Chapter 1626: Chapter 1639: Terrifying Side Effects

"Huh?" Lei Xiaojiao leaned over in confusion, only to see a trace of ice crystal floating up from under the water. As if triggering a chain reaction, more and more ice chips appeared in the water. Crack—there was a sudden crisp shattering sound; turned out the glass teacup couldn’t withstand the sharply dropping temperature and was forcibly split open by the water expanding as it froze.

"Oh my god, are you doing magic?" Lei Xiaojiao covered her mouth in astonishment.

"If only that were the case." 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

Lin Mu’s face kept shifting, and after a long while he muttered to himself, "This time, I’m afraid things are going to get troublesome."

He hadn’t lifted a finger, yet the clear water in the cup had frozen into ice. This was clearly the aftereffect of using the "Vajra White Qi" starting to erupt. Without time to think, Lin Mu hurriedly got up, intending to leave the apartment. God knows how powerful this damned aftereffect would get—if it came out with an ’Icebound Thousand Miles’, no, not even a thousand miles, just a single mile, no one in this building would be able to survive.

Lin Mu remembered all too clearly how terrifying the scene had been the first time the Vajra White Qi’s aftereffect erupted. Because his internal organs had been damaged by Yulin Xiu Fu, and his back had been pierced by Lone Wolf, the traitor of Wolf Fang, when Elder Lin first saw Lin Mu, he had already judged him beyond saving, practically doomed to die!

But Elder Lin, desperate to save his grandson, didn’t hesitate to pour in all the Essence Energy he’d accumulated over his lifetime, injecting every bit of it into Lin Mu’s body. On top of that, Lin Mu had previously absorbed Hatanaka Tairou’s Pure Yin Qi. Under the combined effect of these two kinds of Essence Energy, they forcibly dragged Lin Mu back from hell. But after that battle, Lin Mu’s Vajra White Qi started leaving aftereffects!

What was even more terrifying was that these aftereffects always came without the slightest warning, just like tonight—no premonition whatsoever, they just appeared! And this aftereffect was like being torn between ice and fire: sometimes he burned abnormally hot, sometimes he was chilled to the bone...

He remembered when his serious injuries hadn’t yet healed, the aftereffect had erupted once. The scene was extremely horrifying. In the place where he and Elder Lin were staying, the temperature suddenly plunged to minus twenty degrees, freezing Elder Lin’s old bones stiff, and then it abruptly turned scorching hot, igniting the furniture and the house. Elder Lin, who had just recovered, had almost turned into roast suckling pig...

"Lin Mu, what on earth is going on? Don’t scare me."

Lei Xiaojiao panicked and instinctively chased after him.

"Don’t touch me." Lin Mu’s face changed drastically as he hurriedly spoke, but he was a beat too late.

Lei Xiaojiao had already grabbed his arm.

A layer of pale white frost suddenly condensed at the cuff of Lei Xiaojiao’s pink loungewear, then rapidly spread. In less than two breaths, her entire outfit was covered in cold frost.

"What’s happening?"

Lei Xiaojiao cried out in shock and instinctively stepped back. That step did her in. Her thin clothes, frozen into a ’shell’ and long since lost all pliability, couldn’t withstand such external force, and shattered on the spot into countless pieces, rustling down along Lei Xiaojiao’s snow-white, smooth skin. Even her underwear was no exception.

"Gulp, gulp..."

Lin Mu swallowed hard. Only now did he realize women’s clothes were basically extremely deceptive props. At least, when Lei Xiaojiao returned to her natural state, the figure she revealed was a thousand times hotter and sexier than usual.

"This... seems a lot bigger than the other day..."

That shameless mumble made Lei Xiaojiao’s pretty face flush scarlet; she almost fainted. She hurriedly covered her chest and crouched down, screaming in panic, "Pervert, turn around!"

"Oh!" Lin Mu scratched his head on reflex and turned around, but his elbow happened to bump the switch on the wall. Crack—the frozen switch shattered, exposing the metal contacts inside. A cold blue arc suddenly shot out, fizzing. The light blinked rapidly twice, then the small living room was abruptly plunged into darkness.

Lin Mu, unexpectedly shocked by the electricity, shuddered several times. His legs went weak and he fell to the floor.

The clouds parted, and a streak of cold moonlight spilled into the living room through the window.

Lin Mu shook his head, suddenly feeling something, and lowered his eyes. He saw that the floor under his hand showed no change at all. He lifted his arm and tentatively touched a few other things; still the same.

"Could it be that an electric shock can suppress the eruption of the aftereffect?"

"Lin Mu, are you okay?" Lei Xiaojiao’s voice came from the darkness.

Lin Mu shook his head and was about to speak when a night breeze blew in through the open window. The gauze curtain lifted, a corner flipping up. The moonlight that had only been shining onto the sofa extended a bit further, landing squarely on him.

"I knew it... it wasn’t going to be that simple."

Lin Mu turned his head and looked at Lei Xiaojiao with a wry smile.

"Hm?" Lei Xiaojiao’s expression changed. A woman’s natural intuition made a very bad premonition surge up inside her. Just as she was about to flee this place of trouble, a figure had already pounced over, pressing her heavily beneath him.

"Lin Mu, are you crazy... mmph, no, don’t..."

Lei Xiaojiao was both shocked and furious, struggling with all her might. Yes, she liked Lin Mu, but that didn’t mean she was willing to sleep with him. Lei Xiaojiao was very conservative. The family education she’d received since childhood meant she wasn’t as wild and casual as other girls.

She stubbornly clung to one belief—that she would save her precious first time for a romantic wedding night.

Unfortunately, Lin Mu had no idea what Lei Xiaojiao was thinking. In fact, even if he did, in this situation there was simply no way he could stop. That terrifying sense of desire, amplified a thousand times over, had already completely taken control of his body; his rational mind at this moment was fragile as glass.

"Mm!"

A sharp surge of pain shot through her. Lei Xiaojiao’s face went blank; she stared wide-eyed in a daze as tears poured down uncontrollably.

That night was unbearably, frighteningly long for Lei Xiaojiao.

Lin Mu’s boundless stamina terrified her. For a full three hours he didn’t stop for even a moment. Lei Xiaojiao bit through her lip and cried herself dry. When she finally endured until it was over, she could no longer fight the exhaustion and drifted into a dazed sleep.

When Lin Mu opened his eyes, the sun was already slanting to the west.

He moved his arm, and a smooth, wonderful sensation came from beneath his hand. His expression froze. Turning his head, he saw Lei Xiaojiao curled up beside him like a little kitten. Her lips were crusted with traces of blood; her pale, pretty face was still streaked with tear marks.

"I’m screwed this time." Thinking of last night’s madness, Lin Mu tasted nothing but bitterness in his mouth.

Explain? How was he supposed to explain this? Tell Lei Xiaojiao that he’d been tricked by the damned aftereffect of the Vajra White Qi and that’s why he’d done something worse than a Beast? Even if she believed him—which she probably wouldn’t—she’d never forgive him.
