Lin Chen's tone was accusing; Bai Ruoyan was ashamed to the point she could barely face him.
Focusing his mind, Lin Chen once again manipulated the runic energy to condense in his palm. The toxins in his body seemed to be attracted by Lin Chen's runic energy, slowly following the movements of his palm.
In a moment, Lin Chen was drenched in sweat, but he was fully concentrated, as if seizing some opportunity.
"Come out!"
Lin Chen pressed his palm down, then suddenly lifted it up. Strands of ghostly green mist twisted and writhed, peeled away from Bai Ruoyan's body. They immediately twisted into a ghostly green orb of attribute that Lin Chen absorbed into his palm!
[Host has obtained the special rune: Corrosion Rune level 1.]
[Corrosion Rune: Has the effect of corroding the target's vitality, cultivation, and spirit. When used alone, the power is weak, but when attached to the host's attacks, it allows the host's attacks to have a corrosive effect and become more powerful.]
The moment the tadpole-like ghostly green rune was pulled out, a system screen immediately popped up in front of Lin Chen's eyes. He waved his fist excitedly and laughed out loud, "Success, success! It's real, a new special rune!"
A brand new special rune, the Corrosion Rune! Having two special runes in hand, Lin Chen was confident that even when facing an opponent at the early stage of the Earth Evil Realm, he would have nothing to fear!
The moment the toxins were peeled away from her body, Bai Ruoyan, who was paralyzed in bed, felt her whole body go numb and her tender body trembled slightly.
Although her cultivation was profound and unfathomable, with the toxins spreading throughout her vital energy, she could not circulate any vital energy, otherwise the toxins would only become more concentrated.
After the numbness, what followed was a warm flow of blood and energy. Bai Ruoyan clearly felt that her toxins had indeed decreased!
"It really worked!"
Bai Ruoyan excitedly turned to look at Lin Chen, and at the moment when that fellow was also ecstatic about obtaining a new special rune, the black cloth covering his eyes fell onto the bed.
In the dim room, their eyes met. Through the faint lamplight, Lin Chen saw Bai Ruoyan's fair, beautiful collarbone forming perfect curves, and the glimpse of those snowy peaks was perfectly presented before his eyes...
In that moment, the atmosphere became extremely ambiguous and sensual...
"Ah!"
Bai Ruoyan immediately covered herself, her face flushing red, and glared fiercely at Lin Chen.
"Hey, don't blame me, you were the one who turned around. The blindfold just happened to slip, that's all."
Lin Chen shamelessly shrugged his shoulders, picked up the blindfold, and sneakily stole another glance, muttering in a soft voice, "What a great figure."
"You rogue!"
Bai Ruoyan was both embarrassed and angry. With a raised bare hand, vast vital energy like an abyss swirled as she intended to slap him down. Lin Chen quickly retreated.
"Hey hey, what are you doing? If you kill me, you'll be breaking our agreement. Besides, no one else can cure your toxins! If you feel at a loss, at most I'll let you look back at me, that should be fair enough, right?"
Lin Chen couldn't even fathom Bai Ruoyan's profound cultivation. If she slapped him just once, he would surely be reduced to mush.
Bai Ruoyan lightly spat, "Who wants to look at you, hurry up and cover your eyes."
She then turned around again, and pretended to threaten viciously,
"If you dare to flirt or act like just now again, I'll drag you down with me even if I have to die."
Lin Chen secretly laughed to himself. With the Purple Golden Eyes, he had already seen everything just now. She might profit, but Lin would never lose out!
"Hehe, Lady Ruoyan can rest assured. A gentleman like myself is hard to find even with a lantern. I would never do anything indecent."
Lin Chen sat back down again and chuckled.
Next, Lin Chen imitated the method from before, using only his own runic energy to slowly draw out the toxins from Bai Ruoyan's body bit by bit, turning them into his own 'Corrosion Runes'.
Not only could he increase his own strength, but also take advantage of the situation. Where else could he find such a deal?
During the subsequent process of extracting the Corrosion Runes, Lin Chen deliberately applied a bit more force, stroking Bai Ruoyan's body until she was limp and soft. He just righteously claimed it was necessary for the treatment.
Finally, after a night had passed, Lin Chen reached his limit of extraction.
In total, he had extracted one quarter of all of Bai Ruoyan's toxins. If he extracted any more, it would exceed his capacity.
At that point, the toxins would no longer be stored as attribute spheres in Lin Chen's system, but would truly transfer over to Lin Chen himself. With his current cultivation and frail body, just a tiny bit would be enough to make him suffer a fate worse than death.
But at the very least, Bai Ruoyan would be able to circulate some of her cultivation in the next few decades, without having to worry about the pain brought by the toxins. Relying on her cultivation alone, she could suppress most of it.
"Phew, that wore me out!"
Lin Chen collapsed directly on the bed, gasping for air. After taking 'advantage' of the situation all night, he was exhausted to death.
Bai Ruoyan gathered up her long hair, floated gracefully in midair. An aura of terrifying might emanated from her body, distorting the space around her!
This aura had already far surpassed any Earth Evil Realm expert Lin Chen had ever sensed!
The fact that no attribute spheres appeared around Bai Ruoyan was proof of this.
With Lin Chen's current cultivation, even if a high-level Earth Evil Realm expert was nearby, he would still detect one or two stray attribute spheres around them. Yet there were none around Bai Ruoyan, which left only one possibility - her cultivation was far too powerful.
"Hehe, congratulations Lady Ruoyan."
Just as Lin Chen was about to get up, the fair and delicate jade-like foot of the beauty pressed down on his chest, pinning him to the bed. She smiled and said gently,
"Little one, you sure seemed to enjoy your fondling last night, didn't you?"
Regaining her cultivation made Bai Ruoyan feel as if she had returned to her former lofty and unreachable fairy-like self. She immediately turned on Lin Chen.
Unable to move at all under her restraint, Lin Chen didn't bother resisting. Instead, he shamelessly feasted his eyes on those smooth, round, and fair legs, even whistling appreciatively. He casually laughed,
"Only a quarter of the toxins have been removed. If you kill me now, there'll be no one left to cure your poison in the future. Lady Ruoyan, it's not worth it."
"But these decades will be enough for me to find someone else to cure my poison, so it's not necessarily certain death for me either."
"But others might not cure your poison as proper and upright as I have. What if someone adds something extra or stabs you in the back at a critical moment? Then you'd suffer a great loss, wouldn't you?"
The two sparred with words and wit. Lin Chen did not falter at all, his composure and calm imposing even Bai Ruoyan's notice.
"Hehe, just teasing you. How could I really kill you? I'm not so disloyal."
Bai Ruoyan floated up leisurely like a fairy in the clouds. What Lin Chen didn't notice was that faint, lingering flush on her smiling cheeks, like the afterglow of a setting sun.
