Chapter 69: An Enthusiastic Mob Intending to Catch an Illicit Affair (1)
Ye Jiuge deftly stabbed her Lightning Fire Needle imbued with purple spiritual energy into a Feng Chi Acupoint at the back of Dongfang Que’s ear. This acupoint was considered to be a primary one in the human body. Applying pressure to it could help someone regain lucidity. Of course, this could also be a harrowing experience.
Dongfang Que was in so much agony that his face was deathly pale. In an instant, he regained a hint of clarity. Ye Jiuge seized the opportunity to push him away. After that, she took several Mind-clearing Pills from her pocket and stuffed them into his mouth. Although they could not alleviate the Aphrodisiac’s effects, they should have no problem helping him maintain his presence of mind.
When Dongfang Que recovered his self-control, he was shocked to see Ye Jiuge.
“Why are you here?” he asked. Then, he looked down and saw his palms still placed on the front of her disarrayed clothes and quickly retracted them.
“I don’t have enough time to explain everything to you. We should leave this place at once. If we delay further, it will be too late.” Ye Jiuge carelessly fixed her clothes and stood up. She hurried towards a window.
Dongfang Que followed her automatically. When he saw her pounding on the window with full force, he said with furrowed brows, “These windows are all shut from the outside.”
As soon as he had spoken, they heard a flurry of erratic footsteps. It went without saying that the mob had arrived to catch their illicit affair in the act.
Ye Jiuge glanced at her disorganized clothes before examining Dongfang Que’s stiff yet flushed handsome face. She considered the possibility of presenting themselves as two people having a conversation while drinking tea at the inner palace. Meanwhile, Dongfang Que also came to the realization that something fishy might be going on.
“You should hide in here first,” he said, a hint of viciousness flitting past his glowering, gorgeous face.
