Chapter 336 Even a Train Can Overturn (2/2)
He could have left for Bread Town now, but he preferred to make a clean break. He wanted to say goodbye to Shalim Talman before he left.
After a while, footsteps resounded from the outside corridor. Soon, someone knocked on his door.
Ning Tao kept his cell phone and got up to open the door.
The moment the door opened, Shalim Talman immediately dashed into Ning Tao’s arms, embracing him tightly. She started to sob on his shoulder, saying in a choked voice, “Professor Jade… is gone.”
“Did he leave painlessly?” Ning Tao asked gently.
“He was still talking to us when he suddenly died. I think… he did not suffer much pain.”
Ning Tao felt quite consoled in his heart. He patted Shalim Talman’s shoulder. “Don’t be sad. His next stop will be Heaven. He will be very happy there.”
Shalim Talman released Ning Tao. “Have a drink with me, won’t you?”
Only now did Ning Tao see the whiskey bottle in her hand. He had wanted to bid her goodbye, leave the palace, and head for Bread Town. But seeing her tear-stained face, he could not bear to leave her. So he said, “Alright, I’ll have two glasses with you.”
Although he had said only two glasses, the whiskey bottle was soon completely empty. Ning Tao and Shalim Talman had each drunk half a bottle. Ning Tao was still sober, but Shalim Talman was drunk.
The two of them were sitting side by side. After her final glass, Shalim Talman slumped her body onto Ning Tao’s lap, her hot breath with the odor of honey and malt overwhelming his pants.
Ning Tao felt somewhat embarrassed. “Let me help you up the bed to rest.”
“Okay, I’ll get… get on your bed.” Shalim Talman’s speech was already quite slurred.
Ning Tao gave a wry smile and stretched out his arms to hold her. He walked to the bed and said at the same time, “Princess Shalim, have a good sleep. I need to say goodbye. I have to go.”
Shalim Talman suddenly stretched out her arms and caught Ning Tao by his neck. She extended her swan-like neck and planted her tender lips with some residual whiskey onto Ning Tao’s.
Ning Tao instantly froze, but he could not just throw her on the floor. He could only quicken his pace and walk towards the bed. His kind stance helped intensify Shalim Talman’s smothering emotions. She not only kissed him, but also started to caress.
In the ensuing chaos, Ning Tao lost his balance while trying to put Shalim Talman to bed. The two of them collapsed onto the bed. Before he could push her away, her arms had entwined him like an octopus with suckers.
“Don’t… don’t do this.” Ning Tao was very nervous. His body was like a tautly drawn bow which might release an arrow anytime.
But why would Shalim Talman listen to him?
Suddenly, Ning Tao’s body seemed struck by an electric bolt and it froze. Only now did he discover his zip was undone, during that brief period of confusion…
Human beings have limited tolerance. Even Qing Zhui had not gone so far with him. His sanity was like a bamboo fence blocking before a train, smashed instantaneously into smithereens by the ramming train. Just at this moment when his sanity was disintegrating, he brutally turned over his body and clambered over Shalim Talman…
Knock, knock, knock!
Suddenly, there were knocks at the door.
Ning Tao froze, as if drained of power. His sanity returned and he realized that he could have easily stopped Shalim Talman. He had many easy routes he could take, like inserting a Sacred Needle to give her a good night’s sleep, or reciting Your Text. Either option would have worked.
Yet he had not done either.
Then, he remembered that condom which he was unwilling to discard. He started mumbling in his heart, “Am I subconsciously desiring a sexual encounter?”
Knock, knock, knock!
The knocks on the door resounded again, accompanied by Joseph Talman’s voice. “Doctor Ning, are you inside? Please open the door. I would like to speak to you.”
Ning Tao had completely “recovered”. But Shalim Talman was still entwining him like a snake, her eyes blurry, her panting breaths short and frantic. In her present condition, she would not have cared about the voice outside the door.
“I rest within the womb, listening to the sound of the Way.”
After reciting this line, Ning Tao completely froze all the smoldering desires in his body. His palm soon touched Shalim Talman’s arteries on her neck, pressing them down with his spiritual power. Shalim Talman instantly passed out.
Ning Tao frantically got down the bed and pulled up the blanket on Shalim Talman. Then he walked towards the door, in the meantime carelessly tidying his disheveled clothes.
“Doctor Ning, if you won’t open the door, I’ll enter myself.” It was Joseph Talman’s voice.
His sixth sense was suddenly awakened, making him vigilant!
Ning Tao immediately halted his steps and instinct made him summon the states of looking and smelling in his eyes and nose. In the blink of an eye, he saw a colorful innate aura from under the door. But it was not the innate aura of a single person. There were also the odors of more than 20 men, as well as the smell of firearms seeping into his nostrils.
He had not wanted to talk. Instead, he was trying to nab him!
He might even kill to silence him!
If Joseph Talman was certain he knew the secret of that book, he would have sufficient motive to kill and silence him!
He did not hesitate in the least. He immediately grabbed his small medicine chest on the tea table and leaped down.

Bang!
The room door was barged open. A squad of commandos armed to the teeth dashed into the room.
But Ning Tao was nowhere to be found.
Joseph Talman glanced at Shalim Talman lying on the bed and his eyes shifted to the bedside. He was immediately stunned.
There was a pair of purple Victoria’s Secret lingerie there.
It curled quietly on the floor in a messy state, as if telling a heartbreaking tale.
