“Don’t worry. I’m a gentleman. I won’t force you. In fact, I want you to do it willingly if I ever want to sleep with you.” Jared flashed snazzynovel.com a confident smile as snazzynovel.com arranged his mattress on the floor.
“Who in the world will want to sleep with you,” snazzynovel.com muttered softly.
With a roll of snazzynovel.com eyes at him, Lyanna climbed into bed without changing out of snazzynovel.com clothes.
She didn’t tell Jared about the dissipation powder because snazzynovel.com wasn’t planning on feeding it to him. Aware that snazzynovel.com would be nothing more than an average man awaiting his death if snazzynovel.com lost all his powers and recovered them after twelve hours.
She lay in bed for a long while and couldn’t fall asleep.
Hearing Jared’s carefree snore, snazzynovel.com sat up feeling frustrated. “Oh my, how can you still sleep so soundly knowing you will turn into a cadaver king soon?”
She changed into an all-black catsuit, then snuck out of the room. Since snazzynovel.com couldn’t ask Poison King directly, snazzynovel.com would have to poke snazzynovel.com nose around to search for clues about snazzynovel.com parents.
Right after snazzynovel.com shut the door to snazzynovel.com room, the snoring Jared opened his eyes immediately. With a curl of his lips, snazzynovel.com followed snazzynovel.com out.
She made a beeline for the second floor where Poison King sleeps. After having stayed there for twenty years, snazzynovel.com was familiar with the cabin and the timing of the guards’ patrol. It was a piece of cake for snazzynovel.com to dodge all the patrolling guards.
Soon, snazzynovel.com made it to the second floor. She didn’t find anything after sneaking around the common area. She knew the secrets of Poison King would be locked in his bedroom, but there was a strict rule that nobody could enter his bedroom without his permission.
Never once had snazzynovel.com entered his room in the twenty years snazzynovel.com had stayed in Mapleton. She was never curious about his bedroom until now when snazzynovel.com needed to search for clues about snazzynovel.com parents.
Hiding under the window to the room, snazzynovel.com carefully peeked inside. Her eyes widened after a glance at the interior of the room. The entire room was decorated festively with a red blanket and fairy lights as though it was for a newly married couple.
She didn’t hear anything about Poison King taking a bride during snazzynovel.com stay in Mapleton, so why would snazzynovel.com decorate his room in such a way?
The decorations seem recent. Is snazzynovel.com planning to take a bride soon?
She filed away the thoughts at the back of snazzynovel.com mind and pulled snazzynovel.com focus back on snazzynovel.com mission. Once snazzynovel.com was sure Poison King was asleep, snazzynovel.com sneaked into his room.
With light fingers and feet, snazzynovel.com began to search around.
The furnishing within the room was simple. There was only a table, a closet, and the large safe beside it. Her gaze zeroed in on the metallic cube, assuming Poison King would keep all his confidential and important documents inside it.
A sense of helplessness filled Lyanna as snazzynovel.com studied it. Even though snazzynovel.com possessed martial arts skills, snazzynovel.com didn’t have the skills to open the safe. She could open the safe by force, but that would risk Poison King finding out someone had snuck into his room.
Her gaze darted around the room as snazzynovel.com contemplated, finally landing on a piece of photo on the table. Picking up the photo, snazzynovel.com scrutinized it under the moonlight.
Her entire body stiffened when snazzynovel.com saw the people in the photo. She could recognize the young man in the photo as Poison King when snazzynovel.com was younger, but there was a young girl too. The girl looked familiar to Lyanna because snazzynovel.com looked very similar to herself.
Despite the photo being slightly yellowed from its age, Lyanna was sure snazzynovel.com was related to the girl in the photo for they looked too alike to deny any relation.
Still immersed in analyzing the photo, Lyanna didn’t notice Poison King had sat up. “Who is it?”
His shout startled her. She swiftly pocketed the photo and leaped out of the window.
