Poisoned Bai Lian: A Strange Path to Healing

However, what seemed like a moment of victory quickly turned into a complicated situation. Bai Lian began experiencing strange symptoms and suddenly started sweating profusely, showing signs of discomfort and restlessness.

Feng Wei, who had been meditating nearby with his eyes closed, noticed Bai Lian's change and opened his eyes. With a sarcastic tone, he commented, "I warned you that you would regret harvesting that herb. Are you foolish? Even with your level of cultivation, didn't you realize there was a beast guarding the herb and that the poison was placed to protect it?"

Bai Lian responded with a mix of irritation and concern, "You don't have to be so presumptuous. Besides, there was no other way to know about the poison without harvesting the herb."

As time went on, Bai Lian's condition worsened, and she turned to Feng Wei. The poison she inadvertently activated had potent properties, and she was feeling its effects growing more intense.

Feng Wei approached and carefully examined Bai Lian. He said, "From the symptoms your body is showing, this is no ordinary poison: flushed face, increased heart rate, rapid breathing, feeling of warmth, tingling skin, heightened sensitivity."

Bai Lian, thinking to herself, was impressed by Feng Wei's analysis: "He was able to notice all these details with just a glance? This boy is definitely not ordinary. Maybe he has a master or someone supporting him."

She asked, trying not to let her nervousness show, "You don't seem surprised by this situation. Have you seen these symptoms somewhere before?"

Feng Wei replied calmly, "What? Haven't you realized? This poison has aphrodisiac properties mixed with blood python venom. If it's not properly treated within 3 hours, consider the risk of the poison spreading through your body and reaching your heart, resulting in a critical state."

Bai Lian grew tenser with the news, but soon an idea sparked in her mind, "If you know this, then you must know how to help me, right?" She asked, now with a touch of hope in her voice.

Feng Wei put his hand on his chin and smiled enigmatically, "I have a method to solve this, but first, answer me a question. We have my problem, your problem, and our problem. However, this problem is neither mine nor ours. So, whose problem is this, Bai Lian?" His smile vanished, revealing an irritated expression.

Bai Lian clenched her teeth in understanding of Feng Wei's question. She was beginning to lose patience with his approach.

Feng Wei didn't wait for the answer and continued, "That's right, this problem is yours."

Her facial expression turned somber, "Do I need to remind you who you're talking to?" She released her pressure, one that would normally intimidate most people, but Feng Wei remained calm and unshaken.

"...And?" His calm and defiant expression surprised Bai Lian, who wasn't used to encountering such resistance from others.

Feng Wei asked again tranquilly, "...And? What does that have to do with me?"

She knew her options were limited; if she ended up dying, who would take the young lady back or protect her? Controlling her frustration, she finally sighed and asked with a resigned voice, "What do you want in exchange for helping me?"

Feng Wei, with a calculating look, seemed to be weighing his response. He maintained his firm posture before finally saying, "Now we're talking. I want you to do something for me in return."

Bai Lian pressed her lips, holding on tightly not to collapse. "Alright, tell me what it is."

With seriousness, Feng Wei listed his conditions: "First, I want you to protect me for a while. Six months should suffice. Second, once we resolve the poison situation, I want you to come with me out of the secret realm. And lastly, and most importantly, I want you to never threaten me or try to use your status to manipulate me again. If you do that again, I will be seriously annoyed." With a somber expression, he released a brief but intense killing intent to make it clear he wasn't joking.

Her voice wavered, showing the whirlwind of emotions she was facing. "Y-you..." Bai Lian began to respond, trembling slightly, but she quickly calmed down as she knew she had no choice, "Alright, I agree to your conditions."

Feng Wei nodded in satisfaction. However, Bai Lian's situation was deteriorating rapidly. Her body could no longer resist the effects of the poison, and she fell unconscious. Feng Wei acted instinctively, holding her in his arms before she could fall onto the cold cave floor.

Bai Lian seemed fragile in his arms. His spiritual sense moved to a certain object on the cave floor.

Without looking at the ethereal stone, a sinister smile played on his lips as he quickly began to formulate a plan. He knew this situation could be an opportunity to play with appearances.

Pretending determination, he started to remove Bai Lian's garments, as if it were part of a necessary procedure to initiate treatment. Each movement was calculated, every gesture meticulous. He left her only in her underclothes, maintaining an expression of concern and care on his face, knowing the scene was being recorded on the ethereal stone.

Then he began stroking her soft skin with his fingertips, sending shivers through her entire body.

After thoroughly familiarizing herself with the feel of bai lian's body, feng wei moved her hands to her lower body at the same time as sending out spirit energy, gently sliding her fingers along her slender legs, before teasing the cleft between her legs over the pretty fabric.

Mmm~"

an unconscious Bai Lian moaned softly, as feng wei gently caressed the area around his private part. As he wanted it to look like medical treatment, feng wei didn't dare to touch her too intensely.

As he executed these actions, his thoughts revolved around the plan, skillfully navigating the environment to construct a scene that could be exploited in subsequent moments.

Superficially, he embodied the role of the hero, struggling to heal Bai Lian, but internally, his intentions revealed a cunning villain, meticulously plotting each step with precision. This duality between appearance and intention created an intriguing game of masks.
