"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 Bossâs life. He also believed that his Boss wouldnât blame them when he learned about it later.
Zhang Xinyue, who was next to Xue Sha, was shivering inside. Judging from Mo Awu and Xue Shaâs conversation, she could tell that Tang Xiu was in crisis and danger at this moment. What moved and touched her was that they didnât even plan to make her help Tang Xiu even if she was next to them.
âWhat should I do?â
âShould I just do nothing and watch Tang Xiu being harmed by the poison to his death? Or should I sacrifice myself to... save him?â
âBut if I were to really save him, then more than 20 years of my chastity would be... but still...â
Zhang Xinyueâs expression kept changing. Although the strong winds made her somewhat unable to open her eyes, she could clearly see Tang Xiuâs flushed face while those hands of his indiscriminately groped Mo Awuâs body.
âIâll save him! Besides, he has saved my life, after all.â
Zhang Xinyue steeled her resolve and interjected aloud, "Letâs find a place. Iâll 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, youâre Zhang Xinyaâs younger sister, while our Boss wishes that he could forever hide from her at present. If you were to save him, then this relationship..."
"Itâs not like because I have feelings for him, I will save him, alright?" said Zhang Xinyue. "I just donât 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 donât 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? Letâs go there immediately."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
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 flashing 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 Xiuâs hands and gave them to Zhang Xinyue and said, "Miss Zhang, I wonât 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 Xinyueâs face was slightly blushing as she grabbed and hugged Tang Xiu. She shook her head without a word before she spoke with difficulty, "You all... get out."
"Weâll be waiting outside." Mo Awu nodded and said, "We donât 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 didnât fall in love with this man. She did have had an ambiguous relationship with two young men, but it was only during her studentâs days. Later on, due to her meeting many broken-hearted women due to their relationships, 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.
âExactly how and what should I do?â
She was shivering inside due to embarrassment 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...
âJust go ahead regardless...â
Zhang Xinyue steeled her resolve and coordinated with Tang Xiuâs 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 Xinyueâs chastity 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 wouldnât give them a lesson due to this reason.
"You know, Iâm kinda a bit sympathizing with Boss," whispered Mo Awu with a sigh.
"Who canât 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 doesnât want to receive her, yet he now has a relationship with her younger sister, so after this... incident... how would he face Zhang Xinya..."
"Letâs 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 attitude and bite all the decisions we make to save his life, regardless."
"No worries! Weâre 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 couldnât 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 Xiuâs ears dozens of times already, yet it still didnât 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 wasnât the fact that she was a beginner in such skinship.
Roar...
A deep roar came out of Tang Xiuâs 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 womanâs shoulders beside him and he even took back his spiritual sense.
âHeavens! What have I done?â
Tang Xiuâs 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 Xinyueâs 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 couldnât see that the moment when he left the cave, two lines of glittering tears flowed out of Zhang Xinyueâs eyes.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Mo Awu, Jin Shi, 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 Xiuâs 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 youâd be in danger, especially if the aphrodisiac was not solved in time."
"Bastard!" Tang Xiu cursed furiously and yelled, "Donât you also know the situation between me and Zhang Xinya? Donât tell me you donât 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 nourishing 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 Xiuâs underwear and jacket beside her.
She didnât 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 Xiuâs 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 Awuâs 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 Zhangâs suggestion, got it?! Besides, Iâm sure even if Boss punishes us, it wonât 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 weâve previously extorted at labor camp 1319! If my guess is correct, the punishment from Boss should be months without our cultivation resource quota."
"Iâm also gonna find the time to meet Chen Zhizhong once we get back," interjected Jin Shi all of a sudden. "Heâs Bossâs disciple, so it will be very easy for us to buy some precious herbs from him."
"Yeah!" The other three nodded.
