Chapter 180: Tsk Tsk, the Potency of This Hehuan Powder Is Indeed Powerful

"I told you long ago, you just didn't believe me."

Hearing this, Su Chen curled his lips and spoke.

"When did you tell me?" Ji Yueyao knitted her delicate brows and asked in confusion.

Su Chen rolled his eyes at Ji Yueyao in annoyance, spread his hands, and explained: "When the Great Elder wanted to make a move against me, didn't I say that Chu Xiu was his illegitimate son?"

After hearing Su Chen's explanation, Ji Yueyao fell into silence.

Su Chen had indeed said it, but she had thought at the time that Su Chen was just trying to anger the Great Elder; she just hadn't expected that it was all true.

"Chu Xiong, Chu Xiu—you should have guessed that Chu Xiu was the Great Elder's illegitimate son just by putting those two names together."

Su Chen continued: "You big-breasted, brainless woman, there was a rebellion right under your own sect, yet you, the Sect Master, were completely unaware of it and instead suspected me. I really have to hand it to you."

"I... I..."

Hearing this, Ji Yueyao's cheeks turned even redder, and she lowered her head.

This time, it was indeed her oversight.

However, Ji Yueyao was a Sect Master after all; she quickly regained her composure, raised her head, looked at Su Chen, and asked: "Wangshu, since you reminded me of this matter, why didn't you just expose Chu Xiu and the Great Elder's rebellion directly before?"

"Why would I expose them? I'm not stupid!"

Su Chen curled his lips and said: "Although Chu Xiong is no longer the Sect Master, he is still the Great Elder; he likely already won over many of the sect's inner elders and core disciples. Besides, there's no benefit in it for me, so I couldn't be bothered to meddle in other people's business."

Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his voice and chuckled wickedly: "And I felt that with the personalities of Chu Xiu and the Great Elder, even if I had said something, they likely wouldn't have admitted it and would have instead framed me."

Hearing this, Ji Yueyao was slightly stunned, then said with deep meaning: "Wangshu, so it was for this reason that you hid the truth and refused to assist this Sect Master? Are you not afraid that once I succeed, I will settle the score with you?"

"Heh, Sect Master, you're overthinking it. Since they dared to drug you, they must have long been prepared for rebellion; you can't win."

Su Chen reached out his right hand to pinch Ji Yueyao's chin and said with a burning gaze: "Only after you become my woman will I help you; only then can you be at ease as the Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect."

According to the news Zhao Hanshan had sent back earlier, if it hadn't been for Ji Yueyao constantly suppressing them, the Great Elder and Chu Xiu would have long ago successfully incited the Heavenly Dao Sect to send troops to attack the Su Family, so they could reap the rewards of the conflict.

On this point, Su Chen had quite a bit of good will toward Ji Yueyao.

This was also why he had adopted this gentle method to subdue the Heavenly Dao Sect, rather than directly sending a large army to slaughter them.

"You... you wouldn't dare..."

After hearing Su Chen's words, Ji Yueyao's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and she hurriedly dodged away.

At the same time, a strong sense of humiliation rose in her heart.

She could not understand how her luck could be so poor; having just escaped the tiger's den of the Great Elder and Chu Xiu, she had unexpectedly entered the wolf's den of Su Chen.

Was she destined to be unable to escape this calamity today?

Now that she was under the effects of the Hehuan Powder, her cultivation would not recover for twelve hours, leaving her no different from an ordinary woman.

It was all the fault of that despicable and shameless father-son pair, the Great Elder and Chu Xiu; she had been in the sect for so many days and had never discovered these two ingrates.

Why was the potency of this drug so strong? Would she have to ask Wangshu to help her detoxify later?

No, no, she absolutely would not!

Thinking of this, Ji Yueyao gripped her dress tightly, stared fixedly at Su Chen, and gritted her teeth: "Wangshu, I am warning you for the last time: do not come within half a step of this Sect Master!"

"Sect Master, those are your words, oh. When the drug takes effect later, don't come begging me."

Seeing Ji Yueyao so resistant, Su Chen shrugged his shoulders and stepped to the side.

He had already made up his mind to seize her Yin Essence once Ji Yueyao was completely compromised.

He did not want to miss such an opportunity.

After all, this was the Yin Essence of a Quasi-Emperor Peak, which would be very helpful for increasing his cultivation.

Besides, once he obtained Ji Yueyao's body, she would be his woman; it would make no difference whether the Heavenly Dao Sect was in his hands or Ji Yueyao's.

"Hmph, I hope you keep your word and do not commit any acts of treachery in the dark."

Ji Yueyao let out a cold snort and closed her eyes to rest.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a faint pink color gradually appeared on Ji Yueyao's skin, her breathing became a bit more rapid, and a flush appeared on her beautiful face, making her look extremely alluring.

"Unh..."

The next second, Ji Yueyao could not help but let out a soft moan, and her body began to writhe involuntarily.

She felt a dry heat throughout her body, as if a ball of fire were burning, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Tsk tsk... the potency of this Hehuan Powder is indeed powerful."

Seeing Ji Yueyao's current state, Su Chen licked his somewhat dry lips, feeling exceptionally excited inside.

He had long anticipated that Ji Yueyao would end up in this situation, so he had placed an Image Jade on the table to prevent Ji Yueyao from refusing to acknowledge the matter later.

He then sat by the stone bed, looking at Ji Yueyao with a playful gaze and saying: "Sect Master, it seems the effects of the Hehuan Powder have begun to take hold. Do you need me to help you undress?"

"Get out..."

Ji Yueyao was currently in the stage where the drug's power was erupting; there was still a sliver of reason in her eyes. She bit her red lips, glared fiercely at Su Chen, and shouted angrily.

Yet the very next instant, her delicate body began to tremble, she was drenched in fragrant sweat, and she gasped for air, as if endless demons were crawling out from all directions.

This scene caused her reason to vanish completely; she lunged at Su Chen, frantically tearing at his clothes like a beast that had been starving for three days and three nights.

"Sigh, Sect Master, what are you doing?"

Su Chen feigned a look of astonishment and refused.

However, Ji Yueyao could not hear a word of nonsense at this moment; while hugging Su Chen, she breathed orchid-like fragrance against his neck and earlobes: "Wangshu, this Sect Master orders you: detoxify me, now, immediately!"

"Sect Master, you really have misunderstood. I truly don't know anything about detoxification, and besides, men and women should not touch..." Su Chen said, feigning a bitter expression.

"Shut up!"

Ji Yueyao roared and directly blocked Su Chen's mouth.

"Hurry and detoxify me!" Ji Yueyao bit her silver teeth and said coldly, her tone filled with determination.

It had to be said that Ji Yueyao was indeed very beautiful, especially now with her charming eyes like water, looking alluring and moving, enough to make one drool.

"Then I shall detoxify you, Sect Master!"

Seeing this, Su Chen stopped pretending, completely shed his disguise, and after holding Ji Yueyao in his arms, gently placed her on the stone bed.

"Sect Master, what are you..."

What made Su Chen look somewhat unsightly was that at this moment, his key was held in Ji Yueyao's hand, and she was continuously inserting it into the keyhole.
