Chapter 234 Can't find it, help me
"Can you use your internal energy to force the medicine out?" Jiang Zhi asked him.
Xie Qi tried it and then shook his head. "No, it won't work."
His blood is churning, his consciousness is blurred, and he has difficulty even maintaining a semblance of lucidity.
He realized he couldn't stay there any longer and got up to leave. "I'll go downstairs... and find somewhere else..."
However, as soon as he got up, he groaned and slowly slid down the rock wall.
The drug had begun to take effect; his eyes became unfocused and glazed over, and his palms were sweaty as he kept tugging at his clothes.
"Zhizhi, Zhizhi, stay away from me." He murmured softly, clinging to his last shred of clarity.
Jiang Zhi got up from beside him, keeping her distance as much as possible.
But the cave was so small that she really had nowhere to hide.
Xie Qi huddled in the corner, facing the cliff. Jiang Zhi could only see his curled-up back. Such a big person was huddled up in a ball, with sounds of unbearable discomfort constantly escaping his lips, accompanied by low, hoarse breaths.
Like a caged beast with nowhere to go, all that's left is its mournful whimpering.
Jiang Zhi remembered what she had just seen in the secret letter.
It details the uses and effects of silk threads.
It takes effect slowly, but its effects are extremely potent. There is no antidote after taking Chinese medicine; the only way to relieve the effects is through sexual intercourse between a man and a woman.
If one forces oneself to endure it, it will cause great damage to the body for ordinary people. At best, it will shorten lifespan; at worst, it will cause blood vessels to rupture and lead to death on the spot.
For those who practice martial arts, they will lose all their internal energy and become completely useless.
Xiao Yunheng's original plan was to cause a conflict between Xiao Xuanyou and Xie Qi after she was drugged, so that the two would become enemies in the shortest possible time.
Only Xiao Yunheng could come up with such a despicable and insidious method.
At this moment, Xie Qi was on the verge of a mental breakdown, but he still bit his lip tightly, took out the sword at his side, and slashed his palm hard, blood gushing out.
The pain briefly brought him back to his senses.
His eyes were bloodshot, his breathing was rapid, and he lay hunched over on the edge of the cliff, trying to relieve his pervasive heat with the cold, hard touch.
Jiang Zhi was torn between her inner thoughts and her own mind at that moment.
Xie Qi came here for her sake, and she really couldn't bear to watch him suffer like this.
"Xie Qi..." she called out to him.
Xie Qi trembled, and his breathing became even heavier.
"Zhizhi...don't come near me...let me, let me be alone for a while, it'll be alright...it'll be alright..."
He didn't know whether he was comforting her or himself.
Jiang Zhi looked reluctant.
If it weren't for this dilemma, she would have turned around and left, letting Xie Qi figure out a solution himself.
But now... he has, in a way, saved me from a disaster.
How could she just stand by and do nothing?
Jiang Zhi took a deep breath, casting aside her shyness, and bit her lip, saying, "How about... I help you?"
Xie Qi let out a low gasp and turned to stare at her.
That gaze flickered like a candle in the darkness, emitting a faint green glow, filled with endless struggle and longing.
How could Xie Qi withstand Jiang Zhi's words now?
He was so tense he almost snapped; his jaw was clenched so tightly it made a grinding sound, but he still shook his head desperately, "No, no, I can't force you."
“No, I did it voluntarily.” Jiang Zhi stepped forward and approached him.
Xie Qi's entire body shrank even further towards the rock wall. "Don't come any closer, run, run..."
He was really losing control.
He couldn't possibly guarantee what he would become if he took that step.
Jiang Zhi bent over, her face calm, a stark contrast to Xie Qi, who was trapped in dire straits.
"Remember this: nothing that happened tonight means anything. Don't mention a single word about it after it's over, understand?" she whispered.
Xie Qi couldn't hear anything; all he could see were her parted, rosy lips, and the air was filled with her delicate fragrance.
Reason plummeted into the abyss, and the last glimmer of clarity in my eyes shattered.
His burning hot hand suddenly gripped her wrist, so hot it was frightening.
Jiang Zhi was instantly pulled into a hot, hard embrace, and the kiss that landed on her lips was filled with uncontrollable anxiety.
"Wait, wait, slow down..." Before she was ready, the man in front of her was already impatiently biting her lips, holding her waist tightly, his eyes surging with scarlet heat, as if he wanted to burn her to ashes as well.
At this moment, Xie Qi was no longer listening to her.
He was like a traveler who had been wandering alone in the desert for a long time, and when faced with this only rain before him, he could only soothe the endless desire in his heart by swallowing it.
Her jaw was pried open, her tongue and teeth intertwined, and Jiang Zhi couldn't even swallow, as he swept everything away.
Seeing his crazy behavior, Jiang Zhi felt a little regretful.
But now she has no choice but to accept it.
Xie Qi pinned her against the cliff face. Her back felt damp and cold, while her front felt like it was surrounded by a torrent of lava.
He didn't even have time to take it off; with a "rip," Jiang Zhi's clothes were completely torn to shreds in his palm.
"Hey, how could you do this? I'm going to... um... how am I going to get out?"
The only response she received was Xie Qi's unobstructed skin pressed against hers.
But soon, his movements stopped.
The once majestic and spirited young general on the battlefield was now desperately seeking answers, his veins bulging and cold sweat pouring down his face.
Jiang Zhi was so ashamed that her toes curled up, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"If you can't handle it, then forget it." She said through gritted teeth.
Xie Qi stared intently at her in the darkness, beads of sweat rolling down his Adam's apple and into his prominent collarbone. He was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.
The rising steam sprayed onto her body.
The next instant, Jiang Zhi couldn't even send a single complete byte.
This was in a deserted mountain cave. She didn't know how many places she had been moved to. All she knew was that the ground was too hard, the walls were too hard, and even Xie Qi's muscles in front of her were hard, making her feel painful.
Her voice was broken, tears welled in her eyes, and she turned her head to look at the frost-covered grass on the cliff face as she floated about.
The slender plant watched her silently.
When will it bloom?
Jiang Zhi was thinking in a daze, but her consciousness was quickly dispelled as she entered the next wave.
