If you force me to take the blame, I'll spend a day in jail and gain a year's worth of spi

The main street of the capital city is bustling.

Jiang Luohan tightly covered her still swollen and red cheeks with her sleeves, wanting only to leave this place that made her feel extremely humiliated and angry as soon as possible.

She kept circulating her internal energy, trying to use her inner strength to dissolve the bruises on her face.

However, just as her blood and qi were circulating rapidly, an indescribable strange sensation suddenly surged from deep within her lower abdomen.

Immediately afterwards, an inexplicable heat rose from the deepest part of my body and instantly swept over my entire body.

"What... what's going on?"

Jiang Luohan was startled and immediately realized that something was wrong.

She was not an ignorant young lady; she had heard of some despicable methods.

This feeling... is clearly that I've been drugged.

That's right, it's because she inhaled the remaining love potion while in the prison.

The traces of the aphrodisiac she inhaled were extremely faint. If it weren't for the constant fighting between her and Xiao Meier, which accelerated her blood circulation, she wouldn't have suffered such an attack.

Although the drug's effects were activated at this moment, the dosage was weak, so the onset was not particularly fierce or violent.

With the willpower and internal energy cultivation of a seventh-rank martial artist, she was still able to barely maintain a sliver of clarity.

"Damn it, it must have been those two bitches who did this to me."

She was both shocked and furious, believing that Xiao Fenghua and the other person had secretly poisoned her.

This is on the street. If the drug takes full effect in her current state, Jiang Luohan will be completely ruined, which would be worse than death.

"I can't go home... I absolutely can't."

Jiang Luohan made a decision instantly.

With so many people around at home, if she went back looking like this and the servants noticed something amiss, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Go find Zhang Heng?

No, that won't do either.

Having witnessed Zhang Yu's abilities, she has decided to give up on Zhang Heng.

We must find a secluded place immediately and find a way to neutralize the effects of the medicine.

She forced herself to endure the increasingly unbearable heat and emptiness within her body and arrived at a luxurious inn.

She gritted her teeth and, almost dragging her limp body, staggered into the inn's lobby.

"Waiter, I'd like a superior room, the quietest one possible."

Jiang Luohan said urgently.

The waiter behind the counter looked up and saw a slender woman.

He noticed Jiang Luohan's rapid breathing and the unnatural flush on her exposed skin, and immediately gave a lewd smile, thinking he understood perfectly, and lowered his voice to say:

"Oh, young lady, you're here to meet your lover, aren't you?"

Don't worry, our Yuelai Inn is the most reliable, the rooms are well soundproofed, I guarantee it will be safe..."

"Get out of here!"

Jiang Luohan was both ashamed and angry; how could she bear such frivolous teasing?

The already chaotic true energy within his body erupted uncontrollably, and the pressure of a seventh-grade martial artist instantly enveloped the small counter like an invisible storm.

"Thump!"

The waiter was just an ordinary person; how could he withstand the pressure from a martial artist?

He was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

A seventh-rank martial artist, while not considered top-tier in the capital, is certainly a person of considerable standing.

She was definitely not someone a mere waiter could harass.

In her urgent situation, she didn't have time to argue with the waiter. She casually threw a ten-tael silver ingot onto the counter, her voice trembling: "Room...Room number three, key."

She vaguely remembered that the best room at Yuelai Inn was on the third floor.

The waiter was terrified. He scrambled to his feet and pulled out the key to room number three, offering it to the waiter with both hands, not daring to lift his head.

Jiang Luohan grabbed the key without even checking the number; her body was burning with heat, and she even started seeing double.

By the time she managed to climb to the third floor and find the corridor with the "Sky" sign, her consciousness was already somewhat blurred.

So she went to the wrong door.

After entering the room, Jiang Luohan slammed the door shut behind her, slid down against the door, and began to breathe heavily.

"It's hot...so hot..."

Unconsciously, she tore at her clothes, leaving her elegant dress in a disheveled state.

"Who?"

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a kind of authority and coldness that came from someone who had long held a high position, making it exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

Normally, Jiang Luohan might have been awakened by this sound.

But at this moment, her mind, consumed by lust, was filled only with the most primal instincts.

The deep, magnetic male voice, far from being frightening to her, was more like a deadly temptation, sending a shiver down her spine.

"Help...help me...it hurts so much..."

Jiang Luohan spoke incoherently, her voice trembling with tears, and pressed her burning body against him without a second thought.

I don't know how much time passed, it felt like an eternity.

After that extremely intense "exercise," the effects of the medicine in Jiang Luohan's body finally receded like the tide.

"what!"

Jiang Luohan suddenly opened her eyes and instantly became fully awake.

She...she was actually with a strange man...in the inn...

Overwhelmed by shame, regret, and fear, she didn't even dare to turn around and look at the man beside her.

She endured the aches and discomfort in her body, rummaged through the clothes scattered on the floor, and hurriedly managed to get herself dressed.

Before leaving, she left fifty taels of silver for the man who was still unconscious.

Is this... payment for prostitution?

Or is it for the cost of medicine?

She didn't know, she just felt her face burning and her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Having done all this, she dared not linger any longer and left immediately.

Not long after she left, the man slowly woke up.

Because he was seriously injured, he sneaked into the No. 1 room of the Yuelai Inn to practice his internal energy and heal his wounds.

At the critical moment, and during the most dangerous time of his recovery, the true qi circulated through all the major acupoints in his body, allowing no disturbance whatsoever, rendering him practically useless.

Then... Jiang Luohan barged in.

And then... things got out of control.

He was Qiu Ruobai, the young master of the Wujian Sect, who dominated the thirty-six domains of Yuhua Continent. He was a peerless genius who broke through to the Grandmaster level at the age of thirty, yet he was slept with by a woman.

Moreover, the other party left behind fifty taels of silver as payment for the prostitution.

Absurd, laughable, yet carrying an indescribable sense of humiliation and... an even stronger interest.

"Someone come here."

He spoke softly to the air.

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an invisible pressure.

Almost as soon as the words were spoken, three ghostly figures appeared silently in the room and knelt on one knee.

Their auras were restrained, but the subtle fluctuations emanating from their bodies clearly indicated that they were all at the Grandmaster level!

Two were martial arts practitioners with sharp auras, and the other was a magic practitioner with unpredictable spiritual power.

"Where did you go just now? Why did an outsider intrude into my healing place?"

The black-clad martial arts master at the head of the group replied in a low voice:

"We deserve to die. Just now, pursuers were closing in. We were afraid they would disturb the young master's healing, so we had no choice but to lure them away."

After listening, Qiu Ruobai remained silent for a moment.

He naturally knew that there had been an enemy attack, and could even vaguely sense the energy fluctuations on the outside.

However, he was at the most critical and vulnerable moment of his recovery and had no time to spare.

The three men who took the initiative to lure away the enemy were the best choice at the time.

I never expected to "accidentally" wander into this place.

"That's enough."

Qiu Ruobai spoke calmly, "There's a reason for this. With powerful enemies all around, your response wasn't entirely wrong."

"Thank you for your magnanimity, young master!"

The three masters breathed a sigh of relief, but their guilt and lingering fear were even greater.

They knew all too well how noble the young master's status was, and how secretive and crucial it was that he had been hiding his whereabouts to heal from his injuries. If anything went wrong because of their brief absence, they would be held responsible to the death.

Qiu Ruobai stopped looking at them and instead glanced at the messy bed.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly as he noticed the ribbon that Jiang Luohan had hastily left behind.

He bent down and gently picked up the ribbon with two fingers.

Looking at the ribbon, Qiu Ruobai seemed to see again the woman's eyes, filled with pain amidst her confusion and infatuation, as well as the empty bed and the cold silver ingot.

His eyes darkened, and a chilling, possessive glint appeared in them.

His gaze swept over his three subordinates, his tone resolute:

"Send an order to the Wei royal family: find the owner of this ribbon. If they cannot find him within three days, the kingdom will be destroyed."

Upon hearing this, the three grandmasters' expressions changed simultaneously.

Their expressions changed drastically, not because of the words "annihilation of the country."

The State of Wei was nothing but a small country, which could be destroyed with a snap of the fingers of the Wujian Gate.

Their expressions changed drastically because doing so would expose Qiu Ruobai's whereabouts.

The leading black-clad martial arts master couldn't help but urgently advise:

"Young Master, you mustn't!"

The pursuers led by "Shadow Sha" are nearby; do not reveal your identity at this moment.

Even if we need to find someone, the best course of action is to first go back to headquarters and request reinforcements.

"Okay, let's head back to headquarters first."

Qiu Ruobai is not an idiot who can't distinguish right from wrong; he can naturally tell the pros and cons.

"Woman, just you wait."

He silently recited it in his heart, as if the smooth touch of the ribbon and its faint fragrance still lingered on his fingertips.

"No matter where you run to, no matter how long you have to wait..."

"We will definitely meet again."

"At that time, we'll settle accounts slowly about the fifty taels of silver and this ribbon."
