Even when Zhang Zitong was a silver token envoy, she had already been quite experienced. But right now, she was still incredibly alarmed. She felt as if there were a tide surging within her. It was one thing while she still had a bit of rationality left, but once the drug completely spread, any man would be able to do what they wanted with her. How could she dare to stay by the side of any man?

Even so, she was shocked to discover that the other person's cultivation really was unfathomable. He had actually instantly killed Fang Biao’s whole party! She actually hadn't even been able to damage his clothes from her struggle.

This guy really hid his strength well... And yet, the most frustrating thing is that a dummy like me actually tried to save him before!

Unfortunately, there was no medicine to cure regret in this world.

When he saw that her cheeks were red and her body was burning up like a cooked shrimp, Zu An asked, “Do you not need me to save you now that you’re drugged?”

“I don’t!” Zhang Zitong exclaimed, sounding like a frightened rabbit. She covered her chest with her arms. How else would a man save her in this kind of situation? If that really happened, she’d rather die!

For some reason, another figure appeared in her head, and that person seemed to become one with the man in front of her. She quickly shook her head to dispel this thought.

It’s definitely the drug, definitely!

“But if I don’t save you, you’ll die,” Zu An said gravely.

“If you really want to save me, then just kill me!” Zhang Zitong yelled, biting her lip so hard that blood almost came out. She felt as if she almost couldn't take it anymore, and had to make the decision while she was still clear-headed. Immediately after, she took out a dagger to thrust it into her chest.

However, a steady hand grabbed her wrist and disarmed her. When she felt the heat coming from that hand, Zhang Zitong groaned. She felt a kind of desire and jumped into the man’s arms, although she said, “Don’t... Don’t get too close to me.”

Zu An sighed, saying, “You don’t want me to save you, but I'll still save you.” Immediately after, his palm pressed against her body.

“You’re despicable!” Zhang Zitong cursed. This tiger dressed up as a pig really was too hateful! If not for the fact that she wanted to save him, would she have even gotten into all of this trouble? Now, this guy was taking advantage of this situation, which made him even more hateful than Fang Biao...

You have successfully trolled Zhang Zitong for +444 +444 +444...

Sorry, Sir Eleven!

She felt a deep sense of grief. Two streaks of tears trickled down the corners of her eyes. Then, she fainted.

...

A while later, she slowly opened her eyes. Her first reaction was to instinctively lower her head to check her clothes. She was shocked to discover that she was actually still fully dressed, apart from sweat that made her clothes a bit transparent.

He already did what he wanted, then put my clothes on again...

Suddenly, a cold voice said from behind her, “Don’t move.”

She was alarmed and turned around. Only now did she notice that the man she detested bitterly was sitting right behind her with his palms on her back. Waves of heat were entering her body from the center of her back. Only now did she realize that he hadn’t used the method she imagined to treat her, but rather infused ki to help her force out the drug’s effects.

“Sorry, I misunderstood you,” Zhang Zitong said, blushing with shame.

I even cursed him out like that earlier, how embarrassing...

Zu An said indifferently, “Right now, not moving randomly is the best form of gratitude.”

Zhang Zitong grunted in understanding. She lowered her head and didn’t say anything else. She could feel the man's ki stir within her meridians, making her entire body feel numb. It was as if electricity were running through her body. She almost couldn't hold herself back and cried out several times, but she could only bite her lip and endure with difficulty. In order to hide her embarrassment, she could only ask with a trembling voice, “Why... Why did you save me?”

“No reason, I just felt like it,” Zu An said. His recent research on aphrodisiacs hadn't been without results. He now understood their properties well enough to figure out some detoxifying methods.

As for Zhang Zitong, apart from his relationship with her in the Embroidered Envoy, he saw a resemblance to two celebrities from the world he transmigrated from in her. That mysterious feeling of intimacy made him want to take care of her a bit. Furthermore, she had ‘saved’ him twice today, so he naturally couldn't just watch her suffer.

Zhang Zitong replied with an ‘oh’. A while later, she once again asked with a trembling voice, “What did your respected self really come here to do?”

Zu An was stunned. Why had her tone suddenly become respectful? Even so, he just treated it as her being grateful and didn’t think much of it. He replied, “You didn’t tell me about your purpose either, so why should I tell you mine?”

However, who would have thought that Zhang Zitong would immediately reply, “I'm here on behalf of another to monitor the Devil Sect’s recent course of events. The Devil Sect suddenly carried out a Devil Sect General Assembly, which they haven’t had in many decades, summoning all of their disciples back to their general headquarters. I came to see what was going on and investigate if the Shadow Group is involved in any way.”

Zu An was a bit stunned.

Why is this woman suddenly being a yes-man and answering everything?

Many women in this world would become totally submissive to the first man who obtained their bodies, but he clearly hadn’t done anything to her! Even so, he still asked, “Who sent you?”

Zhang Zitong replied, “A benefactor of mine.”

Zu An thought to himself, Is it the organization she's affiliated with?

Then, he asked a bit more about that person’s identity, but Zhang Zitong shook her head and said, “I can tell you about anything else, but I can't tell you about this.”

When he heard her say that, Zu An didn’t force the issue and continued to treat her.

Soon after, Zhang Zitong finally couldn't take it anymore and began to groan.

...

After some more time passed, Zu An stood up and said, “Alright, the drug is mostly out of your system. The rest you should be able to handle on your own. It should be gone if you rest for a day or two.”

“Thank you!” Zhang Zitong replied as she got up and sorted out her clothes. She was a bit embarrassed because the way she had verbally abused him really was humiliating.

“This place is too dangerous and it doesn’t suit you. You should leave now while no one has seen you yet,” Zu An said, then turned around to leave. Meanwhile, he began to ponder just how he could find Yun Jianyue and her disciple.

According to what Fang Biao said, his older brother was going to marry Qiu Honglei? It seemed that going through the Yin Yang Path would give him a higher chance of getting in touch with the Heavenly Devil School. However, after Fang Biao’s disappearance, the entire place would likely be on higher alert... He could pretend to be Fang Biao and infiltrate the place that way, but if all of his subordinates went missing and he came back alone, that would definitely be suspicious.

He suddenly stopped and looked backward at Zhang Zitong, asking, “Why are you still following me?”

“Is there anything I can do to help your respected self?” Zhang Zitong asked. After some hesitation, she summoned her courage and looked at him directly, continuing, “Sir Eleven?”

Zu An’s eyes narrowed as he looked at her coldly.

Zhang Zitong’s expression was a bit complicated as she continued, “From the moment I first saw you when I entered this city, I felt a sense of familiarity from you. What happened earlier made me even more certain. In the past, Sir Eleven also helped me get rid of poison, and the feeling earlier was exactly the same. I believe that Sir Eleven deals with many people and other matters, so you overlooked that detail.”

Zu An remained quiet for a moment. There were really too many things that had happened recently, so he had forgotten that. He hadn’t expected her to still remember it so clearly. He had always felt a bit troubled, not knowing how to deal with this woman. He still wasn’t sure what camp she belonged to, so it definitely wouldn’t be too suitable to just let her go. Even so, silencing her here didn’t match his way of doing things.

Zhang Zitong spoke up again. “There is no need for you to feel troubled, Sir Eleven. You have shown me such tremendous grace that I would never do anything that would be unfavorable for you.”

Zu An’s expression was cold as he replied, “You're the kind of person whose brain doesn’t always seem useful, and yet you think you're clever. There are some things you shouldn’t say out loud even if you have a good guess. What if I really wanted to silence you right here and now?”

“It doesn’t matter, because I know Sir Eleven isn’t that kind of person,” Zhang Zitong said as she looked at him with a slightly bashful expression. “Also, if sir really wanted to take my life, I would be more than willing.”

“There has to be something wrong with your head, right?” Zu An replied, feeling a bit speechless. Then, he turned around and started walking again.

Zhang Zitong had a smile as she caught up with a small sprint, asking, “Sir, is this your real appearance? As expected, it really is extremely heroic and extraordinary...”

“It’s not,” Zu An said as she turned around and gave her a cold look.

Zhang Zitong only had an even bigger smile on her face as she continued, “I was going to say, sir’s real appearance is definitely like trees of jade towering in the wind; it wouldn’t be so ordinary.”

Zu An was speechless.

“Does sir plan to infiltrate the Devil Sect’s general headquarters?” Zhang Zitong then asked.

“Do you have any suggestions?” Zu An replied while examining his surroundings to avoid others discovering them.

“Since this isn’t sir’s real appearance and no one here can tell the difference, sir no doubt excels at disguise skills. How about just taking on the appearance of Fang Biao? That way, it’d be easy to get closer to the Devil Sect’s higher level figures,” Zhang Zitong suggested.

Zu An couldn't help but give her a look. freew(e)bnovel.com

As expected of someone who could become a silver token envoy, she is pretty sharp.

“Unfortunately, all of Fang Biao’s subordinates were killed. I’ll be easily discovered if I go back on my own," he said.

The people of this world weren’t stupid. If one suddenly pretended to be someone others were familiar with, it would be too easy to be exposed.

“That’s easy enough. Just use me as your female slave,” Zhang Zitong said, sounding a bit eager to give it a try.

Zu An was speechless.
