Poison: Have I Changed?

Cheng Shi twitched his eye corners slightly and replied unpleasantly:

"Either get up yourself, or continue lying down and pretending to be dead. As long as you are not afraid of the cold and not afraid of death, I think I definitely have time to waste with you here. After all, it's you who is being chased, not me.

And I said: speak first, then heal.

Poison, if you want to get treatment from me, tell your secret first, otherwise there's no play."

Listening to this negotiation tone without a bit of warmth, Poison sighed with lack of interest. Then, her complexion actually gradually broke away from paleness and began to become rosy.

This assassin who was dying just a second ago actually looked like she had recovered by herself. She gritted her teeth, pulled out the arrow on her shoulder bone, and struggled to stand up from the snow stained red with blood.

However, she still looked a bit weak, so much so that she lost her center of gravity and staggered toward Cheng Shi's direction as soon as she stood up. Cheng Shi sneered at this, turned and moved sideways to dodge, all in one go.

But this time he clearly underestimated the other party's determination to approach him. Just see Poison pounce forward suddenly, disappear along with the shadow in front of Cheng Shi, and when she appeared again, she had already joined the battlefield between Da Yi and Gongyang Jiao.

Cheng Shi's gaze tightened. Only hearing a roar from the front, the three figures in the battle situation scattered with a bang, retreating in different directions.

Da Yi retreated to the original position, looking solemn, sweat soaking his back, and the iron thorns in his hands had changed from one to holding three in each hand.

Gongyang Jiao was covered in blood. His left cheek seemed to have been pierced, and blood dripped along his chin and neck, making his image even more manic.

That scarlet tongue of his licked out from the rotten hole on the side of his cheek, rolling the rotten flesh and blood around into his mouth to suck and chew, and then stared dead at Poison, his face ferocious:

"Stinky bitch, I will peel your skin to mend my face.

By then I will let you remember what true fear is!"

Seeing the main battlefield separated, the chameleon didn't rush to make a move again, but quietly hid in the wind and snow, once again out of everyone's sight.

Jiang Chi frowned slightly, wanting to approach Da Yi, but seeing that this Gaping Iron Thorn didn't seem to trust him, he moved two steps toward Cheng Shi's position, half-blocking in front of Cheng Shi.

This move of his wasn't to protect Cheng Shi, but to reach a transaction with Poison.

Because at this very moment, Poison, who had escaped from the battle situation, returned to Cheng Shi's side and lay on Cheng Shi's back in a way of losing strength.

"Don't move, let me lie for a while, I really have no strength."

Cheng Shi's eyes sank. He really wanted to backhand a thunder punishment to send away this assassin who was full of trouble, but he didn't dare.

Because Poison's dagger had already been placed on his chest.

He didn't doubt at all that this God-Chosen assassin would kill him first at the first sign of threat, but he doubted even less that as long as he didn't make a move, no matter what, the other party wouldn't make a move to kill him first.

Because this is Poison. She never likes to kill people with sharp weapons.

What she likes is to let people's desires kill themselves, and she, will only be the... catalyst that makes people create murder weapons with their own hands.

"Have I changed?"

Poison lay on Cheng Shi's back, hooking his neck and exhaling like orchids.

"?" Cheng Shi frowned slightly, not following the other party's train of thought.

Poison saw him stunned and suddenly smiled. Although weak and powerless, she still laughed until she was trembling.

"I mean, it's been so long, you've become hard, then... have I... become soft?"

As she spoke, Poison hugged Cheng Shi slightly with lost strength.

"......"

Cheng Shi's body instantly tightened, as if frozen in place by this raging wind and snow, not daring to move at all.

"Why don't you answer me, is my temper softer than before?"

"......"

Cheng Shi twitched his eye corners, thinking, "I don't know if your temper has changed, I only know that the snow in the sky seems to have turned yellow."

Although Gongyang Jiao couldn't hear what Poison and Cheng Shi were saying, seeing the two of them looking so familiar, his expression became even more ferocious.

"I underestimated your charm."

He gouged Poison with red eyes, and then narrowed his eyes to size up Cheng Shi again.

He was thinking, what kind of pastor could be a pastor with backbone if he didn't resist Poison?

Maybe he was already a plaything in Poison's hands.

Unlucky. I thought it was a smooth hunting round, but now it seems it's going to be blocked again.

"Little brother, I advise you to keep your eyes open and don't touch just any woman.

Some women are fine wine, mellow and sweet; but some women... are poison, withering hearts and rotting lungs. If you drink it, you will die!"

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Cheng Shi to defend himself, this Screaming Earl rose from the spot and rushed toward the direction where the two were. His momentum was too fierce, so much so that Poison, who was on Cheng Shi's back, tightened her brows and said in a low voice:

"Go first!"

As she spoke, she threw a strangely shaped dagger at Cheng Shi's feet, and with a "bang," a large piece of white mist instantly exploded.

Everyone in the field was afraid that this mist contained the power of 【Filthy Fall】, so they frowned and retreated. Only Gongyang Jiao was not afraid at all and rushed in head-on, but where was there any shadow of people inside?

"Mr. Jiao is so powerful, it's a pity that I'm tired today, so I won't play with you first, let's make an appointment next time."

Listening to the mocking words left in the mist, Gongyang Jiao roared three times and actually hammered the ground like a madman.

"Boom boom boom—"

"Stinky bitch, stinky bitch, I want to kill you, I will definitely tear you to pieces with my own hands!!"

The huge force made the entire square shake slightly. Feeling his anger, Da Yi and Jiang Chi looked at each other solemnly and quickly retreated.

Soon, only the howling of the wind and snow and the Earl's hammering remained in the field. As for where that chameleon who never showed his face went, probably no one knew.

Vision returns to Cheng Shi.

The moment Poison's mist exploded, Cheng Shi only felt his eyes turn white and his body sway. Before he could react, he was dragged away from the spot. When he frowned and opened his eyes again, he found that he had already left the square and arrived at a dim attic.

The reason he could determine this was an attic wasn't because he could see the scene outside through the window and perceive the height—after all, the snow was flying outside and everything was white, making it impossible to identify—but because the roof of this room was slanted.

The space here couldn't be called crowded, but it definitely couldn't be called spacious. The stairs opened not far in front of Cheng Shi. The handrail was old but wiped shiny. On the wall beside him, there was a fire stove with faint sparks. That thin heat could only be said to be better than nothing when facing the cold brought by two players from the square.

This was clearly a bedroom. The bed was a floor mat covered with bedding. The only furniture could be considered a small tea table like a low stool. On the tea table, there was a cup of water, and steam was still lingering at the mouth of the cup.

Cheng Shi sized it up quickly and found that he should have come to someone's home. However, the timing of their arrival was very good, at least they didn't meet the people living in this attic.

And Poison, who was on his back just now, fell in front of him covered in blood, with her back to him, motionless, without even the sound of breathing.
