Chapter 20: Please Don’t Lift My Skirt 20
Shi Xingluo initially wanted to stop him, but after glancing at the nearby tea station, he thought Qin Yan was simply refilling water. It seemed impossible for Qin Yan to mix up the two cups right under his watchful eye, so he decided not to say anything.
Still, he kept his eyes firmly fixed on the two cups.
He knew that if he said one more word, Qin Yan would surely grow suspicious. It was better to let him add water while keeping a close watch.
Qin Yan’s movements showed no ulterior motives. He quickly placed the two cups of water in front of himself and Shi Xingluo respectively.
Then, he urged Shi Xingluo to drink, “You might feel salty after eating. Have some water.”
Shi Xingluo pursed his lips and looked down at the cup in front of him. While he was watching, he hadn’t seen Qin Yan mix up the cups, but Qin Yan had bent over for about two seconds…
It seemed like an unconscious gesture.
But during those two seconds, he had blocked the cups from view.
Qin Yan had already picked up his own cup and taken a few sips.
Hesitating, Shi Xingluo still didn’t dare to act rashly.
“Is the temperature not, right?”
Qin Yan took another sip, his tone unusually gentle as he looked at Shi Xingluo.
Shi Xingluo forced a dry laugh, “No, it’s fine. I just ate too much after a short break.”
“Mm.”
Qin Yan drank a few more sips from his own cup, his expression completely natural.
“Ugh…”
He suddenly raised a hand to his forehead. “Why do I feel a little dizzy…”
Shi Xingluo’s eyes lit up. “Senior Qin, are you tired? Do you want to go upstairs and rest?”
Qin Yan’s fingers tightened imperceptibly. Well, well, this little fox had really drugged him.
How ruthless!
But he couldn’t figure out where Shi Xingluo had gotten the drug. He had cornered Shi Xingluo quite suddenly tonight; Shi Xingluo shouldn’t have had time to prepare in advance.
Could it be that when Shi Xingluo asked him to wait outside the door earlier, claiming he needed to grab something, he was getting the drug?
Well, well, very clever!
He lifted his gaze, his eyes dazed as he looked at Shi Xingluo. “No rush. After you drink some water to wash down the grease, I’ll take you upstairs. You don’t know which room is yours.”
Shi Xingluo licked his lips, grabbed the cup beside him, and gulped down half of it in a few quick swallows. “Done.”
Then he stood up, circled the table, and supported Qin Yan. “Senior Qin, you really don’t look well. Let me help you upstairs?”
Qin Yan nodded. When he stood up, his body swayed slightly, further convincing Shi Xingluo that the drug had taken effect.
Shi Xingluo held onto Qin Yan, glancing sideways at that handsome face so close to his. He had to admit this time; he was truly tempted.
The mission didn’t matter much; he genuinely coveted Qin Yan’s looks.
And the thought of pinning this large-size brother beneath him and having his way now was thrilling. This was the Demon God Soul, after all. Once the mission ended, it would be a glorious achievement to look back on with immense satisfaction.
The only pity was that such glory could only be enjoyed privately.
According to Erya, after the Demon God Soul returned, it wouldn’t remember anything from this minor world and couldn’t seek revenge on him, a quick transmigrator.
Precisely because of this, he dared to do whatever he wanted with this so-called Demon God. Opportunities like this were rare and fleeting~
Qin Yan noticed Shi Xingluo staring at his face and turned to look, only to see—
Shi Xingluo licked his lips.
Wait so Shi Xingluo wasn’t planning to run away while he was “drugged”?
What is he trying to do?
Steal something?
No, Shi Xingluo is not that kind of person.
That lip-licking… is he craving something?
Didn’t we eat?
Could it be!?
Qin Yan’s eyes widened abruptly, a lightning bolt flashing through his mind as his heart felt struck by thunder!
Could Shi Xingluo be craving him!?
No, Shi Xingluo craving him!?
This is simply turning the world upside down!
Shi Xingluo’s peach blossom eyes narrowed, his lustful expression shocking Qin Yan to the core. Stiffening his neck, Qin Yan took two steps forward. “Junior Shi, I can walk by myself.”
Damn it, I can barely keep this act from anger.
So angry I want to pin this audacious Shi Xingluo to the ground right now.
No, rather than anger, there’s an indescribable feeling in his heart, could it be… delight?
If Shi Xingluo has designs on him, does that mean his pursuit of Shi Xingluo isn’t one-sided after all?
Shi Xingluo wants him too!
What an unexpectedly delightful discovery.
“Why do I feel like… something’s not right…”
Shi Xingluo took a few eager steps before vaguely sensing a growing restlessness spreading through his body.
“What’s going on?”
He shook his head, trying to regain control of his body, but the weakness in his legs became increasingly pronounced.
“Qin Yan!!”
Shi Xingluo was no fool. He abruptly grabbed the stair railing to steady himself and quickly understood what was happening, turning back to glare furiously at Qin Yan.
Unfortunately, his misty eyes held no intimidation whatsoever instead, the glare seemed to hook Qin Yan like a fishing lure.
That single glance made Qin Yan’s body weak. He immediately wrapped his arms around Shi Xingluo’s waist and lifted him horizontally, his breathing already uneven. “Xingluo, don’t be afraid. I’ll take you to the room.”
Shi Xingluo struggled in his embrace. “You fucking set me up!”
Qin Yan pressed him tightly against his chest, striding upstairs with steps that carried hurricane-like frenzy and desire. “You set me up first. I just discovered it in time.”
Shi Xingluo’s eyes reddened with rage. “Let me go.”
He knew all too well how potent this drug was.
In just a few minutes, his entire body would turn soft as cotton, consumed by intense craving. His consciousness would be washed away by desire, making it difficult to maintain rationality. At its peak, he might even beg someone to… “relieve” him.
Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying.
How could he have fallen for this!
How did Qin Yan discover it? And how did he switch the glasses?
That two-second bow?
Impossible is he a magician? How could his hands be so deft?
But no matter how much Shi Xingluo racked his brain, he had no energy to ponder these questions. He knew the most important thing now was to break free…
Bullshit!
Forgetting whether Qin Yan would let go Erya had said that after taking this drug, one must be… within three hours to neutralize the effects.
Otherwise, the “Blazing Fire” would only burn brighter, consuming one’s very bones.
“Not letting go.”
As expected, Qin Yan showed no intention of releasing him.
