From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 123 Just Squeezing Doesn't Do the Work

"You absolutely must join my team!"

Dennis grabbed Ye Xiao's hand, his excitement as if he were Durant seeing Scarlett's bathwater.

Before coming here, he had read a lot of materials.

Among those densely packed words, the inconspicuous name Ye Xiao frequently appeared in Dennis's eyes.

Unlike his predecessors, Dennis did not have any doubts, but instead chose to win them over.

"Excuse me, sir."

Ye Xiao smiled slightly, withdrew his hand, and politely declined, saying, "What happened last time caused me a lot of psychological trauma. I just want to rest now."

"Oh, I see."

Dennis was taken aback, but seeing Ye Xiao's decisive refusal, he wisely refrained from pressing the matter further.

Seeing the two of them leave, Williams, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and quickly grabbed Ye Xiao's arm.

"Ye, what just happened?"

He thought Dennis was there to poach him, and asked nervously, "Who is that guy? From another research institute? What does he research?"

"It can be considered research, or if I had to say, it would be research on the impact on social stability and the limits of the human body."

"Social stability and the limits of the human body? Is there even a research direction like this for sutures?"

Williams was still somewhat worried and couldn't help but warn, "Ye, listen to me, that guy just now didn't look like a good person at all. Don't let him fool you!"

"Don't worry, I'm planning to stay with Professor Erich until I graduate with my master's degree."

After all, apart from that old man Erich, there probably wasn't much else for Ye Xiao to get a degree from.

In this research institute, Ye Xiao didn't need to do research or write papers. He just needed to have his name on the paper and wait a few years to become a master's student who was incredibly mediocre.

However, Ye Xiao's understanding was also very clear.

He's just using this as a stepping stone; he definitely won't pursue further studies in scientific research.

It would be a blessing for the medical community if he weren't there.

"Hi, good evening, gentlemen."

"It's quite a nice banquet, isn't it?"

Just as Ye Xiao was chatting with Williams, a beautiful young woman in a black evening gown walked over gracefully, carrying a champagne glass.

She had slightly wavy red short hair, and a short black suspender dress that made her snow-white skin appear even whiter and smoother. Her full curves made it hard to look away.

She stretched out her slender hand, a sweet and charming smile appearing on her delicate face.

"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Jasmine, and I am Professor Charlie's student."

"Hello there."

After a polite introduction, Williams was still somewhat confused.

Why would such a beautiful girl come looking for me?

Did they want to steal his experimental data?

However, Williams was overthinking it.

Under his wary gaze, Jasmine raised her head, her beautiful emerald green eyes drifting towards Ye Xiao.

"Mr. Ye, I've read your paper, 'Extracting Maggots from Infected Chronic Wounds Using Bacon,' and it has been incredibly helpful!"

"The principle of using thick bacon to create a sealed, oxygen-deficient environment to attract and force out maggots is truly surprising!"

As she said this, Jasmine subtly took two steps, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Oh, really?"

Ye Xiao couldn't even remember when he had written this paper.

I think I was bragging to a fellow student when he took it seriously and even wrote it into a paper and published it.

Ye Xiao himself never expected that such an absurd thing could be used as a thesis.

It seems that the American medical community is quite incompetent.

Williams, who was standing to the side, was also stunned and even wanted to go deaf.

WTF?

Bacon as a treatment for maggots?

A Q2 SCI paper being hyped up like this?

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Ye Xiao was Erich's top disciple.

"Ahem, Ye."

Seeing that Ye Xiao seemed to be starting to succumb, Williams quickly whispered a reminder: "Be careful, this guy is a bit strange."

"Don't worry, senior brother, I understand."

Ye Xiao blinked, then turned around and casually put his arm around Jasmine's slender waist.

"Do you still want to hear the story of how I once pulled a bullet out of my chest with my bare hands?"

"certainly!"

Watching the two laughing and talking as they walked away, Williams slapped his thigh in anger.

asshole!

What exactly do you understand?

This female student named Jasmine is clearly Professor Charlie's spy, here specifically to gather intelligence!

And Ye Xiao, that bastard, had so many beautiful girlfriends, yet he still foolishly fell for it.

Damn it, is he in such a hurry?

Fortunately, Ye Xiao isn't often in the lab or attending meetings, so he's unaware of Professor Ehrlich's current research direction and data.

Williams sighed with relief.

When he looked up again, he suddenly couldn't find Ye Xiao and Jasmine anywhere.

What the hell were those two talking about?

Could it be that they secretly went to a hotel?

Just as Williams thought.

With Ye Xiao's deliberate indulgence, he was like a lustful ghost, easily lured by Jasmine to the hotel upstairs.

Ye Xiao wasn't stupid or blind; he could naturally see that Jasmine harbored ill intentions.

But he was still very curious about what information Jasmine wanted to extract from him.

And so, the two veteran actors put on a show of acting prowess.

"Ye, I have never seen such an outstanding Chinese person as you."

Jasmine clung tightly to Ye Xiao's arm, her pretty face burning, her voice both sweet and seductive.

"I've never seen a girl with such beautiful eyes before."

Ye Xiao stared into Jasmine's eyes with deep affection.

She drank glass after glass of wine, but Jasmine felt her scalp getting increasingly numb.

Ye Xiao's alcohol tolerance is like a bottomless pit; it can never be filled.

She even secretly added some drugs, but Ye Xiao's reaction was still normal.

Is this guy even human?

Those drugs are enough to knock out a cow!

Could it be that the medicine has expired?

No, if she keeps drinking like this, she'll definitely black out first.

After thinking it over carefully, Jasmine decided to let Ye Xiao take advantage of the situation.

She pretended to be drunk and threw herself into Ye Xiao's arms, rubbing her forehead against his cheek like a mischievous cat.

"Ye, hold me, I want you."

"Oh? Really?"

"Of course, I think I've already fallen for you."

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to himself that this woman was really good at pretending.

If I hadn't used my special antidote, I might have already been drugged by Jasmine.

It seems that Professor Charlie may already have his eye on him.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao, holding Jasmine, suddenly spoke.

"But I prefer something a bit more exciting."

snort!

That bastard finally took the bait!

Jasmine looked at Ye Xiao, a hint of mockery flashing in her slightly narrowed eyes.

This bastard is still pretending to be a gentleman.

"Then come on, I like it too."

Jasmine wrapped her arms around Ye Xiao's neck: "But are there any props here?"

"That's easy, I'll just have someone deliver it."

Like a seasoned outlaw, Ye Xiao made the call, and soon after, a waiter delivered a box to his door.

"Block the signal in this room."

While getting his things, Ye Xiao whispered to the waiter, "Also, I don't want anyone to bother me."

"Yes, sir."

Ye Xiao had often come to this hotel with Rachel, so the staff were used to their rather perverse ways of doing things.

However, this time is still somewhat special.

Ye Xiao actually ordered some real weapons, which really startled the waiter.

That was a leather whip that was used to drive horses and cattle in the past!

What kind of girl would dare to go to such lengths?

Just then, Jasmine happened to peek out from the room.

"Ye, are you done yet?"

"Coming right now."

Looking at the petite Jasmine, the waiter couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration.

You can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't underestimate a little girl.

Jasmine lay on the bed, her two slender, smooth legs swinging back and forth.

Hearing the door close, she smiled and let out a soft exclamation.

"What are you waiting for? Let's get started!"

Before he finished speaking, the entire room suddenly went dark.

It was quite exciting.

Jasmine couldn't help but think to herself, "That bastard Ye Xiao is quite good at pretending. I didn't expect him to be a veteran player."

However, after the physical enhancement, Jasmine now has some doubts about whether Ye Xiao can make her feel pain.

"Snapped!"

Just then, a loud crackling sound of whips exploded out of nowhere.

"what!"

Jasmine suddenly felt a pain in her back and couldn't help but cry out.

Wait, what's going on here?

How come he has such a strong grip?

Jasmine thought she was just too nervous.

But the next second, there was another loud crack of the whip.

"Well!"

Jasmine can now confirm that this is neither a hallucination nor an accident.

She could clearly feel a burning pain in her back, and the wet blood had even seeped into her buttocks.

"Wait, be gentle!"

Jasmine begged for mercy, but Ye Xiao wouldn't give her a chance.

He secretly activated his [Poisonous Aura] ability and lashed out with his whip again.

The corrosive effect from any attack within three minutes left another deep wound on Jasmine's body.

"don't want!"

Jasmine started to panic.

Why is this different from what we agreed on?

She originally planned to plant the bomb at point B and knock Ye Xiao unconscious.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't take it after only three lashes.

Is this guy even human?!

It just keeps drying!

Do I even have the life to wait any longer?

"Pineapple!"

Jasmine dared not endure it any longer and quickly shouted out the key words, but as a result, another lash came down.

"Apples, bears! Scandinavia!"

Ye Xiao's steady, accurate, and ruthless whipping technique seemed to have been passed down from the white rancher.

The moment Jasmine was pulled, she stiffened up, almost reciting the safe word as if it were a rap.

That bastard!

I'm going to slice you into thin specimens, layer by layer!

Jasmine was angry, but she also realized that she had indeed forgotten to set a safe keyword.

"Wait, Ye, let's agree on this first—"

"Snapped!"

Just as Jasmine was begging for mercy, Ye Xiao swung his whip again, which struck her face.

"Hmm!"

This is terrible.

Jasmine felt a mouthful of blood, was in so much pain that she couldn't open her mouth or speak, and could only let out painful whimpers.

What made her even more desperate was that Ye Xiao even began to gradually increase the intensity of his actions.

"Not bad, you really can hold your nerve!"

"You're not even using safety words? Do you think I'm too weak?"

Ye Xiao kept waving his whip, but he could now confirm it.

Professor Charlie is definitely a member of the Yersin Society, and Jasmine in front of him must have used that special drug to gain extraordinary physical abilities.

For an ordinary person, a single lash would likely cause serious injury, unconsciousness, and hospitalization, leaving them unable to even make a sound.

Jasmine was almost going crazy.

She had never been whipped like an animal before.

At this moment, Jasmine wished she could tear Ye Xiao to pieces.

The problem was that the whip marks on her body seemed to carry a strange power, constantly corroding her body and leaving her completely powerless.

Could this guy really be hiding something?

No wonder the professor told me to take the opportunity to drug him!

Jasmine is now truly regretting it. She should never have used seduction as a tactic, otherwise she wouldn't have ended up being beaten to death.

"Who sent you to approach me?"

Just as Jasmine was in despair, Ye Xiao suddenly asked in a cold voice.

""

Hmph, you want me to tell you?

Jasmine knew, of course, that Ye Xiao was trying to cause trouble for Professor Charlie.

If she admits it, this bastard recorded it.

Professor Charlie's trip to Seattle might turn into a disaster.

If Jasmine stubbornly refuses to admit it, even if Ye Xiao beats her to death, she will still be branded a murderer.

It turns out she was really stubborn.

Ye Xiao reached out and attempted to use mind control.

Unfortunately, Jasmine's spirit seems to have been strengthened, and he cannot control it for the time being.

Are we really going to beat her to death?

Just as Jasmine thought, Ye Xiao is now caught in a dilemma.

No matter which choice Ye Xiao makes, he will be at a disadvantage.

"snort!"

Jasmine gave a proud snort, but it only made her wound hurt more.

But just then, she suddenly felt a cold sensation on her back.

Jasmine turned her head in surprise and saw Ye Xiao reach out and touch the wounds on her body.

Even more bizarrely, those deep wounds gradually healed!

Is this...is this a miracle?

Despite being a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University, Jasmine was still surprised by Ye Xiao's methods.

Professor Charlie helps them establish a symbiotic relationship with a special virus, thereby enhancing their physical fitness.

But Jasmine had never seen anyone heal a wound simply by touching it.

This is practically identical to the divine power described in legends!

"What are you doing?"

Jasmine felt much better and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Of course, I'm here to heal your wounds."

Ye Xiao smiled.

He had actually planted a few seeds with restorative effects on Jasmine.

There have been too many corpses lately, and those low-level seeds are unlikely to provide much improvement, so using them on this is just right.

Ye Xiao looked at Jasmine with the same loving gaze an agricultural student would give to his carefully crafted graduation thesis.

But in Jasmine's eyes, Ye Xiao's raised lips were full of danger.

as predicted.

Once his injuries had almost healed, Ye Xiao started wielding his whip again!

Jasmine then realized why Ye Xiao had healed her.

He was afraid of beating himself to death, but even more afraid of not torturing himself long enough!

Under this combination of treatment and beatings, Jasmine felt like she was going crazy and was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

After an unknown amount of time, Jasmine even felt that her perception was distorted.

The "feeling" was as if it had been replaced; the whipping felt comfortable, but the recovery felt painful.

After undergoing another treatment, Jasmine finally couldn't bear the terrifying pain any longer and instinctively knelt on the ground, pleading.

"Please! I... I surrender!"

"I am willing to obey you!"
