3: Chapter 3: Turning the palm to win a beauty, overturning the world to manipulate fate.

Lu Chen took a deep breath and walked over to Yin Susu.

“Sorry about this, I’m saving you, so don’t get the wrong idea!” Lu Chen scooped Yin Susu up in his arms.

“This feel... it’s really not bad!” Lu Chen couldn’t help but marvel in his heart the moment he held Yin Susu.

“This figure... no, no, if this enchantress wakes up and finds out... it’ll be trouble!”

“Forget it, saving her comes first! If we stay in this hellhole any longer, we’re definitely going to turn into roasted suckling pigs...”

Lu Chen shook his head and, carrying Yin Susu, ran toward the shade at the foot of the mountain as fast as the wind.

Yin Susu’s soft body pressed tightly against his chest; with every stride, Lu Chen felt an indescribable thrill.

“This feeling... something’s not right!” Lu Chen felt his body beginning to heat up.

“Stay calm! I’m just saving someone, I can’t let my mind wander!” Lu Chen tried to suppress the impulse within him.

But his body’s reaction was completely beyond his control; he felt as if he were about to become an Incarnation of a wolf.

“No, if this continues, I’m afraid something’s going to happen!” Lu Chen gritted his teeth, wanting to quicken his pace and get Yin Susu settled as soon as possible.

However, the faster he ran, the more intense the friction with Yin Susu’s body became, which instead made the impulse in his heart even stronger.

“I... I... I really can’t control myself anymore!” Lu Chen felt as if he had lost his reason, completely dominated by the desires in his heart.

“Can... can I be blamed for this? Who told her to be so tempting?” Lu Chen searched for excuses in his mind.

Fortunately, they soon reached a slightly shaded spot at the foot of the mountain; it was a nice place, with lush trees providing shade and the fragrance of flowers filling the air.

He placed Yin Susu on a cool rock, then wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath.

He was just about to go back and bring the Big Dummy down.

Unexpectedly, his makeshift beggar outfit had fallen off due to the strenuous exercise just now.

“Does it have to be such a coincidence!” Lu Chen looked at himself with an embarrassed face, feeling like a runaway horse that had completely lost all control.

He lowered his head, looking at the unconscious Yin Susu, and the demon in his heart finally triumphed over his reason.

“It’s destiny!” Lu Chen didn’t resist his falling desires in the slightest.

Time to save her!

...

...

Two hours later.

Lu Chen followed the Mind-Cultivation Technique of the Star-Sucking Great Method and funneled Internal Energy into Yin Susu’s body, which finally had some effect.

Yin Susu slowly woke up. “You... what are you doing to me?”

“You’re awake, Young Miss. It seems my Acupoint Unblocking Technique worked.”

Lu Chen had forced himself to figure out the application of Internal Energy to unblock someone’s acupoints, which was indeed mentally draining.

Yin Susu struggled, wanting to get up, only to find her body tightly bound by ropes, unable to move.

“What’s going on?” Yin Susu saw herself tied up like a Zongzi.

The discomfort emanating from her body explained everything; how could the brilliant Yin Susu not know what had just happened?

“I... what did you do to me...”

Yin Susu’s face instantly turned crimson, a sense of humiliation welling up in her heart.

“You shameless scoundrel! I’ll kill you!” Yin Susu cursed angrily, feeling as if her body were about to be consumed by the flames of her rage.

She recalled the scene before she lost consciousness—she and Brother Zhang Wu had clearly gone to the volcano to get fire when a pale white figure had descended from the sky.

After that, she knew nothing; she had woken up to find herself in this state.

“Damn you!” Yin Susu wished she could tear the freak before her into ten thousand pieces.

She mobilized the True Qi in her body, wanting to break free from the ropes, but unfortunately, her Internal Energy had been drained.

“How can this be? Where is my Internal Energy?” Yin Susu’s heart was filled with despair.

“You... you... what did you do to me?” Yin Susu asked with a trembling voice that carried a hint of a sob.

“It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! I saw you were unconscious and was just unblocking your acupoints...”

“I was doing it to save you just now!”

Lu Chen continued to lie through his teeth, as if everything he had done before was for the sake of saving her.

“Don’t go shouting now, Miss Yin. You wouldn’t want Hero Zhang the Fifth to know what happened, would you?”

Lu Chen’s tone carried a hint of a threat; he felt that he truly was a shameless scoundrel.

“Besides, if I don’t go up and save him, he might lose his life,” Lu Chen added.

“You... who are you? How do you know my surname is Yin?”

Yin Susu looked at the freak before her, her heart filled with doubt and wariness.

“I know a lot of things!” Lu Chen smiled triumphantly.

“I suggest you calm down. There’s still a great enemy of yours on this Mystic Ice Island!”

“You blinded Xie Xun; won’t he come looking for revenge?”

“Furthermore, Hero Zhang the Fifth’s life is still in my hands! You’d better think carefully before making a decision, and don’t say anything reckless!” Lu Chen threatened.

Having said that, Lu Chen gave Yin Susu’s face a pinch. “I’m going to save Hero Zhang the Fifth. If you dare to do anything foolish, I’ll cripple him immediately!”}],
