The sudden appearance of a Tier 2 Illusion Desire Python made Yun Yun's pretty face change slightly. A mere Tier 2 Magical Beast would have been no more than something she could casually kill before, but now the Amethyst Seal restricted her. Although she had managed to summon a little Battle Qi through two days of effort, it was still a drop in the bucket.
But Yun Yun didn't hesitate in the slightest. A strange long sword glimmering with a faint green light appeared in her hand, and her beautiful eyes fixed on the Illusion Desire Python. Even though she could only bring a tenth or two of her strength to bear, she would still have little trouble dealing with a Tier 2 Magical Beast.
What the beautiful sect leader feared was that if she fought the Illusion Desire Python, the disturbance might interrupt Gu Shenge's pill refinement and ruin all his efforts.
The Illusion Desire Python caught the increasingly rich pill fragrance and could no longer suppress its craving for the pill. Like a spring, it shot out of the spring's mouth, jaws wide, venomous fangs bared. A foul, fishy stench filled the air as it lunged straight at Gu Shenge!
"You're asking for death! Wind Form Spirit-Splitting Sword!"
Yun Yun immediately snapped, and sharp green Battle Qi surged over her body. With a slight wave of her slender hand, she swept her sword and condensed several green sword auras, each razor-sharp. Pointing the blade, she sent them slicing through the air like green crossbow bolts. They flew so fast that the Illusion Desire Python had no time to dodge, carving several ghastly wounds into its bare, scaleless flesh. Blood and flesh gaped open, the wounds so deep that bone showed.
"Hiss—"
The pain drove the Illusion Desire Python into an angry hiss. It turned its attention to Yun Yun and spewed out a large cloud of pink poisonous mist that billowed toward her.
But her graceful figure flashed away, retreating beyond the mist's reach. At the same time, green swordlight leaped through the air, a stroke of divine inspiration that pierced the Illusion Desire Python in the blink of an eye!
The Illusion Desire Python tried to raise its tail to block the attack, but the sharp wind-aspected Battle Qi sliced through it with ease. Its severed tail fell to the ground, blood gushing from the wound. The pain made it writhe and thrash, rolling around like a loach.
Seeing this, Yun Yun didn't pause for a moment. She rapidly formed hand seals, exhausting the last scraps of Battle Qi within her.
"Rift Wind Whirl Dance!"
The next moment, countless pale green wind blades appeared from nowhere and intertwined, forming a cylindrical mass bristling with blades. Spinning at high speed, it surged toward the Illusion Desire Python in a spiraling rush, shredding it on the spot. Its body became countless chunks of flesh, leaving only its head mostly intact as it dropped at the beautiful sect leader's feet.
Just a mere Tier 2 Magical Beast, and it had thought itself something special.
Yun Yun stood firm despite her exhausted Battle Qi, a trace of disdain in her beautiful eyes. Only her Battle Qi had been restricted; the rest of her abilities remained untouched.
She was about to swing her sword and cut off the python's head to eliminate any further danger, but the head suddenly opened its jaws and spat out another cloud of pink poisonous mist.
Caught off guard, Yun Yun had no time to dodge and was engulfed by the mist. Her hand still moved swiftly, however, and she sliced the python's head in half. But she couldn't avoid inhaling a fair amount of the poison, and her body began to feel strange.
Meanwhile, under Gu Shenge's control, the ripples of energy unleashed by the Po E Pill gradually subsided. He drew a smooth, pale purple pill marked with strange patterns from the Blazing Flame Cauldron. It was still warm, fresh from the cauldron.
Gu Shenge returned the Blazing Flame Cauldron to the System Space and held the Po E Pill in his hand. He had just turned toward Yun Yun when her strange condition startled him.
The beautiful sect leader's formerly fair skin had turned an abnormal shade of pink, and an alluring flush covered her pretty face. Her lively eyes had grown hazy and unfocused, completely taking Gu Shenge by surprise.
His gaze fell on the severed pink python head. He didn't recognize many Magical Beasts, but he knew quite a few snake-type ones, after all, he was a snake enthusiast himself.
Gu Shenge recognized the Illusion Desire Python at a glance, a lascivious serpent whose flesh, venom, and even the poisonous mist it spat out all contained aphrodisiac poison.
He hadn't been paying attention to it just now. After all, with Yun Yun's strength, she should have had no problem dealing with a Tier 2 Magical Beast, even while afflicted by the Amethyst Seal.
He simply hadn't expected her to be poisoned by the Illusion Desire Python after all. Perhaps this was the ordeal fate had in store for her.
Normally, she could have suppressed this aphrodisiac poison simply by circulating her Battle Qi.
But the beautiful sect leader had used up all her Battle Qi with Rift Wind Whirl Dance in order to finish the fight quickly, leaving her with none to draw upon and suppress the poison.
At that moment, Yun Yun felt unbearably hot. She could hardly resist the aphrodisiac poison's invasion; her mind gradually grew hazy, and her body began to sway. Her long, shapely legs trembled faintly, no longer able to support her delicate figure.
Seeing the beautiful sect leader in such a vulnerable state, Gu Shenge hurried forward and caught her.
It might have been fine if he hadn't touched her, but the moment he did, Yun Yun seemed to be roused. Deeply drawn to the pure, intensely masculine aura radiating from him, she began groping him with her jade-white hands. She even lifted her exquisite face, flushed red, her eyes growing more unfocused, brimming with an overwhelming, unquenchable desire that seemed ready to drown Gu Shenge. At last, she raised her head and kissed him on the lips, clinging to him in a passionate embrace!
"Mmm—"
Gu Shenge's eyes widened slightly. He felt the beautiful sect leader's warm, soft lips against his, as tender as tofu and springy as jelly. It was impossible to resist; he wanted the kiss to go on forever.
But this wasn't part of his plan, at least not here.
Suppressing the desire stirring in his mind, Gu Shenge raised a hand to stop Yun Yun, who was growing more and more uninhibited, from taking things further.
At the same time, a pill appeared at his fingertip. He flicked it into the beautiful sect leader's mouth and made her swallow it, then sent his Solar Dou Qi into her body to suppress the aphrodisiac poison.
The Antidote Pill took effect quickly, rapidly dispelling the Illusion Desire Python's aphrodisiac poison.
After everything she had been through, Yun Yun fainted. Perhaps it was from embarrassment, or perhaps she was simply mentally exhausted.
Looking down at the beautiful sect leader asleep in his arms, Gu Shenge felt a little regretful. He shook his head helplessly, laid her flat on the carpet, then used a wisp of Heavenly Flame to burn the Illusion Desire Python's head and chunks of flesh to ashes.
Honestly, how could Gu Shenge not be moved when such a gentle, stunning beauty like Yun Yun threw herself into his arms?
But what would happen after he made love to Yun Yun and she woke up? Perhaps she wouldn't say anything, but the affection they had built up over the past two days would surely be wiped clean.
In the end, their relationship was still a little too shallow. But after what had just happened, things between them would surely change once she woke up.
After all, in the original story, it was the aphrodisiac incident that changed Xiao Yan and Yun Yun's relationship. Without it, Xiao Yan would have been nothing more to Yun Yun than a young man who had helped her once.
In that regard, Gu Shenge ought to thank the Illusion Desire Python for lending him a hand.
As for forcing Yun Yun to become his wife, signing a Marriage Contract, and claiming the system reward, Gu Shenge thought that would be pointless.
In both his previous life and this one, Gu Shenge had held to one principle: different women called for different approaches. Some women suited a forceful, direct approach, like Medusa and Ya Fei; others needed to be wooed gradually, like Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun.
What he enjoyed was the process of winning the heart of a woman he liked, not simply pushing a woman into bed for a system reward.
