Bang!
Luo Shuiling dragged Yun Hao into the wooden house and kicked aside the obstructing wooden table without hesitation. Her lovely face was covered in frost, her expression chillingly frightening.
The youth had struggled the entire way. Although it had no physical effect on her, it left her heart increasingly stifled and bitter.
Before he left for training, Yun Hao had been utterly obedient to her.
Now, after more than ten days apart, he had become somewhat disobedient. He kept resisting her. That pure, innocent gaze no longer lingered on her, and even the words “Senior Sister” only came when she forced them from him.
Luo Shuiling felt the brocade pouch in her left palm and recalled how Yun Hao had cherished it moments ago. Jealousy surged wildly inside her.
She had endured more than ten days of wind and sun on this empty Sect Master Peak, yet that little slut Lin Shengyu had monopolized Yun Hao’s tenderness. Not only had they become betrothed, but she had shamelessly given him a brocade pouch.
This was unfair! Yun Hao was clearly the one she had brought back. Without her, the youth would still be who-knows-where. He should have stayed by her side forever. There was no reason for him to simply follow someone else.
As for Lin Shengyu, she had only secured the betrothal thanks to Elder Lin Xian’s protection. Yun Hao had agreed out of responsibility and gratitude; he did not truly like her. The whole thing was fake.
The more Luo Shuiling thought about it, the more resentful she became. That old fox Lin Xian had set a trap for her, not only tripping her up but also binding Yun Hao. And Lin Shengyu was no good either. How long had it been, and she was already giving Yun Hao a brocade pouch? She wanted to snatch him away from her so quickly.
She would not allow it!
Luo Shuiling calmed the sour jealousy in her heart and looked at Yun Hao again. The youth’s uneasy expression stirred something inside her—both delight and dissatisfaction.
The delight came from knowing she could still control him at will; he could not escape. The dissatisfaction came from disliking the trace of fear in the way he looked at her. It made her heart ache. She was not some terrifying demon beast who would torment him.
Still, the necessary punishment had to be given. Once Yun Hao yielded, she would ease up a little. She did feel sorry for him.
Luo Shuiling lightly pulled with her right arm toward the bed. With a startled cry from Yun Hao, she tossed him onto it. Her expression remained coldly indifferent, revealing nothing of joy or sorrow.
“Do you know your mistake?”
The youth’s red, swollen, tear-filled eyes stared straight at her. His pitiful appearance stirred a trace of reluctance in Luo Shuiling’s heart, yet her attitude stayed firm.
“…I don’t know what I did wrong…”
“You don’t know what you did wrong?! Why didn’t you return to Sect Master Peak for so many days!”
Yun Hao’s denial once again ignited dissatisfaction in Luo Shuiling’s heart. He still didn’t realize his mistake!
“Elder Lin passed away. I had to stay and take care of my junior sister. She’s just an ordinary person; I needed to look after her.”
“Hah! That’s no excuse. Lin Xian was a Void Condensation Realm powerhouse. Would he really have left no contingencies for Lin Shengyu? In the end, you simply didn’t want to come back. You’ve grown lazy in your cultivation.”
Luo Shuiling scoffed at Yun Hao’s explanation. She unilaterally decided he had become too immersed in Lin Shengyu’s gentle embrace and therefore unwilling to return to her side.
“You! Senior Sister, why are you being so unreasonable! You refuse to believe me.”
Yun Hao felt extremely wronged. While he had been on Western Peak, he had thought of Senior Sister day and night. But Elder Lin’s lifespan was nearly over, and his junior sister still needed his care. That was why he had delayed his return. Now that he had finally settled everything, he had rushed back the moment he had time.
Yet what awaited him was the news that the Clear Mist Flower had been given away and Senior Sister’s aggressive attitude. Not only that, she had taken the brocade pouch and demanded he admit fault. But he had done nothing wrong—why should he admit anything? He refused!
Yun Hao began to act as if he had nothing left to lose. No matter how Luo Shuiling pressed him, he would not admit he was wrong. Even as Senior Sister’s face grew colder and colder, he forced himself to keep arguing despite his fear.
………..
Luo Shuiling grew even more jealous. For that little slut, Yun Hao was actually arguing with her for so long. Her heart hardened. Fine—she was done talking.
“…I can’t be bothered arguing with you anymore. Come here. I’m going to use dual cultivation to check your recent progress.”
“…No, I don’t want to.”
Yun Hao still refused. He was acting a little childish now. He could not win against Senior Sister, but he no longer wanted to let her have her way. He wanted to go against her.
But those words seemed to enrage Luo Shuiling completely. Her lovely face darkened. Without a word, she walked to the edge of the bed.
“Ah!”
Luo Shuiling stepped lightly onto the bed and pushed Yun Hao down without hesitation. Even when the youth collided heavily with the mattress, her expression did not change.
Her two jade-like hands braced her body while pinning both of Yun Hao’s arms down hard, forcing him to meet her gaze. His legs were still struggling, but she applied a slight wisp of spiritual power and instantly suppressed all his movements.
Their current position had Luo Shuiling pressing down firmly from above. Her ample chest was only a hair’s breadth away from touching Yun Hao’s.
Yun Hao looked at the woman he loved, who was staring coldly back at him. He felt the warmth of their tightly pressed legs. In the end, he yielded.
His handsome face flushed red. He turned his head away, refusing to look at her directly. The neck that had been slightly exposed during their earlier tugging now bloomed with a layer of crimson, looking especially enticing. He tried hard to hide his grievance and confusion and murmured,
“…Senior Sister, I was wrong… It was my mistake. Please let me go, alright?”
This position was far too intimate for a man and woman. Although he also wanted to be close to Senior Sister like this, the situation was clearly wrong. He did not want to prolong the entanglement.
Yet Luo Shuiling made no move at all. She ignored his words and continued gazing down at him from above.
Yun Hao could not stand being stared at like this. Senior Sister’s gaze was too invasive; it made him uncomfortable. He was just about to speak again when he realized her spiritual power had quietly invaded his meridians at some point.
The sensation this time was completely different from the previous dual cultivation. Last time, although Senior Sister had been like a bottomless pit that could never be filled, the amount had still depended on him.
This time, however, Senior Sister was actively sending her spiritual power into his meridians and drawing from him without pause. No matter how much his qi sea replenished, her spiritual power would snatch it all away. He simply could not keep up with her absorption.
Slowly, that previous feeling of something draining from his body returned. It was not painful, yet it brought a constant discomfort, accompanied by waves of dizziness. Even the things he saw before his eyes began to blur.
He no longer wanted to continue dual cultivating and tried to get up, but he could not muster a single ounce of strength. He could only shake his head weakly and murmur in a daze,
“…Don’t… Senior Sister, please let me go… I don’t want this…”
But Senior Sister acted as if she had not heard him. The force with which she drew his spiritual power grew stronger and stronger. Finally, he could no longer endure it and fainted.
In the last moment before losing consciousness, he glanced at Senior Sister from the corner of his eye… For some reason, Senior Sister’s face seemed… very red.
…………
“…No, I don’t want to.”
Hearing the youth’s refusal, Luo Shuiling pressed down on Yun Hao with wordless jealous fury. Her spiritual power invaded his meridians without hesitation.
(Hah! You don’t want to? Fine—then I’ll do it myself!)
………….
“…Senior Sister, I was wrong… It was my mistake. Please let me go, alright.”
(Begging for mercy? Useless! I’m going to punish you properly! I’m going to cover you with my scent again!)
She released her suppression of the Ice Jade Physique and let its nature run free. The temperature around them plummeted sharply, yet she felt comfortable all over—especially in her lower abdomen, where a warm, tingling sensation spread.
Luo Shuiling stopped holding back. She panted heavily, her eyes growing hazy and her lovely face flushing deeper and deeper. Instead of suppressing the strange sensation as she had before, she surrendered to it completely, sinking into it.
“Ha… ha…”
Her body softened. Her jade-like fingers gripped the youth beneath her arms tightly, and her snow-white toes curled together. Her entire body tensed, trembling slightly.
The powerless, faint refusals from the person beneath her displeased her, yet they excited her even more. Her beautiful eyes misty, she gazed at the small youth and liked him more and more the longer she looked. This child was the one she had picked up. He was meant to be hers. No one could take him away, and no one would.
Waves of scorching heat crashed against her lower abdomen one after another. It felt like swinging on a swing as a child—pushed higher and higher each time, each peak greater than the last.
She felt as if something was about to flow out, but it did not matter. She had said she would reapply her scent to Yun Hao. The body was only the first step; afterward, she would slowly change his mind.
She caressed the youth’s body with fascination. He was much healthier than when he had first arrived at the sect. Although still slender, he was no longer frail. It was a pity he was still a little short, but that was fine—he was only sixteen. He had plenty of time to grow.
As long as he stayed obediently by her side, that was enough.
Luo Shuiling could not hold back. She let out a low, coquettish moan that seemed capable of melting bones—soft, charming, and seductive.
“Mmm…”
She felt that something was about to come. It was strange, yet she did not dislike it…
Her eyes misty with desire, cherry lips pressed tightly together, jade hands clutching the youth’s sleeve, her body stiffened for a moment before going completely limp.
“Ha… ha…”
Luo Shuiling lay powerless, her entire body pressing down on Yun Hao. She panted heavily. Sweat dampened the dark strands at her temples, making her look somewhat exhausted.
After resting for a moment, she came back to herself. Feeling the youth pressed tightly against her and her already thoroughly soaked undergarments, an unnatural blush rose on her lovely face. Although it had been a little wanton, she did not regret it. She had said she would cover Yun Hao with her scent again.
She forced herself upright and rolled over. Lying on her back, she stared at the roof beams in a daze. After a while, she turned her head to look at the unconscious youth.
His brows were slightly furrowed, as if carrying endless worry. His face had lost its healthy color and looked pale.
Looking at Yun Hao like this, Luo Shuiling felt a surge of pity. Why won’t you just listen? If you stay with me obediently, I will protect you.
Wearily, she pulled Yun Hao into her arms. She had not slept for more than ten days. Even as a cultivator, she could not withstand such exhaustion.
Holding Yun Hao like this, feeling the youth’s scent in her embrace, she fell into a deep sleep.
