Lin Xiao Tian was startled by the changes in his body.
Logically, with a little strength restored, his body should have been free of any adverse reactions, and something like a fever should have been impossible.
Yet, he felt himself getting hotter and hotter!
"Xiao Tian, what's wrong?" Li Xue asked.
She was right next to Lin Xiao Tian and could feel his symptoms.
"Lin Xiao Tian, are you on fire? If you can still move, scoot over a bit," Yang Xin couldn't help but tease.
Lin Xiao Tian wanted to explain, but the next moment, looking at the two women, he realized something was very wrong with him.
He looked down and instantly understood.
"No, I have to go!"
Realizing this, Lin Xiao Tian quickly moved away from the two women.
Seeing that Lin Xiao Tian could still stand, Yang Xin was momentarily stunned.
"Lin Xiao Tian, run fast!"
She thought Lin Xiao Tian had regained his freedom of movement and naturally shouted for him to leave. If Lin Xiao Tian left, there would be a chance to save them.
"Xiao Tian, be careful!" Li Xue, however, was concerned for Lin Xiao Tian's safety.
But they had both misunderstood Lin Xiao Tian.
With so little strength, escaping the cave mouth sealed by a spiderweb was harder than climbing to heaven.
The gaps in the spiderweb were large, yet Lin Xiao Tian couldn't even tear it apart a little.
Li Xue looked at the Insect King beside her, then at Lin Xiao Tian, thinking that Lin Xiao Tian was too hasty.
If the Insect King chased him, Lin Xiao Tian's hard-won opportunity would be wasted.
To her surprise, the Insect King didn't stop Lin Xiao Tian at all; instead, she chuckled.
"Kid, my poison will experience a qualitative leap today. Let's see how you withstand it this time."
The Insect King's sinister laughter echoed.
Lin Xiao Tian finally understood.
It wasn't that the Insect King was weak today.
Rather, she was stronger than ever, and Lin Xiao Tian's mobility was mainly due to poisoning.
Gradually, Lin Xiao Tian felt the heat in his body intensify.
This poison was akin to an aphrodisiac.
However, catalyzed by an old poison master like the Insect King, its potency was amplified.
Lin Xiao Tian looked at the two women before him, his eyes seeming to glow red.
It seemed he couldn't escape this time. Lin Xiao Tian hesitated for a moment, then finally went to Li Xue's side.
Choosing Li Xue meant the Insect King would target Li Xue later, but Lin Xiao Tian couldn't choose Yang Xin, as their relationship hadn't reached that point.
Li Xue was also puzzled by Lin Xiao Tian's actions until the next moment, when Lin Xiao Tian kissed her.
Mmm…
Li Xue's mouth was sealed.
At first, Lin Xiao Tian was gentle, but as it progressed, his actions became more intense.
"Xiao Tian…"
Looking at Lin Xiao Tian, who was breathing heavily, Li Xue sighed.
She knew Lin Xiao Tian had fallen prey to the Insect King this time.
The two kissed passionately. They hadn't been this intimate since Yang Xin arrived.
Soon, both were naked.
The scene made Yang Xin blush.
"Lin Xiao Tian, mind the occasion…" Yang Xin complained.
Honestly, seeing Lin Xiao Tian and Li Xue so intimate, she felt a pang of jealousy.
"Miss, Xiao Tian is poisoned," Li Xue tried to explain, but the next moment, Lin Xiao Tian kissed her again.
Although Lin Xiao Tian's movements were partially restricted by the poison, his body was still strong.
The worst part was that the poison was becoming more potent.
"Heh heh, kid, isn't there another one next to you? That one is also for you, compliments of me. Don't be shy." The Insect King laughed heartily.
Lin Xiao Tian ignored her. Showing any emotion at this moment would only make the Insect King feel she had found a weakness.
But as the Insect King said, with the increasing potency of the poison, Lin Xiao Tian was losing his composure.
Especially with such a beautiful woman lying beside him.
This poison maximized human desire!
Lin Xiao Tian desperately suppressed his desires, and Li Xue, sensing this, tried her best to cooperate. For a time, Lin Xiao Tian managed to suppress the poison.
Just then, a black spider leg landed beside Lin Xiao Tian.
The next moment, Lin Xiao Tian felt himself being pulled up.
By the time he reacted, Li Xue was on the other side, and he was leaning against Yang Xin.
"Don't waste it; it's something I painstakingly prepared for you," the Insect King's laughter came.
Seeing the Insect King place Lin Xiao Tian next to Yang Xin, Li Xue couldn't help but curse her for being despicable.
But she was powerless at this moment.
Lin Xiao Tian was poisoned and couldn't control himself, but Yang Xin was her employer and had treated her well at the Yang family. Li Xue didn't want Yang Xin to suffer.
Lin Xiao Tian tried his best to calm down, even turning his back.
Feeling Lin Xiao Tian's warmth beside her, Yang Xin's heart pounded rapidly.
Knowing it was a trap, she somehow found herself anticipating it…
But Lin Xiao Tian was truly resilient, like a divine turtle, and there was no movement for a long time.
Yang Xin frowned and tentatively called out, "Lin Xiao Tian, what's wrong? Are you dead?"
Lin Xiao Tian was furious. Even at this moment, Yang Xin was deliberately provoking him. "You're the one who's dead. Can't you feel my temperature rising?"
Yang Xin's cheeks flushed. She suddenly realized they were practically touching, though back-to-back, with only partial contact.
"You dare curse me? Lin Xiao Tian, you scoundrel!"
Lin Xiao Tian simply ignored her.
But Yang Xin was a chatterbox, and she would occasionally ask Lin Xiao Tian a question or two.
Listening to her, Lin Xiao Tian felt his inner turmoil intensify.
Finally, as the poison continued to accumulate, Lin Xiao Tian could no longer hold back.
"Lin Xiao Tian, you…"
Yang Xin looked nervously at Lin Xiao Tian, their distance now less than a centimeter.
"I'm sorry…"
Yang Xin said nothing, but closed her eyes.
After a period of madness, Yang Xin also succumbed.
Lin Xiao Tian looked at the innocent-looking Yang Xin, feeling immense guilt, but it was only past midnight.
Later, the Insect King left the cave. The black spiders that had accompanied her were now all dead, and she intended to take their corpses with her.
As for Lin Xiao Tian, he clearly no longer required her attention. Lin Xiao Tian couldn't escape, and he was quite occupied…
Lin Xiao Tian dispersed the faint glow of the fireflies in the cave.
Thus, a night passed.
The next day, the Insect King injected them with more poison, rendering Lin Xiao Tian immobile.
"Kid, last night felt good, didn't it? If you hand over the rest of the incantation, I promise you and these two women can live peacefully in the forest from now on," the Insect King said, looking down at Lin Xiao Tian.
Lin Xiao Tian didn't believe her at all.
The people who had been killed were living proof.
"You think you can get my incantation with just this? Dream on! I told you, you'll have to exchange it for the apostle's corpse."
The Insect King scoffed, "What if it were two pregnant women?"
