Dating My Scumbag Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 729: The Antidote

I was a little confused by Ma Ji’s words.

Ma Ji smiled and suddenly raised her right hand. Her five fingers turned into claws and stabbed at her heart.

“Ah!” Su Shen and I screamed.

“Ma Ji! What are you doing?” I tried to open the iron door, but it was locked.

I turned around and yelled at Su Shen, “Key!” Ma Ji’s smile didn’t change as she looked at me.

“Ma Ji! Don’t do anything stupid!” I fidgeted outside the rails. Ma Ji’s face paled. Su Shen finally came with the key. My hands shook so much that I couldn’t get the key into the keyhole three consecutive times.

Su Shen snatched it over and opened the door with a bang.

“Ma Ji…” I moved to Ma Ji’s side. Ma Ji’s five fingers stabbed deeply into her heart. She looked at me with a smile in her eyes.

“Nanxing, for so many years, I’ve kept a little bit of your blood. I used sorcery to fuse it into my blood, and then it accumulated in my heart bit by bit, using my heart’s blood to nourish it. It’s just like, using a clamshell to nourish a pearl. When the time comes, my blood will have the same effect as the Phoenix Blood. However, Tong Hui betrayed me, so Tong Zhuo doesn’t have the right to use it anymore. Nanxing, I trust you. Help me take care of Tong Yan. Take this blood as your reward.”

Before I could react, Ma Ji pulled out her five fingers.

The blood did not spurt out. Instead, it slowly flowed out.

The blood that flowed out coagulated automatically. Blood-colored beads fell onto Ma Ji’s palms.

Su Shen and I were dumbfounded.

Ma Ji raised her head, and her smile was so weak that it seemed as if it would disappear in the next second.

“Nanxing, for a person like me, if I die, I’ll have to go to the eighteenth level of hell. I’m afraid that I’ll stay down there forever. However, it doesn’t matter. My life is already interesting enough. I won’t threaten you and say that I’d come back as a malicious spirit to haunt you if you don’t take care of Tong Yan. I don’t have that power anymore.” Ma Ji chuckled lightly, “Nanxing, I believe you. Give my heart’s blood to Mr. Li. This is the only clean thing I have left. Go and save Tong Mo. Before you find the medicinal herbs, my heart’s blood is enough to ensure his safety.”

She gestured for Su Shen to come forward and receive the item in her hand.

I looked at Ma Ji in shock. “Ma Ji, I will definitely take good care of Tong Yan as you requested. If she is willing, I can keep Tong Yan by my side. I will personally take care of her.”

Ma Ji was a little flattered. “Nanxing, you’re too kind.”

I nodded heavily. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely treat her well.”

Ma Ji smiled. “Alright! Thank you! Remember to get Mr. Li to erase her memories. It’s best if she doesn’t know how to love for the rest of her life. Without a man, she can at least live a stable life. With a man, there will be endless storms.”

Ma Ji’s voice became weaker and weaker. I hurriedly supported her. “Su Shen, go get Mr. Li! Quick!”

I comforted Ma Ji. “Ma Ji, don’t sleep. Mr. Li will definitely save you!”

Ma Ji leaned on me, and she gently shook her head. “There’s no need, Nanxing. I volunteered for this. In my entire life, I’ve never been so willing to do something for someone else. Nanxing, I’m very happy. Finally, I can leave a trace of my life behind.”

Ma Ji slowly closed her eyes.

My tears fell on her hair.

Ma Ji’s life was extremely pure. She would do anything for love. She wouldn’t hold back for her family. She had done everything she could for both her lover and daughter. Furthermore, she didn’t ask for anything in return. She just wanted to live for herself.
