"You scared me for a moment," ZhiYi breathed into MingYu's ear.
MingYu felt his face burning up, and he cursed ShiBai's young and responsive body. He was too old to react like a teenager! But Wu TianLan and ZhiYi-
Argh! Distractions, he needed a distraction!
Faintly remembering that they were tailing madam Sha's son, he pushed ZhiYi off him and snapped his head around, searching for the man. But he had already disappeared outside the city gates.
What in the world was going on?
It was YueQin who whispered, "Why did you kill it?"
"They are poisonous," PingZe spat, strutting towards the inn, leaving the bloodstain behind. "If you touch them, they will latch onto you or bite you. Wouldn't want them crawling all over the place."
"Where did it come from?" ZhiYi asked as he guided MingYu to walk after PingZe.
