Chapter 649 — The Poisoned Qiu Lingshan
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
That was the last shred of will left in Qiu Lingshan's mind. The next instant, desire burst through her like a breached dam, flooding her whole body with a roar, and she could no longer rule her body or her speech with her brain...
"Ah!" Qiu Lingshan cried out, tearing hard at her clothes with both hands, her legs pressed tight together, as if trying to vent something. But she was clumsy, seeking for the first time to release the desire in her body by herself, yet finding no way and no relief, so she only tore at her clothes more frantically. She was going mad.
As Wei Zhao entered, he spotted Qiu Lingshan on the ground at a glance, but her condition looked strange, as if she were having an epileptic fit, writhing about on the floor. What was she doing?
Wei Zhao sniffed the air of the dungeon and caught something unusual. An aphrodisiac. A very common aphrodisiac hung thick in the air of the cell, the same kind Tang Yun had once fallen victim to.
At that scent, Wei Zhao held his breath on instinct. He had no wish to end up like Qiu Lingshan.
A Mystic-rank adept surpassed a Yellow-rank adept in more than mere power. A Mystic-rank adept had learned to use the art of turtle-breathing. So-called turtle-breathing meant to regulate the breath like a tortoise, to live long without drink or food. When a tortoise slept, its breathing grew very slow. Of course Wei Zhao could not truly become a tortoise, but he could slow his breathing.
Breathing like this, Wei Zhao could avoid inhaling too much of the aphrodisiac, and even the small amount he did take in could be wholly ignored. But while Wei Zhao could use turtle-breathing, Qiu Lingshan could not.
"You have been drugged with an aphrodisiac..." Wei Zhao walked up to Qiu Lingshan, but before he could finish, she threw her arms around him, clambering wildly onto his body and locking her arms about his neck. In that moment the agility of a mid Yellow-rank adept burst forth from her to the fullest, her whole frame impossibly light and nimble.
Otherwise such a difficult maneuver was beyond any ordinary person.
"Help me... I cannot stand it. It hurts so much..." With eyes half closed, Qiu Lingshan mumbled incoherently and leaned in to kiss Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao frowned. He had not expected Qiu Lingshan to react so violently. This aphrodisiac was not the fiercest kind, but its effects varied from person to person. Some who took it might remain calm and mild. Tang Yun had reacted too, but never so gravely as this.
"Stop struggling!" Wei Zhao frowned, prying Qiu Lingshan's hands loose and trying to push her off him, but no sooner had he freed one hand than the other clutched at him again, leaving him deeply exasperated.
Qiu Lingshan was dying of shame. Though her body was beyond control, her mind was perfectly clear. Yet what she did was not thought through by her brain at all, but driven wholly by instinct.
