Chapter 492 - 492: Threat and Revenge

Yan Ziyu and Shenyang Jia scrambled up from the floor, utterly mortified.

Lingzi feigned a look of surprise, taking two steps back before bursting into laughter. "Were you two peeping because you want to do something naughty with me?" she asked.

Kawashima Haruhiro's Primordial Qi was growing weaker and weaker, no longer enough to satisfy her needs. So, she'd set her sights on these two sturdy young men.

'Their Primordial Qi must be delicious.' Lingzi stuck out her tongue and lightly licked her lips, her expression filled with anticipation.

Her expression and words made Yan Ziyu's and Shenyang Jia's faces flush and their hearts pound.

When had they ever experienced anything like this? They subconsciously felt this was some kind of international romantic encounter. 'But how should we answer Lingzi? Just say yes? Wouldn't that be too forward? What if we make her angry? Should we be more subtle? Play hard to get? But if we miss this chance because of that, we'll regret it for the rest of our lives, won't we?'

The two of them were torn and deeply troubled.

Lingzi saw right through them. The corners of her lips curled up, and she was about to lure them in further. But just then, a burst of hurried footsteps echoed from the hallway. Lingzi turned to see Zhao Yuan walking over, followed by the Japanese Formula staff member responsible for monitoring him. The man was even holding a video camera. If Zhao Yuan tried to cheat, he could record it so there would be no lack of evidence later.

"What are you doing here?"

Zhao Yuan's brows shot up when he saw Lingzi.

The reason he had rushed over so late at night was that he had just felt a strange fluctuation of Qi in the vicinity.

Zhao Yuan's current power was at the Peak of Marrow Cleansing, with one foot already in the Qi Listening Realm. He was able to perceive some of the stronger fluctuations in Qi, just not very clearly.

Seeing Zhao Yuan and the Japanese Formula staff member with the camera, Lingzi sighed internally. 'What a shame,' she lamented to herself. 'No more Primordial Qi for me today.'

Outwardly, however, she put on a pitiful and endearing expression and said, "I came to visit Mr. Kawashima."

"Did you really just come to 'visit' him?" Zhao Yuan asked, putting heavy emphasis on the word "visit."

A sharp glint flashed in Lingzi's enchanting eyes, but she quickly hid it. With a flirtatious laugh, she said, "Besides visiting, I also 'comforted' him quite well. If you'd like to know how I comforted him, I could describe it to you in detail. Or, I could give you a demonstration."

Her laugh, her breathless tone, and her deeply suggestive words made Yan Ziyu, Shenyang Jia, and the Japanese Formula staff member all blush in unison and instinctively cover their crotches.

Only Zhao Yuan remained unmoved by her seduction.

From the very beginning, Zhao Yuan had sensed that Lingzi was no ordinary person. His heart was filled with vigilance, so how could he possibly be swayed by her temptations?

"Forget it. I'm not interested!" Zhao Yuan snorted. He stared at Lingzi and said, enunciating each word, "I don't care what you're plotting, and I can't be bothered with what you've done. I'll just give you one piece of advice: don't harm my friends. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it!"

"Oh?" Lingzi was still smiling, but this time her smile had turned cold, sending a chill down the spine. "And how, I wonder, are you going to make me regret it?"

Faced with her provocation, Zhao Yuan shot back without hesitation, "You want to find out?"

Lingzi's brow twitched. Her bewitching face instantly turned cold as ice. The very temperature of the hallway seemed to drop a few degrees from the aura she was emitting. A flash of killing intent appeared in her eyes, gone as quickly as it came.

'In her entire life, no one had ever dared to provoke or threaten her like this!'

In the end, however, she restrained herself. An alluring smile crept back onto her lips as she said in a faux-pout, "Oh, you're scaring me. I don't want you to bully me. Fine. Since I'm not welcome here, I'll just leave." She turned and held out a hand to Yan Ziyu and Shenyang Jia. "My phone? May I have it back now?"

"Yes, of course." Yan Ziyu hurriedly pulled Lingzi's phone from his pocket and handed it back to her.

"Did you save your numbers in my phone?" Lingzi asked.

"Well..." Yan Ziyu and Shenyang Jia exchanged a glance, both filled with regret. 'Such a golden opportunity, and we didn't take it. How stupid can we be?'

They said in a panic, "Can we give you our numbers now?"

"Never mind." Lingzi shook her head and pointed a finger at Zhao Yuan. "He wouldn't approve."

With that, she turned, walked to the elevators, and took one down.

Yan Ziyu, Shenyang Jia, and the Japanese Formula staff member all shot helpless looks at Zhao Yuan, thinking the exact same thing: 'This kid has no idea how to appreciate a beautiful woman.'

Little did they know, Zhao Yuan understood perfectly well how to treat a lady. But this Lingzi was clearly no delicate flower; she was a black widow, a beautiful viper who could take a man's life!

After Lingzi left, Zhao Yuan turned to Yan Ziyu and Shenyang Jia. "You two, where's Kawashima?"

"He's sleeping in the exam room," Yan Ziyu said, pointing inside.

Zhao Yuan peeked inside, then asked, "How's he doing?"

"Not great," said Shenyang Jia. "He still hasn't figured out an effective treatment, and he was just pacing around anxiously before. After that woman showed up, they... did their thing. He only fell asleep after they were finished."

"Thanks for your hard work tonight."

After saying goodbye to Yan Ziyu and Shenyang Jia, Zhao Yuan turned and headed back to the doctors' on-call room.

On the way, he mused to himself, 'Kawashima's Primordial Qi seems much weaker than before. Did that woman come here just to drain it from him? But why would she do that? Kawashima is in his fifties; he barely has any Primordial Qi left. Rather than draining him, it'd be much better to find a young man. What is that woman really after?'

Meanwhile, Lingzi walked out of the hospital's outpatient building.

The hospital was dead quiet in the deep of night. Aside from a few lonely streetlights, everything was shrouded in darkness.

A voice spoke up beside Lingzi. "That brat dared to threaten you. Should I eliminate him?"

"Not yet." Lingzi shook her head. She turned and gazed up at the floor Zhao Yuan was on, her voice cold. "The most important thing right now is to pry the location of the treasure out of Kawashima. As for that brat, let him live a few more days. It won't be too late to eliminate him once we've achieved our objective. No one in this world has ever dared to threaten me. He's the first. I must take something from him as a souvenir... Hmm, I think his heart will do nicely."
