Chapter 18
An Hour Later
Bubu Hut
I stood with a complicated expression, leaning against the wall of Bai Zhu's clinic. Thinking about the entire situation that had happened. Of course, I remembered that my elemental explosion had killed most of the treasure thieves on the spot, but at that moment, I was only worried about Ke Qing, and then I safely forgot about that moment. However, when I got to the interrogation of the survivors and saw their condition, as well as how they shit themselves from just the sight of me, the realization finally reached my brain. Not only did I commit murder, but I also did it with particular cruelty.
No, I did not suddenly go into hysterics or have a panic attack from this realization, especially since if I went back in time, I would have done the same thing anyway. However, it was still hard for me to look at some of the consequences of my actions, so after making sure that the treasure thieves were actively giving out all the necessary information to the Millelites under the watchful eye of Ke Qing, as well as monitoring the condition of the sick Bai Zhu, I quietly left the room.
- Are you okay? - Ke Qing's voice pulled me out of my thoughts.
- I just realized that I took someone's life only now. - I smiled wryly, looking at my wife's worried face.
- Don't get me wrong, if I had another choice, I would have done the same. It's just...
- It's okay. - Ke Qing stopped me, putting her finger to my lips. - Our world is cruel and the ability to deliver a decisive blow when necessary is extremely important.
- And also... I'm glad you came then. - Having said this, she reached out to me for a kiss, which I did not refuse. The softness of her lips, along with our connection, seemed to evaporate all my worries, however, the awareness of where we were, as well as the experience of much greater pleasure helped us quickly pull ourselves together and part ways, although I was not ready for my wife's next words.
- You know, I think we need to have a serious talk about your passion for piercing other people's anuses. - the girl said with a serious face, fortunately, I felt that she was only having fun, but I still could not help but react.
- I did not try to pierce them on purpose. And it is their own fault that they attacked my wife.
- However. - I leaned towards her ear and began to whisper, simultaneously squeezing her elastic buttock with one hand. - If my dear wife is worried, then I can promise that I will intentionally pierce only her ass.
- Shut up! - Ke Qing exclaimed embarrassedly, blushing, not hitting my chest with her fist too hard.
- And please take your hand away. - asked the girl, clinging to me.
- Are you sure you want this? - I teased with a wide smile on my face, feeling perfectly well that she liked my touch.
- I don't want to be seen. - Ke Qing whispered.
- Okay. - I said, removing my hand from her butt, while lifting her lowered head by the chin.
Her face, red from embarrassment, was truly a work of art. And, fortunately, she belongs to me, so I can do what I so desire at this moment.
Slightly bending over, I stole her lips.
- Ssssss, I admit, I was wrong-ss. This is not one-sided love. - a hiss was heard nearby, because of which Ke Qing, not ready for a public display of affection, immediately jumped away from me.
- Chang Sheng, you could have shown a little more tact and not embarrassed the young couple. Don't forget, they should still be in the middle of their honeymoon.
- Ahem, ahem, did you want something from us, Doctor Bai? - I asked, clearing my throat.
- Oh, right, my apologies. Did I understand correctly that you were poisoned with the same poison as my forced patients yesterday?
- You mean an aphrodisiac? Yes, that was indeed the case.
- In that case, it would be better if I examined you, after all, a normal aphrodisiac shouldn't be able to affect the control of elemental energy.
- Yes, that would indeed be appropriate. - Ke Qing nodded. - Besides, I would be very grateful if you could make an antidote in case something like this happens again.
When she mentioned the antidote, I couldn't help but feel how anxious she became. I obviously underestimated the impact that attack had on her. Especially when she couldn't fight at full strength because of the poison.
"In that case, please come in." Bai Zhu opened the door for us.
10 minutes later.
"I can't believe it, I really didn't imagine it." Bai Zhu shook his head, slightly stunned.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Your connection." The doctor, who stood up excitedly, immediately responded. "When I first saw you today, I thought I imagined it, but now I'm sure it's as if you've become two halves of a single whole! And even more, your body, Master Yun Che, has noticeably become stronger since our last meeting. If I were to translate your enhancement into numbers, I feel like your body has become several times stronger. Considering your rather lazy life before, such a sharp increase in physical characteristics to the level of an experienced fighter wielding the God's Eye is simply unbelievable.
- And what's even more incredible is that you are Miss Ke Qing. Even Bei Dou with her incredible physical strength cannot compare to you, not to mention your obtaining the second element! Please tell me, how did you achieve this?
Recalling what influenced my body to improve so drastically, to be honest, even I couldn't help but be embarrassed, not to mention Ke Qing, who blushed like a lobster from the memories.
- Ahem, Doctor Bai, I thought you were talking about checking the poison's effect on us, and not all this.
- Hssssss. - Chang Sheng's hissing laughter rang out. - You got too excited and forgot to cover up your interest.
- I didn't notice a hint of poison in your bodies, so you don't have to worry. Still, will you satisfy my curiosity? Of course, not for nothing, and I promise that whenever you need my services, I will arrive as soon as possible, completely free of charge.
- I think I can tell you how our connection was formed.
- Excellent! In that case, shall we conclude another non-proliferation agreement?
- There is no need. After all, the process is inaccessible to most. So listen…
It did not take much time to recount what we did, but it was enough to astound the doctor.
- You have shown simply astonishing carelessness towards your life, Mrs. Ke Qing. - He looked at my wife with disapproval. - If the thought of harming you instead of helping you flashed through his mind even for a moment, I am afraid that everything could have ended extremely badly.
These words were like a bolt from the blue for me, after all, I really did not think about how dangerous what we were doing really was, however, Ke Qing's answer made me truly happy.
- I just trusted my husband.
