Chapter 5 — Blood for Blood (2/2)

Hard.

The man laughed and let her bite him. What she didn’t expect was for her consciousness to sudden dwindle when his blood came in contact with her tongue.

That was when she realized… that his blood was actually an overpowering drug.

…..

Late at night.

Yun Wu woke up for the second time that day. This time, she found herself lying on a smooth expanse of rock. The uncomfortable itch had vanished, replaced by a cool sensation.

She exploited the dim moonlight to look down at her body, which she found to be —once again— completely bare. There was a slight shift in her expression, and then a glimmer of surprise. Her marred skin was now white beyond compare and tender like a freshly simmered and shelled egg, not a single scar left behind.

That blood-medicine pool was the first thing she thought of.

She quickly suppressed the astonishment in her heart and put on her old, tattered clothes before finally beginning to scrutinize her surroundings.

It was a fairly clean cavern. The small pond was still there, situated in a corner, except the blood-water had dried up. She scoured the cavern and did not catch a single glimpse of that bastard… until her gaze swept out of the cavern and landed on the lake outside. There was the silhouette of a man in the water.

Murderous intent rose in Yun Wu’s eyes.

In this world and her last, there had never been a person who dared to threaten and take advantage of her without paying the price. Under the boundless moonlight, Yun Wu’s lithe body mirrored a soundless leopard as she stealthily headed for the lake.

The lake glistened with faint ripples, and the sound of water splashing resonated through the night. The man was leaning against a rock, his body submerged in the water while a headful of silver hair hung loosely down his delicate back.

Although clearly, only his back was showing, the sight was already overwhelmingly enticing. Little by little, Yun Wu approached, and as she did, she couldn’t help but wrinkle her brows. She had to admit, this man was the epitome of temptation.

She quieted her breathing and drew near. She aimed, and the sharp wooden stick in her hand streaked towards the man.

“You’re here.” A light, wicked laugh.The silhouette of the man moved and deftly evaded her attack. As surprise flashed in Yun Wu’s eyes, the man grabbed the stick without looking, and his other hand brushed against her waist.

Swift and threatening. A strong pull sent Yun Wu’s body swooping through the air.
