Impasse

Aware of the severe pain in his left arm, Shangguan Hong immediately loosened his right hand. He found himself unconsciously gouging out several bleeding wounds in his arm again.

What was strange was that, he, who had been so afraid of being hurt, and even shuddered at the thought of it, had realized that he was now addicted to it and that the burning pain felt as intoxicating as good wine.

Shangguan Hong had followed Queen Ju's order to follow Shangguan Ru, but was several days late when he arrived at Heaven's Pass. It turned out that he was too late. It seemed like his half-sister had cast a spell on the people of the small city; she had become one of the most famous figures in the small city in a very short period. There was even news saying that Prince Duodun had been enchanted by her and was willing to pay any price for her.
