Chapter 95 – A Woman as Enchanting as a Fairy

In the end, Su Ming still followed the girl’s instructions against his own protests, arriving at a remote alley to wait for her.

But this wait ended up lasting over an hour.

“Still not here yet?”

Glancing at the time displayed on his phone, Su Ming grew somewhat anxious.

According to Commander Duan’s arrangements, during shift rotations like this, each shift lasted about three hours. In case of emergencies, all personnel would be immediately summoned to the frontline for combat.

Thus, Su Ming didn’t have much time to spare.

On top of that, Jiang Wanyu was still poisoned, and how long she could hold on remained unknown. If Su Ming weren’t tense and urgent under these circumstances, it would be insincere.

Su Ming could only pace in place, occasionally ducking into the shadows to avoid passing soldiers and Professionals.

Some Phantom Demons that slipped through the net would infiltrate the camp and attack the rear defense lines. Although Su Ming’s location was remote, it didn’t guarantee avoiding all Phantom Demons or those pursuing them.

Left with no choice, Su Ming picked up his phone again, ready to call the girl once more.

Just then, the sound of an engine starting reached Su Ming’s ears.

“She’s here!”

Su Ming’s spirits lifted, and he quickly looked up toward the source of the sound.

From the other corner of the camp, an off-road vehicle sped over and stopped right in front of the secluded alley, blocking the entrance.

Two figures stepped out of the vehicle one after another.

Before Su Ming could approach, one of the figures dashed toward him.

“Damn!”

Su Ming was startled and tried to dodge.

But the figure had already rushed up to him, wrapping him in a tight embrace.

The next moment, a soft, delicate body pressed into Su Ming’s arms, and a captivating fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

“Long time no see, my great benefactor.”

The voice he had been hearing over the phone for the past two days finally resonated beside him in reality.

Su Ming couldn’t help but show a hint of bitterness on his face as he focused his gaze.

What met his eyes was a figure as alluring as her voice.

Her face was fairy-like, her skin as white as snow, with exquisitely beautiful features and a graceful, tall figure—like a world-class model stepping out of an international competition, so stunning she seemed more suited for television than reality.

Her long hair cascaded to her waist, and she was dressed in office attire: a white blouse on top, a form-fitting pencil skirt below, and high heels on her feet. Her large eyes sparkled, brimming with laughter.

She was an incredibly mature and captivating woman, like a fairy-tale enchantress.

Faced with this woman, even though Su Ming was constantly surrounded by the charming girl-next-door An Zijin and knew the aloof Young Miss of the Xu Family, Xu Qianqian, he couldn’t help but feel his heartbeat quicken slightly, experiencing a flutter of excitement.

In terms of appearance, this woman was in no way inferior to Xu Qianqian or An Zijin.

But when it came to maturity and feminine charm, she completely outshone young, inexperienced girls like Xu Qianqian and An Zijin, who were still studying at the Academy.Especially in terms of figure, this woman’s body curves were explosively perfect—voluptuous in all the right places, truly a devilish physique. Jiang Wanyu’s long legs and Yao Beibei’s ample bosom were both present in her, and she even surpassed them.

Anyone who saw this woman would inevitably feel their heart stir, struck by her breathtaking, flawless beauty.

This was the first woman Su Ming had met in this world whose beauty was utterly suffocating.

“Yun Langyue.”

That was the name of this enchantingly beautiful and captivating woman.

The young woman—Yun Langyue—lifted her head and flashed Su Ming a bewitchingly seductive smile.

“Haven’t I told you long ago? Just call me Yueyue.”

Yun Langyue laughed delightedly, her smile so radiant it made Su Ming glance sideways involuntarily.

Especially since this woman was now nestled in his embrace, stirring restless urges within him.

Fortunately, Su Ming hadn’t forgotten that this woman wasn’t just a pretty face—she was also a cunning schemer who had tried to make him her kept man.

“If you hadn’t come soon, I might have really died from anxiety.”

Su Ming hardened his heart and pushed the woman away.

Unfortunately, Yun Langyue wasn’t about to let him off so easily.

“It’s already a miracle I managed to get here.”

Yun Langyue clung tightly to Su Ming, acting completely unbothered. An observer might think she was handling serious business, but Su Ming could feel a soft little hand stealthily sliding up his back, sending shivers down his spine until he nearly collapsed right there, ready to surrender.

“Stop groping around!”

Su Ming could only struggle frantically.

But Yun Langyue persisted relentlessly.

“You heartless man, it’s been so long since you visited me. Can’t you even let me hold you for a bit?”

Yun Langyue put on a pitiful expression that could melt anyone’s heart.

If her hands weren’t wandering so freely, Su Ming might have fallen for her act.

But now, with her hands venturing into forbidden territory, if Su Ming didn’t break free now, he might soon lose the will to resist at all.

“Hey! Cut it out!”

Su Ming was ready to flee.

“Just a little longer, just a little longer,” Yun Langyue cooed with a playful smile, rubbing herself against him persistently.

The two of them tussled back and forth in the dim, secluded alley—a scene that might lead bystanders to suspect they were engaged in something decidedly adult-oriented.

Fortunately, they weren’t alone.

“Miss Yun, may I approach now?”

An overly serious, almost rigid voice interrupted them.

Only then did Yun Langyue cease her harassment and promptly release Su Ming.

Su Ming sighed in relief while quickly putting distance between them, though his posture remained slightly awkward.

It couldn’t be helped.

With a temptress like Yun Langyue—explosive curves and devastating beauty—rubbing all over him, it would be strange if he didn’t react.

This was one reason Su Ming feared Yun Langyue. Being with this woman made him painfully aware of his own primal instincts as a male, forcing him to constantly confront his shallow, lust-driven nature.

And for this, Yun Langyue never missed a chance to mock him.Were it not for the presence of a third party, Su Ming was certain Yun Langyue would have teased him on the spot and flirted even more provocatively, making him completely lose his composure.

Su Ming could only divert his attention, focusing his mind on the third person present.

It was an elderly man, half of whose hair had turned gray. Though his face bore no wrinkles, crow’s feet were visible at the corners of his eyes, suggesting an age likely approaching fifty.

“Master Shi.”

Yun Langyue addressed him with a somewhat awkward tone.

Only then did the other party slowly approach, entering the secluded alley and coming before Su Ming.

Yun Langyue introduced him to Su Ming.

“This is Master Shi Lin, the most outstanding Alchemist in our Longyao City. He once studied in other Base Cities and is now a highly sought-after Great Master among various major Families and influential factions. Even prominent figures from other Base Cities frequently commission him to concoct potions. In the field of alchemical potions, he has reached the pinnacle of mastery.”

Yun Langyue’s introduction made Su Ming take a few extra glances at this Master Shi.

Although Yun Langyue seemed to hold this Master Shi Lin in high regard, unfortunately, Su Ming had never heard of his name.

After all, Alchemists were not like Professionals; they belonged to the support personnel. No matter how famous they became, their reputation rarely matched that of Upper-Rank Professionals.

Su Ming had paid attention to quite a few renowned Alchemists, but among them, there was no one named Shi Lin.

Shi Lin seemed to detect the skepticism in Su Ming’s eyes. Instead of taking offense, he adjusted the glasses on his face.

“I am not an Alchemist who serves the general public. I only concoct potions for the upper echelons of Base Cities and major factions. It’s perfectly normal for ordinary people to be unaware of my existence.”

Unexpectedly calm, his voice and expression were serious, giving off a meticulous and rigid impression.

“I see.”

Su Ming nodded, though he felt a bit peculiar inside.

(Is this guy indirectly implying that I’m just an ordinary person, which is why I don’t know about him?)

Su Ming strongly suspected this, though he had no evidence.

As for Shi Lin’s words, Su Ming did not doubt them.

Firstly, since Yun Langyue had brought this person here, it proved he truly had skill.

Secondly, in this world, there were indeed many Alchemists who exclusively served major factions and Families. The more skilled they were, the more they tended to lean in this direction.

After all, with their high-level techniques, it was only natural for them to serve the upper echelons.

The concoction requests from ordinary people held no challenge for them, and they disdained acting like assembly-line producers of alchemical items. Therefore, Alchemists typically stopped accepting general orders after reaching the peak of their craft, only taking on commissions from major factions and Families.

Yun Langyue had mentioned that this Alchemy Master had a rather peculiar personality. Presumably, he had some special reason for never having revealed his talents to the general public.

Such was the reality.

“Although Master Shi Lin hasn’t retired, he rarely accepts orders anymore.”

Yun Langyue mentioned this as if unintentionally.

“The Master now only takes on highly difficult orders that his students struggle to complete. If the item to be concocted doesn’t reach a certain level of difficulty, no matter how much money is offered, the Master will not accept it.”This is likely the reason why Shi Lin has not appeared before the general public.

In terms of reputation, among his students, there are quite a few famous alchemists known to the public.

Yet he himself holds fame in contempt, and those who know of his existence are truly few.

This time, the reason he traveled thousands of miles personally to come to this dangerous battlefield is quite simple.

“Although I haven’t heard the details yet, Miss Yun told me that there is a high-difficulty concoction here that I might never encounter in my entire life.”

Shi Lin cast his piercing gaze upon Su Ming.

From his eyes, Su Ming saw fervor.

Without a doubt, this was an alchemist who loved challenging himself and pushing the limits of his skills.

“I do indeed have a commission, and I hope you, Great Master, can take it on.”

Su Ming remained silent for a moment before speaking.

“Let’s hear it.”

Shi Lin slowly responded.

Su Ming then suddenly smiled and revealed the truth.

“I want to concoct the Phantom Demon Potion of the Nightmare Species.”

As these words were spoken, the fervor in Shi Lin’s eyes finally blazed forth like fire.
