Chapter 759: A Man Must Protect Himself When Out and About!

The wine is spiked!

The thought had barely surfaced when a wave of heat surged from his lower abdomen, spreading through his body. Lu Changsheng was almost certain – he’d been drugged!

Second Palace Master?

Why would Shen Baishuang drug him?

And judging by appearances, the Third Palace Master, Shen Yiren, had been drugged too.

In a flash of insight, a suspicion sparked in Lu Changsheng’s mind.

His display of the fourth-rank puppet array and the Soul-Taking Beast had been too shocking. Shen Baishuang clearly didn’t want him to leave the Divine Maiden Palace.

But the Divine Maiden Palace lacked a legitimate reason to detain him.

Forcibly suppressing and detaining him would not only be ineffective and counterproductive but could also damage the Divine Maiden Palace’s reputation.

So, Shen Baishuang had chosen to drug them, using Shen Yiren to coerce him? If he and Shen Yiren engaged in anything scandalous, Shen Baishuang would have a reason to act against him.

Even if he resisted, they had options. Shen Yiren for persuasion, and Shen Baishuang and Shen Jianjia for force.

With this combination of soft and hard tactics, few male cultivators could withstand them.

After all, if he yielded, binding himself completely to the Divine Maiden Palace’s grand ship and settling down with the Third Palace Master, Shen Yiren, the Divine Maiden Palace would likely reward him handsomely.

Or rather, any other male cultivator facing this situation would gladly accept, perhaps even eagerly seek it.

But Lu Changsheng was not like other cultivators.

He currently had no such inclinations whatsoever.

He only wanted to overcome his impending tribulation as soon as possible and return home to see his wife and children.

Then, he could focus on completing the Nascent Soul secret technique before heading to the Forbidden Sea with the Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale and Soul-Taking Beast to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Once he achieved Nascent Soul, he would transcend the masses, becoming a regional overlord, qualified and confident enough to face any power in the Southern Desolation directly!

If he tied himself to the Divine Maiden Palace’s ship, once they saw his true potential and his breakthrough to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, they might become wary, further guarding against him, restricting him, or even imposing restrictive measures.

Lu Changsheng had some trust in Shen Yiren, who was kind-hearted and beautiful.

But he had little trust in Shen Baishuang and the Great Palace Master, with whom he had limited contact.

“Jade-Faced Rakshasa indeed!”

Lu Changsheng watched Shen Baishuang, who had drunk three cups of Crimson Flame Wine, her cheeks flushed with a delicate blush, but her beautiful eyes sharp and clear. A chill settled in his heart.

At the same time, the [Tears of the Fairy] in the Crimson Flame Wine began to take full effect.

Even with his Chaos Body and fourth-rank body refinement, Lu Changsheng found it hard to resist.

The heat from his lower abdomen surged wildly through every part of him, even his mind and spirit. He felt an overwhelming urge to pin the Second Palace Master, this married woman, beneath him, to ravage and defile her, to exact fierce revenge!

After all, the Chaos Body merely granted incredible poison resistance, immunity to all kinds of deadly poisons.

And as everyone knew, aphrodisiacs weren’t just simple poisons.

Countless peerless Empresses, Gushe Fairies, Penglai Goddesses, Celestial Maiden Bodhisattvas, and stunning female sect leaders with heaven-defying cultivation, when hit by aphrodisiacs, would succumb to lust, lose themselves, fall into depravity, even resorting to random nobodies to relieve themselves.

And it wasn’t just Lu Changsheng.

Beside him, Shen Yiren put down her wine cup, her mind hazy, and touched her cheeks, which were flushed crimson and burning hot.

“Huh? Am I drunk?”

Although cultivators could get drunk if they didn’t circulate magical energy to dispel the alcohol.

But as a Core Formation cultivator who practiced health-preserving techniques, her alcohol tolerance was quite high.

She’d only had two or three cups just now. How could she be drunk?

Shen Yiren felt hot all over, a little dazed, and looked at her Second Sister and Lu Changsheng beside her.

Looking at Lu Changsheng’s refined face, flushed with a slight drunken blush, she couldn’t explain why, but she found Elder Xuanmu more handsome and pleasing to the eye than ever before.

Images, even some erotic scenes, involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

The last vestiges of clarity in Shen Yiren’s mind were instantly shattered by these alluring images, leaving her expression dazed and lost.

Subconsciously, she wanted to move closer to Lu Changsheng, to throw herself into his arms, to feel his pure, natural, yet powerfully masculine scent.

But her pride as the Divine Maiden Palace’s Third Palace Master kept a sliver of her consciousness awake, making her sense something was wrong.

Just then, Shen Baishuang sensed Lu Changsheng’s wolfish, burning gaze and saw her sister’s dazed, lost expression. She knew the time was ripe.

Smiling faintly, she said, “Oh, right, Elder Xuanmu, I prepared some gifts for you, but I forgot to bring them.”

“Little sister, you and Elder Xuanmu keep drinking and chatting. I’ll be right back.”

With that, Shen Baishuang, without waiting for a response, rose from her seat, her shapely buttocks encased in a red dress, and prepared to leave the restaurant.

However, as soon as she stood, she saw Lu Changsheng, his eyes tinged with red, blocking her path like a beast.

“Second Palace Master, why the rush?”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes were bloodshot, his breathing heavy and rapid as he spoke.

The Peach Blossom Gu, Taiyi Spirit, and Chaos Body were forcibly suppressing the effects of the [Tears of the Fairy] within him.

Shen Baishuang, seeing the usually gentle and refined Lu Changsheng suddenly looking like this, paused, then smiled sweetly and said, “Elder Xuanmu, this Palace prepared a few items for you–”

Before she could finish, Lu Changsheng reached out, his hand like iron, gripping her fair wrist tightly. He leaned in, his gaze intense and oppressive, breathing heavily, and demanded, “Second Palace Master, what have you done to me and the Third Palace Master?!”

Shen Baishuang was surprised by Lu Changsheng’s hand, which felt like iron tongs. She wondered why he was so strong, his grip even making her wrist ache.

She was a Nascent Soul cultivator, after all. Even without body refinement, her physical body was far superior to most body cultivators, not comparable to Core Formation cultivators.

Her eyebrows furrowed, she glared at Lu Changsheng and retorted coldly, “Elder Xuanmu, this Palace doesn’t understand what you’re talking about! Let go!”

As the Divine Maiden Palace’s Second Palace Master, a Nascent Soul cultivator, in her hundreds of years, few had dared to be so rude and disrespectful to her.

Even though she was in the wrong, being gripped by Lu Changsheng’s wrist like this, a chill rose in her heart.

Nascent Soul-level magical energy surged, intending to break free from his grip.

But then, an astonishing scene unfolded.

Lu Changsheng didn’t budge.

“Second Sister, Elder Xuanmu, what’s wrong?”

Shen Yiren, beside them, her cheeks flushed, biting her pink lip, her beautiful eyes hazy, realized something was wrong. She seemed to be poisoned, but her whole being was in a daze.

Seeing her Second Sister and Lu Changsheng grappling, she immediately spoke up to ask.

But even as she spoke, she subconsciously moved closer to Lu Changsheng, drawn to the powerful masculine aura emanating from him.

Lu Changsheng, barely maintaining a sliver of consciousness with the Peach Blossom Gu, Taiyi Spirit, and Chaos Body, smelled the delicate fragrance from Shen Baishuang and Shen Yiren. He felt the heat within him intensify, like oil poured onto a raging fire, spreading rapidly.

“Boom!”

His fourth-rank physique, sealed by the Nine Treasures Dao Bone, began to unleash. His blood energy surged like a dam bursting on a vast sea.

“Huh? Elder Xuanmu also practices body refinement?”

Shen Baishuang saw Lu Changsheng’s dragon-like blood energy spreading and roaring around him. Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise and doubt.

“What are you doing?”

Lu Changsheng stared intently at the mature, alluring, and captivating Second Palace Master. His mouth went dry, he licked his lips, and breathed heavily as he said, “You drugged me and the Third Palace Master, didn’t you?”

Shen Baishuang, seeing her scheme exposed, flinched inwardly, but then retorted confidently, “So what if I did?!”

Although what she did was wrong, she had done it all for the Divine Maiden Palace.

Besides, this was still benefiting Lu Changsheng.

As long as he was willing to submit to the Divine Maiden Palace and treat her sister well, what was wrong with her nurturing and supporting him to break through to Nascent Soul in the future? “Very well, very well, very well!!!”

Seeing Shen Baishuang so brazen about drugging him, a surge of anger boiled in Lu Changsheng’s heart. He slammed his hand on the table, and a wine pot landed in his grasp.

Although his consciousness was hazy, his Nascent Soul-level Taiyi Spirit instantly discerned the hidden mechanism within the wine pot: it was divided into two layers.

The wine Shen Baishuang had poured for him and Shen Yiren earlier contained aphrodisiacs.

But the wine she poured for herself was normal, so she was unaffected.

Magical energy surged as he intended to force the wine in the pot into Shen Baishuang’s red lips.

“Impudent!”

Shen Baishuang’s exquisitely beautiful face turned as cold as frost as she reprimanded him. Nascent Soul-level magical energy erupted completely, like layers of terrifying waves, intending to blast Lu Changsheng away.

But Lu Changsheng’s dormant fourth-rank physique also erupted completely. A field of chaotic nothingness appeared around him, and he seemed like a primordial god who created the world.

Physical Divine Ability—Chaos Manifestation! “Boom!!!”

Shen Baishuang’s Nascent Soul magical energy was directly suppressed by Lu Changsheng’s fourth-rank physique and Chaos Manifestation. Immediately, her delicate body slumped, her steps faltered, and her face showed shock and doubt.

This blood energy, this physique… how is this possible?!

Shen Baishuang looked as if she’d seen a ghost. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock, surprise, disbelief, and incredulity.

Fourth-rank body refinement!

Elder Xuanmu before her eyes actually possessed fourth-rank body refinement!? How could this be?!

He was just a Core Formation cultivator. How could he have broken through to fourth-rank body refinement?!

“Boom!!!”

Not having time to think further, Shen Baishuang’s Nascent Soul-level magical energy surged wildly, like a tsunami overturning the heavens.

Not to mention she was already in close quarters with Lu Changsheng, this fourth-rank body cultivator.

Earlier, in the battle against the Six Paths Demon Concubine, she had burned her Nascent Soul essence and activated a Nascent Soul secret technique. Her body was still in a weakened state, only at half her peak strength.

This strength was more than enough to deal with other Core Formation cultivators.

But against Lu Changsheng, it was far from sufficient.

Especially against Lu Changsheng, who was now displaying fourth-rank body refinement!

Lu Changsheng, eyes bloodshot and breathing heavily, gripped Shen Baishuang’s fair wrist and yanked her violently, pulling her shapely figure encased in the red dress right in front of him.

Then, his other arm shot out like a dragon emerging from the sea, tightly embracing her soft, slender waist, firmly imprisoning her in his arms.

The Chaos Manifestation around him, like a pure land, a miniature world, completely suppressed Shen Baishuang’s magical energy and delicate body.

“You… you… you…”

As the Divine Maiden Palace’s Second Palace Master, revered and untouchable, even after marriage, Shen Baishuang had never been so intimately close to a man.

Feeling his hot breath on her neck and the heat from his mouth, his chest pressed tightly against her back, and… the erect dragon between her buttocks, she felt utterly humiliated and furious.

The next moment.

Shen Baishuang’s exquisite red dress billowed, like sunset clouds or phoenix tail feathers, burning with dreamlike, dazzling brilliance, intending to force Lu Changsheng away.

“Boom!”

The Nine Treasures Dao Bone on Lu Changsheng’s chest seemed to resonate with the heavens and earth. Dazzling divine light, interwoven with mysterious runes, emerged, blazing and domineering, flying towards Shen Baishuang.

Sealing Divine Light!

The dazzling, blazing light possessed peerless divine power capable of suppressing and sealing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The red dress encasing Shen Baishuang’s graceful figure was like a fire phoenix, its radiant light burning, constantly clashing with the Sealing Divine Light.

But facing fourth-rank body refinement, Chaos Manifestation, and Sealing Divine Light, even though the dress was a Spirit Treasure, it was constantly suppressed, its radiant light gradually dimming.

“How is this possible?!”

Shen Baishuang’s jade face, initially flushed with shame and anger, then drastically changed.

She hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to be hiding so much.

Besides fourth-rank body refinement, he also had such terrifying methods.

She had to remember, this dress of hers was a Spirit Treasure!

Not only was it impervious to all spells, but ordinary people who got close would even be directly incinerated into ashes.

But now, the power of the Spirit Treasure was completely suppressed by Lu Changsheng.

Shen Baishuang still wanted to struggle.

But Lu Changsheng directly slammed his palm forcefully into her lower abdomen, causing her delicate body to arch slightly backward, her beautiful, flushed face contorted in pain.

Immediately after, Lu Changsheng poured the Crimson Flame Wine into Shen Baishuang’s glossy, full red lips.

“Absolutely must not drink it!”

Shen Baishuang knew very well the effects of [Tears of the Fairy].

Once poisoned, there was no antidote, only intercourse could detoxify.

Seeing Shen Baishuang pursing her lips to avoid drinking, Lu Changsheng, his eyes bloodshot, breathing heavily, barely suppressing the heat raging through him and his fading consciousness, directly pounced on her, kissing her luscious, full red lips, his tongue like a white dragon in the waves, forcing the wine into her mouth.

Since she dared to scheme against him, she had to be ready to bear the consequences! “Ugh!”

Shen Baishuang’s beautiful eyes widened, her whole body as if struck by lightning! How dare he! How dare he! Fury boiled in Shen Baishuang’s heart. She felt utterly humiliated and ashamed, her voluptuous, alluring body trembling uncontrollably.

But facing Lu Changsheng’s fourth-rank physique and Chaos Manifestation, she couldn’t struggle free at all now.

“Cough cough cough…”

In her haste, Shen Baishuang was force-fed a large mouthful of Crimson Flame Wine, her face turning deathly pale.

“It’s over!”

At this moment, Shen Baishuang had only one thought.

However, Lu Changsheng, unsure if the wine had been sufficiently poisoned, forced another large mouthful of Crimson Flame Wine into Shen Baishuang’s cherry-like mouth and then, still unsatisfied, kissed her glossy red lips again, pushing the wine further in.

Although Lu Changsheng still retained a sliver of consciousness thanks to the Taiyi Spirit, Chaos Body, and fourth-rank body refinement.

But the effects of [Tears of the Fairy] were making him burn with heat all over.

Even with his battle-hardened experience and unwavering willpower, he couldn’t suppress the lust in his heart. His hand instinctively reached for Shen Baishuang’s voluptuous, proud breasts.

However, the last vestiges of his rationality still told him he couldn’t do this.

Once he provoked the Great Palace Master, Shen Jianjia, he would be in deep trouble. Breathing heavily, he said, “Second Palace Master, you’re poisoned now too. Hand over the antidote!”

“You… you… you… Ye Xuanmu, you–”

Shen Baishuang, panting heavily, her beautiful eyes filled with shame and fury, looked at the man who was pouncing on her like a beast. Her voice trembled uncontrollably as she spoke.

She was trembling with rage.

When had Shen Baishuang ever suffered such humiliation?!

But looking at Xuanmu Daoist, who had been so refined and handsome before but now had a predatory gaze, as if he wanted to devour her, her expression became somewhat dazed, panicked, and terrified as she said, “There’s… no antidote…”

“No antidote?!”

Although Lu Changsheng had long suspected this, hearing these words still made his heart sink.

“Ugh~”

At the same time, under the effects of [Tears of the Fairy], the Third Palace Master, Shen Yiren, who had completely lost herself, clung to Lu Changsheng like a kitten, moaning softly, instinctively craving the opposite sex, her body involuntarily pressing against Lu Changsheng, rubbing against him through her clothes.
