    Chapter Index

    Back at the villa, Qiao Qiao put a tank of hot water for himself, firstly to warm his body, and secondly to take advantage of this opportunity to clear his mind.

    Although she had a preliminary guess, it was unheard of to manipulate the air in an open space. Moreover, this villa faced the sea, with a steady stream of sea breeze blowing over it. If the floral fragrance came from the land, what dose and wind force would be needed to ensure that they would not be blown away by the sea breeze?

    Paradise Island can no longer be called rich, it is called not treating money as money.

    The warm hot water enveloped his body. Qiao Qiao closed his eyes and slowly sank into the water, leaving only his nostrils to breathe.

    Hmm, I wonder how Song Qiyan and the others are doing…

    She must have gone crazy after finding out she participated in the third round of the bug-fighting competition, right?

    Qiao Qiao spit out a few bubbles in distress. The change happened so quickly that he didn’t leave a word for them. Now the two sides are completely unable to communicate, and they can only contact each other after the game is over.

    …But by then, I’m afraid she’ll be greeted by more than just a violent storm.

    Qiao Qiao shivered, and her enthusiasm for taking a bath was mostly extinguished. She dried her body hastily and left the bathroom.

    After changing clothes and going downstairs, Aladdin had already prepared a meal. As usual, Qiao Qiao only ate a little food needed to maintain daily activities and left the table.

    The scoreboard in the living room is still the same. In the past 12 hours, everyone’s scores have remained unchanged as if they were frozen. It seems that the situation of others is not optimistic either.

    Now is the time for the third round to decide. Whoever can resist the desire and continue to score will win the final victory.

    “Where’s Yingying?” Qiao Qiao thought of something, “Where has he gone?”

    “In his room, right?” someone answered, “I just saw him showing up this morning. Why don’t you go up and have a look?”

    “No… help me call him down. I’ll meet him here.”

    Yingying is now a key prevention personnel, and Qiao Qiao feels that he should be more cautious.

    Soon, Hotaru went downstairs.

    Qiao Qiao deliberately didn’t look at him, but fortunately she was quite skilled at this trick: “Have you found the next scoring point?”

    “No, but I found a strange place that may be connected to a secret room.”

    Qiao Qiao immediately became interested: “Really? Then invite everyone to have a look and brainstorm to see if we can open the secret room.”

    Yingying hesitated for a moment: “How about you go and take a look first? I’m not sure, I just feel like…”

    “Okay, where is it?”

    As long as she scored one more point, Qiao Qiao would be firmly in the top three, so she eagerly agreed without much thought, mainly because she was afraid that she would lose her mind if the third round didn’t end.

    Firefly took her to the top floor, where there was a large swimming pool. The two of them walked around from one side and entered the shower room next to it.

    “This brick doesn’t sound right.” Firefly knocked somewhere. “It’s very empty. There seems to be something behind it.”

    Qiao Qiao also knocked, and the sound was indeed different from the bricks next to her. After thinking about it for a while, she made a quick decision: “Break it open and take a look.”

    “Smash it open?” Yingying was stunned, “Can it be done?”

    “What’s wrong? I don’t believe that Paradise Island is so dignified that I have to pay for breaking a few bricks.” Qiao Qiao gestured with his hand, “This is it. I’ll go downstairs to find a hammer.”

    “It’s better for me to go, and I’ll call a few more people up.”

    Yingying said and walked out. The shower room was not big, and there were only about ten steps from where the two of them were to the door.

    He stood by the door, pulled it but it didn’t open, pulled it again and it still didn’t open, and pulled it again and it still didn’t open.

    “What’s wrong?” Qiao Qiao felt something was wrong and came over, “Is it stuck?”

    She tried to pull the door, but it didn’t move at all. It didn’t look like it was stuck, but it seemed like it had been locked deliberately by someone.

    Qiao Qiao’s face turned green for a moment.

    She twisted the door handle hard, pulled it back and forth, left and right, and even kicked it a few times. However, this villa was so high-end that even the shower door was so strong. She was sweating from exhaustion, but the door was still fine.

    “No, you come.” Qiao Qiao motioned to Ying.

    She didn’t have much hope for Yingying. Yingying’s body was too weak and she was as slender as Jian Baiyou. If there was even a chance that Aladdin was here, Ying could forget it.

    Sure enough, after Yingying kicked it for a long time, the door remained intact.

    “Do you remember who followed us upstairs?” Qiao Qiao asked, “Is it a prank?”

    Yingying shook her head: “This door has no keyhole.”

    Qiao Qiao recalled carefully that she did not see a keyhole in the door when she came in. It was precisely because she did not see a keyhole that she dared to follow Yingying into the shower room.

    Too careless!

    Qiao Qiao was so anxious that he couldn’t even use a bench in the shower room. It was either an immovable marble sink or a beautiful crystal shower head, all welded to the ground. It couldn’t be used as a weapon to smash the door.

    “It must have been locked by mistake. It will open automatically in an hour.” Yingying found a clean place and sat on the floor. “Let’s just wait. Usually no one comes to the top floor. Even if you shout hoarsely, others can’t hear you.”

    Qiao Qiao didn’t answer, so she began to study the window and consider the possibility of jumping out of it.However, due to the high number of floors, it would most likely result in a broken leg, so we had to give up in the end.

    But if I stay alone with Hotaru——

    The floral fragrance in the air seemed to become stronger. Qiao Qiao wet a towel and covered his mouth and nose. Although he didn’t know if it was useful, it was better than nothing.

    She doesn’t believe in accidental locks. Paradise Island is a place where you can spend money at any cost for a little comfort. Everything eaten and used here is carefully selected, and there are no defective products that may be accidentally locked.

    The door was locked on purpose.

    Qiao Qiao thought calmly, probably because she performed too well and kept her sanity. She passed the two times she was affected by drugs without any danger. At this rate, the third round would be over soon, so those who were secretly spying on her began to worry.

    Phew…

    In a confined space, those people will definitely increase the concentration of drugs. Opening the windows for ventilation will be useless. What should I do?

    Qiao Qiao suddenly thought of something and glanced at Yingying with dark eyes.

    No.

    What am I thinking?

    Qiao Qiao pinched her palm suddenly, and the pain stimulated her brain to wake up a little. She couldn’t help breaking out in a cold sweat. Just now, she thought it would be better to kill Ying. As long as she was the only one left in the house, she would never be bewitched again.

    It seems that Paradise Island is slowly corrupting her.

    “I understand.” Qiao Qiao jumped up and said, “Hurry and find the secret room. The trigger must be in this room. If you search carefully, you can find it.”

    After she said this, Yingying naturally had no reason to continue resting, so the two of them searched the small room of dozens of square meters, one at a time.

    In fact, Qiao Qiao thought very simply. As long as he found the secret room and physically isolated the two people, no matter how powerful the medicine was, it would be useless. He could also score a fourth point and kill two birds with one stone.

    I just don’t know if it’s because she found the secret room quickly or because the medicine took effect quickly, but I hope she can hold on longer.

    Fifteen minutes passed unknowingly, and Qiao Qiao could already feel changes in his body. His heart was pounding, and his blood flow was significantly accelerated. Looking in the mirror, his face turned red as if he was drunk, and his reactions became slower and slower. He only became extremely sharp when capturing Yingying’s figure and scent.

    She ordered Yingying to stay as far away from her as possible, but she also knew in her heart that this would have limited effect. After all, she gave the order. She could tell Yingying to stay away, or she could tell Yingying to come right away.

    Pain is now her only life-saving straw. Her left palm has been pinched in several places, and her right leg is also bruised. As she inhales more and more drugs, the pain level can only increase again and again. If pinching her legs doesn’t work, she pinches her hands. If pinching doesn’t work, she pinches her hands. She uses all possible means.

    “Your hands are bleeding.”

    Qiao Qiao’s body trembled, and she swallowed: “Didn’t I tell you to stay away from me?”

    Firefly: “You asked me to come here.”

    Qiao Qiao held his forehead: “Really?”

    She had no memory at all. Her memory was blank for about ten seconds, as if someone had taken a section of it away.

    “Let me wrap it up for you.”

    Qiao Qiao: “No, stay away from me.”

    Hotaru didn’t move.

    “Didn’t you hear?” Qiao Qiao emphasized, “Stay away from me.”

    Firefly looked at her: “You seem to be in trouble, I can help you.”

    “No need. If you are free, you might as well think about how to open this secret room.”

    “I know how to drive it, I’ve found a way.”

    Qiao Qiao subconsciously wanted to look at him, but when his eyes reached his chin, he remembered that he must not look at Ying at this time, so he looked away again in embarrassment.

    She heard Yingying ask: “Why can you resist?”

    “Huh?” Qiao Qiao twitched his lips, “You really know something. You have a mission when you enter the villa, right?”

    “Maybe they don’t, but I do. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I locked the door.”

    He moved closer.

    Qiao Qiao found with some despair that she could determine Yingying’s location now without looking at it, just by smelling it.For the first time, she discovered that her nose was so sensitive that it could capture all the male hormones in the air.

    “Now that we’ve come to this point, tell me the truth about this round of competition.” Qiao Qiao smiled sadly, “I can’t escape, the door can’t be opened, and the effects of the medicine are about to take effect. You win.”

    “I can’t win without medicine.” Ying said calmly, “I originally thought I wouldn’t be able to use these methods, but you are really powerful, the most powerful woman I have ever seen.”

    Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but laugh, dripping with sweat: “Do you know why?”

    “Why?”

    “Because you are not that good-looking.” She said every word. “I have seen people who are better-looking than you. To be honest, that’s all.”
