38. After the rain, the sky cleared.
"Wait a minute!" I yelled.
Lu Buwang looked at me impatiently.
"What do you want now? Or are you going to replace him?"
“Well… since you insist on having him… at least make sure he doesn’t feel pain…” I said, tossing a bottle that landed on the ground. “It’s an aphrodisiac. You can smell it if you don’t believe me.” I said cautiously. “Feiwu, why are you doing this?” Bingzi opened her eyes, puzzled, and smiled bitterly.
"You think I'm being so kind? What I want is a sense of conquest..." Lu Buwang said contemptuously.
"Someone who can be agreeable is better than someone who's a block of wood," I said softly, trying to ignore the pain in Bingzi's eyes as she looked at me.
"No need, I don't need it." I knew Bingzi's icy tone was directed at me. He would rather keep a clear head than succumb to Lu Buwang because of the drugs.
"I don't want you to be in pain." I bit my lip, feeling wronged. "If only I didn't have to experience that..." I looked at Bingzi pitifully. He resumed his cold expression, didn't answer, and just stared at me.
"That's interesting to hear you say." Lu Buwang, having watched the show to his heart's content, turned to Bing Zi. "Pick up that bottle. Open it."
Bing Zi did as instructed, and Lu Buwang, smelling the fragrance, nodded. "As expected of Young Master Fei Wu, such a superior aphrodisiac must have used quite a few precious medicines."
I did not answer.
"Do you want some?" Lu Buwang asked Bingzi. Bingzi didn't answer, she just glared at me.
"Eat it." Lu Buwang pried open Bingzi's mouth and poured it all in. "The more you don't want to eat, the more I want to see you in heat. Hahaha..." The laughter stopped because he suddenly collapsed to the ground, convulsing.
"What did you feed me?" Bingzi frowned and slowly tapped all eighty-one dead acupoints on Lu Buwang's body, including the mute acupoint.
"An aphrodisiac," I answered honestly.
Bingzi looked at me with obvious dissatisfaction.
"Really, I'm not lying to you."
But not only Bingzi refused to believe me, even Lü Buwang glared at me fiercely, as if accusing me of lying.
Bingzi came over and unlocked the chains that bound me.
“It’s true, don’t you feel hot and restless all over?” I said.
"..." Bingzi blushed; it seemed the medicine was starting to take effect.
"I told you, I really didn't lie to you," I hurriedly clarified.
"You? You actually gave me an aphrodisiac." Bingzi gritted his teeth, and it seemed that he had a lot of willpower to keep from lunging at me and grabbing my neck.
“However, it’s a top-grade aphrodisiac. It contains a certain herb that acts as an aphrodisiac for you, but not for Lü Buwang.” Bingzi looked at me, listening to my increasingly rapid breathing. Sweat began to bead on his forehead. He glared at me, his fiery gaze wanting to devour me.
“I suddenly remembered that you and Binghong have a peculiar scent on you. You two don’t actually use the Ice Mist Grass from the Tianshan Mountains for your lavender, do you? Such a precious herb, it’s such a waste to use it for lavender.” I clicked my tongue in regret.
"Get to the point."
"Once you get used to the smell of Ice Mist Grass, Earth Grass won't bother you. But for those who aren't used to it, Earth Grass can cause spasms and bleeding." I said quickly because Ice Purple was about to collapse. He looked into my eyes as if he wanted to devour me whole.
"Moreover, this aphrodisiac is usually just for light inhalation. Because of the side effects of the ground herb, very few people use it. No one tries to ingest it, but Lü Buwang actually fed it all to you, so of course he smelled quite a bit. That's why he had spasms, and you were hit by a strong... aphrodisiac." I swallowed hard, because it seemed that Bingzi wasn't satisfied with just eating me.
"What should I do?" He reached out and started tearing at my clothes. Without hesitation. "I can't control myself anymore, what are you going to do?" His mind and body seemed to be two different people; his tone was calm, but his hands quickly slipped inside my clothes, beginning to grope me shamelessly. A satisfied expression appeared on his face.
I sighed. "Normally, at this moment I should be sacrificing myself for the hero, with some dramatic, passionate scene. But..." I cut my wrist and held it out to him. "Drink it."
He hesitated, looking at me, but his hands moved faster and faster, already tearing at my lower body clothing. "Hurry up, or I'll knock you out," I said through gritted teeth.
Bingzi lowered his head and took my wrist into his mouth. I felt my blood slowly flowing into his body, the slightly itchy sensation and the icy touch of his blood making me gasp. He slowly withdrew his hand from under my clothes. He didn't look up, but simply held my wrist carefully, gently licking it. My blood vessels were blocked, and my face flushed crimson. It seemed his aphrodisiac had worn off; I could finally rest assured about my innocence. But his actions were strange, ambiguous. He was kneeling before me, holding my arm in one hand, licking my wrist. I wanted to pull my hand away, but I didn't really want to. After all, he had just endured so much torment, suffering so much for me… His eyelashes were beautiful; from this angle, in the flickering firelight, they were truly stunning.
"Has the bleeding stopped?" After a long while, he finally looked up at me.
"It's alright." I slid my wrist back with a quick movement. Then, blushing, I looked into his eyes. Oh no, I was so focused on his eyelashes that I forgot he was still seriously injured. That wretched Lu Buwang, even though he was watching us, I waved my hand, and he fainted. Still not satisfied, I waved again, and slowly, speckled bloodstains appeared on Lu Buwang's body. The bloodstains gradually grew larger, coalescing into bloody welts, as if he had been whipped. Still not satisfied, I waved again…
“Alright, we’ll have plenty of time to torment him later.” Bingzi grabbed my wrist. “You’re tired too, take a rest and think about how to escape.”
"Yours..." I helped him lean against the wall, slowly looking at the black, bloody marks on his chest. I felt so sad. I rubbed my eyes, and tears started falling again without my noticing. How could I be so weak? I've cried far too much tonight.
"I'm fine." Bingzi reached out and stroked my hair. "Everything will be alright."
"I can definitely get rid of you, don't worry." I bit my lip.
"I believe you." He smiled, a childlike smile.
"What about those two slaps he delivered?" I touched his vital spot and held it.
"I'm tough and resilient, I'm fine." It seemed there was nothing fatal. His pulse was a little erratic, but overall, with proper care, he would recover quickly. I touched the undried blood at the corner of his mouth, but he grabbed my wrist, preventing me from touching it.
Then we fell silent. He looked at me silently, and I looked at him silently. Although it was a little awkward, I was really… my heart was racing… my face was burning… and I involuntarily leaned closer to him. He reached out and wrapped his arms around my back. As if everything was natural, our lips touched. His lips were still bloody, but they felt reassuring and sweet. He gently sucked the juice from my mouth, and the gentle feeling made me want to cry. It felt like I was being cherished and pampered.
“Feiwu, I love you,” he said, as if it were natural, without any pretense, without the slightest struggle or hesitation. I hugged him, nestled tightly against his shoulder, basking in his warmth. He held me, gently playing with my hair.
"Fei'er!" The iron gate was kicked open with a thud. I slowly turned my head and saw a large group of people, some worried, some surprised, and one very injured.
