The Rogue Villager Chen Erbao

The wound wasn't large, but the weapon used to stab her was clearly coated in poison. In less than a minute, a large patch of skin around the injury had already turned pitch-black.

He couldn't worry about anything else. Grabbing her wrist, he calmly took her pulse, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.

Spiritual Qi!

'This woman has Spiritual Qi in her body!'

'It's very faint, probably equivalent to the Qi Refining Second Layer.'

But this was enough to shock Chen Erbao.

'Just who is she?'

He suppressed his confusion and continued his examination, only to discover that her internal injuries were far more severe than they appeared.

Her meridians were severely damaged, and the poison had entered her system, flooding her entire body. In the time it took him to hesitate, her whole face had turned a deathly blue-black.

'Crap, I'm running out of time!'

Chen Erbao gritted his teeth, grabbed the clothing on her right shoulder, and yanked it down forcefully.

Two full, white mounds sprang into view, their rosy tips clearly visible.

'I shouldn't be looking! I shouldn't be looking!'

Chen Erbao chanted to himself, then spread his hands, pressed them against the woman's chest, and began to circulate his energy.

The soft, white mounds were flattened like dough beneath his palms, one in each hand. As if stimulated by the contact, their delicate tips seemed to harden.

But Chen Erbao had no time to dwell on such things. The vast Spiritual Qi within him surged like a mighty tide, pouring into the woman starting from her Dantian. His Cultivation Realm was a full two major Realms higher than hers, so the quality and quantity of his Spiritual Qi were naturally beyond comparison. With just a single push, Chen Erbao flooded all her meridians with his own Spiritual Qi.

As Chen Erbao silently circulated his Mental Method, his pink Spiritual Qi gradually consumed the poison in her meridians. The dark, deathly color on her face visibly began to fade and disappear.

After two full Great Circulations, the poison in the woman's body was completely purged. Chen Erbao slowly opened his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

Using one's energy to heal others was a delicate art.

His Spiritual Qi was far more powerful than hers. If he hadn't been careful, he could have damaged her fragile meridians. After the whole ordeal, he felt a bit exhausted himself.

Just as he was about to pull his hands away, Chen Erbao suddenly saw the woman's eyelashes flutter.

The next moment, a pair of bright eyes opened and locked with his.

"..."

Chen Erbao glanced down at his hands, which were still pressed against her chest, then back up at her eyes, which were slowly regaining their focus. He cleared his throat. "This is a misunderstanding. I..."

The woman's mind was groggy, but as she took in her situation, her gaze turned icy.

The top of her dress had been pulled down to her waist, her entire upper body exposed to Chen Erbao's view. A single glance down revealed her own breasts, flattened like pancakes under his hands.

She could clearly feel the searing heat of Chen Erbao's palms on her nipples, the rough friction and pressure...

"Pervert! Die!"

Her face flushed with rage, she raised her right hand and swung it at Chen Erbao's head.

But she was only just beginning to recover from her injuries and couldn't muster any strength. Chen Erbao caught her hand with ease, and she was powerless to break free.

Chen Erbao quickly explained, "Miss, I really didn't mean to barge in... I saw you were on the verge of death and had to resort to this. I swear, I meant no harm!"

The woman struggled a few more times, her body trembling with rage. Realizing her wrist was caught fast, tears welled up in her eyes.

'No one has ever humiliated me like this in my entire life...'

Chen Erbao was about to explain further, but as her upper body trembled, so did her breasts. The magnificent, rolling sight made him involuntarily lower his gaze, and for a moment, he just stared, mesmerized.

The woman noticed his gaze and grew even more furious and ashamed. Her pretty face turned crimson, her eyes filled with humiliation. A wave of anger washed over her, and she nearly fainted again.

Chen Erbao held her trembling shoulders and said in a low, serious voice, "Miss, I really did just wander in by accident. You were unconscious and on the brink of death, so I removed the poison for you. If you don't believe me, check your own meridians. Is there any poison left?"

"Who are you... You're courting death!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a somewhat familiar female voice cried out from the doorway, followed by a fierce gust of wind rushing toward him.

Startled, Chen Erbao instinctively threw up a Spiritual Barrier and turned to look.

He saw a beautiful woman dressed in black, her face a mask of fury, striking at him with her palm.

'Isn't that the cat burglar?!'

Chen Erbao froze. The woman in black had already struck his Spiritual Barrier, but unfortunately, her strength seemed lacking. Not only did she fail to break through, but she was sent flying by the rebound force, nearly landing flat on her rear.

"What are you doing here!"

Chen Erbao lowered the barrier and asked reflexively.

The cat burglar got to her feet, her pretty face frosty. "You dare assault my Senior Sister, ruin my plans, and then question me? You scoundrel, take this!"

With that, she charged at him again.

Chen Erbao sighed in frustration. He let go of the woman in white, and with a flash of movement, appeared behind the woman in black. His fingers moved like lightning, striking several of her acupoints.

After doing this, he locked her arms behind her. "You've misunderstood. I just walked in by accident... Ugh, never mind. Let your Senior Sister get dressed first. We'll go outside, and I'll explain everything."

Chen Erbao felt like he couldn't explain his way out of this even if he had ten mouths. He had no choice but to flick a stream of Spiritual Qi toward the woman in white on the lounge chair, helping her regain some of her strength. Then, he dragged the woman in black outside and shut the door behind them.

The woman in black struggled desperately, but Chen Erbao held her fast. Unable to break free, she was so angry she was on the verge of tears. "You scoundrel..."

Chen Erbao was getting flustered himself. He raised a hand and gave her a firm slap on the butt, yelling:

"Calm down!"

The slap made her soft, springy backside jiggle for a moment. As expected, the woman in black froze, turning her head to stare at Chen Erbao in disbelief. "You... you actually hit me..."

She was so furious she was speechless.

Chen Erbao dragged her out into the main hall of the shop, pushing her down against a table so her back was to him. Only then did he speak seriously.

"I told you, I'm not a pervert. I was just passing by and thought I'd take a look inside. The place was empty, so I went to the back and found your Senior Sister poisoned and at death's door. If it weren't for me, she'd be dead by now. It's one thing not to thank me, but to attack me on sight? And another thing—this afternoon, *you* were the one who stole from me, so how can you claim I ruined *your* plans?"

Hearing this, the woman in black finally regained a sliver of composure. She looked back at Chen Erbao. "I saw you with my own eyes... my Senior Sister's clothes..."

"How the fuck am I supposed to heal her without taking off her clothes?! Your Senior Sister's meridians were full of poison! How was I supposed to treat that without removing her clothes? Should I have just let her die?!"

Chen Erbao swore in frustration.

The woman in black had been blinded by rage, but now that she thought about it, she recalled that her Senior Sister's complexion did look much healthier...

"Besides," he added, "if I really wanted to do something to you two, with your level of strength... Heh!"

Lies don't hurt. The truth is the sharpest blade.
