Chapter 48: The Poisonous Woman

Chapter 48: The Poisonous Woman

"What is happening with me? Is my luck really so bad today?!"

Ye Liang didn't understand what was happening with him.

Whenever he tried to get back on the Path that led to the inheritance, he came across beasts that started chasing after him.

He would lose the beasts and try to go back, but every time he would come across more beasts. The fog made things even worse for him.

No matter which route he took, he found beasts waiting for him.

Even if he climbed on the trees and traveled through the branches, he found more beasts lurking, ready to pounce on him.

He felt as if there was a mysterious force trying to stop him, no matter what.

Still, he didn't want to give up on the ancient inheritance. It wasn't often that one came across them.

.....

[Option One: Show your mercy to the person who is in need of Urgent Help. Give her the Antidote and heal her.

Reward: Thread of Wedding (Unique Tier)]

[Option Two: The woman attacked you first. A Conqueror must never let his enemies go. Kill her.

Reward: Robe of Daoist (High Tier)]

[Option Three: The woman is affected by a strange Poison. But she also attacked you, hence you don't want to heal her.

Make a trade with her. Give her the Antidote in exchange for her Inheritance.

Reward: Bloodline of an unknown Hero (Unknown)]

[Option Four: You find the woman beautiful and you don't want to heal her poison. Let the poison spread until she can't control herself. Heal her with your body.

Reward: Cultivation Realm +1]

The woman was resisting her urges, even as her face turned red.

With that, he could protect himself better. He could pass off as a Hero when in the Southern Continent and pass off as a cultivator when in the Eastern.

Even if the unknown Bloodline was the weakest and most insignificant, it was still very useful for him to keep his identity hidden in the trip that was to come.

His eyes were focused on the third option, all because of the reward. He didn't think about anything else.

What was the point of sleeping with the woman here when Celeste was here? What was the point of killing the woman? What was the point of giving her the Antidote for free?

Just for his reward, he started justifying his decision.

He told the system that he was going to select the third option.

[You have selected the third option]

[Please complete the form to receive the reward]

As soon as Eren finished selecting the option, he felt hands around his wrist.

Something grabbed the corner of his pants, trying to pull them down.

"What the..." Eren looked down, noticing the woman's face who was on her knees, too close to him.

He placed his hand on the woman's shoulder to push her back.

[Five Minutes are over]

[The Pendant of Strength have stopped working]

[Uses Left: Two]

"Now?!" Eren looked at the notification.

Before he could even react, he was pushed down by the woman who came closer to him, planting her lips on his lips.

"Mmmm-" Eren tried to push the woman back, but without the pendant, his strength was insignificant compared to the woman who started biting on his lips like crazy.

'This Psychopath! Get off me!'

Eren wanted to say a lot of things, but his mouth was kept closed by the woman. Her lips sucked on his lips greedily as if she had completely lost her thought processes.
