Chapter 143: Aphrodisiac

Lu Zheng floated above a large expanse of grass. Below him was a large crater from which blue lightning exploded from.

Lu Zheng's pupils glistened: "This rank seven Fire Hound is truly weak"

He had accepted a mission with Houyan Meili to kill some high rank beasts that roamed around the outskirts of a small Sect.

The beasts were mostly rank five and rank six beasts and only a few were rank seven beasts. Even on his own, they were only so-so.

Lu Zheng descended and cut the beast apart, storing its meat, bones and beast core. The rest were burnt with the Vermillion True Flame.

~I wonder how Houyan Meili is doing now. Perhaps I should join her~

Lu Zheng and Houyan Meili were separated earlier when they were fighting the beasts. It had already been a long while since then.

Lu Zheng's body shimmered as afterimages formed behind him. After releasing his Sea of Consciousness, his true body disappeared in a burst of speed.

…..

Standing on a field were three people, two men and a woman. The woman was especially beautiful and if Lu Zheng was here, he would recognise her as Houyan Meili.

Currently, the atmosphere between the three people was hostile and even a fool could tell that they were enemies.

"You bastards! What do you think you're doing here?" Houyan Meili's voice was as cold and sharp as ever. Her face was a mix of indifference and anger.

The two men before her were enemies she had made during a mission some time ago. The last time they had met, she had beaten both men to a pulp.

She did not expect to meet them again.

"What do you mean, beautiful? Don't you feel nostalgic just from seeing us?" One of the men beamed a warm smile.

His face was covered with red pimples as large as an eyeball and his nose was round and short. His hair was a muddy brown and his fingers were long and bony. In total, his figure was extremely repulsive to see.

"The poison should be kicking in now" The other man said.

Unlike the first man, he seemed decent and had three spatial rings on each hand. From a glance, one could tell that he was very wealthy.

Houyan Meili's body shook as she coughed up mouthfuls of blood. Her face became a pale shade of white.

"What have you done to me?" Houyan Meili was surprised. In all her lifetime, this was the first time she would be feeling ill.

"Nothing much" The ugly man still wore his smile. "Last time we met, you nearly killed us over a simple rank six fire path cultivation material. The indifferent face you had that day still haunts me in my dreams. Now, Master Caius has refined a very potent poison that can breakdown even your strong immune system. Within moments, your body will weaken and you will fall into the bottomless abyss of lust. Then, we shall make you our plaything"

Houyan Meili felt a wave of disgust wash over her: "Aphrodisiac?"

"Miss Houyan is quite strong. The others I tested this poison on had already lost their sanity at this point yet you can still reason. You Vermillion Birds really are something" Caius said with a tinge of respect.

"Hmph!" The ugly man snorted. "No matter how resilient she is, she'll be sucking us dry soon"

"Arrgh! Lecherous bastards!" Houyan Meili bellowed in rage as pink and red Vermillion True Flames appeared on her arm.

Bloodline power exploded as the aura of death dawned on the two men before her. Fire path and soul path aura filled the environment.

"How is she still able to use her bloodline?" The men were stunned to the core.

Houyan Meili swung her arm forward as Vermillion True Flames engulfed them, incinerating them at once. Not even their souls were spared.

Her tempting body shivered involuntarily. It was obvious that Caius' poison was still effective.

With a flash of pink radiance, Houyan Meili's body disappeared, leaving a flurry of afterimages behind.

…..

Lu Zheng flew through the blue sky towards where he sensed Houyan Meili's life aura.

~Here she is~

Houyan Meili's lithe body appeared on the horizon and was swiftly approaching Lu Zheng, leaving a thick trail of pink flames behind her.

Even as she neared him, her speed did not reduce one bit.

"What are you…?" Lu Zheng was confused as Houyan Meili grabbed him, clinging to him tightly. Her topaz blue eyes were burning with fervent lust.
