‘What’s going on? Why do I feel so strange?’
Ao Yiyi didn’t know exactly what was happening; she only felt an unbearable heat and restlessness in her heart, and her mental state began to turn peculiar.
She looked at Su Qing, and that heat and impatience intensified. She felt a frantic urgency, as if she were missing something vital.
At the same time, her cheeks gradually flushed, and even the tips of her ears turned a deep crimson.
Su Qing had been mid-sentence, but she noticed the change in Ao Yiyi.
Her brow furrowed slightly as she sensed something was off. "Yiyi, are you alright?"
Ao Yiyi panted heavily and shook her head. "I’m fine, I’m fine... Don’t talk to me. I’m going back to my room to stay for a while."
Hearing Su Qing speak only made the heat in her heart surge, even sparking an impulse to pounce and embrace her.
She realized then that things were taking a turn for the worse.
Without waiting for Su Qing’s response, she turned and hurried toward her room.
As she left, her steps were unsteady and rushed, her breathing heavy and labored—as if she were desperately suppressing something.
Once Ao Yiyi was gone, Su Qing looked up at Jin Xin and then at the teapot.
"You... don’t tell me you didn’t just spike my cup, but the whole teapot instead?" Su Qing’s mouth twitched as she asked.
Jin Xin nodded and explained, "I thought it would be harder for you to notice if I did it that way. I didn’t expect you to see through it at a glance! But Ao Yiyi’s involvement was truly an accident. By the time I noticed, it was already too late!"
Jin Xin wasn’t lying about that. Her target had always been Su Qing; she had no intention of harming anyone else.
At most, she would harass others with strange comments...
But drugging someone else was something she truly wouldn't do.
After all, the one she wanted to win over had always been Su Qing.
Su Qing stared at Jin Xin for a long time before sighing. "This potency... isn't it a bit too much? Ao Yiyi’s strength isn’t weak at all! How..."
"To ensure it worked on you, Big Green Sister, I naturally used a very strong dose. Who knew that even with such a potent drug, it wouldn't affect you at all?"
Jin Xin spoke with a hint of helplessness:
"I also didn’t expect Ao Yiyi to drink from the teapot. I was originally planning to drink it with you, so we could share a moment of intimacy together!"
Jin Xin had put a lot of effort into this medicine...
In the end, not only was it useless against her target, but it had also caught an innocent bystander in the crossfire.
Hearing this, Su Qing looked at her gloomily and said, "Don't do this kind of thing ever again..."
Jin Xin nodded and said, "I understand, Big Green Sister. Next time, I’ll do better! I’ll make sure this kind of situation doesn't happen again. Don't worry!"
Jin Xin didn't listen to Su Qing at all, remaining as headstrong as ever.
This left Su Qing quite helpless. She could only sigh and say, "Really... there’s just no doing anything with you. Fine, do as you wish. I’m going to check on Ao Yiyi... even an aphrodisiac has an antidote. I just don’t know if she’ll dare to let me in..."
With that, Su Qing stood up and headed toward Ao Yiyi’s room.
Watching her go, Jin Xin’s eyes flickered as she pondered: 'Does my aphrodisiac even have an antidote?'
To be honest, Jin Xin wasn't sure herself.
When she refined the drug, she hadn't considered that question at all.
Since Su Qing’s cultivation was extremely high and she herself practiced this path, Jin Xin had only focused on achieving her goal, never considering how to undo it.
Of course, it wasn't that it couldn't be undone.
It was just that, for her, the only way to resolve it was to completely vent one’s desires...
Watching Su Qing walk away, Jin Xin shook her head and thought: 'Forget it, it’s none of my business. I just wonder... will Big Green Sister make a move on Ao Yiyi? I remember... she likes Dragon Girls the most, doesn't she?'
Although Jin Xin had never left Su Qing’s side, she had accompanied her to the Northern Continent.
Naturally, she could guess Su Qing's preference for Dragon Girls.
After all, if she didn't like them, why would her house be full of Dragon Girl maids?
There was even a Dragon Girl assistant official.
'If she really makes a move on her, I’ll be quite jealous,' Jin Xin sighed inwardly, thinking: 'I’ve spent so much time and energy and haven't managed to pull it off.'
However, despite her worries, Jin Xin didn't do anything extra.
She simply leaned on the table, playing with the still-warm teapot, thinking about how to win over Su Qing next.
She couldn't control what Su Qing did. Even if Su Qing really did those things, she wouldn't—and couldn't—stop her.
At most, she would feel a bit of jealousy, but that was all.
After all, her emotions were naturally quite thin...
She wouldn't do anything because of this; she would just continue with her own plans.
Inside the room, Ao Yiyi was gasping for air.
She felt her body burning, her bones felt soft, and it was as if ants were crawling under her skin.
Even worse, filthy thoughts kept surfacing in her mind...
And to make matters even more dire, the object of her fantasies was Su Qing.
'What is happening?' Ao Yiyi crawled onto the bed, resisting the urge to touch herself while her mind raced in frustration. 'Is it because of that tea?'
Earlier, she had only thought about leaving and getting away from Su Qing to avoid doing anything inappropriate, so she hadn't had time to think.
Now that she was back in her room, Ao Yiyi was certain the tea had been spiked.
She was also sure the substance was some kind of aphrodisiac. Being someone who had studied medicine, she could figure that much out.
If it wasn't an aphrodisiac, it wouldn't have produced such an effect.
However, she knew this wasn't Su Qing’s fault. Su Qing had no need or reason to play such a trick on her.
This was definitely Jin Xin’s doing...
Of course, she also understood that Jin Xin hadn't targeted her intentionally.
Jin Xin’s goal had always been Su Qing.
She had never shown any interest in the others in the household, aside from telling the occasional lewd joke.
This time...
No one was really to blame. It was just her bad luck to have stumbled into Jin Xin’s scheme and drunk a cup of that tea.
"No, it’s so hard... so hot."
Though Ao Yiyi understood the situation, her body’s physical reactions were difficult to stop.
She was reaching her breaking point.
"I have to find an antidote, otherwise... I’ll have to release this desire. But... but if I do that, I’ll be breaking my precepts..."
Ao Yiyi bit her lower lip hard, her cheeks so red they looked as if they might bleed. She was still holding on:
"I’ll try a Heart-Clearing... forget it, it’s useless."
To find an antidote, she would have to find Jin Xin, but she was afraid that if she went out like this, she would lose control and do something even more transgressive.
But if she released it herself...
That wasn't good either.
Doing such a thing was no different from breaking her precepts.
Ao Yiyi held out for a while longer.
Finally, she couldn't take it anymore.
She made a difficult decision...
She would release it herself.
There was no choice; it was a matter of self-preservation.
If she kept it bottled up, it might lead to even greater trouble...
Choosing the lesser of two evils, Ao Yiyi was not someone who couldn't adapt.
And so, Ao Yiyi clumsily began to release her desire...
She had never done such a thing before; everything was guided solely by instinct.
Even so, the process gave her an exceptionally subtle sensation. That bone-deep pleasure caused her to lose herself for a moment.
Fortunately, having practiced Buddhism for so many years, she quickly stabilized her mind and didn't allow herself to sink entirely into the lust.
However, while she didn't lose herself, her mind was still filled with wandering thoughts. Su Qing even appeared in her fantasies, and in those fantasies, she was the one with her.
As for why this was happening...
Ao Yiyi didn't know.
At this moment, she had no way to think clearly.
How much logic remains in someone overcome by desire?
Whomever she thought of was purely a matter of instinct.
Ao Yiyi didn't even stop to wonder why the person her heart associated with this was Su Qing.
Just as the sensations were growing more intense, there was a knock at the door.
Su Qing’s voice drifted in from outside.
Ao Yiyi’s body stiffened instantly, and she quickly covered her mouth...
But in the end, she still managed to reply, "Big Green Sister... you, you don't need to worry about me. Let me be alone for a bit. I... I can handle it myself."
Hearing this, Su Qing was silent for a moment before finally nodding. "Very well, I understand. But if you need anything, you can call me. I can help you mix an antidote... though I can't guarantee it will work."
Su Qing had thought about insisting, but then she realized that saying more might be misunderstood, so she gave up for the time being.
After all, her reputation was already problematic.
Plus, she was widely believed to be a woman who liked Dragon Girls the most.
What a slanderous accusation!
It just so happened that there were many Dragon Girls around her.
Besides, she liked all beast-girls!
After Su Qing finished speaking, there was a pause before a voice came from inside: "Mhm, Big Green Sister... just don't worry about me."
Su Qing nodded silently and went back to find Jin Xin.
After Su Qing left, Ao Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief and continued with what she was doing.
However, after Su Qing’s appearance, the things she imagined became increasingly outrageous.
And the protagonists remained herself and Su Qing.
Still, she didn't think too much about it, only hoping to release her desire as quickly as possible.
Su Qing returned to sit across from Jin Xin and took out a jar of wine to drink.
Jin Xin was slightly surprised to see Su Qing back so soon, and she couldn't help but feel a secret sense of relief.
It seemed nothing had happened between them.
‘So this kind of emotion is also quite interesting?’ Jin Xin thought.
Then, she took out a wine cup and said with a smile, "Do you want me to drink with you, Big Green Sister? Once I’m drunk, you can do whatever you want with me~"
Jin Xin’s behavior was exactly as before, showing no change at all. No one could have guessed her internal monologue from a moment ago.
Su Qing curled her lip and said, "Drinking is fine, but getting drunk is out of the question. A slight buzz is the limit. Besides, I won’t be doing 'whatever I want' with you, so don't bother with those schemes. It won't work!"
Su Qing was more than willing to have Jin Xin drink with her, but getting drunk or letting Jin Xin get drunk was unnecessary.
Heng’e was a huge trouble when drunk.
And if Jin Xin got drunk, the trouble would likely be even greater.
Hearing this, Jin Xin remained smiling, her expression unchanged. "I’ll just focus on getting drunk. Whether you do whatever you want is up to you, Big Green Sister. By the way, how is Ao Yiyi?"
As Jin Xin spoke, she poured wine into her cup.
Su Qing replied, "Ao Yiyi told me not to worry about her. I expect she plans to handle it herself."
Jin Xin understood immediately what Su Qing meant by "handle it herself."
After all, she hadn't read all those books for nothing; her mind was well-stocked with such knowledge!
"Ah, that is indeed one way. Though I expect it won't be over anytime soon. But that’s fine; I can stay here and drink and chat with you, Sister. Oh, right, should we call Hu Lin’er to join us for a drink?"
Jin Xin asked, holding her wine cup.
Hu Lin’er was usually quite free. She handled most of the housework and other miscellaneous chores.
Otherwise, how could Su Qing and the others be so idle?
"Let's call her. We shouldn't let her work too hard. It wouldn't be good if she got exhausted," Su Qing nodded.
Jin Xin smiled and said, "Alright, I’ll go get her. Wait a moment, Big Green Sister."
With that, Jin Xin left to find Hu Lin’er.
Before long, Hu Lin’er was brought over to join the drinking.
The few of them gathered together, drinking and chatting.
Time passed quickly.
During this time, Ao Yiyi remained busy with her own affairs.
She gradually went from being clumsy to more practiced...
At the same time, her limbs felt very weak and sore.
After about two hours, Ao Yiyi finally emerged from her room.
Once out, she walked straight into the bathroom, ignoring Su Qing and the others.
Seeing this, Su Qing didn't say much...
She simply watched her enter the bathroom.
‘It seems this aphrodisiac really made Ao Yiyi mature a lot.’
Thinking of her appearance, Su Qing couldn't help but smile helplessly to herself.
Then, she drained her wine in one gulp...
