Chapter 58: Romance and Drama Are Everywhere, What Isn't Cliche (5)

At this moment, Feng Shang seemed to have completely forgotten that his initial intention was to hack Chang Gejiu into a thousand pieces.

With a slight flick of silver needles in her palm, Chang Gejiu heard Feng Shang say, "Put away those little toys of yours, or this Prince will drive every last one of them deep into your limbs."

Chang Gejiu's hands trembled slightly. *Damn it, you win!*

Feng Shang slowly approached her, forcing Chang Gejiu to step back, step by step, until her back hit the wall with nowhere left to flee.

Looking at the fake face Chang Gejiu wore, Feng Shang found it more and more atrocious to the eye.

And that atrocious, ill-fitting men's attire made his brows knit together tightly. "Take off those clothes."

Chang Gejiu snapped her gaze toward him, only to see the man frowning as if he were looking at something that defiled his sight, his eyes carrying a trace of undisguised disgust.

Chang Gejiu instantly flared up.

He told her to take off her clothes, yet Your Gracious Lordship wore such a nauseating expression—who on earth was he putting on this pretentious act for?

Realizing what he had just said after catching Chang Gejiu's glare, Feng Shang turned cold and stern, yet for the very first time, he felt a burning flush of embarrassment.

The next second, Feng Shang instinctively averted his gaze. "Your garments belong to the Nine Gardens, which means they belong to this Prince! Stealing is a crime punishable by decapitation!"

Chang Gejiu: "..." *Stealing a set of clothes carries the death penalty? Is my head really only worth this ragged outfit?!*

Realizing that he had just uttered an idiot's remark and followed it up with an even more idiotic explanation, Feng Shang was seized by an urge to kill. His gaze immediately fell upon the unconscious figure of Shangguan Cheng not far away.

Without a second thought, he delivered a ruthless kick. Shangguan Cheng, who had just been unconscious, was jolted thoroughly awake by the agonizing pain.

A mouthful of blood spewed from his lips, and he looked as though his breath could fail him at any second.

Had it not been for the consideration that Chang Gejiu wanted Shangguan Cheng to suffer in the freezing pool, Feng Shang's kick alone would have been enough to send him straight to hell.

Shangguan Cheng struggled to climb back to his feet, a sinister malice burning in his eyes as he swept them over Chang Gejiu and Feng Shang in turn.

Chang Gejiu curled her lip, only to notice a destructive madness suddenly flash in Shangguan Cheng's eyes. "If I, Shangguan Cheng, am going to die in this stone chamber, the two of you will be buried with me! Hahahaha..."

A harsh, grating laugh rattled in Shangguan Cheng's throat as a piece of spice he had produced from who-knows-where flared into flame.

Feng Shang furrowed his brows slightly, while Chang Gejiu wished nothing more than to plant another kick right into Shangguan Cheng's face.

With their acute sensitivity to poisons, both she and Feng Shang could instantly tell that what Shangguan Cheng had ignited was not poison at all, but rather an incense of bewitchment!

To be precise, it was an aphrodisiac.

Its potency was overwhelmingly fierce, leaving no rest until death!

Yet such an overbearing aphrodisiac bore a deceptively romantic name: Life and Death Pledge!

Once contaminated, a man and a woman must couple relentlessly until both die of exhaustion.

Shangguan Cheng, who was closest to the burning incense, already showed signs of unstable breathing. However, since he could barely even push himself up from the ground, he posed no threat to Chang Gejiu whatsoever.

Chang Gejiu's gaze drifted slightly toward Feng Shang's face.

Feng Shang's expression remained calm, yet the tightly clenched fists at his sides betrayed the abnormality surging within him at this very moment.

Throwing back his head, Shangguan Cheng laughed with manic frenzy. "Hahahaha, haha! No matter how formidable your martial arts are, no matter how powerful you may be, you will still perish beneath the effects of this drug! Haha, to think that a dignified Prince would die in such a humiliating manner."

Suddenly, Shangguan Cheng's eyes tightened. He noticed that Chang Gejiu's gaze remained clear and bright, and he cried out in shock, "You—why are you completely unaffected?!"

Chang Gejiu let out a soft huff. Her soul was naturally immune to all poisons and evil entities, so naturally, she had nothing to fear from such tricks.
