Chapter 210 A Powerful Rescue for the Beauty
Dongfang Ruyi's consciousness floated in chaos, and she heard the faint sound of light spots refracted by the crystal chandelier.
The effects of the Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder entangled her meridians like a spider web, making even her fingertips feel as if they were burdened with an immense weight. Moonlight streamed in through the 270-degree panoramic windows, casting dappled shadows on Song Wenjie's face.
"Ding--"
The silver tray landed on the Persian carpet. As Song Wenjie tore off the human skin mask, a soft tearing sound filled the air, revealing eagle-like brow bones. He stroked the seal script on the jade pendant at Dongfang Ruyi's waist, the characters "Martial Alliance Inspector," his knuckles turning white with excitement.
"Who would have thought..." He unbuttoned the third button of his collar, his Adam's apple bobbing in the moonlight, "that the once-powerful Ice Fairy is now like a snow lotus, ready to be plucked by anyone?"
"All crews, take your positions! Make sure you capture this breathtaking footage perfectly. Once released, it will go viral worldwide!" the Master of Ceremonies excitedly ordered.
The alluring video of the aloof goddess of the martial arts alliance is set to cause a sensation in the martial arts world.
As the director and second male lead, he had been eagerly anticipating it for a long time.
“Young Master Song, after taking this medicine, she will be more proactive.” The Master of Ceremonies took out a medicinal powder.
"Very good." Song Wenjie smiled and took the water to force-feed Dongfang Ruyi.
Dongfang Ruyi's eyes were cold, her expression resolute.
She was determined to die; even if it meant her untimely demise, she would rather not be defiled by these two beasts.
He was left with only regrets; the person he was meant to kill had not yet been killed, and the deep-seated hatred remained unresolved.
"Alright, everyone to your positions, action!" The Master of Ceremonies waved his hand.
Song Wenjie had already put Xiao Chen's mask back on, and with trembling hands and heavy breathing, he reached out his large hand towards Dongfang Ruyi's chest.
With her last bit of strength, Dongfang Ruyi prepared to end her own life.
Suddenly, the entire building started buzzing!
The crystal chandelier hanging in the atrium suddenly shattered into dust, and the 500-kilogram bronze Pixiu statue, meant to ward off evil spirits, crashed to the ground. Song Wenjie slammed his earpiece shut, and the metallic cracking sound from the elevator shaft on the 38th floor pierced the night sky.
"Reporting, young master! Someone is coming from the ventilation duct—"
The screams over the walkie-talkie abruptly stopped. The air currents created by Xiao Chen's figure crashing through the bulletproof glass swirled the moonlight in the room. Frost still clung to the hem of his black trench coat, and bright red blood dripped from the dragon-patterned dagger in his left hand.
"Xiao Chen..." Upon seeing Xiao Chen arrive, Dongfang Ruyi's eyes flickered, her heart regained its vitality, and she seemed to have come back to life.
One step later, and she would have taken her own life.
"Put her down." Xiao Chen's voice seemed to have been carved from millennia-old ice. "Or I could sever all the meridians in your body."
"Hmph! This... is my Song family's territory!" Song Wenjie didn't seem surprised, as if he knew Xiao Chen would come, and he sneered.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and the thirty-six laser arrays embedded in the wall activated simultaneously, shooting lasers toward Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen remained expressionless. The moment he raised his hand, the crimson rays condensed into ice shards in mid-air, shattering into pieces on the ground with a clanging sound.
This scene made Song Wenjie and the others change color.
The energy of cutting-edge technology couldn't harm him!
Dongfang Ruyi suddenly bit her tongue. The moment the taste of blood exploded in her mouth, the Ice Soul True Qi dormant in her dantian burst forth like a spring thunderclap. Taking advantage of the opening created by Xiao Chen, she forcibly reversed her meridians, and frost-colored sword energy burst forth from her fingertips, forcing Song Wenjie back three steps.
"You actually managed to break through the Ten Fragrant Softening Powder?" Song Wenjie wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked in shock.
Xiao Chen's blade was faster than his words. The dragon-patterned short blade traced an eerie arc, and before the blade even arrived, the gold-threaded clasp on Song Wenjie's chest was already covered in ice crystals.
Song Wenjie's face was grim.
He was about to succeed when Xiao Chen suddenly appeared and ruined his plans. How could he not be angry?
In this critical situation, he had no choice but to retreat.
No one knows what he did, but suddenly the hidden compartment beneath his feet flipped, and Song Wenjie and the Master of Ceremonies fell down.
"Watch out!" Dongfang Ruyi suddenly grabbed Xiao Chen's wrist. She had overheard the two talking and knew that this place was very dangerous.
"There's a mechanism in the ceiling..."
Before the words were even finished, the gilded ceiling collapsed with a deafening roar. Nine hundred and ninety-nine poisoned silver needles rained down like a torrential downpour.
In such a confined space, with such a dense array of poisoned needles, even a top expert might not be able to advance. Yet, they hovered eerily three inches away from the two of them—Xiao Chen's left hand formed a seal, and the energy generated by the flip of his right wrist condensed the hidden weapons into an ice curtain.
"Hold me tight," he whispered amidst the swirling ice crystals. Before Dongfang Ruyi could react, she was enveloped in a pine-scented embrace. Xiao Chen leaped into the air, and the frozen silver needles suddenly rained down like a storm of pear blossoms.
At the same time, an alloy gate at the door of the room was lowered to prevent the two from escaping.
Dongfang Ruyi heard her own heart pounding, unsure whether it was the lingering poison from the Ten Fragrant Softening Powder or the ambergris scent emanating from the stranger's sleeves. As Xiao Chen carried her onto the wreckage of the crystal chandelier, the alarms on the entire floor simultaneously went off.
Xiao Chen suddenly grabbed Dongfang Ruyi's chin. This seemingly offensive action was performed with effortless grace. The moment his fingertips pressed against her Mingmen acupoint, Dongfang Ruyi felt her frozen meridians begin to warm up.
"Can you still use your lightness skill?"
They sped across the sloping ground. Dongfang Ruyi saw that Xiao Chen's every step left frost patterns on the marble, the ice crystals forming the shapes of the Qimen Dunjia (a form of Chinese divination). As the last alloy gate closed before them, Xiao Chen suddenly pushed her behind him.
A dragon's roar resounded.
The white mist rising from Xiao Chen condensed into the shape of a coiled dragon, roaring as it crashed into the three-meter-thick gate. Frost spread across the metal surface at a visible speed, and under the assault of absolute zero, the alloy, which was said to be able to withstand missiles, shattered like paper!
Xiao Chen was like a god descending to earth; nothing could stop him.
He led Dongfang Ruyi through the obstacles and out of the presidential suite.
Although Song Wenjie and the Master of Ceremonies were nowhere to be seen, Xiao Chen was not in a hurry at all.
They can't escape.
"Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder, is it?" Xiao Chen looked at Dongfang Ruyi and used his true energy to help her expel the poison from her body.
This was not difficult for him.
However, after the Ten Fragrant Softening Powder was used to clear the blockage, Dongfang Ruyi's condition did not improve.
Her face was flushed as she stared intently at Xiao Chen.
Her breathing became erratic and seductive.
“You…you wouldn’t be…” Xiao Chen felt a surge of familiarity.
She looked just like this when Xia Liuli forced herself on him.
The difference is that Xia Liuli took the initiative, while Dongfang Ruyi's situation was worse.
She was clearly under the influence of an aphrodisiac, and not just any ordinary one.
"They fed me medicine, and if the effects of the medicine aren't released, my meridians will rupture..." Dongfang Ruyi said in a low voice.
At this moment, she could no longer maintain her aloofness; she could no longer control the potent effects of the drug.
Desire was about to devour her body!
