Supreme Dragon Seal
Chapter 174: Aphrodisiac

Qi Bei, who had been observing all along, furrowed his brow. Although he felt it was too coincidental, he couldn’t afford to hesitate in this situation. If this happened to be a real incident, it would be a waste to let the girl suffer needlessly.

But his current identity…

“Stop!” Qi Bei shouted and rushed forward, swinging his long sword and unleashing two Qi strikes towards the two Goths who were pulling the girl.

The two Goths seemed stunned by Qi Bei’s sudden attack and couldn’t react in time. Their heads flew up like balloons, and the girl let out a scream, blood splattering all over her face.

Immediately, the remaining Goths aimed their goblin weapons at Qi Bei. However, in an instant, they turned around in terror, as if they had seen a ghost, and fled. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NøvᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Qi Bei was taken aback. His current identity was just a novice warrior, and he had planned to escape after delivering a single blow under the cover of a magic smoke bomb. But just by beheading two of them with one strike, he frightened these Goths?

No, something wasn’t right. They were about to strike back, but when they looked at him…

Qi Bei raised an eyebrow and looked behind him, only to see the girl covered in blood, huddled up and trembling.

When he looked at her, the girl lifted her gaze, her lips trembling as she said, “Please, take me… take me away…”

“Alright.” Qi Bei reached out his hand. The girl placed her small hand in his palm, and he helped her to her feet.

And so, Qi Bei gained a companion by his side, a girl who held his hand tightly and refused to let go. She was a pitiful and beautiful girl, enough to evoke pity from any man.

“What’s your name?” Qi Bei asked her.

“Ye Longsha. And you?” The girl timidly replied.

“Shi Liumang,” Qi Bei said.

“Hoodlum?” The girl paused.

Qi Bei explained once again, which brightened the girl’s sorrowful expression for a moment.

“Ye Longsha, where do you want to go?” He asked.

“I… my home is in the Golden Leaf Imperial City. Can you take me there?” Ye Longsha bit her lip.

“Alright.” Qi Bei’s gaze swept across Ye Longsha’s beautiful face, and he agreed.

Throughout the journey, he only asked the girl’s name and nothing about her identity or why she was fighting against the Goths.

Soon, the two arrived at the magnificent Golden Fortress. After paying the entrance fee, they entered smoothly.

However, inside the Golden Fortress, there was a long sealed passage that led to the border city. This passage was built to prevent spies from infiltrating the fortress and launching a surprise attack. If the Golden Fortress were to fall, the rule of the Golden Leaf Empire in the southern region would immediately collapse.

The three carriages from the Sunset Royal Academy were ready to depart. Dean Mo gazed in the direction of the forbidden forest, his eyes filled with deep contemplation.

“It seems that the situation is more dangerous than expected,” He thought to himself, withdrawing his gaze.

At that moment, Feng Ruoyun and Feng Ruoyu, the sisters, arrived and instantly became the center of attention.

“Ruoyu, come up quickly. We’re about to leave,” Huo Siqin shouted from the carriage.

Feng Ruoyu nodded with a smile and said to Feng Ruoyun, “Sister, I’m leaving. Aren’t you coming with me?”

“Go ahead,” Feng Ruoyun patted her little sister’s shoulder.

The three carriages started simultaneously, slowly moving forward.

“Wait, Principal, you’re not being very considerate. Didn’t we agree to wait for me?” Qi Bei’s voice came at that moment.

Everyone looked back and saw Qi Bei running towards them, pulling a beautiful girl and panting heavily.

Dean Mo’s gaze flickered for a moment, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth. If this kid came back alive, it meant he succeeded.

“It’s fine to bring one more person, right?” Qi Bei said.

The male students saw Ye Longsha, who was holding Qi Bei’s hand, and their eyes widened with jealousy. This guy was incredibly lucky. With his appearance, he managed to deceive such a fairy-like girl.

“Get on,” Dean Mo glanced at Ye Longsha and said briefly.

They both boarded the carriage. Suddenly, Qi Bei felt a sense of awareness and turned around, locking eyes with a pair of wise and perceptive beautiful eyes. The owner of those eyes was his future sister-in-law, Feng Ruoyun.

Qi Bei grinned at her and then averted his gaze.

Feng Ruoyun watched the three carriages moving away, her beautiful eyes lowered, and suddenly she raised her head with a complex expression.

…

On top of a thousand-meter cliff in the eastern region of the Golden Leaf Empire.

Yan Shengyi, clad in the bright Holy Armor, stood at the top of the cliff, looking down at the obscured scenery below, faintly discernible, much like her current mood.

Just then, a ray of light suddenly shot from the sky, transforming into a figure appearing behind her.

Yan Shengyi turned her head, but retracted her eyes instantly as if in pain, bowing her body respectfully and devoutly. “Chief Judge of the Light Temple, I greet the envoy.”

“Yan Shengyi, you are appointed as the Light Temple Envoy and entrusted with full authority to eradicate the rebellion of the dark faction. It is suspected that the 800-year grand anniversary of the Nord Family of the Golden Leaf Empire may be summoning the dark forces from the nine layers of the Netherworld. You are to investigate with your troops, prevent the Nord Family’s grand anniversary , and if they are truly colluding with the dark faction, erase the Nord Family from this world.” The envoy spoke while radiating divine light.

“Rest assured, envoy. I will do my utmost to prevent such a thing from happening,” Yan Shengyi replied.

“Very well. Additionally, keep an eye on the disciples of the five Holy Lands and see if any of them possess divinity,” the envoy said.

“Yes,” Yan Shengyi nodded. It seemed that the temple needed to replenish its bloodline, but finding disciples with divinity was extremely difficult.

The envoy didn’t say anything further and transformed into a ray of light, disappearing into the sky once again.

Yan Shengyi pondered for a moment, her gaze turning towards the direction of the Golden Leaf Empire. It seemed that she would also have to gather some people and join in the excitement.

…

Night fell, and the expedition team set up camp.

Qi Bei sat under a big tree, with Xiao Zi jumping around on him, chirping and playing.

“What a beautiful little bird. Can I touch it?” Ye Longsha asked softly.

Qi Bei handed Xiao Zi, who was perched on his palm, to her. However, when Ye Longsha reached out to touch its feathers, its sharp beak quickly pecked towards her hand.

“Zing!” A spark of electricity emerged from the beak, causing Ye Longsha’s delicate body to tremble, even her flowing hair stood on end for a moment.

Qi Bei glanced at Ye Longsha’s scalp, his gaze slightly focusing. Then he looked worried and said, “Longsha, are you okay? Xiao Zi has never acted like this before. I don’t know what happened today.”

Indeed, when Xiao Zi played with the students before, it often hopped around on their bodies. Its favorites were Feng Ruoyu and Huo Siqin. It had never shown any hostility towards anyone, but today was the first time, and its target was the pitiful Ye Longsha.

“It’s… it’s nothing,” Ye Longsha smoothed her hair, lowered her head, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

At midnight, thunder suddenly resounded in the sky, and heavy rain poured down.

At that moment, Qi Bei suddenly caught a faint fragrance.

“Aphrodisiac!” Qi Bei’s internal energy instantly neutralized the effects of the drug. His gaze turned towards the other side of the curtain, where Ye Longsha was sleeping. She insisted on sharing the same tent.

After a while, Ye Longsha’s voice came through, “Brother Shi, Brother Shi…”

Qi Bei remained calm, his eyes closed, and his breathing steady.

Ye Longsha walked out from behind the curtain and approached Qi Bei. She gently pushed him, but seeing that he had no response, she slipped out of the tent.

Qi Bei’s consciousness dispersed, following her.

After Ye Longsha left, she put on a cloak and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

An invisibility cloak?

Qi Bei was astonished, but although her figure was gone, his consciousness had locked onto her. After a while, he noticed that Ye Longsha had entered Feng Ruoyu’s tent.

Once inside, Ye Longsha released the aphrodisiac again. Then, she took out a purple pill, dropped a drop of her own blood on it, and opened Feng Ruoyu’s sleeping mouth to feed her the pill.

Afterwards, Ye Longsha returned silently. She glanced at the sleeping Qi Bei and suddenly walked up to him, putting on a glove and then slipping it into his collar, intending to catch Xiao Zi.

But just then, Qi Bei seemed to mutter under his breath. His body turned, and he directly tackled Ye Longsha, bringing her down onto him.

Ye Longsha’s delicate body stiffened, afraid to move. She had heard before that those affected by the aphrodisiac wouldn’t be able to resist.

Then, Qi Bei held her slender waist with one hand and, unexpectedly, placed the other hand directly on her ample chest.

“Ruoyu…” Qi Bei murmured, while his hand couldn’t help but start kneading.

Ye Longsha trembled slightly and took out a jade bottle with her other hand, placing it directly under Qi Bei’s nose. Faint bluish smoke was inhaled by him.

After inhaling it, Qi Bei’s movements came to a halt, and his hands became limp on either side.

Ye Longsha breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the dosage was not enough, and she had wasted her efforts on him. However, she didn’t want to get involved any further. She climbed off Qi Bei and wanted to hastily return to the other side of the camp.

But all of a sudden, Ye Longsha’s head drooped, and she lost consciousness.

Meanwhile, Qi Bei swiftly entered Feng Ruoyu’s tent. With a pat on her chest, the purple pill shot out from her mouth and was held suspended in mid-air by him.

As it turned out, when Ye Longsha fed the purple pill to Feng Ruoyu, Qi Bei had enveloped it with his consciousness. So now, retrieving it was effortless.

“The Witch Pill. When taken, target will be controlled without self-awareness. The methods to break the control are: first, directly destroy the witch power permeating the body; second, kill the practitioner.” Like before, a message came from the black longsword.

“So, Ye Longsha staged such an elaborated show just to control Feng Ruoyu?” Qi Bei pondered to himself.
