A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 475 475: Survived Death Once

Dirk Carter tapped on the thermos and said, "What's inside here is more poison than medicine. Once you drink it, your entire meridian system will go chaotic, your blood and energy will surge, and it'll feel like countless bugs are eating your flesh and drinking your blood. This process will be extremely painful, and then I'll perform acupuncture on you, reversing your blood network. The whole process will feel worse than dying."

Dirk Carter's words brought a look of fear to Xiaoxue's face.

Dirk Carter continued, "Before the treatment begins, there are two preparatory steps. First, you must take off all your clothes because I need to apply acupuncture. Second, I must tie you to the bed, restrain your hands and feet, and block your mouth. Otherwise, the pain will make you lose control, and I won't be able to perform the acupuncture."

It was apparent.

Xiaoxue's breathing became rapid.

Not to mention the nudity, just the process alone was unimaginable to Xiaoxue.

She was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, she stood up, walked to the window, pulled open the curtains, and looked at the scenery outside.

She was silent for a long time.

She turned and asked, "As long as I endure it, I can survive, right?"

Dirk Carter nodded and said, "In theory, yes. Conversely, if you can't endure it, not only will your illness not get better, it might even accelerate your death. You should understand what I mean."

"Mm."

Xiaoxue nodded.

She took a deep breath and asked resolutely, "When can we start?"

"We can start anytime."

Dirk Carter said.

Xiaoxue said, "I've made up my mind. I accept your treatment."

Dirk Carter shivered slightly and said, "Xiaoxue, I might not have made it clear to you. This process is really bone-crushing and heart-eating..."

"I know. I accept the treatment."

This time, Xiaoxue's tone was very firm.

Dirk Carter opened a bag he brought and took out some ropes and a few towels, saying, "Alright, go take a shower first. When you come out, don't wear any clothes."

"Okay."

Xiaoxue nodded.

She walked into the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of water splashing could be heard.

Dirk Carter found a cup, poured out the medicine, and laid out the needle bag...

Everything was ready.

The bathroom door creaked open.

Dirk Carter looked up, and at that moment, his blood surged.

The scene before him couldn't be described as thrilling; it should be called "thunderous rage."

Of course, by "rage," it refers to the heart.

When Xiaoxue was dressed, she already had a devilishly attractive figure that sparked imagination. Now, undressed, it was beyond his self-control.

Sleek, long legs, a waist as slim as can be, and most arrestingly, the two round, gigantic mounds on her chest provided a strong visual impact.

Not only were they large, but they were also firm, with no sign of sagging, like the reverse of Mount Taishan.

Between her closed legs.

The dense Black Forest was right in front of him.

The hidden and mysterious area was also casting shadows and appearing intermittently.

Her entire body was smooth and translucent as if she were a piece of art.

Dirk Carter's eyes were glued.

"Can we start now?"

Perhaps noticing Dirk Carter's strange gaze, Xiaoxue blushed and asked somewhat shyly.

Dirk Carter snapped back to his senses.

He said, "Yes, drink the medicine first."

Xiaoxue picked up the cup containing a thick, black liquid.

Just smelling it made her feel nauseous, but even so, she gritted her teeth and drank it all in one gulp.

After wiping her mouth.

Dirk Carter pointed at the bed and said, "The medicine will take effect within ten minutes. Lie down, and I'll tie you up."

"Okay."

Xiaoxue nodded.

Climbed onto the bed.

Lied down obediently.

Dirk Carter first wrapped her wrists and ankles with towels to avoid the rope chafing her skin when the pain hit. Then, he had her positioned in a big "X," binding her hands and feet to the bedposts.

This scene became even more provocative.

Dirk Carter also remembered that the last time someone was treated like this, it was Shawn Lambert.

Completely at the mercy of others.

Between her legs, the previously unseen scene was now fully visible.

At a glance, it was a piece of "land" that had never been cultivated, tender and dripping, perhaps due to blood engorgement, it appeared pinkish.

"I have to gag you now."

Dirk Carter picked up the last towel and said.

Xiaoxue nodded and opened her mouth.

Dirk Carter folded the towel into a square and forced it inside.

As soon as this was done, Xiaoxue's complexion turned from rosy to pale, and visible beads of sweat began appearing on her forehead.

Not just that.

Her body began to tremble.

As pain hit like a wave.

All her pores opened, fine beads of sweat seeped out.

Her hands and feet struggled fiercely, and she made muffled sounds from her throat, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid. It was evident that the medicine had taken effect.

This scene was somewhat wrenching.

However, to survive, one had to undergo this process.

Dirk Carter, despite his reluctance.

Understood this necessity.

For a full half-hour.

Dirk Carter did nothing but help wipe her sweat.

Finally, seeing Xiaoxue's nose starting to bleed again.

He knew it was time to act.

Lighting an alcohol lamp, he roasted each needle before inserting it into the acupoints on Xiaoxue's body.

This process was complex and couldn't afford any mistakes. Dirk Carter had to diagnose her pulse while probing. The entire acupuncture process took over four hours.

During these four-plus hours.

Xiaoxue lost consciousness countless times.

Woke up from the pain over and over again.

To be honest, Dirk Carter admired her perseverance.

The pain involved was something only he understood best.

Treatment started from eight in the morning and continued until two in the afternoon.

The whole process lasted six hours.

Xiaoxue was in pain for six hours.

By the time Dirk Carter removed the needles one by one from her body, she had already drifted into a drowsy sleep.

The pain experienced in these six hours surpassed what some people experience in a lifetime.

Dirk Carter carefully untied the ropes.

Even with towels wrapped around.

Her wrists and ankles were still bright red from the restraint, showing how much she struggled at the time.

Finding a dry towel, he gently wiped the sweat off her body, then covered her with a blanket, exhaled a long breath, and sat down in relief.

This wait lasted another six hours.

When Xiaoxue gradually regained consciousness and opened her eyes, night had fallen outside. Dirk Carter was slumped asleep on a chair by her bedside.

The slight movements still woke Dirk Carter.

He suddenly raised his head, only to see Xiaoxue staring at him with wide eyes, unmoving.

"You're awake?"

Dirk Carter quickly pulled her hand from under the blanket, checked her pulse, pondered for a moment, and asked, "How do you feel?"
