The yellow-haired man indeed cut through Ye Lan's restraints with his blade and removed the gag from her mouth. Ye Lan flipped over and landed on the ground, but her legs were so weak and numb she could barely stand.
"You, you don't come over~" Ye Lan's lips parted slightly, her cheeks flushed a deep crimson, radiant as a sunset.
Initially, Ye Lan still had the strength to cover the tear in her clothes at the neck. She crouched on the cold ground, her whole body tingling, a consuming itch that gnawed at her reason.
"Mmm!~" Shen Lanni exerted her strength, but the restraints didn't loosen; instead, they tightened!
The yellow-haired man was quite skilled. Seeing the drug taking effect, he wasn't in a hurry. He let Ye Lan tease him as much as she wanted, remaining still, as if waiting for the final moment when Ye Lan would be completely under the drug's control.
"Goddess, don't rush, we have plenty of time."
Ye Lan's reason seemed to collapse the instant the yellow-haired man whispered this into her ear. Her breathing grew heavy, her face flushed, and her hands clutched the hem of her clothes, as if she were about to surrender.
"Mmm!~"
Shen Lanni's body was already aching from the restraints. Seeing the situation, she couldn't contain her rage, thinking: Ren Yuanhao, you scoundrel, if you appeared now, even if you were with that little girl Ye Lan, I wouldn't object anymore!
Perhaps Shen Lanni's words reached Ren Yuanhao's ears. Suddenly, the sound of a sharp blade cutting through metal was heard, and a blinding light penetrated from outside the tightly shut metal door!
The yellow-haired man flinched, almost rolling off his chair. Immediately, the metal door emitted another ear-piercing cutting sound, and an X-shaped gap suddenly appeared.
Bang!
The metal door was kicked into four pieces by the newcomer. A tall, dark figure stood outside the door like a wolf, a long sword in hand, emitting a chilling light that seemed eager to devour, as if alive.
Who else could it be but Ren Yuanhao!
"You, you're that kid surnamed Ren?"
The yellow-haired man looked incredulously at the thick door panel, now split into four pieces, thinking: This is tungsten steel, for crying out loud. What kind of perverted weapon is in this kid's hand to slice through it so effortlessly!
Perhaps Ye Lan smelled Ren Yuanhao's scent. She stumbled towards the man she had long admired. Ren Yuanhao saw her tattered clothes and then looked coldly at the yellow-haired man, understanding something immediately. His eyes flickered with a chilling, fierce glint more terrifying than the blade "Cun Xue."
"You did this?" Ren Yuanhao's voice was like ten thousand years of ice. Though his expression was blank, it made the yellow-haired man tremble with fear.
This kind of aura was something the yellow-haired man had only seen in one person. And that person was not in Lionheart Tower right now. Of course, if he were here, how could this man in front of him be so arrogant? He thought this, and his innate survival instinct urged him to escape into the inner room, but in reality, his feet felt as if they were filled with lead; he couldn't move at all.
Facing a man who seemed like a god of slaughter, how dared he answer? He glanced sideways at the alarm not far from his body. With just a few steps, he could touch it with a flick of his hand, but those few steps felt as vast as the distance between heaven and earth.
"Are you deaf or mute? I'll ask you again, did you do this?"
Ren Yuanhao raised "Cun Xue," the blade's light casting an invisible wall of force. The yellow-haired man panicked and stammered a nod.
"Good. For committing such beastly acts, you must have prepared yourself for death." Ren Yuanhao stepped forward with heavy strides, his long sword scraping against the wall with a clashing sound. He said slowly, "I can tolerate whatever you do to me, but to use these women as leverage, and even to insult them, I'm sorry. Even if I have nowhere to be buried, I, Ren Yuanhao, will grind you into ashes!"
Ren Yuanhao's voice was like thunder, deafening. The yellow-haired man slumped in his chair, the lewdness in his eyes replaced by a deathly pallor.
But as he looked at Ye Lan crawling slowly towards Ren Yuanhao, he suddenly let out a sinister laugh, "Hahahaha, Ren, don't get too pleased. Ye Lan is poisoned. If she doesn't have a man within 12 hours, she'll die horribly. And you, you'll never escape this Lionheart Tower. Ye Lan will become someone's plaything!"
"Stop talking!"
Ren Yuanhao swept his sword through the air. With a swift stroke, a gush of blood erupted from the yellow-haired man's neck, and his head, like a rolling soccer ball, thudded to the ground, his face still frozen in that lewd, cold smile.
"Mmm~!"
"Mmm~!"
Shen Lanni and Yang Lingxue cried out simultaneously. Ren Yuanhao lunged forward with his sword and immediately cut their restraints, rescuing them. He then administered the remaining two Six Qi Boosting Blood Pills to them. Just then, Ye Lan lunged at Ren Yuanhao from behind!
"Ye Lan, Ye Lan! Wake up." Ren Yuanhao finally turned his head, but Ye Lan's fiery lips were already pressed against him, appearing as though she was about to take him right there.
"Hey, hey! Help me out here!"
Ren Yuanhao mumbled incoherently. The two women knew it was no place to linger. Once their strength returned, they carefully separated Ye Lan and Ren Yuanhao.
"It seems this yellow-haired man was telling the truth."
Ren Yuanhao regretted not controlling his killing intent, which prevented him from extracting information about the antidote. He searched the yellow-haired man's body again, but found nothing.
