Chapter 428: Chapter 428: The Technology Gap is Killing Us (1)_1

Mo Heng always had a faint cold fragrance about him. Leaning against his body, that subtly detectable scent was now magnified several times, deeply stimulating Pei Qin’s nerves.

Pei Qin was not an innocent young girl unaware of the ways of the world. In the modern age of abundant internet information, she had seen her fair share of adult films. She knew exactly what was happening to her body—she had been aroused by an aphrodisiac. As she moved to a safe distance from Mo Heng, Pei Qin cursed while holding the dagger Lu Hai had given her, "Damn it!"

Seeing that Feng Wei and Lu Hai could hold their defenses, Pei Qin felt feverishly hot, and Mo Heng’s grip around her arm tightened, "Let’s get out of here first!" He helped her onto the carriage and drove off on another road to avoid danger.

The intense craving inside her was about to burst forth. Pei Qin bit down on her teeth, and the first thought she had was to see a doctor. Only medical treatment could resolve an affliction caused by this kind of drug.

After pinching herself hard, Pei Qin leaned weakly against the carriage door, "Blind man Mo! Go find a doctor!"

Mo Heng turned to glance at her, his lips pressed thinly as he continued to drive, "To see a doctor now would certainly lead to ruin and disgrace."

"Can a reputation be eaten as food!? I’m about to explode!" bellowed Pei Qin in anger. After cursing, she saw that Mo Heng kept driving and didn’t ask him to change direction anymore. Her reputation meant nothing to her, but she couldn’t disregard the concerns of Little Radish and the others. Damn it! She wasn’t looking to get involved with them, but they were all too eager to court death!

Mo Heng soon parked the carriage at the gate of a small courtyard and entered.

Pei Qin tried to jump down from the carriage but found she could hardly stand.

Mo Heng extended his arms and caught her.

Pei Qin was startled, having always thought of Mo Heng as just a handsome but useless vase, albeit a learned one. But after being held by him, she realized he was tall and had a firm chest.

"Can you still walk?" asked Mo Heng, holding her close and speaking in a low voice. Her fiery gaze burned into him, causing his ears to rapidly redden.

Pei Qin clenched her teeth, trying to muster the strength to follow him inside as she asked with labored breathing, "Is there a way... to cool down?"

Mo Heng helped her to sit on the luohan bed and took her hand to check her pulse.

"You know medical arts?" Pei Qin was relieved.

Mo Heng felt her abnormally racing heartbeat, "You’ve been hit by an aphrodisiac, cold water won’t help..."

"Damn it! What do you mean? Every drug should have an antidote!" Pei Qin still had great faith in medical science.

"Many drugs... have no cure," Mo Heng said as he stood up, seemingly hesitating over something.

Pei Qin bristled, "So you’re saying, I really need to find a man!?"

Mo Heng looked at her, silent.

Pei Qin cursed bitterly. She had drunk quite a lot of tea before bed, probably making the drug effect even stronger. Now to find a man—where would she find one? Could she even go out and attack someone?

"I..." Mo Heng began, looking at her expression.

Pei Qin’s gaze measured him from his face: his clear-cut features were stunningly beautiful, his jade-like face flushed red, even prettier than a woman’s, but most importantly, he was a man!

Mo Heng stepped back two paces, his eyes downcast, "I... will go out and... find someone for you."

She didn’t want him? Pei Qin’s face grew dark. Seeing him lifting his foot to leave, she angrily asked, "Aren’t you a man!?"

Mo Heng stopped and looked at her deeply, "I... can’t..."

Pei Qin was about to curse when she realized what he meant and raised an eyebrow, "Are you impotent because of the poison you encountered before, and the subsequent injury?"

Mo Heng’s handsome face darkened slightly, and he didn’t reply.

"Then come over here!" Pei Qin thought to herself—it was perfect if he couldn’t because it saved her the trouble of having to go out and overpower someone.

Mo Heng stood still, his brows now furrowed.

"I’m telling you to come here, did you hear me!?" Pei Qin mustered the strength to rise, her body soft and weak, reaching out towards him.
