Drugged

The strange sensation left Yuanfang utterly bewildered, a giant question mark practically appearing over his head.

He simply could not figure out what was happening. He had never felt anything like this before!

Besides, he had not paid much attention to the room earlier, but now that he looked around, the atmosphere seemed awfully suggestive!

Everything around him was pink, and the soft, enormous bed was covered in rose petals. One glance was enough to tell him that this was definitely not a bed meant for innocent purposes.

Not only that, but the strange fragrance wafting into his nose was clearly no ordinary scent. One whiff told him there was nothing innocent about it either.

"Let's go!"

Yuanfang shook his head hard, trying to clear his thoughts, then prepared to turn and leave.

Something felt off about this place. Since their business was already finished, there was no reason to stay any longer.

Just then, however, Yuki Tsukumo spoke up.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Have some water first! I've run into a few problems with my research, and I'd like to discuss them with you!"

As she spoke, she strode over to the water dispenser set up in the room on her long, shapely legs and poured Yuanfang a cup of water.

"I've already told you pretty much everything about my ability. What else is there to discuss?"

Seeing this, Yuanfang stopped rushing to leave and sat down on a pink sofa, looking puzzled.

He had never cared much about these things. Even if he did, he would not have understood a thing!

Rather than discussing it with him, she would be better off finding Satoru Gojo. Perhaps he could offer her some useful inspiration.

"Your cursed technique isn't as simple as you made it sound, is it?"

After handing Yuanfang a cup of water, Yuki Tsukumo sat beside him. She took a sip of her own water and spoke with a mischievous smile.

"In that case, what do you think my cursed technique is?"

He had already guessed that Yuki Tsukumo would notice something unusual about his cursed technique and question him about it eventually.

Still, he had not expected her to catch on so quickly. He had to admit that she was exceptionally perceptive.

"You originally said your cursed technique erased cursed energy. In reality, it absorbs cursed energy!"

As she spoke, Yuki Tsukumo elegantly crossed her long legs, making Yuanfang sneak another couple of glances at them.

"What makes you say that?"

Yuanfang was puzzled. Why did Yuki Tsukumo seem sexier today than she ever had before?

He was very confident in his self-control. Surely it should have held up better than this!

Yuki Tsukumo was always at his house. He had seen her countless times.

All she had done today was wear a pair of tiny denim shorts. Sure, they had caught his eye, but they should not have been this tempting!

"Using a cursed technique must require your own cursed energy to sustain it. So when you erase someone else's cursed technique or cursed energy, you should be consuming a great deal of your own energy, too. You wouldn't be able to maintain your technique for long."

Yuki Tsukumo paused, set down her cup, and moved a little closer to Yuanfang before continuing with a knowing smile.

"You and I both know exactly how powerful Satoru Gojo is.

"If you were erasing his cursed energy and cursed technique, your own cursed energy shouldn't last very long! Yet you can keep going no matter how much cursed energy he releases or how he uses his technique. That simply doesn't make sense!"

By this point, Yuki's face was almost touching Yuanfang's ear. Her sweet, musky breath brushed against him as she spoke, making him shiver.

"So the most logical explanation is that your cursed technique absorbs the cursed energy other people release and uses it to sustain itself!"

Looking at those delicate lips mere inches away, Yuanfang immediately leaned back in a tactical retreat and said, a little embarrassed,

"I never thought you'd figure even that out. Nothing gets past you!"

Yuki Tsukumo paid little attention to his praise. Instead, his tactical retreat left her somewhat displeased.

She silently considered that the drug still needed a little more time to take full effect.

Then another sly smile curled her lips as she continued analyzing Yuanfang's cursed technique.

"That shouldn't be all there is to it. The cursed energy you absorb must have other uses, too!

"Both times I asked you to help erase my cursed energy, I noticed that you seemed to have a strong craving for it!"

"Don't overthink it. Absorbing cursed energy just helps me understand my own cursed technique better!"

Yuanfang inwardly groaned. If Yuki Tsukumo kept talking, she would probably lay all his secrets bare.

Why hadn't the original author mentioned that this woman was so smart?

If I'd known beforehand, I would've been twice as wary of her instead of letting myself get cornered like this.

At that thought, Yuanfang tugged at his sleeve. The room felt like a steamer, so hot it was suffocating.

And why did Yuki Tsukumo seem more alluring and irresistible every time he looked at her?

Suddenly, Yuanfang realized something was wrong. Wasn't this the exact fucking setup from those porn videos I'd watched?

Alarm rose in him as he looked at Yuki Tsukumo's persistent wicked smile. Had she really become this deranged?

Was she willing to go this far just to ensure my cursed technique was passed down and create her ideal world?

At that thought, Yuanfang suddenly felt his mind teetering like a sandcastle on the verge of collapse, ready to crumble at any moment.

He knew he could not let this continue. Otherwise, this woman would get exactly what she wanted.

Yuanfang acted immediately, using Reverse Cursed Technique to try to neutralize the harmful effects in his body.

Yet the moment he used it, he was dumbfounded. It had not helped in the slightest. How was that possible?!

Yuki Tsukumo noticed the change in Yuanfang's expression, too. She knew the drug was taking effect.

No longer hiding her intentions, she threw herself into Yuanfang's arms with a triumphant look and said in a sweet voice,

"I knew you could use Reverse Cursed Technique, so I specially prepared this unusual drug. You can't get rid of it!"

By then, Yuanfang could barely make out what Yuki Tsukumo was saying. His attention was drawn to the soft, shapely body in his arms. His mouth went dry, and his body seemed to slip beyond his control.

At that moment, a crow stood silently on the windowsill, taking in the entire scene!

"Should I save him or not? After all, it doesn't look like the kid's getting a bad deal!"

Below the love hotel, Mei Mei muttered to herself, feeling torn.

She happened to have a mission that night and had originally planned to take Yuanfang along.

But after seeing Yuki Tsukumo pick him up, she had decided to leave it and ask Yuanfang to join her tomorrow instead.

Curiosity had brought her here anyway. Now, faced with such an intense scene, she was at a loss.

After all, while Yuki Tsukumo was clearly taking advantage of Yuanfang, considering her figure and her strength, it would hardly be an exaggeration to say he was getting quite a bargain.
