At that moment, Angel felt as if he had instantly turned into boiling water, steam about to rise off his entire being, his heart pounding wildly as if it were about to leap right out of his chest!
No, what on earth was this guy doing?!
“No, it’s the poison making him act like this! But honestly, even if he weren’t poisoned, he’d probably still do something like this. This guy is a total pervert!”
Angel stood frozen for several seconds after being licked before he finally snapped out of it and pulled his hand back, but the electric sensation brought on by that rough tongue had already shot through his entire body, nearly making his legs buckle and sending him tumbling to the ground as he hastily stumbled backward!
Damn it, he’d been taken advantage of again! And he could have reacted in time, but he’d let the other party get the better of him for no reason!!
Angel was completely beside himself, because he knew exactly why he had reacted that way just now, the moment the other person made contact with him, that strange sensation from the restaurant earlier came flooding back. He caught the peculiar fragrance emanating from the other’s body and simply couldn’t fully control himself enough to pull away!
If not for Angel forcing himself back with sheer willpower, he might have done something irrational!
No, he had to resolve the problem with his body as soon as possible, or he was done for!
But just as Angel stood there in a daze, he heard the sound of something hitting the ground.
Could it be a piece of fruit falling from a tree? Angel quickly followed the sound with his eyes and saw that the vines he had conjured with his magic, which had grown wildly had all shattered into pieces. He could feel water-element magic energy permeating the air.
It turned out that what had fallen to the ground was William. Angel breathed a sigh of relief, but he had let his guard down far too soon. After a moment, he finally realized who exactly had fallen it was that sickly obsessive pervert who wanted to take advantage of him!
Especially since the other party was clearly not in his right mind right now, the detoxifying mushroom he had fed him still hadn’t taken effect!
Why was the detoxifying mushroom working so slowly this time?!
Angel hurriedly moved to cast his magic again, but his reaction was already half a beat too slow, and the poisoned Merlin seemed to be moving far faster than Angel had before, driven by pure instinct. Before Angel could even process what was happening, he found himself wrapped in abundant water-element magic, and his staff had somehow already fallen into Merlin’s hands!
Angel was on the verge of tears. How could this be? Why had his reactions slowed down at a moment like this?!
He felt like he was done for!
He could excuse his muddled state of mind yesterday, but was he really going to have to experience every detail of this today?
Wait it seemed that whenever he came into contact with this guy, he lost his clarity of mind.
As Angel watched Merlin close the distance to his side in the blink of an eye, cold sweat was practically pouring down his entire body, and he couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
Merlin’s face was still flushed, his breathing rapid, and those blue eyes had already taken on a reddish tinge, making Angel feel like prey that had been locked onto by a predator, his scalp about to explode.
Merlin’s face was now right in front of Angel’s, and Angel could clearly feel the heat radiating from the other’s skin far hotter than his own along with the scorching, rapid breaths spraying against his cheeks.
Ange tried to jerk his head back to dodge, but the water currents swirling behind his head were firmly trapping his skull, refusing to let him move recklessly.
“Ange…” A soft voice slipped from Merlin’s lips, stirring up another gust of air.
The tense Ange could clearly feel the fine hairs on his cheeks being ruffled by the breath, and it seemed he could once again catch that scent emanating from Merlin the one that lured him into the abyss of sin.
In a fleeting moment of daze, Ange watched Merlin lean in, seemingly about to kiss him directly.
But just as there were only a few strands of hair’s width between the other’s lips and his own, several mushrooms suddenly sprouted from the top of Merlin’s head.
Merlin halted his movement, finally snapping back to clarity.
“Mushrooms, the mushrooms finally worked! Get away, get away from me now!” The frantic inner voice exploding in Ange’s mind made Merlin instantly fix his gaze on the face so close to his own.
It was only then that he realized with a jolt just how close they were. He could clearly see the pigment distribution and subtle undulations of the iris in Ange’s red pupils, feel the cool temperature radiating from the other’s skin lower than his own body heat and sense the rapid breaths spraying onto his face, tickling him with each puff.
“If you’ve come to your senses, then stay away from me! Don’t tell me you’re still trying to take advantage of me at a time like this? Truly a pervert!”
Merlin, still groggy, finally snapped back to reality, and his face nearly darkened on the spot.
Why would he ever think of taking advantage of a liar?!
But just then, another mushroom popped out from the back of Merlin’s head.
When a mushroom sprouts, it carries a slight impact force though not particularly strong but given how close Merlin was to Ange at that moment, the tiny push from the mushroom at the back of his head was enough to press their lips together, closing the gap of just a few strands of hair.
Soft lips suddenly pressed against each other. Ange only felt the scorching heat clearly transmitted from the other’s lips, as if that warmth shot straight into his heart, making it pound wildly.
At the same time, because of the skin contact, that alluring scent emanating from the other surged forth once more, leaving Ange dizzy and even tempted to press closer.
But thankfully, Ange’s head was still held in place by Merlin’s magic.
Merlin only felt the cool temperature suddenly pressing against his lips like a soft, chilled grape. For an instant, he even wanted to extend his tongue and roll this “grape” into his mouth.
But the rationality that snapped back in an instant made Merlin realize what had just happened, and he took a large step backward, completely baffled as to how things had escalated to this point.
And with Merlin’s retreat, Ange’s hazy senses also returned. Once he processed what had occurred, he was practically bristling with shock.
“Aaaah why did this happen! No! I was supposed to cure his poison, but instead the mushroom gave him an assist! I’m so wronged, I’m so miserable, how could I be this unlucky!”
Merlin:
Clearly, he was the one who’d gotten the short end of the stick here!
But wait, what mushrooms? Merlin looked down and saw the mushrooms growing on his bare hands.
The mushroom’s shape was quite familiar it looked just like the everyday oyster mushrooms people ate, but oyster mushrooms certainly didn’t grow on a person’s hand!
Could it be that he had already been parasitized by the other’s mushrooms? Was he about to be controlled?
“Um, this is a detoxifying mushroom I’ve newly developed eating it can expel the toxins from your body.” Though his mind was already in a frenzy, Ange could only pretend on the surface that nothing had happened at all, awkwardly explaining to Merlin.
