CHAPTER 3: The Venom Pill's Poison

Rapidly turning her body around, a pale face greets her eyes. Using the moonlight to take a good look at the person's face, she secretly screams out "not good" inside, she really has gotten herself into big trouble.

A well-defined face, prominent facial features, with a taller build compared to the typical men, with the addition of his stiff speech, he is clearly a man of a different race, not to mention he's wearing a prisoner outfit, the prisoner outfit exposes areas that clearly shows evidence of torture, he is clearly a fugitive. Thinking of the great victory of the wars at the borders, and seeing so many soldiers outside the restaurant just now, Gui Wan had already made a rough guess of his ident.i.ty, he must be the defeated and captured commander of the Nu Tribe, concluding her thoughts, her heart laments, all the unfortunate matters seems to be happening today.

Ye Li almost have no strength to even hold up the dagger, escaping has already exhausted all his strength, but he cannot fall down now, he preserves his willpower as he only needs to change his clothes. Taking advantage of the dark, there is still the slightest trace of chance to escape the Capital, if it gets to daybreak, everything will be over. Just when he had wanted to take a breath, the youth he has held hostage suddenly turns around, causing him to be unable to react in time.

Kill him. He had just switched to this idea, taking a deep breath, but it is at that moment, he sees the youth's face.

Has the Lunar G.o.d heard his prayers, and so appears before him right now? He wonders.

Under the moonlight, half of the youth's face is in the light, half of it in the dark. The half that is in line with the light, peerlessly beautiful. The half that is hidden in the dark, peerlessly radiant. The appearance of such innocent face, under the moonlight faintly carries a treacherous charm.

Mind falling into a trance, Ye Li couldn't bring himself to cut down with the dagger. For generations, people of the Nu Tribe has worshipped the Lunar G.o.d and this youngster in front of him, has given him too much of a shock. In this perilous moment, he cannot tell if this is a dream or an illusion. Hardening his heart, he raises the dagger to his wrist, cutting at it, a stream of blood immediately flows out, feeling such biting pain, his mind clears up, and he attentively looks to the youth again.

He has often heard that the Celestial Empire (name used to refer to China in ancient times) has men with feminine appearance, never seeing it before, he had never believed this, but now......Ye Li felt somewhat disappointed from the heart, he had even thought that before his death, he had seen the Lunar G.o.d.

Neither of them says a word, remaining silent for a while.

Gui Wan's heart was beating rather fast, regretting her decision to turn around just now. In that moment when she had turned around, she had caught sight of the killing intent in the Nu man's eyes, right then, her heart had half frozen, her hand already touching the opening of her sleeves, if not for the last resort, she did not want to use this to protect her life. In this moment of hesitation, the man suddenly reveals a look of surprise, wonder, disbelief, his mouth gently reciting the words: "Suo Ge Ta (索格塔)?"

What's Suo Ge Ta? It's probably their Nu language. No matter what it means, those words had just saved her own life, also saving the other person's life, otherwise, it would definitely have been a lose-lose situation. Her thoughts went through twists and turns, thinking of how to get out of this, when she suddenly notices the way the man was looking at her was getting more and more strange, it even carried a look of dreaminess......has he gone out of his mind? She was just thinking whether to take advantage of this and run out, when the man made a move that rendered her immobile, he had actually used the dagger to cut into himself, the cut was rather deep, with blood pouring out from the wound.
