Witch, don't do anything reckless!

As Liu Xu's sword missed its mark, Chu Wanqing had vanished from the spot.

Just as she was about to continue chasing after him, she suddenly stopped, a feeling of powerlessness washing over her.

not good!

Liu Xu frowned, only then realizing that her internal energy was becoming somewhat disordered, and her heartbeat and breathing were becoming rapid. She quickly held her breath and concentrated, wanting to circulate her spiritual energy to expel the strange fragrance from her body, but remembering what the woman had just said, she paused.

Will circulating spiritual energy make the medicine take effect faster?

What drug did she give herself?

Liu Xu didn't know, but she figured it definitely wasn't some kind of legitimate medicine... These demonesses were all incredibly cunning and treacherous.

Thinking of this, Liu Xu's face turned completely cold.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard.

Xu Jinghong, who was close behind, finally caught up. He leaped into the courtyard and quickly looked around: "Where's the demon?"

As she approached, she noticed Liu Xu's pale face and exclaimed in surprise, "What's wrong?!"

"I'm fine."

Liu Xu's voice was slightly deep: "Go after her. She's most likely involved in the death of Prince Jing's heir; we absolutely cannot let her get away!"

"But you..."

Xu Jinghong was somewhat worried about Liu Xu's condition.

Liu Xu took a deep breath, suppressing the growing restlessness within her: "I'm fine. This demon's origins are unknown. She's injured and can't have gone far. We must bring her back."

After confirming that Liu Xu was not injured and was not seriously hurt, Xu Jinghong said, "Alright, I'll go and bring her back first."

After saying that, Xu Jinghong continued chasing in the direction Liu Xu had indicated.

In the courtyard, as soon as Xu Jinghong left, Liu Xu felt the heat in her body growing stronger, and she could barely suppress it.

Her face paled, and her usually cold eyes grew increasingly furious... What kind of drug did that witch give her?!

Realizing that she could no longer suppress the effects of the drug by herself, Liu Xu understood the seriousness of the situation. The drug was far more potent than she had expected, and its effects were far too rapid, likely related to her earlier use of spiritual power.

Could it be that I really need to find a man to detoxify me?

The thought had barely formed in her mind when, as if sensing something, Liu Xu suddenly turned her head sharply and stared at the outer wall of the courtyard: "Come out!"

Outside the wall, Li Chuqiu, who had quietly followed, suddenly felt the oppressive aura emanating from a powerful expert at the middle third realm.

How could this be discovered?

In the darkness, as if sensing that the other party was about to make a move, Li Chuqiu coughed lightly and quickly appeared from behind the wall.

"Vice Commander Liu, it's me!"

Li Chuqiu followed behind, watching Liu Xu chase the monster to this courtyard. She wondered what had happened, and then saw Xu Jinghong go after the monster alone, leaving Liu Xu behind.

Li Chuqiu found it a bit strange, but he didn't plan to show himself. His strength was too weak, so he naturally didn't want to get involved, let alone help.

Such a battle of the gods is not something a mere constable like him can get involved in.

But to my surprise, I still got caught.

At this moment, upon seeing the willow catkins in the courtyard, Li Chuqiu keenly sensed something... This Deputy Commander Liu's face seemed somewhat pale?

His expression doesn't look right... Is he injured?

Upon seeing that the person hiding outside the wall was Li Chuqiu, Liu Xu's expression softened slightly, but her tone remained cold: "What are you doing here?"

Li Chuqiu honestly confessed: "Lord Xu ordered me to come and help Vice Commander Liu capture that monster."

Liu Xu stared at him coldly: "Then why didn't you help?"

Li Chuqiu spread his hands and said honestly, "My martial arts skills are weak. I couldn't catch up with that monster when I arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xu paused for a moment, then said, "Go and report immediately, ordering the Tianxuan Division to conduct a city-wide search and capture the demon."

"Yes."

Li Chuqiu accepted the order and was about to leave when she noticed the woman's face growing increasingly pale and her breathing becoming more and more rapid. She instinctively asked, "Are you... alright?"

"I'm fine!"

Liu Xu looked away, her voice still cold, but with a slight tremor, and a blush appeared on her snow-white profile hidden by her black hair.

She sheathed her sword and turned to leave, but as soon as she took a step, a dizzying sense of powerlessness washed over her, and the burning sensation she had been suppressing could no longer be contained.

"Um……"

A clear, melodious panting sound rang out, Liu Xu's delicate body trembled, the silver sword in her hand fell to the ground, and she staggered a step before kneeling on the ground.

An unexpected turn of events.

"Deputy Commander Liu, you...are you really alright?!"

At this moment, in Li Chuqiu's view, the usually aloof Deputy Commander Liu was kneeling on the ground in an extremely ungraceful posture. His face was flushed, his breathing was rapid, and there was a faint sound...

Why does this scene look so familiar?

It's like I've been drugged?

At this moment, Liu Xu also panicked!

She clearly felt the changes in her body, especially when there was a man next to her; the intense heat within her body involuntarily reacted.

Her consciousness began to blur, and under the influence of the drug, she felt weak all over, and an inexplicable impulse surged up.

not good!

It's going to break!

Suppressing the last vestiges of clarity in her mind, Liu Xu reached into her bosom and took out a delicate little porcelain bottle. Trembling, she tried to open the bottle, but her hand suddenly trembled, and the bottle fell to the ground. A pill emitting a faint fragrance fell out of the bottle and rolled right to Li Chuqiu's feet.

Liu Xu instinctively tried to pick it up, but she was too weak to reach out.

"Vice Commander Liu?!"

The familiar male voice reached her ears, as if stirring up some kind of impulse in her heart.

Liu Xu's heart skipped a beat, and she suppressed her emotions in a low voice: "The medicine..."

Li Chuqiu bent down, picked up the pills at her feet, and was about to look up and say something when she suddenly froze.

From Li Chuqiu's perspective, the once aloof and detached Deputy Commander Liu, who was decisive and ruthless in his actions, was now kneeling on the ground, his hands supporting him as he struggled to lift his head.

Beneath her disheveled hair, a stunningly beautiful face, already flushed crimson, was revealed. Her once cool and aloof eyes were now filled with a dazed look, her breathing became increasingly rapid, and her thin, luscious red lips parted slightly, exhaling a fragrant breath as she gazed at him with an 'pitiful' expression.

No, you're trying to seduce him like that?!

Who could resist such a contrast?

At this moment, Li Chuqiu was certain that this Deputy Commander Liu had definitely been drugged!

Moreover, the medicine had already taken effect, and its effects were extremely strong; even the 'untainted by worldly affairs' Deputy Commander Liu could not withstand it at all.

Countless "inappropriate for children" images immediately flashed through Li Chuqiu's mind... He had read plenty of those erotic novels written by poor scholars, so he was all too familiar with the scene before him!

What should I do next?

Hide the medicine and take advantage of her when it takes effect?

...and then make her take responsibility for herself afterward by crying and wailing?

……

Just as Liu Xu's consciousness was almost at its limit, Li Chuqiu approached and presented her with the pill.

"for you!"

Liu Xu, disregarding her disheveled state, tremblingly reached out to take the pill.

She tried several times but failed to get it, and her anxiety grew. The heat within her body intensified, as if it would burn her whole being.

A series of rapid, muffled groans and faint, almost inaudible sounds emanated from her throat, sweet and alluring. As Li Chuqiu drew closer, he could clearly smell the woman's faint body fragrance; under the influence of the drug, the air seemed to carry a hint of ambiguity.

Seeing that the woman was barely holding the medicine and was about to lose consciousness as the effects of the drug took hold, she was turning into a puppy in heat.

"Don't move, I'll feed you."

As she spoke, Li Chuqiu held the pill to Liu Xu's lips: "Open your mouth."

His voice seemed to have a magical power as it rang in Liu Xu's ears. She subconsciously opened her mouth, and Li Chuqiu successfully put the pill into her mouth.

As her fingertips lightly touched a damp spot, a ripple of emotion stirred in Li Chuqiu's heart.

Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he suddenly felt his index finger being tightly enveloped by this warm and smooth touch.

"hiss!"

No, this woman...
