Chapter 67: Sadly They Are Not Innocent~
"Then it's their bad luck that they fell for it.. Besides the effects will wear off in a few hours"
Hearing Noah's cold words, Elysia did not say anything but looked at the direction of the pond with unreadable eyes. "But if by any chance, some innocent is about to suffer because of it tell me…" Noah's voice entered Elysia's ears causing her eyes to slightly widen. "I don't want to be affected by bad karma."
She turned to look at Noah only to see him working on cooking with a serious expression on his face. She had promptly ignored the second sentence he spoke after a short pause.
She would have not even cared if Noah did not say something like that. Even though she was young for the age of the world she had been alive for a long time and had seen all kinds of human faces.
She had seen all kinds of righteousness and evil people. She had witnessed all kinds of crimes too.
So she knew how people with power were, they would just take actions without thinking of their consequences on a larger scale. To them their power was righteousness, Consequences be damned..
For them an eye for an eye was everything, no matter how many bystander bodies are burned in the process.
'Even though he turned the whole pond into an Aphrodisiac he is ready to own up for it.'
Thinking of this a slight smile appeared on her face as she turned away. She turned back towards the direction of the pond and thought.
'Sadly they are not innocent so it's fine if they suffer.'
Reclining back into a relaxing position, Elysia opened her book and started reading it with an aloof expression on her face.
Noah moved his eyes to look at Elysia from the corner of his eyes and thought.
'It seems I got carried away with the newfound strength. I need to keep my actions in check. They might affect others and which in turn can come to bite me in the future. Besides, there is also a certain amount of good karma that I should maintain.'
His thoughts were drawn from the knowledge he obtained from Elysia. In that information it was mentioned that good and bad karma affected all kinds of aspects in persons lives be it their luck or strength.
Enough good karma can strengthen it all. Not thinking any longer Noah turned back to cooking….

Back on the edge of the pond the bandits were already done arranging the tents but still they did not enter their tents because they were feeling strangely hot for quite some time now.
"I need more water!!" The leader yelled with his body dripping in sweat, his eyes limpid. He made his way towards hsi men in a haggard state.
The rest of the men were not in better shape; they were starting to feel their bodies heat up and the heat started to rush to their minds.
"Have we been poisoned?!" One of the men exclaimed as he rushed to the pond of the water.
"I cannot take it anymore." Saying that he ripped his clothes off with his bare hands and jumped into the pond.
"Mee too!!"
"Let me join in too~"
"Fuck off!! I will Go inside first. Don't forget I am your leader!!"
Seeing the first man jump in the pool naked they all started arguing to enter the pool and in the end they all jumped in the pool.
At first they started to feel cool because of the water but then after a few seconds it happened….
"Ahh! Why am I suddenly feeling Hot!!" "Boss, what are you doing?" "Oye Old man Zhao, where are you touching….??"
Sounds of panic resounded in the area as all the men in the group started attacking each other. Even those who had some reasoning lost their senses to the effects of the water.
"Aagg!!"
"AWOOO~~"
The cries of the men echoed along with the cries of the wolves. During the rest of the night, no animal dared to approach the area around the pond because they heard shrill cries of some weird animal. This kind of noise was something they had never heard in their lives.

The next morning the sun rose to the surface marking the dawn of a new day.
At the edge of what used to be a beautiful and scented pond lay a couple of unconscious men whose appearance was Haggard and they were not wearing any clothes on them.
The previously beautiful area had transformed into a devastated land filled with a pungent smell in the air.
Among the group of these men, a few of them laid there hugging each other closely.
As the sun rose, a man started yawning as he tightened his hold on something soft.
"Haa..why does my back feel sore…"
With a long yawn the middle aged looking bald man opened his eyes and the first thing he saw made him freeze.
"I must be dreaming!! Hehe.." the man suddenly closed his eyes to see if he would wake up from this dream or nightmare for him.
When he opened his eyes again his face paled seeing the same sight of an ugly looking man nestling in his arms with a peaceful expression on his face….
*Tremble*
The man trembled in every negative emotion he was feeling, just as he was about to lash out he felt a hold on his body.
Someone was hugging him from behind!!!
What's even worse was that he was feeling something hard and pointy poking his back…
"AAHH!!! OLD MAN ZHAO I WILL FKING KILL YOU!!!" His shout woke up everyone from their sleep. They were still a little groggy from their sleep and some of them were feeling pain in different places.
Then they realized!
"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED??!!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"I WILL KILL YOU!!"
"That was something new…"
Among the shouts of anger and rage, a sudden weird remark caught everyone's attention as they turned to look at the frail looking man in unison.
They looked at him with disgust and a chilling look in their eyes. A single look made the frail looking man tremble.
He covered his body with his hands in response!!!
'This Bastard!'
Seeing this action all of them stopped attacking each other and launched their attacks at him.
