Chapter 358 - Game begin (2/2)

When he had mentioned the aftertaste, Yue Yan had stiffened in surprise before she quickly reassured herself. There was no way he could discern the taste of Lethe under the overpowering taste of wine, but even that didn't matter. There was one final property that the waters contained that made it dangerous even if a person had only been exposed to the mist of the river.

Addiction, the waters were addictive, it sparked a siren song in the mind of the people it touched; driving them to a need to feed their minds to the rivers until they were washed completely clear of everything that made them who they were. Some even drowned themselves in the mad rush to answer the call of the river.

Lei Zhao topped his glass again and polished it off in a gulp, forsaking his usual good manners in the wake of the need to have more. A man of his personality in his right sense would have no doubt noticed how he was behaving irrationally but he was too far gone.

Yue Yan watched him with an amused smile, going as far as dropping her glamour but her beauty was not even enough of a lure to take his attention away from the bottle and its ruby red contents.

Yue Yan jerked her leg out of the way as he slid to the ground, the enspelled water finally taking full hold of Lei Zhao. She knew he was going to be asleep, until she told him to wake up but that would come later, much later.

Yue Yan could have just taken the place Yan Mei , wearing a glamour constructed in the manner of her features after she did away with her but she had no interest in that, the idea rankled.

What she chose to do was purge every memory of her from his mind, a three-month coma for him, her funeral, and the rest of their lives ruling him and his world.

Yue Yan looked beside her to see the man sprawled without care on the cold floor, snoring away as if he has nestled in the warmest softest bed.

She got off the chair and walked to the living room just off the front door, and settled down in the armchair I'm her true form, waiting for Yan Mei .

Waves of glee that were almost tangible pulsed from her body, the smile on Yue Yan's face became vaguely threatening before shifting into downright malevolent with every passings second.

The moment she heard the key rattling in the door, she got up to her feet, glamour snapping back into place before she headed for the door to welcome Yan Mei into what would end up being the rest of her life.

Where is everyone?” Yan Mei called as she toed off her shoes before picking them up and headed for her bedroom, when she turned the corner and saw Yue Yan who had stood there watching from her vantage position she screamed for a short second.

Yue Yan relished the scream and promised herself more.
