Immediately, Wei WuXian spun around to leave. However, just one step outside of the teahouse, a tall, dark shadow had hovered over him and struck him hard in the chest.
It happened so suddenly, LiangLin had no time to react. The dragon bracelet came to life as the dragon raised its head and opening its jaws wide, bit down on his arm. LiangLin opened his mouth to cry out but he couldn't produce a sound. He could feel a piece of his soul break away, leaving behind a terrible void before his surroundings darkened. His knees gave out from under him and he fainted.
He had never seen and certainly never expected a prostitute this devoted to sleeping instead of taking the bait of a promise of some life force. Somehow he felt a little disappointed.
He choked, "… You said I'd be the sect leader and you'd be my subordinate, you said you'd help me your whole life, you said you'd never betray the YunmengJiang Sect… You said so yourself."
Just as he was about to pour the wine, he paused for a split second, warning himself immediately, If he doesn't drink it, then let it go. If he drinks it, I'll only ask a few things. I definitely won't do anything else. I only have to know what he thinks. He won't remember anything after he wakes up anyways… It won't interfere with anything.
"Ah! There is no such thing!" He waved his hand at her dismissively. His heart had already been stolen long ago! But he was only now becoming aware of it. Yuan Xuelan wanted to slam his face into the nearest tree. How could such a realization take so long? When he thought of Liu Sumeng so desperately, so frequently. Yuan Xuelan sighed.
"Boy," Huo Tang snapped him out of his chaotic trance, "Keep that head of yours steady on your shoulders and stop wasting your time on foolish thoughts."
…Could it be? That Liu Sumeng was jealous? Yuan Xuelan shook his head. No, that couldn't be it, could it? It didn't fit Liu Sumeng's character. But his mind was already riding away with that fantasy even as he tried to stop it. Yuan Xuelan, like a fool, could only think that Liu Sumeng was incredibly cute.
Liu Sumeng realized his mistake but it was too late. He allowed his feelings and impatience to get the better of him and wanted to blame the harlot before his eyes. But Nan Chang was only batting her lids at him, innocent and confused. For she could not begin to guess what transgressions she made against him for him to antagonize her so.
