33: Master... Junior Brother, I'm here to save you.

*Burp...*

Qin Feng let out a long burp, one thick with the rich aroma of medicinal herbs.

He felt as if his entire being was about to catch fire.

The medicinal power of that bowl of "ten-complete great tonic soup" was simply too overbearing!

The essence of countless top-tier yang-type Spirit Medicines rampaged through his body like wild horses, frantically scouring his Meridians and Dantian.

The Dragon-Elephant Power within him reached a complete boil under the stimulation of this terrifying medicinal energy!

His skin turned bright red, like a glowing branding iron.

His eyes also turned crimson, as if two clusters of flames were burning within them.

"Junior... Junior Brother?"

Ye Nianxin, standing nearby, was startled by his appearance.

She could clearly feel that the Qi and blood in Qin Feng's body had reached an incredibly terrifying level of vigor!

It was as if he might explode and die at any moment from being unable to withstand this power!

"I'm... I'm fine!"

Qin Feng gritted his teeth, forcing these words out from between them.

He felt his rationality being devoured bit by bit by that violent medicinal power.

Right now, he just wanted to find a place to properly "vent"!

And before him stood two excellent targets for "venting"!

His gaze uncontrollably fell upon Zhao Muxue and Ye Nianxin.

Under his beast-like gaze, both Zhao Muxue and Ye Nianxin's bodies stiffened slightly.

Ye Nianxin felt bashful and afraid.

Zhao Muxue, however, felt a mix of shame, anger, and... a hint of excitement.

This was exactly the effect she wanted!

She wanted this Rebellious Disciple to taste what it meant to "play with fire and get burned"!

"Hmph!"

Zhao Muxue gave a cold snort, forcibly suppressing the strange sensation in her heart as her face frosted over again.

She walked up to Qin Feng and extended a jade-like finger, tapping it against his forehead.

A stream of cold, pure spiritual energy was injected into his Sea of Consciousness, temporarily suppressing the violent medicinal power in his body.

"Rebellious Disciple."

Her voice was cold and majestic.

"This Seat punishes you to finish this entire pot of soup."

"Then, return to your Immortal Cave and enter 'seclusion' properly for This Seat!"

"You are not permitted to step a single foot out of your Immortal Cave for three days!"

"Otherwise, you shall be dealt with according to the sect rules!"

She was giving Qin Feng a way out.

She was also giving herself a way out.

She knew very well that in Qin Feng's current state, if he stayed here any longer, he might truly lose control on the spot.

If something that shouldn't happen occurred in front of Ye Nianxin, the situation would become truly unmanageable.

"Yes... Revered Master."

Qin Feng nodded with difficulty.

He knew his Revered Master was protecting him.

But she was also... punishing him.

Leaving him to endure this torture, which was akin to a cruel punishment, all by himself.

Qin Feng didn't waste any more words.

Silently, he walked to the Pill Furnace, picked up the furnace pot—which was larger than a washbasin—and under the complex gazes of Zhao Muxue and Ye Nianxin, tilted his head back and drank every last drop of the remaining "soup" like a whale inhaling water!

After finishing, he felt as if his entire body was about to explode.

He didn't dare stay for another moment. He haphazardly cupped his hands toward the two of them and then turned into a streak of red light, flying back toward his Immortal Cave as if fleeing for his life without looking back.

Watching his pathetic retreating figure, Ye Nianxin's eyes were filled with worry and self-reproach.

Meanwhile, the corner of Zhao Muxue's mouth curled into a cold smile of successful revenge.

Rebellious Disciple, you think you can contend with This Seat?

You're still a bit too green!

...Qin Feng felt like he had become a volcano on the verge of eruption.

The medicinal power of that "ten-complete great tonic soup" was like billions of tons of scalding lava, surging frantically through his limbs, bones, and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

Every inch of flesh and every single cell was being burst and torn apart by this extremely scorching energy, only to be forcibly healed under the domineering restoration of the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique.

This repeated tearing and reshaping brought about a hellish agony.

But accompanying it was a primal urge rooted in biological instinct, one strong enough to destroy all reason.

His eyes were blood-red, his breathing heavy and ragged, his muscles knotted and bulging, and his veins writhed under his skin like ferocious flood dragons.

His whole person seemed like a prehistoric Vicious Beast imprisoned for ten thousand years, about to break its shackles and bring calamity to the world.

"Hiss... this medicinal power is too fierce! I'm about to lose it!"

Qin Feng ground his back teeth together, his scarlet tongue licking his dry, cracked lips as a beast-like low growl escaped his throat.

He felt his consciousness being devoured bit by bit by that violent desire.

No!

He couldn't lose control here!

He suddenly threw a punch, smashing it hard against the nearby stone wall!

Boom!

The hard rock was smashed into a deep pit like tofu, sending stone fragments flying.

The intense pain allowed his chaotic mind to regain a moment of clarity.

He staggered toward the Cold Pool in the center of the Immortal Cave, wanting to use the bone-chilling water to douse the evil fire within him.

Just then, the sound of a soft, almost ethereal footstep came from the entrance of the Immortal Cave.

"Who's there?"

Qin Feng whipped his head around, his blood-red eyes filled with vigilance and fury.

The shadows at the entrance were empty.

"Huh? Where is everyone?!"

Qin Feng shook his burning head, thinking he was hallucinating.

But in the next instant, a familiar scent of orchids from a secluded valley, mixed with a rich fragrance of medicinal herbs, silently drifted into his nostrils.

This scent... it was Third Senior Sister!

Qin Feng's heart gave a violent thud.

Why would she come here?

Shouldn't she be in the Pill Room, blaming herself for his "recklessness" today?

"Junior Brother..."

A voice filled with worry, guilt, and a hint of timidity sounded behind him.

Qin Feng's body froze instantly.

He didn't dare turn around.

He was afraid that the moment he turned, he would transform into a primal beast and completely defile this unsullied white lotus.

"Senior Sister, leave quickly!"

Qin Feng's voice was hoarse, like metal scraping together; every word seemed forced out from between his teeth.

"I'm not leaving!"

There was an unprecedented firmness in Ye Nianxin's voice.

She looked at Qin Feng's agonizingly struggling back and his body, which was trembling from the effort of restraint, and her heart ached as if pierced by a knife.

She knew that Junior Brother had become like this all because of her.

It was her bowl of "ten-complete great tonic soup" that had harmed him.

How could she abandon him at a time like this?

"Junior Brother, I... I've come to help you."

Ye Nianxin summoned all her courage and reached out with her slightly trembling jade-like hands, intending to press them against Qin Feng's back and use her pure Wood-element spiritual energy to soothe the violent medicinal power for him.

"Don't come over!"

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Qin Feng suddenly let out a thunderous shout!

The Qi and blood in his body completely spiraled out of control because of this shout!

*Pfft!*

A mouthful of scalding blood sprayed out from his mouth, staining the ground in front of him red.

His body could no longer hold up, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud, propping himself up with his hands on the ground as he panted heavily.

"Junior Brother!"

Ye Nianxin was scared out of her wits at this sight; no longer caring about the propriety between men and women, she rushed over, wanting to support him...
