Chapter 437: This young master kills without mercy (2/2)

Unfortunately, Gu Qishao failed to catch another lobster in the next day and night. People weren’t joking when they said that the Illusory Sea Lake’s lobsters were a notoriously hard catch. During that time, Jun Yixie’s insides began to cramp up, making it impossible for him to even drink water without spitting it up. He was in a poor state to begin with, but this only left him even more half-dead. He truly had no idea that he’d end up like this one day. For the first time, he began to regret his actions. If he had known sooner, then he wouldn’t have…aye!

Gu Qishao was nothing but leisurely and carefree. He secured the pole to its spot and built up another hotpot right by the lake. Once again, there were two pots in total, one for rice, one for…droo-lworthy red-braised pork!

Enough was enough!

After he finished cooking the meat, he got a bowl of rice and ladled a serving over the grains before presenting it to Jun Yixie. “Here, eat it without worries. It’s not poisoned!”

Finally, Jun Yixie couldn’t stand it anymore. He shouted back, “F*** you, just what do you want?! If you want to kill me, then do it already!”

Gu Qishao didn’t lose his temper, but said sincerely, “It’s really delicious, you know. You sure you don’t want some?”

Jun Yixie only felt like he had punched a bunch of cotton. Despite raging to death, the other party remained completely unaffected. He was so stifled that he nearly lost consciousness from his fury. Although he had no idea who the other fellow was, he was certain that the man had to be an expert among experts! And a bastard among bastards!

“If you won’t eat, then forget it!” Gu Qishao shrugged and sat back down to enjoy his own meal. After that, he resumed fishing for lobsters. Jun Yixie stared at him wordlessly, unable to speak.

Finally, the third day left Gu Qishao with his three lobsters and Jun Yixie half-conscious and physically paralyzed by the lake. Gu Qishao packed up his lobsters neatly and fed the rest of his bait to the fish before approaching Jun Yixie. By now, Jun Yixie was teetering on the edge of collapse.

Completely despairing, he only asked a single question. “You… Just who are you? What kind of grudge…does this lord have with you?” He wasn’t even sure whether he would survive at this point, but he still wanted to know who was trying to kill him. Otherwise, he’d never die content.

Gu Qishao drew closer on purpose and lifted the edge of his face veil. “Long time no see, Your Highness Duke of Kang!”

At the sight of that bewitchingly beautiful face, Jun Yixie was shocked. It took him awhile to recover and rage in fury anew, “Gu Qishao, it’s you!”

“Exactly,” Gu Qishao grinned.

“You!” Jun Yixie roared.

“What, you’re gonna bite me now?” Gu Qishao’s smile grew more dazzling, his eyes glittering like the stars in the sky.

“Your lord has no quarrel nor grudge with you. What’s the meaning of this?” Jun Yixie still didn’t understand.

Gu Qishao’s smile ceased, to be replaced by a sinister and ruthless expression. His face changed so abruptly that it was impossible to match the charmingly smiling man with this cruel and ruthless opposite. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Because of…Han Yunxi! This master will kill anyone who hurts her without mercy!”

At his words, Jun Yixie simply laughed out loud. “Hilarious! Pathetic! Gu Qishao, you’ve taken a fancy to a married woman?”

“Obviously, didn’t I just admit it?” Gu Qishao shot back. Jun Yixie had no chance of putting him down.

Jun Yixie’s lips quirked up in response. “If you have any skills, snatch her from Long Feiye instead. Why play the hero here with your lord?”

“This young master just prefers to play hero here with you, so what? Oh, that’s right, I forgot to tell you one thing. In one more day, your intestines will start to fester and ulcerate. It won’t take half a day before the symptoms spread to your internal organs.” As Gu Qishao spoke, he sighed helplessly with emotion. “Aye…the dignified and upright Duke of Kang, leader of the Hundred Poisons Sect, died thus on Fishery Island. What a pity!”

Jun Yixie had been harboring wishful thinking towards the toxicity of his poison, but as it turned out, it was fatal after all.

“Gu Qishao! You dare!” He tried to stand up, but quickly collapsed again. There was no more strength left in his body. Even if he risked everything to fight, break Fishery Island’s taboos, and die together with Gu Qishao, there was no more strength to back up his plans.

Gu Qishao simply glanced down before tossing him the words, “Go wait for your death!” Then he shouldered the three lobsters on his back and strode off without another look.

Actually, he wanted to toy with Jun Yixie a few more days, but since he’d gotten his lobsters faster than expected, he wanted to deliver them to Poison lass while they were still fresh! Nothing was more important than that. Really, it’d been ages since he paid a visit to his Poison lass in the capital.

Just like that, Gu Qishao left Fishery Island while Jun Yixie hovered on the edge of life and death. And yet that night of all nights was when a fog suddenly rose from the shores of the island! With Fishery Island’s location, such sea fog appeared occasionally, but it hardly lasted for long.

The Baili Navy, however, was well-equipped to deal with this sea fog after their three-month long vigil around the isle. Lights went up as soon as the fog appeared, while the number of guards watching the shorelines increased. Their only duty was to keep an eye out and prevent Jun Yixie from escaping, so a little inclement weather like this was nothing.

However, nobody expected this fog…to have poison!
