“There’s a lake.” After entering the s.h.i.+eld, what appeared before Zhou Donghuang’s eyes was a clear lake and two huge trees on the sh.o.r.e.

“Hmm?” Soon, his attention landed on a figure sitting cross-legged on one end of the lake. This was a young lady, roughly twenty years of age, in a light green gown. With her long, flowing hair and beautiful eyes, a high nose and ruby-red lips, she was beautiful. Yet, her features revealed an ice-cold aura.

“Poisoned?” Zhou Donghuang realized that beneath the lady’s pale skin, a faint red glow came and went. The red glow began to flash increasingly rapidly.

Just as he stepped towards the lady, she opened her eyes suddenly. Her pretty eyes were like two polished gems, drawing Zhou Donghuang’s gaze. Her sparkling eyes really accentuated the lady’s beauty. Be it her charisma or her features, she was far more attractive than any lady Zhou Donghuang had ever seen.

But soon, her perfect eyes began to flash with a red glow. As she stared at him, the atmosphere suddenly became gentle yet ambiguous.

“Leave!!” the lady opened her mouth with some difficulty and growled from the bottom of her throat. The red glow in her eyes disappeared momentarily as if they returned to flawless jewels in that moment. At the same time, her gaze revealed her anxiety and worry.

Not long ago, Luo Qinghan had made a promise to herself to continue fighting the poison, and if she really could not suppress the power of the Yin-Yang elixir, she would release the contained primal essence herself. The power released from that would not only incinerate her body, but also the area contained within this s.h.i.+eld. But she did not expect a teenager to suddenly appear in the grave that she had dug for herself.

Hadn’t she set up a s.h.i.+eld? How did this young man get in?

But now, she had no time to explain anything to the young man; she just wanted him to stay clear of the area.

“Wah—!” The ma.s.sive sound wave that the lady emitted caused Zhou Donghuang’s eardrums to burst and blood began to pour from his ears. It also shook his organs, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood.

“She’s a primal core stage adept!” Zhou Donghuang’s eyes narrowed. He had never expected that the lady who looked just twenty years of age would be a primal core stage adept. In the climate of Ziyun planet, it was impossible to reach the primal core stage at such a young age.

Hence, there was only one possibility: this lady came from beyond Ziyun planet.

“What poison are you infected with? I may be able to help you.” Although the lady’s voice had injured him, Zhou Donghuang could see determination and reluctance in her eyes; he could easily tell that she had her unspoken difficulties.

Seeing that the young man had no intention to leave, Luo Qinghan was about to attack him, but before she could use the Yuan in her body’s contained primal essence, she realized: the Yin-Yang elixir in her body had become even more aggressive when she had lost focus and had spread to the rest of her body, causing her to lose consciousness.

Whoos.h.!.+

Just as Luo Qinghan lost consciousness and wobbled, Zhou Donghuang flew out and caught her before she fell. The Yang energy caused the Yin-Yang elixir in her body to become even more powerful, causing her consciousness to sway.

“Leave… Leave!!” Luo Qinghan bit her tongue and in the momentary consciousness, she screamed at the young man supporting her.

“Were you poisoned by the Yin-Yang elixir?” Then, Zhou Donghuang finally confirmed the poison that she had been infected with. Strictly speaking, it was not a poison, but an extremely aggressive medicine called “Yin-Yang elixir” that was tasteless and colorless.

Unless an adept had undergone the divine transformation, they would be fooled by this elixir. The simplest way to treat this poison was to perform the most primitive Yin-Yang mixing.

Besides that, Zhou Donghuang had another way to treat this Yin-Yang elixir.

“Please hang in there… give me an hour, I’ll force the poison out of your body!”

Just as he was about to treat the lady using a qi ma.s.sage, the lady’s charming eyes landed on Zhou Donghuang. Her pale skin began to flash red again.

In the next instant, Zhou Donghuang felt a huge force attack him and push him down. He wanted to fight it, but the lady was much stronger than him. He was simply powerless.

In his previous life, he had looked down on adepts of the primal core stage. But now, he was nothing compared to them.

“Oh no! She has already been completely controlled by the Yin-Yang elixir!” Seeing the lady suddenly seem to transform into a crazed demon girl, rush towards him and use her Yuan power to control him, Zhou Donghuang was shocked.

“Wake up, I can treat you using other methods!”

“Stop… Stop… Stop it!”

…

Soon, an hour had pa.s.sed.

The lady sat on the edge of the lake, her clothes in a mess. She looked at the red roses scattered across the ground, then at the young man sitting cross-legged and practicing a distance away.

“I shouldn’t have cared about him just now!” muttered Luo Qinghan. As she thought of how she had met the young man, her eyes filled with regret. She had planned to release the primal essence just now, but because the young man had barged in, she had momentarily been distracted as she had not wished to harm any innocents.

It was in that moment that the Yin-Yang elixir took full control of her.

What happened after was a mess to her. She could only remember parts of it… with the scene that lay before her, she could easily guess what had happened.

Her eyes flashed as she raised her hand, the primal essence appearing in her hands. She could easily end the young man with just a single stroke.

But eventually, she put her hand down.

Forget it… at the end of the day, this has nothing to do with him. In fact, he is the victim here. Perhaps it was fate that brought him here to detoxify the Yin-Yang elixir poison, so that I would not have to release the primal essence to end myself. Since the heavens do not want me to die yet, I should return to Tianxuan planet and sort out that evil lady!

Luo Qinghan’s eyes flashed coldly. She rose to the skies and soon disappeared behind the clouds.

Luo Qinghan was the second lady of the Luo family of Tianxuan planet and was the precious daughter of the Luo family. She was immensely talented and widely recognized as the most powerful among the younger generation of the Luo family, even trumping her elder brother. At just twenty years of age, she had already entered yuan-tier, being the youngest Yuan adept in the Luo family history.

A few days ago, her good friend had asked her out for a meal. She never would have expected her friend to put the Yin-Yang elixir in the food… later, after the elixir had taken effect, she saw the man who had chased her for a long time but had been repeatedly rejected by her. The man wanted to take advantage of her.

She had suppressed the poison and escaped, using all the spirit stones on her to produce an invisible s.h.i.+eld around her that allowed her to escape to the nearest galaxy teleporter.

“Teleport anywhere!” To prevent leaving any trace, she had chosen to allow the teleporter to send her to any galaxy and any planet within the galaxy. Then, she had been teleported to Ziyun planet and appeared near the Chu royal city. She had set foot in the Lost Forest and taken over the two golden-crowned eagles’ territory; then she set up her s.h.i.+eld as she tried to detoxify the poison.

Yet, the Yin-Yang elixir was too strong, and seeing that it was hopeless, she had thought of releasing her primal essence to keep her innocence. She would rather die than allow anyone to taint her purity.

But she did not expect that just as she was about to release the primal essence, a young man would barge in and momentarily distract her from the thought. In that moment, something unimaginable had happened between her and the young man.

“Zhou Donghuang.” A while ago, as she had tumbled with the young man, she had found out his name. Of course, she had no intention to have any further connection with this man in her life.

…

By the time the young man risen from his practice, the sun was setting, filling the skies with a crimson red. Even the fog from the s.h.i.+eld could not block the red sky from s.h.i.+ning through.

“She’s… gone?” Looking around him, Zhou Donghuang did not see any trace of the lady. As the fog started to fade around him, Zhou Donghuang knew that the lady had left without a word.

“Tianxuan planet, Luo Qinghan.” That was all he knew about the lady: her name and where she came from. Just as he had expected, she was not from Ziyun planet.

“Looks like it was the first time for both of us…” laughed Zhou Donghuang as he looked at the bloodstains on the ground around him. He never would have dreamt that after so long, he would lose his virginity in such a situation and at such a place.
