462: Mind Control

Mind Control

If this were any other time, my belief was that if two lovers couldn't be together in life, then they should be together in death.1

However, at that moment, I only wanted Jing Tian to live. It didn't matter if I die, I wanted him to live! It didn't matter if he forgot all about me, I wanted him to live!

That was my only wish. I wanted Jing Tian to live!

I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw Ma Ji walking in. I was so happy that I cried.

"Ma Ji, I need him to live. I don't mind as long as he is alive." I said incoherently. 

Ma Ji sighed helplessly. "Nanxing, is it really worth it?"

I laughed, and my tears fell. "Ma Ji, it's worth it. I've already been reborn once. In my previous life, he saved me. In this life, I will save him. I will accept it even if he forgets me. Ma Ji, I only want him to be alive and well."

Ma Ji sighed. "Alright, I'll help you."

My blood flowed into a long-necked glass container. Ma Ji was very focused. I had confidence that she could save Jing Tian.

My vision became blurry. I turned around to look at Jing Tian. His face was as pale as a piece of paper, and his handsome facial features were even more distinct due to his thin frame.

Jing Tian, be well. I have nothing else to ask for as long as you're safe and healthy.

My eyelids became heavier until I lost my consciousness.

I didn't know how long it had passed before I woke up. Ma Ji sat before my bed. She was still in the same outfit.

"You're finally awake?" She asked me with a gentle smile.

I shook my head. "Ma Ji, I thought I was reborn again."

Ma Ji sighed, "You're not wrong about that. Every calamity ends with rebirth."

"Is he..." I asked hesitantly.

Ma Ji nodded. "Don't worry. He's fine. If you want me to explain it in modern medical terms, his cells are renewing. This process will take about twenty-eight days. A week has already passed."

I heaved a sigh of relief. "A week has passed?"

Ma Ji nodded. "Yes. You have been reborn too. Your blood and love worked as a catalyst to cure his poison."

I nodded. I didn't quite understand it, but as long as Jing Tian was fine, I was fine.

"Nanxing, he could fall in love with you again in the future." Ma Ji said softly. I looked at her in surprise. "However, you can't see him in the next three years, or everything we did will be futile."

My heart dropped. Three years, who knew what would happen in three years.

Ma Ji tucked the corner of my blanket in.

"It's clever that you brought the woman who poisoned Jing Tian back with you. But there are both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you can relieve Jing Tian's pain and give him temporary peace. But, the disadvantage is that she can use close proximity to control Jing Tian's mind. For example, she could order him to kill you." Ma Ji explained.

I widened my eyes. "Make him... kill me?"

Ma Ji nodded.

I asked in a trembling voice, "What if Jing Tian refused?"

Ma Ji shook her head. "He can't. This new forget-me-not is a lot more sinister than what my sister created. I discovered that when I was with Old Master Han. These people didn't want to use the poison to secure love. They want to use it to control people's minds. Your Jing Tian is very powerful. He has been resisting that woman's mind control."
