A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1024 Turn Back Before It's Too Late

Yu Yun wasn't going to pull the windows open.

She didn't want anyone to know that she was training with Ye Fan.

Besides, they had to be naked from the waist up during their training.

Yu Yan had thought it an absolute nightmare when she had to let Ye Fan see her naked form. She didn't want anyone else to be privy to that sight.

Every time they practiced Dragon God Body, she would ensure that the door and the windows were locked and that no one would be able to catch a glimpse of their semi-nudity.

She wasn't going to open the windows like Ye Fan had asked her to.

He was right though. The weather that night seemed to be warmer than usual.

Her fair shoulders were glistening faintly with sweat.

They didn't think much of it though and thought that it was the heat that was making them sweat.

It was June, after all.

The weather was supposed to grow warmer in China now.

Yu Yun slipped her dress down and let it fall around her waist. Then, she climbed barefooted onto the bed.

They had their backs towards each other like they always had. Yu Yun's naked shoulder gradually inched towards Ye Fan's.

They activated the Dragon God Body inside them, calmed their minds and got ready to start their training.

Yu Yun was bewildered when she realized that she couldn't focus at all.

Waves of heat and agitation stirred inside her and left her restless.

She tried to focus on her Dragon God Body but felt the latter move in fits and starts.

Ye Fan was faring no better.

He had begun to sweat heavily. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead as his usual composure abandoned him and left him in a state of restlessness like Yu Yun. "This is strange. What's going on? Why do I feel so restless tonight?" The crease furrowing Ye Fan's brow deepened.

A growing heat churned inside him as an unnamable, unspeakable desire unfurled within him.

It was then that Yu Yun's alluring form came into contact with Ye Fan's skin.

They shuddered instantly as something electrifying passed through their bodies.

White noise exploded in Ye Fan's head.

His reason abandoned him momentarily.

"Something's wrong. It's not the weather." Ye Fan realized then that something was out of place. His body shuddered again and his eyes widened slightly.

"It can't be..." A thought struck him then. He yelled at Yu Yun. "Yu Yun, which bottle did you take from the cabinet? Is it the red or white bottle? Yu Yun? Come on, say something!"

His voice was filled with nervousness as he questioned Yu Yun frantically.

No one answered him.

All he heard was the sound of soft, heated panting.

Then, something soft leaned into his back.

A pair of soft and slim arms encircled Ye Fan tightly.

A heated cheek pressed itself against Ye Fan's back.

"Shit! This is bad!"

Ye Fan shuddered and instinctively leaned back before he leaped off the bed as if it were a bed of burning hot coals.

It was obvious what had happened.

"That idiot! She must have taken the red bottle. That's aphrodisiac!"

Ye Fan was going to wet his pants and burst into tears at the same time.

The old Madam Chu had hidden herself away in the old Chu family mansion all these years. Besides taking care of the old family home, her only pastime was the concoction of all manners of potions and medicines.

The aphrodisiac was clearly one of those types of medicines that she had brewed.

Ye Fan had mistakenly eaten the contents of that red bottle when he had been a kid.

He had been alone in a house then, with no pretty girls and only a huge dog to keep him company.

Under the effects of the aphrodisiac, Ye

Fan had found the stupid dog attractive and pretty.

Luckily, the old lady had returned home in time to stop him from doing anything stupid.

The incident had left an indelible impression on Ye Fan. The image of the red bottle had been seared into his brain.

That was why he had reminded Yu Yun repeatedly not to take the red bottle. She was not to touch the red bottle at all. Who could have expected that idiot to do the exact opposite?

"I can't believe this is happening to me!" Ye Fan was on the verge of tears.

Yu Yun had leaned into Ye Fan again.

She had eaten most of the dishes today and was more heavily drugged than Ye Fan.

She wasn't blindfolded like Ye Fan was.

The temporary loss of vision helped Ye

Fan in controlling his urges.

Despite the nearly unbearable urges assailing his mind, he still managed to hold on to his senses.

Yu Yun, on the other hand, wasn't doing as well.

Her eyes had glazed over and a bright blush stained her cheeks.

She seemed to have lost her reason completely. She threw her arms around Ye Fan as she pressed her form into his back and kept leaning further into him until her lips finally found his. Her tongue slipped between Ye Fan's lips.

Their lips smashed into each other's as they engaged in a hot and wet kiss.

Ye Fan shuddered violently.

"Shit. No, I can't do this. Yu Yun, you have to come to your senses!"

Ye Fan was in the midst of a fierce

struggle with his own urges. He had been fighting intense throes of desire before Yu Yan had touched him. The bodily contact nearly drove him mad.

"I have to leave right now, before I do something truly terrible."

Ye Fan steeled himself as he cast the sinful thoughts in his mind into a dark corner, shoved Yu Yun aside, then yanked the blindfold off so that he could make a hasty escape.

But as the blindfold fell away from Ye Fan's eyes, the sight of Yu Yun's alluring naked form appeared before Ye Fan's eyes.

The sight was like a spark that kindled the flames of desire inside him and set him aflame.

The last remnants of Ye Fan's reason were overpowered by the effects of the aphrodisiac that instant. Ye Fan finally snapped.

He lunged at Yu Yun and pulled her into his arms. Their lips crashed into each other as Ye Fan's hands explored the curves of Yu Yun's naked body.

He must have brushed his fingers over a sensitive spot because she trembled suddenly. Her eyes regained a hint of clarity momentarily.

Her face flushed redder when she realized what was going on.

Yu Yun tried to rein in the heated desire that she was experiencing, biting her lips hard as she struggled to speak with a shaky voice. "Ye Fan...if you insult my honor, I'll...I'll kill you, then kill myself!"

The fleeting moment of clarity passed and a glazed look appeared in her eyes again the next moment. She pressed herself against Ye Fan and snaked her arms around his neck. Their lips and tongues locked in a passionate kiss as she hungered for more.

Ye Fan's reason caved under Yu Yun's hungry kisses.

He returned the kisses of the woman in her arms, reached out and pulled her dress off her before lifting her onto the bed.

As they were about to commit the unthinkable, something cold landed on Ye Fan's hand.

She was crying.

Her crystalline tears were cold like the moonlight.

The sight of tears staining Yu Yun's beautiful face yanked Ye Fan out of his stupor.

He clenched his jaw and through sheer willpower alone shoved down the unbearable urges that assailed him. Finally, before he could commit a grave error that he would regret for the rest of his life, he shoved the young woman in his arms away and fled from her room.
