The man stared hatefully at Hongmo as he reached for his dagger on his belt.

"You feel that don't you? The numbness? In your legs and in your arms." Hongmo told them. The room hand quieted down when the argument started between the Blood Moon and the Thunder Condor's. Everyone wanted to watch what was going to happen and wanted to see them fight. Hongmo's words rang clear for everyone to hear as she explained his symptoms. "There's a tingling feeling in your limbs now isn't there? As if an army of ants are running up and down them."

"What did you do, you bitch!" He shouted as panic starts to take in.

"Why, I gave you exactly what you deserve." Hongmo told him. "You are now feeling the lower part of your body go numb as well as the poison activates."

The man fell down and was caught by his friends as they sat him down in the chair.

"When that numbness reaches your heart, you die. There should also be a burning sensation inside of you. A slow burn from the numbness, creeping towards your heart. How horrific, the feeling of feeling and knowing your death as it crawls up your qi veins and towards your heart. And I say you have about a few more minutes to live your pathetic life." Hongmo told him. "That is the price you pay for laying your hand on me."

"Give me the cure or I'll-"

"You'll what?" Hongmo cut him off. "Who told you to mess with the Godly Poison Expert? Who told you that you could touch this God who walks upon you men? Who told you to stick your hand into the dragon's den?"

All his friends step back as they realized who stood in front of them. The Godly Poison Expert who didn't sell her poisons, but only cured those in need, actually used poison to defend herself. Who knew what other kinds of poisons she had on her body and they didn't want to find out. They couldn't afford to offend her should they need her services one day. And seeing how their friend suffer they didn't want to be in his position should they offend her.

"I'm sorry!" He shouted as the poison crept closer to his heart.

"It's too late for apologies." Hongmo told him. Her gaze flickered around the room, meeting the eyes of the people. They quickly looked away as their eyes met. "This is my one and only warning to everyone. Should you offend me, I'll take your life as forfeit to the offense you gave to me."    

"You can't--"  He said as the word choked on his throat.  

"I can and I will.  You shouldn't have laid a hand on me.  Am I wearing revealing clothing that signifies my status as a prostitute? No."  Hongmo said as she stepped towards him.  "Did I get on your lap and run my hands through your hair to let you know that I'm attracted to you?"  

As Hongmo talked, she did what she said.  She straddled the man and ran her hand through his hair as she grabbed a huge chunk of it with her fingers and pulled his head back.   

"Did I say you could touch me and that I'll like it?"  Hongmo said as he leaned into him. Her lips hovered over his as tears drip down his face in fear.  

He could feel the poison reach his heart as the poison slows down the beating.   His lips starts to become numb which caused him to be unable to speak.  

"Now, I shall give you what you wanted had you just ask me.  I would have given it to you freely."  Hongmo told him.  "The Kiss of Death."  

Hongmo's lips touched his as she kissed him.  His body, that was flushed with life, turned pale as the kiss continued.  Hongmo sucked his soul through his lips for the Goryo.  The Goryo roared with pleasure as it fed on the soul.  Hongmo pulled away when she finished sucking his soul.  She stood up and poured a white powder on top of him.  When the white power touched his body, his body started to shiver violently then to everyone's horror the body turned into ashes.  His death and his body completely disappearing from their eyes within moments.  

The Godly Poison Expert made it known that night to never cross her, should anyone does, they'll not survive her anger.  Not even their spirit would survive to go to the after world.  

"You guys want a kiss from these lips?" Hongmo asked the Thunder Condor Squad. She turned around in a circle as she talked slowly and clearly for everyone to hear.  "Anyone in this room wants to taste the Kiss of Death?" 

When no one moved or said anything Hongmo hooked Vixen by the arm and lead her to their table.  

"That's what I thought!"  Vixen said as she rubbed the victory in everyone's face.  "No one messes with Godly Poison Expert Hongmo and lives to tell the tale!"  

Nightmare smiled and sat down next to Hongmo while Vixen sat on the other side of Hongmo, the two of them then proceeded to introduce to her the other people at the table.  

Soon the room became noisy again as the rest of the people went back to their business.  As the Thunder Condor Squad had left to avoid anymore trouble and report to their Elders what happened to their friend.
