Chapter 19

After Linghu Chong and Yiqing returned to Yue Buqun and Dingyi, they shook their heads, indicating that Tian Boguang and Yilin were not found in the brothel.

Under the moonlight, Du Yu witnessed Yue Buqun shouting to Dingyi, "The thief Tian Boguang must have sensed our presence and fled in a hurry. He couldn't have gone far. Let's thoroughly search the surrounding area!"

Dingyi nodded in agreement, and with a wave of her sleeve, the female nuns from Hengshan Sect spread out, swiftly clearing out the brothel. Within moments, all the patrons and courtesans were driven out, leaving only a chaotic mess in the cold night wind.

Meanwhile, Tian Boguang, carrying Yilin, entered a room and locked the doors and windows. Suddenly, he turned to Du Yu and delivered a strong kick to his leg, causing Du Yu to fall to his knees.

Du Yu, shocked and in pain, exclaimed, "Brother, why?"

Tian Boguang stopped him, saying, "I'm not your brother! I made it clear that the last time I let you off the hook for letting Yilin escape, but if you dare to repeat your actions..."

His face twisted with ferocity, radiating a murderous aura. "As a brother, I can only show no mercy!"

Du Yu forced a smile and said, "Brother, I didn't go to rescue Yilin again."

Tian Boguang sneered, "What was written on the note you secretly passed to Linghu Chong during the banquet? How did Yue Buqun and Dingyi discover my hiding place?"

Du Yu's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't been careful enough. Yilin had seen him passing the note to Linghu Chong, so how could the sharp-witted Tian Boguang have missed it?

Realizing his mistake, Du Yu looked at Yilin with a sense of dread.

Forced by Tian Boguang, Yilin was thrown onto the bed.

Du Yu shouted angrily, "Tian Boguang, what are you doing?"

He tried to struggle and stand up, but his legs felt numb, leaving him unable to move.

Tian Boguang laughed obscenely, saying, "I used pressure points on your legs earlier, making you unable to move. Don't you desire Yilin? You were willing to confront me multiple times for her sake. Tonight, I will enjoy her in front of you. It will be quite the spectacle!"

Yilin's cheeks flushed, and she cried out, "You wicked thief! The gods, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas will never let you get away with this! Even if I have to die, I will never succumb to you!"

With tear-filled eyes, she cast a longing glance at Du Yu, sobbing, "Brother Du! It's my foolishness that has caused you harm. If there is an afterlife, I will do whatever it takes..."

Before she could finish speaking, Tian Boguang applied pressure to her acupuncture points, rendering her unable to speak or even bite her tongue to end her life.

Tian Boguang laughed wildly, tearing off Yilin's loose green robe. Though Yilin was rendered helpless by the acupuncture, her mind remained clear. In front of Tian Boguang's overwhelming power, she had no means to resist. She resembled a lamb in the mouth of a vicious tiger, casting only despairing gazes filled with tears towards Du Yu.

Enraged, Du Yu's heart burned with fury. Tian Boguang's actions were beyond depraved!

But there was more to Tian Boguang's plan. With a lewd smile, he pulled out a pill from his pocket and said to Du Yu, "You claim to be skilled in lovemaking, but I remain unconvinced. This pill is called the 'Jiuxiao Yunwai Pill.' I concocted it using nine of the world's most intoxicating flowers, nine types of aphrodisiac grass, and nine kinds of exotic animal blood. When a woman takes it, she will be uncontrollably aroused for three hours. Even the most virtuous woman will turn into a lustful creature, desiring any man who touches her. Not to mention this beautiful little nun. Even if it were Dingyi herself, she would become an insatiable seductress. Haha!"

Du Yu's anger flared, realizing that Tian Boguang possessed such a potent aphrodisiac. Yilin was in grave danger.

Tian Boguang continued, "However, this pill has its side effects. If a woman doesn't take the antidote within an hour, she will go insane. Additionally, after taking the pill, her body will undergo profound changes that can greatly enhance her martial arts cultivation. But she must take the antidote every seven days, or she will descend into madness."

Du Yu asked through gritted teeth, "What is the antidote?"

Tian Boguang chuckled, "It's a man."

Du Yu was momentarily speechless. Tian Boguang's cunning knew no bounds. If this pill were used on righteous women of the martial world, Tian Boguang would have complete control over them.

Tian Boguang spoke with an air of feigned sadness and compassion, "I developed this pill specifically to deal with those righteous women in the martial world. Preparing the various ingredients, such as acacia flowers and love grass, requires tremendous effort. If a woman consumes it, aside from the two side effects, each time she takes the antidote, her martial arts skills will improve. It's a pity that I, Tian Boguang, am willing to endure the fragrance and cherish the beauty. To pass on the skills and karma, I had to save little Yilin. It's all for her benefit, allowing her to advance and become a master as soon as possible. Sacrificing my own life and cultivation, it's a true act of compassion."

Amidst his words, he displayed a contemplative expression, greedily eying Yilin's partially exposed breasts, his salacious intentions evident. After a while, he shook his head and said, "No! I can't let her go. Yilin is too beautiful, with an exquisite figure. I can't let her slip through my fingers."

A sneer played across Du Yu's face. Tian Boguang was acting, and Du Yu was determined to outplay him. This was the perfect opportunity to improve his favorability with Tian Boguang.

Du Yu assumed a resolute expression and said, "Tian Boguang! I must confess, I fell in love with Yilin at first sight. I have become deeply enamored with her, and I can't escape my feelings!"

Upon hearing these words, Tian Boguang's face twisted with a mocking expression, while Yilin's cheeks blushed, a mix of shame and sweetness washing over her. If it weren't for her restricted movements due to the pressure points, she would have fled like a startled deer.
