All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 521: The Terminally Ill Heiress on Death Game Island (37)

The spoon accidentally hitting the bowl made a soft sound, attracting everyone’s attention.

Quite a few people looked at Qiann Yan still eating slowly, not seeming tense at all, and felt a lot of discontent inside.

Qiann Yan sensed the gaze of these people and lifted her eyes to scan around.

The indifferent gaze made everyone avoid making eye contact, quickly lowering their heads or shifting their eyes in other directions.

Qiann Yan continued eating. Perhaps thinking one bowl of congee wasn’t enough, she went back to buy two eggs.

She slowly peeled the eggs, and everyone couldn’t help but stare at her again.

"Actually, having a terminal illness might be good. At least when facing life and death, we’re not as tense as the rest. Everyone loses their appetite, but if you have a terminal illness, you live one day and earn another, eating and drinking without worries." The speaker was Zhang Lingling, who, despite revealing the truth about the cage earlier, wasn’t punished but also didn’t receive any reward.

If she were rewarded generously for lying earlier, she wouldn’t have hesitated. Who knows how long you can survive here; you might as well live more comfortably.

Chen Xiao, sitting next to Zhang Lingling, agreed, "That’s indeed the case, at least we’re still hoping to get out."

"Do you want to try having a terminal illness?" Qiann Yan stopped peeling the egg and glanced at the two. "Just as an old illness turns you into a doctor, if you want a terminal illness, I’ll swap some IV tubes later and infuse you with some blood from this terminally ill patient to fulfill your wish."

Chen Xiao’s face darkened, "What do you mean by that?"

"Aren’t you envious of having a terminal illness? I’m granting your wish." Qiann Yan separated the egg white and stuffed it into her mouth, her brows furrowing slightly. Unable to taste the flavor, she felt physiologically nauseated.

A body with a terminal illness cannot compare to a healthy one.

Thinking about it is one thing, but saying it in front of her, do they think her illness makes her easy to bully?

"Anyone who thinks having a terminal illness is comfortable, I can fulfill it. I’ll give you some blood to experience it; I still have some to spare."

Zhang Lingling and Chen Xiao fell silent.

Qiann Yan quietly continued eating until a small bowl appeared before her, containing a good quality bird’s nest congee.

She looked in the direction of the hand holding the bowl. Once again, it was Bai Huai; she wasn’t surprised at his presence.

"Try this, it should be easier to swallow." Bai Huai said, glancing at Jing XiYuaan’s face. "She’s at least your fiancée, being spoken of like this, won’t you defend her? Knowing that a body with illness struggles to eat, do you healthy people feel proud bullying a patient?"

Jing XiYuaan immediately showed a guilty expression, "Yanyan, sorry, I zoned out earlier and didn’t react. We’re all in the same team, given the circumstances here, a few complaints are inevitable, not intentionally trying to hurt you."

Jing XiYuaan’s words seemed to ease Zhang Lingling and Chen Xiao.

"Everyone knows Yanyan’s health is poor, please be more accommodating." Jing XiYuaan said to the others.

Bai Huai’s demeanor turned cold. He knew Jing XiYuaan’s intent was to unite them, preventing a fallout over trivial matters.

But he was displeased.

Yet he couldn’t say anything, Qiann Yan still needed to cooperate with these people. What if he said something unfavorable, and they caused trouble?

She was fortunate enough to be chosen for the cage, unlike him. If her luck doesn’t hold, she would have to depend on her teammates.

Bai Huai sat beside, sulking silently, clearly unhappy.

"Are you angry?" Qiann Yan asked Bai Huai.

After the meal, Jing XiYuaan busied himself again, seemingly reassured at her sitting with Bai Huai talking.

"A bit." Bai Huai pouted, "You have a good temper."
