Cuando el amor se acerca, es como la nieve

Capítulo 61

"You don't? --" Lan Ye chuckled and turned around, her voice unusually cold, sending chills down one's spine: "Zhan Shang -- Have you taken good care of Young Master Shang?"

Zhan Shang bowed and said expressionlessly, "I did take good 'care' of him, and I took very 'gentle' care of him."

Lan Yejiao chuckled, "You wouldn't take care of him to the point that he loses his martial arts skills, would you?"

Zhan Shang said, "No, his internal strength is pitifully low now, not worth me crippling, much less worth using my blade to kill someone who is not worth killing."

Lan Ye nodded and said, "That's right, that's right. If he loses his internal energy and martial arts, I will lose a lot of fun—Sister Bai, you must want to meet the assassin who risked his life for you, right?" Lan Ye clapped his hands lightly and laughed, "After you meet him, the show I love to watch will begin."

As Lan Ye gently clapped her hands, the pink wall behind me suddenly moved! The wall slowly slid backward, and after a series of creaking sounds, a familiar figure in a blue robe appeared faintly behind it—

Shang Shaozhang!

Shang Shaozhang is still alive!

Shang Shaozhang stood behind the pink wall and smiled gently at me.

I was overjoyed and said, "Shang-Shang Shaozhang, are you alright? They-didn't torture you, did they? You-" My words choked up for a moment, and I couldn't finish them.

Shang Shaochang laughed and said, "Silly girl, look at me, I'm perfectly fine, but something happened again... cough cough..." He coughed a few times, his face turned extremely pale, and his body swayed a few times before finally standing steadily.

"Young Master Shang—" Seeing his face suddenly turn pale, I rushed towards him in a panic—

If someone suddenly appears in your life who loves you, pampers you, and cares for you, wouldn't you unconsciously begin to gradually become attached to them?

For over twenty years, I silently endured all the pain, loneliness, and bitterness alone, until Shang Shaochang appeared, the man who loved me, doted on me, and even protected me with his life.

The instant I ran toward him, I suddenly realized that I couldn't live without this man.

Not even for a minute!

A doting smile appeared on Shang Shaochang's face as he opened his arms to welcome me into his embrace.

The instant my arms touched his, a thin red mist suddenly appeared between us!

The red mist rose silently and suddenly from between our clothes.

Shang Shaochang's expression changed, and he suddenly pushed me away with great force! The push was so strong that I was caught off guard and was forced back several steps, my body slamming heavily against the wall behind me with a "thud"! The impact made me dizzy and lightheaded, and I felt a sharp pain spread throughout my body.

Suddenly, everything changed before my eyes, and I was instantly terrified! I saw Shang Shaochang's sleeves flutter, but the terrifying red mist, like a leech clinging to a bone, did not dissipate with the strong wind. Instead, it clung to Shang Shaochang's green robe more and more tightly, slowly seeping into the garment. Before long, the faint red mist seemed to have a mind of its own, and had completely seeped into the green robe.

I cried out, "Young Master Shang, what is that?" I rushed forward to help him brush away the red mist. But I heard Young Master Shang shout, "Don't come any closer!" He took a few steps back and slammed his head against the iron railing behind him with a thud. His face seemed to have been drained of all its life, turning pale little by little, and a thin line of blood slowly seeped from the corner of his tightly closed mouth.

Behind him, Lan Ye's alluring and smug smile appeared:

"A touch of gentleness, and it's intoxicating, soul-stirring." Her voice, heard from within the iron cage, sounded unusually sweet and eerie. "In this land of gentleness, the hardest thing to bear is ecstasy..."

Ecstasy!

That terrifying aphrodisiac that poisoned Mr. Feng for over twenty years, almost turning him into a cripple!

I exclaimed in surprise, "Lan Ye! You—"

Lan Ye laughed loudly and continued, "I'm ruthless, insidious, unscrupulous, and shameless, aren't I? --" She walked to the iron cage, stared straight at me, and said, word by word, "But I'm still alive, and I'm living better than most people."

Young Master Shang's face flushed and paled intermittently, large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and his breathing grew heavier and heavier, making him appear extremely uncomfortable. I asked anxiously, "Young Master Shang, are you alright?" I then took a step forward. Young Master Shang shouted, "Don't... don't come any closer..." His body trembled, and he could no longer hold on, collapsing to one knee on the ground. His breathing became even more rapid and shallow, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away at once.

I was both shocked and furious! The cold glint in my eyes almost shredded the wicked woman before me! I gritted my teeth and said, "How—how did you use 'Soul-Stealing'?"

Lan Ye's lips slowly curled into a smile as she said gently, "It wouldn't hurt to tell you. Did you know that this 'Soul-Stealing Poison' has another name, 'Yin-Yang Powder'?" Lan Ye stood up and said, "This Yin-Yang Powder has two meanings. First, it signifies that this poison can only be neutralized by the union of Yin and Yang. Second, it means that this poison can only exert its toxicity when Yin and Yang powders are mixed together." She raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Therefore, I scattered Yin powder on you and Yang powder on Young Master Shang. The combined effect of these two powders creates the rare 'Soul-Stealing Poison'."

My face paled, and I looked down at myself. Sure enough, there were still specks of crimson powder on my sleeve, barely noticeable unless you looked closely. I remembered that when my sleeve touched Young Master Shang's, a wisp of red smoke rose up; that smoke must be the 'Ecstasy'. But why was Young Master Shang in such agony, while I felt nothing at all!

Lan Ye seemed to read my mind and slowly said, "This ecstasy was originally created by me to be used on Feng Shaoyi. It has a great effect on men, but no effect on women whatsoever." Lan Ye bit her lip tightly and said bitterly, "I originally thought that with my captivating beauty and this unparalleled medicine, what difficulty would it be for me to consummate my relationship with this man? But in the end—in the end, he was willing to sacrifice ninety percent of his power rather than...with me..."

I retorted angrily, "Do you think all the men in the world would willingly submit to a viper like you?!"

"Viper? Viper!" Lan Ye suddenly turned around, her eyes flashing with an extremely cold and sinister light. Even Li Kuilei, one of the four most cunning and ruthless assassins, did not possess the coldness and viciousness in her eyes.

"Little sister, in a little while you will know what the cruelest and most unbearable humiliation in the world is!"

I exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master Shang, what's wrong with you!" I saw Young Master Shang sway, spitting out blood, which instantly turned the ground into a pool of bright red. He whispered, "Yiyi... don't come any closer..." Suddenly, he vomited another mouthful of blood with a "whoosh."

I could no longer hold back and rushed to Young Master Shang's side, supporting his shoulders. I could feel his whole body trembling slightly. I asked anxiously, "Young Master Shang, are you feeling better? You... how could you vomit blood? You—" Suddenly, Young Master Shang's arms jerked, and he grabbed my hands and pulled me forcefully. I felt a strong force coming from him, and I was immediately held tightly in Young Master Shang's arms!

In a panic, I struggled to break free, but Young Master Shang held me so tightly I couldn't move! I'd seen him vomit blood several times, and thought he was weak, but I hadn't expected him to still have so much strength. His grip was so strong that my nose slammed against his chest, causing a sharp pain. His arms felt like two steel hoops, impossible to break free from. I looked up in shock and saw that although Young Master Shang's face was still unusually pale, his dark eyes had turned blood red! After taking a few deep breaths, Young Master Shang suddenly lowered his head and forcefully kissed my lips!

This is not Shang Shaozhang!

This is not the Shang Shaozhang I know!

The young master Shang before my eyes seemed to have transformed into a terrifying beast!

I cried out in alarm, "Shang—what are you doing! Let go—ah—" With a few soft "sizzling" sounds, Shang Shao Zhang forcefully tore my already tattered crimson robe into several pieces. He then pushed me to the ground, my back pressed against the cold earth. He held me tightly, his chapped lips sucking on mine so hard they almost drew blood!

My heartbroken scream was completely silenced by Shang Shaozhang!

I wish Shang Shaochang would hold me and kiss me, but not now. He's tearing my heart apart like a wild beast!

Lan Ye's icy voice came clearly into my ears:

"Ecstasy, what a wonderful thing! With this drug, I've been able to witness many great shows. Right here in this iron cage, I've seen the true feelings of so-called infatuated men and women clearly."

“When I feel weary of life, I grab a young couple in love, drug the man with an ecstasy drug, and let his lover watch her beloved suffer from the poison. When he can no longer control himself, the man takes advantage of the woman he once loved like a beast.”

“I told them that if the poisoned person wanted to protect their lover’s reputation, they would lose all their martial arts skills and become a cripple. I made those hypocrites choose whether their beloved’s reputation or their own martial arts skills were more important.”

"Men often can't bear the most unbearable pain in the world and turn into beasts. They don't want to lose all their martial arts skills as a result, so they selfishly possess women to keep themselves safe."
