Chapter 215 The Femme Fatale (2/2)
She could already control the poison in her body when she met him, so she could touch his hand, kiss his lips or let him bed her. That man said that he loved her, and even wanted to marry her.
While she was immersed in happiness, one day, this man offended some rascals. They beat him black and blue, and was about to break his legs, in front of the woman. Finally she could no longer resist. She released her poison. The poison caused numbness, and one of them was even killed by it.
Femme Fatale went to prison, because of this man, but she did not regret it. But before her trial began, she heard that the man she loved, was about to marry another woman, a rich woman, more specifically.
She had not expected that he would be unfaithful, in such a short time. She was so infuriated that she killed the warden with her poison, and escaped from the prison.
Overnight that man and the family of his wealthy new girlfriend, were all poisoned to death.
Henceforth, the name Femme Fatale, was now notorious.
She hated all men in this world.
Suddenly the door was pushed open, and the staunch Dumbass rushed in with Zhan Hongyan, trailing behind. Femme Fatale’s guards were all lying on the ground.
No one in the room had expected this, but Femme Fatale seemed placid. She cast a sweeping glance at the two, who had the feeling of being gazed at by a poisonous serpent, and shivered.
“You were sent to kill me?” Femme Fatale giggled, “Thousands of people want to see me dead since I was a little girl, but they all ended up dead. The villagers who once exiled me, all died in one night, including the ones who had abused me and the ones who even did me harm.”
She pointed at her shoes and commanded icily, “Kneel and kiss my shoes, then I shall spare your lives.”
“Damn you!” Dumbass suddenly sprinted towards this poisonous woman, so quickly that Zhan Hongyan could not even stop him. However, Dumbass suddenly fell on the ground, as Femme Fatale merely flicked her fingers at him. His face grew purple, but he managed to get up, and strode towards his foe.
There was a hint of laughter in this woman’s eyes, as if she was staring at a dying insect. Dumbass was quite strong and he was almost immune to any exterior injuries. However, he was still venerable on the inside, and susceptible to poison.
Everyone had weaknesses and this woman’s poison was Dumbass’s biggest weakness.
Gradually Dumbass could not see clearly. He slumped on the ground, while grumbling, “Damn woman, I didn’t see it coming…”
Femme Fatale smiled slightly, “A true master of poison can taint others without their notice. You two have been poisoned since you walked in. The girl over there, why don’t you rub your belly and feel it gingerly?”
Zhan Hongyan’s face changed, as comprehension set in. She put her hands on her abdomen, and grunted in agony.
Then she cast an astonished look at this top master, who could kill one, even before she knew it was coming.
Femme Fatale spoke with an air of aloofness, “It’s lucky that you did not move. You still have ten minutes. But this big dumb boy is about to die. So tell me, who sent you to kill me.”
Zhan Hongyan’s face looked awful. She took a look at Dumbass, and said hastily to this poisonous woman, “Liu Sheng! Does this name sound familiar to you? Give us the antidote if you want to know more about him. I can take you to someone.”
“Liu Sheng?” The coldness in this woman’s eyes grew stronger. She suddenly appeared in front of Zhan Hongyan and sized her by the throat, her eyes as sharp as a viper’s, “How do you know this man?”
Zhan Hongyan’s decline was rapid, yet she still could last few seconds, under the onset of Femme Fatale’s posion. Her breath grew weaker and weaker, her forehead was bulging with lumpy veins, yet her eyes still seemed placid and fearless. Her mentality was as strong as that of all the top assassins.
Though Zhan Hongyan seemed about to die at any time, she was still determined, “Give us the antidote and leave with us, otherwise you will never know his secrets.”
“What secrets could he possibly have?” Femme Fatale tossed Zhang Hongyan onto the floor. The expression on her face changed eerily. She suddenly took out a delicate jade bottle and poured out two pills, which was then sent hurtling towards Zhan Hongyan and Dumbass’s mouths. The pills melted instantly when they were in their mouths.
Soon the two felt if there was a warm stream flowing through their bodies, as the poison was being expelled. Dumbass regained his footing and came near Zhan Hongyan. “This is truly a toxic woman,” he said, while staring at Femme Fatale, vigilantly.
“You don’t need to remind me of that!” Zhan Hongyan glared at Dumbass, and then fixed her eyes on Femme Fatale, “Femme Fatale, I don’t know exactly what these secrets are. But I’ll take you to someone. Come with us, if you desire to know more.”
“Alright… Let’s go now…”
Femme Fatale was quite a resolute woman. She strode out of the room first, with Zhang Hongyan and Dumbass trailing behind. The two young boys’ faces suddenly turned purple, as they tried to stand up. Their breaths caught in their throats. They fell on the ground, clutching their necks with their hands and writhing about. Gradually, all signs of life were gone from them.
