Chapter 46: Lingyue’s Strange Ways of Playing

The moment the wedding chamber door glowed red in Ling Yue’s palm, the runes flickered even more violently than before.

The room looked the same, yet somehow different.

The four red light orbs floating in the corners had shifted—now two high, two low in a staggered arrangement, casting sharp, dark red geometric lines across the black bedspread.

The items on the shelf had been rearranged.

In the center sat a new foldable low table.

On it lay a row of objects she couldn’t identify at first—ranging from thin to thick, metal to wood, silver to dark crimson.

Fengling was still disoriented from being carried in, but she already knew a few of those things would touch her tonight.

“Today’s game will be a bit more exciting~”

Ling Yue said as she set Xiao Fengling down in the middle of the bed.

This time Fengling’s hands were bound together and stretched above her head, but her legs were free—she could kick, curl, or struggle.

“No blindfold today, so you don’t have to guess what I’m doing… You just watch and accept. Whatever you see, you have to accept, okay?”

With that, she picked up a silver object from the low table and clipped it onto the bite mark just below Fengling’s right collarbone.

“First one.”

A chill of metal pierced through skin and into bone.

It didn’t hurt much, but after clipping it on, Ling Yue gently flicked the end of the clamp, making it vibrate across the nerve endings under her skin and forcing a soft gasp from Fengling’s lips.

Ling Yue then attached the same items to the side of her left ribcage and the insides of both thighs—four points spread across her body.

“Now it’s increased from four to six~”

Next, Ling Yue picked up two new objects from the table.

Two small rings with obvious clasps at the openings.

She fastened one onto the cartilage of Fengling’s left ear, then mirrored it on the right.

Fengling’s ears were already sensitive.

After the rings were on, she could clearly feel every slight engorgement and deflation of her earlobes.

And of course, the resonance of the cartilage when Ling Yue’s fingers played with the rings.

“Sister Ling Yue, where did you get all these?” she asked.

“Some I bought, some I made myself.”

Ling Yue then ran her fingers over every clamp and ring in sequence—from left collarbone to right thigh, from right ear to left ear—each touch perfectly timed so that just as Fengling’s previous sensation faded, the next one arrived.

“You… you can even… make… these yourself?”

Fengling gritted her teeth, enduring the sensations, but still managed to ask.

“Of course. I’ve lived for thousands of years and learned many crafts. This is nothing~”

Ling Yue picked out a metal tool from the row…

One end was sharp but tipped with a protective rounded point, while the other end held a small red gem.

“For example, this one is specially used for drawing temporary magic runes on skin.”

“So you’re going to prick me with a needle and draw runes on me so I can cast magic while being stabbed?” Fengling tilted her head.

“Not attack magic. Perception enhancement.”

Ling Yue gently pressed the needle tip just below Fengling’s ribs and began drawing a simple circular rune array.

“After this, the sensitivity of this area will increase several times… A light touch that normally feels like nothing will feel like repeated caresses while the enhancement rune is active… So, want to try?”

Hearing that, Fengling swallowed and asked, “Can I choose not to?”

“Sure.”

Ling Yue pulled the needle back, twirled it between her fingers, then added, “Then I’ll just draw it somewhere else.”

“…That’s not really a choice, is it!”

“Nope~”

The needle tip descended again—this time right below her collarbone.

Ling Yue drew the rune very lightly, the tip only piercing the outermost layer of skin, just deep enough to draw a tiny bead of blood.

And as she drew, she pressed her other hand gently on Fengling’s chest, feeling her heartbeat.

“Xiao Fengling’s heart is beating a third faster than before~ Is it because of the needle, or because… I’m touching you? Hmm?”

“Probably both…”

Fengling trembled.

“Mmm, an honest good girl. Then here’s a small reward.”

Ling Yue leaned down, touched her lips lightly to the spot where the rune had just been drawn, then followed up with a bite.

But instead of biting deeper, she stopped the fangs just inside the dermis, letting them sink into the flesh while her lips pressed against the skin and gently sucked.

As blood flowed along the grooves of her fangs into Ling Yue’s mouth, the sensation of blood loss mixed with muscle spasms surged up.

And it happened right when the rune array was completed—just below the collarbone, three fingers above the heart, on the skin area just activated by the enhancement rune.

Fengling’s entire body tensed.

“Now the rune array is active~”

Ling Yue set the needle aside and lightly traced a circle over the rune with her finger.

“Ah… don’t, don’t touch… there… don’t…”

“Xiao Fengling, when the brain processes nerve signals that are too pleasurable, it sometimes temporarily misinterprets them as a type of pain~ Do you know what that means?”

“What does it mean…”

Fengling’s eyes were already wet.

“It means Xiao Fengling’s body is slowly adapting… Before, you couldn’t handle this sensation, so your brain automatically filtered it out. Now it doesn’t filter anymore, and you can feel everything—that’s growth~”

There it was again.

What kind of demonic parenting theory was that?

Over the next period of time, Ling Yue used every tool from the low table on her.

Each one had a different feel—icy metal, rough wood, or some unknown material she couldn’t identify.

And before each new tool, Ling Yue would let her feel it for a few seconds, then try it again within the rune array’s range, letting her compare the difference before and after enhancement.

“All done.”

Finally, Ling Yue put the last tool back on the table, reached out to slowly unclip the clamps, and removed the earrings one by one.

“Now I’ll deactivate the enhancement rune… like this.”

She pressed her palm, glowing with red light, into the rune array on Fengling’s body.

Then, a wave of warmth receded from beneath the skin along the neural network, and her sensitivity returned to normal.

“OK, today’s second level is over… Xiao Fengling improved a lot from last time—no screaming or crying from start to finish,” Ling Yue said with a smile.

“I don’t have the strength to scream anymore…”

Fengling lay limp on the black silk, her chest rising and falling with each breath.

“Good, that means your stamina was used right up to the limit—not too much, not too little.”

Ling Yue nodded in satisfaction.

…

Ling Yue carried Fengling back to the bedroom in a princess carry.

Mainly because she had no energy left in her body—she couldn’t even walk.

“Hey… Sister Ling Yue, those things you bought—are they what you meant by ‘shopping for materials’ that time?”

Fengling asked softly.

“Some of them.”

“By the way, when you were still human, did you also like buying these things?”

“When I was human, I liked buying weapons—like various swords or blades… and bows, of course.”

“…Only you.”

“But later I found that picking accessories for Xiao Fengling is much more interesting than buying weapons. Because a sword doesn’t blush when I polish it, but you do.”

“I’m not blushing!”

“But you are right now~”

Hearing that, Fengling quickly pulled the blanket over her head and hid herself.

“Alright, you leave.”

“But this is my room.”

“…Then I’ll go.”

“You can barely walk straight. Just lie down.”

Ling Yue then slipped under the blanket too, pulling Fengling—blanket and all—into her arms.

“Sleep first… Tomorrow there are new dishes to try. If you don’t get up early, I’ll eat all the sweet blood pudding~”
