After Returning from a Faked Death, My Crazed, Rebellious Disciple Forced His Love Upon Me - Chapter 19

Ji Chen was not the type of person to fall into a state of despair or lose his will to live just because his chastity had been compromised. Besides, that was a sentiment held by ancient women; he was neither a woman nor an ancient person. Therefore, he did not care much about having his precious first time as a virgin taken by Guitong just now. It was not as if it would affect his ability to marry a wife in the future.

His legs were simply a bit numb, and he felt a sharp pain in his backside. He wanted to get up, and after propping himself up with his elbows and struggling several times, he finally managed to climb off the platform. However, the moment he stood up, his legs suddenly went weak. Both knees gave way uncontrollably, and he fell to the floor.

Standing directly in front of him was the man who demanded his submission, his crimson eyes still glowing with a bloody light. Ultimately, regardless of how much he resisted the urge to kneel, he ended up kneeling before Guitong.

“Was being punished by this Venerable so pleasurable that you suddenly offer such a grand gesture of respect?” Guitong mocked him indirectly. “Next time you make something so undrinkable to appease me, the punishment will not be this simple.”

Guitong’s words were sharp and deliberate. In the moment he knelt, Ji Chen suddenly understood. It turned out that Guitong wanted to use this method to force him onto his knees. Whether it was for this young boy or for his past self, Guitong sought to obtain the pleasure he desired through humiliation. The man had long since gone mad.

But Ji Chen refused to yield. Even though his legs lacked the slightest bit of strength, he used every ounce of his will to support his weak body, shakily straightening his torso. As the sound of footsteps grew distant, Ji Chen slowly raised his head and realized that Guitong had already walked back up the stone steps to his original seat. The long black hem of his robes trailed across the steps behind him.

Guitong turned and sat down. This time, his gaze held a hint of triumph, as if he had returned from a victory. He rested his chin on his fist once more and looked down at Ji Chen from his high vantage point.

“His life can be considered saved by you. However, he can no longer hold the position of Right Protector.”

Yuan Yi hurriedly bowed his head to express his gratitude.

Guitong’s tone shifted, and his gaze returned solely to Ji Chen. “But the position of Right Protector cannot remain vacant. You are a perfect fit.”

Ji Chen gave no reaction. He truly could not fathom what Guitong was trying to do. Naturally, Yuan Yi also kept his head lowered, still kneeling where he was and not daring to breathe loudly. When Guitong did not receive a response from Ji Chen, he asked again, “Can you not hear me, or do you simply not understand?”

“I do not understand,” Ji Chen replied without a hint of emotion, as if he were sulking.

“You do not understand? This Venerable shall make an exception and teach you.”

As Guitong spoke, a small jade plate suddenly materialized in his hand. Carved onto the jade was a bold and majestic character for “Protector.” He casually tossed the jade plate down, and it landed right at Ji Chen’s feet.

“Take this. With it, you can enter and leave Nine Slaughter City freely. No one will dare to make things difficult for you. As for the administrative matters within the city, if you do not understand them, leave them to Yuan Yi. You only need to be a protector in name.”

Ji Chen asked, “Then what is the meaning of me being this Right Protector?”

“There is no meaning,” Guitong explained dismissively. “As I said, it is just a title.”

“Do I still need to help you find that person?”

This question was Ji Chen’s way of testing Guitong. If Guitong said there was no need to look anymore, it would mean that Ji Chen had been completely exposed. But Guitong replied without hesitation, “Of course you must find him. Until I find that scumbag, this Venerable will never rest. Moreover, I want him to suffer a death worse than anything imaginable.”

Ji Chen felt relieved. Clearly, he had not been recognized yet.

“Then I must still wait half a month?”

This time, Guitong did not answer immediately. Another object materialized in his palm, and he tossed it toward Ji Chen. “Eat it.”

What landed beside Ji Chen was a small white medicine bottle. It rolled twice before stopping right by his feet. Ji Chen now had two items waiting for him. He did not pick up the Protector Jade Plate; instead, he crouched down to take the small medicine bottle first. As he picked it up, he opened the bottle. Inside lay a pill the size of a fingernail. Ji Chen poured it into his hand and gave it a sniff, knowing immediately that this was no ordinary pill; it was a poisonous parasite.

“Soul Devouring Gu.”

Before Ji Chen could ask, Guitong provided the answer. “Eat it. Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you will have to return to this Venerable for the antidote. Otherwise, the parasite will eat your internal organs clean.”

Ji Chen had long heard of the infamous Soul Devouring Gu. It was one of the four most lethal poisonous parasites, yet it was the one with the lowest toxicity. This was because it was non-toxic when it was dormant. However, once it flared up, thousands of insects would swarm within the body, frantically gnawing at the victim’s internal organs.

They gnawed quite slowly, but it was a fate worse than death. Most victims did not die from being eaten but were instead driven to death by the sheer agony. Furthermore, the timing of the flare up was not fixed. In the early stages, there was only a slight pain. If the antidote was taken in time to suppress the parasite, one would be fine. Therefore, the victim had to carry the antidote at all times or stay by the side of the person who possessed the antidote. If one waited until the pain became unbearable to take the medicine, the internal organs would have already been mostly consumed, and it would be too late.

Naturally, Ji Chen did not want to eat this thing. But before he could refuse, the pill seemed to be controlled by someone. It suddenly floated up and forced itself toward his mouth. At the same moment the pill flew over, he opened his mouth uncontrollably. The pill entered his mouth and was shoved into the back of his throat. His throat felt tight and painful. Ji Chen could not spit it out and was ultimately forced to swallow the poisonous pill.

After swallowing, he could only accept it calmly. He knew that even if he did not want to eat it, Guitong had ten thousand ways to force him.

“When you want the antidote, use the jade plate to contact me.”

After Guitong finished this sentence, his body became semi transparent. Then, from head to toe, he slowly turned into red light dust and gradually vanished. In the entire empty stone chamber, only Ji Chen and Yuan Yi remained.
