Following Elder Tian telling Gong Bo how he had been knocked out at the teashop, the other party's interest had increased, as he wondered just what had happened to Elder Tian after he had been knocked out.
"Elder Gong… Do I really need to-"
"Yes! You just got to the interesting part! How can you think of stopping here? How will I even know if you got away safely if you stop now?"
Hearing the words of his senior the moment he tried to stop the story, as it was getting to the more uncomfortable part, Elder Tian could only smile wryly before reluctantly beginning to talk about what had happened after he had been knock out could inside the small teahouse…
…
Following the fact that he had been knocked out by the sleep-inducing potion that had been secretly added to his tea, Elder Tian soon woke up.
However, he was no longer inside the small teashop. Instead, he was inside some kind of underground dungeon.
"Wh-where is this…?" Looking around himself after fully waking up, Elder Tian saw several dried-up corpses next to him. All of them elderly men like himself.
"J-just what on earth happened here!?"
Seeing the corpses next to him, Elder Tian could not help but shiver,
If he had not been able to wake up in time, Elder Tian could easily see how he would end up like the dried-up corpses all around him, as he realized the small anti poison needle that he always carried around had ended up saving his life!
Creak-!
Someone is coming!
Hearing the creaking sound of a door located at the other end of the dungeon, Elder Tian quickly decided to pretend he was still asleep. The reason for this being the fact that he had found out most of his strength was in a weakened state. Requiring at least a few minutes for him to recover his strength back to what it normally was.
All in all, in his current state, Elder Tian was no stronger than some young kids who had just entered the Qi Condensation Realm a few days ago…
"Ah~ I can finally savour this little cutie~"
Hearing the familiar female voice, Elder Tian felt a shiver run down his spine listening to her footsteps slowly moving closer and closer to where he was pretending to still be knocked out cold by the sleep-inducing potion.
Rustle~
Suddenly, the footsteps came to an end, as Elder Tian heard the older woman searching around for something.
After close to two minutes passed with the older woman searching for something, Elder Tian managed to recover his strength back to the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, while still needing another minute to recover his strength back up to the Peak of the Core Formation Realm again…
It was also at this moment that Elder Tian realized the older woman was only a single step away from the Nascent Soul Realm! She was stronger than him. After realizing this, Elder Tian knew very well that he would have to take the other party by surprise if he wanted to escape. Given the fact that the older woman was stronger than him!
The difference between someone at the Peak of the Core Formation Realm and someone only a single step away from the Nascent Soul Realm was extremely large. Even if both of them were still in the same realm.
Especially so given that Elder Tian was an Alchemist with far less combat strength compared to someone who solely focused on cultivation…
"Ah! Here it is~"
Hearing the voice of the older woman once again, Elder Tian focused on recovering his strength. Even as he felt the older woman come over towards him after she had found the thing she was searching for.
"Hehe~ Little cutie~"
Suddenly feeling the older woman beginning to rip apart the clothes he was wearing, while sensually running her hands through his hair and beard, Elder Tian tried his best to stop himself from jumping up and fighting the old woman to death.
"Hah… I will make sure… Hah… to squeeze all your life essence… Hah… out of you~ Hehe~"
I can't take this anymore!
Feeling the older woman's heavy breathing along with her beginning to move her hands further downwards, Elder Tian couldn't hold himself back any longer, as he directly launched an attack towards the older woman who had already begun ripping apart his pants.
Before the older woman even had the time to react to Elder Tian suddenly launching an all-out attack. Three small needles appeared in each of his hands before piercing into the older woman.
"Little cutie!? What is this!?"
Whoosh!
Seeing the older woman with a long whip in one hand suddenly realize that she had been poisoned and was unable to move after being pierced by a total of six poisonous needles that had been hidden in Elder Tian's sleeves, Elder Tian launched a second attack filled with killing intent towards the older woman.
Bang!
Easily killing the now unmoving target!
Thump~
"What was that!?"
"Did something happen, senior sister?"
"Let's go and check what happened!"
Hearing a myriad of voices from the entrance that the older woman had entered from, Elder Tian didn't dare stay any around any longer. Only glancing once towards the old woman to make sure she was dead before scanning his surroundings for an escape path. Soon spotting a second door a little hidden away in the corner of the underground dungeon.
"Of course, it's an entrance to the sewers…"
Met with the horrible smell the moment he opened the door. Along with the rapidly approaching auras of several Core Formation Realm Experts, Elder Tian didn't have time to hesitate as he entered the sewers.
…
"… After that I managed to make my way back towards the alchemy competition, where I managed to meet the other elders."
Finished telling Gong Bo what had happened, Elder Tian smiled awkwardly before looking away.
"I-I see, I never imagined for you to encounter a demonic cultivator proficient in sucking out other people's life force, we will have to inform the guards about this before we leave… You can go back for now."
Barely able to hold himself back from laughing after hearing how an old woman had nearly managed to take advantage of Elder Tian. Even referring to him as her little cutie, Gong Bo quickly sent him out of his room while trying to keep a serious and understanding look on his face the entire time.
"Thank you, Elder Gong! I hope you won't talk about this to the other elders, as it's quite embarrassing for me to get take advantage of like that…"
"No worries! Y-your secret is safe with me!"
Nodding his head, Gong Bo reassured Elder Tian one last time before the other party soon showed a relieved expression before leaving the room.
"Haha, I never imagined something like that to happen to Elder Tian!" Unable to stop himself from laughing the moment the other party had left, Gong Bo soon calmed down again before leaving the manor to inform some of the guards about what happened.
Normally a female demonic cultivator focused on sucking the life essence out of male cultivators, would focus on the younger ones instead of the older ones…
However, Elder Tian had been unlucky enough to encounter one with a quite… Unique taste…
