Tap, tap, tap...
A silver moon hung in the sky above the capital city. The long street was quiet, and there was only a beautiful figure in green clothes, running headlong along the street as if being chased by a lecherous thief.
After running out of Tianshui Bridge, Luo Ning slowed down a bit and looked back at the empty alley entrance.
The little rascal didn't follow. He was probably dragged into the house by that woman...
The little rascal had been drugged and definitely couldn't resist. He would be completely "used up" by that woman...
But if she went back to snatch him again, the little rascal would surely come to pester her...
It's better to leave first. Anyway, the little rascal was forced to do it, and it wasn't unforgivable...
Don't mess around and end up getting herself into trouble...
Luo Ning looked back at the street entrance for a moment, gritted her silver teeth, turned around, and was about to leave. But just as she turned into the alley, she directly bumped into a warm embrace.
Thump——
"Ah~"
Luo Ning was startled and quickly took a few steps back, gripping the soft sword at her waist.
In the dark alley, there stood a valiant man who spread his arms and walked towards her:
"Lady Luo, don't be excited. It's me..."
Clang——
Luo Ning wasn't excited at first. But when she heard that familiar voice, her fragrant shoulders trembled violently. Like seeing a devil, she drew out her sword and pointed at the little rascal, just like an innocent female hero encountering a lecherous thief:
"You... Don't come any closer!"
Ye Jingtang completely ignored the sword tip that was so close, and he walked forward until the tip of the sword touched his chest.
?!
Luo Ning looked at the little rascal's burning eyes, her eyelashes quivered slightly. She was obviously flustered and didn't dare to really stab. She could only step back until her back pressed against the wall of the alley:
"Little rascal! Come to your senses. You... Ah!"
As soon as the sword tip moved away, Ye Jingtang stepped forward, put his arm around Lady Luo's waist, pulled her forcefully into his arms, and gently rubbed against her earlobe:
"Huff..."
"You!"
Luo Ning turned her head forcefully. She felt as if her "big moon" (a metaphor for a certain part of her body) was squeezed hard. Her eyes were filled with shame and anger, and she quickly pushed away the wandering hand:
"Little rascal! Behave yourself. This isn't an aphrodisiac. It won't cloud your mind. Are you doing this on purpose?!!"
Ye Jingtang was indeed doing it on purpose, but there was definitely the influence of the medicine. He held Lady Luo tightly and wouldn't let go:
"Lady Luo, why did you drug me? Do you want something but don't dare to say it?"
?
Luo Ning was made to feel all tingly by the man's scorching breath. She twisted her shoulders vigorously:
"Who drugged you? It was Madam Wang. She said you had too much internal heat and needed to have sex to regulate your body..."
Ye Jingtang was taken aback and smelled the faint fragrance in her hair: "So Lady Luo bought the medicine for me and was going to help me regulate my body?"
Luo Ning was tightly hugged by his arms, and her "little watermelon" (a metaphor for a certain part of her body) was squeezed flat. She explained angrily:
"You wish. I pretended to be your fiancée, and Madam Wang misunderstood. I said you were a gentleman and would never be rude to me because of such things. Then she prescribed a box of medicine... I really misjudged you!"
Ye Jingtang blinked his eyes: "Then you were too embarrassed to use the medicine and gave it to San Niang?"
Luo Ning's eyes turned cold slightly: "What do you mean gave it to her? She suddenly came over and snatched it without saying a word. I couldn't very well explain it to her..."
"Then why did you come back and try to pull me back so forcefully? Were you jealous?"
"..."
Luo Ning didn't really know how to answer this question. After a moment of hesitation:
"I haven't decided whether to make you, the little rascal, take responsibility or not. If you flirt with me first, you should show an attitude of making amends... Isn't it right for me to come and pull you away? Should I just let you fool around outside before I make up my mind?... Don't kiss my ear!"
"Sigh... I can't help it..."
Ye Jingtang loosened his embrace a bit and said seriously:
"I've always been trustworthy. It's just that I was accidentally drugged, and there's no other way. I just want to kiss you a little bit..."
Luo Ning's face turned red, and she said angrily and shyly:
"Little rascal! Don't make excuses. You're just being brave because of the 'courage given by the medicine'. Madam Wang said that this medicine doesn't affect your mind. If I go back on my word, you can definitely control yourself..."
Ye Jingtang leaned close to her ear: "How can you believe such words? You drugged me, which shows that you already had the intention. Even if I were stupid, I would take the opportunity. Madam Wang said that just to make sure you wouldn't be too reserved..."
Luo Ning couldn't break free. The look in her eyes gradually changed from shame and anger to helplessness, and her peach blossom-like beautiful eyes became misty:
"Ye Jingtang, don't make excuses and deceive yourself! Madam Wang said it wouldn't affect your mind. It's clearly that you have bad intentions. If you really cared about my opinion, could you not resist?"
Ye Jingtang saw this and loosened his embrace a bit more. He looked directly into Luo Ning's eyes:
"This is a powerful aphrodisiac. How can you expect me to resist? I have a strong will, but if I take poison, will I not die?"
Luo Ning stared at him: "As long as you have a strong will and don't think about those things, you can definitely remain unmoved!"
Ye Jingtang thought for a while, took out the medicine box from his bosom, and took out one pill:
"Open your mouth!"
??
Luo Ning was a bit confused: "What do you want to do?"
Ye Jingtang tried to feed the pill into Luo Ning's mouth:
"You said you can resist. Then try it yourself. We'll both take it, and then stand here. Whoever moves is a puppy. What do you think?"
Luo Ning thought this method sounded quite fair, but after thinking it over, she realized there were many pitfalls. She quickly covered her mouth and looked at him warily:
"Pei San Niang gave you the medicine, not me. Why should I accompany you to try it?"
Ye Jingtang thought she was right and nodded slightly:
"I really can't blame Lady Luo for this. San Niang didn't know about it either. I... I'll go find the princess... This matter has to be resolved somehow..."
When Luo Ning heard that he was going to find the princess, she instinctively reached out and grabbed Ye Jingtang's sleeve.
Ye Jingtang stopped in his tracks. Seeing that Lady Luo seemed to want to say something but held back, he changed his words:
"Then I'll go to Longyin Tower and have a seat?"
Luo Ning stopped the already muddled Ye Jingtang and said seriously:
"The women in that place are not clean. You... You should keep yourself pure."
Ye Jingtang was rather helpless: "Lady Luo pulled me away from San Niang, won't let me go to the princess, and also won't let me go to the brothel. You know you can't resist and don't dare to take the medicine, but you ask me to stand here and endure it. Aren't you trying to kill me?"
Luo Ning stood by the wall, looking at the man in front of her who was speaking so forcefully. She couldn't retort. She gritted her teeth, snatched the medicine box away, and said resolutely:
"Fine, I'll take it. If I can't resist, I won't blame you for whatever you do to me. If I can resist, I'll castrate you..."
As she spoke, she took out the medicine and was about to put it in her mouth.
Ye Jingtang quickly raised his hand and pressed it down: "Stop making trouble. You definitely can't resist."
?!
Luo Ning didn't believe it. She struggled hard with her wrist, wanting to swallow the medicine and show Ye Jingtang that she could resist.
Ye Jingtang saw her stubborn look that had never suffered a loss and was also无奈 (helpless):
"If you take it here and can't resist, are we going to perform a live sex scene on the street?"
"..."
Luo Ning thought he was right. Holding the pill, she thought for a moment:
"Yunli is at home. Let's go to an inn and open a room..."
Ye Jingtang spread his hands slightly: "If you can resist, what are you afraid of Yunli for? Since you know you can't resist, don't take the medicine casually, in case you wake up tomorrow and go back on your word, saying that I set a trap for you or something."
Luo Ning was silent for a moment, then turned and walked in the direction of Ranfang Street:
"You think I have bad intentions like you? I'll go back and take it to show you. Even if it's really an aphrodisiac, as long as I have no evil thoughts, I can suppress it..."
Ye Jingtang shook his head and sighed. He didn't try to persuade her anymore and followed the angry "Watermelon Sister" (a nickname for Luo Ning) home:
"Fine. Let's make it clear first. If something really happens, Lady Luo, don't blame me for it tomorrow."
"Hmph..."
Tianshui Bridge was about four or five li away from Ranfang Street, which wasn't too far.
It was probably already the midnight hour. In the center of the city, you could still see the afterglow of the sea of lights, while this block in front had already become an empty city. Besides the serene moonlight, there were only the night watchmen, occasionally walking back and forth with lanterns.
The two of them walked side by side. Driven by the powerful aphrodisiac, Ye Jingtang's steps naturally became faster and faster.
Luo Ning, on the other hand, felt a bit guilty, and her steps became slower and slower. From walking in front at first, she ended up following behind. She pursed her lips, and her cold and beautiful face showed a bit of hesitation, as if she wanted to go back on her word but didn't know how to say it.
The two of them walked in silence for about half the way. Before they reached Ranfang Street, suddenly, a hawk's cry sounded in the distant night sky:
"Scream——!"
The sound was so loud that it seemed to stop the clouds. Being under the clouds and in the middle of the night, probably half of the capital city could hear it.
Luo Ning was walking while lost in thought. The little rascal in front stopped suddenly, almost making her bump into his back. She couldn't help but wonder:
"What are you doing again?"
"It's the bird."
Ye Jingtang looked up at the night sky, and his eyes regained their focus. Judging from their years of getting along, the cry should mean – You bunch of idiots, you're making the bird so angry. This way, this way, this way...
Ye Jingtang frowned and turned around: "It's the bird. It's in a hurry. I'll go and take a look."
Luo Ning blinked her eyes. Suddenly, she remembered Madam Wang's instructions and became a bit anxious. She followed beside him and said in a deep voice:
"You've been drugged. You..."
Ye Jingtang's lecherous expression returned to calm:
"I was just kidding you. My mind is really fine. I'm just feeling extremely restless all over and have so much energy that I want to find someone to fight with to release the pent-up energy. It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman..."
?!
Luo Ning was quite angry when she heard such outrageous words. She grabbed Ye Jingtang's wrist:
"What are you talking about? You come back with me... I... I'll find a way for you, okay? I'll help you suppress the effect of the medicine first. If something happens to you in your current state, what should we do..."
Before she could finish her words, another cry came from the sky:
"Scream——!"
This time, the sound was a bit closer...
