"Brother Qian!"
"Brother Qian!"
Brother Qian's companions were nervous, hesitant, and scared, wanting to stop him.
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? The Beautiful Ghost Heroine said herself, as long as we don't reveal what happens tonight, we'll be fine. I just need to make sure I don't spill the beans, and I'll be safe and sound!" Brother Qian suddenly seemed to feel a surge of boldness.
"Right, that's the spirit!" Xiao Yao nodded in approval. "Here, take this and eat it. You'll be fine!" Easy for you to say when you're not the one eating it, of course you'd say it's fine.
Brother Qian took the pill without a word, popped it into his mouth, and swallowed. Xiao Yao, of course, knew that the pill had been swallowed, since it was the kind that melts upon contact with saliva and couldn't be kept in the mouth for long.
Brother Qian's companions watched him with intense fear, probably wanting to see if the pill was poisonous, and if it would take immediate effect upon ingestion.
