Chapter 59: An Absolute Beauty
She was a woman of such beauty, on par with Li Huiran and Zhao Hongyu, but her ample bust was even more impressive.
Dignity and charm coexisted within her. Her delicate, flushed face seemed like a perfect heavenly sculpture, complemented by a pair of captivating eyes. Her long hair was intricately braided, and a sky-blue sheath dress showcased her full, enchanting figure. The slit on the skirt was cut daringly high, offering glimpses of her pale thighs as she moved. On her delicate feet, she wore a pair of embroidered high heels.
Her dazed and hazy state only served to enhance her charm.
Chen Dong stared at the woman. She looked somewhat familiar, as if he'd seen her somewhere before.
But her steps were unsteady and weak. By the time she reached Chen Dong, her legs gave out, and she fell right into his arms.
Just then, three people came chasing after her from the staircase: two bodyguards in black suits and a pot-bellied, bald middle-aged man wrapped in nothing but a bath towel.
The man's eyes glinted fiercely as he scanned the area. When he saw Chen Dong holding the woman, he snarled menacingly, "Who are you?! Let go of my girlfriend!"
The woman, weak and breathless, whispered a plea into Chen Dong's ear, "Save me!"
Chen Dong raised an eyebrow. 'Looks like trouble found me again,' he thought. He could tell with a single glance that the woman had been drugged with an aphrodisiac. Her plea for help made it clear they weren't a couple just spicing things up in the bedroom.
So, Chen Dong said coldly, "This is my woman. And who the hell are you, punk?"
The man looked confused for a second, then his expression turned vicious. "Your woman? In your dreams! You little piece of scum, you'd better not ruin my fun!"
"She's in my arms, so she's my woman," Chen Dong stated arrogantly.
Seeing that Chen Dong wouldn't back down, the man roared, "Kill him! And be careful not to damage my little beauty!"
The two burly, grim-faced bodyguards in black charged forward.
Still holding the woman, Chen Dong's legs became a blur. With two swift kicks, he sent each bodyguard flying several meters.
The two bodyguards crashed heavily to the ground, unable to get back up.
The man hadn't expected Chen Dong to be so skilled. His two battle-hardened bodyguards were taken down in an instant. Realizing he was no match for Chen Dong, he didn't dare advance. Instead, he took two steps back and yelled, "You brat, stop meddling in things that don't concern you! I'm someone you can't afford to mess with!"
Chen Dong's sharp eyes narrowed. "Someone I can't afford to mess with? We'll see about that." With a flicker of movement, he kicked the man square in the stomach. The man clutched his belly, an astonished look on his face as he knelt, foaming at the mouth.
'He couldn't understand it. He hadn't even announced who he was, yet this brat still dared to lay a hand on him.'
After dealing with the men, Chen Dong was faced with a dilemma.
The hands of the woman in his arms had begun to wander over his body. Her breath was sweet and fragrant against his skin, and her eyes were heavy-lidded with desire.
It seemed the aphrodisiac had fully taken effect.
Chen Dong found an empty room, used his True Qi to force the lock, and carried the woman inside, tossing her onto the bed.
The woman had already begun to tear at her own clothes. Her delicate shoulders were exposed, and her white lingerie was faintly visible.
She fought to control herself, but her instincts were overpowering. Looking at Chen Dong's handsome and powerful figure, she thought, 'If it has to be someone, I suppose he's... acceptable.'
But Chen Dong didn't pounce on her like a wild animal, as she had imagined. Instead, he took out several Silver Needles. He placed twelve needles in her abdomen, then swiftly inserted another six into points on her head.
The woman calmed down instantly.
After a long while, her mind slowly cleared.
Seeing that she was lucid, Chen Dong retrieved the Silver Needles.
At that moment, the woman began to doubt herself. 'Has my charm faded?'
In her experience, everyone she met—men and even some women, aside from her own family—flocked to her like moths to a flame. Every one of them wanted to possess her. And yet, this man, faced with her in the full throes of an aphrodisiac, remained completely composed. A gourmet delicacy was served to him on a silver platter, and he didn't even take a single bite.
She sighed internally. 'A man like this... he's either a true gentleman or... well, that's just impossible.' At the same time, she was secretly relieved that her virtue remained intact.
Just then, she noticed Chen Dong staring intently at her chest. It was only then that she realized her clothes were in disarray, her ample bosom half-exposed.
Overcome with embarrassment, she hurriedly tried to fix her clothes, only to find the collar, which she had torn herself, wouldn't close.
After a moment, she stopped trying. 'He's already seen everything anyway,' she thought.
She spoke, her voice shy. "My name is Qin Yun. Thank you for saving me, my benefactor. This humble girl has no way to repay your kindness. I can only promise to serve you like a beast of burden in my next life to thank you."
Chen Dong froze. 'Wait, that's not how this trope is supposed to go!'
'Aren't they supposed to pledge themselves to serve you for life in gratitude? There aren't many guys as handsome as me left in the world! How did I get downgraded to being served by a beast of burden, and in the next life, no less?!'
Feeling somewhat offended, Chen Dong looked at her with disdain and said, "How about something more practical? I'd have to wait until the next life for that cow-and-horse business. A check or cash will do just fine!"
Qin Yun's mouth fell open in surprise. "You don't recognize me?"
Chen Dong shook his head. "You look a little familiar, but I'm sure I don't know you."
Qin Yun was floored. 'I'm the great Celestial Empress, and there's actually someone who doesn't recognize me? Did he travel here from another dimension or something?!'
A small spark of annoyance ignited within her. 'It was just a little joke, and this man actually took it seriously! Now he's demanding money from me! He has absolutely none of the bearings of a gentleman.' She was about to look for her purse and phone, but then she remembered Luo Feng had taken them.
For a moment, she gritted her teeth in silent fury. 'How dare He Xiang drug me! And that bitch Luo Feng, how dare she betray me!'
But when she saw the expectant look in Chen Dong's eyes, she could only put on a pitiful, aggrieved expression and say, "I don't have any money!"
