Linhai City, Nightfall.
Yang Zhi gazed at the colorful city lights, but there was no appreciation in his eyes, instead, his face was filled with anxiety.
He's tall and has a buzz cut, wearing a coarse cloth suit. His eyes are sharp and vibrant, but he constantly looks around, as if searching for something.
"The old man said to enter any cottage with a pink light, but I've been looking for so long and can't find a single clue!"
"I'm doomed. I'm afraid I might die from a blood vessel explosion!" Yang Zhi thought despairingly.
At the same time, he cursed his unreliable old man a hundred times in his heart.
It's actually all his fault for being too impulsive. Originally, going down the mountain would've been no problem, but he decided to slip a laxative into the old man's food. Now look, his insult backfired, and he got screwed by the old man instead, who fed him a strange aphrodisiac.
"Within three days, if you do not have sexual intercourse with a woman, your body's blood vessels will go out of control and explode, causing you to die!" The old man squatted in the toilet, looking at Yang Zhi with a perverted face and showing a mouth of yellow teeth, his eyes full of disdain.
Yang Zhi, of course, didn't believe him and laughed playfully.
"Old man, don't try to scare me. Giving you laxatives before leaving was just to teach you a lesson."
"When I was young, you bullied me. Now I finally got my revenge. Were the things you did in the past human-like? You stole candies from the village children and pinned the blame on me, that's one thing. But you peeped on Widow Zhang bathing and left the dirty bucket for me. Are you even human?" Yang Zhi vented his resentment and was upset.
However, looking at the old man in the outhouse in pain from diarrhea, his mood improved many folds.
"You ungrateful brat, I raised you with great difficulty and you actually gave me laxatives! Ah!" Another thunderous sound echoed.
"However, I advise you to hurry down the mountain, ride the fastest horse, and find the most beautiful woman at the foot of the mountain. This aphrodisiac is a weird ancient poison! Or else, wait for your body's meridians to explode and die!" The old man looked at Yang Zhi with a cold smile.
Of course, Yang Zhi didn't believe the old man's lies. He took his time and arrived at Linhai after two days. He originally planned to meet his unknown fiancée the next day, but now his body doesn't feel right.
He stood in the street, his body felt as if it was on fire.
“That bastard, he really drugged me! Damn his ancestors!” Filled with rage, Yang Zhi trembled at the thought of his own veins bursting. Where could he find a woman in an unfamiliar place at this late hour? By now, he was desperate. The old man had been cursed in his mind a hundred times over, and he had graciously cursed his ancestors eighteen generations back.
But then, a voice rang out.
Yang Zhi abruptly rose, his entire body shaking.
“Hey handsome, come have fun!”
Hearing this seductive voice, Yang Zhi laughed manically in his heart. Indeed, there's always hope.
The Odd Pleasure Powder is truly an ancient poison. Sensing Yang Zhi’s changes at this moment, the effect of the drug seemed to be intensifying.
"Thud~"
Blood suddenly spurted out from Yang Zhi’s nose. With a wipe of his hand, he removed it.
" It's okay, it'll be fine soon. I can endure it." Yang Zhi thought, but without pause, he rushed towards the direction where the voice was coming from.
Soon, Yang Zhi arrived at the place where the voice was coming from, about to undress when his whole world fell into chaos.
Before him was a little girl sitting on a toy sheep that was bigger than her body, with her body moving along with the toy.
"Don't look at me as just a sheep"
"Laid-Back Sheep, Cute Sheep, Happy Sheep, Excited Sheep."
Listening to the voice coming from the toy, Yang Zhi was instantly infuriated, he threw his green old-style backpack onto the ground.
"Screw you, Pleasant Goat!"
Upon seeing Yang Zhi in his current state, the little girl playing with the toy jumped, her excited little face instantly clouded over. She timidly climbed down from where she was sitting.
"Uncle, do you want to play? I'll let you use it," she murmured reluctantly.
Yang Zhi felt a bit awkward, not expecting to have disturbed someone.
The main issue was that the Pleasant Goat toy seemed innocent, but it was a struggle to repress the effects of the drugs. He replied composedly,
"Uncle won't play, you go ahead."
Once he finished speaking, the little girl continued to play with her toy.
Yang Zhi felt his blood boiling, staring into the sky for a moment and experiencing a wave of agony.
The laxative prank on the old man became his biggest regret. He cursed himself for his behavior!
"What a pity, my anonymous fiancée has been widowed before we even met."
"Ten years of training in the mountains, just to be played and finished by an old man," Yang Zhi wearily thought.
His consciousness was beginning to blur.
"No wonder it's an ancient deadly poison!" At this moment, Yang Zhi's whole body was redder than molten iron, smoke billowing from his head, his thoughts somewhat jumbled.
However, at that moment, a seductive voice rang out, mingled with several calls for help.
Yang Zhi regained some clarity in his mind and walked towards the direction where the sound originated.
Soon they arrived at a place called the Starry Sky Bar.
Looking at the Starry Sky Bar, Yang Zhi furrowed his brows. This place didn't resemble that kind of venue.
Although the women exiting and entering the bar were scantily dressed, their eyes did not seem to harbor any lusts. It was the men staring at the scantily dressed women in the bar whose eyes were filled with intense desires.
"The call for help came from the second floor, guess I have to check it out," Yang Zhi thought.
He didn't choose to enter through the main gate because people were checking identification there. He just came down from the mountain; he wouldn't have any ID. There was no way he could enter through the main gate.
He walked over to a deserted alley, glanced at the second floor. Suddenly, he used his feet to propel himself from the wall. He levered his body into the air, directly aiming towards the second floor.
As soon as he climbed in, a silhouette came plowing into his arms, carrying a scent with her.
Feeling the softness of her body against him, every cell in Yang Zhi's body seemed to come alive.
"Did I... did I come to the right place?" He asked with a trace of delight on his face.
Indeed, every cloud has a silver lining!
Suddenly, she lifted her head, her dazed eyes flashed with a hint of struggle.
"Mister, save me!" She concluded and her head sunk powerlessly into Yang Zhi's chest.
Yang Zhi was dumbfounded. He could tell at a glance that the woman in front of him was a lady of good family, who was now in this state due to some kind of drug.
He felt complicated and the delighted expression on his face disappeared. They were truly birds of a feather.
Just then, an angry curse sounded.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings! You can't even keep an eye on one single woman? What have you been eating your whole life, crap?" A man blusters from the side of the corridor, with a group of obsequious subordinates trailing behind him.
Several among them are bald, faces etched with scars, their eyes filled with murderous intent, as if they've long been accustomed to handling bloody affairs.
Upon exiting the entrance, he spots the woman cradled in Yang Zhi's arms. He halts along with his entourage.
"Hand the woman over to me and scram, or I'll have one of your arms broken today!" The middle-aged man's eyes flash menacingly. Those who could frequent the second floor of the Starry Sky Bar were generally influential figures. Even though Yang Zhi doesn't look like one, he didn't dismiss the possibility out right.
"Oh? This woman doesn't seem related to you? Who she chooses to be with doesn't matter, right? Coincidentally, I am quite eager today." Yang Zhi looks at the crowd before him and says calmly.
Upon seeing his demeanor, the middle-aged man's face turns icy cold. No one has ever dared to snatch food right from his, Tiger San's, mouth.
"Young man, where are you from? I haven't seen you around in Linhai," Tiger San coldly inquires. He has come across most of the big shots in Linhai and being a cautious man himself, he didn't want to cross paths with anybody powerful, so he asked gently.
"Tiger Bro, why are you wasting your time talking to this brat? We’ve dealt with more than enough lives; simply kill him!" At this moment, a henchman fiercely glares at Yang Zhi.
Before he can finish speaking, Tiger San glares back at him. His heart is filled with rage. If these imbeciles hadn't lost sight of a woman, they wouldn't have attracted unnecessary trouble. If Young Master Liu arrived and saw this mess, Tiger San would undoubtedly be heavily reprimanded.
"Are you stupid or what? I just came down from the mountains, how would you recognize me? Can you remember each and every one of the billions of people in China?" Yang Zhi feels a rush of energy and begins to verbally assault Tiger San.
Taken aback, Tiger San's face turns ashen.
"I've lived through hell and high water, have quite a few lives under my belt, but never thought my courage would dwindle with time. Now even low-lifes dare to shit on my head," he says coldly. Now, he's confident that Yang Zhi is just a country bumpkin who came to the city recently.
"You've chosen to walk the path to hell yourself when there was a stairway to heaven. Finish him off!" With a wave of Tiger San's hand, he directs his underlings to pounce on Yang Zhi, like rabid dogs.
Yang Zhi gazes at the oncoming throng, his eyes flashing with icy contempt. In his view, these little hooligans aren't worth his time.
"Wait!"
However, in the nick of time, an icy female voice rings out. Tiger San upon seeing the woman's grim face, although somewhat upset, stops his followers in their tracks.
