She sat down next to him. His heart was filled with both excitement and unease. He couldn't believe that all this was real. She had become his wife. He now had a family, and his heart finally had a place to rest.
From then on, he would no longer be alone.
The sweet scent of licorice on her was incredibly strong. He buried his chin in the crook of her shoulder and greedily inhaled, becoming more and more obsessed. The arm around her slender waist tightened involuntarily. She blushed and turned her head away.
Disgust welled up in her heart. She thought Wu Qing was extremely repulsive!
Liu Yushu tried her best to endure the shame and anger in her heart, hoping that he would quickly detoxify her. Otherwise, she really would take action against him.
Thinking of this, she tightened her grip on the tin can in her sleeve. At this moment, the two of them were so close that there was no space between them. It was the perfect opportunity for her to act.
If he went any further, even if she had to perish together with him, she would kill him.
She wouldn't let him ruin her innocence.
Suddenly, her chin was pinched, interrupting Liu Yushu's train of thought. Her watery eyes widened suddenly. In her panicked pupils was reflected Wu Qing's cold and handsome face. His passionate and intoxicated look made her tremble with fear.
She clearly understood his intentions towards her.
No! She couldn't let this madman succeed!
Liu Yushu turned her head away in annoyance and said, "Today is not a formal wedding. We are not real husband and wife."
"Why?" Wu Qing growled angrily. He didn't understand why Liu Yushu would say such a spoil - sport thing!
Her words enraged him deeply!
Liu Yushu sneered, "If you really want to marry me, you should do it openly and properly through the proper match - making process, instead of being so sneaky and furtive like you are now!"
"You..." Although Wu Qing was angry, he thought Liu Yushu's words made a lot of sense and couldn't refute them.
He grabbed her hand and threatened, "Don't you want to be detoxified?"
Liu Yushu was stunned. "You promised to detoxify me! You can't go back on your word!"
Wu Qing smiled triumphantly, a malicious smile on his face. "Of course I won't go back on my word. If you want to be detoxified, kiss me!"
"Of course, I buried the poison very deep. I almost found it just now. Don't interrupt me again." The soft look in his eyes concealed a sharp knife, making her shiver with fear. He was threatening her again, making her lose all her self - esteem.
She sobbed silently, enduring the shame. With a tingling scalp, she closed her eyes, and tears streamed down continuously. She thought that if this was the case, she would rather die from the poison.
She made up her mind and pretended to agree with him. When he saw her taking the initiative, in his ecstasy, he let go of her hand. She took the opportunity to take out the tin can from her sleeve. While Wu Qing was deeply obsessed, she opened the can. The poisonous toad inside quickly crawled into his clothes. He trembled and suddenly let go of her. She staggered and almost fell to the ground.
When she looked up at Wu Qing again, the veins on his hands and face were bulging. He grabbed his hideous face with both hands. His expression was extremely painful. His face was pale and his lips were purple. It was obvious that the poison had taken effect.
This poisonous toad was extremely venomous and hard to find in the world. Those who were poisoned had only one way out - death. Even if they didn't die immediately, they would be disabled for life, and there was no antidote for this poison. Even if the poisoned person didn't die right away, they would eventually die from the poison; it was just a matter of time.
"What... did you do to me?" Wu Qing's index finger clawed at the wooden table. His nails scratching the table made a harsh sound. One nail peeled off, and drops of blood fell on the table. His eyes rolled up, and his whole body trembled violently like someone having an epileptic seizure.
Oh my god, it was so terrifying!
Liu Yushu was greatly shocked by Wu Qing's appearance after the poison took effect. She took trembling steps backward. A thought kept lingering uneasily in her mind: Would he die?
She didn't know that the poisonous toad was so venomous. She thought it was just an ordinary poisonous insect and only wanted to give Wu Qing a small punishment. She never expected the consequences to be so serious.
"You..." Wu Qing stood up with great difficulty. He reached out his hand towards Liu Yushu. Blood was already oozing from the corners of his eyes and mouth. He looked even more terrifying than before.
"Stay away from me. Get out of here." Liu Yushu turned around and ran. As soon as she got out of the door, she shouted, "Help! There's a thief!" After running out of the courtyard, she found that the mansion was completely dark. Except for her room, there was not a single light. It was eerily quiet all around. Every time she shouted, she could hear her own echo.
What was going on? What had happened in the mansion? Where were the guards?
