"Were you not the one who kept clamouring that you could die for me? What happened? Don't tell me that you were only telling me empty words?" Shao Xia looked at Yuan Ni with a frown on her face; she looked like she was really upset with what Yuan Ni had just told her.
"No, no, that's not what I meant, Shao Xia. I never lied to you, but I never meant that I would die for you in such a way. I meant that if the situation called for it, I would protect you with my life. I never meant that I would die for you by eating mushrooms!?" He meant what he said, but who died so stupidly? He wanted to at least be remembered for doing something heroic instead of dying because he ate the wrong kind of mushroom.
"Why are you quibbling so much? I asked you to do it, so why won't you do it? Is it that difficult?" Shao Xia asked with an annoyed look. She was clearly very unhappy with the questions that Yuan Ni was raising when all she asked him to do was to lower his head and follow her command.
