Chapter 158: 158 The Monumental Poison

By this time, the mercenaries had finished searching the grounds and were filtering into the garage. The garage led to the main underground hall where Qin Feng and Green Snake were hiding.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Qin Feng stealthily slid a cue stick from its rack. This item, when wielded by Qin Feng, was better than a gun.

Hearing the footsteps just outside the room, Qin Feng nodded to Green Snake. She hit the door at exactly the right time, startling the three mercenaries who had just entered the room. They looked around, saw Green Snake, and then began rushing toward her.

As they moved forward, Qin Feng jumped out. He swung his arm, and for a moment, his weapon was invisible. Before the mercenaries realized what Qin Feng was doing, he had swung the cue stick an incalculable number of times. A moment later, Qin Feng stood confidently in front of the room, and the three men were groaning on the floor.

Qin Feng had also managed to take their guns. He slung one on his back, held one in his hands, and expertly threw the third to Green Snake. Then he said casually, "Well, that's it. Go?"

There were about 20 mercenaries left on the other side, but even if there were hundreds of people, Qin Feng was confident that he would be able to reach the One-Eyed Dragon. He was determined that tonight was the night for the general to die.

However, when Qin Feng turned to look at Green Snake, he saw that her eyes appeared unfocused. Then she faintly spoke.

"Qin Feng, I…They gave me poison to prevent you from fighting and they have the antidote. They expected you to try to save me at all costs, so if you were able to leave with me...”

In the middle of her sentence, Green Snake’s body went limp, and blood spewed out of her mouth. She began smoking, unable to breathe. Qin Feng knew what poison she must have been given. It was well known in the Golden Triangle. If the antidote was not administered within three hours, even the gods couldn’t save someone from it.

Green Snake abruptly fell to the ground, Qin Feng wrapped his arms around her and said nervously, "Green Snake. Green Snake! Come on! Wake up!"

Qin Feng had no idea that the One-Eyed Dragon would take this route to ensure that he could not escape with Green Snake. If he wanted to save Green Snake’s life, he would need to go back to seek the general, and the price was likely to be the list.

Green Snake weakly clasped Qin Feng's hand and tears began to leak from her eyes which were trying to focus on his face. She did not think that she would die like this, but she felt lucky to be dying in Qin Feng’s arms.

The whole situation, and this end, had come on so suddenly. Green Snake had been content all these years to fight alongside Qin Feng because she was able to see him every day, look upon his sunny face and strong figure, and know his burning heart.

How many times she had wanted to tell him about the feelings in her heart, and how many nights she had wanted to walk with him in the moonlight, watching the stars and feeling the cool breeze. However, this little wish of hers had never been satisfied. She thought that in another life, she might have liked to be a delicate woman who stayed at home to support Qin Feng when he came home from battle. An uncomplicated and pure life and love. Unfortunately, this life did not allow her to have such things.

"No! No! Green Snake, listen to me. I will not allow you to leave me again, never."

Qin Feng tightly embraced Green Snake, rubbing the back of her hand over and over with his thumb. He shed tears, then cried, "I’ll go to kill him and force him to hand over the antidote. Then I’ll chop his body into ten thousand pieces!"

"Qin Feng, don’t. He must be waiting for you to come. You can’t directly kill him if you try to get the antidote. When you hesitate, he’ll act. It’s too dangerous."

Green Snake suddenly smiled very brightly. Qin Feng thought that this might have been the first time he saw her wear such a pure smile, and he thought about how beautiful she looked. He wondered to himself how he hadn’t carefully studied her beauty until she was about to die.

"No. No matter what, even if I die trying to save you, I won’t let you leave the world like this!" Qin Feng then insistently said, “Wait for me here. Wait for me!”

"Qin Feng, don't go. I'm afraid I'll never see you again. Please. Stay with me for now, then get out of here alone."

Green Snake clasped Qin Feng's hand tighter, stayed quiet for a moment, then finally gathered up the courage to say, "To be honest, over the years, I--I have always liked you. But I didn’t dare to tell you and be rejected. You always said you were hurt by your first love and didn’t want to consider women anymore. My relationship with Green Dragon was just to see how you would react. When you were indifferent, I realized you must not have feelings for me so I didn’t dare to think about being with you. But even though we were never together, my best years were spent with you. That’s enough. After I’m dead, you must be happy. Promise me. Promise me!"

After hearing this statement, Qin Feng felt like his heart would explode. He had put his feelings away years ago and didn’t consider them or what his heart wanted. At that time, Green Snake had often looked for opportunities to be alone with him. She would also do things that could have been read as more intimate, but Qin Feng did not take those actions seriously. He thought they were just buddies. Even when they were cuddling, he assumed it meant nothing. They had experienced life and death together, and there was nothing their friendship couldn’t bear.

He didn’t expect that that relationship he took for granted endured at the expense of Green Snake’s honesty. As for Green Snake, she didn’t expect that her confession would really come at the end of her life.

Qin Feng thought of a beautiful flower on the edge of a cliff—a desirable treasure that could not be touched. He had opportunities to use the assistance of the wind and waves to reach the flower, but he didn’t take them. Now that the flower was within Qin Feng’s grasp, it was being carried by the wind to the end of the earth.

"No. No." Qin Feng shook his head, then said through tight lips, “Green Snake. I won’t let you die. Stand up. Stand up!”

Qin Feng was letting himself feel the entire range of emotions the moment called for. He was lost in his sadness and his desire to see Green Snake live. Truthfully, he was deeply afraid that after his departure, he would never see Green Snake again, and he couldn’t bear the thought of losing her body if her soul were to leave this world.

However, in the heat of the moment, Qin Feng had made a grave mistake. Because of his emotion, he had forgotten to observe his surroundings.

Outside of the bubble of his grief, the One-Eyed Dragon and twenty of his men were approaching.
