Chapter 710: Coercion

Cousin Mo’s voice was very gentle. “Isn’t it normal to be like them? In fact, I look like them too. After all, we share the same bloodline.”

I pouted.

He reached out and touched my head. “Dragons have nine sons, and they are all different. I don’t object to you holding a grudge against them. In the future, when we fight, I won’t show any mercy either. However, Nanxing, don’t let yourself be shackled. It was them who made the choice to come after us. It’s not our fault. We have a clear conscience.”

I looked at him. “But I feel guilty.”

His hand paused. “Why?”

I reached out to grab his wrist. “You’re the reason why! You don’t let me save you. Are you trying to make me feel guilty, letting me know that my blood can save you, but you insist on me watching you die? Cousin Mo, you don’t like me anymore. You want me to suffer in guilt for the rest of my life. You want to punish me for the bad luck I’ve brought to the Tong Family!”

Tears streamed down my face. Cousin Mo panicked. “Nanxing, that’s not my intention.”

I turned around and ignored him.

He quickly grabbed my hand. “Nanxing, don’t think like that. The bad luck of the Tong family was caused by the unfilial descendants. What does it have to do with you? Why would you be responsible? I also never thought of making you feel guilty. It’s my body that has problems. It’s not your fault. Did little uncle say something to you?”

I felt extremely wronged. I pushed his hand away and stood up.

“Cousin Mo, you’re the worst. You’d rather die than let me save you. Do you know how important you are to me? If I only found out about all this after you died, how did you expect me to live the rest of my life in peace?” I shouted at him.

Cousin Mo finally understood what I was feeling.

His expression darkened. “Nanxing, you can’t cure my illness.”

He was finally willing to face his illness head-on.

“I can cure it! Who says I can’t? My blood is your medicine! Mr. Li has already told me!” I grabbed his hand and refused to let go.

He smiled bitterly. “Then did Mr. Li tell you that your blood will only alleviate the symptoms and not cure the cause?”

I didn’t care. “So what? I can alleviate your symptoms for as long as you live. I will use my blood to cure your daily. I’m very healthy. My Phoenix Blood has been cleansed. I can keep you alive!”

“Are you going to do that for my whole life?”

I nodded. “Yes. What? Do you think I can’t do that?”

Cousin Mo didn’t say anything.

“It’s you who can’t accept it. You can’t accept that you’ll have to rely on me. You’d rather die than live like that. You knew about little uncle and my whereabouts, but you didn’t come to find us. You know everything. You think you’ve arranged everything, including Ye Qian. You didn’t even include little uncle and me. You selfish bastard!” I gave him a hard slap on his arm. “You only care about yourself. You can die without regrets because the regrets will all be with us! Little Uncle will be tortured for failing to save you. I will be tortured because you don’t allow me to save you. You’re so evil!”

Cousin Mo was stunned. He had obviously never considered the problem from this angle.

“Nanxing, I… I didn’t… I never thought about it like that,” he said anxiously.

“But that’s what you did.” I pressed on. “You believed what you did was for our own good, but it is only good for you. You can die peacefully, but you made it so that the rest of us would never have peace in our lives! You did it on purpose!” I refused to let him off.
