they will die of the disease......"

When Zuo Yi heard this, he immediately thought of the seven-day period that Ye Yu had mentioned to him, claiming that as long as he used him to cover for seven more days, she could kill the Banana Emperor, and then give him the other half of the antidote......

"Heh, in this way, I'm afraid that before the half-month deadline expires, I will die under this new poison first?"

Although Zuo Yi had always had a wait-and-see attitude towards what Gao Ran said before, when she revealed to him that he had recently been poisoned, he believed her words without any doubts.

However, Zuo Yi was not surprised by this unexpected truth. Originally, he suspected that Ye Yu must have used him to poison the Banana Emperor - although no poison could be detected, he was convinced of it - because he was sure that Ye Yu should have no better means than poisoning the Banana Emperor without getting into trouble.

"You're right, I'm really lucky,......" Zuo Yi whispered in a vague voice, and then accepted Gao Ran's proposal to give him an antidote, and replied, "I'll come back tomorrow to get the antidote." ”

With that, he got up and made a gesture to leave.

In fact, until this time, Zuo Yi still did not believe that Gao Ran's kindness was true, he was just convinced: at least for now, she would not let him die easily. - because he still has value for her. - though he still hadn't thought about what she wanted to do with him?

But at the same time, he also had to admit that Gao Ran's previous remarks that he couldn't understand, and even felt ridiculous at first glance, had indeed made him a little confused, so that he really couldn't see through her for a while, and couldn't see what she wanted.

"Don't you wonder what new poison you have, how you got it, or do you already know the answer?"

Gao Ran directly questioned at this time, intending to prevent him from leaving immediately. She hadn't forgotten that Zuo Yi was still reluctant to tell her what the person who had only given him half of the antidote wanted to use him for?

Thinking of this, Gao Ran continued to ask, "Are you guarding against me, are you afraid that I will be unfavorable to the Jiaohuang?"—this was the only reasonable reason she could think of for a moment that could explain why Zuo Yihui was not only guarding against her, but also intended to "cover" another person who was taking advantage of him.

But Zuo Yi only stood still, but did not turn around, and did not seem to intend to answer her question.

The two were silent for a moment, and then it was Gao Ran who broke the silence first. She had no choice but to continue to finish her words:

"Don't you want to unravel the new poison in you?

"Let me tell you the truth, the new poison in you is actually the person I know who happened to be a new poison that is unique in the world when I last saw her, and she also named it 'Dream Poison'. I don't know if this dream poison really fell into the hands of someone else, or if the person who poisoned you was the one I knew, but I know how powerful it is.

"This dream poison, although as long as it does not accumulate enough weight, it will not worry about his life for the time being. But it has a characteristic: as long as this poison is not solved for a day, even if it does not accumulate enough to poison it, it will still remain in your body, integrate into your bones and blood, and actively absorb the components it needs through your body, and then precipitate little by little toxicity on its own, and continue to accumulate in your body until it finally accumulates enough amount, it will immediately induce toxicity and kill you.

"Suffice it to say, unless you can stop eating or drinking, you don't want to stop the increasing toxicity in your body.

"However, I'm a little curious, why did the person who poisoned you so painstakingly poison you in stages? Was she forced by conditions to leave behind any troubles? Or did she want to use you for a longer time, so she quietly gave you this deadly poison with a short or long incubation period while promising to unravel your Gu poison?

"So, do you want to continue to 'cover' her? even if she makes it clear that she is going to kill you in the end, you still don't want me to know what she wants to do with you?"

Speaking of this, Gao Ran unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth, sneered slightly, and suddenly changed the conversation, and his tone suddenly became much colder, but it was also much more serious. She went on to say:

"Uncle Zuo, do you really think that I will be so dull that I can't think of it, if you are afraid that I may be unfavorable to the Jiaohuang, so you are unwilling to reveal to me the true purpose of another person who is using you, then wouldn't I think that that person is likely to use you to murder the Jiaohuang?——?!——?

"And if that person really wants to kill you is not you, then the most likely person who can be murdered through you, who else can there be besides the Banana Emperor?

"But even so, what you are really afraid of is not whether I will really be unfavorable to the Banana Emperor, but that I will choose to bypass you and join forces with that person directly because I happen to have the same purpose as that person.

"And if that's the case, then whether you are really loyal to the Banana Emperor or not, my collusion with that person will be detrimental to you. In front of us, you will completely lose your only bargaining chip with our respective parties, and you will have no choice but to become an additional victim of our assassination of the Banana Emperor. - You, however, are just an unfortunate additional victim of the innocent victims.

"Uncle Zuo, you said, did I guess your mind?"
