After stepping out of Xia He’s room, Lin Mo called out to the system.
‘System, don’t you have items from all realms in your lottery?’

【Yes, all items from all realms are available!】

Lin Mo suddenly felt a bit of an itch. “Then do you have Huazi?”

【Host, this is the cultivation world. Are you planning to smoke?】

Before transmigrating, he used to go through a pack of Huazi a day.

After crossing over, he had lost the addiction.

Listening to the soft, seductive moans drifting from the room behind him, Lin Mo felt that if he lit a cigarette right now, the atmosphere would be just right.

【Choosing a specific item type still costs 200 Regret Points per draw. Please consider carefully. However, I must remind the host that smoking is harmful to health!】

Alright, forget it. No smoking.

‘Then I’ll choose a specific item type—give me a lollipop.’

【Ding! 200 Regret Points consumed. The host has obtained a bag of “Alpenliebe” assorted fruit-flavored lollipops.】

Three hours later, Xie Zhi’an stepped out of the room.

Just one look at her, and Lin Mo knew that the effects of the drug had completely worn off.

Retracting his gaze, he continued savoring the lollipop he had drawn from the system.

“Don’t you have anything to say to me?” Xie Zhi’an asked.

“I’ve said everything I needed to say.” Lin Mo replied.

Xie Zhi’an naturally understood what he meant, but she continued, “You’re not angry that we acted on our own?”

“What’s done is done. What’s the point of blaming you now?” Lin Mo said truthfully. “If it weren’t for your senior brother leading the group, I wouldn’t have cared what happened to you all.”

“I’ve already handled the ghostly disturbances in Daliang City. Once they come out, we’ll return to the sect immediately.”

Lin Mo didn’t want to stay a moment longer!

Xie Zhi’an hesitated but ultimately chose to stand quietly beside him and wait.

The next to emerge was Xie Zhiqu. Her sister had already told her everything that had happened while she was dazed.

Facing Lin Mo now, she was completely flustered.

Seeing her face still flushed, Lin Mo asked, “The drug’s effects haven’t worn off yet?”

“They have!”

“Then why is your face still so red?”

“I’m embarrassed!”

Lin Mo thought for a moment and roughly understood the situation.

He glanced at Xie Zhiqu, who was peeking at him from behind Xie Zhi’an, and said, “I only delivered the medicine. I didn’t see anything else.”

Xie Zhiqu blushed even more, lowered her head, and whispered, “S-Senior Brother… do you think I’m weird?”

Lin Mo frowned. “What’s weird?”

“My… my body…” Xie Zhiqu’s voice was barely audible.

“I already told you, I didn’t see anything. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your sister!” Lin Mo defended himself.

Xie Zhi’an shook her head. “I wasn’t fully conscious at the time either.”

Hey, hey, hey, that dagger was practically at my throat back then!

And you’re saying you weren’t conscious?

Lin Mo was speechless. “Don’t self-destruct, alright? I’m really not interested in your secrets.”

Even though he said that, Xie Zhiqu had already convinced herself that Lin Mo knew.

From that day on, every time she saw Lin Mo, her face would turn red.

“Mm~” Qu Ruyan stretched lazily as she walked out the door. “Good morning, everyone!”

“Huh? Where is this place?” She tilted her head in confusion, unfamiliar with the surroundings.

Lin Mo was internally exhausted. This girl probably hadn’t even realized what had happened to her yet.

Her natural airheadedness had reached a level of complete obliviousness.

“One, two, three…” Qu Ruyan counted the people in front of her and asked, “Where’s Xia Xia?”

Lin Mo pointed to the room behind him. “Inside.”

As soon as he finished speaking, another round of heated, breathy sounds came from the room.

“Eh? What’s Xia Xia doing in there? Why does she sound like she’s suffering?”

“Don’t—”

Before Lin Mo could stop her, Qu Ruyan had already pushed the door open.

Inside, Xia He sat on the floor in a duck-like position, her hands squeezed between her legs, still holding the fruit Lin Mo had tossed her before leaving.

When the door swung open, her flushed face twisted from enjoyment to sheer horror…

“Xia Xia, what are you doing?” Qu Ruyan asked innocently, completely clueless about the situation.

Seeing the cucumber in Xia He’s hands, her eyes lit up. “Oh! You’re not eating it, Xia Xia?”

Still in shock from the sudden intrusion, Xia He was too dazed to react, and in the next moment, the cucumber was snatched away by Qu Ruyan.

“If you’re not eating it, I will!”

Just as Qu Ruyan was about to take a bite—

“Idiot! That cucumber is NOT for eating!”

Lin Mo reacted instantly, slapping the cucumber away before swiftly grabbing Qu Ruyan and dashing out of the room. As he exited, he even made sure to shut the door behind him.

From inside the room came Xia He’s horrified scream.

Still unaware of what had just happened, Qu Ruyan looked confused. “Why is Xia Xia screaming like that? And so miserably too? Senior Brother, should we go check on her?”

She then pouted. “Also, why wouldn’t you let me eat the cucumber?”

How the hell was he supposed to explain this?!

Seeing Qu Ruyan still looking at him with an innocent, curious expression, about to ask more questions, Lin Mo swiftly unwrapped a lollipop and shoved it into her mouth.

“Mmm! So sweet!” Qu Ruyan’s eyes sparkled with pure happiness.

“I-I’ve never had such delicious candy before!” she exclaimed excitedly.

“Just eat and stop talking,” Lin Mo ordered.

“Senior Brother, didn’t you give Xia He the antidote?” Xie Zhi’an asked, already having an idea of what had happened.

Xie Zhiqu, on the other hand, understood exactly what Xia He had been doing and immediately covered her eyes.

“Nope,” Lin Mo replied indifferently. “There were only three doses, and you guys used them all.”

Among everyone present, only Qu Ruyan was still completely oblivious.

The fact that Xia He hadn’t received the antidote was something even Xie Zhi’an and Xie Zhiqu didn’t know how to address, so they tacitly chose to remain silent.

Another hour passed before Xia He finally pushed the door open.

She emerged, nearly collapsing against the wall for support.

Her legs were so weak she could barely stand.

She didn’t even have the courage to look at Lin Mo.

First, she felt guilty about what she had done.

Second, she was utterly ashamed.

She still remembered the moment the drug had taken effect—

Begging Lin Mo desperately, stripping off her clothes, only to be coldly rejected.

And then, when the door had been thrown open… she had been seen in that state.

She wanted to dig a hole and bury herself alive on the spot.

What made it worse was—before leaving, Lin Mo had tossed her a cucumber!

That was worse than killing her!

Her dignity, her pride—completely shattered by this man.

At this point, she had already resigned herself to being humiliated.

Rather than wait for Lin Mo to mock her, she chose to take the initiative.

“Just do it. Humiliate me all you want…”

Lin Mo looked at the girl in front of him—eyes squeezed shut, face flushed, an expression of shame and… expectation?!

He instinctively took a step back.

Holy hell.

This girl was completely broken!
