Chapter 166: Antidote
There was a lot of water in the bathtub nearby. The faucet was still on, continuously spraying water. It seemed Yao Xianxian tried to flush the drug from her stomach by drinking a lot of water as soon as she realized something was wrong with her body.
But the drug was too strong. She gradually lost control of herself and finally chose to take out her phone and call Lin Mu.
Squatting down, Lin Mu turned off the bathtub faucet. He tidied up Yao Xianxian’s messy clothes a bit, then carried her in his arms and walked out of the restroom.
As he left, he gave the middle-aged man a dark glare. The man was so scared he raised his wine bottle and hid behind the sofa.
Lin Mu sneered disdainfully and ignored the man. After all, from now on the man was completely useless. No matter what skilled doctor he found, even a kidney transplant, he could never recover to his original state.
Several important meridians inside his body were completely destroyed. There was no possibility of repair.
Lin Mu brought Yao Xianxian back to the Hilton Hotel. Her agent, Sister Hong, was anxiously pacing around the room. Seeing Lin Mu carrying Yao Xianxian, she hurried over.
“Lin Mu, what happened to Xianxian?”
Sister Hong touched Yao Xianxian’s forehead, thinking she was sick.
“It’s nothing, Sister Hong. She just drank a little too much. She’ll be fine after some sleep.”
Lin Mu smiled slightly. He didn’t want to explain too much and cause unnecessary panic.
“You scared me to death! I was wondering why I couldn’t get through on the phone. You guys need to be careful. If you get drunk like this and paparazzi take pictures, it would look very bad in the news.”
Sister Hong patted her chest, finally relieved.
“Don’t worry, Sister Hong. We were very careful. You should go back and rest now. You’ve been busy all day.”
Lin Mu carried Yao Xianxian back to the room, then went to the restroom to get a towel. He wet it and carefully wiped Yao Xianxian’s face.
Seeing Lin Mu take such careful care of Yao Xianxian, Sister Hong finally showed a slight smile. Then she closed the door and went back to rest.
After Sister Hong left, Lin Mu put down the towel. A black mist flashed over his right hand, and the ancient-looking Ring appeared on his index finger. With a faint glimmer of light, a small rolled cloth package appeared in his hand.
Unfolding the cloth package, it was filled with slender Silver Needles. Since Lin Mu learned the Inchlight Sun-Seizing Secret Art, he always carried a set of Silver Needles with him. After all, his current Cultivation level wasn’t high enough to use the technique of turning energy into needles for long periods.
Lin Mu unfastened Yao Xianxian’s clothes. He took them off piece by piece, finally revealing her flawless upper body. Her extremely flat abdomen and towering peaks, with two pink tips, made Lin Mu swallow hard.
But at that moment, a gasp from Yao Xianxian brought Lin Mu back to his senses. He quickly drove away the dirty thoughts in his head and focused on applying the needle technique.
Although he hadn’t fully mastered the Inchlight Sun-Seizing Secret Art, removing the drug from Yao Xianxian was an easy task. Back then, Zhou Shiyun could even cure the deadly poison in him, let alone him whose strength was far greater than Zhou Shiyun’s.
In less than ten minutes, the drug in Yao Xianxian’s body was completely neutralized. As the drug’s effects slowly faded, she gradually regained consciousness.
“Ah!”
Yao Xianxian let out a startled cry. She quickly pulled the nearby blanket over herself. Her face instantly turned bright red. Even the skin down her neck became a delicate, tender pink.
“So now you’re shy! When you were going out to have fun earlier, why weren’t you shy?”
Lin Mu pulled back a corner of the blanket, leaned in, and teased her.
“Stop it! I didn’t go to have fun with that person. After you left, I met an old female classmate. We used to be very close. Later we went to a light music bar and chatted for a while.”
Yao Xianxian spoke as softly as a mosquito. If Lin Mu weren’t close, he wouldn’t hear her.
“How could you be so careless? Just because she was your old classmate? So you let your guard down completely?”
Lin Mu slipped his hand under the blanket, pushed it aside, and grasped one of the towering peaks.
“Eek! Stop it! What are you doing?!”
Yao Xianxian let out a delicate cry and immediately curled up, but she didn’t slap Lin Mu’s hand away.
“Heh heh, I came all the way to save your life! Don’t I deserve a little reward?”
Lin Mu gave a roguish laugh, his finger lightly brushing over the peak’s tip.
“You’re no good either! I just got out of the tiger’s den and fell into the wolf’s lair. How pitiful!”
Yao Xianxian immediately put on a pitiful look.
“Oh, cut it out. I’m a rare gentleman.”
Lin Mu quickly defended his innocence.
“What gentleman goes to a girl’s room in the middle of the night to do bad things?”
Yao Xianxian stuck out her tongue and made a funny face.
“I was here to remove the drug from you! Otherwise, who knows how long you’d be out? What if you missed tomorrow’s shoot?”
Lin Mu’s eyes shifted as he found a righteous excuse.
“Well, I’m awake now. You can go back to your room and sleep.”
Yao Xianxian seized the opportunity, immediately catching the flaw in Lin Mu’s words.
“You’re kicking the bridge after crossing the river! After using me, you just throw me out. Truly, the world is declining, and people’s hearts are not what they used to be. Alas!”
Lin Mu sighed, putting on a deeply hurt expression, but he slipped under the blanket, pressed down on Yao Xianxian, looked down at her stunned face, and kissed her small mouth.
Another round of passionate French kissing almost made Yao Xianxian gasp for air. When it came to the depth of Cultivation Power, she was no match for Lin Mu at all.
“You’re taking advantage of me again! You pervert!”
Yao Xianxian quickly wiped her mouth. She crossed her arms over her chest and covered her face with her hands, not looking at Lin Mu.
“Alright, tell me, what exactly happened tonight?”
Lin Mu lay down beside Yao Xianxian, held her in his arms, and gently stroked her smooth hair.
“At first it was fine. Later, I went with her to that light music bar for a while. She said another classmate was also in Jingdu, so I went with her to see. But when we got to that hotel, that classmate wasn’t there. Then I started to feel something was wrong with my body.”
Yao Xianxian lay on Lin Mu’s chest, pouting as she spoke.
“What about the classmate you went with?”
Lin Mu frowned and immediately asked.
“She also said she felt a bit unwell and went to the restroom in the room. Then my consciousness started to fade. I knew something might be wrong, so I went into the restroom and started drinking water. Later I heard someone banging on the door.”
Yao Xianxian shook her head, her finger tracing circles on Lin Mu’s chest. “I had no strength all over my body. I managed to pull out my phone and call you. You know the rest.”
Hearing this, Lin Mu felt both angry and amused. She had fallen into such a simple trap.
“You! You really have no vigilance at all. You need to remember you’re a big star. If some scandal about you gets out, your career would be over.”
Pinching Yao Xianxian’s cute, pert nose, Lin Mu said helplessly.
“I didn’t know! Who would have thought my old classmate would set me up.”
Yao Xianxian wrinkled her little nose and whined.
“Do you have a photo of that female classmate?”
Lin Mu suddenly asked.
“Well, yes. She was so excited to see me tonight, she insisted on taking a picture together. So I took one too.”
Yao Xianxian rolled over, grabbed her Mobile Phone, found a photo, and showed it to Lin Mu.
“Go take a bath first. You must be tired after tonight. Get to bed early later.”
Lin Mu took the phone and glanced at the photo. After Yao Xianxian went to take a bath, he transferred the photo to his own phone. Then he sent the photo to the Dragon Protection Corps base, asking them to check this woman’s background.
After a while, his phone suddenly rang. It was Jiang Chu calling.
“Brother Lin, why do you suddenly want information on a woman?”
The question came as soon as he answered the phone.
“She almost got me in trouble tonight. I want to know this woman’s details. How did you find out, Brother Jiang?”
Lin Mu asked curiously.
“Haha, Brother Lin, you asked the East Sea Branch to check on a woman in Jingdu. Of course, it got forwarded to our Capital Branch.”
Jiang Chu laughed heartily on the other end of the line.
“So that’s how it is. Sorry to trouble you again, Brother Jiang.”
Lin Mu gave an apologetic smile.
“Hey, it’s a small matter, no problem. Besides, I’m not the one checking anyway. I just saw it and asked. With your strength, I doubt there’s anything you can’t handle. I won’t offer my help unnecessarily!”
Jiang Chu joked.
The two chatted for a while before Lin Mu hung up. He looked at the photo on his phone. Next to Yao Xianxian was a girl who looked very innocent, with light wine-red makeup and dressed quite appropriately. He just didn’t understand why she would harm Yao Xianxian.
A short while later, Yao Xianxian finished her shower. Wrapped in a towel, she scurried to the bed and quickly slid under the covers.
“Why are you getting under the covers with your bathrobe on? Take it off, or how can you sleep?”
Lin Mu said, puzzled.
“I’m waiting for you to leave! Otherwise, how can I sleep?”
Yao Xianxian pulled the blanket tight and retorted.
“Still shy? There’s nowhere I haven’t seen. What’s there to be shy about?”
Lin Mu grinned, his hand slipping under the covers. The two tussled playfully. Yao Xianxian was no match for Lin Mu’s devilish hands, and the bathrobe was eventually removed.
Looking at Yao Xianxian curled up in a ball, Lin Mu burst into laughter. No wonder she didn’t want to take off the bathrobe—she was only wearing panties underneath, not even a bra.
“Wait for me. I’ll go take a shower too, then we can sleep together!”
Lin Mu winked, threw off the covers, and ran to the restroom.
“Stop it! Who wants to sleep with you! Go back to your own room!”
Yao Xianxian was extremely embarrassed, her face red as she hid under the covers, her heart racing.
