Chapter 29: A Night of Torment

Chapter 29: A Night of Torment

Zhou Lang turned around to see Li Mengxue's delicate body shifting slightly on the bed, looking as if she were parched.

People who have been drinking are usually like this; if they don't get some water, they feel extremely uncomfortable. So, he went to the living room, filled a cup with warm water from the dispenser, and brought it into the bedroom.

With a flushed Face, Zhou Lang pushed the scattered, sexy undergarments on the bed to the side and sat down next to Li Mengxue.

Even though his cultivation was already quite high, his heart rate accelerated sharply. He felt as if the temperature in the room was rising rapidly.

"Water… hot…"

Li Mengxue murmured again.

Zhou Lang couldn't worry about anything else and had to help Li Mengxue up, leaning her against the headboard.

Just as he was about to give her the water, his eyes couldn't help but stray to Li Mengxue's chest. It turned out that while he was out getting the water, several buttons on her nightgown had come undone, revealing black lingerie and her snowy white chest—he could even see the rounded curves of her breasts.

Previously, Li Mengxue had been lying on her side facing away, so he hadn't noticed much. Now, however, he could see everything clearly.

This wasn't an era where one strictly followed the rule of 'see no evil.' Faced with such a beautiful sight, Zhou Lang couldn't help but take a few more looks.

This process lasted for a full ten seconds. It wasn't until Li Mengxue murmured for water again that he snapped back to his senses and fed her the water.

After drinking, Li Mengxue quieted down, and her breathing gradually became long and steady; she had clearly fallen asleep.

So, Zhou Lang helped Li Mengxue lie flat on her back.

Even lying flat, Li Mengxue's explosive figure still showed enticing curves that were incredibly tempting. In particular, the glimpse of spring at her chest constantly drew Zhou Lang's gaze and stimulated his nerves.

A jade body laid bare!

Zhou Lang felt that only after seeing Li Mengxue asleep did he truly understand what those words meant!

But this was, after all, Li Mengxue's private bedroom, and he was only her temporary bodyguard. It wasn't appropriate for him to stay here for long.

"Zhou Lang, you… don't go… you… you have to protect me." Suddenly, Li Mengxue turned over and began talking in her sleep.

"She's drunk and indeed needs someone to look after her. Fine, I'll stay in her room. I just hope she won't blame me when she wakes up tomorrow morning."

Zhou Lang's heart softened. He sat down on the bedroom floor and began to Cultivate the 'Dual Cultivation Art' from his ancestral Dual Cultivation Manual.

Usually, as long as he focused his mind on his Dantian, he could concentrate immediately. Tonight, however, he felt a bit distracted and infatuated, unable to enter the proper state.

Needless to say, Zhou Lang suffered through a night of torment. Seeing such a beautiful woman lying right across from him, any normal man would have the urge to pounce.

Zhou Lang was neither a hypocrite nor a moralist. Like any normal man, he liked beautiful women and hoped for something to happen between them.

But unlike some men, he wouldn't kick someone while they were down or take advantage of a precarious situation. This was a principle of conduct his grandfather had taught him when he was young.

Since Li Mengxue was currently unconscious, he was content with just looking at the beauty at her chest and didn't intend to take the opportunity to bed his beautiful boss.

He even thought about buttoning up her nightgown for her, but he worried that if she woke up while he was doing it, he wouldn't be able to explain himself. Thus, he abandoned the idea.

Zhou Lang endured the torment, feeling both happy and pained.

…

That night, Zhou Lang wasn't the only one suffering. Li Qi was as well, though Li Qi's torment was pure pain without any pleasure.

He had brought over a dozen men to capture Li Mengxue, only to be taught a lesson by Zhou Lang. After fleeing, he returned home in a foul mood.

He was, after all, a small-time gang leader and wasn't exactly short on money. He frequently demanded money from Li Mengxue partly because he wanted to possess her and partly because of his thuggish nature.

In reality, his life was quite comfortable. He had bought a three-bedroom apartment of over 130 square meters in the city, which was luxuriously decorated. He had even found a gold-digging girl from Feiyun Normal University to live with him, indulging in nightly pleasures like an old bull eating tender grass.

The girl's name was Zhong Ke'er, and she was considered a 'department beauty' at her school. She often hung around entertainment venues like bars and KTVs, which is how she happened to meet Li Qi.

Li Qi had some money and a group of brothers under him, and he often acted like a wealthy tycoon in front of Zhong Ke'er. Thus, he quickly won her over and they began living together. Of course, they were both just playing around and had no intention of getting married. To put it bluntly, Li Qi was after Zhong Ke'er's looks, and Zhong Ke'er was after Li Qi's money.

"Brother Qi, you're back."

When Li Qi returned home, Zhong Ke'er didn't notice that his expression was off and enthusiastically clung to him.

This Zhong Ke'er was only twenty years old, but she dressed very provocatively.

Currently, she was wearing a student outfit, but it wasn't a school uniform; it was an adult-themed costume. The shirt was very thin, nearly translucent, and so short it revealed her slender waist. The skirt below was even more exaggerated, barely covering her buttocks; any movement or step she took risked exposing everything.

She was very tall, with her long legs encased in white stockings and her feet in a pair of red high heels, looking very avant-garde and sexy.

This girl had matured early; otherwise, she wouldn't have been looking for men in entertainment venues at such a young age. Furthermore, after being 'developed' by several men, she was no different from a woman in her thirties or forties, becoming as insatiable as a wolf or tiger. If she didn't roll around in the sheets for two days, she would feel uncomfortably parched.

"Yeah."

Li Qi grunted in response, saying nothing else.

"Brother Qi, did you get your debt back this time?" Zhong Ke'er smiled charmingly. "Tomorrow I want to buy an LV bag and a high-end outfit because I have a class reunion in a few days. It's not that I'm spending money recklessly; I'm just afraid of losing Face for you, Brother Qi."

"I didn't get it back. I even took over a dozen brothers with me, but that bastard actually hid from me."

Li Qi said angrily. He frequently extorted money from Li Mengxue, but in front of Zhong Ke'er, he bragged that others owed him a lot of money.

"Brother Qi, take me with you to collect the debt tomorrow. I'll help you throw a fit, curse them out, and throw sulfuric acid."

Zhong Ke'er was a bit unhappy. They had been on a shopping spree recently, and their bank balance wasn't very high. If he didn't get the money, how was she supposed to buy designer clothes and bags?

"I can handle it myself."

Li Qi said irritably. In fact, he knew that as long as Zhou Lang was by Li Mengxue's side, it would be very difficult for him to get any more money from her. Unless he asked his Big Brother to step in, but if his Big Brother got involved, even if they got the money, two-thirds would probably be taken by him, leaving Li Qi with very little.

Seeing that Li Qi was displeased, Zhong Ke'er immediately softened her expression and breathed into his ear, "Brother Qi, you were busy yesterday and didn't favor me. Let's go roll in the sheets now."

Zhong Ke'er was indeed very sexy, and her ability to seduce men was no joke. Because of this, Li Qi was willing to let her squander the money he earned. Normally, if Li Qi were teased like this by Zhong Ke'er, he would definitely pounce on her immediately for a grand battle. Strangely, today he seemed to have no desire in that regard.

"Go take a shower first," Li Qi said. He planned to let Zhong Ke'er stimulate his desire while they showered.

"Then let's go now."

Since no one else was home, Zhong Ke'er wasn't shy. Her hand slid down Li Qi's waist and unzipped his pants.

Soon, the two stripped off their clothes and entered the bathroom.

Zhong Ke'er truly was a naturally flirtatious woman; she seemed very thirsty. Her delicate hands actively wandered over Li Qi's body, and her breathing gradually quickened. The bathroom was filled with the sounds of heavy breathing, and the ambiguous atmosphere rose rapidly.

But Li Qi had no reaction; a certain part of him remained limp.

"Brother Qi, come on, stop teasing me."

Li Qi finally realized something was wrong with him. Looking at the naked, sexy body before him, he felt a mental urge to have a three-hundred-round battle with Zhong Ke'er in the bathroom, but he was powerless because his member showed no reaction at all.

"What's wrong with me?"

Li Qi was shocked. He was usually as energetic as a dragon or tiger, capable of performing three times a night. This was one of the reasons Zhong Ke'er was willing to stay with him, as most men couldn't truly satisfy her. The other main reason, of course, was that Li Qi was willing to spend money on her.

While Li Qi was still wondering what was wrong with his body, Zhong Ke'er started to stimulate him, but the result was the same—no reaction at all.

"Brother Qi, did you go out and cheat?"

After some effort, Zhong Ke'er also realized Li Qi's body wasn't normal today. She immediately said coldly, "No wonder you're saying you have no money and are reluctant to buy me clothes. It seems you have another woman!"

"How is that possible? Since I met you, I've only had you," Li Qi said quickly. Zhong Ke'er's skills in bed were incredible, and he was deeply infatuated with her, so he didn't want to fall out with her.

"Then why is it always limp down there? I know your body; you can go four or five times a day and still not be like a dead loach."

Naturally, Zhong Ke'er didn't believe him.

"I don't know what's going on either. Maybe I'm just too tired from trying to collect the debt today, and not finding the person made me angry." Li Qi grew anxious and started making excuses.

He never imagined that back in the abandoned park, when Zhou Lang hit his abdomen with a small pebble, his fate as a man was sealed. Zhou Lang's strike hadn't been random; he had intentionally left a hidden effect.

"Then let's finish showering, rest for a bit, and then try again," Zhong Ke'er said, her expression softening slightly.

"Okay."

Li Qi nodded and started washing.

After showering, the two lay down on the bed.

Zhong Ke'er was unsatisfied, while Li Qi was wondering what exactly was wrong with him. Both tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
