70: My clever peach blossom

Su Ran's teeth were clenched tight and his eyes were bloodshot, yet he had lost even the courage to stretch his legs freely.

It wasn't until Ling Xian threw another punch, with the faint sound of a crane's cry echoing in the wind, that Su Ran truly realized the gap in their strength.

"Impossible... Ever since I was a child, the Little Black-clothed Uncle asserted that I am the Man of Destiny!"

Su Ran's conviction began to crumble, but the Crane Fist, carrying a whistling wind, gave him no chance at all.

"Spare him!"

A clear, feminine shout rang out, followed by a cloud of barely perceptible medicinal powder drifting toward Ling Xian with the wind.

The Living Dead's eyes were sharp, instantly identifying the powder. He decisively grabbed Ling Wu and retreated dozens of meters.

Only Ling Xian remained in the center, inhaling that strange powder.

"Holy crap! It's an aphrodisiac!" By the time Ling Xian realized it, it was too late.

Looking up, the newcomer was one of Su Ran's seven senior sisters, the Fourth Senior Sister known as the "Divine Physician," Wei Zhiruo.

"You... A dignified Divine Physician, actually using such underhanded methods." Ling Xian strained his True Qi to suppress the rising flames of desire, his face flushing red as he found himself in a dilemma.

"Hehe," Wei Zhiruo's tone was gentle, but her smile carried a hint of mockery. "This isn't poison, so how can you call it underhanded?"

Before her voice even faded, she grabbed Su Ran, preparing to make her escape.

"Fourth Senior Sister! My golden needles, my golden needles!" Even while clutching his backside, Su Ran didn't forget that set of golden needles.

But Wei Zhiruo acted as if facing a formidable foe. She didn't dare stay for a second, picking up Su Ran and flying away.

Flushed with heat, Ling Xian didn't dare linger any longer, nor did he choose to pursue them.

"Quick, Ling Wu, let's go back!" As soon as he got into the car, he immediately urged Ling Wu while circulating his True Qi to firmly suppress the wicked fire within him.

He turned to ask the Living Dead, "Is there an antidote?"

"No."

"Don't lie to me!"

After saying that, he looked at the golden needles in his hand and stabbed them into his own acupoints without hesitation.

He grumbled inwardly, "Just what grade of aphrodisiac is this? Its properties are so potent."

"It's so powerful, I almost want to get some for myself."

Coral Manor Villa No. 9.

The car had barely come to a stop when Ling Xian rushed inside like a whirlwind.

Although he had just used the golden needles to neutralize part of the drug's power, this extraordinary medicine far exceeded his imagination.

He hadn't expected Wei Zhiruo to be willing to use such rare medicinal ingredients to refine this stuff.

Rather than an aphrodisiac, it was more like an ultimate tonic. It was just that the medicinal power was too intense, leaving his boiling blood with nowhere to vent.

In the villa, only Chi Taohua was there at the moment.

Neither Mo Xueer nor Hu Yourong were in Jiangnan.

It seemed he could only trouble this Little Loli.

"Ah, Young Master, Young Master!" Chi Taohua was eating candy when she was suddenly pulled into Ling Xian's arms, letting out several startled cries.

Ling Wu and the Living Dead were very tactful, silently standing outside the villa and starting to chat.

"Senior Living Dead, do you really... not have an antidote?" Ling Wu couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's a great tonic, where would an antidote come from?" An old, mischievous smile appeared on the Living Dead's face. "However, I do have pills to suppress its properties."

"Then why did you just..."

The Living Dead interrupted him, "It's a good thing for young people to have vitality. Look at Young Master Ling, how spirited he is."

Inside Chi Taohua's bedroom in the villa.

Ling Xian cast aside his usual gentleness and lowered his head to press against Chi Taohua's lips.

Chi Taohua whimpered, unable to speak.

She had just eaten candy, and her mouth was filled with a honey-like sweetness. It was cloyingly sweet, yet it made Ling Xian sink even deeper.

"I'm coming." This wasn't a question, but a statement.

"Mm..." Chi Taohua's response was as faint as a mosquito's hum.

Looking at Chi Taohua, who was wearing a maid outfit and trying her best to look seductive but only managing to look cute, Ling Xian stopped holding back.

"Young Master, if you ever dare to abandon me and Sister A in the future, I... I'll bite you to death!"

Before she could finish, she opened her small mouth and bit hard on Ling Xian's neck, leaving a clear row of teeth marks—a testament to her terrifying bite force.

The two crawled under the covers, which matched the pink decor of the bedroom.

The air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere and the faint fragrance of candy.

A long time later.

Under the covers, Chi Taohua's body was limp and drenched in sweat. Her lips were slightly swollen as she lay slumped in Ling Xian's arms.

She panted heavily, her chest heaving, and tears shimmered in her eyes.

"Young Master, how about... calling Sister Hu over too?"

"I... I can't beat you alone..." Chi Taohua looked like she was on the verge of tears.

"No, she still has to handle company affairs," Ling Xian flatly refused.

"Then call Sister A! Sister A doesn't need to manage the company!" At this moment, Chi Taohua's mind was filled with the thought of "better her than me."

"Then you tell her yourself and have her come to Jiangnan as soon as possible."

Saying that, Ling Xian took out a primary beauty-enhancing pill from his storage ring and handed it over.

"This is for you."

"What's this? A jelly bean?" Chi Taohua smelled a sweet fragrance and thought it was a new type of candy Ling Xian had gotten for her.

"Candy, candy, candy! All you think about is candy!" Ling Xian sighed in exasperation. "Watch out or someone will lure you away with a few pieces of candy one day."

"They will not!" Chi Taohua puffed out her chest proudly. "I only eat things you give me."

"If someone else gives it to me, I won't even touch it."

"You can provide me with a steady stream of all kinds of candies and desserts."

"I'm not stupid. Why would I be penny wise and pound foolish?"

Hearing this, Ling Xian was momentarily speechless. He could only pat his forehead and laugh helplessly.

"You're really smart."

"Right! I think so too! Sister A even said I had bubbles in my brain and that I messed up her Fake Death Plan."

"I think there was clearly something wrong with her plan!"

Chi Taohua foolishly thought Ling Xian was genuinely praising her, and her face beamed with a proud smile.

Ling Xian gazed at her silly yet confident look, his heart filled with warmth.

Being with Chi Taohua had that kind of magic.

She was like a pure and beautiful fairytale that could make one temporarily forget all the troubles in the world.

Being stared at by Ling Xian like that, Taohua felt as if an electric current was surging through her body.

"What are you looking at me for?" she asked, her face flushing crimson.

"I'm looking at my smart Chi Taohua."

"Who's yours? I'm not yet."

Chi Taohua retorted coquettishly, "You promised to help me deal with the Poker Organization. Only when that's settled will I be yours."

"Alright." Ling Xian chuckled, then his tone shifted and became gentle, "Then now... shall we continue?"

"This time... be gentle!"

Ling Xian nodded with a smile.
