If glances could kill, Zhang Wen believed he would have already been executed a thousand times over, flayed alive, and then reduced to ashes scattered in the wind.
What a mess of a relationship! A love triangle?
Zhang Wen shook his head slightly, glancing curiously at the Red Scorpion, Hirlena, who now stood beside him. Her snow-white arm naturally linked with his, as if they were truly intimate.
Of course, Zhang Wen knew this closeness was meant for Silver Fox Andre. But it didn’t matter. The key point was that, when he needed help the most, someone had finally come to support him. It seemed Andre wasn’t entirely useless—after all, he had left behind a few useful connections.
Gao Gan and Mighty Man exchanged glances, both detecting unease in each other’s eyes. Red Scorpion Hirlena, as the Fifth Overlord, was an absolute force beyond doubt. Unlike Silver Fox Andre, who was famous for his cunning strategies, Hirlena was a top-tier powerhouse, as mighty as the Thunder God Omega—a power based purely on brute strength.
“My Queen, don’t confront her directly—we’ll be at a disadvantage!” Gao Gan whispered cautiously into the Queen’s ear. They were joking if they thought they could win. Though all three of them were Sainthood-level or above, nearly reaching the Overlord level, that tiny gap still meant a completely different realm. In an actual fight, the Overlord would definitely dominate them.
“Don’t talk nonsense!” The Queen’s eyes, burning with hatred, swept coldly over him, instantly silencing Gao Gan. Compared to Hirlena, he feared angering the Queen even more.
“Hirlena, let’s settle this once and for all! The winner will have the right to deal with Andre!” The Queen narrowed her eyes, her fox-like allure fully revealed. Countless golden playing cards swirled around her, her aura rising steadily.
“As you wish,” the Red Scorpion replied calmly, folding her fan and handing it to Zhang Wen. “Hold this for me.” She released her arm from around Zhang Wen and walked toward the Queen in high heels.
An invisible pressure field formed between them, their killing intent locking together. Gao Gan nervously glanced between the Queen and the composed Hirlena, unsure of what to do.
Just as the battle between the Queen and the Red Scorpion seemed about to erupt, suddenly, and to everyone’s shock, Mighty Man made the first move. Innumerable battle blades shot forth from his muscles. Battle energy surged between the muscle fibers, causing his entire body to expand and swell.
If Mighty Man had previously appeared as a thin man, in that instant, he transformed into a muscular bodybuilder, glowing with bronze-like radiance.
“Battle energy… one hundred percent unleashed!” With a strained breath, Gao Gan stared in disbelief as Mighty Man lunged at the Red Scorpion before the Queen could act.
Though his body appeared like a clumsy mass of muscles, this sudden burst was surprisingly swift—like a cannonball fired from a gun. The massive cleaver in his hands swung as lightly as a sheet of paper toward Hirlena.
No one would dare underestimate Mighty Man’s attack, nor ignore his heavy axe. The speed and power of that strike seemed capable of tearing the air in two.
The axe’s downward swing generated a blazing trail of light and countless sparks flying through the air. Even an Overlord might struggle to withstand its edge.
“Mighty Man!” The Queen and Gao Gan cried out in unison.
Watching the scene unfold, Zhang Wen felt tension for the Red Scorpion. After all, she had just saved him, and was now in danger because of him. If he were facing such a ferocious strike from Mighty Man, his only option would be to evade using speed.
But seeing Hirlena still standing there so calmly, Zhang Wen’s heart was in his throat.
The wind surged with the axe’s descent, blowing Hirlena’s dark golden curls into a dance. As the muscle-bulging Mighty Man neared delivering a fatal blow, Zhang Wen had already prepared to dash forward at full speed to rescue the Red Scorpion—when she finally moved.
She extended a single finger—calmly.
Her index finger touched the axe blade.
In that moment, the scene seemed to freeze. Mighty Man’s powerful attack, the axe’s descent full of force and speed, halted completely.
All the energy was stopped by just one of Hirlena’s slender, elegant fingers—as though she had pressed a time button.
The next second, brilliant psionic energy erupted from her fingertip.
The axe in Mighty Man’s hands shattered piece by piece, and in a dazzling red explosion, it was sent flying back toward him.
“Boom!!!”
Everyone helplessly watched as Mighty Man was struck by countless fragments of the shattered axe, carried backward by the crimson psionic energy wave. He flew over thirty meters, crashing into the bushes and disappearing from sight.
Gao Gan’s face turned deathly pale.
The Queen’s face darkened.
They all knew Overlords were powerful, but none had expected the Red Scorpion to be this strong—stopping a fully unleashed Mighty Man with just one finger.
Gao Gan’s chubby face trembled, his expression suddenly turning resolute. He shouted at the Queen, “Your Majesty, you go first! Check if Mighty Man is dead or not. I’ll hold her off!”
“You…” The Queen glanced at the approaching Hirlena and then at the determined Gao Gan, her heart filled with pain and conflict. Andre was right in front of her, yet ruined by the Red Scorpion!
“Don’t worry! My strength may not match hers, but I can still protect myself,” Gao Gan patted his oily bald head, firmly planting his weapon—a fishing rod—into the ground. Then, glaring at the approaching Hirlena, he growled, “Don’t underestimate me—I’ll surprise you!”
Nebulous battle energy erupted from his round body. In the next moment, countless silver threads shot from his body, forming a cocoon. These threads were all condensed battle energy.
This was Gao Gan’s life-saving technique!
The Celestial Silkworm Cocoon!
Known as absolute defense, impervious to any physical or energy attack unless all the millions of specially strengthened energy threads could be destroyed at once.
The Queen felt slightly reassured and finally gritted her teeth, speeding toward the woods where Mighty Man had disappeared.
“Trying to escape from my presence… Red Scorpion?” Hirlena’s cold face showed a hint of mockery. Her body seemed to shrink space itself, instantly appearing behind the Queen. She extended her index finger toward the Queen’s spine.
Zhang Wen’s Spring Water Method suddenly accelerated, as if sensing something. He finally saw it—Hirlena’s slender finger wasn’t the true source of power. In the air, invisible to the naked eye, a crimson, scorpion-tail-shaped energy mass surrounded her finger, like a venomous scorpion’s stinger striking out.
A killing blow toward the Queen!
“I’ll die with you!”
A furious shout rang out as the Queen’s body erupted with golden battle energy, nearly reaching Overlord-level power. Countless golden playing cards spun from her hands, releasing destructive forces capable of annihilating everything.
Facing the Red Scorpion’s pursuit, the Queen chose to gamble everything!
“Boom!”
Battle energy and psionic energy collided instantly.
Zhang Wen, focusing his spiritual power, saw illusions in the air—an enormous crimson scorpion tail colliding with countless miniature suns, emitting energy beams like exploding stars.
The next moment, all the suns were annihilated. The scorpion tail pierced through relentlessly.
Innumerable golden playing cards shattered and exploded, golden starlight scattering like fireworks in the night. The invisible psionic energy struck the Queen’s back, sending her body flying like a cannonball into the dense bushes, disappearing from sight.
Gao Gan let out a heart-wrenching scream. He followed the Queen partly out of admiration for her strength, and partly due to secret affection. Seeing her severely wounded by the Red Scorpion, his blood boiled, and without thinking of the consequences, he lunged toward Hirlena.
The energy threads around his body grew thicker and thicker, almost concealing his face.
Gao Gan decided that even if it cost him all his strength, he would drag the Red Scorpion down with him—entangling her to death in endless battle threads, like prey caught in a spider’s web suffocating.
His small eyes flashed with intense killing intent. But before he could reach optimal attack range, he saw the calm Hirlena stamp her foot and softly utter a few words.
“Come out, my little pet. It’s time to exercise.”
“Boom!”
A massive purplish-red scorpion tail erupted from the ground like a towering lighthouse. Gao Gan hadn’t even reacted before he was struck by the tail and sent flying, vanishing from sight.
Battle threads could block physical and energy attacks, but only up to a certain strength. When the force reached a terrifying level, no defense could withstand absolute power.
With a rumbling sound, the long scorpion tail twisted, and the massive scorpion body slowly emerged from the earth.
It was a purplish-red giant scorpion, dozens of meters long.
Its tall tail rose section by section, curving downward, dripping with deadly venom.
Red Scorpion Hirlena calmly sat atop the scorpion, like a queen seated on her throne!
She supported her chin with one hand, while the other extended gently. Her usually cold face suddenly broke into a charming smile as she crooked her finger at Zhang Wen.
“Come on up.”
Zhang Wen looked at the fan in his hand, then at the massive scorpion lying on the ground like a moving castle. Shrugging, he leapt lightly onto the scorpion’s head, standing before Hirlena.
“Here’s your fan,” he handed the fan over, taking the opportunity to examine the woman more closely.
She appeared no older than twenty, exuding charm, a perfect blend of ice and fire.
Under her dark golden curls was a flawless face, seemingly sculpted by the world’s finest artist. Every curve, every inch, followed the golden ratio.
Combined, it formed a face no man could resist.
Most of the time, she didn’t smile, her cold face hiding eyes as wild and seductive as untamed roses.
But when she looked at Zhang Wen, her face rarely showed a charming smile, though her eyes remained icy, as if covered in unmelting frost.
Zhang Wen didn’t know much about the Red Scorpion Hirlena, but it didn’t matter—she would surely tell him something.
He silently watched her take the fan, waiting for her next move.
“…Andre, you’ve changed so much I almost didn’t recognize you,” Hirlena said, sitting elegantly with the fan gently sliding across her pale cheek, finally resting under her smooth chin. Her sapphire-blue eyes fixed on Zhang Wen, cold like unyielding sapphires.
Her lips curled into an enchanting smile, revealing pearly white teeth.
Zhang Wen noticed her fingers—each nail carefully manicured, extending half an inch, dyed a vivid rose red, exuding both allure and danger.
He scratched his nose. “Hmm, if I told you I’m not Andre, would you believe me?”
Hirlena blinked, her beautiful eyes widening. After a few seconds, her cold face softened into a deadly charm. “Hehe… If you’re not Silver Fox Andre, then who are you? Don’t try to fool me. Even after decades, I’d still recognize your scent.”
Her fan snapped open, hiding half her face. Her shimmering eyes fixed on Zhang Wen, growing colder.
“Don’t worry. We’ll settle our old debts one by one. I won’t make you suffer too much…”
Zhang Wen listened, increasingly uneasy. He calmly asked, “What exactly were we to each other?” Since she wouldn’t believe he wasn’t Andre, he might as well play along for now.
Hirlena gracefully stood, displaying her graceful curves. Her skirt flared like blooming petals with her movement. She extended a slender, delicate hand, gently resting it on Zhang Wen’s shoulder, whispering provocatively, “We were lovers…” Her voice paused, then suddenly turned cold. “But since you schemed to steal my position as the Fifth Overlord and fled after failing, we’ve become enemies.”
Her icy blue eyes swept across Zhang Wen’s face as Hirlena playfully caressed his cheek. “I wonder how you did it? Changing into this youthful face—it makes me want you. I wonder if your body is just as young…” Her fan in her right hand pressed against his chest, slowly sliding downward.
“I think about you every day, longing to drain your blood drop by drop, to torture you endlessly. I can’t even sleep, my hatred burning inside me so painfully…” Her voice was sweet and tender, sounding like a lover’s coquetry to the untrained ear, but only those who listened carefully could sense the deep hatred hidden within.
At this point, Zhang Wen finally understood the complex relationship between the Fifth Overlord Hirlena and Silver Fox Andre. Once again, he had to bear the burden of that dead man’s sins—an injustice he couldn’t explain, nor would she believe.
Internally sighing bitterly, Zhang Wen subtly activated the Spring Water Method, heightening his alertness. He asked coolly, “If you hate me so much, why did you save me from the Queen earlier?”
“Of course,” Hirlena’s nose gently brushed against Zhang Wen’s neck as she inhaled deeply, her face showing ecstasy. “You’re my possession. You can only die by my hands. What is the Queen to me?” Her tongue suddenly extended, lightly licking the artery on Zhang Wen’s neck, sending a shiver through his entire body.
“Hehe… you’re still so sensitive,” Syllena said smugly, lifting her chin as she stared at Zhang Wen’s figure. Her icy eyes gradually ignited, as if flames of desire were burning within.
“Your vigilance has deteriorated so much? If it were the old you, you’d have tried to escape at least three times by now, wouldn’t you?” She lightly pushed Zhang Wen’s chest, adjusting her posture from leaning against him to standing upright again. “Even now, haven’t you noticed anything strange with your body?”
Zhang Wen slightly furrowed his brow. He realized his body had become sluggish. Probably due to the doubled gravity within this forest, he hadn’t noticed it before. But with Syllena’s reminder, he sensed something was off. There seemed to be an unusual force surging within him.
It was a scorching heat, rising from his lower abdomen and spreading throughout his limbs like molten lava, unstoppable and overwhelming.
Zhang Wen attempted to expel this strange sensation using the Spring Water Technique, only to find that even the Spring Water Technique had been infected. It burned fiercely alongside, emitting intense signals of desire.
His breathing became suddenly coarse, his mouth dry, and he realized even his gaze toward Syllena was filled with naked desire. This was a situation he would never normally experience. He had always maintained excellent self-control regarding lust; unless he wanted to, even facing a naked woman would leave him completely calm. But now, everything was different. Something inside his body—seemed like an aphrodisiac flame—was igniting every drop of desire within his blood!
His eyes gradually turned red, his scorching breath quickened, and his heartbeat thundered like galloping horses.
“You’ve forgotten my nickname, haven’t you? Besides ‘Red Scorpion,’ I’m also a master of poisons,” Syllena said coquettishly, covering the lower half of her face with a fan, her eyes glowing with excitement as she savored Zhang Wen’s discomfort. His face was flushed red, like a fully cooked shrimp, sweat continuously seeping from his forehead.
“Must be quite painful to hold back, right? I used the most potent aphrodisiac mist on you. Your body must be out of control by now?” Amid her cold mockery, Syllena suddenly extended her left hand, grabbing Zhang Wen’s hardened member, a cruel smile playing on her lips. “I’ll play with your body thoroughly before killing you… when I’m done.”
Her flawless and cold face brimmed with provocative charm, like a blooming crimson rose. Yet within her icy blue eyes flowed not desire, but cold hatred.
In the next moment, she shoved the stiff Zhang Wen onto the back of the giant scorpion, then lifted her qipao hem, revealing her long, seductive white legs as she straddled him.
“Andre, the pain you brought me, today I’ll take it back tenfold, a hundredfold!” Her eyes filled with cold mockery, Syllena leaned down, lifting her beautiful buttocks, extending her tongue to slowly lick Zhang Wen’s neck and earlobes.
“Enjoy yourself, my stimulation will only make the desire inside you more intense. If you don’t release it fully, it will eventually burn you to ashes…”
Watching Zhang Wen’s pained expression, Syllena breathed excitedly, her enchanting blue eyes narrowing.
The giant scorpion obeyed Syllena’s command, lying still. On its purple-red shell back, Zhang Wen lay on his back as Syllena rode him like a queen, breathing excitedly.
Her perfect, round buttocks, from behind, looked like a fully ripened peach, grinding slowly against Zhang Wen’s sensitive crotch.
Zhang Wen had never encountered such a situation before—Andre’s former lover, turned enemy, wanting to rape and then kill him in revenge for Andre?! Zhang Wen endured the pain of burning desire, feeling his blood was about to boil, white hot breath escaping from his nose and throat.
Every inch of his body felt like it was being cut by knives. Yet, in contrast, his lower body grew harder and more erect, almost wanting to pierce through his pants and into Syllena’s body.
This devilish woman!
Though filled with hatred, she insisted on taking revenge in the most intimate way! It must be said that Syllena, the Red Scorpion, was indeed twisted. A man and a woman’s most sensitive areas rubbing together—Zhang Wen, under the influence of the aphrodisiac, couldn’t bear it, and Syllena herself was also feeling it. Waves of electric tingling pleasure radiated from her thighs.
Unconsciously, a flush of passion rose on her pale, cold face, her eyes hazy with desire, her cherry lips parting slightly, letting out soft moans.
Her fingers instinctively clawed at Zhang Wen’s body, her sharp nails tearing his clothes into slits, then leaving trails of bright red blood on his skin.
Smelling the blood, Syllena became even more excited. Her eyes filled with seduction, she licked her thirsty lips toward Zhang Wen, slightly lifting her body. Her right hand moved toward Zhang Wen’s crotch, her nail lightly slicing.
“Hisss!” Instantly the fabric tore, releasing Zhang Wen’s manhood. Then she reached under her own skirt, gently hooking a finger.
Zhang Wen clearly heard a snapping sound amid the torment of desire. It seemed Syllena had torn off her own underwear.
Zhang Wen finally couldn’t help but stare at her in shock. This woman, could she actually be serious? Revenge didn’t need to go this far! As he looked on, Syllena slowly lowered her body, intimately rubbing against his hardness. Rotating left and right, sometimes lifting slightly, each movement teased Zhang Wen into a frenzy of desire, all his blood seemingly rushing to that one point.
Electric waves of stimulation radiated out from the most shameful parts of their bodies. Zhang Wen couldn’t help gasping heavily, his eyes filling with bloodshot veins, desire attacking his consciousness.
Syllena was also beginning to feel the strain. A charming flush rose onto her pale jade-like face, even her smooth, white earlobes turning red. Sweat beaded slightly on her nose as she turned her head, suppressing a moan of pleasure escaping from her nose. Her hands propped behind her, her body leaning back, making her full chest even more prominent.
Her lower body moved up and down on Zhang Wen’s lap, both bodies enduring the torment of pleasure, both longing for further fusion. Their heartbeats and breathing became chaotic, saliva abundantly secreted. Their minds felt dizzy, as if deprived of oxygen.
Yet Syllena still skillfully controlled the situation, merely rubbing back and forth without crossing the final boundary. She did it on purpose, deliberately using this method to torture Zhang Wen, making him crave yet unable to attain, increasing his pain further.
