Chapter 650 — I Can't Help You
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
As for whether Qiu Lingshan was in any danger, there was nothing Wei Zhao could do about it. She was not Tang Zhi, not his girlfriend, and he had no other way to help her. Besides, Tang Zhi could expel the drug from her body through massage—partly because the dose she had taken was smaller than Qiu Lingshan's, so her reaction had not been as violent, and a bit of rubbing and kneading had settled it quickly. Qiu Lingshan's case, however, was rather more serious; it would not be fixed in a moment or two, and Wei Zhao had no mind to waste time here.
"No! I feel like the qi inside me is about to explode—I can't stand it, help me, please, Wei Zhao..." Qiu Lingshan could already tell something was badly wrong. The internal cultivation method she usually practiced leaned toward the yin and the soft; this aphrodisiac seemed to clash with her art, or rather, it had instantly stirred the true qi in her body into resonance. Qiu Lingshan felt that if she did not release it soon, she might burst apart and die at any moment!
"The qi is about to explode?" Wei Zhao had not expected the aphrodisiac to have such a side effect. He had never taken such a drug, and Tang Zhi was an ordinary person, so naturally she could not have shown Qiu Lingshan's present condition. Could Qiu Lingshan's violent reaction be because she was a cultivator?
"Mm, mm, hurry and help the brain-dead girl... I'm begging you..." Qiu Lingshan was on the verge of tears. Humiliating as it was to beg Wei Zhao like this, it beat dying! In that moment, Qiu Lingshan was thoroughly coming apart.
"Then take care of it yourself with your hand. I'll go keep the door for you." Wei Zhao shrugged helplessly and, catching Qiu Lingshan off guard, peeled her off himself.
Seeing that Wei Zhao would not help, Qiu Lingshan was both ashamed and furious. Was she so unattractive? He did not even have the slightest interest in touching her?
In fact, Qiu Lingshan did him an injustice. It would be a lie to say Wei Zhao felt nothing for her, but feeling something was one thing and acting on it another. Wei Zhao's self-control was strong; if he had wanted a one-night stand, he had had plenty of chances. But he rather disliked fleshly contact without any foundation of feeling, and so he had pushed Qiu Lingshan away.
Of course, if one day this brain-dead girl wanted to be his girlfriend, Wei Zhao would not mind pushing her down.
When Qiu Lingshan saw Wei Zhao actually turn and walk toward the dungeon door, she was so angry she wanted to curse him. She had made herself plain enough—she was one step short of saying outright, "Please come and do me!"—and yet Wei Zhao had ignored her!
Fine. Qiu Lingshan was a little desperate. Better to rely on herself than on heaven or earth—she would just DIY it... She had never done it before, but with a bit of fumbling, and given her intelligence and cleverness, she ought to be able to manage!
And so, in a state of shame and indignation, Qiu Lingshan finally took the brave first step. She very much did not want to do such a thing in front of Wei Zhao, but thinking of her situation—and of where she was, the headquarters of the kidney-harvesting ring—if she kept dithering, someone would barge in soon enough, and then she might as well be dead!
As for Wei Zhao, so what? Her reputation was already ruined in his hands anyway. Word had already spread through the police station that she was Wei Zhao's girlfriend, and that she had already done that sort of thing to him in the hospital. What was left to worry about?
She had already done her share of coquettish pouting and coy little-girl acts in front of him. Might as well smash the cracked pot—once you have enough lice, you stop itching...
Qiu Lingshan began to comfort herself. She knew the reasoning was a bit of a stretch, but another voice in her head instantly gained the upper hand, urging her to hurry on to the next step...
