The Body Remains Warm After Being Cursed

The real Bai Ji died on Mount Weier. As the youngest botanist at the Tongxi Science Research Institute, the new species he discovered should have earned him a spot on the award podium. Yet, as his fingers trembled while placing the specimen inside the incubator, a hand reached out from behind and shoved him into a hundred-fathom abyss. “The patent and the glory will both bear my name,” a terrifying voice whispered, swallowed by the rainforest’s damp chill. Bai Ji listened to the sound of his own bones being gnawed on by poisonous insects. Through the excruciating pain, he counted until the 1,001st venomous bug burrowed into his eyeball. The revenge plan hit an unexpected variable at the professor’s celebration banquet. Bai Ji discovered that this hypocritical, sanctimonious professor was actually crying like a child in front of Liao Ran. “So, this is your weakness.” Concealing the black liquid oozing from the back of his hand, Bai Ji served him a glass of red wine. The kidnapping proved easier than anticipated. “I’m dying to know how heartbroken he’ll be when he sees you beneath me.” He bit into Liao Ran’s neck, channeling the venomous bug into his body. Making him form an attachment to his host. “What did you do to me?” Liao Ran forced out the confrontation between gasps, yet his body betrayingly clung to Bai Ji. The sound of the venomous bug slithering through his blood vessels made his entire body burn hot. Those long, slender fingers, once accustomed to performing autopsies, were now clumsily trying to please his enemy’s body. *** One-Sentence Summary: Even the frigid can’t resist the Gu God’s seductive allure.
