"Heh. So you're burning the bridge after crossing it?" Wei Zhao could not help but laugh, though his face still wore the look of one holding all the winning cards. Smiling faintly, he said: "It's just a pity you've torn it down a bit too early—you haven't even fully crossed yet. Isn't tearing it down now just digging a pit for yourself?"
"What do you mean?" Huo Yudie's eyelid twitched at his expression.
"Simple. Aren't you still so numb you can't move? That means the poison hasn't been fully drawn out. What I sucked away just now was only some toxin lingering near the surface, but during this time some of it has already been absorbed into your body, fused into you so deeply it's hard to expel. So I'd estimate that in a few more hours, the poison will have reached your very marrow..." Wei Zhao said with a faint smile, looking down at her from above.
"What?!" All trace of good humor drained from Huo Yudie in an instant. Frightened out of her wits by Wei Zhao, she was utterly at a loss, her face full of terror: "Really? You're not lying to me?!"
"True or false—just feel for yourself and you'll know. This is something you should understand better than I do. See how far the poison has progressed in your body. If it really had been completely removed, why would your legs still refuse to move?" Wei Zhao said indifferently.
"This..." Not daring to be negligent, Huo Yudie carefully sensed her body as Wei Zhao had instructed, and her heart sank to the bottom of her stomach. Just as he had said, the toxin that hadn't been drawn out had already seeped through her blood into her body, and if it continued to spread, even the gods themselves would not be able to save her.
"Well? Have you thought it through?" Wei Zhao stood to one side with his arms crossed, watching her at his leisure.
"That fool was absolutely right—you really are a eunuch!" Huo Yudie could not help but grow angry. Blinking pitifully, tears glistening like pear blossoms in the rain, she pouted: "I begged you so earnestly, and you still want to take advantage of me—and that kind of advantage at that!"
"Oh? Then would you rather I weren't a eunuch and took that other kind of advantage—or are you saying you wish I'd just..." Wei Zhao's lips curled into a knowing smile at her words.
"Uh..." Huo Yudie was struck speechless, only then realizing the ambiguity in her own words. Her lovely face flushed bright red once more—this time so fiercely that even her veil could not hide it. She hurriedly buried her head against her chest and mumbled: "Fine, fine, two-eight it is. Now hurry up and cure my poison!"
"That's more like it. This may hurt a bit—bear with it." Wei Zhao chuckled, then knelt down on the ground again and brought his mouth to her wound. His lips had gone utterly numb before, but after resting for a while, they had recovered completely.
"Mmh!" Feeling the suction from Wei Zhao's mouth, Huo Yudie suddenly let out a low cry of ambiguous meaning, then blushed crimson at her own reaction. Though her legs were still numb, because so much of the toxin had been expelled, she could now feel at least a little sensation.
Especially now, with Wei Zhao drawing out the poison with his mouth—the sensation was less a sharp sting than a faint stimulation tinged with pain; and indeed, Huo Yudie even found the pain rather pleasant. (To be continued..) R752
