Poison Genius Consort

ow he had to die no matter what.
He was about to pull Han Yunxi aside when he suddenly lost all strength in his body.
Unconsciously, he backed up a step and nearly toppled over.
Han Yunxi quickly caught him and leaned him against the wall.
But as soon as Long Feiye touched the wall, he really did lose all his strength and slowly slid to the ground.

He was…

Han Yunxi helped him sit and said softly, “Apologies, but you’ll recover in the length of time it takes to drink a cup of tea.” Undoubtedly, her shove just then wasn’t really to get him out of the way, but to poison him.

“Han Yunxi, you actually poisoned your lordship!” Long Feiye’s rage reached to the skies, his voice terrifyingly cold.
Though he had no strength, he emanated a killing intent strong enough to make one shiver.
Han Yunxi only pretended that she hadn’t heard a thing.
She avoided his murderous gaze and turned to rush into the room.
At this, all the guards were stunned silly.
They never thought there existed a person in this world who was capable of injuring the Duke of Qin.

The leader rushed forward and respected kneeled by Long Feiye’s side, asking in a low voice, “Your Highness Duke of Qin, this door…”

Should they shut this door again, or allow it to stay ajar?

If they didn’t close it, the Tang Clan Sealed Death technique would broken.
If they did, then Qin Wangfei would die without fail inside as well.
None of the guards dared to speak, but Long Feiye naturally understood what they meant.
He leaned listlessly against the wall, looking inside the room without replying to the guard.
The guard stayed with his head lowered and back bowed, wondering if His Highness Duke of Qin had missed his question.
Or maybe he didn’t want to reply? Or even, perhaps, he was considering whether or not to truly shut this door? The guard waited for awhile, but Long Feiye simply ignored him.
If this kept on, the people inside would almost break out, so he bolstered his courage and asked again, “Your Highness Duke of Qin, this door…”

Finally, Long Feiye looked at the guard, who was thrilled.
He waited for a reply, but all Long Feiye did was stare at him without speaking.
The guard felt his scalp turn numb from the staring.
He could hear the sounds of combat getting closer and closer to the door, so he could only move to close the door himself.
No matter what, they should shut it first.
The slaughter inside wouldn’t finish so quickly, nor would the Tang Clan unleash their Human Assassination Weapon so soon.

But as soon as he moved to close the door, Long Feiye immediately spoke up.
“Beat it!”

Frightened, the guard’s hands shook as he hastily got out of the way to avoid guilt.
The door remained open, and Long Feiye remained sitting by its entrance as he looked inside.
The prescribed time was almost up.
Though the sounds of combat were getting closer, Han Yunxi and Gu Qishao still hadn’t shown up.
If Gu Qishao couldn’t even get out, Jun Yixie’s Poison Humans had even less of a chance.
The cold aura around Long Feiye grew more and more intense as he slowly narrowed his eyes.

Han Yunxi, you damnable woman, are you coming out or not? If you have the skills to charge inside, don’t you have the skills to get back out?

Or perhaps, you’re using your own life to pressure your lordship to release Gu Qishao?

Time trickled by slowly.
Finally, Long Feiye turned towards the leader of the guards, who gave a start and didn’t dare to move.
But just as he was about to speak up, a flash of red went past as Gu Qishao flew out with Han Yunxi in his arms.
There was a dart stuck in his shoulder where blood flowed unceasingly, but Han Yunxi was perfectly unharmed.
As soon as they landed, a few black-robed figures followed them out.
They were precisely Jun Yixie’s Poison Humans.
The Tang Clan guards rushed out after them, thus breaking the Tang Clan Sealed Death technique.
Han Yunxi immediately shook off Gu Qishao’s hands to rush to Long Feiye’s side.
Even the Tang Clan guards couldn’t compare to her speed.
She was very clear as to the potency of her poison.
Even though Long Feiye would recover very soon, right now he was completely powerless.
In such a chaotic situation, he’d be the one in most danger.

Han Yunxi guarded Long Feiye with one hand while shooting with her Pear Blossom Teardrop Rain on the other.
Very soon, the guards surrounded Long Feiye as well while the rest of them kept up the slaughter against the Poison Humans.
Chaos reigned over the entire scene.
Gu Qishao kept one hand pressed against the wound on his shoulder, his face as white as a sheet.
He stood just outside of the chaotic fighting, looking at Han Yunxi from a distance.
There was a rather helpless curve to his lips.
Just a moment ago, this woman had given up everything to rush in and find him, but now she was giving her all to rush to another man’s side and protect him.

Han Yunxi, just what is this gentleman supposed to do with you?

Currently, Long Feiye was in the center of a protective circle.
Though he was separated from all the fighting, his cold eyes pierced through the crowds to fixate on Gu Qishao.
Seeing this, Gu Qishao withdrew his helpless expression and replaced it with his usual playful, dazzling, devil-may-care smirk.
He laughed loudly and said, “Poison lass, you’ve already risked your life to save me, but you still won’t leave with me? Think it over carefully, I’ll find you again in three days.”

So speaking, he turned and fled.
Han Yunxi was long used to such words and treated it as another one of Gu Qishao’s indecent jokes.
She didn’t take it to heart, but focused her attention on the danger around them.
She was the one who’d robbed Long Feiye of his strength.
If he died because of her, she’d wouldn’t be able to atone for the crime even with her own death.
But Long Feiye only asked coldly, “Qin Wangfei, do you two plan to elope?”

Han Yunxi gave a start before realizing she was Long Feiye’s proper consort.
Just then, Gu Qishao had taken liberties with her right in front of Long Feiye’s face….
