Chapter 1153: Biased towards ones kin (2/2)

Han Chen laughed coldly. “That woman must have still liked you. Heheh, you screwed yourself over. The Perplexing Butterfly Illusion is now in this Honorable One’s hands, so if you don’t want to suffer, behave yourself!”

Ignoring Bai Yanqing’s yells, he turned and walked away.

“What are you saying? What do you mean? What did Mu Xin tell you?”

“Han Chen, get back here! Come back to me! What did Mu Xin tell you in the past?”

“Han Chen, Mu Xin was poisoned with the Yin Yang pill! Neither of you were willing when you did it, right? Aren’t I right?” Bai Yanqing hollered.

A few words from Han Chen had sent his thoughts in total disarray. He had no idea what this man and Mu Xin had been up to in the past. Were they together as an old flame, or forced into it by the aphrodisiac?

Meanwhile, Han Chen froze mid-step!

When he first entered Cloud Realm Continent, he was clueless about aphrodisiac poisons, but over the years his interest had grown in the continent’s poison and medical fields. In his spare time, he did private research in his secret chambers. Of course he knew what the Yin Yang Pill was! It was a drug that affected both parties. As long as the medicine reacted in one person, anyone within proximity would succumb to their desires as well.

Han Chen narrowed his eyes. So that was what happened! All these years, he’d never had interest in Mu Xin despite sleeping with her. But that was the only time in his life he’d given in. Right now, he was as clueless as ever when it came to matters of the opposite sex.

When he recalled that incident, he always blamed it on his own youthful ignorance caught up in a fit of passion. Now he knew the drug was to blame.

Han Chen doubled back and personally gagged Bai Yanqing’s mouth. He didn’t answer any of the man’s question, but rewarded him with a kick right to the man’s sensitive nether regions. There was so much power behind the act that...it was enough to make Bai Yanqing lose all his future grandsons!

Bai Yanqing was immediately paralyzed with pain on the ground, his body breaking out into a cold sweat. Han Chen left emotionlessly, but he was internally relieved that a poison was to blame for his youthful lack of control. In the darkness, his face maintained its handsomely chilly visage, sculpting him as a true, aloof Dark Priest…

By now, Han Yunxi’s group had already left the maze. Xu Donglin, Chu Qingge, Chu Tianyin and Baili Mingxiang all ran to meet them, surprised and delighted at the sight of Ning Jing.

“Miss Jing...Miss Jing, you’re not dead!” Baiili Mingxiang exclaimed in shock.

“Where’s Tang Li?” Han Yunxi’s tone was much more anxious than hers.

By comparison, Ning Jing was rather quiet. She was itching to meet Tang Li the entire trip here, but now she suddenly felt nervous and unsure. She couldn’t begin to describe her emotions beyond matching it to her feelings in the bridal sedan chair on her wedding day. Back then, she’d simply pushed those feelings to the back of her mind.

“Princess, Tang Li and Su Xiaoyu are both at the medical academy. Tang Li is…” Xu Donglin was about to go on when Han Yunxi interrupted.

“Then let’s hurry back to Medical City! All of you can disband.”

“Princess, what about Bai Yanqing?” Chu Xifeng couldn’t help asking.

When Han Yunxi remembered how Long Feiye promised not to reveal anything about Han Chen or the Wolf Sect, she replied, “He died inside. The Perplexing Butterfly Illusion burned away his very bones! You can all go back. Leave a few men to guard the base of the mountain. In the future, no stragglers are allowed to get close!”

Everyone was so happy to hear that Bai Yanqing had died that they didn’t harbor many doubts about his death. Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue were more worried over Ning Jing’s reaction after she discovered Tang Li had gone insane.

Meanwhile, Long Feiye noticed something wrong about Gu Qishao. The man had been acting oddly ever since they left the maze.

After the shadow guards brought over multiple man-powered sedan chairs, Han Yunxi accompanied Ning Jing on the ride. Gu Beiyue remained with Chu Xifeng and Xu Donglin so he could discuss the deployment of guards as they walked. He also asked them about developments across the continent over the past few days, especially in regards to Northern Li.

Long Feiye had a rare chance of accompanying Gu Qishao. He coldly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Gu Qishao sprawled back in his sedan chair like a rich young master as he cocked his head at Long Feiye. “What do you mean, ‘what’s wrong?’”

Long Feiye examined him further before his voice froze over. “Just what’s the matter with you?”

1. Han Xiang (韩香) - Xiang means “fragrant.”

2. Han Cong (韩骢) - Cong means “piebald horse”--a horse with a bluish white color.
