"Recently, a scientific expedition team from a certain research institute discovered an ancient tomb from the Jin Dynasty on an island in the eastern part of our country. Preliminary investigations suggest that the tomb was built during the Long'en to Yuanxing period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and is highly likely to belong to Sun En, the leader of the Five Pecks of Rice Rebellion active during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, known as the Narcissus!"
On a television at a street stall, an archaeological program from a central channel was playing. The screen showed the glamorous host Wang Bingbing, with heavy makeup, holding a microphone at an archaeological site. Beside her stood a middle-aged man with glasses, exuding an elegant demeanor.
Not far away, the main chamber of the ancient tomb had been mostly excavated, revealing two ancient-looking large jars. The mouths of the two jars were facing each other, fitting together tightly.
"Huh, Professor Sun. Why are there jars instead of a coffin?" Wang Bingbing asked curiously.
Professor Sun calmly replied, "This should be jar burial, also known as seated jar burial. Some religious figures in our country, such as certain practitioners from Buddhism and Taoism, would have their bodies treated by their disciples after death and placed in a specially prepared large jar. Then, another jar would be placed on top. They believed that the soul could ascend through the holes made at the mouth and bottom of the jars!"
At this moment, the camera gave a close-up of the two large jars. They were black jars with surfaces carved with countless fierce beast patterns, the edges of their mouths shimmering with a silver sheen. Dozens of somewhat faded spirit talismans were stuck on the surface, swaying continuously as the archaeologists dug.
"There are even talismans stuck on them. Maybe there are zombies inside!" A young man eating noodles at the street stall couldn't help but chuckle. The young man had a rather handsome face and a tall figure, though his cheap suit was a bit of a letdown.
The street stall owner, who was cooking noodles but had been listening to the TV, laughed and said, "Xiao Chen, you've watched too many of Lin Zhengying's ghost movies. Where would zombies come from these days!"
"True, there are no zombies in this real world, only people who eat people!" The young man gave a bitter laugh, quickly slurping up the noodles from his bowl.
"Boss, I left the money under the bowl!" After a few minutes, the young man took out a five-yuan bill, placed it under the noodle bowl, grabbed a few napkins to wipe his mouth, and said to the street stall owner.
The street vendor merely raised his hand, and the last image the young man saw as he left the stall was the two seated jars being carefully opened by archaeologists. Inside, there was a desiccated corpse dressed in Taoist robes, seated in a meditative posture, surrounded by five small jars sealed with spiritual talismans. Whether it was an illusion or not, the young man felt as though the five small jars were trembling slightly.
"It must just be the vibrations from the archaeological team's excavation. The Eastern Jin Dynasty was thousands of years ago; even a turtle would have died without food or water by now. Instead of worrying about that, I should be more concerned about how many deals I can close today," the young man laughed self-deprecatingly.
The young man's name was Chen Qichao, a working youth currently residing in the eastern suburbs of S City. His parents lived in the neighboring H City, and he himself was now a salesman at an insurance company. However, his eloquence wasn't particularly outstanding, and he lacked connections in the city, so he was almost always at the bottom of the performance rankings every month. This led his superior, Manager Xie, to threaten that if his performance didn't improve this month, he would have to pack up and leave.
Yet, while ideals are plump, reality is always bony. After a busy day wasting countless words, Chen Qichao hadn't managed to close a single deal. He could only drag his exhausted body through the subway doors. As a young man working alone in a foreign city, he had no choice but to live in a far-flung suburb. Chen Qichao's current residence was in the most remote old-style apartment building in the eastern suburbs.
From his home to the company, he first had to walk for ten minutes, then take a bus to the subway station, transfer twice across sixteen stops, and walk another ten-plus minutes to finally arrive. Therefore, Chen Qichao had to get up at six every morning, and by the time he got home at night, it was usually already seven or eight. If he had to work overtime, it would be even later.
By the time he dragged his weary body up the stairs of the apartment building, the sky was already pitch black. Moreover, because it was an old-style apartment building, the elevator was prone to breaking down every now and then. To save on rent, Chen Qichao had chosen the eleventh floor, just below the top floor. Looking at the few windows with lights on, he took a deep breath and pressed the elevator button for the eleventh floor. Fortunately, the elevator was somewhat functional today, and with a series of clanging sounds, it finally stopped at the eleventh floor.
As the elevator doors opened, a sudden wave of fragrant air hit Chen Qichao, who was slightly taken aback to see a beautiful young woman in a gray sweater standing before him. Upon seeing Chen Qichao, the woman also paused for a moment before quickly flashing a concerned smile, 'Working late again today?'
The beautiful young woman appeared to be under thirty, with a lovely face and a petite yet curvaceous figure. Her long, black, and beautiful hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head. She had a classic oval face, with carefully groomed, slender, and dark eyebrows, and a pair of almond-shaped eyes that were gentle and charming, exuding a delicate and pretty aura. Her nose was exquisitely cute, and her soft, rosy lips were irresistibly tempting.
Her rounded chin accentuated her swan-like, fair, and straight neck. Dressed in a gray knitted sweater and a goose-yellow pleated skirt, she looked exceptionally sexy and alluring. Despite her petite stature, her chest was remarkably prominent, stretching the gray knitted sweater into a beautifully curved silhouette. Her abdomen was also voluptuous, plump yet not overweight.
The curves of the beautiful young woman's body transitioned into two firm and rounded buttocks at the waist, causing the goose-yellow pleated skirt to bulge high. Her legs, encased in crystal-clear, flesh-toned stockings, exuded an enticing aura. As for her ten delicate, silkworm-like toes and her pinkish-white lotus feet, they were nestled in a pair of bright red, pointed-toe high heels.
Normally, hearing such concern from a stunning beauty would make anyone's heart flutter, perhaps even prompting them to strike up a conversation in hopes of deepening the relationship. However, Chen Qichao displayed a hint of caution. He carefully stepped out of the elevator, noticeably circling around the beautiful young woman, then scratched his head and said with a laugh, 'Uh-huh, yeah, Sister Xu, good evening.'
The woman referred to as Xu Jie, a charming young lady with a flirtatious demeanor, noticed his cautiousness and slight wariness towards her, which briefly cast a shadow of disappointment over her face. Nonetheless, she spoke in a caring tone, 'I bought an old hen today and made some soup. As you know, I live alone and have no one to worry about. Thinking you're also by yourself, I thought maybe I could share some with you.'
It was then that Chen Qichao noticed the thermal container in the charming young lady's hand, presumably containing the chicken soup she had prepared. Although the rumors about the landlady were so bizarre that Chen Qichao was reluctant to engage too much with her, the saying goes that one does not strike a smiling face, especially when the person is thinking of you and has gone out of their way to bring you soup. Chen Qichao quickly reached out with both hands, smiling as he said, 'Thank you so much, Xu Jie!'
Seeing that he accepted her kindness, the charming young lady immediately showed a gentle and joyful smile. As she handed over the thermal container, she deliberately brushed her jade-like fingers against Chen Qichao's palm a few times, then said quite suggestively, 'Aren't you going to invite me into your room for a sit?'
Faced with what was almost an explicit request, Chen Qichao, still a virgin, nearly lost his composure. However, recalling the rumors about Xu Jie, he quickly cooled down. After a few seconds of thought, he hesitantly replied, 'I'm sorry, Xu Jie, but I'm really exhausted today and probably can't entertain you. Another day, I promise I'll visit you!'
Hearing his response, Xu Jie's face showed unmistakable disappointment. Yet, after a moment, she forced a smile and said, 'It's okay, don't overwork yourself. If you wear yourself out, I'd feel heartbroken too!'
The more the landlady Xu Jie spoke like this, the more guilty Chen Qichao felt. Just as he was wavering over whether to disregard the so-called rumors and engage in a thrilling one-night stand with the landlady, Xu Jie stepped into the elevator. With a somewhat bitter smile, she said, 'Well, little brother Chen, you get some good rest. If you need anything, just call your sister!'
'I...' Chen Qichao reached out as if to say something, but the elevator doors had already closed. All his unspoken words eventually turned into a sigh...
Chen Qichao's landlady is named Xu Wan, who, true to her name, is gentle, kind, beautiful, and has an enviable figure. However, now nearly thirty, she remains single. It's not that she hasn't been married; in fact, all three of her husbands died suddenly within three months of marriage! Many rumors suggest that she carries too much yin energy and is destined to bring misfortune to her husbands. There was one man, a small-time real estate developer, who didn't believe in such superstitions and pursued Xu Wan fervently, almost reaching the point of engagement.
However, on his way out to discuss business one day, as he passed under an overpass, he narrowly escaped death when an overloaded truck crashed through the guardrail and landed on the car in front of his, crushing the driver to death on the spot! The developer immediately broke off the engagement with Xu Wan upon his return, and since then, the rumors of Xu Wan bringing misfortune to her husbands spread like wildfire through the streets and alleys.
Fortunately, Xu Wan inherited some assets from her previous husbands and manages the somewhat dilapidated Chutian Apartment, living a relatively comfortable life. However, the lack of emotional fulfillment and her body entering its prime years made Xu Wan yearn intensely for love and marriage. When the young and handsome Chen Qichao came into her life, her dormant heart began to stir again. It was obvious to everyone that she showed an unusual amount of concern for this down-and-out young man. But rumors followed, and Chen Qichao learned about Xu Wan's supposed curse. Being a well-educated young man, he didn't believe in such supernatural tales and paid no attention to them.
But as he grew closer to Xu Wan, Chen Qichao's luck took a turn for the worse. Both his work and personal life became fraught with difficulties and setbacks, forcing him to keep his distance from Xu Wan. Despite Xu Wan's unwavering efforts, Chen Qichao dared not accept her kindness.
"Could I have really made a mistake?" Chen Qichao murmured to himself, standing still with a thermal lunchbox in his hands.
Returning to his humble abode, Chen Qichao turned on the light, changed into slippers, placed the thermal box on the dining table, and then took out yesterday's leftovers from the refrigerator, throwing them into the pot to mix together before adding oil to stir-fry. This dish was dubbed 'Magical Fried Rice' by his childhood friend Liu Daguo, because it tasted different every time. By the time he carried the mysterious fried rice back to the dining table, another ten minutes had passed. Chen Qichao turned on the TV, intending to watch some mindless soap opera while eating, but instead found the same central channel he had seen in the morning, only this time it was broadcasting an emergency news alert.
"We interrupt with an urgent news bulletin. Just moments ago, a convoy transporting artifacts from the Eastern Jin Dynasty Sun En's tomb on an East Sea island was robbed by a criminal organization. Some of the artifacts in the vehicle are missing, particularly the remains of the tomb's owner, Sun En, and five animal-patterned Yin-Yang altars from the Eastern Jin period that were buried with him. The police have issued a warning..."
"Wow, criminals these days are getting too bold, even with security companies and shotguns around, they still managed to rob the artifact convoy," Chen Qichao muttered in shock as he opened the thermal box and scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup.
But he failed to notice the scalding steam rising from the chicken soup, which, as he moved, went straight into his delicate throat, causing Chen Qichao to let out a scream of pain immediately.
"Ouch... ow... it's so hot!" Chen Qichao mumbled, holding his tongue that had been scalded into blisters. "Looks like I should keep my distance from Sister Xu..."
Just as Chen Qichao was suffering from the scalding chicken soup, a mutation capable of altering the entire human society was quietly unfolding across China and even the entire world...
＊＊＊ ＊＊＊ ＊＊＊
"Chen Qichao, you're fired," said Manager Xie, a portly man with a large head and ears, to Chen Qichao, who was standing in the office with his head down awaiting reprimand.
Chen Qichao never expected to be fired outright. Although his performance had always been at the bottom, he hadn't made any major mistakes. Normally, he should have been given a two-week notice to prepare.
"Manager Xie, what exactly have I done to warrant being fired directly?" Chen Qichao asked, his face full of grievance.
Manager Xie sneered, "Sexually harassing a colleague in the office is enough to get you fired, isn't it!"
"What, sexual harassment? Who did I sexually harass?" Chen Qichao was stunned. He had thought of countless reasons, but never this one.
"Of course, it's me!" A seductive and flirtatious female voice suddenly came from outside the door. Chen Qichao turned to see a stunningly beautiful woman in a pink bodycon dress, with a voluptuous figure and revealing cleavage, walking in.
Chen Qichao knew it was Yan Yan, Manager Xie's secretary. He immediately understood what was happening. Both Yan Yan and Manager Xie were married, but they had an affair outside, which Chen Qichao accidentally discovered. Knowing that Manager Xie was the brother-in-law of the company's big boss, he wouldn't let this leak out, so he fired Chen Qichao to silence him!
He wanted to argue, but Manager Xie was clearly prepared. With a wave of his hand, two burly security guards barged in. Although Chen Qichao was tall, he chose to yield in the face of trained professionals. As he left the company carrying his meager belongings in a cardboard box, he was met with harsh ridicule and scorn.
"Hey, did you hear? Chen Qichao sexually harassed Secretary Yan and got fired by the manager!"
"Really? He always seemed like such a decent guy! You really can't judge a book by its cover!"
"They say they found Secretary Yan's underwear in his employee locker... Ew! That's disgusting!"
Those who had grudges against him or loved to stir up trouble were happy to fan the flames, and there were plenty of mindless followers. As for those who knew part of the truth, they naturally wouldn't offend the company's favorite, Manager Yan, for the sake of Chen Qichao, who was at the bottom of the performance list. So Chen Qichao left the company amidst insults and mockery.
As he stepped out of the company's doors, Chen Qichao felt lost. He had been in the city for several years but had nothing to show for it. With only a little over three thousand dollars in his bank account, surviving in this financial city was no easy feat. Without a degree from a prestigious university or any special skills, what else could he do?
"Forget it, I'll go to the supermarket to buy some food and daily necessities first. The fridge at home is almost empty, and the toiletries are running low." Chen Qichao shook his head, sighed, and headed towards the nearest supermarket.
When Chen Qichao arrived at the supermarket entrance, he was stunned to see a sea of people with lines stretching all the way to the street corner. He checked his phone to confirm it was indeed a weekday, yet the scene resembled the frantic shopping spree before the New Year. As he squeezed inside, he discovered that essential items like rice, vegetables, fish, meat, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar were all under purchase restrictions today, with prices also increased. After asking around, he learned that a highly contagious disease with an unusually high transmission and mortality rate had broken out in the neighboring district, which was now under lockdown with the army reportedly deployed to assist. There were rumors that the other five districts of S City might also be locked down, prompting the panic buying.
Just as Chen Qichao was about to correct the misconception that the transmission and mortality rates of infectious diseases are often inversely related, it was his turn to make a purchase. He didn't dwell on it, knowing that at the slightest hint of disaster or rumor, people in China would blindly stock up on supplies, a behavior that hadn't changed to this day. Chen Qichao bought a 100-pound bag of rice, two large buckets of cooking oil, and some other seasonings and ingredients. To ensure his survival during the lean days ahead, he also stocked up on a large amount of instant noodles.
For a single man like him, these supplies were enough to last half a month. However, carrying all these by himself was impossible, so Chen Qichao had no choice but to reluctantly take a taxi to transport the goods back to his apartment building.
Lying on the unmade double bed, Chen Qichao felt lost, unsure of how to navigate the days ahead.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated, followed by the ringtone of a pop song. When Chen Qichao looked at the screen, he was momentarily stunned to see just two words.
"Mom!"
After the incident, Chen Qichao had left his hometown, first living with his aunt to complete his studies before moving out to live in the Chutian Apartment until now. During this time, his mother, Yan Tingyue, rarely called. It wasn't a holiday or special occasion, so why was she calling now? With suspicion, Chen Qichao answered the call.
"Hello, Mom..."
"Qichao, how have you been lately?" A woman's voice, cool yet with a hint of warmth, suddenly came through the phone.
Chen Qichao was slightly taken aback. Over the years, whenever his mother called, it was always with a few routine words before hanging up abruptly, never asking about his situation as she did now. Although his recent circumstances weren't great, to avoid worrying his mother, he lied, "I'm doing okay, the business... the business is also doing well, at least enough to support myself."
Yan Tingyue was silent for a moment before saying gently, "That's good, that's good. You're alone out there, take good care of yourself. The weather has turned cold recently, remember to add more clothes, and when you sleep at night..."
The more Chen Qichao listened, the more he felt something was off. Because of that incident years ago, he and his mother had effectively been in a cold war, with the rift between mother and son like a chasm, severing their familial bond. Yet now, his mother Yan Tingyue was showing such concern for him, even caring about his daily needs like when he was a child, giving him the eerie feeling that she was delivering her final words!
"Mom, you too, even with all the overtime, you must take care! I heard there's been a severe infectious disease outbreak in one of the districts near me, and it might reach your area..." Chen Qichao quickly interjected.
The other end of the phone fell silent, and Chen Qichao suddenly sensed something was wrong. After a moment, Yan Tingyue's cool voice spoke again, "I... as a medical worker supporting City S, am about to arrive at the infected area. This time, your mother has signed a life-and-death pledge, the country needs me..."
Chen Qichao's right eyelid twitched violently. His mother, Yan Tingyue, was a renowned doctor in City H. With the outbreak of a large-scale infectious disease, as a key medical staff member, she would undoubtedly be sent to support City S. However, he knew this was no joking matter; over the years, many medical workers had sacrificed their lives in the face of major epidemics. But his mother Yan Tingyue was the type of doctor with an extremely strong sense of responsibility, so she would definitely be the first to sign the life-and-death pledge.
"Does Dad know?" Chen Qichao also fell silent for a moment before asking.
This time, Yan Tingyue didn't hesitate at all, replying, "He knows, and even encouraged me to go."
Chen Qichao didn't doubt his mother's answer for a second. His father, Chen Shouzheng, was a standard retired soldier, his mind filled with notions of family and country. He would certainly praise his mother's actions; if not for his failing health, he would have gone himself.
"Then, Mom, you must be careful!" Chen Qichao wasn't one for eloquent speeches, and after a moment of silence, he managed to blurt out these words.
Yan Tingyue also seemed preoccupied, responding lightly, "I'll be careful."
An awkward silence followed, until a few minutes later when Yan Tingyue said, "Let's leave it at that. I'll come see you once the pandemic is over."
With those words, Yan Tingyue was about to hang up, but Chen Qichao quickly said, "I'm sorry..."
Another uncomfortable silence ensued, with only Chen Qichao continuing, "Mom, what happened back then was all my fault... If I hadn't drunk too much that day, maybe..."
"Enough! We'll settle this when I get back! Hang up!" Yan Tingyue suddenly said coquettishly, then hung up the phone directly.
Yet Chen Qichao wasn't angry, because he felt that his mother had finally returned to speaking to him with emotion, even the scolding at the end was something his mother would do when he made mistakes as a child. Generally speaking, when his mother spoke like this, it meant he was in the clear.
But before Chen Qichao could rejoice for long, his phone rang again. Looking down, he saw the caller ID was "Xiaofei." It was his current girlfriend, Lin Xiaofei. Not daring to delay, he quickly answered the call, and soon Lin Xiaofei's sweet voice came through from the other end.
"Brother Chen, I miss you so much!"
"I miss you too!" Chen Qichao was just about to indulge in some sweet talk with his girlfriend when her next words caused his expression to change.
"My mom has been pushing us about marriage lately. She said... she said you should hurry up and send over the 500,000 betrothal gift..." Lin Xiaofei's voice grew softer. She knew her mother was being somewhat unreasonable, but she was naturally timid and couldn't muster the will to stand up to her domineering mother.
Chen Qichao immediately felt a headache coming on. He had just been fired, and his savings were down to three thousand. Forget about a 500,000 betrothal gift, even setting up a couple of banquet tables would be enough to bankrupt him. Chen Qichao's family was quite well-off, but his father, Chen Shouzheng, to foster independence in his child, stopped providing any financial assistance after his graduation, leaving everything up to him to earn on his own. But for a young man working alone in a foreign place, without connections or skills, surviving was anything but easy!
"Ah, I see. I'll try my best to raise the money," Chen Qichao said with a grim expression.
Lin Xiaofei hesitated for a moment on the other end of the line before saying, "I have some savings too, not much, but if you..."
"No need, I'll try my best to gather the money. Could it be that you're in a hurry to marry me?" Chen Qichao teased intentionally.
"What are you talking about? I'm not in a hurry at all! It's just that Mr. Xie keeps pestering me, like a fly, it's really annoying!" Lin Xiaofei said shyly.
Chen Qichao frowned slightly. The Mr. Xie his girlfriend mentioned was Xie Wei, a notorious second-generation rich and official. His father was a powerful deputy director of the S City Public Security Bureau, and his mother was a director of the famous enterprise Mengxi Group. Xie Wei was usually arrogant and domineering, and quite lustful. After seeing Lin Xiaofei, he was attracted by her beauty and had been pursuing her madly. However, Lin Xiaofei had no interest in that spoiled brat, but her mother, Song Xiaoyun, was somewhat inclined to marry her daughter to Xie Wei, which immediately gave Chen Qichao a sense of crisis.
After hanging up the phone with his girlfriend, Chen Qichao immediately jumped out of bed. For some reason, he really wanted to go out for a drink. Actually, Chen Qichao usually didn't drink at all, but the cruelty of reality made him want to numb himself with alcohol.
But even if he wanted to drink to his heart's content, Chen Qichao could only afford the cheapest Erguotou at a street stall. By the time he returned to the Chutian Apartment building, drunk, he seemed to have forgotten which direction the apartment gate was. Just as Chen Qichao ran to the bushes by the roadside and vomited violently, when his mind cleared up a bit, he suddenly noticed a smooth and round female calf, wrapped in crystal glass black stockings, with a foot wearing a bright red fish-mouth thin-heeled shoe.
"This is..." After vomiting once, Chen Qichao's mind had somewhat cleared. He took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe the filth from the corner of his mouth, then parted the nearby bushes, and soon a beautiful and voluptuous woman in purple appeared in Chen Qichao's sight.
The young woman was about the same age as Xu Wan, with a delicate oval face, her eyebrows obviously carefully trimmed. The purple eyeshadow paired with long eyelashes revealed the charm and allure of her peach blossom eyes. Her tall nose bridge and lips glossed with crystal pink lipstick complemented each other perfectly. Her dyed golden hair cascaded over her rounded shoulders, and she wore a purple high-necked sweater with a canary yellow miniskirt.
The purple-clad young woman had quite an impressive bust, her two ample breasts pushing the front of her high-necked purple sweater into a high bulge, swaying with her rapid breathing, especially with two noticeable protrusions appearing on her chest.
"Could it be that this woman is going commando?" Chen Qichao's drunkenness was instantly dispelled by the beautiful sight before him. He only felt his mouth dry and his throat parched. For some reason, he sensed waves of a peculiar fragrance emanating from the unconscious purple-clad young woman in the bushes, flooding into his nostrils, and Chen Qichao's cock beneath his crotch began to stiffen, soon standing erect like a spear, hard as iron!
Beneath her flat abdomen, through the canary yellow miniskirt, were the purple-clad young woman's two rounded thighs wrapped in crystal-clear black stockings. At that moment, those beautiful legs in black stockings kept shifting positions, as if she were clamping something between her legs, afraid it might fall.
Apart from the strange fragrance, Chen Qichao also caught a whiff of strong alcohol. Combined with the purple-clad young woman's sickly flushed face, rapid breathing, and some vomit nearby, he realized she was probably like him—having fallen here after getting drunk.
The term "corpse picking" suddenly flashed through Chen Qichao's mind. He licked his dry lips. To be honest, Chen Qichao was no stranger to beautiful women—his girlfriend Lin Xiaofei, his landlady Xu Wan, and even his sharp-tongued prospective mother-in-law Song Xiaoyun were all top-tier beauties. But for some reason, as he approached this purple-clad young woman, he felt an unusual desire and restlessness stirring within him.
Chen Qichao looked at the purple-clad young woman, who was moaning with a flushed face, and then glanced around the secluded area. It was a remote place where few people passed by at night, and it was also a blind spot for surveillance.
"Just once... just this once!" Chen Qichao, who usually wouldn't even dare to relieve himself in public, suddenly entertained the thought of taking advantage of the situation. Watching the still moaning purple-clad young woman, he slowly parted the tangled bushes and eventually made his way to her side.
With trembling hands, Chen Qichao carefully lifted the purple high-necked blouse of the black-stockinged young woman, revealing vast expanses of fair skin and full, large breasts. Just as he had suspected, the purple-clad young woman was indeed wearing nothing underneath! As he pushed the blouse up to her neck, the two round, firm, pale breasts wobbled in the air, especially the two crimson tips at their peaks. The young woman's nipples were already erect and swollen, resembling large winter dates!
Being a virgin, Chen Qichao had never encountered such a scene before. Both he and his girlfriend, Lin Xiaofei, were somewhat conservative when it came to sexual matters, having agreed to save their first time for each other after marriage, embodying the traditional notion of honest students.
"I'm sorry, Xiaofei, I might have to break this promise," Chen Qichao silently thought to himself, but his hands didn't hesitate for a second as they grasped the purple-clad young woman's breasts, kneading them fiercely.
The first sensation Chen Qichao felt from the young woman's breasts was their softness, as if he were squeezing a solid mass of cotton. The pleasurable feeling of the breasts tightly against his palms was intoxicating. Then came their ample elasticity, like a pudding just out of its mold or a water-filled balloon, extremely bouncy. This sensation quickly traveled from his palms through his nerves to his brain.
The purple-clad young woman seemed to react to Chen Qichao's fondling of her breasts; her nipples began to secrete a milky white fluid, and her two legs clad in black stockings actively wrapped around his waist.
"So eager, it seems she's been thirsty for a long time!" Chen Qichao thought as he continued to knead the young woman's breasts with one hand while using the other to remove his pants, exposing his already erect penis.
It must be said that Chen Qichao was exceptionally gifted; his penis began to develop rapidly in his early teens, reaching the level of an adult man. By now, it was over twenty centimeters long, as thick as a baby's arm, and covered with countless veins like earthworms. The glans at the tip was particularly large, resembling a goose egg, with a purplish-red sheen, and the two heavy testicles at the base were like the iron balls old men play with in the park.
After removing his own pants, Chen Qichao began to undo the mini-skirt of the Purple-dressed Young Woman. To his surprise, as soon as he touched it, the fabric, which was so short it barely covered her thighs, automatically separated and fluttered away like a butterfly's wings into the distant bushes. The mysterious area of the Purple-dressed Young Woman, wrapped in black transparent lace panties, was now exposed before Chen Qichao, who was about to turn into a wolf.
With a 'rip...', Chen Qichao effortlessly tore open the last line of defense of the Purple-dressed Young Woman, revealing the mysterious triangular area without any concealment. Her mons pubis was quite plump, covered with a thin layer of pubic hair, and below it was a pink snow clam, with two thick, dark red labia covering the vaginal opening. At the root of her fair and tender thighs were delicate and adorable small labia.
At this moment, Chen Qichao was completely unaware that his eyes had turned bloodshot, his mind filled only with the thought of fucking the Purple-dressed Young Woman before him and injecting his semen into her womb. Holding his thick and long penis, he used the glans to part her thick labia and then gently ground it against her vaginal opening a few times.
'Oh... mmm...' The Purple-dressed Young Woman parted her red lips slightly, letting out a series of sweet and seductive moans, while the milk from her chest sprayed out uncontrollably, soaking the pair of slippery, fair breasts.
'You slut, I'm coming in!' Chen Qichao, with bloodshot eyes, held the Purple-dressed Young Woman's slender waist and then forcefully thrust his thick and long penis into her pussy. With a 'squelch', a stream of lewd fluid splashed near the vaginal opening, and at the same time, his penis deeply penetrated the Purple-dressed Young Woman's pussy.
Inserted by such a thick and long penis, the Woman in Purple immediately trembled, her beautiful legs in black stockings wrapped around Chen Qichao's waist, while the flesh inside her pussy began to wildly squeeze and envelop his cock.
Chen Qichao only felt as if his cock had entered an extremely slippery and tight flesh cavity, a sensation so exquisite that only those who have truly experienced it could understand. Countless folds and flesh from all directions surged towards his cock, enveloping it. Especially the deepest part, like a baby sucking milk, tightly held onto his glans, unwilling to let go.
Just a few seconds after insertion, Chen Qichao felt a surge of semen. After all, he was a virgin, and now he was fucking such a beautiful Woman in Purple. He couldn't control his body at all. His testicles contracted several times, and then his urethral opening automatically opened, shooting out streams of hot, thick semen towards the Woman in Purple's deepest part. At the same time, a large amount of milk also spurted out from her nipples.
"Pant... pant... What's happening to me? I actually..." After ejaculating once, Chen Qichao regained some of his senses. He realized that he had taken advantage of the Woman in Purple's drunken state to violate her, commonly known as 'corpse picking'! For the old Chen Qichao, this would have been absolutely impossible. But now, the traces of turbid white semen overflowing from where their genitals were connected told him that this was indeed the case!
Although he knew it was rape, Chen Qichao, who had tasted the pleasure, felt the Woman in Purple's pussy flesh continuously squeezing and compressing his cock. The unending pleasure made him feel as if he was in ecstasy!
But at that moment, the Woman in Purple suddenly tightened her beautiful legs in black stockings, preventing Chen Qichao from pulling his cock out of her pussy, while she also sat up from the ground. Chen Qichao was so shocked that his face turned ashen, thinking she had woken up. Unexpectedly, the Woman in Purple grabbed his neck and pressed her hot, soft red lips directly onto his!
"Why is she so forward!" Chen Qichao found it strange, but he was soon lost in the soft, warm lips of the purple-clad young woman. Unbeknownst to him, a sinister shadow was slowly emerging from her throat, ready to lunge at his face.
"Buzz..." Chen Qichao felt a cold sensation emanating from the purple-clad young woman's mouth, followed by something like two antennae touching his lips. He quickly broke free from her grasp, only to widen his eyes in horror. A golden centipede, as thick as half a grown man's arm, was slowly crawling out of her mouth. Its head was a translucent emerald green, with two slender, silver-glowing antennae—the very things that had just touched him!
"What kind of heavenly dragon is this!" Chen Qichao was instantly drenched in cold sweat. Any thought of intimacy vanished, and his arousal quickly faded, slipping out of the purple-clad young woman. Yet, her stocking-clad legs remained tightly wrapped around his waist, immobilizing him.
"How is this possible? How can such a large centipede hide in a person's mouth?" Chen Qichao noticed that after the golden centipede emerged, the young woman's vitality seemed to drain away, as if her very essence had been sucked out.
The golden centipede, of course, couldn't answer his questions. It seemed intent on burrowing into Chen Qichao's mouth, transforming into a blur as it lunged at his face.
"Damn! A facehugger?" Chen Qichao felt the golden centipede's blade-like legs scrape across his skin, drawing thin lines of blood. Sensing the cold, dangerous presence nearing, he could only grab the centipede with both hands, struggling to free himself from the young woman's legs. Never had he imagined that the very legs he'd fantasized about in his dreams would become the instrument of his demise. No wonder the ancients said, 'Lust is a knife hanging over one's head.'
The golden centipede's body was terrifyingly hard, its countless legs as sharp as steel blades, slicing Chen Qichao's palm until it bled profusely. Soon, its two silver antennae penetrated his throat, inducing a strong urge to vomit, but the golden centipede blocked his mouth. As it was about to crawl into his mouth, Chen Qichao fiercely bit down on its emerald-green head, driven by the thought that even if he were to die, it wouldn't get away unscathed, clamping his teeth shut with all his might.
What seemed like a futile struggle at first, given the creature's hard body capable of slicing through his flesh, turned out differently. The golden centipede's head was surprisingly fragile, and Chen Qichao crushed it with a single bite. A foul-smelling, yellowish-brown liquid sprayed everywhere, with some of the dark golden fluid accidentally swallowed by him. It felt as if he had drunk a cup of scalding iron juice, immediately causing his eyes to roll back and passing out...
