Under the enhancement of the Great Dream Vajra Divine Skill, the electroplated fire tongs Chen Xiao hurled possessed a force and accuracy comparable to deadly darts. Sun Xiaoxiang only managed to take half a step back before the tongs fiercely lodged themselves into the back of his knee.
"Ah—"
Accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream, Sun Xiaoxiang collapsed to the ground. When he turned to look at Chen Xiao, his expression was so terrified it was as if he had seen a ghost. Trembling, he wailed,
"Xiao... Brother Xiao, please calm your anger... calm your anger, little brother... little brother knows he was wrong..."
Chen Xiao, supporting the already drunken Chen Mingxi with one hand, rose unhurriedly. He casually picked up another electroplated fire tong from beside him, clamped two glowing red charcoal pieces, and approached Sun Xiaoxiang. His voice was as cold as a knife:
"Now you won't even have a chance to eat them yourself, will you? Hurry up and open your mouth, I'll feed you."
"I... I... I..."
Sun Xiaoxiang lay on the ground, looking up at Chen Xiao from above. He watched as the two burning hot charcoal pieces clamped by the electroplated fire tongs drew closer and closer to his face. His heart instantly leaped into his throat.
He truly couldn't imagine what it would be like to eat two pieces of charcoal. After a moment's thought, he decided to firmly shut his mouth, secretly vowing that no matter how Chen Xiao pried or forced, he would never open it.
"You think not opening your mouth will solve anything?"
Chen Xiao sneered coldly and pressed the glowing red charcoal directly against Sun Xiaoxiang's face. With a "sizzle," oil smoke immediately began to rise from Sun Xiaoxiang's scalded skin.
"Ah—"
In pain, Sun Xiaoxiang instinctively opened his mouth and screamed.
Chen Xiao seized the opportunity and unhesitatingly shoved the two charcoal pieces entirely into Sun Xiaoxiang's mouth.
Instantly, smoke began to billow from Sun Xiaoxiang's mouth and nostrils.
The indescribable pain drove him to frantically try to spit them out. The bizarre screams sent chills down the spines of his five or six companions lying on the ground, their hearts pounding with fear. They could no longer bother with their own injuries, scrambling to their feet and desperately fleeing. The onlookers, who had been watching from a distance, ran even faster, as if afraid they would be Chen Xiao's next target.
"You can't take this? Did you even consider the consequences before you scalded my cousin? Damn it!"
Chen Xiao had no intention of stopping. As he spoke, he suddenly raised the electroplated fire tongs and smashed them onto Sun Xiaoxiang's face, easily crushing his skull.
Now, Sun Xiaoxiang couldn't even open his mouth. He could only let out a muffled cry, holding the two burning charcoal pieces in his mouth, his hands and feet flailing like a drowning dog's limbs. He clearly wanted to escape with all his might, but this only brought more unbearable pain from his leg, which had been pierced by the fire tongs.
Such inhuman torture was simply unbearable for Sun Xiaoxiang. He struggled for less than five minutes before losing consciousness on the spot.
"Pah!"
Chen Xiao spat out the anger in his chest and then picked up the completely unconscious Chen Mingxi and left.
He had only been focused on retaliating against Sun Xiaoxiang, assuming Chen Mingxi had fainted simply from drinking too much and being overly frightened. Now, with the aid of the wordless golden scripture for diagnosis, he was suddenly alarmed. He couldn't help but turn back and deliver seven or eight furious kicks to Sun Xiaoxiang, who lay there like a dead pig:
"Bastard, how dare you give Mingxi that kind of drug?"
At this moment, Chen Xiao truly wished he could flay Sun Xiaoxiang alive and scatter his ashes.
But anger wouldn't solve the problem. The urgent priority was to quickly neutralize the effects of the drug in Chen Mingxi's body.
To prevent Chen Qing from worrying, Chen Xiao hesitated only briefly before carrying Chen Mingxi straight to a small motel across the street.
Soon, in a poorly furnished motel room, after laying the unconscious Chen Mingxi on the bed, Chen Xiao quickly cut his finger. He then secretly circulated the profound and mysterious wordless golden scripture in his mind, squeezing a drop of blood from his fingertip into Chen Mingxi's mouth. He thought to himself:
"The drug that Sun Xiaoxiang, that beast in human clothing, gave Mingxi is potent. Unless there is Yin and Yang union, it's difficult to neutralize its effects. But he never would have imagined I possess the wordless golden scripture. With its enhancement, all I need is a drop of my fingertip blood to easily neutralize the drug. Unless Mingxi and I are not related by blood. But then again, Mingxi is my cousin, how could we not be related by blood?"
After feeding Chen Mingxi the fingertip blood enhanced by the wordless golden scripture, Chen Xiao focused his attention on Chen Mingxi's scalded areas.
Chen Mingxi was wearing a pleated skirt and a rather conservative short-sleeved shirt. The burns were mainly concentrated on her exposed calves and arms, but the most severe was on the instep of her left foot, where the wound was about two fingers wide and as long as an index finger.
"With such severe burns, even with my White Jade Emerald Paste, it would likely take some time to heal without a scar. For now, I can only use massage to alleviate the pain."
Chen Xiao was heartbroken and quickly began massaging Chen Mingxi's scalded areas. The profound and mysterious wordless golden scripture in his mind immediately activated, and he became completely engrossed, losing himself in the process.
"Mmm... so hot... so hot..."
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xiao vaguely heard Chen Mingxi murmuring in her sleep. He finally managed to pull himself slightly out of the profound massage. To his horror, he saw that the unconscious Chen Mingxi had already taken off her upper garment and was tearing at the strap of her clothing, which had slipped off her shoulder.
Not only that, but Chen Mingxi's cheeks were flushed, her breathing was rapid, and the sounds coming from her throat were becoming increasingly suggestive, clearly indicating the onset of the drug's effects.
"How... how could this happen? My fingertip blood contains the divine power of the wordless golden scripture, why does it have no antidote effect on Mingxi? Could it be... could it be that Mingxi and I are not related by blood? No! That's impossible! Her father and my mother are siblings!"
Chen Xiao's face was a mask of exaggerated shock. After a moment's thought, he grabbed Chen Mingxi's wrist and once again circulated the wordless golden scripture.
Soon, he was even more shocked, because... because according to the examination by the wordless golden scripture, he and Chen Mingxi were indeed not related by blood in any way.
"Either Chen Xingwen and my mother are not siblings, or Mingxi is not Chen Xingwen's biological daughter!"
Contemplating this possibility, Chen Xiao's mind became even more chaotic.
Just then, the unconscious Chen Mingxi had even taken off her pleated skirt, revealing two slender, fair, and sexy legs.
"Uh..."
Chen Xiao immediately became anxious and quickly pulled a blanket to cover Chen Mingxi.
However, to his exasperation, Chen Mingxi, although in an unconscious state, still possessed the ability to move. This was the terrifying power of the drug Sun Xiaoxiang had put in the beer.
Before Chen Xiao could cover Chen Mingxi with the blanket, she sensed the presence of a male and suddenly lunged at Chen Xiao, pinning him down and kissing him clumsily yet eagerly.
