807: Chapter 523_2 807: Chapter 523_2 It was Jiang Tang’s arms that had been wrapped around her, and when the man clasped her in return, she couldn’t help but hug him back.
Jiang Tang, when confronted with such initiative, the kind that didn’t advance but allowed him to savor at his leisure, would he refuse?
Of course, he seized the opportunity and hugged the woman even tighter.
He lowered his head, one hand around her waist, the other cradling her head, his lips kissing the woman’s, savoring the taste.
He found the woman sweet, tasting the sweetness just by smelling her lips.
The more he indulged, the more he liked, lost in the intoxication.
Cai Xiangxiang’s first kiss was gone, the first time she had been kissed by a man, their tongues constantly drawing on each other, feeling the sensation of love.
So this is what kissing was like, no wonder those women were so fond of his kisses.
To be kissed by a man she loved felt so intoxicating.
Cai Xiangxiang and Jiang Tang both lost themselves in each other’s kiss.
As they reveled in their passion, there they were, in midair on the mountainside, seemingly oblivious to onlookers who found themselves speechless.
Not wanting to interrupt, but feeling like a glaring light bulb when not speaking up, should he then just leave?
It was a dilemma to leave them be; he originally came to see if those people were dead.
Had these two forgotten why they came here?
Ye Tian looked on as the two embraced and lost themselves in each other.
His thoughts were incessant, Cai Xiangxiang had been crying so fiercely just before, and now, swept away by Jiang Tang, all safety and concern for family were forgotten.
Jiang Tang truly was an assassin of women’s hearts; his actions had transformed a pure beauty into what many would consider a wanton woman.
Cai Xiangxiang was indeed beautiful, and Ye Tian had known her for a long time, but he was more devoted; Yan Weiwei was his true love.
Cai Xiangxiang seemed to have long harbored affection for Jiang Tang, but Ye Tian thought with all the women around Jiang Tang, how would he have time for Cai Xiangxiang?
Yet, it took a demon’s incident to let Jiang Tang, with his handsome and dashing exterior, and playboy heart, wreak havoc.
After all, men love beauties and women love heroes, and this natural mutual attraction wasn’t something he could stop; he could only wish them well.
But they had tarried long enough, forgetting their purpose here, and he was growing impatient; it was time to intervene.
For heaven’s sake, for earth’s sake!
Snowflakes drifted down, falling around them, painting a beautiful scene, yet none landed on their heads.
“Cough cough…!”
Ye Tian’s cough brought the kissing pair back to reality.
Cai Xiangxiang, coming back to her senses and realizing what she was doing, shyly pushed Jiang Tang away.
Jiang Tang, still reveling in the sweetness, reminiscing the recent taste, knew that Cai Xiangxiang was now his, marked with his seal.
From now on, if anyone dared to compete with him for Cai Xiangxiang, he would be anything but polite.
Jiang Tang entertained such possessive thoughts, and Cai Xiangxiang had already accepted his kiss; henceforth, he would be her protector.
At that moment, he shot Ye Tian a glare, feeling his moment was ruined.
Ye Tian touched his nose helplessly, feeling like he had offended the brother-in-law.
Hopefully, the brother-in-law wouldn’t hold a grudge!
An oversight indeed, he should have let them be a while longer, and he could have gone back to his Flying Treasure and allowed them to linger here.
Now that it had come to this, he hoped the brother-in-law wouldn’t make him pay for it!
“Weren’t we supposed to be rescuing people?”
Ye Tian’s mention of the rescue brought a blush to Cai Xiangxiang’s face as she looked down, suddenly remembering the purpose of their visit.
She had become so engrossed in Jiang Tang’s question that she forgot her relatives.
A flicker of guilt crossed her mind, but the most important thing now was to save her family.
“Jiang Tang, quickly, dispel the illusion; I need to see my family!”
Jiang Tang nodded with a smile to Cai Xiangxiang, who was now his beloved.
He was about to meet his in-laws and naturally had to act quickly.
“The illusion has already been dispelled, and what’s left is to open the entrance covered by the snow and the sealed door inside the cave,” he said.
Hearing this, Ye Tian could only nod.
Cai Xiangxiang thought for a moment and said, “Can I open it?”
“No, let me do it,” Jiang Tang, ever the helpful one, waved his hand and the snow on the mountain melted, flowing down the slopes like water before re-freezing into even thicker snow at the foothills.
The sky still floated with heavy snow, but none of it landed on them.
Jiang Tang waved his hand again and opened the stone gate of the cave sealed by the Western Wolf Demon.
The stone gate seemed to have a mechanism, but in reality, it was part of a Formation by the Western Wolf Demon, unyielding to force unless its secret was unraveled.
“Crack, bang, bang, bang!”
The opening of the stone gate was so loud it seemed as though it might split the entire mountain asunder.
Jiang Tang surveyed the cave for any threats, concerned whether the Western Wolf Demon had set a trap and if humans would be harmed upon entering.
Cai Xiangxiang rushed in the moment the stone gate opened, seeing what lay beyond the entrance.
Jiang Tang detected something awry; the air inside the cave held a scent akin to a Sleeping Drug, potent enough to render people unconscious, but it was too late to stop her.
Ye Tian was about to enter but was pulled back by Jiang Tang!
“Wait a minute!”
Ye Tian looked at Jiang Tang, confused for a moment before realizing, “Is there danger inside?”
He thought to himself, if there was danger, why hadn’t Jiang Tang stopped Cai Xiangxiang.
Just as he was about to voice this concern, he saw Cai Xiangxiang collapse to the ground.
Cai Xiangxiang had already found her family and the villagers—hundreds of people—lying in the vast cave, all on the ground.
The cave was warm, and she meant to check if they were alive or dead, sensing that they appeared lifeless, though their faces were flushed.
Not like the dead, she wondered why so many were lying down.
As she turned to ask Jiang Tang, dizziness overtook her and she fell.
“This…” It dawned on Ye Tian that the cave might contain some type of drug, an unforeseen trap they had failed to detect.
“I was too careless.
I only thought there might be danger inside but didn’t consider a Sleeping Drug.”
Jiang Tang sighed, disappointed at himself, a Great Power Holder, for missing such a subtle sign.
The drug, however, was ineffective against him; if Cai Xiangxiang was affected, there was no doubt Ye Tian would succumb as well should he enter.
Jiang Tang reflected on how these people might have been there for months, wondering what sustained their lives through hunger and thirst, sustaining them for so long.
The Western Wolf Demon’s drug had not killed them, reducing its sins.
Jiang Tang knew only the Vitality Flower and the Nourishing Soul Flower could counteract the Sleeping Drug and breathe life back into the villagers, restoring their depleted spirits.
With this thought, he scattered over a hundred of both flowers around the cave, turning it red and green with their vibrant presence.
Ye Tian marveled at Jiang Tang’s abundant resources and wondered where he had acquired them all.
These must be key ingredients of the Supreme Elixir!
While valuable to them, Jiang Tang had casually produced these flowers.
Indeed, Jiang Tang was a tycoon of resources—unmatched in wealth and possessions—truly, an impressive uncle.
Amidst his admiration, Ye Tian felt fortunate to have such supportive kin by his side.
Cai Xiangxiang hadn’t inhaled much of the hallucinatory drug, and with her considerable abilities, she soon regained consciousness, waking to find herself beside her relatives.
She leapt up, seeing Jiang Tang and Ye Tian at the cave entrance.
Her panic eased at the sight.
“Jiang Tang, why am I lying on the ground?”
Jiang Tang approached with a smile, “It’s nothing, let’s go see your relatives!”
“Yes,” Cai Xiangxiang went to where her parents, grandparents, and a boy who looked like her brother lay.
Seeing them still unconscious, she wore an anxious expression, turning to Jiang Tang.
“Jiang Tang, they won’t be in trouble, will they?”
Jiang Tang shook his head, not needing to examine them; he could feel their bodily functions starting to recover.
Yet, after lying there for many months, it wasn’t possible for them to rebound instantly.
