197: Chapter 197 Luo Li's Determination

"President Qin, that Big Black Donkey ran away. Are you two alright?"

Qiao Yingzi called out anxiously from outside the pit.

Seeing shadows flickering at the bottom of the pit, Luo Li hurriedly spoke to stop her: "Don't come down! Ye Yan put a drug inside that severed arm! The entire pit is filled with the residual drug; you absolutely must not come down!"

After saying this, she pulled away from Qin Ge's embrace, sat cross-legged, and adjusted her breathing.

The moment that severed arm exploded, she felt a scorching breath rising spontaneously within her body.

It compelled her thoughts to constantly drift toward carnal matters.

Clearly, that bastard Ye Yan knew he was no match for her and Qin Ge, so he started resorting to underhanded tactics.

Hooo... Luo Li exhaled a heavy breath of clear Qi.

The turbulent azure Protective Aura around her body rippled in circles.

Luo Li felt a sense of relief in her heart.

Fortunately, her Protective Aura was of the cold attribute. Fortunately, she had obtained a Crystal Orchid beforehand, which caused her Realm to soar.

With these factors combined, the effects of the drug not only failed to make her lose her mind, but instead helped her contain the uncontrollable, turbulent cold Qi.

It allowed her to successfully stabilize the Realm she had just achieved!

"Qin Ge, I've contained my cold Qi!"

A quarter of an hour later, Luo Li opened her beautiful eyes, a look of joy in their depths.

It would have been fine if she hadn't opened her eyes, but the moment she did and looked at Qin Ge before her, her face immediately filled with horror.

"How could this be?!" "Your cultivation is deeper than mine, why are you poisoned so severely?!"

Luo Li looked at Qin Ge in terror, only to see that Qin Ge, who had been taking advantage of her earlier, was now collapsed on the ground like a boiled crab.

His whole body was wrapped in flames, and the terrifying high temperature was scorching the surrounding frozen ice crystals, melting them into dripping water.

Qin Ge opened his scarlet eyes and scolded Luo Li coldly: "Go, hurry up and go! Leave this place, don't stay by my side!"

Sss, sss, sss... The ice crystals within a zhang of Qin Ge were all turning into steaming white mist.

One could imagine just how scorching Qin Ge's body temperature was at this moment.

"That drug was meant to incite the fire of masculine energy, and since you possess an extremely masculine constitution, it has made the effect of the drug even more intense!"

Luo Li, who always found excuses for Qin Ge, saw his painful expression at this moment, and a flash of inspiration struck her, finding another reason for Qin Ge that even she couldn't refute.

It was just that Qin Ge needed to maintain his 'paralyzed' state right now; otherwise, he would definitely have given Luo Li a thumbs up and praised her for saying it well!

"Hurry up and go!!!" Qin Ge clenched his fists tightly, his whole body trembling uncontrollably as he roared at Luo Li, "Get out of here!"

"I'm not leaving!" In Luo Li's cold, clear eyes, she looked at the seemingly boiled Qin Ge with unusual determination.

Previously, when her cold Qi was turbulent, Qin Ge had stayed without hesitation. When she overdrawn her life, it was also Qin Ge who used that precious inner core to extend her life.

Qin Ge had done so much for her. Now, he was asking her to turn and leave when he needed help the most. How was this any different from returning kindness with enmity?

Luo Li spread her arms and pulled the scorching Qin Ge tightly into her embrace.

Sss, sss, sss... In just an instant, white mist steamed from the space between their embrace.

The moment Luo Li's fair, jade-like, smooth skin touched Qin Ge, it was scalded red.

"Get lost!" Qin Ge raised his palm and pushed Luo Li away, then rushed out of the pit without looking back.

Qiao Yingzi, standing outside the pit, suddenly saw Qin Ge jump out with scarlet eyes. Her heart trembled in fear, and she asked with a shaking voice, "President Qin, you... what happened to you?"

Qin Ge said nothing; he rolled his eyes back and collapsed to the ground, paralyzed and unconscious once again.

"President Qin!" Qiao Yingzi hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Hiss... So hot! Qiao Yingzi looked at her scalded red arm and gasped.

Luo Li followed closely behind, and seeing the ferocious expression on Qin Ge's face, she hurriedly pulled him into her arms, her heart aching.

Whoosh, whoosh... Rampant cold Qi rose from around Luo Li, freezing her and Qin Ge into an ice sculpture at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But this ice sculpture lasted less than a quarter of an hour before completely melting under the scorching breath radiating from Qin Ge.

"It's no use! Qin Ge's masculine energy is too violent; even I have no way to contain it!"

Luo Li hugged Qin Ge tightly in her arms, completely unaware of the scorching breath burning her skin.

She looked at Qiao Yingzi and said, "Right now, only by finding a woman to unite with Qin Ge can this turbulence of masculine energy be contained!"

Upon hearing this, the heavy stone hanging in Qiao Yingzi's heart immediately landed, though she still maintained a look of panic on the surface: "I'll go find Young Miss Huanhuan. As long as Young Miss Huanhuan comes, President Qin will be fine!"

"There's no time left!!" Luo Li held Qin Ge in her arms and said urgently, "At the current rate of this masculine energy's eruption, in at most a quarter of an hour, Qin Ge will burn up. Even if he doesn't die, he will be crippled by this rampant masculine energy!"

Qiao Yingzi clenched her small fists, gritted her teeth, and said, "I'll do it!" "The great kindness President Qin has shown me—this moment is the time for me to repay that debt!"

Luo Li shook her head. "You can't either. Your cultivation is too weak, and your Protective Aura is also inclined toward being too rigid. If you rashly try to harmonize with Qin Ge, it will only cause the Protective Aura in your body to rampage. Not only will you fail to save Qin Ge, but you will also suffer greatly yourself!"

Qiao Yingzi gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Then we can't just watch President Qin wait here for death, right?" "This won't work, that won't work, we have to try something." "Even if I die, I accept it!"

Qiao Yingzi reached out, wanting to take Qin Ge from Luo Li's arms.

This time, Luo Li held Qin Ge tightly in her arms. There was no more of the helplessness she had felt in front of Ruan Xingrou's apartment, and certainly no intention of letting go or allowing Qiao Yingzi to take Qin Ge away.

Luo Li raised her beautiful eyes, which had turned azure due to fully stimulating her cold-attribute Protective Aura, and stared at Qiao Yingzi, murmuring, "This matter must absolutely not be told to Junior Sister Huanhuan."

"And it must not be told to Qin Ge." "After I resolve the heat poison in his body, I will leave. You will tell him that I was injured while saving him and need to return to the Sect to recuperate! My Revered Master will treat my injuries, so there is no major issue, and he does not need to look for me again."

Qiao Yingzi said with anticipation and trepidation, "Should I help you bear some of it?"

"There is no need for you to intervene."

Luo Li helped the unconscious Qin Ge up, turned back to look at Qiao Yingzi, and said, "Remember the excuse I told you!" After speaking, she hugged Qin Ge and jumped back down into the pit, which was like a frozen world.

"Ding! Daughter of Fortune Luo Li feels it is very hot and experiences fear. Reward Host with 5000 villain points!"

"Ding! Daughter of Fortune Luo Li frowns from the heat and experiences sorrowful resentment. Reward Host with 10000 villain points!"

"Hot! Reward Host with 555 villain points!"

"..." "Hot! Reward Host with 555 * 10 villain points!"
