After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 182 Passive

In the woods outside Yuanguang Town, the Tian family was attacked and all of them were bitten by venomous snakes, falling to the ground unable to get up.

This situation left Cao Qimei and the others feeling utterly hopeless.

They had no idea how unlucky they had been, how careless they had been, to stumble into a snake pit and be attacked by so many venomous snakes, leading to their terrible fate.

This is the middle of nowhere; they don't know if anyone will come here, or if anyone will come to rescue them.

If they continue to linger here, will their entire family be wiped out?

Thinking of the worst possible consequences, Cao Qimei became even more anxious.

Unfortunately, she was the only one still conscious; the rest of them had fallen into a coma and were in critical condition.

Looking around, Cao Qimei was still thinking of searching to see if she could find any useful herbs that could help detoxify them and do her best to provide first aid and save their lives.

Unfortunately, all around them were ordinary weeds, and she couldn't find any useful herbs.

This situation made Cao Qimei even more desperate.

The pain in her calf and left hand was intensifying and spreading, indicating that the poisoning was becoming more severe. Cao Qimei felt panicked and short of breath, and she really didn't want to die here, or have her whole family die here.

They also needed to rush to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town to support Tian Jiao'e, Yuan Zhiman, and Yuan Yutong, and to see if they could get some benefits from the Yuan family. They definitely didn't want to die in such a place, so close to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town.

All of this made Cao Qimei even more desperate.

They were almost at Yuanguang Town, almost at the Yuan family's place, when this unexpected turn of events happened at this very moment. They were incredibly unlucky!

Thinking about all this, Cao Qimei wanted to climb up and look around, but she was too weak and the pain was getting worse, so she couldn't move at all. She could only lean against the tree trunk and look up at the sky through the branches and leaves in despair, wondering if this would be their last chance.

They must have been so unlucky to encounter such a terrifying snake den and be attacked by so many venomous snakes! They must have forgotten to check the almanac before setting off on their journey!

While the Tian family members fell into a coma and were unable to escape, Miao Lanyi watched everything coldly from inside the forest.

These venomous snakes were all under Miao Lanyi's control, attacking the Tian family members methodically, biting them every now and then, but not killing them directly, only increasing their pain and torment.

Miao Lanyi handled everything according to Lü Xinyan's instructions, intending to torture the Tian family and make them wish they were dead, without directly taking their lives.

Miao Lanyi found it strange when she received these tasks.

However, these were all tasks personally assigned by Lü Xinyan, and Miao Lanyi could only follow orders and would not make decisions on her own.

She had no idea whether there were still spies of Lü Xinyan around her. Otherwise, how could Lü Xinyan know about her affairs so quickly?

If she did anything wrong, Lü Xinyan would quickly send someone to tell her what she was doing.

This situation frightened Miao Lanyi, who dared not underestimate Lü Xinyan's abilities any longer. She obediently followed Lü Xinyan's instructions to complete various tasks and no longer acted on her own initiative.

Such a formidable person as Lü Xinyan is not someone she can afford to provoke.

Moreover, she is currently poisoned and needs the antidote given by Lü Xinyan to prolong her life, so she dares not go against Lü Xinyan.

The difference in skill and ability between her and Lü Xinyan was too great. She was completely at a disadvantage and was no match for her. Preserving her life was the most important thing.

Having been manipulated by Lü Xinyan in this way, Miao Lanyi was constantly on the defensive and subjected to so many constraints. She could only sigh at her bad luck.

If she hadn't gone after the Lü family, she might not have offended Lü Xinyan and wouldn't have ended up in such a terrible situation.

Fortunately, she still had some value, which prevented Lü Xinyan from taking her life directly.

Now, Miao Lanyi only hopes that Lü Xinyan will give her the antidote when the time comes, since she has been relatively obedient, and stop torturing her like this.

Falling into Lü Xinyan's hands was the worst thing that had ever happened to her, but she still didn't know if there was really any chance to get rid of Lü Xinyan.

Will Lü Xinyan set her free as promised?

All of this is still unknown, but Miao Lanyi is very clear that Lü Xinyan is using various methods to monitor her every move, and she has no choice.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Miao Lanyi checked the Tian family members' condition again.

Seeing that all these people had been poisoned and were suffering greatly, but there was still time and chance to save them, and only Cao Qimei was still conscious, and the mission had been completed according to the rules, Miao Lanyi urged the poisonous snakes here to leave.

After dealing with the Tian family, she still had other things to attend to.

Lu Xinyan has assigned her quite a few tasks, and she needs to hurry up and complete them.

Only after completing all these tasks can she continue to obtain a better antidote from Lü Xinyan and resolve her poisoning condition.

However, Miao Lanyi didn't know how those people had offended Lü Xinyan to suffer such retaliation, forcing her to come and inflict snake venom on them, causing them to suffer greatly and making it difficult to completely cure the poison.

Lu Xinyan's methods of revenge are particularly frightening to look at.

Of course, she herself wasn't much better off. She was infected and still needs to keep completing tasks to get some of the antidote, but she still can't be completely cured.

As a Gu master from Southern Chu, she was poisoned by Lü Xinyan's scheme and was no match for her at all, which was a disgrace to her.

Unfortunately, Miao Lanyi was outmaneuvered by Lü Xinyan and poisoned, which caused her to lose the initiative.

Although she herself was very capable, after being poisoned she kept trying to find a way to detoxify, but the situation did not go as smoothly as she had expected.

Lu Xinyan's abilities were even more unfathomable than she had anticipated, making it difficult for her to regain the initiative. She could only follow Lu Xinyan's demands.
