"No can do!" Mo Awu interrupted Xue Sha with a heavy voice. "You know Boss hates such casual conduct between men and women the most. Except for his women… he has never touched other women."
"But where are we now, mind you?" yelled Xue Sha angrily. "The aphrodisiac that can make him lose consciousness is absolutely not a joke. It will ruin him or even might kill him if we delay more."
Mo Awu fell into silence. He was never afraid to cross any line should it concern the Boss"s life. He also believed that his Boss wouldn"t blame them when he learned about it later.
Zhang Xinyue, who was next to Xue Sha, was s.h.i.+vering inside. Judging from Mo Awu and Xue Sha"s conversation, she could tell that Tang Xiu was in crisis and danger at this moment. What moved and touched her was that they didn"t even plan to make her help Tang Xiu even if she was next to them.
"What should I do?"
"Should I just do nothing and watch Tang Xiu being harmed by the poison to his death? Or should I sacrifice myself to… save him?"
"But if I were to really save him, then more than 20 years of my chast.i.ty would be… but still…"
Zhang Xinyue"s expression kept changing. Although the strong winds made her somewhat unable to open her eyes, she could clearly see Tang Xiu"s flushed face while those hands of his indiscriminately groped Mo Awu"s body.
"I"ll save him! Besides, he has saved my life, after all."
Zhang Xinyue steeled her resolve and interjected aloud, "Let"s find a place. I"ll save him."
"You?"
Both Xue Sha and Mo Awu blanked out after hearing her words as a look of incredulity covered their faces instantly. Then, the latter forced a smile and said, "Miss Zhang, you"re Zhang Xinya"s younger sister, while our Boss wishes that he could forever hide from her at present. If you were to save him, then this relations.h.i.+p…"
"It"s not like because I have feelings for him, I will save him, alright?" said Zhang Xinyue. "I just don"t want to watch him die like that without doing nothing. Besides, each step forward in the future can still be carefully considered later! But if you don"t want me to save him, then forget what I said."
Mo Awu and Xue Sha exchanged glances before the former immediately shouted in a deep voice, "Do you remember the cave we found near mountain brooks back then? Let"s go there immediately."
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Silhouettes moved lightning fast and then appeared in the mountain brooks. As those silhouettes reached the entrance of a dark cave, a wild boar resting there was alarmed. At the moment it roared, a longsword came flas.h.i.+ng to strike its neck and directly killed it.
The cave was a dozen-square-meter long and over two meters in height which was enough to accommodate 20 plus people inside. After everyone sprinted to the inside, Mo Awu pulled away Tang Xiu"s hands and gave them to Zhang Xinyue and said, "Miss Zhang, I won"t speak any words of thanks regarding this huge favour, but you will forever be our benefactor from now on as long as you can save our Boss."
Zhang Xinyue"s face was slightly blus.h.i.+ng as she grabbed and hugged Tang Xiu. She shook her head without a word before she spoke with difficulty, "You all… get out."
"We"ll be waiting outside." Mo Awu nodded and said, "We don"t know if that powerful enemy can find this place, but we guarantee that we can stop him even if he finds us."
With that said, the rest headed outside the cave in a rush and quickly dispersed behind the rocks dozens of meters away to keep an eye on the surroundings. While being vigilant, however, there was also a vague feeling of helplessness as for how to explain what happened to their Boss once he woke up.
Inside the cave.
Two flashlights with their switches on were placed in the concave of the half-meter-high mountain wall to illuminate the cave. While hugging Tang Xiu, Zhang Xinyue could feel his hot hands caressing her body indiscriminately, causing the redness on her beautiful face to become stronger like the glowing sunset.
She really didn"t fall in love with this man. She did have had an ambiguous relations.h.i.+p with two young men, but it was only during her student"s days. Later on, due to her meeting many broken-hearted women due to their relations.h.i.+ps, as well as the famed status of her older sister as a celebrity, she never had any serious boyfriend once. She had never even kissed a man until now.
"Exactly how and what should I do?"
She was s.h.i.+vering inside due to embarra.s.sment and was feeling shy, causing her to hesitate and struggle. Just as she was wavering and felt uncertain, a tearing force tore the clothes on her chest, revealing her white skin and flesh…
"Just go ahead regardless…"
Zhang Xinyue steeled her resolve and coordinated with Tang Xiu"s unconscious movements as he undressed her.
Outside the cave.
Mo Awu was standing together with Xue Sha a few tens of meters away from the cave entrance. Their eagle-like sharp eyes glanced around so that even the slightest disturbance could be sensed by them.
"Aargh…"
A painful scream was heard from the cave.
Mo Awu and Xue Sha exchanged glances with a forced, bitter smile. It was a painful scream from Zhang Xinyue; and they were perfectly aware of what the scream represented. Perhaps from this moment on, Zhang Xinyue"s chast.i.ty had been given to their Boss. As for this debt of sentiment that would plague their Boss in the future, they could only hope that he wouldn"t give them a lesson due to this reason.
"You know, I"m kinda a bit sympathizing with Boss," whispered Mo Awu with a sigh.
"Who can"t vouch for that, really?!" Xue Sha rubbed his temple and replied helplessly, "Although Zhang Xinyue is also a stunning beauty among a million women, the one who loves Boss is her older sister. He doesn"t want to receive her, yet he now has a relations.h.i.+p with her younger sister, so after this… incident… how would he face Zhang Xinya…"
"Let"s not involve ourselves in the messed up feelings between men and women, shall we?" Mo Awu shook his head and bitterly smiled, "If Boss were to punish us because of this incident, we can only correct our att.i.tude and bite all the decisions we make to save his life, regardless."
"No worries! We"re not fools either, mate."
Xue Sha took out a cigarette subconsciously, but suddenly felt that the environment and the potential crisis situation were unsuited to smoking at the moment. He immediately pinched the cigarette and discarded it at his feet.
Inside the cave.
At the beginnings, Zhang Xinyue only felt suffering from pain, followed by some joy in the middle, and lastly a mix between pain and joy. Yet, she was very scared since Tang Xiu had really fallen into a frenzy. She had been holding on while riding the waves for nearly two hours, but she couldn"t see whether Tang Xiu would stop sailing.
She wanted to push him, but she failed because she had no strength. She even shouted with a suppressed voice in Tang Xiu"s ears dozens of times already, yet it still didn"t work.
Regardless, the taste of ecstasy with that overwhelming emotion to the peak faintly made her addicted to it. She even wished it would last forever if it wasn"t the fact that she was a beginner in such skins.h.i.+p.
Roar…
A deep roar came out of Tang Xiu"s throat as his body finally stopped moving in a tremble.
Immediately after, the cave fell into stillness and tranquility for a long time.
The day fast-forwarded into the afternoon.
Tang Xiu finally woke up from his lethargic sleepiness. The instant he opened his eyes, he immediately unleashed his perception toward the outside. But the moment after he sobered up, the expression on his handsome face froze as his eyes he saw the smooth and white woman"s shoulders beside him and he even took back his spiritual sense.
"Heavens! What have I done?"
Tang Xiu"s breathing turned sharp faster because Zhang Xinyue slept next to him with a face that looked like she was in a bit of pain. Although she was still wearing clothes, many parts of it had been obviously ripped apart.
What followed was a deathly stillness. After the long silence, Tang Xiu carefully took out a thin quilt from his interspatial ring and gently covered Zhang Xinyue"s body with it. He also removed her exposed long legs that winded on his waist and took out a few more thin quilts and two sets of clothes, one of which he put next to Zhang Xinyue while he put on the other one. Afterward, he flashed and appeared outside.
Though he couldn"t see that the moment when he left the cave, two lines of glittering tears flowed out of Zhang Xinyue"s eyes.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Mo Awu, Jin s.h.i.+, Xue Sha, and Hei Xiong flashed from dozens of meters away in the distance and quickly stood in front of Tang Xiu, as Mo Awu then excitedly asked, "Are you all right, Boss?"
Tang Xiu"s expression, however, was looking somewhat gloomy. He watched the surroundings and then asked in a heavy voice, "Who among you asked Zhang Xinyue to save me?"
The four men exchanged glances as Mo Awu dryly smiled and answered, "The poison had invaded your body too deep last night, Boss. I was afraid that you"d be in danger, especially if the aphrodisiac was not solved in time."
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Tang Xiu cursed furiously and yelled, "Don"t you also know the situation between me and Zhang Xinya? Don"t tell me you don"t know Zhang Xinyue is her younger sister either? You decided to let this happen, but how can I solve this problem in the future?!"
Mo Awu forced a bitter smile and said, "We were originally planning to take you to Qinglin County and then find some brothels… but… it was Miss Zhang herself, who decided that… she must save you, so we were…"
The revelation sent a headache to Tang Xiu, making him rub his temple and glare angrily at the four men. Then he coldly snorted and said, "Hmph, just wait and see how I will punish you later!"
With that said, he turned around and returned to the cave and found that Zhang Xinyue was still sleeping soundly with the same posture as previous. He stood in silence for a few minutes and then headed to the entrance of the cave to sit cross-legged there.
The aphrodisiac in his system had disappeared at this moment, but other types of poison still were present inside. Although these poisons only had a slight effect on him, he still had to remove these poisons out of his system as soon as possible. Moreover, his internal injuries might have been a bit better after resting for a while, yet they were still quite serious regardless.
After taking the Holy Healing pill, Tang Xiu controlled the Primal Chaos Force to clean up the poisons inside his system quickly, and then slowly mended his displaced organs to their previous positions.
The nouris.h.i.+ng process and rejuvenation followed.
As he had been fully immersed in recuperation and detoxification treatment, he was unaware that Zhang Xinyue, who was inside the cave, had slowly sat up and was gently putting on Tang Xiu"s underwear and jacket beside her.
She didn"t stand up as she felt her genitalia burning with pain, causing her not to dare to move carelessly. Staying still in that posture, she watched Tang Xiu"s back through the aid of the light coming in from the outside of the cave and fell into her own train of thought in silence.
In spite of the fact that she did go ahead with her decision, she was utterly confused at this moment.
Outside the cave.
Mo Awu"s group of four came together, while Xue Sha whispered and stressed his thoughts over and over again, "Remember, guys. We bit the bullet, yet the purpose was to save our Boss, so we finally accepted Miss Zhang"s suggestion, got it?! Besides, I"m sure even if Boss punishes us, it won"t be too serious given what we know from his character and temper."
Mo Awu stroked his chin and whispered back, "Be ready to use the money we"ve previously extorted at labor camp 1319! If my guess is correct, the punishment from Boss should be months without our cultivation resource quota."
"I"m also gonna find the time to meet Chen Zhizhong once we get back," interjected Jin s.h.i.+ all of a sudden. "He"s Boss"s disciple, so it will be very easy for us to buy some precious herbs from him."
"Yeah!" The other three nodded.
