Chapter 42: Key Item: The Aphrodisiac Sac
“Phew, that was close.” Yan Zhen wiped the sweat from his brow, then kicked one of the Mystic Beast carcasses in annoyance. “Keep chasing, huh? Now you’re dead!”
A typical low-ELO player, charging into a team fight without thinking, blindly chasing a low-health target, only to be killed inexplicably, then realizing their team has been wiped out, and their base destroyed.
*Elo rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in zero-sum games such as chess or esports*
— Such a noob!
“Are you alright, Chen Zhen?” Yun Xiu asked.
“I’m fine.”
“Let’s rest before we continue.”
“No, the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire is intelligent. With its minions wiped out, it must have sensed danger. If we’re too late, it might escape through the underground fire veins… We have to hurry.”
They couldn’t argue with him, so they agreed.
…
He had used the Evil Scale Fire Crystals to gather the demonic fire imprints, deducing the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire’s location. He could now sense its position with his eyes closed.
According to the script, it was hiding beneath the dragons’ lair, located on the highest peak in this region of the Demon Dragon Mountain Range. They could see it from here.
To reach their destination quickly, Yun Xiu and Jiu Youyue each took one of his hands, lifting him into the air.
Although his Starry Sky Dance allowed him to fly for short distances, their speed was far superior.
Within minutes, they landed on Dragon Peak.
The peak’s summit was a concave depression, a small crystal mountain rising from its center, the entrance to the dragons’ lair.
There was no vegetation, just bare rocks, the strong wind whipping up sand and dust.
…
The system’s notification echoed in his mind, the corresponding interface appearing before him.
[Ding! Key Plot Point Triggered.]
[Current Plot Progress: Chapter 251 – Subduing the Second Extreme Flame.]
[Acting Requirements: With Yun Xiu and Jiu Youyue’s help, absorb the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire into the Fire Refining Starry Sky.]
[Completion Rate: 0%]
This was his first time subduing an Extreme Flame. Although he knew this Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire was just a nascent form, not as powerful as its mature counterpart, he was still nervous.
They scanned their surroundings, then entered the lair, walking through a wide passage, reaching its inner chamber.
From the outside, it had been impossible to tell, but the lair’s interior was surprisingly spacious.
It was filled with various plants and flowers, like a garden. Deep within the garden was a nest made of branches and crystals, a large, egg-shaped object resting within it.
It was an aphrodisiac sac, a treasure used by the two dragons to enhance their mating urges.
Seeing it again, Yun Xiu’s expression turned serious, her emotions complex, while Jiu Youyue’s eyes gleamed. It was a crucial item for her plans. As for Yan Zhen, he recalled the details of the upcoming scene.
In the script, he had mistaken the aphrodisiac sac for a dragon egg, not storing it in his storage ring, but wrapping it in cloth and carrying it on his back. During the battle, the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire had burned through the cloth, and the sac, falling to the ground, had ruptured, releasing a large amount of aphrodisiac gas.
Preoccupied with the battle, they hadn’t noticed it immediately. By the time the fight ended, they had all been affected.
The two women, unable to control themselves, had attacked him. He, however, resisting their advances, had used his immense willpower to suppress his own desires, helping them dispel the aphrodisiac’s effects, then left the lair, venturing into the forest, battling Mystic Beasts to vent his frustration, preserving their purity.
This “unwavering virtue” scene had showcased his noble character and unwavering willpower, significantly enhancing his image as the protagonist, while also capturing the hearts of Yun Xiu and Jiu Youyue, laying the foundation for their future entanglement. It was a crucial scene!
The system issued the corresponding task:
[Ding! Key Plot Point Triggered 2.]

[Acting Requirements: ① Accidentally rupture the aphrodisiac sac, causing yourself, Yun Xiu, and Jiu Youyue to inhale the aphrodisiac gas, entering a state of arousal; ② Maintain your composure in the face of their advances, remaining virtuous, and help them dispel the aphrodisiac’s effects; ③ Venture into the forest and battle Mystic Beasts to vent your frustration.]
[Completion Rate: 0%]
[Additional Note: This role-playing task will severely test Host’s willpower. Please persevere! Good luck! Love you~]
Yan Zhen grimaced. Being sandwiched between two women, one of whom was his first love, while under the influence of an aphrodisiac, and still maintaining his composure… that was a bit ridiculous.
He could only take it one step at a time. At least he had more experience with the “rice bowl” formation than the Yan Zhen in the script. He should be able to handle it.
“Is that a dragon egg?” he asked, pointing at the aphrodisiac sac. “It has a grid pattern on its surface, and it’s so round… It doesn’t really look like one.”
Jiu Youyue blinked.
“It looks familiar, but I can’t tell from this distance. Little Zhenzhen, go get it so we can take a closer look.”
He was about to move when Yun Xiu stopped him, her voice surprisingly candid.
“Don’t. That’s a dragon’s aphrodisiac sac. It contains a potent aphrodisiac gas. If you accidentally rupture it, the consequences could be… severe… Let’s not create unnecessary complications. Let’s go find the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire.”
Jiu Youyue was instantly displeased. It seemed her sister was trying to prevent her “first night” plan. This was unacceptable!
“Sister is right, Little Zhenzhen. Don’t be curious. Let’s find the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire first.”
He was stunned. How did they know it was an aphrodisiac sac? The script said they didn’t know!
If he didn’t get his hands on the sac, how could he “accidentally” rupture it during the battle?
But they had both told him not to touch it. He couldn’t insist, could he? They would think he was a pervert!
— Damn it, think of something!
“Ahem, I thought it was a dragon egg… we could roast it… Never mind.”
“You little glutton. Let’s go.” Jiu Youyue pushed his shoulder. “Sister, please lead the way. I’ll take the rear.”
Yun Xiu looked at Jiu Youyue intently.
“No, you go first. I’ll take the rear.”
— You cunning woman! Trying to hog him all to yourself! Not giving me a chance!
Jiu Youyue bit her lip.
“Since you insist, Sister, then I’ll lead the way. But you have to keep an eye on Little Zhenzhen.”
…
Behind the nest was a bottomless chasm, its edges lined with gray Evil Scale Fire Crystals.
The Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire was located at the bottom of this chasm, connected to the mountain’s underground fire veins.
However, before they could enter, a furious roar echoed from within.
Their expressions changed, their gazes fixed on the chasm.
A powerful aura surged upwards.
“Be careful, Chen Zhen.”
“It’s coming…”
Boom!
Gray flames erupted from the chasm, a small, grayish-black dragon, no larger than an ordinary beast, emerging from the flames, its wings spread, resembling the miniature dragons he had created from the Evil Scale Fire Crystals.
— What the hell? Why did it come up here by itself?
He was frustrated. Not only were Yun Xiu and Jiu Youyue deviating from the script, but now even the flame was improvising!
