Take It All, Eat It All

"My god, that figure, that face—now that's a woman! The best of the best!"

Great Yin Dynasty, Ping'an County, Black Water Town, the storeroom in the rear courtyard of Benevolent Heart Medicine Hall.

Jiang Feng hid behind rows of medicine shelves, holding his breath as he peered with one eye at the graceful figure standing in the moonlight not far away.

She was a breathtakingly beautiful woman, with delicate features as if meticulously painted, brows that swept toward her temples, and slightly upturned eyes. She was tall and well-proportioned, with a slender, strong waist and long, straight legs.

Most striking of all was her unusual silver-white hair. Under the moonlight, it seemed to shimmer, adding a touch of aloofness to her already cool demeanor.

With a face and figure like hers, she was a peerless beauty. It was impossible not to want to get closer to her.

Still, Jiang Feng knew his place. He had only recently transmigrated into this world, and his status was still that of a lowly apprentice.

In this dangerous world, merely surviving was a problem. A woman like her was destined to have nothing to do with him.

"It's already midnight. Why would Li Muxue, the young lady of Spring and Autumn Martial Arts Hall, be somewhere like this?"

Jiang Feng was puzzled.

As he pondered, he suddenly heard a string of unsteady footsteps approaching quickly. He hurriedly crouched lower, concealing himself even more thoroughly.

The sound caught Li Muxue's attention too. She lifted her gaze and looked toward it.

A young man came into view. His clothes were fine, but he had a pointed mouth, sunken cheeks, and a thoroughly lecherous face.

The man grinned. "Miss Li, you're right on time, as expected. I'm the host, yet I'm the one who's late. I truly am ashamed."

He said he was ashamed, but his expression was utterly unconcerned.

His beady eyes had already begun roaming impatiently over Li Muxue's alluring figure, like a starving wolf eyeing a juicy slab of meat.

Li Muxue's brows immediately knitted together.

"You told me that if I came here tonight, you would arrange for Benevolent Heart Medicine Hall to give Spring and Autumn Martial Arts Hall priority in supplying medicine. Does that still stand?"

"Of course! Benevolent Heart Medicine Hall is the Wu Family's business. Here, what I, Wu Han, say is the law. No one would dare say a word against it!"

Wu Han held his head high and waved his folding fan with a loud whoosh, arrogance radiating from him.

"Besides, your father is discussing the marriage between our families with my father. Before long, you might be my lawfully wedded wife.

"When that happens, Spring and Autumn Martial Arts Hall will practically be part of my own family business. Wouldn't it be only natural for me to lend a hand? Muxue, don't you agree?"

Li Muxue's brows furrowed even more deeply.

Her father had indeed brought it up. Though she was deeply unwilling, the matter concerned the survival of the martial arts hall, and she had no room to refuse.

Listening to their conversation from behind the medicine shelves, Jiang Feng couldn't help clicking his tongue.

"That bastard Wu Han's fiancée? Damn, that son of a bitch sure has the luck of the devil."

As an apprentice at the Medicine Hall, he knew Wu Han's beastly nature better than Li Muxue did.

His predecessor had once had a charming childhood sweetheart. But when that bastard found out about her, he sent men to seize her without so much as a word—and even raped her right in front of his predecessor!

His predecessor had tried to get justice, but not only had Wu Han's guards beaten him black and blue—

Wu Han had even pointed at his nose and cursed while enjoying his childhood sweetheart's body:

"Who told you to be born poor? You don't deserve a woman this good.

"Lowly trash like you were born to spend your whole lives as servants.

"Your woman belongs to me now.

"Got a problem with that? Then swallow it!"

Under that crushing humiliation, his predecessor had died in a fit of rage and grief. It was at that moment that the current Jiang Feng had been reborn in this body.

Since then, he hadn't been driven out of the Medicine Hall, but his daily workload had more than tripled.

The official excuse had been that it would "lay the groundwork for him to stand on his own one day."

But Jiang Feng knew perfectly well that the bastard was deliberately targeting him, trying to squeeze him dry.

If Li Muxue really married a filthy, shameless scumbag like him, she would be thrown into a bottomless abyss. Her future would be as miserable as it could possibly get.

Of course, he wasn't about to stick his nose into their business. They were clearly engaging in a mutually willing exchange of benefits. What the hell did that have to do with an outsider like him?

So what if Li Muxue was beautiful? He wasn't going to let his hormones do the thinking.

Keep his head down and grow stronger steadily—that was the way to go!

Jiang Feng had already decided to find a chance to leave this troublesome place. But in the very next moment, events took a turn completely beyond his expectations.

"Miss Li, the moonlight is lovely tonight. Why don't you come with me to Moon Gazing Pavilion to admire it?"

As Wu Han spoke, he edged toward Li Muxue step by step. "I've already booked a private room there. Don't worry, it'll just be you and me, with no one else to disturb us. We can drink and chat together. Wouldn't that be delightful?"

He claimed he wanted to admire the moon, but his beady eyes remained glued to Li Muxue's full, enticing chest, never straying for even a moment.

His wolfish intentions were plain for all to see.

"Hmph. I'm not going to a lecherous place like that.

"Just tell me what you want. If it's something I can do, I'll do everything in my power to accommodate you."

Li Muxue's utterly decisive refusal made Wu Han's expression turn ugly.

But he didn't get angry. Instead, he put on a gentle smile and took a small porcelain bottle from his robes, holding it out to her.

"Miss Li, you're truly devoted to your martial arts hall. I deeply admire you.

"Look, this is our Medicine Hall's newly improved Blood-Qi Pill. It's even more effective than before. Try it first, then we can discuss what I want."

Li Muxue hadn't expected him to do that.

She glanced at him in confusion, then looked down at the small porcelain bottle in her hand.

She pulled out the stopper, and a strange medicinal fragrance wafted out.

She took out a few pills and sniffed them in her palm. They did smell like Blood-Qi Pills, but she didn't eat them. Instead, she looked at Wu Han suspiciously.

Wu Han shrugged with an exasperated expression.

"What? Are you afraid I'll hurt you? You're my fiancée, after all. I couldn't hurt you if I tried."

When he saw that the suspicion in Li Muxue's eyes hadn't changed, he took two pills from the bottle and swallowed them himself.

"Surely you believe me now. Go on, try them. The future cooperation between our families depends on this."

At the mention of cooperation, Li Muxue no longer hesitated and put the pills into her mouth.

Once he was sure she had swallowed them, Wu Han watched her exquisite face slowly turn red. The lecherous grin on his face was no longer even slightly concealed.

He grabbed Li Muxue by the arm and leered.

"Little beauty, I only have one demand: satisfy me tonight, and I'll consider whether to supply you with medicine."

Li Muxue was horrified. She never would have imagined that he would dare be so brazen as to try to force himself on her here!

"Wu Han, you're asking for death!"

Li Muxue shouted furiously and swung her fist at his leering face!

But the instant she threw that punch, she realized something was wrong.

She couldn't summon the blood and qi in her body at all. Her arm had gone limp and weak, and Wu Han caught it with his other hand.

"Hahaha, lost your strength, little beauty?

"Do you think I'd face a Skin-Refining Realm martial artist without preparing for every possibility?

"I added a little something to the pills you just took: Moon Gazing Pavilion's Soul Softening Powder. Are you feeling a raging fire in your body now, craving a man?"

Li Muxue's already fair face instantly turned even paler.

"You... you shameless bastard! You drugged me! My father will never let you get away with this!"

The desire in Wu Han's body had flared up too. His laughter grew even more brazen.

"Hahaha! I can just marry you, can't I? Once we've consummated things, maybe your father will be glad it happened.

"But you can't be my principal wife. A freak born with white hair—if your body weren't so damn fine, I wouldn't take you as a concubine even if you begged me!"

The words enraged Li Muxue. She wanted to retort, but the drug's effects had already fully taken hold.

Her sharp phoenix eyes grew hazy, and she let out a series of enticing whimpers. Her hands began tearing at her clothes on their own, exposing her tightly bound breasts and a wide expanse of alluring pale skin.

Wu Han had long since lost control of himself. He had used three times the dose to make sure he could drug Li Muxue in one go. He had to find an outlet quickly!

"Hahaha! Tonight, I finally get you, my pretty little beauty. Let me have my fill!

"I'll make you experience the pleasure of being a woman, so happy you'll feel like you're in heaven!"

Just as his hand was about to seize her enticing fullness, a sharp rush of wind came from behind his head.

With a muffled thud, a granite slab exploded against the back of his head.

Two streams of blood shot from Wu Han's nostrils, and he staggered.

He was completely dazed.

Wait, this was his own turf. How had he been ambushed? Who would dare?!

"Who... who is it?!"

He turned around with all his might, trying to see who had ambushed him and ruined his fun. But he saw no one—only another stone slab rapidly swelling in his vision.

Bang!

The second slab shattered, and Wu Han toppled to the ground, unconscious.

"Truly a beast. All he knows is using underhanded tricks. Even a good-natured person like me can't stand to watch."

Naturally, the one who had launched the sneak attack was Jiang Feng. As an upright and honorable man, he truly couldn't bear to see such despicable tactics.

After confirming that Wu Han was indeed unconscious, he set down the third stone slab and pulled off his face covering.

Seeing Wu Han's unconscious body still moving back and forth, he felt a chill of disgust.

"Is this drug really that strong? If he stays pent up all night, won't it hurt him?"

Jiang Feng was kindhearted, after all. After searching Wu Han's body, he grabbed him by the collar and tossed him straight into the pigsty in the rear courtyard.

"Consider what you had on you compensation for what you did to my predecessor."

After making sure there wouldn't be any problems, he hurried back to check on Li Muxue.

But as soon as he stepped into the storeroom, a burning-hot, delicate body threw itself into his arms.

Soft, scorching, and fragrant.

"Miss Li, please come to your senses..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Feng froze.

By now, Li Muxue had shed nearly all her clothes. Her pale skin and enticing fullness were fully exposed before him.

Her eyes held not the slightest trace of reason. They were filled with searing desire and naked longing.
