Chapter 196: The Unfinished Tale and a Blushing Escape

I actually understood why I had transformed this way. Before we arrived, Mo Qingyan had warned me that if a couple were truly trapped in a bizarre tale, their first reaction would undoubtedly be panic. They would never consider that the way out was to satisfy the girlfriend.

Therefore, this bizarre tale needed to guide them towards that solution. This included hypnotic suggestions and physical reactions.

The physical effects were achieved through the scent and pollen of the flowers. Originally, the process wasn’t so intense; it was meant to be a slow, gradual influence. However, because Yi Zhiqiu attacked the bizarre tale, it directly released a large amount of pollen that was initially only meant for subtle guidance.

Furthermore, the vines were a failsafe mechanism. If the partner trapped inside was too timid and couldn’t even complete the task, the vines would forcefully satisfy the woman before sending them out.

Typically, this mechanism would activate at least five hours later. Again, it was Yi Zhiqiu’s attack on the bizarre tale’s space that triggered an emergency response, making the bizarre tale try to expel us quickly, yet still needing to meet its conditions.

Because of this, the vines were not deemed an attack by the magical artifact. Their essence was to help, so the artifact’s defenses did not activate.

Mo Qingyan also told me that this bizarre tale was ultimately abandoned because its escape conditions were too complex. After all, not many couples, upon finding themselves trapped in an unfamiliar space, would still be in the mood for romance.

If the ritual could be completed naturally by the man and woman through suggestion and aphrodisiacs, it would have been fine. But if they encountered a ‘blockhead’ or a coward, forcing the vines to activate would leave the woman with an indelible trauma.

Of course, this did align with the meaning of a bizarre tale. Yet, when Liang Chu first created bizarre tales, he hoped they would be discreet and efficient. Ideally, students wouldn’t even realize a bizarre tale existed until they had experienced it, much like the invisible display case in the cafeteria.

Hence, this bizarre tale of a ‘lovers’ tryst’ was never completed and was eventually abandoned. Though, in my eyes, its level of completion was already quite high.

Just now, my body was constantly heating up, and I instinctively wanted to embrace Yi Zhiqiu. My breath came in soft gasps. If I hadn’t known the reason for my state and hadn’t clung to my rationality, I would have already stripped off my clothes.

“Xia Yubing, have you been poisoned? You must detoxify quickly. Take the pill I gave you that day,” Yi Zhiqiu said.

I shook my head. Yi Zhiqiu looked at me, puzzled. I knew that taking the pill could suppress this surging desire, but once the body reacted, it was incredibly difficult to force it back down.

I looked up, my eyes moist and hazy, meeting Yi Zhiqiu’s gaze. “Tell me, how do we get out of here? You must know the way, right?”

“I do. You just need to be satisfied. To put it more directly, it requires… you to ‘finish,'” Yi Zhiqiu nodded and replied.

“I can’t take it anymore. I want to get out right now. Can you help me?” My legs involuntarily clamped around Yi Zhiqiu as I asked, my breath soft and urgent.

With such a beautiful campus belle nestled against him, Yi Zhiqiu’s heartbeat quickened. His expression became a complex mix of nervousness, excitement, and desire. His hands even twitched, wanting to embrace me.

But quickly, his eyes cleared. He pushed me away forcefully and turned, saying, “No! I can’t take advantage of you like this. Your name is Bing Ning, not ‘random action.’ I’ll help you expel the poison. I swear I’ll take responsibility.”

His refusal brought me back to my senses somewhat. I truly couldn’t accept doing such a thing with a man. I had only been influenced by the bizarre tale just now. If I actually went through with it, I would regret it for a lifetime.

I had discussed this with Mo Qingyan before, wondering how I should handle it if things reached this point. Taking a step back, I asked, “Do you have any other way to get me out?”

“Not yet, but just bear with it a little longer. I’m sure I can find a way to send you out,” Yi Zhiqiu said, looking a bit troubled.

“I don’t want to wait anymore. I’ll solve it myself. You, just stand here and don’t look!” I said, scurrying behind a nearby tree and reaching up to lift my school skirt.

“Solve it yourself? Wait, do you mean?!” Yi Zhiqiu suddenly understood what I meant. Now it was his turn to blush. Yi Zhiqiu wanted to leave, but after a moment’s thought, he said, “I’m afraid you’ll encounter danger again. I’ll stand right here. Don’t go too far.”

“Mm.” I mumbled in response, never imagining that my first ‘naked’ experience after becoming a girl would happen under such circumstances.

Although I had considered it before, I never had the courage to actually do it. Xia Yubing was, after all, a goddess in my heart previously, and doing so felt like desecrating a goddess. But now, I couldn’t care less.

“Mm! Ah!” Although I bit my lip tightly, sounds still escaped. No matter how quiet, Yi Zhiqiu’s hearing would surely catch every detail.

I couldn’t endure it. Just the touch of my fingers sent an electric shock through me, let alone a slow, teasing exploration.

What made it even harder to accept was that Yi Zhiqiu’s image flashed through my mind the entire time. When I was a boy, I used to think of beautiful girls. Why was it only Yi Zhiqiu now?

“Ah!” I let out a high-pitched cry, slowly collapsing to the ground against the tree trunk. This first self-satisfaction experience was truly awful.

Especially with Yi Zhiqiu listening not far away, I felt utterly humiliated, like social suicide. I couldn’t face him anymore.

Just then, I felt my surroundings blur. The conditions had been met, and the bizarre tale vanished, releasing both Yi Zhiqiu and me. We were back in the small grove from before, and the sounds of students echoed around us.

I frantically stood up, straightened my clothes, and slowly emerged from behind the tree. My head was bowed, my face burning red like fire. I didn’t dare to meet Yi Zhiqiu’s gaze.

Yi Zhiqiu also seemed at a loss for words, making the atmosphere incredibly awkward. But he knew he couldn’t let the girl speak first in such a situation, so he bravely said, “Thanks to you, we finally got out. I also left a magical artifact inside the bizarre tale, locking it down with Daoist techniques. This time, I will definitely destroy this bizarre tale.”

“Mm,” I quietly agreed, nodding my head. I had completely lost face in front of Yi Zhiqiu this time; what was the point of saying anything else? What happened to the bizarre tale no longer mattered.

Yi Zhiqiu seemed to realize that such words couldn’t comfort me. After a moment’s thought, he reached out and embraced me. “You’ve really been through a lot this time. I’m sorry. Only you and I will know about this incident. I won’t tell anyone, and I will definitely compensate you well.”
