Physician's Odyssey

Chapter 671 - There’s a problem with the milk

Translator: Thyaeria

Lin Kun felt dizzy after he was thrown onto the ground by Su Tao. He instantly felt numb and aching on his back, to which he only recovered after taking a few breaths. Su Tao was long unhappy with Lin Kun, and when he saw how Lin Kun acted at this moment, rage instantly blazed in his heart. He even lashed a kick on Lin Kun’s face.

“Get lost!” Su Tao roared.

At this moment, Lin Kun felt embarrassed, anxious, and furious. However, he did not dare to speak out loud. He had witnessed Su Tao’s skills, and he naturally knew that he’s not Su Tao’s opponent. Hence, he could only swallow this matter up and left the villa in a sorry state.

After all, he no longer had any reason to stay here.

Letting out a sigh, Su Tao looked at Asaka Ochi. Seeing her expression, he thought that she was still feeling fearful, so he spat, “I’ve already noticed that that fellow wasn’t a good thing, and he’s been having intentions towards you the entire time.”

However, Asaka Ochi inwardly sighed since the entire matter was a mess. Even if Lin Kun was at fault for placing his hands on her shoulders, it was also due to the instigation by her husband. Then again, she had only treated Lin Kun as an ordinary friend, and his confession made her feel disgusted with him even more.

“Sorry to show you a joke.” Asaka Ochi also had no idea how to describe her feelings. The feeling of being entrusted to the wrong person by her husband wasn’t something that she could simply explain.

“You don’t seem too well.” Su Tao examined Asaka Ochi. At this moment, she was akin to Chang’e who had descended to the mortal world. Although she had a robe on, her figure was delicate, especially her legs. Her nightgown revealed her lower leg, and her slim waist made her look graceful.

“Come and drink with me!” Asaka Ochi suddenly wanted to vent her emotions, and perhaps Su Tao might be able to help her with that.

“Right now?” Su Tao bitterly smiled and shook his head. “Isn’t it a little inappropriate?”

“Fine, I’ll drink by myself!” Asaka Ochi grumbled as she looked at Su Tao with a complicated gaze.

“Well... I’ll chat with you, then! Where do you want to drink?” Su Tao felt a little reluctant to refuse her.

“In my room?” Asaka Ochi smiled self-mockingly as she tiptoed and whispered in Su Tao’s ears, “Actually, Kohei knows that I would often secretly drink in my room.”

Su Tao never expected that the lovable and virtuous Asaka Ochi would have this hobby, nor did he expect that she would share this secret with him. He had to admit that at this moment, Asaka Ochi was charming, and no men could refuse her.

Hence, Su Tao involuntarily entered the room. But after she closed the door, his heart jolted. Isn’t it a little too exciting for a man and woman to be alone in a room?

When Asaka Ochi locked the door, she smiled. “This way, no one will come and disrupt us drinking.”

Weakly letting out a sigh, Su Tao asked, “Aren’t you afraid that I might have malicious intentions towards you?”

“Nope. You’re not the same kind of person as Lin Kun. He’s a petty man, while you’re a gentleman, so I believe you.” Asaka Ochi said as she opened a red wooden cabinet and took out a bottle of vodka.

“I never expected that you would actually drink such strong alcohol.” Su Tao smiled with a peculiar light flashing through his eyes.

“I can only get myself drunk with strong alcohol.” Asaka Ochi opened the cap and started pouring.

However, Su Tao immediately rejected with a smile. “There’s only two of us right now. How about you drink yourself? I’ll remain clear-headed. After all, I’m a man, and it won’t be good if my demon comes out after seeing how beautiful you are.”

“Coward!” Asaka Ochi rolled her eyes at Su Tao and pointed at the cup of milk by the bedside. “I’ve just prepared this milk, and it was originally meant for me. Why don’t you drink that instead? I’ll drink alcohol!”

It was a pretty good idea to Su Tao. After all, one person getting drunk was better than having two people drunk. Hence, he picked up the milk as he walked over to Asaka Ochi. Sniffing the fragrance permeating from her body, he bumped his cup of milk with the cup of vodka with a smile. “Cheers!”

Su Tao’s gesture of raising his hand coincidentally allowed him to catch a faint scent from Asaka Ochi. As he felt a fire rising in his heart, he drank a little too much of the milk and practically drank half of it down. By the time his taste buds signalled that there was something wrong with the milk, it was already too late.

“There’s a problem with the milk!” Su Tao locked his brows together as he heavily placed the glass down onto the table and started to analyse what was added in the milk.

Seeing that Su Tao was so serious about this matter, Asaka Ochi smiled and comforted, “I drink it every day, so you don’t have to worry about anything.”

After that, she raised the cup and finished the milk before she smiled. “See, I drank it as well. If there’s anything added inside, even I will also be implicated.”

Looking at this scene, Su Tao inwardly sighed since he didn’t manage to stop her in time. Asaka Ochi drank it too fast, and she had already finished the milk before he could even react.

As an excitement started to rise in his head, he instantly figured out that an aphrodisiac was added in the milk and bitterly smiled. “Sit still. I’ll help you get the milk out.”

Asaka Ochi was baffled as she looked at Su Tao. All of a sudden, she felt a heat rising from her lower abdomen. She felt as if she was being boiled in a cauldron, so she subconsciously removed her coat and muttered, “Why is it so hot all of a sudden?”

She wore a thin nightgown that’s practically just a thin layer. With the coat removed, Su Tao was struck by the impact and tried to calm himself down.

Su Tao was trying to resist the medicinal effect in his body, which there seemed to be an improvement. The world became much clearer and in his eyes, and Asaka Ochi was only... a vase.

“What did you just say?” Under the influence of aphrodisiac, there was a fragrance coming from Asaka Ochi’s breath that blew on his face.

Su Tao’s heart instantly trembled as he subconsciously took two steps back. He tried his best to calm himself down and responded, “The milk was drugged, and this is the reason why you’re feeling hot, weak, and your vision is blurred.”

Raising her hand to touch her forehead and cheeks, Asaka Ochi exclaimed, “Yeah, I’m boiling up, and I can even feel my breathing becoming hurried. It felt as if I’m being bitten by tens of thousands of ants on my body. Can you come and scratch my back for me?”

As she spoke, she subconsciously used his hand to pat on her body.

Su Tao was overwhelmed with shock as the medicinal effect came too quickly. It had just been ten-odd seconds!

When he was studying medicine, he had tried all sorts of medication, so his body was more resistant to medicine than an ordinary person. However, Asaka Ochi was only an ordinary person, and the moment the aphrodisiac entered her stomach, it immediately spread throughout her nervous system.

Asaka Ochi’s face had turned red as she panted. She was in pain right now while feeling itchy all over her body. Then again, she had studied TCM, so she had some basic knowledge. Even if she had lost her rationale, she could still sense her current abnormal state. It was just as Su Tao had said earlier; there was a problem with the milk!

She instantly linked this matter up with how her husband gave her room keys to Lin Kun and felt depressed. It looked like her husband, Kohei Koizumi, was really determined to push her into Lin Kun’s embrace.

Despite knowing that Kohei Koizumi’s intention was for her own good, she still felt indignant in her heart. After all, he didn’t ask her for her opinion!

In the end, Kohei Koizumi still didn’t understand her. Compared to marrying someone who loved her, she would still choose to marry someone who she loved if she was given another choice in marriage. Even if it was tiring on her, she still felt fulfilled.

As her thoughts wandered around, the effect of the aphrodisiac grew stronger. Asaka Ochi was only wearing a thin nightgown, which she had swiftly removed, as if the nightgown had caught on fire.

Su Tao wanted to stop her, but he never expected that she would be so weak. The moment he touched her, she instantly collapsed, which he could only react to by catching her in his embrace. The two of them looked at each other, and looking at her passionate gaze, Su Tao’s mind exploded.

How could a vase be so warm? Did he really have to shatter the vase to maintain his consciousness?

Even if there was a voice in his mind telling him to calm down, he was slowly losing control of his body.

“Why don’t I tell you a story? Perhaps the two of us will be able to calm down this way.” Su Tao tried his best to change the topic to divert her attention.

“What story?” Asaka Ochi asked.

“A long time ago, a little monk who got to know a young girl. The young girl was actually old, but she had cultivated a martial art that can recover her youth. Every sixty years, she would turn into a little girl. To protect herself from her enemies, the young girl got the kind-hearted monk to be her bodyguard. Hence, the two of them ran together, and they ran to another country’s icehouse. Fearing that the little monk might freeze to death, the young girl, who had gradually recovered her martial arts, found a princess to warm his bed.” But the moment Su Tao spoke, he instantly regretted it. Why did he suddenly think of the story of Tianshan Tonglao, Xuzhu, and Meng Gu?

Isn’t that just pouring oil on the fire?

“A monk and princess? How romantic!” Evidently, Asaka Ochi’s focus wasn’t the same as Su Tao.

Su Tao subconsciously wanted to leave since it was dangerous right now. But he saw Asaka Ochi curling up with her brows locked together. Although the aphrodisiac would gradually wear off, was he really going to allow her to suffer the pain alone?

That is not what a man would do!

“Let me help you!” Su Tao tried his best to restrain the aphrodisiac effect and continued, “You will feel better this way!”

“D-don’t come over!” Asaka Ochi had practically covered her face right now and continued, “I can endure it!”

Su Tao sighed as he strode clumsy steps to the door. Just when he wanted to unlock the door despite the raging aphrodisiac in his body, a surge of warmth came from his back.

He knew that Asaka Ochi had hugged him, and he couldn’t help cursing out. This must be how Xuzhu lost control, right?
