Bab 148: Poison (3)

Mo Qian Yuan obeyed, and cautiously approached the stone table. Seeing the frown deepen on Jun Wu Xie, he gulped, quietly.

Mo Qian Yuan obediently sat.

"Hand."

"Young Miss!" Long Qi slid to a stop on one knee.

"What happened?" Jun Wu Xie's sensitive nose picked up another trace of blood coming from Long Qi. It was very slight, unlike the acrid stench from Mo Qian Yuan, this seemed to have caught on Long Qi 's clothes from the air and not from direct contact.

"Trouble." Long Qi replied simply.
