Zhou Heng was frolicking with the ladies in the courtyard; having been away for so many days, he naturally needed to comfort his delicate wives.
Bang!
A figure suddenly fell from the sky, hurtling straight into his arms.
Zhou Heng extended a palm but instantly withdrew it, as he had already sensed who was coming. The scent of fragrance filled his embrace as Yang Lanxin clung to him like an octopus, pressing tightly against him as if trying to squeeze into his body.
Why was this Seductive Woman so enthusiastic? Could it be because so many beauties from all the top families had given her a sense of crisis?
Zhou Heng chuckled to himself, but he immediately sensed something was wrong. The Seductive Woman’s body was burning hot, her pretty face flushed like it had been dyed, her watery eyes seductively alluring, and from her mouth issued a hot breath that seemed capable of setting a person on fire.
Poisoned by Charm Poison!
Zhou Heng knew from experience that Aphrodisiac was not a poison, but it was a hundred times more potent than poison, magnifying the desires of the body by a hundred, even a thousand times. The joy of men and women was a natural instinct, inescapable by anyone!
Even the Bone Talisman was powerless against it!
Zhou Heng was livid!
Of course, he did not believe that Yang Lanxin had consumed the Aphrodisiac for fun; certainly, someone had targeted her! He broke into a cold sweat, realizing that if it weren’t for Yang Lanxin’s strong will, allowing her to run to him before the Charm Poison ignited her desires, completely driven by instinct, wouldn’t he have ended up wearing a green, green hat?
A tall hat can be worn, but a green hat must never be touched!
Zhou Heng’s killing intent flared up in an instant. He could guess that the only ones capable of such an act were Lin Caijun and Liu Hanye!
But now was not the time to settle accounts with them; Yang Lanxin’s desire was like a raging fire, and he must put it out first!
The reason why Charm Poison is not considered a poison is that it does not require any antidote; pleasure between a man and a woman will do the trick. Zhou Heng looked at Yang Lanxin’s rosy cheeks, and a sense of heroic sacrifice rose in his heart. "If I don’t enter Hell, who will?"
"Husband, what affectation are you putting on now?" An Yumei snorted, wrinkling her delicate nose.
It was because of the Charm Poison that she and Zhou Heng had come together, making her the first woman in Zhou Heng’s life and holding a very special position. As someone who had been through it, she recognized the signs of an outbreak of Charm Poison and knew its power!
Speaking of which made her feel uncertain, as she didn’t have Yang Lanxin’s steadfast willpower. Even while poisoned with Charm Poison, the latter knew to choose, whereas back then, she had thrown herself at Zhou Heng without knowing him.
Thus, she spoke with a hint of bitterness.
Although the other ladies had not experienced Charm Poison, most of them had already been to bed with Zhou Heng and had plenty of experience. Seeing Yang Lanxin’s blatant allure, they knew what was going on.
They knew their husband was a philanderer and had long since accepted Yang Lanxin, but watching their man with another woman would definitely not sit well with them.
Zhou Heng felt as if thorns were pricking his back; although these delicate wives said nothing, their gazes were sharper than Black Sword’s blade, giving him the sensation of being dismembered.
"I’m going to detoxify her!" He hurriedly picked up Yang Lanxin and entered the inner room.
"You rotten scoundrel!" Lin Fuxiang pouted, although she had known Zhou Heng the longest, she had yet to take the final step with him due to her shyness.
"Girl, if you’re not content, then follow them in!"
"Heh heh, the husband is quite formidable in this regard. Lanxin, that flirtatious lass, is surely no match for him; you could help take some of the pressure off!"
"Xiao Huoshui, you really are a hooligan woman!"
...
"Who gave you the drug?" Zhou Heng asked after the storm had calmed.
Yang Lanxin bit her lip and said nothing; she knew that if she revealed the name, Zhou Heng would surely kill Lin Caijun! She didn’t love Lin Caijun, but he was one of her only relatives, and she wanted to give Lin Caijun a chance to live.
She steadfastly refused to say who drugged her.
Zhou Heng could guess that the culprit was either Lin Caijun or Liu Hanye. In any case, neither of them were good characters. If Yang Lanxin, bearing old affection, didn’t want to kill someone, how could he possibly let it go?
If not for Yang Lanxin’s tenacity in running to him, wouldn’t he have ended up wearing a green, green hat?
He did not want to put Yang Lanxin in a difficult position, so he did not act immediately, opting to finish off Lin Caijun and his companion a few nights later—no matter who had played the hand!
In a few days, the Starwind Trial would begin.
While the Starwind Trial was a great opportunity for everyone, it did not mean it was without risk—treasures weren’t just lying around for the taking. On the contrary, the Starwind Trial was quite dangerous, and every time, a large number of people died!
If Lin Caijun and Liu Hanye were to die during the Starwind Trial, everyone would believe it was an accident and it would not arouse any suspicion.
A day later, the Pharmacists Association of Wild Horse City formally invited Zhou Heng to participate in the upcoming Starwind Trial.
Not everyone could take part in the Starwind Trial; one first had to receive an invitation. Currently, Zhou Heng held three invitations in his hand, allowing him to arrange for three people to enter the Starwind Space.
Still, there was another restriction on the participants themselves.
The purpose of the Starwind Trial was to select promising young people, not solely based on strength.
Immortals had long lifespans, and the lifespans at different Realms varied. Both might be ten thousand years old, but one might be the Moonlight King while the other is the Moonlight Emperor; the former was nearing old age, whereas the latter was in the prime of life. Translated to Mortals, that was like being in their twenties.
