Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 174 - 118: Do You Want Me to Help You?
Si Ye frowned. "This is a huge inn, and you don’t have any other rooms? I don’t see that many guests here."
The Shopkeeper’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly said respectfully, "Rooms... yes, of course we have rooms. It’s just that we only have a few standard rooms left. The furnishings are a bit simpler. If our esteemed guest doesn’t mind, you are of course welcome to stay in one!"
Scions of powerful families were accustomed to a life of luxury since birth; how could they possibly accept subpar accommodations? Thinking that it was a suite anyway, Si Ye nodded. "Forget it. We’ll stay in this one."
The "Heaven" tier room was lavishly furnished and spacious. A stone wall partitioned the suite into inner and outer sections, making it no different from two separate rooms. However, there was only one bathroom.
Si Ye announced he was going to take a bath and proceeded to take off his shirt right in front of Sang Luo.
His powerful and perfect physique was on full display—broad, firm shoulders, a lean, narrow waist with distinct dimples, and alluring, sexy, light honey-toned skin.
It was obvious he trained and practiced martial arts often. Every line of muscle was perfectly defined, not at all exaggerated. He had the kind of young man’s build that looked lean in clothes but was ripped underneath.
Sang Luo’s eyes were glued to him. She poured a glass of Water and completely forgot to drink it.
Si Ye had just taken off his necklace and earring when he paused his movements, frowned, and shot a glance at her.
"What are you looking at? Keep staring and I’ll gouge your eyes out."
’What’s a big guy like him staring at me for? It really gives me the creeps!’
Si Ye hesitated for a moment, then pulled his shirt back on. He went straight into the bathroom and locked the door from the inside.
He didn’t forget to toss out a final threat, "If you dare take a single peek, this Young Master will have you flayed, your tendons ripped out, and your body deep-fried in oil!"
"..." ’That mouth of his... he’s just as rude to males as he is to females. No wonder he’s single, despite his noble status and incredible talent.’
’Winning this guy over is going to be tough.’
It wasn’t that Sang Luo was narcissistic, but her true appearance held an undeniable allure for males. Basically, any male she’d ever met, she could have for herself if she so wished. But now, she felt a bit hesitant. This man was clearly different from the others she had encountered. He didn’t seem very interested in females. Judging by Si Ye’s previous attitude toward females, you could even call it disgust.
After Si Ye finished his bath, Sang Luo tried to strike up a conversation a few times, but he completely ignored her.
She didn’t try to court his rejection again.
Like typical guests in separate rooms, they remained on either side of the wall and didn’t speak another word.
「Until night fell.」
Sang Luo was drifting in a hazy sleep when she smelled a strange, exotic fragrance. The scent came on suddenly and intensely. She had only inhaled a trace of it and hadn’t even had time to use Purification to dispel it before her consciousness faded to black.
When she opened her eyes again, she was locked in a prison cell.
Locked in with her was Si Ye.
He was also just waking up. When he saw the prison cell before him, his expression turned utterly grim.
Not far away, the sounds of passionate lovemaking could be heard.
One of the voices sounded a little familiar to Sang Luo. She remembered—it was the Sky Tiger Clan female, Zhi Zhen, whom she had encountered at the Treasure Stone Pavilion two days ago.
’Looks like I got dragged into this because of Si Ye.’
Zhi Zhen’s target was Si Ye. She just happened to be in the same suite with him and was knocked out and brought here along with him.
"Dammit..." Si Ye’s voice was soft and weak. He lay on the ground in a pathetic state, an unnatural flush rising on his face.
Feeling the strange reaction slowly building in his body, his expression stiffened further. ’That female! She actually used an aphrodisiac on me!’
It was a top-grade knockout drug; anyone below Emperor Rank would fall victim to it.
Sang Luo untied the ropes on her hands, stood up, and brushed off her clothes. One look at him and she immediately understood what was happening.
Seeing that she was completely unaffected, Si Ye’s red eyes, which were gradually turning hazy, widened. "You... How are you okay?"
Sang Luo said, "This kind of aphrodisiac only works on males."
"What?" His mind was already muddled, and now he was struck dumb with a rare bewilderment. "You..."
Sang Luo dropped her disguise, transforming back to her original appearance—black hair, snow-white skin, and a beautiful figure. Si Ye’s breath caught in his throat, his pupils shrinking slightly. Sang Luo, meanwhile, glanced down at his lower body, a smirk playing on her lips as she asked sweetly, "Need me to help you out?"
"I don’t!" he bit out through clenched teeth, forcefully wrestling his reason back into control.
Sang Luo didn’t want to take advantage of his predicament, but she glanced toward the cell door again. The affair out there was about to end, and he would be next.
"Are you sure you don’t need my help? That noble female brought several powerful experts with her. I can’t beat them. The only way for us to escape right now is for me to help you counteract the drug’s effects. Then, you can take them down and get me out of here. Otherwise, in your current state, you’re completely powerless to resist. You’ll just have to submit to that noble female."
A sharp killing intent flashed in Si Ye’s eyes. He was completely drained of strength; aside from that *one place*, every part of him was soft. He couldn’t muster a single shred of power. To wait for his body to naturally purge the drug’s effects would take at least an hour... It was just as she said—he was utterly powerless to resist!
A few seconds later, Si Ye’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed. Gritting his teeth, he resigned himself to his fate. "Get over here!"
After speaking, he closed his eyes. ’Even if she takes me, it’s better than submitting to that vicious female.’
Sang Luo had just walked over when she heard him say,
"Females are truly all bad news!"
"..." ’I’m about to help him with the aphrodisiac, so why is he lumping me in with them?’
’Fine, I admit it. I could take care of those people outside with a flick of a finger. I was just saying that on purpose.’
’I want to obtain his power. If we could develop feelings and have a child, that would be for the best. But even if we part ways later, it doesn’t matter. A one-night stand is the most burden-free option. An opportunity like this, delivered on a silver platter, would be a waste not to take. I can get what I want without having to bear any consequences.’
’However, that comment of his really set her off. You know what? I’m not going to take him today after all!’
Sang Luo knelt beside Si Ye, grabbed his clothes, and then leaned down and pressed her mouth to his. It was less of a kiss and more of a forceful bite, drawing a faint, muffled groan from him.
At the same time, she activated the Purification Power within her body.
Soon, the reaction that had arisen in Si Ye due to the drug’s effect calmed down.
He opened his eyes and stared at her in shock.
Sang Luo gave a dazzling smile. "Relax, we don’t have to do *that*. I have the Purification Talent, so I can help you counteract it."
"Then... why did you kiss me just now!" Even though the drug’s effects were gone, Si Ye’s face was still flushed red.
Sang Luo stared at his alluring, lustrous red lips, raised an eyebrow, and smiled. "Payment."
Si Ye immediately turned his head away, refusing to look at her, but the tips of his ears were completely red. In an instant, he broke free of his bonds, got to his feet, and tossed a sentence at Sang Luo. "You, you stay here for now. Don’t wander off."
He vanished in a flash of teleportation. Sang Luo didn’t even need to use her spiritual power to follow him to know what was happening.
After a few screams, everything went silent over there. Si Ye was gone for less than half a minute. When he returned, his brocade robes were spattered with a few drops of blood, and a faint scent of gore clung to him.
Si Ye didn’t say a word. He swept Sang Luo into his arms and teleported out of the prison cell, reappearing in a deserted, open forest.
"About today... it was my negligence that got you involved. But you..." He trailed off, glancing at her red lips. His handsome face flushed suspiciously before he turned away, crossing his arms and staring into the air. "It’s not safe for a delicate female like you to be traveling alone. Do you want to go back to the city, or somewhere else? I’ll escort you."
’He’s treating me like some weak little female with no power.’
Sang Luo smiled mischievously to herself. She took a step forward, closing the distance between them. "And where is the Young Master headed?"
