Su Xiaoqi spat fiercely, cursing inwardly. These silver thieves, it was one thing to use the name of Buddha to interfere with married women.
But to resort to such despicable means, making them cooperate willingly, was truly...
Su Xiaoqi cursed inwardly, but the ladies beside her didn't suspect anything and picked up the bowls to drink.
She knew what was inside and how could she possibly drink it.
So she pretended to be unable to bear the scent of the aphrodisiac, loosened her grip, dropped the bowl, and toppled to the ground.
At this moment, the soporific smoke took effect, and the maids serving behind them also fell to the ground one by one.
Zhang Yu had intended to leave with Su Xiaoqi, but seeing her in this state, she guessed that Su Xiaoqi wanted to get deeper inside to gather evidence and defeat them completely.
So she also swayed and fell down.
"Senior Brother, should we pour another bowl for that benefactor?" A monk, seeing Su Xiaoqi faint too early, couldn't help but feel regret.
Master Kongshan smiled with a wicked grin, "No need, no need. Amitabha, perhaps this is destiny."
He felt that for a girl as dignified and gentle as her to take something like Epimedium would be a desecration.
However, it was not good to not give her a bowl when others were given one, as it might arouse suspicion.
But fortunately, she fainted too early.
He still hoped that when he dealt with her, she could maintain her true self, as that would be more enjoyable.
Seeing that everyone had fallen to the ground, and some had already begun to succumb to the effects of the drug, the monks following Kongshan grinned and casually picked one person, dragging them to the side and beginning their debauchery.
Zhang Yu, who was feigning unconsciousness, was extremely worried, fearing that her mistress would also fall victim to their vile acts.
But seeing that her mistress was not moving, she dared not move carelessly, lest she ruin her mistress's plans.
The reason Su Xiaoqi did not move was that she realized the monk Kongshan in front of her was not just a lecherous monk.
He was also a highly skilled martial monk.
Looking at the muscles on his arms and the posture of his stance when he walked, she could tell his skills were formidable.
Perhaps even more formidable than Zhang Yu's.
Therefore, direct confrontation was impossible; she could only resort to cunning.
She could tell that Kongshan had a particular interest in her and would certainly not allow anyone else to touch her first.
That was her opportunity.
As expected, after Kongshan chased away an indiscreet subordinate, he walked towards Su Xiaoqi.
He knelt down and examined Su Xiaoqi, who had her eyes closed.
He thought to himself, "Today is truly my lucky day, to encounter such a beautiful and alluring woman. I wonder whose wife she is; that husband must be blessed."
With this thought, Kongshan's hand approached Su Xiaoqi.
Su Xiaoqi felt it, and her heart clenched tightly.
She was so nervous that her teeth almost chattered. To avoid making a sound, she could only bite down hard.
However, she dared not open her eyes. In her panic, she felt a cold hand touch her face.
She could no longer pretend. With a "whoosh," she opened her eyes and roared, "Take him down!"
Zhang Yu, who had been quietly preparing behind her, finally heard the order and leaped up.
Su Xiaoqi also drew her dagger and lunged directly at Kongshan's face.
This change happened in an instant.
If one reacted even slightly slower, they might not have had time to dodge.
But Kongshan was not an ordinary person after all.
Although he couldn't dodge completely, he wasn't hit in a vital spot.
He leaned back, blocking the attack with his arm, which was like iron.
A metallic clang rang out, Su Xiaoqi's arm went numb, and the dagger fell to the ground.
It turned out Kongshan's arm was fitted with an iron band, which perfectly deflected her fatal blow. He then retaliated with an elbow strike.
"Hiss..." Su Xiaoqi was hit in the shoulder and recoiled in pain.
Kongshan stared at her, his fingers forming a claw and reaching for her.
Zhang Yu had already rushed forward, intercepting the attack.
Kongshan glanced at another woman who had also woken up, his brows furrowed tightly. He realized he had encountered a tough opponent today.
He quickly shouted, "Don't bother playing around, take them down!"
Su Xiaoqi then saw the people around her; some had already undressed their victims, some were halfway through, and some had already penetrated.
Upon hearing Kongshan's words, they were all startled and joined the fray one after another.
Zhang Yu fought with Kongshan for a while but could not defeat him, managing only a draw.
Su Xiaoqi inwardly thought, "It's over."
She had been careless; she knew nothing about Kongshan.
She had expected Kongshan to be formidable, but he was even more so than she had imagined.
Furthermore, he had three lecherous monks by his side, who were only slightly inferior to him.
Zhang Yu and Kongshan fought to a draw.
But she could not contend with those three helpers of Kongshan.
However, she had many tricks up her sleeve, and her spatial dimension was filled with various powders she had concocted in her free time.
With the situation urgent, she disregarded everything and started scattering them.
"Ah..."
A handful of chili powder was thrown, stinging the eyes of a fat-headed monk who charged forward, causing him to cry out in pain.
"Damn it, you slut, get her!" He covered his face, crying out in pain, and even managed to order others to deal with her.
Su Xiaoqi was besieged by them. Unable to fight back, she took several blows, her shoulders, arms, waist, and face all in pain.
She fought and retreated, forced to the door, wanting to reach out and open it to escape.
But as soon as she reached out, someone grabbed her leg, and with a jerk, pulled her back and violently threw her to the ground.
Su Xiaoqi slid back more than ten feet, her whole body in agony.
"Mistress!" Zhang Yu, seeing this, was extremely worried and flustered. Kongshan seized the opportunity and landed a punch on her abdomen, also knocking her to the ground.
They both ended up on the ground, directly facing Su Xiaoqi.
Even at this point, Su Xiaoqi had not given up; she was still contemplating a strategy to repel the enemy.
Unexpectedly, Kongshan had already set his sights on her.
He looked at Su Xiaoqi, who had blood at the corner of her mouth, and complained with dissatisfaction to his companions behind him:
"Such a beauty, why would you dare to injure her?"
"She's too difficult to handle. If I don't use full force, I can't deal with her," a thin monk behind him chuckled.
Kongshan slowly approached, examining Su Xiaoqi carefully.
Looking at her from top to bottom, she had a unique charm.
Especially her defiant gaze and unyielding expression.
Compared to the women who had already succumbed to the effects of the aphrodisiac, she possessed a different kind of allure.
He chuckled sinisterly, with undisguised lust in his laughter.
"Hmph, what kind of eminent monk, engaging in such lecherous acts before the Buddha's hall, aren't you afraid of the Buddha's reprisal?" Su Xiaoqi's mind raced, trying to stall for time.
She didn't know why, but she just didn't want him to succeed so quickly.
And he would never succeed!
She willed a small dagger she usually used for peeling fruit to appear from her spatial dimension.
She would rather die than let him succeed.
Kongshan's hand reached out towards her, but halfway there, remembering her formidable capabilities, he turned towards her back instead. He wanted to start from behind.
This way, he wouldn't have to worry about this exceptionally powerful woman resisting.
"Mistress..." Zhang Yu, having struggled to her feet, charged at Kongshan without regard for her own safety.
Kongshan sneered, "Seeking death."
He raised his foot and kicked Zhang Yu, who was already injured.
Su Xiaoqi watched with her own eyes as Zhang Yu flew towards her.
Zhang Yu coughed up blood, her face bruised and swollen.
Her heart ached, and with a stretch of her hand and a surge of consciousness, she transferred Zhang Yu into her spatial dimension.
She remembered that her spatial dimension could hold people.
The sudden disappearance of a person from thin air caused everyone to exclaim in surprise.
But this surprise only lasted for a moment.
Especially Kongshan; his mind was filled with Su Xiaoqi, and a voice in his head was frantically screaming, "Take her, take her!"
