"Hahaha, cry all you want, I see who you can call for help!"
The middle-aged man with a pale face laughed triumphantly, a look of smug satisfaction on his face as he watched Lin Wan'er and said, "Tonight, even if you scream your throat sore, no one will come to your rescue!"
With those words, he casually formed a hand seal and immobilized Lin Wan'er where she stood.
He then slapped his storage pouch at his waist and took out a small jade bottle. From it, he poured out a reddish-brown elixir emitting a strange fragrance and forcibly fed it to Lin Wan'er, making her swallow it.
After completing this, he looked at Lin Wan'er, who was unable to speak, and said with a sinister smile, "Do you really want to know what elixir I just made you take?"
Upon hearing his words, Lin Wan'er's eyes immediately revealed a look of panic.
With her intelligence, she could easily infer certain things from the pale-faced middle-aged man's prior words.
Indeed, the middle-aged man with a pale face quickly said with a lecherous laugh, "Actually, it's nothing much, just a 'Fierce Lady Pill.' Once a female cultivator takes this pill, no matter how chaste and virtuous she is, within a quarter of an hour, she'll become a lascivious woman, eagerly pleading and softening her tone for a man's favor!"
"I have indeed been curious as to how long you, Lin Wan'er, will be able to resist the effect of this 'Fierce Lady Pill'!"
Having said that, he suddenly allowed Lin Wan'er to speak, pulled up a chair, and sat down in front of her, permitting her to speak clearly.
However, once she was able to speak, Lin Wan'er did not curse or yell, but instead looked at him with eyes full of rage and coldly said, "Tian Fengyi, do you realize the consequences of what you're doing?"
Upon hearing her, the middle-aged man with a pale face simply smiled faintly and said, "Of course, I do. So you just relax. After I've taken your Yin essence here, I will kill you and then depart directly from this place, leaving the likes of Fu Changqing to suffer the headache!"
His answer also made Lin Wan'er startled, causing her to look at him with surprise and doubt as she said, "So you betray our godmother, only for these reasons?"
"Initially, it was not just for this, but those idiots, like Fu Changqing, wouldn't listen to me and refused to send you to Senior Huoyang in exchange for Senior Huoyang to take over this place. So now, I could only grab what I can and go!"
As the middle-aged man with a pale face said this, the smile on his face also quickly faded, clearly dissatisfied with this outcome.
At this moment, Lin Wan'er truly panicked, not only because of the middle-aged man's words but also because she started to feel the effects of the 'Fierce Lady Pill.'
She blurted out in haste, "Tian Fengyi, can we make a deal? If you let me go this time, I'll tell you about a treasure hidden by our godmother outside. What do you think?"
"A treasure? What treasure? You're not trying to deceive me, are you?"
The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed, seemingly not believing her.
However, Lin Wan'er practically shouted in her urgency, "At this juncture, how could I dare to trick you? There really is a treasure, one that could give you a chance at reaching the Purple Mansion!"
Seeing her , the middle-aged man couldn't help but display a look of surprise, seemingly spotting a bit of truth in Lin Wan'er's demeanor and words.
He immediately stood up and said, "Is that so? Then first tell me exactly what kind of treasure it is and what treasures are inside?"
Seeing that he believed her and was moved, Lin Wan'er felt a surge of relief and immediately took the opportunity to say, "First, help me neutralize the effect of the 'Fierce Lady Pill'!"
However, upon hearing this, the middle-aged man with a pale face shook his head and said, "That's really unfortunate, but there's no antidote for the 'Fierce Lady Pill.' It's just an aphrodisiac used during dual cultivation sessions, that's all!"
Having said that, he then looked at Lin Wan'er, full of disappointment and despair, and smiled lightly as he said, "However, if you truly know of some treasure, once Tian has enjoyed himself, he might consider sparing your life!"
Lin Wan'er snarled with clenched teeth and angrily said, "If you dare to ruin my cultivation, you'll never get your hands on that treasure in this lifetime!"
"I don't care, I never really hoped to get any treasure anyway. Besides, I want to see if you'll still talk as tough in a little while!"
With those words, the middle-aged man with a pale face sat down with a beaming smile and slowly waited for the 'Fierce Lady Pill' to unleash its effects inside Lin Wan'er.
