Chapter 150: I Promise, It Won't Hurt.
'He said we could get intimate later? Why do I feel butterflies fluttering a inside my stomach thinking about those words?' Scarlet wondered while trying to control her emotions; however, no matter how many times she tried to suppress her emotions towards him, they kept resurfacing within her, making it impossible to ignore them.
Although Scarlet was curious about that, she decided not to ask any further questions as she realized that now wasn't the right time for idle chit chat.
"Are you ready to begin?" Asher asked, and she nodded in affirmation.
Without wasting any more time, Asher extded his arm and placed it upon her soft breasts, touching the part where her heart was located.
This sudd action caught Scarlet unprepared as she gasped in surprise.
"Ahhh... " She was not expecting him to place his hand there out of nowhere, but now that he did, she couldn't help but let out a moan while trying to hide her embarrassmt with a blushing face.
'Oh god, this is the first time that anyone has touched me like this... His hands are so warm, and they feel so comfortable against my skin...' Scarlet thought as she continued to joy his touch on her bare part of chest, due to the effects of drugs.
Soon, Scarlet found herself unable to resist the urge to look down at his hands covering her breasts, which made her face turn redder than ever before.
Asher noticed her gaze and said, "Don't worry; I promise it won't hurt a bit. All you have to do is relax your body and let me take care of the rest. Can you trust me ough to allow me to do so?"
He gave her a reassuring smile as he spoke, making Scarlet nod her head without a doubt in her mind that he would keep his word.
Once she made her decision, Asher closed his eyes and conctrated to connect with the Astral Nexus Core Orb in his body.
Wh his connection with the orb was established, the orb emitted a glow that covered his whole body before spreading towards Scarlet as well, and her whole body began glowing with light, giving her an ethereal appearance.
Soon afterward, Scarlet felt something strange happing within her body, which shocked her as the light spread in her body like wildfire, petrating every cell of her being.
At first, it seemed like there was nothing unusual happing except for the fact that she was glowing, but it wasn't long before she began feeling differt ssations flowing throughout her veins, causing her to tremble all over.
A mysterious power began rushing into Scarlet's body through every pore of her skin, purifying her system from the drug's effects. It was unlike anything else she had ever expericed before, making her wonder what kind of miraculous technique this man used to accomplish such an amazing feat.
It didn't take long before the toxins dissolved into thin air, rdering them harmless as they dispersed completely, relieving her from all kinds of pain and discomfort that were tormting her body earlier.
After a few momts, the light faded away from both of their bodies, revealing a fully cured Scarlet lying on the g with a confused expression plastered across her beautiful face.
She thought of moving her hand, and to her surprise, she was able to do so just as easily as she normally would. She could feel everything just fine, and there was no sign of any lingering pain or lust that had plagued her earlier.
Scarlet couldn't believe what had just happed, and she pinched her own cheeks to check whether or not she was dreaming or hallucinating. To her delight, there was no mistake; she had finally returned to normal again after suffering such an ordeal.
"How are you feeling now, young lady?" Asher asked with concern visible in his voice.
After being snapped out of her stupor, a beautiful smile formed on her lips. It was like watching a flower bloom in spring, and it was hard to turn away from such beauty.
"Thank you, thank you for saving my life and also helping me recover from that accursed poison." She thanked Asher and threw herself in his arms, as she felt indebted to him for everything that he did for her today.
She buried her face in his shoulder, letting her tears flow without restraint as she cried in happiness for escaping such a dire situation alive.
If it wer't for him, th she would have succumbed to her fate by now and probably be dead already.
"I am glad to see you are alright. But if you really want to thank me, th stay alive and live your life to the fullest. Remember, the only person responsible for your fate is yourself, so you should learn to be strong in order to protect yourself from getting tricked by others."
"Yes, I understand. I promise to be careful next time and learn from this incidt," Scarlet replied with a firm determination reflected in her eyes.
At that momt, she promised herself that she would forever remember this day wh she almost lost herself to the cruel fate of being defiled and humiliated for eternity by some lecherous scum.
She swore in her heart to grow stronger than ever before and not let such a tragedy happ to her again. No matter what happs or how difficult things might become in the future, she will try her best to overcome all obstacles and remain steadfast in her path to improve her cultivation level while also learning about human nature so that she won't be fooled by deception like this again.
With rewed ergy coursing through her body, Scarlet pulled herself away from Asher and wiped away her tears using her sleeve.
As Asher was about to say something, he felt a sudd chill in his tire being and, without hesitation, hugged Scarlet again and disappeared.
The very next momt, a powerful sword-qi strike pierced the g where Asher and Scarlet were standing just seconds ago.
