Chapter 27: No Less Inferior

Chen Che's entire body was burning, his eyes scarlet, and sweat beads the size of beans dripped from his forehead.

He had previously unleashed sixty percent of the power of his Pupil Technique, which drew upon the True Qi suppressing the poison, allowing the poison to seize the opening and break free.

Every time the Great Red Sun Poison flared up, it felt as if he were inside a furnace, with the skin, flesh, tendons, and bones of his entire body being roasted by raging flames.

The Cloud pattern on Chen Che's body turned increasingly red, becoming like a red-hot branding iron.

He immediately formed seals with both hands, and True Qi overflowed from every Acupoint on his body before being drawn back in, circulating repeatedly.

Chen Che's current realm was fully capable of suppressing the poison on his own, but the process was extremely painful and difficult to endure.

Watching Chen Che in such immense pain while being unable to help at all, Cheng Kexin was so anxious she stamped her feet.

She suddenly remembered what her master Taixuan had mentioned in a letter, and her face flushed red, but she did not hesitate in the slightest to take off the only bathrobe she was wearing.

In an instant, the room was filled with a dazzling white light.

"Chen Che, I can help you!"

Cheng Kexin called him by his name, not "Junior Martial Brother"; she had decided to treat Chen Che as a man.

Chen Che, who was concentrating on suppressing the poison, looked up upon hearing the voice.

One look was all it took to nearly make him spit out a mouthful of blood.

Every time the Great Red Sun Poison flared up, besides causing extreme physical pain, it would infinitely amplify a person's desires, especially their most primal instincts.

The craving for these primal instincts would reach its peak once the poison was successfully suppressed.

Chen Che held two fingers of his left hand up by his lips, freed his right hand to take out three Ghost Gate Needles, and pierced them into the Qingling, Tianquan, and Quze acupoints on his left arm respectively.

He then bit his finger, pressed it to the center of his forehead, and subsequently gripped his left-hand fingers with his right hand, closing his eyes.

Seeing Chen Che close his eyes, Cheng Kexin felt somewhat shy and embarrassed.

Yet, she clearly felt that with every heavy breath Chen Che took, the temperature in the room grew higher, making her feel feverish and wanting.

Finally, after the tenth breath, Chen Che withdrew his True Qi, and the Cloud on his body slowly vanished.

"Hoo..."

Chen Che exhaled a breath of turbid air; his hair was dampened by sweat, which dripped down along the strands.

Cheng Kexin raised her slender, lotus-root-like arms to wipe his sweat, but her body trembled the moment she touched his skin.

The poison was suppressed, but his body remained shockingly hot.

"This is a side effect after the poison is suppressed; although it is painful, I can use the Ghost Gate Needles to continue dispersing it."

Chen Che suddenly grabbed her fair, jade-like hand and stared at her with eyes blazing with fire.

"I don't want you to suffer so much, and this is also Master's dying wish..."

Cheng Kexin's face turned red to her neck; although she had prepared herself, she still felt nervous and afraid to be completely honest and open with a man for the first time.

Chen Che took her hand and kissed it lightly on his lips; Cheng Kexin's body shuddered, and she was instantly overcome with an unbearable, feverish heat.

"Senior Martial Sister, may I..." Chen Che's voice was low, clearly suppressing himself, and he was enduring it with great difficulty.

"Don't call me Senior Martial Sister; call me by my name."

Cheng Kexin gripped Chen Che's hand back, slowly retreated, lay down on the massage bed, and pulled Chen Che on top of her.

Chen Che propped his hands up by Cheng Kexin's ears and looked her over carefully from head to toe.

She was truly too beautiful!

Chen Che was convinced that even without the Great Red Sun Poison, he would still be driven mad by her.

"Come, I am willing."

Cheng Kexin wrapped her arms around Chen Che's neck and smiled gently, giving him the courage to move forward.

"Senior Martial Sister, thank you!" Chen Che said sincerely, and was about to take action.

Cheng Kexin bit her lower lip, her autumn-water-bright eyes brimming with tears.

"Be gentle, it's my first time."

"Cheng Ke... xin!"

Chen Che softly called her name, leaned down, covered her lips with his, and took action!

Mmph!

This battle was extremely intense and lasted for a long time.

One hour later...

Chen Che lay on his back on the massage bed, staring at the ceiling; the pleasure he had just experienced left him lingering and wanting more.

Cheng Kexin lay on top of him, curling her body up in exhaustion.

"Senior Martial Sister..."

"You're still calling me Senior Martial Sister!"

Cheng Kexin interrupted in a displeased tone.

Chen Che laughed: "Kexin."

"Mm."

Cheng Kexin leaned against him, feeling very satisfied.

After the entanglement just now, Chen Che discovered an abnormality in Cheng Kexin's body and asked the question in his heart: "You have True Qi in your body, and a significant amount at that, but you haven't guided them to break through the boundary between an ordinary person and a Martial Artist. Why?"

"Because my family doesn't like me becoming a Martial Artist..." Cheng Kexin said softly, still feeling a bit tired.

Chen Che asked in confusion: "The social status of a Martial Artist is very high, and the Cheng Family is a major family in Shanghai; how could your family not like you becoming a Martial Artist?"

This time, Cheng Kexin did not answer; she rested her head on Chen Che's right chest and closed her eyes to rest.

Seeing this, Chen Che did not continue to ask. Suddenly remembering something, he changed the subject and said: "Senior Martial Sister, I heard from Cheng Kexiang that you have a marriage contract with the Zhang Family..."

"Shut up!"

Cheng Kexin suddenly shouted.

Chen Che was startled and immediately shut his mouth.

After a moment of silence, Cheng Kexin suddenly sat up.

Chen Che saw tears of bitterness glistening at the corners of her eyes: "Senior Sister, the toxins have been completely suppressed; I am fine now."

"You are not fine, come again!"

Cheng Kexin changed from her previous gentle attitude and became extremely overbearing and bossy.

"Are you not capable anymore?!"

Her expression was provocative.

As a man, how could he endure such humiliation!?

Chen Che immediately proved himself and began a new round of battle.

Another hour passed, and this battle also came to an end.

Cheng Kexin lay in Chen Che's arms, panting for breath.

Chen Che seemed to still have energy to spare, with not a trace of fatigue on his face.

Cheng Kexin did not mind his mischievous hands, her tone carrying a hint of pleading: "In the future, you are not allowed to mention the matter between me and the Zhang Family, okay?"

"Okay."

This time, Chen Che did not ask why.

With her face buried in Chen Che's chest, Cheng Kexin suddenly began to sob softly.

Chen Che's hands stopped their mischief, and he held her tightly.

"Help me break through; I want to become a Martial Artist."

After a while, Cheng Kexin stopped crying and said.

"Mm."

Chen Che responded and then sat up.

Amidst Cheng Kexin's suspicious expression, Chen Che had her sit cross-legged.

"How about... I put on some clothes first?" Cheng Kexin asked in a low voice, her face flushed.

Chen Che said with a serious face: "The effect of the needles is not good through clothes; Senior Sister, just endure it, it will be quick."

Cheng Kexin bit her lip: "Okay, I will listen to you."

Chen Che smiled and patted her porcelain-white shoulder, saying: "Senior Sister, no need to be nervous. Circulate your True Qi now, and I will begin."

Chen Che took out the Ghost Gate Needle and inserted them one by one into Cheng Kexin's smooth back.

Half an hour later.

"I can't take it anymore, I can't! It's too painful!"

White smoke rose from Cheng Kexin's entire body; her expression was pained, and a thin layer of sweat covered her forehead.

This was the sign of the True Qi surging through the acupoints inside her body!

"Senior Sister, hold on; that is the True Qi surging through the acupoints inside your body. Once all the acupoints are opened, you will become a Martial Artist!"

Chen Che grabbed Cheng Kexin's shoulders and channeled True Qi into her body to help alleviate her pain.

"Help me quickly!"

Cheng Kexin endured the pain and shouted.

"Coming!"

Chen Che accelerated the circulation of his True Qi, surging through Cheng Kexin's body.

Ah!

Cheng Kexin let out a melodious moan as the True Qi successfully surged through all the acupoints.

The long-accumulated True Qi filled her body all at once, and Cheng Kexin's body underwent a complete transformation from the inside out.

"Seventh Grade Martial Artist!"

Chen Che could not help but exclaim; he had not expected that his Sixth Senior Sister's talent was actually no less than his own!
