The Ghost King's Wife is Sassy and Beautiful Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Unlucky Woman

Feng Chen still wanted to discuss the art of disguise but Yun Ran changed the subject.

“Have you ever come across a strange condition that makes your heart beat faster when you’re near a man; it makes your whole body go weak, and makes you hyperventilate?”

Feng Chen was obsessed with medicine and loved to study strange diseases.

Now that she mentioned it, her condition sounded familiar.

After thinking for a while, he finally figured out why the symptoms sounded so familiar.

Glancing at the two little packrats walking the wolf not far away, he lowered his voice and said, “Miss Yun, are you sure you’re not drugged with that kind of unclean medicine?”

“I was drugged once before, but the effects of that drug would never last this long. Besides, the symptoms are different.”

Previously, when she was in the hot spring, she did not have time to think too much about it. That was why she thought that the abnormality in that body was because of the drug.

But after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was not because of the drug at all.

This was because her body was fine when she held Mo Chengw.a.n.g hostage.

However, she could not approach Mo Beiyuan.

Feng Chen took her pulse and diagnosed her.

“If it is true that you were not drugged, that would be strange.”

Yun Ran’s eyes darkened slightly as she asked, “What if my symptoms only act up when I’m facing Mo Beiyuan?”

Feng Chen was stunned for a moment, then came to a realization.

“Him! There’s nothing strange about that. It’s because of the Gu poison.”

“Gu poison?” Yun Ran was a little confused now. “You mean I’m poisoned?”

Feng Chen also looked at her in surprise. “Why? Didn’t Yuan tell you?”

“Tell me what? What gu poison are you talking about?”

Yun Ran could tell that Feng Chen knew the reason for her physical symptoms, and so did Mo Beiyuan.

Feng Chen realized that he might have spoken too quickly and let it slip. He smiled foolishly at Yun Ran. “I don’t know. I don’t know anything. My mother called me home for dinner. I’ll leave first.”

With that, he flipped over the wall and flew out.

Feng Chen slipped away without a trace, so Yun Ran could only look for Mo Beiyuan again.

At this moment, in the main courtyard of the mansion.

Mo Beiyuan had just bathed in cold water. His long hair was still dripping with water, and his loose black robe was draped over his white unders.h.i.+rt.

He looked normal, but if one looked closely, one would notice that he was in a bad state. The veins on the back of his hand were bulging, and his jaw was clenched tightly as if he was trying his best to endure something. His alien eyes flashed dark and cold.

When Yun Ran came in, she saw his ascetic look. With her previous experience, she quickly took a few steps back.

“Mo Beiyuan, why does my body go limp and my heart beat faster when I approach you? What kind of Gu poison is it? Why does it only act up when I’m with you?”

Mo Beiyuan looked up at her with a frown. “Who told you about the Gu poison?”

Yun Ran cracked her knuckles. “What the h.e.l.l happened? What was that accident we had four years ago?”

All Yun Ran could think of was the unexpected contact between the Host and him, so that was the problem.

If she was really poisoned by the Gu poison, it could only be that time four years ago.

Mo Beiyuan originally wanted to wait until he found a way to cure the Gu poison before telling her. After all, even if she knew, she wouldn’t be of much help.

Now it seemed there was no point in hiding it.

“Four years ago, I was schemed against by someone and was afflicted by a Gu poison called the Love Seed. After being poisoned by this Gu, if I got involved with a woman, we would be bound together. When one dies, the other would not survive alone. Other than that, there would be a fatal attraction between the two.”

Yun Ran was speechless.

“So, I’m the unlucky woman.”
