Wouldn't He Try the Poison on Himself?

"It's nothing. You're my maid; this is what I should do." Chen Changxin looked at the bashful Xiao Yi Xian and gave a wicked grin.

Although there was poison in Xiao Yi Xian's body.

Don't get him wrong—he wasn't trying to take advantage of Xiao Yi Xian. He simply wanted to do a good deed!

Then!

Chen Changxin grabbed Xiao Yi Xian's wrist and gently placed two fingers on it.

Xiao Yi Xian's hand was cold.

Incomparably smooth and tender!

It gave Chen Changxin the sensation of being electrocuted.

Even his breathing quickened considerably.

"You've been poisoned!"

Chen Changxin frowned slightly. "I still can't determine how far the poison has spread. Let me give you a thorough examination, shall I?"

"Ah?" Xiao Yi Xian stared at him blankly, her expression dull.

A thorough examination?

What kind of thorough examination?

Could it be...

As those images surfaced in her mind, Xiao Yi Xian felt her cheeks burning, filled with regret.

Damn Chen Changxin!

How could he keep pushing his luck?

If she had known, she never should have given him the chance just now~

What should she do?

It seemed that this big bad wolf had set his sights on her!

"Don't be afraid. Only after examining you properly can I prescribe the right medicine and cure you."

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's blank expression, Chen Changxin assumed she was worried about the poison in her body and tried to comfort her.

"Oh..." Xiao Yi Xian nodded shamefully.

She looked as though she would let Chen Changxin do whatever he wanted~

Maybe he really was trying to determine the extent of the poison in her body!

Xiao Yi Xian consoled herself inwardly.

There was no helping it!

Things had gradually spiraled out of control. She couldn't undo any of it, and could only pray that Chen Changxin would not go too far.

After all, Haibodong, who was being tortured, was right beside them!

Gulp—

Looking at the exquisite curves beneath her flowing green gauze dress, Chen Changxin unconsciously swallowed.

Then!

Through her clothes, his fingers traced along the meridians of Xiao Yi Xian's arm, moving upward.

Her jade-like arm, her earlobe, her lower abdomen.

"Mmnh~"

Xiao Yi Xian's entire body felt as though she had been electrocuted, overcome by an unbearable numbness.

Under Chen Changxin's touch, a soft moan escaped her lips.

Blushing, Xiao Yi Xian shrank further into Chen Changxin's embrace and pointed at Haibodong, who lay nearby on the ground in unbearable agony.

"Y-Your Highness, perhaps we should stop. There's still an outsider here!"

"An outsider?"

Chen Changxin glanced at Haibodong in the distance, who lay on the ground howling endlessly as his mind crumbled, and frowned.

"Your poison can't be delayed. Besides, do you think he has the mind to pay attention to us right now?"

Xiao Yi Xian: o((⊙﹏⊙))o

Honestly, she was beginning to regret sprinkling Heart-Eating Powder on Haibodong~

Hadn't she just dug her own grave?

Nearby!

Haibodong lay on the ground, howling in agony, his eyes bloodshot.

The sensation of countless insects gnawing at his body had nearly driven him mad.

But!

What broke him the most was that Chen Changxin actually didn't treat him like a human being?

What did he mean by saying Haibodong had the mind to pay attention to anything else?

Haibodong admitted that ordinary people could not endure this kind of pain, but he was no ordinary man.

He was one of the Jia Ma Empire's ten greatest experts!

The Ice Emperor!

Though he was getting on in years, what man didn't have a curious heart?

Old in body, young at heart!

There were some things he did not want to miss, even if his body had to suffer a little.

Haibodong watched the two of them acting all lovey-dovey right in front of him, practically pressed together.

"Ah!!"

"Damn it, Chen Changxin! This old man will never rest until one of us is dead!"

"It hurts so much! I don't want it anymore!"

Haibodong cried out heart-wrenchingly.

Elsewhere!

Chen Changxin felt along the veins on Xiao Yi Xian's jade-like back, and his fingers suddenly paused.

"Y-Your Highness, is it done?"

Sensing Chen Changxin's fingers stop, Xiao Yi Xian kept her head lowered and asked in a trembling voice.

"Almost, almost."

Chen Changxin answered blankly, though his eyes could not help drifting toward Haibodong.

Chen Changxin could not help sucking in a breath.

Damn!

A real man had to be someone like you, Haibodong!

You were really ruthless!

I, Chen Changxin, respect you as a true man!

"I'll take you to the room for an examination."

Without waiting for Xiao Yi Xian to agree, Chen Changxin swept her into his arms and headed toward the room behind the counter.

"Mmnh~ Y-Your Highness, do we need to go into a room?" Xiao Yi Xian lay weakly in Chen Changxin's arms, her pretty face flushed crimson as she looked on the verge of tears.

She had overestimated Chen Changxin's bottom line. This guy simply had no bottom line at all.

Was he going to test the poison on himself?!

"Ahem!"

"Xiao Yi Xian, you are this prince's maid. This prince must take responsibility for you," Chen Changxin said sincerely.

Then he pushed open the door and walked inside.

"This is a Calming Heart Pill. Once you take it, it can temporarily suppress the poison in your body!"

Chen Changxin took out a bottle of pills from his Storage Ring and handed it to Xiao Yi Xian with a serious expression.

"Ah... o-okay. Thank you, Your Highness!" Xiao Yi Xian stared blankly at Chen Changxin, accepting the jade bottle as shame and indignation overwhelmed her.

So she had wronged him.

Whenever she thought of the seductive manner she had revealed while Chen Changxin examined her just now, Xiao Yi Xian felt unbearably ashamed.

"Rest here for a while. Leave the poison in your body to this prince!"

"I'll find a solution for you!"

Chen Changxin said without letting his gaze wander, then immediately walked out of the room.

The door closed!

Whew—

Chen Changxin stood outside the door, unable to calm down for a long while.

Damn it, what a sin!

He could look, he could touch, but he couldn't do anything~

Wasn't this just making himself suffer for nothing?

After suppressing the heat in his heart, Chen Changxin glanced at Haibodong, who was lying in the shop.

At this moment, although Haibodong had gone still, Chen Changxin could still sense the other man's vital signs. He had clearly fainted.

Then!

Chen Changxin noticed the bloodstained crotch of Haibodong's pants.

A trace of pity actually surfaced in his gaze as he looked at Haibodong.

Chen Changxin withdrew his gaze, sat down in the chair behind the counter, and began writing in his diary.

October 4th. The dragon was on fire!

Holy shit, shit, shit!

Your Majesty, Princess Die, Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Willow God, Huo Ling'er—I nearly did something to betray you just now. Luckily, this prince's will was firm, and I pulled back from the brink!

Sigh, every day has been such suffering!

Who would've thought that Xiao Yi Xian, that poisonous seductress, would try to tempt this prince? If not for the deadly poison within her body, this prince would definitely have made her pay today!

Damn it! I was obviously so harsh on her, yet she actually confessed her feelings to me?!

Is this this prince's charm? Honestly, I'm a little worried now.

I'm worried that I'm too handsome. What if you all start fighting over me and turn against each other someday?

The palm and the back of the hand are both flesh—this prince can't take sides in that fight!
