Poison of the Human Panacea

Chapter 18

The Xi Qiang's eyes immediately lit up, tucking the gold foil into his robes. He looked left and right. "You, follow me!"  

"Sect——where are you going?" Li Wuzhang saw Bai Tan walking away with the Xi Qiang and quickly followed.  

"You are not allowed to follow me*. No one is allowed!" Bai Tan shouted in a sharp tone to stop the other, even Mi Sha was glared at and Li Wuzhang pulled him back.  

He followed the Xi Qiang to his booth alone——it was a tent that could fit dozens of people. With the thick leather curtain lifted, an odor[1] soared out to the sky. Inside was an eye-catching sight of a dozen small and big cages containing many exotic creatures.  

The Xi Qiang walked in undisturbed[2] and went straight to one of the cages. He dragged out a male deer with an orangey-red body. The deer's eyes were bloodshot. He stomped his four hooves anxiously and restlessly. It was an obvious sign of being in heat.  

"A plateau kirin-deer[3] is only met once a century. You're[4] in luck."  

The Xi Qiang chuckled with a 'haha' as he said that. Putting his braid on his neck, he pulled out a sharp knife used to remove bones from his waist area. Rolling up his sleeves, he raised his hand before bringing the knife down. Instantly, the deer head was cut off. Fresh blood surged out like a spring, emitting waves of hot air. The Xi Qiang took a bowl made of bone and filled it then flipped the deer's body over –  

Only to see the deer's p.e.n.i.s under its abdomen was as thick as a child's arm, creating instant fear for him.  

He chopped it off in one swing, tossing it in the blood then handed it to Bai Tan. "Mn, eat it raw. Don't cook it – makes it lose its effect. Even if someone was castrated, eating this, they can still rejuvenate their man pride. But remember, if you[5] want nourishment, then take caution to not vent the flames[6]. Endure it a little more."  

Bai Tan stared at the enormous object. His face turned blue.  

Li Wuzhang followed to the doorstep and just happened to see the scene. He then instantly understood. He awkwardly turned around to stand to the side. "Sect Leader, exactly what item are you trying to buy?"  

Bai Tan quickly stuffed the deer p.e.n.i.s into the noctule skin bag[7] which can make the weapons he carried on his back invisible. Without a single word, he walked back. The sedan was carried to him, he took one step into the sedan. Just then he heard the Xi Qiang yelling from behind, "Remember to eat it raw!" Immediately, there was a thought of silencing him.  

But with so many people staring, even as the sect leader of a demonic sect, it was not good to create complications. Holding back the whole stomach of fire[8], he ducked into the sedan. Later, the group of people went towards the only inn in the city.  

Not far away, about a dozen human figures that had been crouching on the stone wall for a long time all leaped down quietly.  

"Did you see clearly? Was that really the Da Tang Zhu[9]?" One of them asked a companion in half believe and half doubt. They spoke in the Jie Clan's commonly used Northern Hun language[10]. "Wasn't he killed by the "mara", Wu Yanfu? Did Wu Yanfu's boy toy actually protect and save his life? Also, that boy toy, is he really the current sect leader?"  

Another sneered. "Even if he is the sect leader, there is no threat. Did you see his delicate and feminine appearance? He was obviously only able to sit on this sect leader's spot because he was protected by those eagle claws of Wu Yanfu's. He only has some beauty and used it to get others' liking. A boy toy is just a boy toy. Today, we'll definitely need to rescue Da Tang Zhu from there," the person said as his tone turned a bit sorrowful. "As of now, we don't even know how he's doing. Only with his return to Yin Yue Palace will the internal chaos settled and the various halls be united under a single ruler."  

"Yes… San[11] Tang Zhu. This subordinate will give his all."  

"Mn. You guys go and observe first. Keep a low profile." The man who was referred as San Tang Zhu stepped out of the shadows, revealing a rather handsome face. He got rid of his whole body of black attire and put on a felt hat. The Meridian Soul Chasing Claw in his hand reflected a heart chilling light for a moment before it was tucked inside his narrow sleeve.  

The sedan traveled to the front of an inn then stopped.  

The exterior of the inn was a uniquely shaped down-sized stone palace. The outer walls were greyish-white with cracks. It was not a sight to praise for. Two naked female statues stood tall in bewitching poses by the doorway. They carried a water vase, tilting it as if they were pouring out a spring. Looking in, the interior had a faint ambiguous aura that could daze people. Compared to the rough, vast desert, they seemed quite incompatible for each other.  

However, there were fogs rising. It seemed there was indeed a water source.  

"Sect Leader, we will be resting here tonight," Ji Du said from outside.  

Bai Tan held onto the hot item in his arms. He wiped the sweat off of his face then remembered something again. He turned back to take a veil and cover it over Wu Yanfu's face, then casted a spell to let the other follow him down the sedan at his pace.  

Following the others inside the inn, he could not help but be shocked.  

This inn was not like normal inns. The main hall had no tables, chairs, or benches. In the center was a large, round pool. A stream of spring water was gus.h.i.+ng out with 'gugu' sounds from the bottom of the pool while hot steam rose from the surface. It was clearly a bathhouse. There were a dozen travelers; some were immersed in the pool while others sat by the pool bare chested. They either took large meat pieces and devoured them in a satisfied manner, drank wine by themselves, or were engaged in conversations. Few exotic, beautiful women were only half dressed in tunics while they walked around the side of the pool. They threw and scattered fragrant substances while dancing with grace, adding an oddly amorous and enchanting atmosphere to the inn.  

Except——for the wall that had dark blood stains built up from months and years; it could never be wiped away. It hinted that this was not a peaceful place specifically for people to pastime.  

They entered as a group of a dozen people and stood out. Every other guest in the main hall were suddenly quiet while a few dark skinned, tall, and muscular men who seemed like the Xiongnu[12] people had the look of hostility in their eyes.  

Bai Tan only thought of them as a group of bandits who specifically looked for merchant groups to rob. But he did not know that the ones staring at him were guessing if the masked beauty dressed in dancer attire was the current Fu Tu Sect Sect Leader who killed the "Mara" – the boy toy who used his beauty to obtain others' liking. Checking him out up and down, a similar feeling of despise and interest grew in their hearts: wanting to get close enough to see what the other actually looked like or even going as far as teasing and humiliating the beauty who used his charm to secure himself the sect leader spot.  

"Hey, that's him, right? As expected, he has the appearance of a boy toy." A person asked in a low voice.  

Another continued on, "Since 'Mara' died, Fu Tu Sect no longer amounts to anything much anymore. With a delicate, soft boy toy holding the sect leader's spot, it straight up makes people lose their front teeth from laughing. Look at his eyes, and that pair of legs. Tsk, what a fox[13]. Does he even have a handle[14] down there?"  

"You don't say, remember when the Gong Zhu[15] was still alive? I've seen him once. How many pets did Gong Zhu have by his side? Yet, not one could compete with that little evildoer[16] who looks neither male nor female."  

"Heh, what do you say? How would that little evildoer look after he takes off all his clothes? Born with a handle or breast? How many holes and can it be f.u.c.ked?"  

Bai Tan did not understand Northern Hun language. He could only hear them exchanging words over there, speaking roughly and urgently, making him feel irritated. But every single word from those sentences had fallen on Wu Yanfu's ears. Hearing them getting more and more shameless as they spoke, he squinted his eyes. Gazing through the veil to look over at those people, indeed, a couple of them were familiar looking. When he personally presented Bai Tan to Yue Yin Palace's Gong Zhu, they were at the scene too.  

That day, no matter how much Bai Tan would kneel in front of him and piteously beg, he still ruthlessly decided to abandon him[17]. Thinking of it now, he felt as if his five organs were burning[18]. Hearing those filthy words, it was as if he was suffering from a cruel torture.  

Bai Tan turned his face around, looking towards the person who was speaking slightly louder than the rest in the group, and coincidentally discovered that he was staring at him. It instantly made him displeased down in his heart. The person got a glare from him, but it only made him excited. He purposely stood up from the water, shaking his flabby thighs[19]. The thing between his legs also swayed along——the indecent meaning did not need to be spelled out to be understood.  

Bai Tan was extremely maddened; murderous intent secretly grew. He even forgot to control the spell. The yao ren behind him stumbled a bit. His large, tall body tilted slightly but unexpectedly halted. He s.h.i.+fted slightly to the right, using his entire body to block the other's body behind him, stopping all gazes directed towards him.  

At this time, a Persian beauty approached solicitously, calling to the inside once.  

The inn owner came out in the blink of an eye and was also a female who was extraordinarily charming. On her right cheek was the tattoo of a lotus flower. Within the Wu Lin of the Western Region, she was the one with the well-known name of "Demonic Beauty[20] of Loulan," Gui Yu'er. This woman was good at using her singing to seduce others; her Art of Moyin Shepo[21] was already trained to an extremely high level. Since she took the last Loulan Emperor's life on his birthday banquet, she was known through that one action. That was why even though she was by herself in this vast desert, not many would dare to make a move on her.  

"Yo[22], did you finally remember me[23]?" With only one glance at Ji Du, she was able to recognize him. She gave a delightful smile, about to speak, but her mouth was covered by Ji Du's hand.  

"Shush, today we're here to borrow your place for a rest. Reminisce about old times another day."  

Gui Yu'er unhappily pouted and slid a finger down his nose bridge. She then averted her eyes over to look at Bai Tan, checking him out up and down. "Is this beauty your new favorite?"  

Bai Tan kept a blank face, darting a cold look at Ji Du, which scared him and caused him to feel chills on his back before he quickly replied, "No. Allow us to go in and talk. Are there any empty rooms upstairs?"  

But Gui Yu'er crossed her arms and blocked the way. "You know my rules here: I don't take any guests with unknown backgrounds. One's with unknown intentions aren't allowed to stay either. Not even regulars can."  

Naturally he could not expose Bai Tan's ident.i.ty; Ji Du couldn't help but say, "This is the beauty that Persia is offering to the Emperor of Yanqi. We abducted her and was about to send her to Xi Ye to offer her to the current emperor of Xi Ye.  

"Oh——good that he's not your little lover." A corner of Gui Yu'er's mouth raised up. She stopped making troubles for them. As she swayed her b.u.t.t and led them upstairs, she ordered the servants, "Get eighteen lamb legs and three vats of ten year old Sea Buckthorn wine. Be quick on your feet. Do not let our valuable guests wait for long."  

"Wait."  

With the loud sound of someone calling, a bare chested Xiongnu stood up abruptly from the pool and walked down the pool steps while the other few Xiongnus also gathered around.  

Bai Tan watched them move arrogantly, feeling displeased down in his heart.  

One of them walked straight towards him and was just stopped by a rakshasa when the person opened his mouth, smiling in an unbearable, obscenely evil way. "Heard that Persian beauties are extremely charming. Don't know if it's true or not, but just looking at this pair of eyes, it's like my soul is being hooked and absorbed[24]. Wouldn't you guys agree?"  

"That we wouldn't know. Gotta see the face before we say anything!"  

The head saw that Bai Tan was still silent with no words then took further steps of impudicity. "You guys are foreign guests. To get pa.s.sed this place, don't you know you have to offer our leader some pa.s.sing fee? Or else do you guys not want your lives? But, I think this beauty is pretty good——" He said, then reached a hand, wanting to take off Bai Tan's cloak.  

A rakshasa caught his hand immediately but instead got his hand caught when the man turned his hand around. It instantly broke and ripped his bones and muscles – his blood and flesh turned into mush. Rakshasas are living dead, naturally they can't feel pain. But Bai Tan was shocked and his heart s.h.i.+vered in fear——  

What a cruel move!  

He immediately took a step backwards, but the Xiongnu decided to go even further[25]  with a straight attack towards his chest.  

Bai Tan blocked it with his sleeve, even the s.h.i.+yue hook and Pori ax were trembling violently behind his back. He did not want to expose his true ident.i.ty like this, so he simply threw himself face forward into the Xiongnu's embrace. The Xiongnu was unprepared for the warm and soft body falling into his arms, all the strength from his hand was melted down to nothing. Then he saw those close-up pair of beautifully dark and deep phoenix-like eyes, to only feel a breath of air being blown on the side of his ear. He immediately lost all sense of reality[26]. His blood vessels expanded in his excitement and he froze on the spot.  

"You want to see my face?" The sound was soft like the moan of the wind, yet it immediately changed into Gui Yu'er's face. Looking at the small delicate structured "female", the person was actually now using the Art of Enchantment, and their moyin[27]  seduction skills were much higher than hers.  

Just as she wanted to stop them, Ji Du grabbed onto her wrist and gave a glance of warning.

"Dream on."  

Right as the sound entered his ear, there was a light tap of a fingertip at the Xiongnu's chest. His whole body was instantly flung backwards due to the impact and he fell straight into the water. A huge wave of water radiated and rose up from the impact. In the blink of an eye, the pool was dyed blood red.  

Then looking at the remaining few again, they stared as their tongue tied up[28]. They quickly gathered around the pool.  

Did the person inside there even have a breath?  

His chest had a burned, b.l.o.o.d.y hole, coincidentally at the entrance of the flowing spring.  

Gui Yu'er saw the change of events and could not help but think that it was terrible. The Xiongnu people within the Western Region were always barbaric and tyrannical. Killing one would dreadfully lead a whole group of them here. With the incident, she realized who this "Persian beauty" was. She turned towards him and slightly bent her knees while bowing, making her moyin travel into the other's ear. "[29]Gui Yu'er greets Sect Leader Bai."  

Bai Tan lifted his eyes to look at her but did not say anything and only reached his hand to flit by her chin. Gui Yu'er felt a strong charm from his long slim, fingers intruding every one of her pores and it numbed her whole body.  

This, this person was actually born with an alluring bone. Then he must be one of her clan's people.  

And if the charm on him was this thick, the alluring bone was probably close to maturing.
