Chapter 534: Preserve Innocence

「Burp～」

「Tonight seems I drank too much.」

At night, lying on his bed in Dorm 404, where his roommates had all gone out to have fun,

Zhang Chulan’s consciousness was hazy.

The four of them had gone out for a meal, and of course, beer—the classic tool for bonding over dinner—was unavoidable.

But why, besides him passed out cold, were the other three perfectly alert?

Xu San, with his high-risk physique and obvious experience with alcohol, was clearly a bottomless pit;

and Zhang Jie, whose cultivation was immeasurable and whose alcohol tolerance must’ve been enhanced too, was understandable;

but how could Feng Baobao, a little girl, also have such an enormous tolerance?

Could this really be the legend: wine is the essence of heroes, the more you drink, the braver you become; wine is the essence of grain, the more you drink, the younger you feel?

「Puke～」

Suddenly, Zhang Chulan felt his stomach churn violently.

「No good, no good—I must circulate Qi to neutralize the alcohol.」

Half-dazed, Zhang Chulan mustered enough strength to sit up, cross-legged, assuming the Five Points Toward Heaven posture, silently guiding his true Qi.

As his true Qi slowly flowed through the meridians of his five zang and six fu organs,

Zhang Chulan felt his stomach ease slightly.

「Never again will I drink so much!」

Rubbing his stomach, Zhang Chulan made a vow.

"But now, I'm the only one left in the dorm—could I… hehe…"

Glancing around the empty dorm, Zhang Chulan, drunk and dazed, wore a sly smile.

「By the way, WeChat seems to have launched a new feature.」

Thinking of it, he acted—he pulled out his phone, opened WeChat,

then effortlessly navigated to a certain “Shake It” mini-program.

Emboldened by alcohol, he tapped open a mini-program he’d never dared to open before.

People Nearby…

「Hello.」

「Hello.」

「Meet…」

「Location…」

「Hehe…」

With events unfolding smoothly, Zhang Chulan’s smile grew even more sly.

「Bro, today Big Brother’s gonna show you the real world!」

Still half-drunk, Zhang Chulan burst with energy, dug out his best clothes, put them on,

and in a flash, he was out of Nankai University.

「Oh? A pink-haired cutie? Old Zhang’s got some serious luck!」

The moment he spotted her by the roadside, Zhang Chulan beamed.

「Hello…」

Zhang Chulan swore he’d deployed every love tactic he’d ever gleaned from countless books.

「Hello.」

The girl merely covered her mouth and giggled.

「Good heavens—is this what love feels like?」

In that instant, Zhang Chulan felt pierced straight through the heart by an arrow shot by Cupid,

the legendary god of love from Western myth—helpless, entranced.

With mutual affection, the two quickly grew intimate.

Zhang Chulan gritted his teeth, braving a massive drain on his wallet, and booked a nice room.

In the hotel, their figures drew ever closer…

「Wait—I seem to have forgotten something…」

Drunk and flushed with bloodlust, Zhang Chulan had a nagging feeling he’d overlooked something.

「But screw it—what’s right in front of me matters more.」

Already fired up, Zhang Chulan hesitated only a moment before tossing the doubt into the farthest clouds.

All he wanted now was to lose his virginity and savor the legendary bliss of earthly pleasure.

「Hss!」

Suddenly, an indescribable, bone-deep pain erupted from an unspeakable place,

jolting Zhang Chulan—whose mind had been clouded by lust and bloodlust, no, downward rush—back to clarity.

「Shou Gong Sha—I forgot the Shou Gong Sha!」

Zhang Chulan instantly remembered what he’d overlooked.

Under the alcohol’s haze, he’d forgotten the Shou Gong Sha seal his grandfather Zhang Xilin had placed on him!

He practiced a family technique requiring him to remain a virgin,

so his grandfather had sealed him with the Shou Gong Sha to guard his heart, suppress desire,

restrain his inner demon, and ensure he wouldn’t fall into demonic deviation from lust before his mind matured.

The Shou Gong Sha not only prevented the loss of his primordial Yang, but also served as a protective ward!

Once he came of age, he could interact with girls—if the girl truly accepted him, all would be fine;

but if she had ulterior motives, the Shou Gong Sha would trigger excruciating pain,

forcibly dragging him back from illusion to reality, saving him from traps that could cost him his life.

「Shou Gong Sha… excruciating pain…」

「Damn it—this woman has ill intent!」

Zhang Chulan immediately tried to rise from the bed and flee.

But at that moment, he felt his body go limp,

his once obedient true Qi now frozen, utterly unresponsive to his command.

「I’ve placed a sealing worm inside you,

and unless your cultivation reaches the level of a major sect’s leader, you can’t break free.」

The woman before Zhang Chulan covered her mouth and giggled sweetly.

「Damn it!」

Zhang Chulan barely managed to curse before his vision went black and he collapsed into unconsciousness.

………

「Where am I?」

Sometime later, Zhang Chulan slowly awoke from his coma.

He glanced around and his pupils contracted: towering trees, dense shrubs—he was clearly in a remote, uninhabited mountain forest.

And he himself had been stuffed into a burlap sack, his head the only part exposed,

his true Qi as immobilized as before, and his entire body tightly bound with multiple ropes.

「Oh? Little Brother Zhang is awake.」

At that moment, a sultry voice—so seductive it made men burn with desire—sounded beside his ear.

He turned toward the sound and saw a voluptuous, exquisitely shaped pink-haired woman, her face alluring,

every detail of her body radiating irresistible desire, strolling calmly from behind a large tree.

The pink-haired seductive woman, every detail of her body radiating allure, strolled calmly from behind a large tree.

Even knowing this woman meant him harm, Zhang Chulan’s eyes flickered with fascination.

Such a woman—no man could possibly resist her!

This was surely what “beauty that brings ruin” meant!

「Sis Xia He, stop teasing this kid—there’s business to attend to.」

A short, childlike boy with a bowl cut and thick black-rimmed glasses stepped between Zhang Chulan and the pink-haired woman,

blocking her from Zhang Chulan’s view.

「I wasn’t teasing him.」

Xia He smiled seductively.

「Yes, yes, Sis Xia He—you’re just naturally gorgeous.」

The boy dared not look at Xia He again and quickly averted his gaze.

"Yes, yes, Xia He, you’re naturally beautiful and can’t hide it."

Xia He leaned casually against a large tree.

The pose accentuated her already explosive figure, drawing the eye irresistibly.

Xia He leaned casually against a large tree.

This pose made her already fiery figure even more sculpted, drawing the eye.

Who are you? Why are you capturing me?

I’ll tell you, this is a society governed by law!

Arbitrary imprisonment is illegal and will be punished by state law!

Zhang Chulan, having regained his composure, shouted sharply, trying to intimidate the rogue men before him with the authority of state law.
