98: You Have to Take Responsibility for Me

Shen Yifei had spotted numerous surveillance cameras in Luo Tianyao's room on the cruise ship. With his skills, it would have been easy to disable them, but he hadn't. The Luo family wasn't stupid; a quick investigation would reveal he was responsible. So Shen Yifei decided to put on a show for the Luo family to watch. He would also use old Wu as a test, to see how deep the Luo family's power ran. While he had learned a bit about them from his martial sister, he still didn't know how many masters they had. If they were all like old Wu, he had nothing to worry about. He arrived at the parking lot by the Golden Dragon Pier and carried Su Muqing into her BMW.

The BMW's engine roared to life and it sped off. Shen Yifei drove with one arm while holding Su Muqing with the other. In a few breaths, the car hit 230 kph, leaving Golden Dragon Pier behind like a bolt of lightning. The Luo family would probably go insane when they saw Luo Tianyao's state tomorrow. Thinking of this, a cold smile spread across Shen Yifei's face.

Just then, Su Muqing seemed to wake up in his arms. Her breathing was shallow, and her lips let out faint, alluring moans.

The potion was taking effect! Shen Yifei's face grew serious. He had to find a place to take her to neutralize the poison.

This wasn't an ordinary poison. It was difficult to remove, and if it wasn't purged by dual cultivation (a cultivation practice in which two people, typically a man and a woman, cultivate together by combining their energies), the drug's heat could burn her alive! Su Muqing's hands became restless, and her warm lips began kissing Shen Yifei wildly. Even with his strong self-control, Shen Yifei was overwhelmed by her frantic actions. His ears burned and his heart pounded. An alluring beauty was throwing herself at him, and he had feelings for her.

An ordinary man would have succumbed to the temptation and taken advantage of her, a thought that had crossed Shen Yifei's mind, but he wanted to respect Su Muqing. Until she fell in love with him, Shen Yifei didn't want to possess her this way. Besides, he still wasn't truly free. Shen Yifei wasn't a good man, but for Su Muqing, he was willing to try to be one.

Su Muqing restlessly tried to take off her evening gown, but Shen Yifei stopped her with one hand.

"I owe you one!" Shen Yifei groaned, patting her head. The taste of a forbidden fruit that he couldn't have was enough to drive a man crazy.

The BMW stopped in front of a hotel. Shen Yifei held Su Muqing and walked into the hotel, getting a double room. He rode the elevator up and opened the door to room 406 with the key card.

"Shen Yifei... I'm hot..." Su Muqing's hot breath on his ear made Shen Yifei's heart pound. If he delayed any longer, he might not be able to control himself. He worked to clear his mind of the impure thoughts and laid Su Muqing on the bed. Immediately, Su Muqing started to take off her clothes. Shen Yifei didn't stop her. Instead, he helped.

Her smooth, fair skin was now fully exposed. Su Muqing wrapped her arms around Shen Yifei, her hands moving restlessly in a way that was not suitable for a children's story. Shen Yifei gave a wry smile at the tempting scene. The flame he had just extinguished reignited. He went into the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face until he calmed down.

Then, Shen Yifei took out a small, exquisite box from his jacket, from which he pulled out nine silver needles. After the treatment, Shen Yifei carried Su Muqing to the bathroom, gave her a bath, wrapped her in a towel, and laid her on the bed. Su Muqing fell into a deep sleep.

Su Muqing had a dream, a ridiculous and embarrassing dream. In it, she was shamelessly seducing Shen Yifei, making all kinds of suggestive moves. It seemed Shen Yifei couldn't resist her, either. He took off her clothes, and then... nothing. The next day, morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, illuminating the bed. Su Muqing slowly opened her hazy eyes.

Her head felt a little dizzy, but her spirits were high. "Xiaoxiao?" Su Muqing mumbled, still half-asleep. She thought Liu Xiaoxiao was sleeping next to her. Soon, Su Muqing realized something was wrong. This wasn't her home! She turned over and found herself wearing only a towel. "W-what happened to me?" Su Muqing rubbed her eyes, and the sight next to her startled her. A man was sleeping next to her! It was Shen Yifei.

His physique was tall and slender, his bare torso revealing tight, toned muscles. Two jagged bullet scars were on his right shoulder. Su Muqing's mind went blank, and she immediately remembered her dream. "Oh my god, the dream was real!" A strong sense of shame made Su Muqing cover her face with her hands. Although the drug was powerful, she had retained some awareness, and the memories of what had happened yesterday slowly came back to her. Shen Yifei opened his eyes and woke up. "Damn it." He had been emotionally drained from treating Su Muqing yesterday. The "treatment" had felt like a year.

"Sh... Shen Yifei!" Su Muqing shrieked, grabbing the blanket and scooting away.

"I mean, Miss Su, you don't have to look at me like I'm a monster, do you?" Shen Yifei said, scratching his head. "W-what did you do to me?" Su Muqing asked, both shy and shocked. Shen Yifei smiled. "Last night, a certain female demon's hands and feet were a bit restless, so I helped her by giving her some medical treatment, and a bath, and I also got a good look at her body.

It's not bad at all." "Pfft!" Su Muqing choked. Her face turned bright red, right down to her ears. "Shen Yifei, d-d-did you... did you do anything bad to me?" Su Muqing asked, her face completely crimson and panicked. Shen Yifei's lips curled into a smile. "You know what happened in your heart." Su Muqing felt that Shen Yifei probably hadn't done anything to her.

A woman's body, after all, knows. But the thought of the embarrassing things she did last night made Su Muqing want to find a hole to crawl into. "Oh my god, this is so humiliating!" Su Muqing was so ashamed that she bit her lip and shouted at Shen Yifei, "Shen Yifei! You have to take responsibility for me!"

"Huh?" Shen Yifei was stunned. "I don't care! You saw me... you touched me... you held me... you have to take responsibility for me!" Su Muqing said incoherently, tears welling up in her eyes. Shen Yifei sighed inwardly. "That's so unfair to me. I should have just taken advantage of you and then been responsible for you."
