"You're very capable." Her voice was still clear and sharp, but it lacked some of the previous murderous intent.
"I lost."
The moment the words left her lips, the light in her eyes dimmed completely, leaving not a trace of lingering affection. Her head drooped slightly, and her pearly teeth prepared to close without hesitation—the movement was resolute and swift, with a clear target, the final resting place hidden beneath her tongue!
"Quick! Host! Don't let her bite!"
Yun Yiyi's voice exploded sharply in Qin Xiao's mind, with unprecedented panic!
"If she dies, this node will collapse! We will be wiped out by the rules of the world!"
Annihilation?!
These two words pierced Qin Xiao's consciousness like icicles, bringing a bone-chilling cold.
There was no time to think about what "node collapse" meant; the body's instinctive reaction had already outpaced the brain's instructions!
Seeing the resolute determination in Mo Meigui's eyes that seemed to extinguish all life, Qin Xiao knew that any conventional obstruction or block would be too late!
In the blink of an eye!
Qin Xiao suddenly took a step forward, his left hand moving with lightning speed to precisely grip her smooth yet icy nape, forcefully preventing her from lowering her head.
Mo Meigui suddenly opened her eyes wide, and in those eyes that were always covered with frost, she now clearly reflected Qin Xiao's approaching face, as well as his undisguised astonishment and disbelief.
The next second, under her gaze, Qin Xiao leaned down and used his lips to precisely and forcefully seal her red lips that were about to bring death!
A soft, cool touch instantly reached him, even carrying a faint, rust-like odor—a dangerous signal that the venom sac was about to rupture! Qin Xiao's heart tightened, and he had no time to sense any strangeness brought about by this sudden contact. His tongue, driven by a fighting instinct, had already deftly penetrated, quickly curling and sucking in the narrow, warm space!
A small sac slightly larger than a grain of rice and smooth to the touch was brought out by him with incredible precision!
After completing the action, Qin Xiao immediately took a half step back as if he had been electrocuted, quickly widening the distance between the two of them.
He looked down at the tiny object wrapped in a transparent membrane on the tip of his tongue, and his stomach churned violently. A strong feeling of nausea surged up his throat, almost causing him to lose his composure on the spot.
He suppressed his discomfort, quickly spat out the poison sac, carefully wrapped it in layers of tissue paper, and stuffed it into his pocket - this thing might have unexpected uses in the future.
After doing all this, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
In the abandoned factory, only the howling of the night wind through the hollow window frames and the unsteady breathing of the two men remained.
Mo Meigui stood there blankly, her left shoulder joint dislocated, her arm hanging limply at her sides. She subconsciously raised her right hand, her fingertips lightly touching her lips, where the warmth of the other's forceful intrusion seemed to linger, along with… a strange, unsettling scent.
Her pretty face, always covered in a thousand-year-old ice, finally cracked. A complex blush, a mixture of shame, indignation, bewilderment, humiliation, and utter shock, spread uncontrollably from her neck to her ears. She looked at Qin Xiao with a complex expression, as complex as an overturned palette.
Qin Xiao also felt uncomfortable all over, and his throat was dry.
There were a thousand ways to save someone, but this was the most misleading. Even though it was the only way I could think of, the quickest way to stop it, it felt… even more exhausting than the life-and-death struggle with her just now.
He cleared his throat, trying to break the awkward silence that seemed to freeze the air, and his gaze sharpened again as he looked directly at the other person.
"Ahem," Qin Xiao's voice was a little hoarse due to the tension just now and the current embarrassment. "Now, can we talk about it? For example, what are we going to eat tonight?"
