"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Ruanhong glared at Xiao Yun, feeling a chill in her heart.
Through a layer of Black Veil, Xiao Yun could see clearly. Her delicate and fair face was flushed with a rosy hue, giving her an alluring appearance.
He couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart; this woman was indeed a natural beauty, just misguided. If he could win over this Fragrant Beauty, it would surely be interesting.
He squinted and leaned close to her ear, whispering, "Ruanhong, don't you feel a surge of wicked fire burning within you? It seems like a feeling that gnaws at your heart and bones. You know, only a man like me who understands how to cherish beauty can save you!"
"You..." Lu Ruanhong was filled with both shame and anger, scolding loudly, "Get away from me! I'm not sick, and I don't know who this Ruanhong is that you're talking about!"
Whoosh!
Xiao Yun suddenly reached out and unexpectedly pulled down the Black Veil covering her face.
As Lu Ruanhong froze for a moment, he chuckled lightly and said, "It's broad daylight; are you trying to play the female bandit? Why are you afraid to show your true face?"
"I... you..."
Revealing her true self in front of Xiao Yun made Lu Ruanhong feel extremely embarrassed and furious. Due to the burning wicked fire within her, her eyes shot out an eerie crimson glow.
To Master Xiao's eyes, however, this was quite delightful.
"Ruanhong, let's see how you can hide from me now!" Master Xiao grinned widely.
Ruanhong?
How sweet it sounded when he called her that.
Lü Ruanhong's mouth twitched in frustration, feeling extremely annoyed inside.
"You... how did you know it was me?" Lü Ruanhong stammered.
In front of this man, Lü Ruanhong felt utterly unfortunate. In the Spring City Grand Hotel, she had been defeated by him in just one round; and now, it seemed she was about to fall into his hands again.
The reason Lü Ruanhong sometimes wore a veil when going out was that during special missions, she did not want to reveal her true identity as Lü Ruanhong, a Shadow Brother of the Shadow Empire. After all, she still had some influence in Mingzhu, and there were quite a few people who knew her.
She could never figure out how Xiao Yun knew their whereabouts. Did the leopard discover him while tracking him yesterday?
Xiao Yun smiled casually and said, "Haven't you heard the saying from the Ancient People? 'Without the colorful phoenix's wings to fly together, our hearts are connected.' I knew from our first meeting yesterday that we were in sync. Even though your face is covered by a veil, I could tell it was you by my intuition. My dear, am I right?"
"You..." Lü Ruanhong was so angry that she was speechless. She couldn't imagine what kind of weirdo this guy was; his skin was thicker than a city wall.
Xiao Yun continued with a playful grin, "Ruanhong, I know you have deep feelings for me. Today I'm returning to the Galactic District, and you originally wanted to see me off. But considering we are only acquaintances and your shy nature, you had no choice but to secretly send me off. Sigh, my dear, your every move touches me deeply. Come here, dear, let me give you the most passionate kiss—a French kiss!"
As he spoke, he opened his arms and lunged toward Lü Ruanhong.
"You bastard..."
Lü Ruanhong was both embarrassed and furious and hurriedly dodged to the side.
"Don't be angry; be careful of spontaneous human combustion!" Xiao Yun laughed brightly as he missed his target.
In fact, when Xiao Yun first met Lü Ruanhong yesterday afternoon, he had used his Spiritual Sense not only to identify her as a Fragrant Bone Woman but also to detect the virus hidden within her Bone.
This virus came from a flower with a peculiar name called Beauty's Disrobing.
The flower was white with a hint of pink, had slightly long stems resembling the body of a woman, and emitted a captivating fragrance. With a few green leaves accompanying it, it looked like green clothing being removed, hence its name Beauty's Disrobing.
Beauty's Disrobing is a peculiar flower that typically grows beside cliffs in deep mountains and forests, making it difficult for ordinary people to find.
In traditional Chinese folklore, the Fragrant Bone Woman is considered an ominous being. On a smaller scale, she brings misfortune to her parents; on a larger scale, she brings disaster to the nation and its people.
Generally, families do not wish to keep such daughters when they are born.
However, there are parents who cannot bear to part with them, like Lü Ruanhong's parents.
When their daughter was born, the room was filled with a lingering fragrance that did not dissipate. Everyone felt it was strange, but an elder with experience soon revealed the Heavenly Secrets: the Lü family had given birth to a Fragrant Bone Woman.
The Fragrant Bone Woman, also known as Fragrant Beauty, means that this type of girl, when she grows up, will not only be enchanting and different from others but will also possess a body fragrance that captivates all men, causing them to lose their senses. Such women are purely a calamity for the world, a Freak.
It is said that the last queen of the Shang Dynasty, Daji, the Consort Bao during the Western Zhou when the feudal lords were entertained with fire, and even Yang Guifei during the Tang Dynasty were all Fragrant Bone Women. Their presence led to chaotic reigns and suffering among the people, resulting in widespread warfare and near destruction of nations and families.
Lü Ruanhong's parents were both highly educated intellectuals. Regardless of what others said, they could not abandon their own flesh and blood and were determined to raise her into adulthood.
The Fragrant Bone Woman might be a condition that could potentially be cured. They took their daughter to numerous hospitals across the country, but doctors were at a loss.
Eventually, they found an Old Chinese Medicine Doctor in a remote mountain area who seemed to have a solution. This doctor prescribed a medicine made from Beauty's Disrobing.
The Old Chinese Medicine Doctor told them that this medicine could control the fragrance within their daughter's bones. If taken long-term, it could completely eliminate the unusual scent from her body.
It seems that this Old Chinese Medicine Doctor was somewhat of a novice or perhaps just an amateur. He was partially correct; Beauty's Disrobing does have the effect of controlling bone fragrance, but its side effects are severe as it contains potent toxins.
Lü Ruanhong's parents did not understand this. They brought back many doses of the medicine and mixed it with breast milk for their daughter to consume over three years.
Initially, it appeared effective; the unusual fragrance surrounding their daughter disappeared. However, unbeknownst to them, the toxicity of Beauty's Disrobing accumulated within her body and invaded her marrow.
By the time Lü Ruanhong reached adulthood, the controlling effect of Beauty's Disrobing had completely dissipated. The unusual fragrance hidden in her bones not only reappeared but became even more intense. The only way to prevent this scent from emanating from her body was to remain still or lie flat on her bed.
What made Lu Ruanhong even more unbearable was that her emotions could not be stimulated. Once she became enraged, the unusual fragrance within her seemed to transform into a wave of evil fire, blocking up in her bones, causing an unbearable sensation akin to burning her heart and corroding her bones. The heat in her heart gradually spread throughout her body, until flames burst forth from her.
This phenomenon was generally referred to as spontaneous human combustion. Fortunately, this self-ignition caused no harm to the body; however, in that moment, it could turn the clothes she wore into ashes.
This had happened to her more than once or twice. If she were alone, it would be manageable, but if such an incident occurred in public, she would be left completely exposed before everyone.
Because of this, there were countless times when she felt like giving up on life.
In order to cure this peculiar condition, Lu Ruanhong had no choice but to follow the leads provided by her parents and return to the deep mountains to seek out that Old Chinese Medicine Doctor again. However, upon reaching her destination, the locals informed her that the Old Chinese Medicine Doctor had passed away many years ago.
Fortunately, guided by the mountain people, she managed to find the master of that Old Chinese Medicine Doctor, nicknamed Yun Zhongzi.
After hearing Lu Ruanhong's purpose for visiting, Yun Zhongzi repeatedly slapped his thigh and scolded his deceased disciple for being a charlatan who misled others. He stated that Beauty's Disrobing could only provide temporary relief for the Fragrant Bone Woman and could not eradicate the problem at its root. The toxin had already infiltrated her bone marrow; to completely cure it would require a full bone replacement. With current medical technology, neither traditional Chinese medicine nor Western medicine could offer any hope.
However, the Old Chinese Medicine Doctor still provided her with a prescription: to use the bodily fluids of beautiful girls with pure yin bodies to soak cigarettes. Whenever she felt internal restlessness, smoking one of these cigarettes would immediately alleviate the heat within her.
Aside from this method, there were no other effective remedies.
After returning and trying it out, Lu Ruanhong found it remarkably effective. Additionally, she discovered that smoking these cigarettes not only helped eliminate her inner heat but also allowed her to control the intensity of the fragrance emanating from her body at will—whether strong or light, she could adjust it freely.
As a result, Lu Ruanhong utilized her unique body fragrance along with the martial arts skills she had learned to create a unique technique. No matter how skilled a man was, she could defeat him effortlessly.
She resembled a special kind of animal; before launching an attack on you, she would use the fragrance emanating from her body to quickly confuse your senses. While you were disoriented and unable to discern your surroundings, she and her assistant would have already captured you.
Back at Capital Dance Academy, Lu Ruanhong had participated in underground boxing matches multiple times under the alias Zeng Can. Those self-proclaimed boxing champions would fall at her feet in less than two rounds of combat.
Today, Lu Ruanhong intended to leverage this advantage to unexpectedly take down Xiao Yun.
However, she never anticipated that the painting appearing in the car would completely ruin her plans.
Xiao Yun seemed to know her every move. Just as she was about to give up on her plan, he suddenly appeared right in front of her.
Human spontaneous combustion?
The words slipped from Xiao Yun's mouth, causing Lu Ruanhong's heart to skip a beat.
How did he know that such a phenomenon would occur to her?
An unprecedented fear surged within her.
"You’re talking nonsense! What human spontaneous combustion? I don’t understand what you’re saying!" Lu Ruanhong felt an overwhelming urge to lash out and bite the man in front of her to death.
But she didn't have the strength; that heat had already spread throughout her body.
Xiao Yun grinned wickedly, "Beautiful lady, how about you perform a Beauty's Disrobing show for me right now? Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
In front of this bizarre man, Lu Ruanhong was on the verge of losing her mind, shouting in anger.
