Once soone gets hit with Spring Poison, unbearable heat burns through their body.
The only way to cure this toxin is brutal - basically nothing works except having sex.
If the Spring Poison doesn't get cleared fast, it could ss up your body for good.
What I couldn't wrap my head around was why I'd catch this poison now. And who the hell did this?
"Weird." Looking at Violet Seth clinging to , I couldn't help but frown.
"Maybe Victor and his crew poisoned her?"
After thinking it through, that was the only thing that made sense.
They probably poisoned Violet Seth way earlier, just waited for the right mont to let it hit.
Right now, Violet Seth was practically tearing her clothes off.
Her delicate fingers kept running over my body.
Being a young guy with normal urges, staying cool around this kind of temptation wasn't easy.
"I'm burning up... Please help ..."
Violet Seth pressed her face closer to mine, opened her mouth and went for my lips.
At that crucial mont, I shoved Violet Seth away.
I jumped straight into the snow, using the freezing cold to clear my head.
After a few minutes, I crawled out of the snow.
Looking at Violet Seth in pain, I shook my head, "Sorry. I can't betray Mabel."
Any thought I had about betraying Mabel Sean felt wrong to her.
"I'm so hot... please save ..." Violet Seth begged desperately, grabbing onto my leg.
I took a deep breath and slapped Violet Seth's back hard with my palm.
Violet Seth imdiately knocked out, her consciousness gone.
Her body was still fighting the toxin.
Her normally pale skin now looked dark red.
I shook my head, "Sorry. If you can't make it, I'll have to put you out of your misery."
If anyone else heard this, they'd definitely think I was heartless.
But after this long cultivation path, my heart had gotten tough. Besides Mabel Sean, I could live without everything else.
Violet Seth lay on the ground while I quietly stayed with her.
After who knows how long, Violet Seth slowly woke up.
The toxin in her body was already gone, but the mont she opened her eyes, she coughed up fresh blood, looking incredibly weak.
"You're up." I glanced at her, speaking flatly.
Even though Violet Seth got hit by the Spring Poison, she clearly rembered everything before passing out.
So in her eyes, there was clear resentnt toward .
"You'd rather watch die than help ? Don't tell I'm ugly?" Violet Seth said angrily.
I shook my head, "Has nothing to do with looks. I'm just not into you."
"You!" Violet Seth pointed at and coughed up more fresh blood, her face getting paler.
Obviously, this was the aftereffect from the Spring Poison.
"Don't bla for this. Bla whoever poisoned you," I said, like so emotionless robot.
Violet Seth glared hard at , "Mason Raymond, you're worse than an animal!"
I spread my hands, "I'll ask the Pavilion Master to help clear the toxins from you."
Then I got up from the ground, "Let's go. Take out of here."
Even though Violet Seth held a grudge against , she still led away from this freezing place.
After we got to the airport, we bought plane tickets and got ready to head back to Capital City.
During the trip, I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes to rest.
Violet Seth couldn't help saying, "Don't you have any interest in at all?"
"None at all." I answered without hesitation.
"You!" Violet Seth got pissed imdiately.
For so reason, the more I acted like this, the more she felt like she couldn't give up.
On the flip side, if I had lusted after her body, she would've felt disgusted.
People really are contradictory.
...
The plane flew through the sky and soon returned to Capital City.
My trip only took three days, and I got back to Capital City just in ti for New Year's.
"You can head to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion first." I glanced at Violet Seth.
"Once you get to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, drop my na. The Pavilion Master will help you."
Violet Seth snorted and said, "Now you're playing the good guy."
I didn't have ti to argue with her. I quickly explained a few things, then headed straight for Ignacio Richard's house.
It was New Year's Eve and fireworks kept going off here and there.
But Ignacio Richard's front door looked empty and dark.
Besides his off-road vehicle, there was basically nothing else - a stark contrast to the festive mood outside.
When I showed up, Ignacio Richard was wearing a military coat, smoking by the window.
He was staring outside, deep in thought.
"Commander Richard, why are you spending New Year's alone?" I couldn't help asking.
Ignacio Richard looked at and instead of answering, he asked, "Why are you here?"
I chuckled, "I'm here to report my work to you."
"Oh?" Ignacio Richard raised an eyebrow.
"In just three days, you're done?"
I shook my head, "That'd be impossible - taking out three organizations. I don't have that kind of ti."
Ignacio Richard's eyes narrowed. He frowned and said, "So what then?"
I pulled out my phone, played a video, and handed it to Ignacio Richard.
"But the Ice Palace has been destroyed," I said.
Looking at what was on the phone, Ignacio Richard couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
"You're saying... the Palace Master of the Ice Palace was about to break into the Martial Saint Realm?" Ignacio Richard stared at the video content, his brows creasing deeply.
"That's right," I nodded.
"I stopped him before he entered the Martial Saint Realm. That counts as good work, right?"
Ignacio Richard ignored my words, his forehead full of worry.
"Soone actually almost broke into the Martial Saint Realm. This isn't good news..." Ignacio Richard muttered quietly.
I dropped down on Ignacio Richard's couch and grinned, "Commander Richard, you should know better than what happens when soone gets power way beyond most people."
Ignacio Richard looked at and asked, "What do you an?"
"If he'd successfully entered the Martial Saint Realm, do you think you could still catch him?" I said.
Ignacio Richard stayed quiet. Just like I pointed out, once the Palace Master of the Ice Palace had entered the Martial Saint Realm, probably no one could control him.
"He won't be the only one entering the Martial Saint Realm," I continued.
"When that ti cos, the Martial Saint of the Capital City Martial Arts Association will show up too. I don't think that's sothing you want to see."
Ignacio Richard set his phone aside. He took a drag of his cigarette and said, "What are you getting at?"
"What I'm getting at is, you should be helping now. Helping enter the Martial Saint Realm as fast as possible to keep them in check." I raised an eyebrow confidently.
