Chapter 75: A Kiss

Shi Yan stared intently at the graceful and mysterious woman who was walking towards the shore, her feet touching the lake surface. Suddenly, a thread of fresh blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and her alluring figure trembled. Her clear and serene eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness.

Under Shi Yan's gaze, the woman's face gradually turned pale, and her eyes became dazed. Just as she was about to reach the shore, her body trembled again, and she suddenly fainted.

She must have been severely injured by Beiming Shang!

Shi Yan's heart stirred, immediately realizing that the woman was seriously wounded. A flash of insight crossed his mind, and without further hesitation, he rushed forward, leaped into the lake, and scooped up the mysterious woman who was about to sink.

The plumpness of her body gave him a bone-melting, soul-stirring sensation. His heart raced, and he quickly carried her to the shore.

Shi Yan extended a finger to the woman's nose, sensing that her breathing was steady, indicating no serious harm. Moreover, a strange force was slowly growing within her body, seemingly nourishing her.

A surge of bloodlust and madness suddenly welled up from the depths of his heart. Shi Yan's expression changed, realizing that the negative energy within his acupoints was about to erupt.

Today, he had absorbed too much negative energy, which was now at a critical stage of purification. The negative emotions would continue to spread from his acupoints.

Holding the mysterious woman, Shi Yan's expression was uncertain.

After a moment, Shi Yan finally made a decision.

He tore a strip of cloth from his sleeve and used it to cover the woman's stunning face. Then, he carried her and rushed towards the nearest brothel.

The mysterious woman possessed a terrifying cultivation at the Celestial Rank. She had been severely injured by Beiming Shang, and once she awoke, she would be the most formidable enemy of the Beiming Family!

In the Merchant Alliance, the Beiming Family's power was overwhelming, and no other family could suppress them for the time being.

This woman's origin was mysterious, and her cultivation was extremely high. As long as she lived, Beiming Shang would be restless.

Shi Yan wanted her to live well!

Tonight, the Skyfall City would surely be in chaos, and Beiming Shang would send experts to search for the mysterious woman. Shi Yan needed to ensure she remained unharmed before she awoke.

The negative aura within his body grew heavier, and the alluring woman in his arms made it increasingly difficult for him to control his desires.

However, he knew he absolutely could not touch her, or else the Shi Family might face a catastrophic disaster once she awoke!

...

After a quarter of an hour.

Shi Yan, carrying the mysterious woman whose face was covered by a strip of cloth, burst into the Rainy Mist Tower in the southern district of Skyfall City. As soon as he entered, he shouted, "Madam, quickly find me two beautiful girls! Hurry up!"

"Clatter, clatter, clatter!"

Shi Yan took out several purple crystals from his waist pouch and scattered them on the counter of the Rainy Mist Tower's first floor.

"Coming!"

A woman in her thirties, heavily made up, with a professional smile, poked her head out from upstairs.

Just a glance at the purple crystals on the counter made her smile even wider. She called out loudly, "Sir, please go to the third floor. I'll arrange it for you right away."

"Alright."

Shi Yan nodded, carried the mysterious woman, and followed the madam directly to the third floor.

"Yunyan, Rou'er, get out here quickly! Both of you come to room number three and serve this gentleman well!" The madam giggled and led Shi Yan into a room, then shouted loudly.

"Madam, we'll be there right away!"

From a room on the upper floor, two soft, sweet voices responded.

Soon, two beautiful girls, their eyes filled with desire, gracefully entered Shi Yan's room number three.

"Sir, you brought your own lady? What's the matter? Do you think our girls can't satisfy you?" The madam stood in the room, her sharp eyes scanning the mysterious woman, and she giggled, "You're quite unique, bringing your own lady to a brothel."

"Cough, I'm quite strong in that area, and I have special tastes. Bringing my own lady makes it more fun!" Shi Yan glanced at the madam coldly.

The madam kept smiling, her eyes scanning the mysterious woman, and she understood clearly.

She naturally assumed that the mysterious woman had been abducted by Shi Yan, and he planned to deflower her in the brothel. Afraid that the woman might not be able to handle it the first time, he had found two brothel girls as substitutes to ensure he could fully enjoy himself.

The madam had seen such things before and was not surprised. She nodded and said, "Yunyan, Rou'er, serve this gentleman well. Use your best skills to make sure he leaves satisfied."

"Madam, don't worry. We know how to serve people." The girl named Yunyan smiled at Shi Yan, licked her lips, and said, "Sir, I'll make sure you're satisfied."

"Get out!" Shi Yan's impulse was becoming increasingly hard to control. He took a deep breath and growled at the madam.

"Alright, sir, enjoy yourself. If you need more, just call." The madam swayed her body, smiled, and retreated outside, closing the door for Shi Yan.

Shi Yan then placed the mysterious woman on the soft carpet.

Reaching out, Shi Yan felt the strange force in her body gradually enveloping her entire being, accelerating the flow of her vital essence.

Frowning, Shi Yan immediately realized that the woman must have taken some precious medicine. The medicine was rapidly healing her injuries even while she was unconscious, allowing her vital essence to circulate on its own, ensuring she would wake up as quickly as possible.

"You two, come with me."

A strange negative aura began to seep from his acupoints. Shi Yan could no longer hold back and reached out to embrace the two girls from the Rainy Mist Tower, pushing them onto the large bed with red cotton sheets.

...

After a long time.

Shi Yan slowly awoke, his eyes clear, and he could distinctly feel the strange force flowing from his acupoints.

Some of this strange force spread throughout his flesh, muscles, tendons, and bones, while some flowed into the vital essence gathering point in his lower abdomen.

The strange force flowing into his vital essence made it extremely robust.

Under Shi Yan's mental control, the vital essence surged like a tide within his body!

Focusing his mind, Shi Yan entered a state of clarity, free from any distractions, allowing the vital essence to flow freely within his body.

...

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Yan's body suddenly trembled, and he woke up abruptly.

His senses seemed to have changed.

With his eyes closed, Shi Yan could clearly feel the elemental energy in the world, which was everywhere, mixed in the air, and usually undetectable.

But at this moment, he could perceive every detail!

The vital essence within his body also became incredibly agile. With a thought, a thread of vital essence flew out from his left middle finger.

Under his mental control, the vital essence danced unpredictably, as if it had a strange life of its own, transforming into a blade of grass, then a spiritual snake, and finally condensing into a flying insect...

Perceiving the elemental energy and condensing it into various forms—this was the realm of the Human Rank!

A strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Shi Yan's lips, and he felt elated as he slowly got out of bed.

After getting out of bed, Shi Yan turned his head and saw the bed in disarray, with two snow-white bodies lying there, their faces still flushed with satisfaction, deeply asleep.

These two women were not martial artists, and their bodies seemed unable to withstand his strange force. When Shi Yan released his essence this time, it did not carry any of that strange force, which he absorbed entirely.

Pausing for a moment, Shi Yan turned back without any lingering thoughts and slowly walked to the side of the mysterious woman.

The moonlight outside the window was white, and it was already late at night.

Shi Yan reached out and examined the mysterious woman's back, immediately discovering that the force within her body was recovering at an unimaginable speed!

At this rate, she should be able to wake up by dawn.

Tonight, Beiming Shang would surely search for her, but he would never think she was hiding in a brothel.

After tonight, the mysterious woman's injuries would recover to at least seventy to eighty percent. By then, she could go anywhere in Skyfall City.

I wonder how Han Feng is doing?

Shi Yan suddenly thought of Han Feng. If Han Feng managed to break through the Blood Hand's blockade in the Poison Dragon Valley, he would surely search for him. If he couldn't find him, he would assume that Li Han and Mo Qi had killed him together.

After all, Han Feng didn't know his true strength, and Li Han was a martial artist at the Human Rank!

Now, Shi Jian regarded him as the Shi Family's most precious treasure. If he thought Shi Yan had met with an accident, he might do something irrational.

After a moment of contemplation, Shi Yan decided to leave immediately and return to the Shi Family as quickly as possible.

The large hand that had been on the mysterious woman's back slowly moved and finally landed on the strip of cloth covering her stunning face.

Lifting the corner of the cloth, Shi Yan looked at the woman's now rosy lips and smiled. He leaned forward and kissed her lips without hesitation.

A refreshing and intoxicating fragrance overflowed from the woman's lips...

Shi Yan tasted it and felt refreshed and invigorated, savoring the unprecedentedly wonderful sensation, almost losing control of his impulses again.

Reluctantly pulling away his lips, Shi Yan looked deeply at her and murmured, "I saved your life. This kiss is my reward."

With that, Shi Yan pushed open the half-closed window and leaped out.

His figure flickered in the night, gradually disappearing into the moonlight.
