“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 favonovel.com a confident smile as favonovel.com arranged his mattress on the floor.
“Who in the world will want to sleep with you,” favonovel.com muttered softly.
With a roll of favonovel.com eyes at him, Lyanna climbed into bed without changing out of favonovel.com clothes.
She didn’t tell Jared about the dissipation powder because favonovel.com wasn’t planning on feeding it to him. Aware that favonovel.com would be nothing more than an average man awaiting his death if favonovel.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, favonovel.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 favonovel.com couldn’t ask Poison King directly, favonovel.com would have to poke favonovel.com nose around to search for clues about favonovel.com parents.
Right after favonovel.com shut the door to favonovel.com room, the snoring Jared opened his eyes immediately. With a curl of his lips, favonovel.com followed favonovel.com out.
She made a beeline for the second floor where Poison King sleeps. After having stayed there for twenty years, favonovel.com was familiar with the cabin and the timing of the guards’ patrol. It was a piece of cake for favonovel.com to dodge all the patrolling guards.
Soon, favonovel.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 favonovel.com entered his room in the twenty years favonovel.com had stayed in Mapleton. She was never curious about his bedroom until now when favonovel.com needed to search for clues about favonovel.com parents.
Hiding under the window to the room, favonovel.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 favonovel.com stay in Mapleton, so why would favonovel.com decorate his room in such a way?
The decorations seem recent. Is favonovel.com planning to take a bride soon?
She filed away the thoughts at the back of favonovel.com mind and pulled favonovel.com focus back on favonovel.com mission. Once favonovel.com was sure Poison King was asleep, favonovel.com sneaked into his room.
With light fingers and feet, favonovel.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 favonovel.com studied it. Even though favonovel.com possessed martial arts skills, favonovel.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 favonovel.com contemplated, finally landing on a piece of photo on the table. Picking up the photo, favonovel.com scrutinized it under the moonlight.
Her entire body stiffened when favonovel.com saw the people in the photo. She could recognize the young man in the photo as Poison King when favonovel.com was younger, but there was a young girl too. The girl looked familiar to Lyanna because favonovel.com looked very similar to herself.
Despite the photo being slightly yellowed from its age, Lyanna was sure favonovel.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.
