Chapter 316
"Why is my stomach hurting so much?" Sebastian instantly knitted his brows in agony after taking the red wine. He collapsed onto the bed from the unbearable pain and rolled around.
He shot daggers at Yvette. "Did you lace my wine with poison?"
Chuckling gleefully, she spat, "I'd even go as far as to tear you into pieces, you despicable rascal who ruined my good reputation! Poisoning you is an act of mercy."
"Yvette Osborne, I gave you a chance. Why didn't you cherish it?" While speaking, Sebastian sat up in bed with a snicker, no longer looking like he was in pain.
"How is this possible? Why aren't you poisoned?" Shocked, she lost her composure. She had clearly witnessed him drinking the poisoned red wine. Besides, the poison was from Marcus, and it should have been effective.
"I grew up around medicinal herbs. Your everyday poison is ineffective to me," he explained with contempt.
In reality, he broke out in a cold sweat when he realized his wine was poisoned. He might have grown up around medicinal herbs and was immune to most poisons, but Yvette's poison was super potent. His old self wouldn't have survived the poisoning.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Fortunately, he was practicing dual cultivation. His active and passive energy helped in detoxifying his body. On top of that, the dual cultivation process strengthened his body, helping him survive the assassination.
"Tell me, what's your preferred method of death?" He chuckled icily as Yvette's face turned white. She spun around and made a dash for the door.
Alas, Sebastian wouldn't let go of her. He clawed in the air, and she felt herself being wrapped up in a strong force. He tossed her onto the bed just by waving in the air.
Yvette was scared out of her wits. She hadn't expected Sebastian to be so powerful. She went on her knees in bed to beg for mercy. "Please don't kill me. I was wrong. Give me one more chance. I'll never pull that on you anymore."
"I can spare your life, but it all depends on how you behave," he said suggestively.
Yvette picked up the undertone and was overwhelmed by strong feelings of humiliation. However, she had no choice but to strip naked and put her voluptuous body on full display in order to survive.
Sebastian immediately pinned her onto the bed and kissed her on the lips as he satisfied his lust.
He used to suppress himself, but he later came to understand the ephemeral quality of life. Even if he reached the Divine Realm, that would only add a hundred years to his lifespan.
As time was short and precious, there was no point suppressing his needs. One should enjoy
life to the fullest and not let opportunities go to waste. He wanted to enjoy life when he still had the time to.
Meanwhile, Yvette shut her eyes tight and silently endured his thrusts. Filled with anger, she badly wished she could shred him into pieces.
More than anger, she was filled with melancholy. How ridiculous was it for a daughter of the Osborne family to offer up her body in exchange for her life?
An hour later, Yvette rested on the bed for a while before getting up and putting on her clothes. She was ready to leave, but Sebastian stopped her. "You can't leave without my permission."
"What more do you want after having your way with me?" she snarled at him.
"Do you think we've settled the score after letting me fuck you once? You were trying to poison me, you know." He scoffed.
"How many times are you going to play around with me?" she questioned, seething.
