Guo Shouren had not implanted just one poison, but a mixture of several highly malevolent toxins into Lu Wushuang's body. As Guo Shouren had said, if no antidote was administered within an hour, Lu Wushuang would rot and die. Although Lu Yang had temporarily halted the spread of the toxins with silver needles, they could only hold for three hours. After that, Lu Yang would still be unable to completely purge the toxins from her body, and Lu Wushuang would remain in mortal danger.
Lu Yang immediately began using his silver needles to detoxify, clearing the toxins from Lu Wushuang's body. However, due to the variety of toxins and the fact that a significant portion had already spread, the process was troublesome. Lu Yang spent two hours removing the most lethal toxins, but some residual poisons remained. He would need to perform acupuncture again the next day to clear the rest. For now, Lu Wushuang's body needed to recover on its own overnight, as constant acupuncture for detoxification would be too much for her to bear after enduring such potent poison.
When Lu Yang returned after taking a shower, he found Lu Wushuang had shed all her clothes. She was continuously crying out that she was hot, with beads of sweat covering her forehead.
"What is happening?"
"Could the residue in Lu Wushuang's body be... an aphrodisiac?"
The thought sent a shiver down Lu Yang's spine.
Seeing Lu Yang, Lu Wushuang lunged at him like a tiger spotting a lamb, kissing his neck repeatedly.
"Sir, I can't hold back anymore. Please, fulfill me!"
Lu Wushuang said, her hands already moving.
"Sigh, fine. To save her, I have no other choice!"
Lu Yang finally made up his mind and pushed Lu Wushuang onto the bed.
...
The next day, as the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room, Lu Yang's sleepy eyes fluttered open. The person beside him was gone, leaving only a blood-stained bedsheet.
"Did I... last night, did I... with Wushuang..."
The thought made Lu Yang flustered. After all, this was the first time he had done such a thing in over twenty years. Yet, the physical pleasure left him immensely thrilled and unforgettable.
A few minutes later, Lu Wushuang entered with breakfast.
"Sir, it's time to eat breakfast!"
Lu Wushuang said, her head bowed low, her cheeks flushed red.
"That... last night, I only did that to save you..."
"Please, don't take it to heart!"
Lu Yang hastily explained.
"Sir, Wushuang will not overthink it. Wushuang will only serve you alone for the rest of her life!"
Lu Wushuang immediately replied.
"Forget it, I can't explain it to you. Since it has already happened, you are my person now, and I will take responsibility for you. I, Lu Yang, am not someone who shirks responsibility!"
Lu Yang sighed helplessly and said directly to Lu Wushuang.
"Thank you, Sir!"
Hearing this, Lu Wushuang's eyes lit up, and she immediately thanked him.
Lu Yang waved his hand, inviting Lu Wushuang to sit and eat breakfast with him. After breakfast, Lu Yang took out his silver needles and cleared the remaining toxins from Lu Wushuang's body.
"Let's go. We need to leave here as soon as possible. The Guo family has suffered such a major incident; they will definitely not let this go!"
Lu Yang said to Lu Wushuang.
"Yes, Sir. I know a secret route out of Yanjing that even the Guo family doesn't know about."
Lu Wushuang immediately replied.
"Good!"
Lu Yang nodded. He and Lu Wushuang packed their minimal belongings and headed outside.
As soon as they stepped out, they were being watched and followed.
"We have tails!"
Lu Yang said calmly.
"Don't mind them; they're just minor characters. The real players are likely hidden, waiting for the right moment to act!"
Lu Wushuang said directly. As a female assassin trained by the Guo family, she had a certain understanding of them. In the past, Lu Wushuang had committed many dirty deeds for the Guo family, but after meeting Lu Yang, she decided to turn over a new leaf and start anew, which led to what happened later.
Soon, Lu Wushuang and Lu Yang took a turn and walked into an alleyway.
Yanjing, a special place, had an abundance of alleys within its old streets. The two pursuers, following Lu Yang and Lu Wushuang, were led into the alleys and lost them after a couple of turns.
When Lu Wushuang and Lu Yang emerged, they were already inside a large shopping mall.
They then changed their attire and followed Lu Wushuang's route, leaving Yanjing.
Lu Wushuang had everything prepared for their departure, including identification documents. They were soon safely sent away. Lu Yang, throughout the entire process, remained silent, leaving with Lu Wushuang.
After all, Lu Yang had personally killed Guo Shouren this time. If the Guo family pursued the matter, it would likely be quite troublesome. Although Lu Yang's current status meant he didn't fear the Guo family's pursuit, dealing with such matters would consume valuable time. Lu Yang was on a tight schedule; he needed to go to Jinling to find Huang Zhongtian and assume the position of Vice President of the Huaguo Hongmen General Assembly.
Once he held this position, the entire Hongmen in China would show him utmost respect. Lu Yang's next step would be to consolidate the Huaguo Hongmen, making it independent of the main Hongmen headquarters.
Two hours later, Lu Yang and Lu Wushuang arrived in Jinling.
Jinling, the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, was a place of abundant treasures and outstanding people, where even the air felt sweet.
In the past, Jinling, along with Yanjing and Zhonghai, was among the three great scenic spots of China. However, with the passage of time, Jinling had fallen slightly behind economically, thus not developing as rapidly as Yanjing and Zhonghai. Nevertheless, its historical depth and traditional culture were incomparable to Yanjing and Zhonghai.
Looking at this new environment, Lu Wushuang couldn't help but close her eyes and take a deep breath, savoring the feeling of freedom.
"I've finally left Yanjing!"
Lu Wushuang said excitedly.
"Let's go. We're heading to the Huaguo Hongmen General Assembly!"
Lu Yang said calmly.
"Huaguo Hongmen General Assembly?"
Upon hearing the name, a hint of apprehension flickered in Lu Wushuang's eyes.
Jinling City, as the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, possessed a rich cultural heritage. While not as economically prosperous as Yanjing, it was not far behind. Currently, the Huaguo Hongmen General Assembly was also developing quite well, making it somewhat difficult to cause trouble here.
"That's right!"
Lu Yang stated calmly, offering no further explanation. He and Lu Wushuang hailed a taxi and soon arrived at the Huaguo Hongmen General Assembly.
