Chapter 297
Xu Ming actually felt that his willpower was quite strong.
Even though the aphrodisiac smoke and the medicinal pill had stirred up the deepest, most primal desires within him, making him want to do what creatures in the animal kingdom often did in spring, he was still able to resist. This was thanks to the enhancement of his willpower after experiencing that tribulation.
But for Wu Yanhan, it was a different story.
At this moment, Wu Yanhan’s eyes were already hazy, nearly losing all reason. She clung tightly to Xu Ming, her soft lips pressing against his in a deep kiss. That tender sweetness momentarily made Xu Ming lose himself.
Xu Ming tried to push Wu Yanhan away, but her strength was too great—she held onto him tightly. His broad palm rested on her slender waist, and at his touch, Wu Yanhan’s delicate body trembled, as if she was falling even deeper.
Initially, Xu Ming’s mind remained clear, but gradually, under the combined effects of the aphrodisiac smoke, the drug from the Wu Emperor, and Wu Yanhan’s direct assault, his resistance weakened.
The most crucial factor was—this time, it was different from before.
Back when he was in the Yuanyang Cauldron with Mo Zhuer, he actually harbored feelings of disgust toward her. That aversion had helped him resist more effectively back then, though in the end, he still succumbed.
But now, facing Wu Yanhan, things were different. Xu Ming did have feelings for her.
