Heat, immense heat, a feverish heat that drives one to madness, intertwined with uncontrollable impulses, sprinting through the entirety of her body, her delicate form uncontrollably trembling.

Pain, intense pain, as if her head was about to split open, harshly tearing at each nerve, brutally devouring her already blurry consciousness.

A hellish destruction, seemingly set to submerge her, leaving no room for escape.

Despite all this, Tang Kexin forced herself to calm down at the very first opportunity.

What was happening? Wasn't she supposed to be carrying out a mission? How did it come to this?

It was clear—to her, at least—that she had been drugged.

She, a secret military doctor for a certain high hierarchy, a renowned psychologist; not many could have the capability to drug her.

"Although the girl may be a little dense, her face is still quite pleasing to the eye. Tonight, enjoy yourself," suddenly footstep sounds came from outside the door. The obscene, muted voice found its way into Tang Kexin's ears.

Even though she was yet to completely grasp the situation, this single line was enough for Tang Kexin to understand what would happen next.

Tang Kexin knew that, at this moment, she had to save herself.

However, her headache was severe at the moment, her body felt even worse, and she could not use the slightest bit of strength. She couldn't even muster up enough energy to crawl, let alone escape.

This drug was incredibly potent.

With her hand haphazardly supporting her, she struggled to get up without success. Yet, Tang Kexin could feel her hand touching something.

Just when the door was being pushed open, the bed suddenly collapsed, collapsed!

And then, Tang Kexin fell straight down, fell down!

The very instant she fell, the bed closed up and returned to its original state.

The moment she hit the ground, it wasn't pain she felt as she'd expected, but rather the landing was a bit unsmooth. Tang Kexin squinted her eyes, for she seemed to be landing on a person.

Through tactile sensation, she could ascertain that what she had landed on was, without a doubt, a man.

The man's aura was somewhat cold, yet there was a unique intoxicating scent that filled her nostrils and enveloped her instantly.

Tang Kexin gazed at him, her eyes blurry and intoxicated. The lighting was poor, she couldn't perceive clearly; her body uncontrollably shivered, overwhelmed by a surge of desperate yearning.

It felt as if someone struggling in the desert for days and nights on the verge of exhaustion, suddenly catching sight of an oasis- a divine redemption akin to paradise. This fatal temptation seeped into her every cell.

“Mmm…” Tang Kexin moaned involuntarily. The consciousness she was barely holding onto crumbled at that moment as she lowered her head, her burning lips pressing against the man underneath, kissing him at the nape of his neck.

The man stiffened, his expression indiscernible in the dark. But the icy aura, frozen for thousands of miles, suddenly expanded, filling every inch of space and erupting with a chilling murderous intent.

This woman who had fallen from upstairs was not only pinning him down but had also audaciously kissed him?

Had he not just removed the poison that paralyzed him, he would have crushed this reckless woman into pieces.

Unfortunately, Tang Kexin at this moment sensed no danger. All she knew was that being this close made her body feel less uncomfortable, the desire within her finally found an outlet, so she needed more.

Her kisses became more frantic, her tongue coming out, ceaselessly violating his neck region, she even fearlessly started biting.

The man's body noticeably stiffened.

"Sweetheart, don't be afraid." In a dazed state, a slightly unclear voice spread, she could not distinguish was whose it was. Half-drunk and half-conscious, Tang Kexin felt a large hand gripping her waist, as if to break her slender willow-like waist.

Hmph, he had no clue about treating a woman gently.

At this moment, she had the audacity to request a man, who was under her control, to treat her gently — quite a fearless move indeed.

Had it not been for the man's immobilization, the hand gripping her waist with all his strength, she probably would've been reduced to ashes.

Her lips traced a path up his neck and finally migrated to his lips, stealing a kiss.

The man's lips pursed tight as he clenely gritted his teeth. Tang Kexin couldn't go deeper into the kiss, her lips curving slightly in dissatisfaction. Then, in the next moment, she forcefully pressed down a certain point on his waist. Being a doctor, she knew exactly what she was doing in this situation.

At this point, Tang Kexin's consciousness had already blurred, her actions purely driven by the wild desires coursing through her body. If it wasn't for this poisoned state, she would have neither dared nor even considered doing such a thing.

Having just been detoxified, the man, devoid of any resistance, let out a soft moan due to her sudden movement, slightly parting his lips.

Seizing this opportunity, Tang Kexin made her way deeper into the kiss.

Tang Kexin laughed satisfyingly, her laughter was like a warm spring breeze, coquettish and attractive, flashing with triumph.

However, the man remained solemn, murderous intent going rampant in his eyes. Even in this darkness, his gaze alone was capable of tearing someone apart.

Nonetheless, such murderous aura didn't influence Tang Kexin at that moment. Her fragrant tongue, carrying a hint of uncertainty, probed his mouth. The residual medicine from her tongue seeped into his mouth— the residual aphrodisiac effect seeping into his body.

As Tang Kexin had anticipated, this was a potent aphrodisiac that even a slight amount could drive one mad. He was all the more susceptible now, devoid of any resisting capability.

A hint of the icy demeanor faded from the man's body and the murderous intent in his eyes also lost its initial power, his deep eyes subtly dulling, taking on an unusual color.

Tang Kexin's heated body pressed tightly against his as her small hand sauntered its way under his clothes, climbing up his gradually warming chest.

The next moment, the man's sensual lips slowly curl up, fascinatingly captivating, utterly bewitching. In a swift turn of events, he pinned her beneath him, instantly switching their positions.

Not knowing if this was intentional punishment, the man suddenly lowered his head and bit her shoulder forcefully, causing her to gasp in pain even in her hazy state of consciousness.

This bite was sure to leave a mark.

In her gasp, he released her, but immediately kissed her lips forcefully, silencing all her sounds. At the same time, he quickly stripped off her clothes.

Tang Kexin, in this moment, was incapable of rational thought, only sinking in the fiery madness.

In their entangled passion, the fierce fire burnt, violently and crazily, claiming and conquering with no end in sight.

She greatly admired herself for not fainting from such madness.

Eventually, he stopped as the effects of the drug wore off. She regained her clarity and immediately restored her cool. She needed to leave as soon as possible.

In the darkness, she reached for her clothes. Their feel seemed odd to touch but she still managed to put them on.

“Leaving?” a sinister voice emerged from behind her the moment she set foot on the ground.

The voice was low but ice-cold, choking off her breath with its danger, like a death knell from the depths of hell, causing fear to crawl over her skin.

In the darkness, Tang Kexin could feel his glare without needing to look back. That gaze wished to tear her to pieces and then erase her completely.

Always calm, Tang Kexin, who had lost all concept of fear over the years, found herself frozen with a chilly fear crawling up her back.

She knew clearly that this man indeed wanted to kill her.

A slight smile appeared on Tang Kexin's lips. Even if she had intruded into his room with a slight intent of coercion, in such matters, it was usually the woman that ended up suffering. And moreover, she was a magnificent beauty; how could she be at a disadvantage?

In fact, he was the one who took the initiative to possess her over and over again. More bizarrely, he had bitten her shoulder and it still ached.

She had eaten his food and used his stuff without paying, but was it necessary for him to be so ruthless as to want to kill her?

However, killing her won't be that easy. Tang Kexin didn't move her body, but her hand was already tightly grasped. If he moved, she would...

But, after waiting for a while, there was no movement behind her. She turned around slowly, filled with puzzlement.

Looking into his eyes that were icy as a frozen river but brimming with murderous intent, even she who was usually calm, was startled.

She had never known that a gaze could have such great power. She understood that this man was not simple, and moreover, he was very dangerous.

At this moment, he was sitting on the bed, eyes locked onto her, but he did not move a muscle.

With such intense murderous intent, yet he didn't make a move. There was only one possibility... he couldn't move.

Tang Kexin's lips curled up in relief. What a scare she had gotten.

As Tang Kexin speculated, he indeed couldn't move, probably due to a sudden surge in his blood pressure from his abrupt actions. Yet, the intimidating aura emanating from him was enough to fill people's hearts with fear and stop them from approaching.

Seeing him filled with murderous intent, desiring to tear her apart yet unable to move, a corner of Tang Kexin's lips lifted up into a smirk.

"Well, leaving like this is indeed impolite." Tang Kexin looked at him and nodded seriously, her voice hoarse from earlier.

He wanted to kill her and then frightened her. Leaving just like this was not her style.

Tang Kexin never held grudges, because she had always taken revenge immediately.

Moreover, she was good at understanding people. Leaving him alone in his soliloquy wasn't an option for her, so she decided to cooperate well with him.

The man's frosty and murderous eyes were locked on her, showing a hint of surprise.

"Although your skills are really not that great, you did work hard. So, you deserve some compensation," she said, the smirk on her corner lips spreading further. Her words were serious, yet with a hint of solemnity.

In the darkness, he could not see the smile on her face, but he could clearly distinguish the damn cheerfulness in her voice.

Damn woman.

"Woman, you're courting death!" His eyes narrowed in a flash, giving her a stinging look. The murderous intent he was exuding smashed into her unabated, as if he was ready to flay her skin, extract her muscles, bone her, and reduce her to ashes.

Tang Kexin believed that if this man could move, he would have done so. Unfortunately, not now.

So, she wasn't afraid of him.

Almost reflexively, her hand plunged into a pouch on her waist and pulled out a few things.

Looking at the items she had just pulled out, Tang Kexin was stunned. It seemed to be some broken pieces of silver.

When did they start using pieces of silver in the 21st century? And she had a pouch on her waist?

Facing his murderous gaze, Tang Kexin didn’t have time to think deeply. It didn’t matter whether it was banknotes or broken silver. They didn't make a difference to what she was planning to do next.

"These pieces of silver are for you. It's the payment you had earned from your hard work. Make sure to keep it." With that said, Tang Kexin placed the silver in his hand. After nicely handling everything, she turned nonchalantly and walked away.

"Woman, you better not fall into my hands, otherwise…"Watching her back, the man clenched his teeth, making a threatening sound, "how dare this damn woman really dare…"

"Don't worry, there won't come such a day." Tang Kexin's response was certain and confident.

Given her status and abilities, no one could find her if she didn't want them to.

The poisoning was a plot, bumping into this man was an accident, and the prank she played was purely because he harbored murderous intentions—it was merely harmless fun. But after all this, there would be no traces left.

However, she was oblivious that things had vastly changed - she was no longer the same Tang Kexin who had been able to escape unscathed in the bloody turmoil of the 21st century.

Furthermore, unbeknownst to her, among the shattered silver pieces that she placed into the man's hands, there was another item bearing an unusual mark.

There won't be a day like that? Watching as he departed, he let out a laugh fueled by rage," Well, very well, I would very much like to see how that woman manages to escape."

Even if he had to dig three feet into the ground, he was determined to unearth that woman. It seemed there was no one in the world that he couldn't find should he set his heart on it.

Suddenly, he detected an oddity in the shards of silver he was holding. At the corners of his eyes, a smirk began to form, slowly stretching into a faint smile, elusive and bone-chilling, striking fear into one's heart.
