After transmigrating into the body of the protagonist's childhood friend, he was targeted by a

Lin Zhixu leaned against the headboard with his eyes closed, and after a long while he finally spoke, his voice terribly hoarse: "It's good that you know you were wrong."

Yu Linzhou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned forward: "You forgive me?"

"no."

Yu Linzhou's bright eyes dimmed instantly, and his lips drooped.

Lin Zhixu opened his eyes and looked at him: "The damage that has already been done cannot be made up for with just a few apologies."

Yu Linzhou was silent for a moment, then repeated, "I'm sorry."

Lin Zhixu didn't say anything more, closed his eyes again, leaned against the headboard and slowly exhaled.

The resentment that had been weighing on my heart for so long dissipated somewhat with those two "I'm sorry"s.

This person used to do everything with a straight face, never admitting his mistakes, and was known throughout the cultivation world as difficult to deal with.

He never imagined that he would live to hear Yu Linzhou reflect on his actions and apologize to him.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, apart from the fact that Yu Linzhou forced him to cultivate at the beginning with the intention of becoming stronger than Yan Lingcang, he was the one who ultimately benefited.

If he weren't Yu Linzhou's disciple, in the dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, he would probably have been dead long ago, leaving not even a trace of his bones.

The treasures in his storage bag were something that ordinary people would find extremely rare, yet Yu Linzhou generously gave him a whole bunch of them.

Thinking about it that way, he actually gained quite a bit, so it doesn't seem like he lost out.

Soon, Lin Zhixu lost interest in dwelling on these matters.

The heat inside his body didn't dissipate at all; instead, it intensified, throwing his thoughts into disarray.

This intense heat reminded him of the time when Yu Linzhou forcibly fed him the Fire Essence Pill.

The pain at that time was a burning pain from the inside out, like bones being ground inch by inch by a red-hot iron.

This time, the medicine was different; it was an itch that seemed to seep into your very bones, making you restless and unable to sit or stand still. You wanted to scratch, but couldn't; you wanted to press, but couldn't.

He gritted his teeth, adjusted his breathing, and couldn't help but reach out and tear his outer robe open a little more.

Yu Linzhou looked at the reddened skin beneath the open collar, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

He snapped out of his daze, abruptly turning his head away, his voice trembling slightly: "Don't move! I've been trying so hard to be a decent person, and you're just leading me astray!"

Lin Zhixu opened his eyes, a rare hint of panic flashing in them: "Something's wrong. Why can't I suppress the effects of this medicine?"

Yu Linzhou's expression hardened, and he could no longer entertain himself.

He grabbed Lin Zhixu's wrist, drew a line between his fingertips, drew out a drop of blood, and tasted it.

In an instant, his face darkened completely: "What you've been given isn't poison, but a kind of aphrodisiac that uses yang energy to replenish yang."

Lin Zhixu: "Aphrodisiac?"

Yu Linzhou's face was grim: "This medicine won't kill anyone, nor will it make people lose their minds. It will only make people feel restless and anxious until they have intercourse with someone. It's a special kind of aphrodisiac powder made by the Hehuan Sect."

Lin Zhixu's expression turned extremely ugly after hearing this.

He had previously thought that Wen Wuqing hadn't used enough of the medicine, and that the bastard wanted to see him make a fool of himself while he was sober, which was why he hadn't used too much.

Now I realize it wasn't a matter of quantity at all.

This is exactly the effect Wen Wuqing wanted.

He wanted him to withstand the effects of the medicine, but not the effects of time.

He needs to be in a conscious state, and slowly let the drug wear down all his willpower until he finally has no choice but to beg for it.

Lin Zhixu gritted his teeth: "Beast! I made him die too easily just now."

Yu Linzhou shook his head: "No, this kind of aphrodisiac is a secret recipe of the Aphrodisiac Sect, used to punish those who have made mistakes. Ordinary people can't obtain it, so it's impossible for Wen Wuqing to have it."

Just then, a cautious voice came from outside the door: "Young Master? Is there enough wine? Would you like me to bring some more?"

Lin Zhixu's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Wen Wuqing is dead, but his men are still guarding outside.

With no movement inside for so long, and Wen Wuqing not leaving for a long time, the subordinates were probably starting to get suspicious.

He grabbed Yu Linzhou by the collar, pulled him close, and flipped him over so that he was on top of him.

Caught off guard, Yu Linzhou stumbled as he was pulled, bracing himself on his hands beside him. He looked down and met Lin Zhixu's face, which was inches away from his own.

The flush from the drug had not yet faded, and the person beneath her had her collar half open, breathing rapidly and hot.

Yu Linzhou's Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

I kept telling myself that I had to hold back!

Lin Zhixu didn't have time to care what he was thinking. He raised his hand, made a hand seal, changed his voice to Wen Wuqing's tone, and coldly shouted towards the door, "Get lost! Don't disturb this young master's good time!"

It was quiet outside the door.

The subordinate breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his young master's impatient voice.

The young master has been inside for so long without any sound. Fearing that something might have happened, he reluctantly came to inquire.

It turns out the young master has already succeeded.

"Young Master, you are busy. I will take my leave now."

Yu Linzhou lay on top of him, looking down at the person beneath him, and blinked: "Why go through all this trouble? Why not just kill that spy?"

Lin Zhixu remained silent: "..." Oh, right.

As expected, he still wasn't used to this survival rule where people kill each other all the time.

Yu Linzhou felt Lin Zhixu's breath against his chest, rapid and hot, and he could feel the abnormal body temperature even through the fabric.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice involuntarily softened: "So... what do we do next?"

Lin Zhixu looked up at him, his eyes reddened by the effects of the drug, and his tone was irritated with a hint of annoyance: "You're asking me? Hurry up and find a way to cure me."

"But I don't have the antidote." Yu Linzhou's expression was innocent. "This is a secret medicine of the Hehuan Sect. You know the Hehuan Sect; their torture methods are incredibly diverse. If any antidote could cure it, why would it be used as a torture instrument?"

Lin Zhixu remained silent for a long while, the effects of the medicine surging through his meridians, almost burning away his last bit of patience.

He spoke, his voice hoarse: "So you need to find someone to sleep with, right?"

Yu Linzhou nodded vigorously.

His eyes, which were already deeper than most people's, were now shining brightly, almost overflowing with expectation, as if they were saying, "Choose me, choose me, choose me!"

Lin Zhixu looked at him expressionlessly, without saying a word.

The two stared at each other for a long while.

Lin Zhixu spoke up, "You're not allowed to go all the way to the end."

Yu Linzhou nodded vigorously, his eager expression like that of someone seeing a dog sticking out its tongue.

Lin Zhixu: "..."

Ah, forget it.

Just consider it as being bitten by a dog.

Anyway, it's not like I'm unhappy.

……

The clouds quietly obscured the moonlight, as if they were ashamed for the guest room, completely blocking the light and shadow on the window.

Soon, faint but barely suppressed noises could be heard coming from the room.

"No! I said no, and that's final!" Lin Zhixu's voice was hoarse with a hint of exasperation.

Then came Yu Linzhou's ingratiating coaxing: "Just give it a try, okay?"

"...You just promised you'd listen to me!" Lin Zhixu's voice rose a few decibels, then suddenly dropped, "...I'm a human being, not a block of wood. You want to kill me with both of you together?"

"No, no, cultivators have strong bodies, they won't get hurt..."

"...Get out of here!"
