Ji Dong’s actions were completely driven by impulse at that moment.
When his lips touched Ren Jianmo’s, he was instantly stunned, not knowing what to do next.
As for the person who was kissed, they simply leaned back against the sofa backrest, calmly, quietly and seemingly not angry about Ji Dong’s bold move. He didn’t show any intention of pushing him away.
Ji Dong decided to go all in. He closed his eyes tightly, pressed his lips against Ren Jianmo’s and passionately caressed them for a few moments. Unwilling to stop there, he also playfully nibbled on the corner of Ren Jianmo’s lips, leaving a neat circle of bite marks.
Then, he let go of Ren Jianmo, stood up abruptly, and wiped his mouth.
“Alright, since you’ve taken the medicine and don’t feel uncomfortable, go back then.”
Ji Dong started acting all high and mighty, with an expression that said, “I’ve already had my fun, my love, now step aside.” He felt super cool and confident, thinking he was the ultimate boss.
Ren Jianmo lifted his hand and lightly tapped the bite marks left by Ji Dong on his lips. His lips curled slightly under the cover of his hand.
“You bit me, and now you want me to leave?” he asked, his voice surprisingly tinged with a hint of hurt.
Ji Dong’s gaze swept over Ren Jianmo’s swollen lips, memories of the soft and moist sensation he had just experienced flooded his mind uncontrollably. His earlobes turned even redder as if they could drip blood, making him quickly avert his gaze.
“Um,” he said, stubbornly refusing to look at Ren Jianmo’s face. “A-anyway, I’ve already tried the medicine, and we have a meeting coming up soon…
The implication was that they would discuss the matter of universal medicine at the meeting.
“Well, alright then,” Ren Jianmo said. He stood up and as he walked past Ji Dong, he lowered his eyelashes. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a crimson earlobe peeking out from under Ji Dong’s curly hair.
“I’ll be going then.”
Ji Dong didn’t look back, coolly waving his hand.
Then he heard the rhythmic sound of Ren Jianmo’s shoes stepping on the floor, crossing the living room and stopping at the entrance.
Two seconds later, the elevator door “dinged” open.
Ji Dong clenched his fist, resisting the urge to turn around.
After waiting for three seconds, the elevator door “dinged” again and closed.
He let out a long sigh and punched the sofa.
“Ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!”
Ji Dong shouted angrily, fiercely pounding on the innocent sofa.
“Ren Jianmo, you jerk!!”
He kept punching, each hit making a loud thud.
“What were you thinking?! What were you thinking?! Is it fun to play with me?! Is it fun to play with me?!”
Ji Dong grit his teeth, growing angrier with each word.
“Last time and now too! Teasing and then running away, it’s just too much! What’s the difference between this and ignoring someone’s life or death?!”
While speaking, Ji Dong suddenly threw himself onto the sofa, grabbing a cushion and covering his head, shouting in frustration:

“You, you didn’t leave?”
Ji Dong widened his eyes, staring incredulously at Ren Jianmo. “But, the elevator just now… it was obvious…”
As the words left his mouth, he realized once again that he had been played.
This person never actually entered the elevator, so all of his frustration and outbursts just now must have been heard loud and clear by Ren Dabeiren.
“If I had left, then I wouldn’t have been able to hear your question, right?”
Ren Jianmo answered calmly.
Ji Dong: “…”
He wished that Ren Jianmo would just leave now, instead of witnessing every single embarrassing moment in vivid detail.
“…So, what are you thinking?”
Ji Dong clenched his fists tightly behind his back, trying hard to regain his previous bossy demeanor.
“Just… do you, by any chance, have even a little bit of liking towards me?”
Ren Jianmo smiled.
He didn’t answer Ji Dong’s question.
Instead he reached out his hand and pulled Ji Dong into his embrace.
“By the way,”
Ren Jianmo lowered his head and leaned in close to Ji Dong’s ear, his breath brushing against his flushed earlobe:
“The way you kissed just now… wasn’t quite right…”
Feeling the warmth and dampness at his temple, Ji Dong stiffened like a little bird statue.
Ren Jianmo lifted Ji Dong’s chin and pressed his lips against his.
As their lips and teeth intertwined, he whispered in a low breathy voice:
“Let me teach you…”
————————————-
At 7 PM, Ji Dong, Ren Jianmo, Mo Tiangen, and the Fan siblings gathered in a small meeting room in ‘Liange.’
“Oh my gosh!”
Fan Luming read the handwritten “medication instructions” over and over again, feeling both shocked and delighted, his eyes gleamed with excitement.
“This is unbelievable! I never thought we could get such a reward!”
His gaze shifted to the small pill box and noticed that one of the compartments was empty. He looked up and asked Ji Dong, “Did you already take it?”
“No.”
Ji Dong shook his head and pointed to Ren Jianmo, who was sitting beside him. His cheeks slightly flushed as he said, “It was Mr. Ren who took it, he helped us test the medicine.”
The other three people chimed in together, “Oh.”
Being a prospective doctor, Fan Luming was more concerned about another matter. He turned to Ren Jianmo and asked,
“After taking it, did you feel any discomfort?”
“No,”
Ren Jianmo replied, “So far, I haven’t felt anything out of the ordinary.”
Fan Luming continued with his questions,
“And what about the effectiveness of the medicine?”
He paused for a moment and added,
“Has your ability been strengthened?”
This time, Ren Jianmo nodded.
“My ability is in the category of mental control, so it’s hard to describe.”
He explained, “But I can feel that my powers are gradually improving.”
Fan Luming keenly grasped the keyword and said,
“You mean, it’s improving bit by bit?”
He stroked his chin and speculated,
“So, you’re saying that after taking this medicine, the effects don’t immediately show up?”
Ren Jianmo nodded again, indicating his agreement with Fan Luming’s observation.
“Well then…”
Fan Luming turned his head to look at the glass box containing the small white pills and said seriously,
“Although this may also mean that adverse reactions and toxic side effects won’t immediately appear, if it truly enhances our abilities, it’s worth taking some risks.”
As he spoke, he stood up and took four bottles of purified water from the water bar refrigerator in the corner of the conference room, and gave each of the four people, excluding Ren Jianmo, a bottle.
“Alright, here we go!”
Fan Luming said, twisting open the bottle cap, picking up a pill from the glass box, and popping it into his mouth. He then tilted his head back and gulped down half a bottle of water.
Ji Dong, Mo Tiangen, and Fan Hemian also followed suit, each swallowing a pill with some water.
For the next while, the five of them sat around the conference table, looking at each other, waiting for the effects or side effects of the medicine to appear.
After about ten minutes, Mo Tiangen was the first to feel something unusual.
“Wow!” he exclaimed.
He lowered his head and looked at his hand. “Why do I feel like the palm of my hand is getting warm?”
As he spoke, Mr. Dagen turned his head again. “And my bones don’t feel quite right either.”
If he had to describe it, Mo Tiangen felt like he was experiencing the rapid growth pains he had during puberty years ago. Every bone and every muscle felt that familiar, sore, and soft growth pain.
He furrowed his brow and felt it again.
Soon, that faint soreness became more and more pronounced. It felt as if countless tiny needles were piercing into the gaps between his bones. It could no longer be described as “pain,” but rather an intense desire to tear his bones apart, just to relieve the excruciating discomfort.
Mo Tiangen let out a cry, his body leaning to the side, on the verge of collapsing to the ground.
As soon as Mr. Dagen mentioned that his palm was getting warm, everyone’s attention was already focused on him.
Ji Dong was no exception.
But what he saw was different from everyone else.
Because he saw Mo Tiangen’s movements as if they were in slow motion, just like in a movie. His body slowly slid down from the chair, defying gravity, tilting to one side little by little…
……………………
Fan Luming was sitting next to Mo Tiangen and saw him suddenly scream and fall to the ground. He quickly reached out to catch him, but was a step too late and couldn’t grab his arm.
The next moment, two cries of surprise rang out together.
Mo Tiangen was lying on the floor with his legs up in the air, while Ji Dong, who was sitting across from him, had somehow left his seat and cushioned Mr. Dagen’s fall.
“Quick, get up, get up!”
Ji Dong felt like his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were about to be squeezed out of his mouth. He struggled with all his might, using both his hands and feet, trying to push Mr. Dageng off of him.
“Brother Dagen, bro… you’re about to… crush me!!”
Just a moment ago, Ji Xiao’niao had only intended to lend a hand, but he never expected that Mo Tiangen would be much heavier than he anticipated. Even his archer’s strength couldn’t withstand the weight, and he ended up being firmly crushed by him, becoming a human cushion.
But at this moment, Mo Tiangen was feeling extreme pain all over his body and couldn’t hear what Ji Dong was saying.
Amidst the agonizing screams, his figure began to swell and elongate, tearing his clothes apart, overturning tables and chairs, and eventually transforming into the appearance of a black-skinned giant, reminiscent of his [Kunlun Slave Bloodline] being unleashed.
However, Mr. Dageng’s current physique was noticeably larger and more muscular than usual.
Even though he was curled up on the ground, just by looking at his astonishingly long limbs, his height must have already exceeded three meters, perhaps even more than five meters.
“…Wu!”
Ji Dong was completely covered by a black mountain of flesh, making it extremely difficult for him to even breathe.
He desperately extended his arm, seeking help from his companions outside, “Quick… Wu, save me…”
The other three hurried forward, Fan Hemian and Ren Jianmo working together to drag Ji Xiao’niao out from under Mr. Dagen, while Fan Luming busied himself with checking the condition of the black giant.
“Hey, Brother Dagen, how are you feeling?”
Fan Hemian bent down and slapped Mo Tiangen’s face, trying to keep him conscious. “Can you hear me? Where does it hurt?”
“My… bones…”
Mo Tiangen struggled to open one eye, and tiny beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. “All of my bones… it feels excruciatingly painful!”
hehehehehhehe ( ✧Д✧) YES!!
