Inside the cave.
Chu Kuangren placed Leng Ningyu and Chi Yue on the ground.
Leng Ningyu may cultivate the Unruffled Emotions Dao, but under the influence of that primitive drive inside her body, her face started to feel flush red.
It was her first time having such a feeling.
Meanwhile, Chi Yue beside her could no longer resist her l.u.s.t. She jumped straight onto Chu Kuangren and embraced him with her gaze blurry. She pressed her lips toward him and tried to kiss him.
Chu Kuangren stopped her with his hand and said calmly, "Trying to take advantage of me? In your dreams."
"Brother Chu, now that I"ve already offered myself to you, why are you still so shy? Just hurry up."
Chu Kuangren stared at Chi Yue. He did not know why, but when he looked at the desperation in her, he felt like he was the one who drew the shorter end of the straw here.
Beside them, Leng Ningyu took a deep breath as well. She was already beginning to loosen her waistband.
Although she had never done this before, she had heard about it occasionally from some of her sisters. Hence, she knew what was to be done.
Chu Kuangren watched from the side and ordered them to stop. "Hold up."
"Brother Chu, are you a man? Why are you delaying matters and rejecting two beautiful women"s advances? If you insist, we might actually die."
Chi Yue lamented, dissatisfied.
She could not resist that temptation in her any longer.
"Don"t worry. I won"t allow you both to die. However, who told you that this is the only way to cure yourselves of the poison?"
Chu Kuangren replied amusingly and pushed away Chi Yue, who was still trying to take off her clothes. Then, he proceeded to use mind power to control the two"s actions.
What a joke. Did they think it was that easy to take advantage of a person of his standards?!
"Steady your mind. Later, follow my instructions and circulate your spiritual power."
Chu Kuangren said calmly. He simply lifted his arm and condensed the water qi around him into needles, which he slowly inserted into the two women"s bodies.
After all, he was a top-notch physician.
If he could treat the flame poison that plagued Lady Leng Yue for so many years, then the flame poison on these two women should be no problem for him at all.
"Great Palace, Hundred Meetings, Sea of Qi, Three Yin Intersection…"
Chu Kuangren"s voice echoed. Every water needle inserted would guide the two women"s spiritual power to circulate.
Slowly, the flame poison inside the two women"s bodies was encased by water qi and began to excrete from their fingertips.
Outside the cave.
Li Celong was pacing back and forth. Whenever he thought of the image of what could have happened in the cave, he would get so p.i.s.sed that he clenched his teeth. He wished he could just charge inside and kill Chu Kuangren just for the sake of it.
However, he did not have the courage to do so.
Not to mention Chu Kuangren, he might not even be able to beat Swordsman Mei, who was guarding outside the cave and watching him now.
A l.u.s.tful look shot out from his eyes as he stared at Swordsman Mei.
The person in front of him was a woman whose appearance was as beautiful as Leng Ningyu, and her style was completely different. She was extremely soft-spoken and charming — a peerless stunner.
Li Celong gulped in jealousy. He felt incredibly jealous of Chu Kuangren.
Why?
Why was Chu Kuangren always surrounded by such beauties? Was it because he looked more handsome than himself?
"I heard Brother Chu calling you Swordsman Mei just now. I wonder if you"re from the Sword Tribe?"
Li Celong asked curiously.
"Does it matter if I am?" Swordsman Mei said indifferently as she stared back at him. Her gaze was transfixed as if she was looking at an item on sale.
If Chu Kuangren did not order her to watch over Li Celong, she reckoned she would not pay heed to him at all.
"But I heard that the Sword Tribe are sworn enemies with Brother Chu. If I may, why are you by his side, Miss? Did he threaten you?"
Li Celong inquired, hoping to dig out some dirt on Chu Kuangren.
Swordsman Mei knew that he was trying to pick on things that could sour her relations.h.i.+p with Chu Kuangren. Hence, after hearing his words, she immediately glared at him and sneered, "I know what you"re trying to do here. If you dare have ill intentions toward my Master, I have a hundred ways of torturing you that"ll make you wish you were dead."
Master?!
Upon hearing how Swordsman Mei referred to Chu Kuangren, envy welled up in Li Celong"s heart once again.
Swordsman Mei should be one of the most elite sky-prides in the Sword Tribe. Yet to his surprise, she was willing to submit to Chu Kuangren and call him Master.
Did that mean Chu Kuangren was now free to do anything he wished to her?
What a b.a.s.t.a.r.d!!
Where the h.e.l.l did Chu Kuangren get so much luck with women?!
Deep down, Li Celong yelled with discontent.
After failing to find any interest in Swordsman Mei, Li Celong stopped asking further. Instead, he glanced at the cave, and feeling increasingly frustrated, he stood up to leave the place.
Just then, a figure flashed past him.
Swordsman Mei said to him coldly, "Master hasn"t allowed you to leave yet. Mind if you stay put here obediently? Otherwise, I don"t mind cutting off both of your feet so you could."
Either way, Chu Kuangren had instructed her to keep Li Celong from escaping. He did not mention that she could not harm him.
"You…"
Li Celong was driven mad. However, when he looked into Swordsman Mei"s ice-cold eyes, he immediately lost all of his anger.
"Fine, fine. I"ll stay here."
Li Celong found a rock nearby to sit on. In his mind, he was already plotting how to deal with Chu Kuangren.
He was definitely not Chu Kuangren"s match in a single combat.
Even if he had an Opportunity of Fortune that would enable him to improve significantly in a short period of time, it would still be near impossible to improve his power to Chu Kuangren"s level.
The only other option he had left was to ask someone else to beat Chu Kuangren for him.
Princess Chi Lian. If he could help Princess Chi Lian to get the Crimson Miasma Lotus Flame, she might become powerful enough to take Chu Kuangren down.
At the thought of this, Li Celong looked toward the cave with a piercing hatred in his eyes.
"Chu Kuangren, you must pay the price for s.n.a.t.c.hing the woman that I desire!!"
At this moment, inside the cave.
Chu Kuangren had already used water qi to force out the flame poison inside the two ladies.
The instant the flame poison was forced out, both of them felt like an enormous weight had been lifted off their shoulders, and they felt extremely comfortable again. They could not help but let out a moan of delight.
Outside the cave, Li Celon almost blew up upon hearing that sound.
There he was, hearing the "squeals of delight" of his desired woman who was with another man. This feeling made his blood boil, and he almost vomited blood.
Inside the cave.
Chu Kuangren stared at the two flame poisons in front of him. There was a weird expression on his face.
One of the flame poisons looked normal, but the one that came out from Leng Ningyu"s body seemed mixed with some kind of strange substance.
It was a strange powder.
Coincidentally, Chu Kuangren knew what that powder was.
"Bug powder produced from Queen Snow Jade Bug. The physician"s inheritance that I"ve obtained contains knowledge about this substance. It"s a rare healing ingredient, but these Queen Snow Jade Bugs also have the property of attracting each other, so they can be used as a tracker. Why would this stuff be inside Sister Leng"s body?"
"The fact that it was mixed with the flame poison means that this must be Princess Chi Lian"s doing. However, this substance is extremely rare. Very few people know about this substance, much less have access to it, unless they are physicians."
Only then did Chu Kuangren remember that Li Celong was outside the cave.
His Honorable Teacher, Master Daoist Li, was a physician. It would make sense if this substance belonged to Li Celong.
Besides, he suddenly showed up here and helped Princess Chilian escape when he had a clear chance of killing her.
There was definitely something fishy about this.
"Are Li Celong and Princess Chilian working together? But what sort of deal can a serpent and a human benefit from each other?"
Chu Kuangren stroked his chin, feeling very intrigued at this prospect.
It seemed like he had another game to play now.
