Chapter 4682 — I Wronged You

"Hold on, before we run, let's leave some evidence behind so Brother Ren can enjoy the show later!" Li Yuzhou said as he pulled a digital camera out of his backpack.
Ren Zhongyuan had bought it specially from the Central Chamber of Commerce at great expense to curry favor with Huo Yudie, but she hadn't even glanced at it before tossing it back, so after making the rounds it had ended up in the hands of his lackey. Wherever Ren Zhongyuan went, his follower had to carry it for him—and this trip was no exception.
Click, click! Li Yuzhou snapped two shots at the scene ahead, then without a word turned and bolted. Even if the couple had been too busy with their tryst to notice him before, they'd surely notice now—only a fool would stick around!
Sun Baolu lingered for one last look, then scurried after Li Yuzhou in a panic, terrified their targets might snap out of it.
Little did they know, Wei Zhao had spotted them from the very start. The distance wasn't exactly close, and he couldn't make out what they were saying, but the training Wei Zhao had received since childhood had made constant awareness of his surroundings a killer's basic discipline—even without his divine sense, he could sense the two of them clearly.
Still, he didn't dare lock onto them with his divine sense just then. He had only sensed their presence when he noticed a flash of light, and then the two of them were gone.

It wasn't that Wei Zhao didn't want to get up and drag those two sneaky creatures back—the problem was that he was busy drawing the poison out of Huo Yudie and had to stay utterly focused. He didn't even dare release his divine sense for fear that a single lapse would disrupt him, so how could he possibly stop halfway?
Those two were of no consequence to Wei Zhao; if they ran, they ran, so long as they didn't come back to make trouble. The pressing matter at hand was to suck all the poison out of Huo Yudie's body as soon as possible. Otherwise, not only would the girl suffer, but the Thunder Mystic Vine would surely be lost as well.
Another half hour passed, until Wei Zhao's entire mouth had gone completely numb from the venom's sting. Only then did some color return to Huo Yudie's calf—finally it no longer looked so horrifying.
Huo Yudie let out a soft moan and opened her eyes. This was the normal response of pain returning after Wei Zhao had drawn out most of the toxin, but the moment she opened her eyes she gave a sharp cry of alarm. Anyone who woke to find a man with his head buried under her skirt would react the same way.
Huo Yudie was furious and mortified all at once. Even as she screamed, she lifted her leg to kick Wei Zhao flying—but the result only frightened her further. She suddenly discovered that her leg wouldn't move at all!
True, Wei Zhao had already drawn out most of the poison, but some residue remained, and her leg was the very spot where she'd been bitten. With Wei Zhao's formidable constitution, impervious to a hundred poisons, his mouth had gone numb just from sucking it out for her—so if she could have lifted her leg to kick someone at that moment, that would have been truly a ghost sighting.
"You! You great lecher! What have you done to me? Why have you frozen my body so I can't move?" Huo Yudie was so ashamed and enraged that tears came to her eyes. She was a pure, untouched maiden—she'd never even held hands with a man—so how could she bear such a sudden, enormous shock? Right then she wished she could drag this shameless wretch Wei Zhao down to hell with her.
"Huh? What nonsense are you spouting?" Wei Zhao was stunned. Then he raised his head with a puzzled look—and the devil of it was, he hadn't wiped his lips clean. A bit of drool clung there, the kind all too likely to set the imagination racing. Even more exasperating, his mouth was still numb, so his words came out muffled as though he had something stuffed in his cheeks.
