Chapter 649 — A Drugged Qiu Lingshan
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
This was the last shred of independent will left in Qiu Lingshan's mind. The next moment, the desire within her burst its banks like a flood, crashing through her whole body in one roar, and she could no longer govern her body or her words with her mind...
"Ah!" Qiu Lingshan cried out, her hands tearing at her clothes with all her strength, her legs pressed tightly together as though trying to release something. But she was clumsy; this was the first time she had tried to relieve the desire in her own body, and she could not find the way, could not hit the mark—she could only tear at her clothes more frantically. She was going mad!
When Wei Zhao entered, he saw Qiu Lingshan on the ground at a glance—but her condition was strange, as though she were having an epileptic fit, writhing this way and that on the floor? What was she doing?
Wei Zhao sniffed the air of the dungeon and caught a whiff of something unusual! An aphrodisiac—the air of the dungeon was filled with a very common aphrodisiac. Tang Zhi had once been dosed with this very same drug.
Catching that scent, Wei Zhao instinctively held his breath. He had no wish to end up like Qiu Lingshan!
A Profound-rank adept was stronger than a Yellow-rank one not merely in the increase of strength, but in that a Profound-rank adept had learned the art of tortoise breathing! So-called tortoise breathing meant regulating one's breath like a turtle—neither eating nor drinking, yet able to live long. A turtle breathes very slowly in its sleep; of course Wei Zhao could not truly be like a turtle, but slowing his breathing was well within his power!
Breathing this way, Wei Zhao could avoid inhaling an excessive dose of the aphrodisiac; even if he took in a small amount, it could be entirely disregarded. But Wei Zhao could use tortoise breathing—Qiu Lingshan could not!
"You've been dosed with an aphrodisiac..." Wei Zhao walked up to Qiu Lingshan, and before he could finish speaking, she had thrown her arms around him, then frantically clambered up his body and locked her arms around his neck! In that moment Qiu Lingshan's mid Yellow-rank skill was displayed to the fullest—her whole body was utterly light and nimble!
Otherwise, such an acrobatic feat was not something an ordinary person could have managed!
"Help me... I can't take it anymore, it's so awful..." Qiu Lingshan's eyes were half-closed, her lips mumbling incoherently, and she leaned over to kiss Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao frowned, never having expected Qiu Lingshan's reaction to be so fierce. This particular aphrodisiac was not among the most potent, but its effects varied from person to person—some who fell under it might remain perfectly composed. Although Tang Zhi had shown some reaction as well, it was nowhere near this severe!
"Stop writhing around!" Wei Zhao frowned, prying Qiu Lingshan's hand away in an attempt to shove her off his body. But no sooner had he freed one hand than the other seized him again, leaving Wei Zhao thoroughly exasperated.
Qiu Lingshan was dying of shame. Though her body was beyond her control, her mind was perfectly clear! Yet everything she was doing had nothing to do with conscious thought—it was driven entirely by raw instinct!
