Chapter 25 - Qin Yao’s Decision
“Leave, Senior Sister! Quickly leave!”
Chen Fan roared, his voice hoarse.
He had overestimated his willpower and underestimated the potency of the Heavenly Lust Deadly Desire Powder.
This aphrodisiac could even lead Yuanfu realm experts into depravity, let alone him.
He felt like a ball of fire was burning in his abdomen, growing hotter with each passing moment. Blurry images of man and woman entangled together constantly flashed in his mind.
"Quickly leave, Senior Sister! Get out of here, right now!" Chen Fan roared. He feared that if Qin Yao stayed any longer, he would succumb to his desires and end up hurting her.
"I can... I can make it! Get lost, all of you!"
Chen Fan incessantly scratched himself, leaving bloody marks all over. He gritted his teeth tightly, and they seemed close to shattering; fresh blood oozed from his gums.
Chen Fan exhaled like a bull, hot air exiting his nostrils. The blood vessels on his forehead, neck, and the back of his hands bulged, his face contorted in a savage expression. He seemed very uncomfortable and in pain.
Desperately clinging to his last shred of rationality, he refused to be defeated by his desires, roaring like a madman.
Qin Yao managed to climb up to the shore. Through her tear-blurred vision, she looked at the maniacal Chen Fan and said, "Chen Fan..."
“Leave, Senior Sister. Quickly leave, I can’t hold on any longer. Go, get lost…”
Chen Fan roared fiercely.
He rushed up to a reef and kept smashing it with his hands, bombarding it wildly without any care for himself. The blows tore his skin and cut his flesh; he began bleeding.
“Ah…!”
Chen Fan roared at the top of his lungs as he continued hitting the reef. He hoped that this method would help him regain sobriety, strengthening his resolve to maintain clarity and resist being overcome by his desires.
“Chen Fan…” Qin Yao felt like her heart was being wrung as she watched it from the shore.
She should have been the one burning in those flames of desire, but Chen Fan had taken all that pain onto himself.
He could have taken advantage of the situation and taken her innocence, absolving himself of any blame once they woke up, as he would be saving her.
Yet, Chen Fan had chosen not to do that; instead, he absorbed the drug’s effects. He had willingly accepted the suffering on her behalf to protect her innocence.
Qin Yao's gaze transformed, filled with determination now. She moved her hands, removing her torn and disheveled dress to expose her snow-white shoulders.
As her tattered dress slipped off, her exquisite figure, akin to white suet jade, was revealed, becoming the most beautiful sight in the world.
“If you can bear the flames of desire for me, then I can also descend into depravity for you…”
Qin Yao raised her head slightly and closed her eyes, crystalline tear drops rolling off from the corner of her eyes. When she reopened her eyes, her gaze had a firm resolution.
She jumped back into the stream like a spirit and walked toward Chen Fan.
“Chen Fan.”
Chen Fan turned around and was immediately stunned when he saw her figure.
“Don’t, Senior Sister, quickly leave. Don’t…” Chen Fan shook his head violently. However, his breathing grew heavier and hotter by the second.
“Chen Fan, I’m doing this willingly.”
Qin Yao didn’t leave. She had already made up her mind. If she left, then what would happen to Chen Fan?
“Come.”
Her voice echoed in his ears like a gentle whisper, and Qin Yao took the initiative to jump at him.
The last shred of rationality that Chen Fan desperately clung to crumbled instantly; desire consumed him.
A gold hairpin held her cloud-like hair, and her face radiated beauty. They spent the night under the warmth of a hibiscus canopy. [1]
In a cave, they quickly succumbed to a fiery and enchanting state.
Time passed swiftly, and several hours later, everything returned to calm. Inside the cave, Chen Fan gazed at Qin Yao, asleep in his embrace, his expression complex.
He had thought he could endure the pain of the flames of desire; ultimately, he had overestimated himself and failed.
However, it could be said that Qin Yao taking the initiative was the final straw.
“Senior Sister…”
Qin Yao’s pretty face looked calm, her breathing even. A faint blush adorned her fair complexion.
Chen Fan focused his gaze on the beauty capable of bringing cities and nations to ruin in front of him, a tender expression on his face.
Which young man remained unaffected by love, and which young girl didn't long for it?
Qin Yao possessed captivating beauty, with a tall and alluring figure, particularly her long legs that exuded a wild charm. Countless people worshiped her as their goddess in the entire outer sect.
Logically speaking, one would expect Qin Yao to have a spicy personality that matched her temperament. However, her personality was warm, kind, and gentle, lacking the expected spiciness and sassiness.
Naturally, Chen Fan did feel some adoration for Qin Yao.
However, in the past, he was considered a martial arts trash with a blocked dantian and meridians, feeling immensely inferior. Every time he saw Qin Yao, he would be at a loss for words, concealing his affection for her deep within his heart.
But now, that beauty lay in his embrace. Chen Fan wondered if this was a dream. She was the first woman in his life and his goddess.
However, despite the circumstances, Chen Fan wasn’t happy. Their relationship wasn’t one of mutual consent but rather a twist of fate that brought them to this situation.
Chen Fan sighed after a while.
Since no one could change the past, he decided to protect Qin Yao and keep her safe in the future. No one was allowed to hurt his woman!
Gently covering Qin Yao with his shirt, Chen Fan changed into a fresh set of clothes and slowly stood up, leaving the cave.
“I have actually advanced to the late stage of the fifth level after our intimate act.”
Chen Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had heard of a dual cultivation method where men and women engaged in intercourse to enhance their cultivation.
However, his cultivation breakthrough was not a result of practicing that method but rather a natural progression during their union.
“Forget it, don’t overthink this. Time to practice!”
Chen Fan shook his head and started practicing his martial skill.
Inside the cave, Qin Yao’s long eyelashes fluttered. She opened her eyes immediately, with tears rolling down her cheeks.
She gazed at the cave roof for a long time before sighing.
In the end, it still happened.
At the very least, the other party was Chen Fan, not those two people from the Mountain River Sect. Thinking of this, Qin Yao felt a sense of relief.
Slowly sitting up, she retrieved a new dress from her storage pouch and put it on before leaving the cave.
“Kiki.”
After Chen Fan had finished practicing the martial skill, the snowy-white monkey appeared out of nowhere, its lips slightly raised and its eyes shining as if it knew what had happened last night.
“Go away, damn monkey!”
Chen Fan became angry at being mocked by the monkey and sent a palm toward it.
The snowy-white monkey jumped in fright and hurriedly dodged. It straightened itself and screeched in dissatisfaction. It screeched again and quickly ran toward the cave entrance.
Chen Fan turned around and saw Qin Yao standing by the cave entrance. The snowy-white monkey had jumped into her embrace, looking at her with its cute eyes. Its lovely appearance was especially devastating.
However, what truly infuriated Chen Fan was that the monkey's paw rested on Qin Yao's chest.
Even more frustrating was the fact that Qin Yao seemed oblivious to it, holding up the snowy-white monkey with one arm and gently caressing its head with her other hand
Meanwhile, this damned lecherous monkey was enjoying the attention.
It was so infuriating!
