Dashing Student-Chapter 452 - , Falling into a Trap
The woman sized up Chen Nan from head to toe, a playful smirk appearing in her eyes: "You’re like a clay Bodhisattva trying to cross a river, hardly able to save yourself; yet you still care about her?"
Chen Nan burst forth with an icy and powerful aura, his eyes piercing as he looked at her: "Tell me where Chu Qi is!"
"Is she really that important to you?" The woman shook her head, seemingly unmoved, and couldn’t help but sigh: "The saying goes ’Even heroes find it hard to overcome the allure of a beautiful woman,’ and the ancients truly did not deceive!"
"You really shouldn’t have allowed yourself to fall so easily, Chen Nan. Women will only slow your sword-drawing speed and decrease your intelligence."
"Tell me where Chu Qi is!" Chen Nan repeated his previous words, attempting to break the handcuffs and shackles with his True Qi, but with his current level of Cultivation, he was still unable to do so.
"If you really want to see her, then I shall grant your wish." The corner of the woman’s mouth curled into an intriguing smile. Then she looked outside and called out in a soft voice, "Chu Qi, come out!"
As soon as she spoke,
a faint sound of footsteps came from outside.
Chen Nan instinctively turned his head to look, and Chu Qi came into view.
She was wearing a pink long dress, her delicate face resembling that of a porcelain doll, her skin fairer than snow, with a pale pink glow, seemingly so tender that a pinch would squeeze out water.
Her large eyes were clear and bright, like twinkling stars in the night sky, carrying a hint of innocence and confusion while also holding endless stories.
Her petite and upright nose sat in the center of her face, below which were cherry-like lips, slightly pouting, irresistibly inviting a kiss.
Her figure was graceful, and although her steps were slightly hurried, her charming curves could not be concealed.
Beneath her youthful face, her chest was full and round, like ripe peaches, begging to burst out from the confines of her dress, trembling slightly with her movements, exuding a seductive charm.
Her buttocks were as full and perky as a harvest moon, drawing a perfect arc, each swing carrying a unique rhythm, interpreting sensuality to the extreme.
Chu Qi’s eyes darted around, not daring to make eye contact with Chen Nan.
And in the moment he saw her,
Chen Nan’s pupils trembled harshly, surprise flickering in his eyes.
Then,
A bitter smile spread across his face.
He shook his head with a wry smile, his gaze filled with self-mockery and realization: "Hah, so this was a meticulously planned conspiracy from the very start!"
"I never would’ve thought I’d be deceived by such a crude conspiracy."
As a cultivator with a profound understanding of medicine, he needed only a glance to keenly perceive that Chu Qi was not pregnant at all.
The so-called signs of pregnancy were nothing more than a clumsy disguise.
The woman’s face was full of shock and astonishment, her eyes wide open, staring at Chen Nan in disbelief: "You... you actually saw through our plan? How is this possible?"
Chen Nan’s demeanor remained calm, with an undeniable shrug: "If I’m not mistaken, your Suoming Sect must have been secretly monitoring my every move, as well as Xu Lu’s whereabouts."
"You’ve been scheming all along to create this trap; the goal was to have us stumble upon the false appearance of Chu Qi’s pregnancy by sheer coincidence."
"That way, we would fall into your snare without any defense, becoming lambs ready for slaughter on your chopping board."
As these words were spoken, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, rippling layer upon layer.
The woman’s originally somewhat mocking eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation in an instant.
She had never imagined that in such a perilous and desperate situation, Chen Nan could still think so meticulously, dissecting the ins and outs of the matter with precision and coherence.
Chu Qi’s gaze seemed as if it could shoot fire. She glared at Chen Nan fiercely, her teeth clenched tightly as she said to the woman word by word, "Sect Leader, may I personally take this villain’s life?"
The woman nodded slightly, her expression stern and authoritative: "This boy is already marked for death on the Suoming Sect’s blacklist, not to mention his forceful violation of you."
"His life should rightfully belong to you."
"Go, use his blood to wash away the shame you have suffered." As her words fell, she gracefully lifted her hand and took the dagger she carried with her from her waist.
With a gentle flick of the wrist, the dagger traced a cold arc through the air, landing steadily in the hands of Chu Qi.
Chu Qi’s eyes blazed with fury, her slender fingers gripping the dagger’s hilt tight, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
She approached Chen Nan step by step with a resolute air, her eyes as if wanting to tear Chen Nan into a thousand pieces, and through gritted teeth she asked, "Do you have any last words to leave behind?"
She had been the personal maidservant of the Suoming Sect Leader, serving by the Sect Leader’s side year-round, leading a relatively stable life.
Previously, she had never been involved in assassination missions.
And Chen Nan was the first target she encountered in her career as an assassin.
Yet fate played tricks on her, and her first attempt ended in dismal failure.
Now, although there was an opportunity to slay Chen Nan under her blade to vent the raging fury long pent up in her heart, she knew all too well that she was no longer the naive and innocent girl she once was.
Chen Nan’s appearance had completely altered the course of her life, cruelly stealing the most precious thing in her life—her chastity.
This was a pain deeply branded into her soul, an indelible mark of anguish.
Chen Nan’s expression was as calm as still water, his gaze directly meeting the furious Chu Qi close at hand, his voice low yet filled with profound emotion: "Even if all this is a conspiracy, to me, as long as you are safe and well, that is all I wish for!"
Although he had a plethora of close female friends by his side, he felt remorseful toward two women.
One was Wang Shuyao. Blinded by hatred, he had lost his senses in that uncontrollable frenzy and forcefully took possession of her.
Fortunately, as time passed, Wang Shuyao eventually forgave him.
And the other was Chu Qi before him.

To achieve her goal of assassinating him, Chu Qi had secretly poisoned his food.
However, the potent poison of the Love Seed made him lose control of his bestial urges, causing him to overpower Chu Qi in a state of confusion, taking her chastity.
Although afterward, Chen Nan, filled with guilt, chose to let her leave in peace, the incident was like a sharp steel needle deeply embedded in his heart.
Every time he recalled the incident, it caused him a twinge of pain.
It was also for this reason that upon learning of Chu Qi’s plight, he did not hesitate, disregarding his own safety, resolutely rushing to this place.
Even if it meant wearing those cold and heavy handcuffs and shackles.
All to see Chu Qi once more, to protect her completely!
Chen Nan’s words made Chu Qi freeze on the spot; despite her hatred for him, she could feel the depth of Chen Nan’s feelings for her.
For a moment, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked helplessly at the Sect Leader behind her: "I... I can’t bring myself to do it!"
