Chapter 19 Be Poisoned

“What?”

Chui Xue was also shocked. But Gu Qiang’s warning was late. Soon Chui Xue smelt the fragrance, felt limp and fell to the ground.

“Chui Xue!”

Gu Qiang called her in a low voice. The fragrance inside the room became stronger and stronger. Though she held her breath in time, she breathed a little inevitably. She was still conscious but felt dizzy and limp. After walking two steps towards the door, she lost all her strength and collapsed on the ground.

Knockout smoke…

Gu Qiang hadn’t lost all her consciousness. She tried her best to nip her palm. After a while, the door of her room was opened with a creak by someone from the outside.

Who?

Who might it be?

As the footsteps became louder, Gu Qiang, who was dizzy, tried to raise her head rigidly and looked at the approaching comer by the moonlight filtering through the door. He was of common appearance, but he was leering at her with evil intentions. When meeting Gu Qiang’s eyes, he smiled at her sleazily, “Cousin, alas, my mother didn’t lie to me. You are really pretty.”

Who else would call her cousin?

“Song…Yun?”

Gu Qiang asked tentatively. Sure enough, the man was surprised at first and then gave a sleazier smile, “I didn’t think you would recognize me. Then I’ll enjoy myself.”

He stretched out hands to tear her clothes. She failed to dodge. With a tearing sound, her middle-skirt was torn. Her bellyband and half of her snow-white shoulder were exposed.

Song Yun gasped.

He stared rigidly. His eyes swept over her body without control. Meanwhile, he murmured, “Baby, don’t worry. I will definitely love you and protect you!”

“Humph…”

Gu Qiang sniggered expressionlessly. She didn’t seem to be conscious of her half-naked state. Instead, she raised her head and asked with great interest, “Do you mean you will marry me formally?”

Song Yun was about to stretch out his hands. Hearing what she asked, he paused. Before he came here, Jiang Min had told him fiercely that a woman getting married formally was the wife while the one eloping with a man could only be a concubine. If Gu Qiang lost her chastity, she would be not valuable and then had to be his concubine. Song Yun thought it reasonable before. But now, Gu Qiang was nearly collapsing on the ground with a dry expression and had unutterable charm. He was seized with a sudden impulse and responded immediately, “Yes. Yes. Believe me. As long as you become my woman tonight, I will come to propose tomorrow!”

“Really?”

Gu Qiang curled her lips and turned around to gaze at Song Yun deeply. By the bright moonlight, the coldness in her eyes could be seen clearly, “It’s a pity that you won’t have such a chance.”

“What?”

Song Yun was surprised. Before he came to understand what she meant, he saw a golden light suddenly. Gu Qiang moved away from the wall suddenly and pierced a gold hair clasp into his neck with force.

His sticky blood poured out immediately. Song Yun pushed Gu Qiang away at once subconsciously. She was caught off guard and knocked down heavily. But she didn’t feel painful at all. Instead, she managed to prop herself up and smiled at Song Yun, “You don’t need to struggle. I applied poison to the hair clasp.”

“You…you!”

Song Yun’s windpipe seemed to be cut open. He glared but collapsed on the ground after he only uttered two words. His face was twisted and pale. He kept staring at Gu Qiang but couldn’t say anything more.

The smell of blood permeated the room. Gu Qiang sighed with relief finally. She loosened her clenched right hand and a piece of broken black ointment dropped.

It was the globefish cream that Ting Feng just gave her.

Under the moonlight, Song Yun’s face turned weirdly livid from paleness. But Gu Qiang had no time to care. Though the globefish toxin could kill a person only when it was swallowed and touched blood, it’s highly toxic. She just touched it for a while, but her left hand became slightly swollen.

She frowned and tried to keep conscious. Ignoring her hand, she rose and groped on Song Yun’s body with difficulty. Soon, she found the antidote to the knockout smoke.

She took a pill and fed one to Ting Feng and Chui Xue respectively. When she became conscious completely and the two girls came to their senses in succession, her left hand began to itch extremely.

“Ah!”

Chui Xue came around and almost shouted with fear. She was greeted by Song Yun’s body. She was so scared that her legs went limp. In comparison, Ting Feng was calmer. But when she found that Gu Qiang’s forearm became swollen and the ointment was scattered on the ground, she was also frightened and said panickily, “My Lady, you’re poisoned!”
