Chapter 1264

“As for what principle this follows, even I can’t figure it out until now.

I can only say it’s beyond the scope of science.”

“Isn’t it possible to test or study their blood?

Scientists seem to like doing this sort of thing, don’t they?”

At the thought of this, Baili Xia’s body involuntarily shivered slightly.

“What are you afraid of? Scared they’ll use you as a test subject?” Nangong Xu immediately spotted her concern.

Baili Xia nodded seriously, “I am scared.”

Nangong Xu didn’t speak for a moment.

He stared at her fixedly, and after a while, his expression hardened.

He spoke in a deep voice.

“The fact that your blood can neutralize toxins must never be revealed.”

“Mr. Bei’s blood has the same property, but no one would dare to capture him for research. However, you’re different.”

Baili Xia was startled by his suddenly serious tone.

After hearing his explanation, a chill shot straight up her spine, spreading to every corner of her body.

She felt icy cold all over, as though she’d fallen into a frozen cellar.

“Finally scared now, huh?

From now on, don’t ever mention your blood’s antidote properties carelessly again.”

“You have no power, no status.

If people find out, you’ll be captured for research the moment you step outside.”

“That’s so inhumane,” she muttered.

Nangong Xu furrowed his brows and nodded forcefully.

“It’s not about humanity or lack thereof.

It’s about how some people will chase profit, seeking only personal gain.”

“Your blood, to certain individuals in the medical field, holds immense value.

Do you understand?”

“Not every person adept at pharmaceuticals is a good person in this world.”

“I understand, Master.

I will absolutely never speak of this again.”

Wait, that day at the hunting ground, weren’t Mu Ziying and Dongfang Jin also present?

Dongfang Jin and Dongfang Ji aren’t the type to gossip, but Ziying… She may not harbor malicious intent, but her mouth—she might not be able to keep it shut.

“Don’t worry about Ziying.

Mr.

Xiaojiu will handle this matter.

In any case, unless you have no other choice, do not use your blood to save people.”

“Otherwise, once your secret leaks, your life—no one will be able to guarantee how long you’ll survive.”

“Got it, Master.

I absolutely wouldn’t dare to speak recklessly.”

She wasn’t Mr.

Bei, not like him, constantly surrounded by bodyguards for protection.

Besides, Fan Yi was always accompanying him.

While Fan Yi might hold enmity toward him, it couldn’t be denied that he was certainly a formidable expert.

For someone with status and power like Mr.

Bei, regular people wouldn’t dare to do anything to him.

But if it were her, things wouldn’t be so certain.

She had no power, no influence, no wealth, and barely anyone around her.

If someone captured her, there’d be nothing stopping them.

If she were taken, hidden away to be experimented on, then perhaps her life would be over.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

Her fingertips gripped the edge of the blanket tightly, and even her breathing grew ragged.

“Don’t you have Mr. Mu by your side? Your brother is highly skilled in martial arts—staying with him is good for your safety.”

Nangong Xu looked at her pale face, his voice softening slightly.

“Stay close to Mr.

Mu, and you’ll be safe.”

“So, Uncle insists I marry my brother for the sake of my safety?” Baili Xia shot him a glare, letting out a cold sneer.

“That could very well be one reason.”

Nangong Xu didn’t say more.

Matters of emotional entanglement like this were neither his concern, nor something he understood.
