290 Beauty’s Facade 2 (1/2)

Jun Wu Xie looked down at the grovelling figure at her feet, her half lowered eyes frosty with biting cold. She mercilessly retorted:

”That face was never yours.”

”NO! That is mine! Mine! Please return it back to me! Whatever you want, I will give it to you! I will listen to whatever you say! Please!” Ke Cang Ju pleaded pitifully, his tears mixed into the blood, as the skin on his face split and bled further, and some flesh hung precariously from bits of skin still remaining.

Jun Wu Xie turned just before Ke Cang Ju could almost touch the end of clothes and walked away, heading towards the already teetering Qiao Chu.

”Swallow this.” As Jun Wu Xie held out an elixir within her palm.

Qiao Chu popped it into his mouth without hesitation and swallowed it immediately. The next moment, the burning pains suffered from the Lone Smoke started to fade, and except for his face being still a little pale, he did not feel any other discomfort.

”You sure enjoy hanging around, don't you?” Jun Wu Xie raised an eyebrow, as she glanced at the tall slender Hua Yao still hanging upon the wall.

Hua Yao closed his eyes a moment, and breathed out slowly, while he freed himself from his shackles.

The moment he stood upon the ground, Jun Wu Xie threw an elixir to him.

Hua Yao swallowed it without a word, and immediately felt the pain all over his body start to fade. He then proceeded to pull out the metal stakes lodged in his body while he said to Jun Wu Xie: ”Thanks!”

After having shaken off the effects of the poison completely, the two youths went to look at Ke Cang Ju.

Ke Cang Ju was lying in a heap on the floor, his body in spasm from the unbearable pain. His eyes were bloodshot red, and looked extremely miserable. When he saw Hua Yao and Qiao Chu completely recovered from the poison's effects after taking Jun Wu Xie's elixirs, his eyes widened in disbelief and he opened his mouth wanting to say something, but at that moment, a wave of agony swept through his body, and the pain made him clench his jaw suddenly, which made him bite through his own tongue!

Blood spurted out from his mouth as his mouth filled and his shock made him gasp, which brought the blood into his lungs!

He clawed at his throat and chest, struggling to breathe and his spasms intensified.
