When Shen Youling slowly regained consciousness, the first thing she saw was Zhu Yingning and Lee Encai, stark naked and scrambling around in search of clothes.
"What in the..." she muttered, shocked. She couldn't understand how they, who were only there to help, had also been... by Lin Tang.
"Did you take advantage of them?" she demanded, turning to stare at Lin Tang.
"You've misunderstood me," Lin Tang said, shaking his head. He explained that only their clothes had been destroyed; they were both still virgins.
"What?" Shen Youling was shocked all over again.
Lee Encai, maybe. But Zhu Yingning? Hasn't she been married?
Lin Tang shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe her dead husband was a eunuch."
Those who practiced and enjoyed using poison arts were, in truth, playing with their lives. One misstep and the techniques could backfire. It wouldn't be strange at all for one to poison himself into becoming a eunuch.
