Black Myth: Starting from the Destined One

Chapter 28: Chapter 26 Antidote Chapter 28: Chapter 26 Antidote The Second-in-command nonchalantly pulled out a bottle of Indecent Immovable from his sleeve, raised it high, and boasted to everyone:

“This medicine was not easy for me to get, we’ll continue to administer it to your master next time!”

“Give it to Laozi! That will keep you from harming others in the future!”

Li Ping’an snatched it from the Second-in-command with one hand, but he was thinking, according to the Second-in-command’s description of the medicine, Zixia hadn’t drunk any, nor had she bathed in water containing Indecent Immovable, how could she have been affected?

Only then did Li Ping’an suddenly remember that when Zixia had slapped him just before, her palm was wet, it seemed that she had been poisoned when testing the water temperature with her hand!

At that moment, his teeth-clenching voice was clearly audible, as he continued to suppress the three-thousand zhang nameless rage, he asked word by word:

“Second-in-command! I! Ask! You! Where! Is! The! Antidote!”

“Hahaha! Antidote?”

The Second-in-command’s hand swept around all the people and shamelessly said:

“Gang Leader, are you really stupid or just pretending? The antidote is us.”

“Us? What do you mean exactly?”

Li Ping’an was on the verge of exploding, his eyes red, veins bulging, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The Third-in-command, although visually impaired, also felt the intense anger about to burst forth from Li Ping’an and hurriedly explained:

“Gang Leader, the antidote is simply a man. If someone poisoned by Indecent Immovable doesn’t engage in that sort of act with a man when the drug’s effects flare up, your master might not withstand the fierce effects of the drug. At that time, her blood could flow backward, her meridians could reverse, and she might even become paralyzed…”

“Hahaha, why panic? Aren’t we here? Come on, beautiful!”

Filled only with the desire to hastily engage in such acts with Zixia, the Second-in-command, who still hadn’t felt Li Ping’an’s full rage, actually dared to reach out to embrace her.

“Dare to touch my woman? Go to hell!”

Unable to tolerate it any longer, Li Ping’an kicked the Second-in-command in the stomach, sending him flying three meters away, then carried Zixia back to her room.

“Second-in-command, just you wait! See how I deal with you tomorrow! Third-in-command, have your men watch Cen Zhen and Cen Changqing closely, don’t let them escape! Otherwise, I’ll hold you accountable!”

“Damn it, hogging it all again!”

The resentful Second-in-command was helped up by the Third-in-command and others:

“So frustrated. If we can’t play with Zixia, why not with Cen Zhen and Cen Changqing’s wives and daughters? Let’s go!”

…

Back in Zixia’s room, Li Ping’an carefully placed her on the bed, then secured the door, and repeatedly apologized to the unconscious Zixia:

“Master, I’m so sorry. Who could have thought these bandits would be so shameless? They are truly a bunch of despicable villains. Your disciple is a step too late…”

As Li Ping’an apologized, he recalled the scene inside the broken temple on that wild mountain night when Zixia stripped off her clothes, wearing only a belly-band to seduce him.

“Master, I…”

Li Ping’an licked his lips, rubbed his hands, and moved closer to Zixia. The more he watched her quietly lying there, the more he liked her, and though his mouth said sorry, his body was very honest, and he couldn’t help but kiss her.

That one kiss set Li Ping’an on fire. Having never touched a woman before, he only then realized how sweet a woman’s lips could taste.

The scent of her body, lips, and tongue were intoxicatingly different—truly a taste that left him wanting more.

At this moment, alone with a woman, tinder meets fire, sharing a room, and after that kiss, his hands uncontrollably began to unfasten Zixia’s clothes.

“No!”

With a slap, Li Ping’an smacked himself, shaking his head frantically and muttering:

“Although I, Li Ping’an, am lustful, sleazy, and shameless, I’m also a graduate of nine years of compulsory education, a blooming flower of our nation! I can’t take advantage of someone’s vulnerability. Otherwise, what’s the difference between me and those bandits!”

After spending some time together these past days, Li Ping’an had indeed fallen for his master, who appeared cold and proud on the outside but was passionate and kind-hearted inside. However, he couldn’t bring himself to take advantage of someone unconscious.

If he did, that would be a matter of poor character!

One’s personality might be lustful, sleazy, and shameless, but one’s character must have a limit!

These were the principles and bottom line of how Li Ping’an conducted himself and his affairs!

After a fierce internal struggle, his rational mind finally overcame his physical desires. He prepared to pour Zixia a cup of hot tea, hoping she would wake up quickly and think of a way to expel the poison of ‘Indecent Immovable’.

But just as he turned to pour the tea for Zixia, he felt his back touch something soft, followed immediately by a warm, mushy body enveloping him.

“Hmm?”

As he turned around, he saw Zixia giving him a seductive look, her cheeks flushed like peach blossoms, clearly flirting and seeking affection.

“Master… you’ve woken up…”

“Shh!”

Zixia grabbed Li Ping’an’s shoulders, turned him around, and placed her finger on his lips, coy as a bashful flower, enticing as the crescent moon, and said urgently:

“Don’t talk, just hold me tight!”

“Master… you’ve been poisoned by ‘Indecent Immovable’… Maybe we should think of a way to detoxify you first… We can talk about other things… later…”

Before Li Ping’an could finish his sentence, Zixia had wrestled him down and they merged into one.

The moonlight drenched the night, fireflies gathered from everywhere, and butterflies fluttered back and forth; the night was dreamlike, ambiguously real and surreal.

Eventually, when the two of them grew tired and ceased their poetic exchanges, they rested.

Late at night, under a dense moonlight, in the room of Cen Zhen and Cen Changqing.

Surprisingly, Cen Zhen and Cen Changqing did not sleep in the same room as his wife, but stayed with Protector Wang instead.

“Master, the gang leader of the Axe Guild, Supreme Treasure, who is also that Li Ping’an, and his master seem to have become suspicious of us. They’ve been staring at us deliberately and unintentionally during breakfast…”

Protector Wang knelt in front of Cen Zhen and Cen Changqing, worriedly said.

“What’s there to panic about? Those bandits at Wuxing Mountain are just a bunch of fools, a mob of incompetents. As for Li Ping’an and Zixia, they are just kids who are wet behind the ears!”

Seated on the bed, Cen Zhen and Cen Changqing angrily turned to look in the direction of Li Ping’an’s room:

“These young kids, along with that bunch of fools, insist on proclaiming that there are six Demon Monsters on Five Fingers Peak! Damn it, they’re delaying my trip to the capital!”

“Master, why don’t we take advantage of these fools resting and quietly make our escape? The night is fading; it’s the best time to act.”

Protector Wang stood up and suggested.

“I was planning the same, let’s go now!”

Cen Zhen and Cen Changqing picked up their chest to leave, but as soon as they opened the door, they saw three henchmen gambling nearby, their gazes occasionally drifting this way.

“Trouble! We’re being watched! Even if we can escape now, we’d probably be caught soon after we leave!”

Cen Zhen and Cen Changqing immediately retreated back into the room and shut the door.
