A Tale of Two Extremes: Ice and Fire

Li Wei stood by the window, watching the rope sliding down rapidly disappear into the darkness at the base of the building; he didn't give chase.

He knew he wouldn't be able to catch up.

Upgrading God-tier Combat Arts to the intermediate level had only given him the qualification to confront Big Donkey Brother head-on.

Wanting to keep the other party there when they were hell-bent on escaping was nothing more than a pipe dream.

That guy was like a venomous snake that had spent years steeped in darkness—cunning, lethal, and possessing a terrifyingly keen sense of danger.

The wounds on his chest and abdomen were like two leaking valves; with every heartbeat, they carried away his body temperature and strength.

The dizziness brought on by blood loss entwined with his nerves, and his vision began to double.

Li Wei didn't hesitate for a moment. He pressed his left fingers together like a blade and, with a peculiar and precise rhythm, quickly tapped several major acupoints around his wounds.

This was a technique from God-Level Acupuncture.

Without silver needles, he could only rely on precise control over his muscles and nerves through his fingers to forcibly constrict the blood vessels and slow down the loss of blood.

A numb sensation radiated from where his fingertips had tapped. The burning, searing pain at the wounds actually lessened a bit, and the rate of bleeding slowed down visibly to the naked eye.

Only after finishing this did he slowly turn around and look toward the center of the hall.

The entire world seemed to lose its sound at this moment.

All that remained was that graceful figure hanging from the ceiling beam.

Qin Bing.

The dark green police uniform, torn open, hung messily on her body. Rather than detracting from her beauty, it added a heart-stopping sense of shattered fragility.

Her arms, tied behind her back, made that astonishing pair on her chest appear even fuller.

As she breathed rapidly and heavily, they rose and fell violently, as if they might break free from the constraint of that last button at any moment.

And what made one's blood boil the most were those long legs with proportions far beyond ordinary people.

They extended all the way to her ankles, disappearing into a pair of black high heels with a bizarre luster that shouldn't have belonged to her.

With her toes touching the ground, the tensed leg muscles traced a perfect arc full of power and temptation.

Her cheeks were flushed with an unnatural hue.

Those phoenix eyes, which were usually like frozen snowy plains...

...were now shimmering with watery light, clouded by a thick layer of confusion and pain that couldn't be dispersed.

Sweat soaked her sideburns, and a few strands of black hair stuck to her smooth forehead.

Her lips were bitten until they were bloody, yet she still couldn't suppress a kitten-like whimper.

To any normal man, this sight was a visual feast sufficient to make one's reason evaporate instantly.

Li Wei's heart felt as if it had been thrown into an abyss of ice and fire.

Anger, heartache, and a most primitive heat that almost crushed his will.

He walked over step by step, his leather shoes making a crisp "clack, clack" sound on the concrete floor.

Hearing the footsteps, Qin Bing's body trembled violently.

She seemed to want to turn her head, but she didn't even have that much strength left. She could only bury her face deeper, letting out meaningless sobs from her throat.

"Don't... don't come over..."

Her voice was broken, raspy, and filled with shame, indignation, and despair.

Li Wei didn't stop.

He came before Qin Bing, reached out, grasped that cold and sharp Butterfly Knife, and slashed with a backhand.

"Swish!"

The rough rope binding Qin Bing's wrists snapped at the touch.

Losing her only point of support, Qin Bing's body suddenly went limp, and she fell straight forward.

Li Wei subconsciously opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace.

A bosom full of soft, fragrant jade.

A scorching breath carrying sweat and a woman's unique fragrance instantly enveloped him.

The delicate body in his arms was astonishingly hot, like a ball of burning fire.

Li Wei let out a muffled groan. Because of this sudden impact, a piercing pain shot through the wounds on his abdomen and chest once again.

But this bit of pain seemed insignificant compared to the impact brought by the body in his arms.

Qin Bing collapsed in his arms, her whole being as if she had lost her bones, limp as mud.

Her head rested weakly on his shoulder, and her scorching breath sprayed onto his neck puff by puff, bringing a scalp-numbing itch.

After losing the resistance of her will, the effects of the "instinct" drug were like a beast breaking out of its cage, completely taking over this perfect body.

Qin Bing's hands clawed unconsciously at Li Wei's back, as if seeking something.

Her body writhed restlessly in his arms.

Like a fish out of water, she yearned for the nourishment of sweet rain.

"Hot... so hot..."

Her red lips opened and closed unconsciously, breathing out broken syllables.

"I feel so uncomfortable..."

Li Wei's body instantly froze.

He could clearly feel the astonishing softness of her chest through two thin layers of clothing.

He could even feel her long legs in high heels unconsciously wrapping around his waist.

At this moment, his reason was tottering.

He remembered the cold mockery and sarcasm this woman usually directed at him.

He remembered her gaze that was always high and mighty, as if he were some kind of filth.

But now, this woman who was proud to her very bones was like a submissive cat, at his mercy in his arms.

A thought mixed with a desire for conquest and dark pleasure grew wildly in the depths of his heart.

[Ding! host detected in deep contact with the 95-point beauty 'Qin Bing'. Current target favorability: 0 (Loathing), but body desire level: 98 (Extreme Craving).]

[Triggered special status: Ice and Fire Double Heavens.]

[Complete the physical and mental conquest of the target Qin Bing to obtain an ultra-rare blind box reward and a chance to unlock a new system module.]

The system's prompt sounded in Li Wei's mind like the devil's whisper.

He looked down at that face in his arms, which had become increasingly seductive due to the drug's effects.

Seeing those eyes that had completely lost focus, leaving only primitive desire, his Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably.

Qin Bing seemed to feel the aggression in his gaze, and her body's reaction became even more intense.

She tilted her head back, and those beautifully lined lips that were usually tightly pursed opened slightly, panting rapidly and exhaling a breath as fragrant as orchids.

"Hot... I'm so hot..."

She seemed to be talking in her sleep, yet also seemed to be pleading.

Li Wei's breathing also became heavy.
