“The magistrates are free to burn down houses, while the common people are forbidden even to light lamps.”1 So went a famous idiom about unfair double standards, and a perfect descriptor for Long Feiye’s current attitude. His conservative standards seemed to only apply to other people and not himself. There were around a hundred people total gathered on both shores of the Illusory Sea Lake, and all of them were looking his way. Despite this, he did as he pleased and reveled in bullying Han Yunxi.

Han Yunxi found the whole thing embarrassing at first, but as Long Feiye gradually provoked her with his tongue, she tossed her embarrasment aside. Since they were so happy, they should have a proper celebration! If an ‘old-timer’ like Long Feiye could let loose, why should she feel any awkward? Who cares who was watching–let them see! They were legally married husband and wife, anyways, so their actions were perfectly fair and reasonable!

Very quickly, Han Yunxi generously returned Long Feiye’s kiss as their tongues entwined. She seemed to be both challenging and teasing him in the same breath, inciting Long Feiye to increase his attacks and deepen their kiss. Baili Mingxiang’s face turned red as she averted her eyes. Even a few of the men on the scene began to feel abashed at the sight and looked away.

These two are just doing whatever they please. Seriously, that’s enough!

While the couple kissed, the workers were fervently buzzing with activity and gathering up the fish. They’d chiseled open such a large cavity that they were reeling in their nets much faster than fishing from a usual fisheye. Nobody knew what kind of drug Han Yunxi had in her bottle, but the lively, thrashing fish meant that it couldn’t be poisonous.

In truth, Han Yunxi had used poison–a type of sweet-smelling toxin with many similarities to typical fish bait. A single small bottle was enough to affect the entire lake. This type of poison took a long time to take effect–at least one or two days later. But only very small quantities of the poison would be absorbed by the fish into their bodies. Affected fish would only show sympt13oms through increased irritability. Humans who ingested the poisoned fish wouldn’t be poisoned themselves. Even a high-level poisons master like Jun Yixie couldn’t figure out the toxin, because it was an invention from modern times.

In one to two days, all the fish would have been frozen solid already. Who could tell any signs of their symptoms by then?
