Chapter 542: The Deadly Wine Glass

Chapter 542: Chapter 542: The Deadly Wine Glass

And this woman, so precious and pure, was right in front of Cheng Yuan!

And she was hugging him tightly.

Only two layers of clothing separated them.

Cheng Yuan was absolutely certain that if he just got rid of these two pieces of fabric, he could have his way with the Divine Beast White Tiger—a prize coveted even by emperors!

Cheng Yuan’s breathing grew ragged.

However, Cheng Yuan was a doctor!

And He Zhixuan was now Cheng Yuan’s patient!

No matter how alluring the patient, as a doctor, Cheng Yuan had to ignore it.

Cheng Yuan silently recited the Purifying Heart Spell, trying desperately to calm himself.

He then placed a hand on He Zhixuan’s chest and poured in his Celestial Witch True Essence, attempting to use it to force the poison out of her body.

Unfortunately, the poison had already penetrated deep into her cells. Even the Celestial Witch True Essence was powerless against it.

It even had the opposite effect!

This was like poking a hornet’s nest.

Under the influence of the poison, He Zhixuan was incredibly sensitive!

Her advances grew ten times more aggressive.

She launched an even fiercer assault on his senses.

Even through two layers of clothing, Cheng Yuan was finding it hard to resist.

Under He Zhixuan’s relentless assault, Cheng Yuan’s willpower began to crumble, and the flow of his Celestial Witch True Essence dwindled.

Finally, it stopped completely.

Cheng Yuan was in a daze, his thoughts running wild with temptation.

Cheng Yuan subconsciously reached for He Zhixuan’s belt. With a simple squeeze, all of her secrets would be laid bare before him.

’Then again, she already has no secrets from me.’

Finally, Cheng Yuan touched He Zhixuan’s belt and gave it a gentle squeeze.

CLICK.

He Zhixuan’s belt came undone, revealing a pair of conservative panties underneath.

Seeming to sense that the restraint was gone, He Zhixuan tugged forcefully at the belt.

But her mind was too hazy, and she fumbled for a long moment without success.

Extremely frustrated, He Zhixuan grabbed Cheng Yuan’s hand and pulled it toward her belt, trying to use his strength.

Her mind was too clouded, and her aim was poor.

She missed the belt entirely, pressing his hand against her lower abdomen instead.

The poison was too potent!

He Zhixuan’s temperature had already surpassed forty degrees Celsius.

Cheng Yuan’s hand was burned by the heat!

He snatched it back as if he had received an electric shock.

The shock finally brought Cheng Yuan’s wandering mind back to its senses.

’Damn!’

’This woman is a complete siren!’

’My willpower is so strong, yet I almost succumbed!’

’If it weren’t for her fever, I might not have snapped out of it at all!’

’By the time I did snap out of it, things might have already... run their course.’

Cheng Yuan didn’t dare to use a gentler method on He Zhixuan anymore.

PFT! PFT! PFT! PFT! PFT!

Cheng Yuan swiftly stuck over a dozen Silver Needles into He Zhixuan, sealing her pressure points. She lost all her strength and lay limply on the large bed.

Cheng Yuan let out a sigh of relief. ’The woman is a reincarnation of Su Daji. I almost lost control.’

’That was close!’

Cheng Yuan activated his Double Pupil again. Without He Zhixuan’s interference, he was able to successfully see inside her body this time.

Cheng Yuan quickly discovered the problem!

’What a vicious poison!’

’If she can’t release this poison through... normal physiological means, she’ll probably suffer irreversible damage!’

’There’s a high chance she could become infertile!’

If a young woman were to lose her ability to have children, it would be a terrible disaster!

Cheng Yuan naturally wouldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

’The best solution right now is for me to help her... the way a husband and wife would.’

But he already had more than enough romantic entanglements. He didn’t want to get involved with He Zhixuan.

’What should I do?’

Cheng Yuan looked around and saw a fruit platter.

An idea struck Cheng Yuan. He brought the fruit platter over and placed it before He Zhixuan.

’It’s up to Zhixuan herself now!’

’I hope she can figure it out.’

’I’m out of options, anyway.’

Cheng Yuan helped He Zhixuan remove her clothes and then took out the Silver Needles.

While she had yet to regain her mobility, Cheng Yuan rushed out of the inner room and finally let out a small sigh of relief.

Cheng Yuan cast a complicated glance at He Zhixuan on the bed, then firmly shut the door.

’I hope she finds the cucumber on the fruit platter.’

’But I can’t leave until she’s fully conscious.’

Cheng Yuan strode over to the European-style sofa and threw himself onto it.

Honestly, those few minutes dealing with He Zhixuan had been more exhausting than an actual fight.

Cheng Yuan would rather face a Half-Step Martial Saint than a vixen like He Zhixuan!

After a full thirty seconds of rest, Cheng Yuan finally recovered his composure. He slowly sat up, his eyes fixed on the bottles of red wine on the table.

’This is some good wine.’

’Would be a shame not to drink it.’

Cheng Yuan grabbed a bottle of red wine, inspected it carefully, and confirmed there was nothing wrong with it.

Then, Cheng Yuan casually grabbed a glass. As fate would have it, it happened to be the very one He Zhixuan had used earlier...

Cheng Yuan had already checked the wine and never considered the glass might be the problem. He filled it to the brim.

GLUG!

GLUG!

Cheng Yuan downed the glass of red wine in one go.

The fire that had risen in his throat was finally, barely, suppressed.

He downed several more glasses, stopping only when he began to feel a slight buzz.

Cheng Yuan set down the glass and gently shook his dizzy head. He leaned back against the luxurious European sofa, closing his eyes to rest.

He didn’t know why...

...but he felt his body getting hotter and hotter.

Beads of sweat even began to form on his forehead.

Cheng Yuan tried to circulate his Celestial Witch True Essence to cool down. However, while things had been manageable before, circulating his True Essence only made the poison spread faster!

He felt like he was going to die from the heat!

The image of Lin Ruoxi surfaced uncontrollably in his mind.

「In the inner room.」

He Zhixuan was in such agony she felt she was going mad, having already scratched several long, red marks onto her own skin.

Was it because He Zhixuan didn’t recognize the "prop"?

Or didn’t know how to use it?

Well, He Zhixuan indeed didn’t recognize the "prop."

But she might not have direct experience, but she wasn’t completely naive.

With a little thought, she could have figured out how to use the "prop."

Unfortunately, she was in too much agony and kept thrashing about.

The "prop" had long since been kicked under the bed.

He Zhixuan had only one obsession.

’A man!’

’She needed a man!’

A memory suddenly surfaced in He Zhixuan’s mind!

’My junior just left the room!’

’I have to find him!’

He Zhixuan staggered out of the inner room and saw Cheng Yuan lying on the sofa.

He Zhixuan’s eyes lit up. Her body was instantly filled with a new surge of strength, and she rushed toward Cheng Yuan!

Cheng Yuan heard footsteps and slowly opened his eyes. In his delirious state, he thought he saw Lin Ruoxi lunging at him!

Faced with "his own wife," Cheng Yuan naturally wouldn’t hold back.

Cheng Yuan threw his arms around "Lin Ruoxi," pressing her down hard onto the sofa!
