Chapter 31: Side-Effect
‘Such action can only be done by disgusting human beings.’ Yang Wei clenched his fist tightly when he saw the pain in Elder Jing’s face.
Although Elder Jing did not utter any words of pain, her expression has betrayed her since she is extracting poison that has been haunting deep inside her bones.
“Continue extracting the poison and don’t worry about the remnants outside.” Old Ling said as he used his true qi to eliminate the tiny little creature in the black liquid.
They were little creatures that were borne from the powerful toxin and it was them that caused Elder Jing’s cultivation to deteriorate.
It was disgusting looking and Elder Jing continued to leak out many more little creatures from her arm that were cut open beforehand.
‘What are those little creatures’ origins?’ Yang Wei ponders inwardly without speaking his thoughts aloud.
Right now, Elder Jing and Old Ling are concentrating on dealing with the poison and if he were to interrupt them for a moment of curiosity, then he is even worse than the people that harmed Elder Jing.
The process continued for a long time before Elder Jing suddenly spitted out some black blood.
“Cough, finally this poison in my body is finally out,” Elder Jing laughs when she’s finally free from the torment.
However, Old Ling simply smiled secretly when Elder Jing thought everything was over now.
“Little Jing, do you feel any heat rising up from your body?” Old Ling said while moving back a bit.
Yang Wei was suspicious by the sudden change of behavior in Old Ling but couldn’t come up with the weird part.
“Uh, now that Senior Ling mentioned it, I do feel a sudden heat rising up in my core.” Elder Jing replied softly when she concentrated her focus.
Yang Wei at this time tried to catch up to Old Ling who was still backing off but alas, it was too late.
Old Ling flew high up in the air and said, “Yang Wei, this is my parting gift to you. Treat her well and make her a mature woman today.”
*Swoosh*
That was the final word that Old Ling said before flying off somewhere without giving them a chance to reply.
“Senior Ling, what do you mean by parting gift?” Yang Wei shouted one last time in hope that he’ll get a clear meaning of his word.
“Y-Yang Wei,” When Yang Wei tried to chase after Old Ling, Elder Jing from behind suddenly called out to him.
Turning his attention back to Elder Jing, Yang Wei was dumbstruck by the sweats that keep coming out from Elder Jing.
It wasn’t just on her forehead but her body parts were completely soaked and he could see the bras she used to wear.
*Gulp*
Yang Wei swallowed some of his saliva into his throat nervously and tried to turn around but his eye wouldn’t listen.
Yang Wei was looking at Elder Jing who is now extremely enchanting and blood started coming out from his nose.
“Why are you nosebleeding?” Elder Jing asked in concern since she still hasn’t recognized her current condition.
Covering his nose with his hand, Yang Wei hurriedly shook his head and did not let Elder Jing realize the scene he’s feasting on.
“N-Nothing Elder Jing, it’s just that the weather here is starting to become a little too hot,” Yang Wei said as an excuse.
It was another terrible lie and Elder Jing detected the abnormality from his behavior.
When Elder Jing tried to get up, she finally took notice that she was sweating a lot and glanced below her to see what’s going on.
Yang Wei shivered in fear when he saw Elder Jing staring at her two soaking bosoms that are see-through now.
Thanks to the sweat, the clothes were wet and no longer hides the interior which became a feast for Yang Wei’s eye.
Before giving Elder Jing a chance to start venting her anger on him, Yang Wei started running to escape.
“YANG WEI,” Elder Jing screamed in anger and started using her gravity pressure on Yang Wei.
Yang Wei instantly fell down with his face kissing the ground. ‘Oh god, Elder Jing is mad but it wasn’t my fault that she soaked her clothes.’
Yang Wei tried to reason and defend himself but in the end, kept his mouth shut since explaining further will only make things worse for him.
Meanwhile, Elder Jing tried to use her cultivation to dry her clothes up but to no avail.
As soon as she tried to use her cultivation, she became weaker and continued to sweat more.
Her mouth became dry and her eyes started to become dizzy. She tried to walk up and pummel Yang Wei but stagger and lost balance.
The gravity pressure on Yang Wei disappeared and he slowly got up to see what’s wrong.
“Elder Jing,” Yang Wei shouted in worry and rushed toward Elder Jing where her lips were dry.
“Elder Jing, are you okay? What’s happening?” Yang Wei asked while looking somewhere for water.
“Y-Yang Wei…. my body is hot and I feel dehydrated,” Elder Jing said weakly while being embraced by Yang Wei.
“Water, what happened to the water well?” Yang Wei said in panic when the water well on the side disappeared.
Without water, there was no way to rehydrate Elder Jing’s current condition. Yang Wei has tried to inject some of his true qi to rehydrate her but it didn’t work.
“Yang Wei, that’s the side-effect from consuming the pill to extract her poison. Just water alone is not enough to hydrate her condition. You’ll need to offer your saliva since it’s infused with your true qi.”
From nowhere, Old Ling’s voice echoed to them where his laughter could be heard before vanishing.
“Damn you, Old Ling” Yang Wei said in rage when Old Ling planned this out.
‘No wonder why he kept looking at me in amusement when he helped Elder Jing extract the poison.’ Yang Wei may have leered at Elder Jing’s enchanting body but he wouldn’t take advantage of her.
“Y-Yang Wei, I can’t take this heat anymore,” While Yang Wei tried to remain calm, Elder Jing’s seductive voice was making everything more difficult.
