The enchanting voice made whoever heard it feel numb, but to Zhou Heng, it was practically a demon’s whisper.
His hands and legs were cold, as if he had just fallen into an ice pit.
Without a second thought, he immediately made a run for it.
He unleashed his body’s power to apply Eight Flying Grass Steps—a lightness skill—frantically and fled!
Chen Hanyu was a seventh-class martial artist at the peak of the class!
An unranked apprentice like him would not stand a chance against her! The gap was too wide! Therefore, it was wiser to flee!
He only managed three to five steps when the strong fragrance of flowers assaulted his senses.
After that, red flower petals blew past him. Then, his mind went blank. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had returned to his original position next to the horse-drawn carriage.
Wang Qingqing was actually Chen Hanyu, a beautiful woman from Red Flower Palace. Like just now, her horse-drawn carriage door was half-covered by the curtain. She looked at Zhou Heng alluringly and spoke softly to him, “Mister, it’s late at night and misty. The cold wind will give you a cold. Why don’t you come in for a while and warm yourself?”
Her voice was ridiculously seductive.
She chanted the same suggestive words.
Zhou Heng did not give it any thought. He turned and ran for his life.
Again, he smelled the fragrance of flowers and red petals blowing past him. He only managed a few steps before he returned and was by the side of the horse-drawn carriage again. The image of Chen Hanyu’s alluring face appeared before his sight yet again.
“Mister, it’s late at night and misty. The cold wind will give you a cold. Why don’t you come in for a while and warm yourself?”
The same words again!
‘Are you a recorder?!’
Zhou Heng felt goosebumps all over his skin. He had never heard of such a bizarre method, and thus, he was unsure how to neutralize this. This might have exceeded the scope of the lower three classes of martial arts!
‘Could an expert at the peak of the seventh-class learn secret sixth-class martial arts?’
“What do you want?!” Zhou Heng stared at Chen Hanyu who sat inside the horse-drawn carriage and asked with a growl.
Since he could not escape, he had better seek clarification from her and look for opportunities to get himself out.
“Aren’t you surprised to see my change?” Chen Hanyu’s pretty face was flushed with redness. Her eyes were misty. She smiled suggestively, “Or you already know who I am?”
She gently lifted the horse-drawn carriage curtain, revealing a soft and delicate figure. It was not known since when she had actually changed her clothes from the original tight dress into a thin gauze dress, thus only partially hiding her beautiful body.
With such a beautiful face and gorgeous body, every move she made tugged at men’s heartstrings easily. It would be hard for them to resist their deepest desires, and they would want to recklessly pounce on her.
Meanwhile, Zhou Heng subconsciously took a step backward and turned his head so as not to look at Chen Hanyu. He said, “You haven’t answered my question.”
“Do I still need to answer your question?” Chen Hanyu laughed seductively, “Hehe! Can’t you see what I want to do with you?”
After that, she exhaled gently at Zhou Heng.
It was a cloud of thick red smoke that contained a rich floral fragrance. It was refreshing, charming and intoxicating, causing one to fall into a stupor and not want to wake up from it.
Even though Zhou Heng had a strong will and tough spirit, still, under the influence of the red smoke, he started to feel dizzy. Lust started to surge at his groin again, and strange emotions rose once more.
“Chen Hanyu is applying Seventh-Class Mind Seduction and Desire Cultivation Technique to deliver a mind attack upon you. Your mental toughness counteracted some of the effects. The level of proficiency for Mind Seduction and Desire Cultivation Technique increased by 0.001.”
“Chen Hanyu is applying Seventh-Class Mind Seduction and Desire Cultivation Technique to deliver a mind attack upon you. Your mental toughness counteracted some of the effects. The level of proficiency for Mind Seduction and Desire Cultivation Technique increased by 0.001.”
The notifications kept popping up inside Zhou Heng’s mind. Despite that, they could not snap him out of his stupor.
This time, the effects of the red smoke exhaled from Chen Hanyu were stronger than the previous one, which had appeared subtly. Zhou Heng could not even last through a few breaths of them, and he felt that his mind was about to become completely blurry, and he was about to lose his sense of self.
Just then, he recalled the status effect which he had previously drawn out from the Lucky Bag. It was the status that would allow him to have a clear mind with little desires. He had treated that status effect as a sleeping pill!

‘Perhaps this would be helpful!’
As he thought of this, Zhou Heng used the last of his lucidity to activate the status effect of having a clear mind with little desires.
That familiar sense of coolness swept through his whole body in a blink. He was instantly awakened from the state of delirium and became wholly conscious.
At that moment, no matter how gorgeous, alluring, and seductive Chen Hanyu was, Zhou Heng only saw her as a skeleton.
The moment his mind became clear, he immediately made up his mind to flee. Almost immediately, he smelled the fragrance of the flower and saw petals again.
This time, he was not affected in any way. He did not even feel the slightest bit of dizziness, nor did he return to the horse-drawn carriage inexplicably. He continued to run for his life.
Chen Hanyu remained still and looked at the direction where Zhou Heng had bolted. Her gaze was filled with consternation, and her facial expressions had changed from the originally flirtatious look to utter shock.
‘How could he actually shake off the effects of my Mind Seduction and Desire Cultivation Technique?! Even though he was naturally mentally tough, how could he resist such great temptation offered to him?!’
Zhou Heng’s sudden return to consciousness and escape was a huge shock to her perception. She found it incredulous.
‘How could an unranked apprentice actually get rid of my control?!
‘That’s truly unbelievable!’
However, she did not grow furious because of this. Instead, she enjoyed it. Her facial expression grew charming again, and her smile grew even more intense. With a flick of her finger, she said to the six guards next to her, “Go and get that cutie pie for me!”
“Got it!”
“Got it!”
The six guards nodded. But they did not take immediate action. Instead, they twisted their necks. Their heads flew up, dragging their bloody spines with them. Their months split open, showing densely sharp teeth. They rushed after Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng was still an unranked apprentice. Although he had given his all to flee for his life, he was still not very fast. Very soon, he felt strong wind blow from behind him. He turned his head and saw six heads flying toward him, all with bloody spines snaking behind them!
‘So, Sun Zhengpin turned into an evil creature all because of Chen Hanyu!’
In the dark of the night, amid the empty wilderness, normal people would have passed out on the spot at such a horrendous sight.
However, Zhou Heng was surprisingly calm under the status effect of a clear mind with little desires. He estimated his own speed as well as the flight speed of those six heads and was convinced that if he did not accelerate, they would catch him.
Fortunately, during the escape just now, his level of proficiency for Eight Flying Grass Steps was on the verge of reaching the peak of intermediate level and would soon advance to high level.
With that, he would be even faster, and he may get away from these heads.
Finally, after a series of notifications prompted, Zhou Heng’s level of proficiency for Eight Flying Grass Steps had increased to high level!
His speed instantly accelerated, and he distanced himself further from those six heads.
He was going to shake them off soon!
Before he even had the time to rejoice for this, he saw a horse-drawn carriage pulling up in front of him. Chen Hanyu stood there as if she had been waiting for his arrival.
Zhou Heng was instantly dumbfounded.
‘How’s that possible?!
‘This was clearly not where it was just now. How did she get here?!
‘Teleport?!
‘A seventh-class martial artist is able to perform this technique?!
‘That’s impossible!’
Immediately after, the nightmarish voice drifted into Zhou Heng’s ears once more.
“Mister, it’s late at night and misty. The cold wind will give you a cold. Why don’t you come in for a while and warm yourself?”
It was still the same charming and seductive phrase.
Chen Hanyu was still swaying her gorgeous body gently.
“Warm myself, my foot! Just die!”
Zhou Heng was enraged!
Just then, the time for the status effect of possessing a clear mind with little desires was up. He simply pulled out the steel saber in his hand and, just like how a mighty man would split mountains, he dashed toward Chen Hanyu and slashed at her head!
