After walking up to Mu Ningxue, Gu Ming truly realized the charm of this stunner.
A fragrant scent hit his nose first, jolting his spirits. Her pure and gorgeous face was full of charm and seduction under the effect of the Aphrodisiac Flower, making it impossible for anyone to look away. Her face was flushed, and even the tips of her ears were tinged with a faint red. She looked like a delicate, shy young bride on her wedding night. Her hazy eyes were like hooks, casting ripples into his heart. Her tender red lips parted slightly as she exhaled ragged breath, like a soul-stealing messenger.
Beautiful.
Truly beautiful.
She was a peerless stunner.
Gu Ming couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. In this world, very few people could resist Mu Ningxue’s allure at this moment. He was no exception. However, he knew that if he acted on his wicked thoughts and took her Primordial Yin, the Divine Maiden of the Divine Maiden Palace would fall. The world would lose a peerless expert who could deter the Demon Cult in the future. He couldn’t ruin everything for a moment’s pleasure.
Gu Ming suppressed the heat in his gut while maintaining the Spiritual Energy Barrier. After some hesitation, he reached out. He didn’t dare grab her forcefully, fearing her resistance. If she fought back, physical contact would be inevitable. He was afraid he would lose his composure and fail to maintain the Spiritual Energy Barrier, leading to a catastrophic mistake.
Without the influence of the Aphrodisiac Flower, Mu Ningxue was already captivating. If the Spiritual Energy Barrier broke and the scent took hold, he feared he would lose control.
Mu Ningxue was confused, her hazy eyes staring straight at him. She wanted to speak, but her throat was parched. Moreover, the man’s masculine hormones were hitting her, stripping away her rationality bit by bit. She wanted to pounce on him, to kiss him, and to be kissed.
However, her remaining reason forcefully suppressed those filthy thoughts. Mu Ningxue felt deeply ashamed. She didn’t understand why she had such thoughts.
Looking at the man before her—though he was the Fifth Heavenly King of the Demon Cult—his features were well-defined and handsome. He had a unique aura that made it hard not to look. Just by looking at his build, his muscles under his clothes must be hard and firm.
Just the thought of it was enough to make one drool.
‘Tsk, I really want to see and touch them.’
‘Ah— Mu Ningxue, what are you thinking? How can you have such filthy thoughts! You can’t! You shouldn’t!’
Mu Ningxue was almost driven mad by her own crazy and indecent thoughts. Previously, she had always been dedicated to her cultivation and never had such dirty ideas. Now, trapped in the sea of Aphrodisiac Flowers, ridiculous and shameful thoughts came one after another.
‘This flower… is truly wicked!’
Mu Ningxue was resentful and made a silent vow that if she left this place safely, she would burn these flowers to the ground.
Seeing that Mu Ningxue had not responded for a long time, Gu Ming frowned slightly. He could clearly feel that his Spiritual Energy was depleting faster and faster. If he didn’t take Mu Ningxue away soon, things would turn bad.
Thus, he urged her impatiently, “If you want to leave here safely, take my hand!”
Mu Ningxue shook her head slightly. She even wanted to step back to put distance between them. However, as she retreated, her feverish and weak body suddenly lost its strength, and she began to fall backward.
The scenery began to recede, and Gu Ming’s figure faded from her view as she fell. Just as Mu Ningxue cried out, her back was supported by a strong hand, and her slender waist was held firm.
When she regained her senses, Mu Ningxue was shocked to find that the person who caught her was the Fifth Heavenly King of the Demon Cult. Her beautiful eyes widened, filled with surprise. Her thoughts were suddenly pulled back to the prison cell where she had first met Gu Ming.
She hadn’t thought much of it then, but now that she considered it, Gu Ming’s actions at that time were quite strange. He hadn’t actually taken liberties with her; he had only toyed with her feet. Although he had claimed he would take her Primordial Yin, he never actually did anything. She believed that if he had wanted to, he could have taken her first time right then and there, but he didn’t. He even killed the jailer who was lusting after her body.
Why? Was it to cover up some secret?
Could it be!
Mu Ningxue’s pupils suddenly dilated. Could it be that he… he was—
“Do you like men?” Mu Ningxue asked, her eyes suddenly lighting up with realization.
“Huh?”
Gu Ming froze on the spot. Then, his face darkened. ‘Lady, you shouldn’t spread rumors like that.’
“I’m right, aren’t I?”
“…”
“I’m right, right?!”
“…”
Sometimes, when a person is speechless to the extreme, they can only laugh. At this moment, that was exactly how Gu Ming felt.
Seeing Gu Ming laugh, Mu Ningxue became even more convinced of her judgment. She said excitedly, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep your secret.”
While she said this, Mu Ningxue was secretly happy that she had grasped the weakness of the Fifth Heavenly King. She believed that as long as she held this over him, he would have to obey her. She couldn’t help but let the corners of her mouth curl up.
One look at her expression and Gu Ming knew what she was thinking, but he didn’t bother to explain. He just wanted to leave as quickly as possible. If they didn’t hurry, he really wouldn’t be able to hold on.
Right then, a pair of slender hands gripped his arms, startling him. He couldn’t help but shout angrily, “What are you doing?!”
Startled by his shout, Mu Ningxue frowned and mocked, “What, you can’t even handle being touched by a woman?”
‘You have got to be kidding me…’
Gu Ming’s face was covered in dark lines, and large beads of sweat kept rolling down his cheeks. His Spiritual Energy was being frantically drained by Mu Ningxue’s hands—more accurately, by the pair of gloves she was wearing.
He had guarded against everything, but he hadn’t expected her to pull a stunt like this.
“You said I like men?”
“Ah?”
Seeing the look in Gu Ming’s eyes, Mu Ningxue was startled, but she still stubbornly asked, “No, am I wrong?”
“Mu Ningxue, you asked for this!”
As his Spiritual Energy was drained away, the barrier that had been resisting the erosion of the Aphrodisiac Flowers collapsed instantly. The fragrance rushed into his nose, and the suppressed heat erupted like a volcano. There was no holding it back.
Gu Ming’s defenses shattered. He pinned Mu Ningxue to the ground and, before her wide-eyed gaze, ruthlessly blocked her red lips. He rudely forced open her teeth and began to raid her mouth.
Mu Ningxue struggled weakly at first, but under the influence of the flowers and Gu Ming’s fierce assault, her remaining sanity gradually vanished. Finally, her body went limp, and she stopped resisting. She proactively reached out her snowy-white arms and gently hooked them around his neck.
Her long, slender legs also uncontrollably wrapped around Gu Ming’s waist.
Mu Ningxue’s hazy eyes held a hint of plea. ‘Be gentle… it’s my first time…’
