Chapter 26: I Can’t Resist

“Both This Slave and Qingcheng have never been out for fun, nor does This Slave know Qingcheng’s hobbies and interests. With the world so vast, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack. I won’t accept it.” Suddenly, Liu Churan became clever, cunningly exploiting Ye Wenxin’s sense of guilt.

In the first half of her life, Ye Wenxin was obsessed with pursuing strength. She either would be in closed door training for cultivation or went out to fight, with hardly any time to play with Liu Churan.

“So what do you want?”

“Before this gamble begins, let’s live together for a month.”

Liu Churan proposed her new idea. Ye Wenxin’s face darkened, responding with a single syllable to Liu Churan.

“Hm?”

“If one month won’t do, then three weeks.”

“Oh? Looks like one year might be too long.”

“Then half a month!” Liu Churan bargained hard, trying to negotiate for more time to spend with Ye Wenxin, hoping to find her weaknesses. Ye Wenxin naturally understood Liu Churan’s intentions. With Liu Churan’s cleverness, she would eventually discover Ye Wenxin’s behavioral patterns over time.

The balance between guilt and freedom swung back and forth, and in the end, Ye Wenxin succumbed to guilt.

“Three days. This Lord will only stay with you for three days, and then you can start hunting this Lord down.” Ye Wenxin finally compromised, giving only three days. Even if Liu Churan wanted to play tricks, she would not have enough time.

Liu Churan smiled again, her smile so charming that Ye Wenxin’s heart skipped a beat. She could not help but think Liu Churan’s charm was formidable, even as a Demon Lord she could feel a twinge.

But she was unaware that this twinge was just the beginning…

Within a day, the topic of Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng breaking through the Tribulation period once again caused a sensation in the Martial World. As for Ye Wenxin, the protagonist, she walked along the road wearing a cloak, holding a candied fruit stick in one hand, and leading Hei Tong with the other.

They looked like sisters, but upon closer inspection, one would notice that Ye Wenxin was actually leading Hei Tong.

Hei Tong was originally an ordinary crow, later gaining the opportunity to become a spirit beast, but she still retained memories from her crow days and could not resist beautiful things. Ye Wenxin was troubled by this and had to hold Hei Tong’s little hand to prevent her from causing trouble among humans.

“Where did you find such a foolish daughter?” On the other side, wearing a red robe, Liu Churan wore a mask and could not help but disdain the new daughter Ye Wenxin had found.

“This child’s IQ is only that of a ten-year-old. Naturally, This Lord can’t trust her to wander alone in the Martial World.” Ye Wenxin also did not reveal the fact that Hei Tong was actually a spirit beast, casually making up an excuse to pass it off.

Liu Churan became even more dissatisfied. She threw away the candied fruit stick from Ye Wenxin’s hand and held Ye Wenxin’s hand instead. “Couldn’t you have left her at the inn? You promised to accompany this slave for these few years.”

“Churan, one must not be too greedy. This Lord will only accompany you for a few days, not years.” It had only been a day, and Ye Wenxin already regretted agreeing to Liu Churan.

Compared to Hei Tong, Liu Churan was even more troublesome. Along the way, she attracted all kinds of attention, causing Ye Wenxin to inconspicuously kill numerous wanderers.

But Liu Churan showed no signs of restraining her charm technique. Before they could even walk a hundred steps, someone else emerged to try and seduce them.

With a single wave of her hand, Ye Wenxin caused white flowers to suddenly appear on the man’s body, which then burst into death before them. The blood stained the white flowers red, making them appear even more enchanting and eerie.

For a brief moment, Ye Wenxin felt that Liu Churan did it to push her into Qi Deviation. But judging from Liu Churan’s expression, she seemed to be enjoying Ye Wenxin’s protection instead. Ye Wenxin felt quite helpless, “Can’t you restrain yourself a bit?”

“But This Slave likes seeing you kill for this slave.” Liu Churan persisted, holding onto Ye Wenxin’s arm and unabashedly displaying her enchanting demeanor in front of her.

Thinking that the daughter she raised herself actually wanted to be seduced by her, Ye Wenxin’s mood became even more complex. She looked down at the bodies on the ground and then glanced towards the hidden immortal sect experts. Ye Wenxin sighed and advised Liu Churan, “Forget it, let’s clean up today and move on to the next town.”

Liu Churan nodded blindly, appearing as if she genuinely enjoyed the time spent with Ye Wenxin. However, Ye Wenxin had to be cautious; Liu Churan, being the child she had raised with her own hands as the Demon Lord, was definitely not pure and innocent…

As night fell, the night sky over the small town appeared exceptionally beautiful. If one were to have a sip of spirit wine, it would be even more leisurely and carefree for contemplating the vicissitudes of life.

Unfortunately, the last bottle of spirit wine was used by Ye Wenxin to save a beautiful mute. She wanted to ask Liu Churan for it, but she was worried that Liu Churan might have tampered with it.

Liu Churan had the ability, and Ye Wenxin feared she might also have the intention.

“Qingcheng, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight. How about we…” Just as she was thinking this, that enchanting voice echoed once again, causing Ye Wenxin to shiver involuntarily. Looking again, Liu Churan had changed into a red chiffon dress, vaguely revealing a bellyband. With Liu Churan’s movements, the bewitching scenery appeared and disappeared intermittently.

Churan was extremely beautiful, and no man could resist such exquisite beauty like hers.

Ye Wenxin appreciated Liu Churan’s beauty, showing only astonishment in her eyes. But if Liu Churan were to be regarded as a Dao companion or a dual cultivation partner, it would feel like top-tier mother-daughter incest.

Subconsciously, Ye Wenxin started looking for Hei Tong, seeking the sense of security she provided. However, she searched around and did not see Hei Tong anywhere.

“Where’s Hei Tong?” Ignoring Liu Churan’s blatant teasing, Ye Wenxin pulls her hand out of Liu Churan’s grip. Liu Churan’s slender figure leaned closer.

“This Slave gave that little one some spirit stones to let her play around for a few days herself.” Liu Churan whispered into Ye Wenxin’s ear, her hands wrapping around Ye Wenxin’s neck.

The two embraced each other, but upon closer inspection, one would notice that Ye Wenxin’s body was completely stiff. She tried to display the demeanor of an adult, but it seemed her body was too fragile.

Despite Ye Wenxin’s resistance, Liu Churan’s relentless seduction eventually led Ye Wenxin to forget her principles, eliciting the expected response.

“Don’t use charm.”

“This Slave hasn’t used any charm. Could it be that, Qingcheng, you actually have some improper thoughts about this slave?” Liu Churan denied using charm, but considering the fragrance emanating from her and the desire it aroused in Ye Wenxin, it was definitely deceptive.

If she had not used charm techniques, relying on Ye Wenxin’s cultivation, she could definitely be a successful schemer like Liu Xiaohui.

Ye Wenxin did not speak, she only concentrated on memorizing sutras to withstand Liu Churan’s charm attack. Liu Churan was aware of Ye Wenxin’s resistance, she had long fantasized about one day ‘eating’ Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng, but never thought it would go so smoothly.

“Qingcheng, do you still have your first time?”

Ye Wenxin was somewhat guilty; although she would not admit it, her first kiss had already been given to save a beautiful mute.

Liu Churan noticed the subtle change in Ye Wenxin. Her expression became rather ugly, she wanted to make mincemeat out of the culprit, but she could do nothing about it; she was a woman, and Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng was also a woman.

“Never mind, who made This Slave such a coward.” Liu Churan sighed. If Ye Wenxin had not suddenly been incited to run away, she would not have dared to speak such words, let alone putting them to action.

Ye Wenxin had not answered yet, nor did she have a chance to. Liu Churan put her arms around Ye Wenxin’s neck, naturally perking up her lips, “Then This Slave will take your second time.”

In that moment as their lips were about to touch, Ye Wenxin could not hold out anymore and pushed Liu Churan away.

Liu Churan fell to the ground, her red chiffon skirt somewhat rumpled, but when she giggled, Ye Wenxin failed to see how any part of this was so amusing.

“Qingcheng, you actually like women, don’t you?”

“I don’t…”

Ye Wenxin suddenly lost the confidence in her voice; she almost got seduced by Liu Churan just now.

“Hehehe…” Liu Churan laughed even harder, her eyes burning with passion, “It doesn’t matter if you like men or women, you can no longer escape from the palm of this slave’s hand.”

For a moment, Ye Wenxin thought Liu Churan had gone insane, but at the same time, there was a distinct sensation of something around her neck.

Looking closely, a collar had been placed around her neck at some point. That collar emitted an ominous aura, and if Ye Wenxin was right, this must be an Immortal Sealing Ring used by demon cultivators to seal their foe’s cultivation.

The only thing was, Ye Wenxin never thought Liu Churan would put it on her.

Just as Ye Wenxin was caught by surprise, Liu Churan pulled out the shackles she had concealed earlier and dragged Ye Wenxin to her.

An electric current stimulated her neck, and in one tug, Ye Wenxin was dragged straight into Liu Churan’s bosom.

“From that day you ran away, This Slave didn’t stop thinking of luring you back. But you didn’t expect this slave to make a move on the first day, did you?” Liu Churan was smug, holding the completely unresistant Ye Wenxin in her embrace, boasting her achievement.

Ye Wenxin was even more speechless, yet did not panic, “What do you plan to do binding this lord?”

“This Slave wants to bring Qingcheng back and love you thoroughly.”

“This Lord never taught you to do such dirty things before.” Ye Wenxin had no other expressions on her face, and it could not be discerned what emotions she hid in her heart.

Liu Churan suddenly had doubt in her heart. This Immortal Sealing Ring of hers was specially made from ten Immortal Sealing Rings, even someone of Ye Wenxin’s cultivation should not have any way of fighting it, but Ye Wenxin remained sedate as ever, so sedate Liu Churan suspected Ye Wenxin might have seen through her idea, and took the bait on purpose.

“No words? If you let this lord go now, This Lord can let bygones be bygones.” Instead, Ye Wenxin continued to inquire. Liu Churan believed Ye Wenxin was just bluffing, “What, are you implying you can still beat me up now?”

“Indeed, this Immortal Sealing Ring is quite formidable, but Churan, have you forgotten about this lord’s constitution?” Ye Wenxin’s grin brightened, and then she took the initiative to hug Liu Churan, bringing their lips together.

Liu Churan was kissed on the lips, and only then did she realize what Ye Wenxin meant.

The Iceborn constitution originally relied on dual cultivation to improve one’s cultivation base. However, now that Ye Wenxin had taken the initiative to kiss Liu Churan, it meant Ye Wenxin could utilize this constitution to undo the Immortal Sealing Ring.

Liu Churan lost. Then, since she lost, she should just enjoy it while she could.

Thinking this, Liu Churan stopped struggling and once again hugged the Ye Wenxin before her, just to savor this first and possibly last kiss.
