At this moment.
As the Gu Insect in Lady Lan's body suddenly went berserk, she lost control and fell to her knees. It was as if time itself had frozen solid.
Their gazes met mid-air. Though their expressions differed, both were reeling in shock.
Lady Lan looked up at Chen Sheng, who was just inches away, her eyes filled with utter disbelief.
The gnawing restlessness and sense of powerlessness from a moment ago still lingered in every fiber of her being, leaving her shaken and unable to compose herself.
This sudden, violent reaction from the Simurgh Phoenix Jade Butterfly within her was completely beyond her control and expectations.
To be kneeling so wretchedly before a man was a predicament she had never before faced in her life.
Yet, amidst her shock, a thought suddenly flashed through Lady Lan's disordered mind.
'That Dragon Yang Gu King from the Poison Flame Cave…'
'Could it... have fallen into Chen Sheng's hands?'
