Chapter 19: Demonic Poison: Soul Departure
Ye Jiuge had never seen a poison like this. She thought of dabbing her finger in the drop of blood and tasting it, when Zi Shang’s voice drawled alongside her ear, “I advise you not to come into contact with it.”
As soon as he spoke, his cold snake tail coiled her in his embrace, and a familiar, faint fragrance pervading her nose.
“Why?” Ye Jiuge furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Zi Shang’s exceptionally handsome face.
“No reason.” Zi Shang’s wet vermillion lips were raised into a beautiful curve. He lowered his head and licked Ye Jiuge’s scarred face.
“Speak in a way so I can understand you, and don’t use your mouth on me.” The cold, sticky feeling from his touch had given Ye Jiuge goosebumps all over her body.
She pressed both of her palms against Zi Shang’s solid chest. She wanted to break free from his grasp, but he hugged her even tighter. It was futile to resist him; she could only allow him to hold her.
“I don’t want to tell you!” Zi Shang held Ye Jiuge’s pliant body and rested his jaw on her head, feeling extremely comfortable.

Zi Shang’s entire body stilled as he felt a tremor coursing through it. His abdomen convulsed, and his tail straightened immediately.
