Forcing the Aloof Master to Madness - Chapter 54

With her eyes covered, Shen Lezhi’s senses became even more acute. Even the slight friction of their clothes as they pressed close was clearly perceptible to her.

Not to mention Wang Xi’s fingers pressing against her waist, rubbing the spot until it was soft.

Shen Lezhi wanted to push Wang Xi away, but her hands were bound behind her; she wanted to speak to stop Wang Xi, but her mouth was already occupied by Wang Xi.

Shen Lezhi and Wang Xi had undergone Dual Cultivation many times and knew each other well. She often wondered why Wang Xi enjoyed tormenting her so much, but when the image of Wang Xi’s neck covered in messy bite marks and her eyes tinged with red appeared in her mind, Shen Lezhi suddenly understood the feeling.

When such confused and ambiguous marks appeared on the other party’s aloof face, it also gave rise to wicked thoughts in her heart.

She wanted to mark the other person more, wanted Wang Xi to become even more “spoiled.”

Shen Lezhi had never experienced this before. In her one relationship in modern times, she didn’t love deeply, merely letting things happen naturally, so she instinctively resisted intimacy.

She thought she would gradually accept it one day, but instead, she was met with the other party’s betrayal.

She wasn’t particularly angry about it, just disgusted by the betrayal. From then on, she was unwilling to enter into intimate relationships again.

Until she transmigrated here and met Wang Xi.

Shen Lezhi was initially surprised that she didn’t dislike Wang Xi’s overly intimate gestures. Perhaps it was because Wang Xi was truly too beautiful.

Anyway, at first, Shen Lezhi felt no one could speak words of dislike towards Wang Xi.

That person with aloof eyes, like a banished immortal, even the bright moon paled in comparison to her.

She was so powerful, high above. Others instinctively lowered their eyes when looking at her. If such a Moonlit Immortal Venerable were to lower her head and bestow a little affection, who could resist being charmed?

Shen Lezhi was also charmed, but the former yearning and admiration were different from the current love.

When she witnessed the immortal’s vulnerability, when she saw Wang Xi truly show pain as a human, the uncontrollable sharp ache in her heart was her true love for Wang Xi.

She had given her heart, which was why she was later tormented when Wang Xi treated her like someone else.

And because she had given her heart, she was now drawn by the faint sigh escaping Wang Xi’s lips and teeth, finding it difficult to control her passion.

They had practiced Dual Cultivation countless times, each time pushing Shen Lezhi to the limit, but they had never truly touched each other.

Shen Lezhi was being kissed by Wang Xi. The latter pried open her shell-like teeth and delved deep into her mouth. She was seared by the invading softness.

At least, Wang Xi’s tongue was warm.

She thought vaguely, having assumed every part of this person was icy cold. Shen Lezhi had even imagined that perhaps Wang Xi’s internal organs were cold.

That soft tongue drilled in, immediately intertwining with hers. The cold, sweet fragrance was wrapped in an ambiguous scent, and Shen Lezhi’s breathing became uncontrollable.

She was kissed until she couldn’t breathe. It wasn’t because she couldn’t exchange air at all, but because the other party was too fierce. The action of invading her, the spiritual power entangling her spiritual platform—it was all too overbearing.

Shen Lezhi knew Wang Xi was accustomed to being high and mighty and could not easily tolerate contradiction. Her yielding to Shen Lezhi was probably a rare instance of submission in her life.

But the last time she was this frantic was when they were at loggerheads after their confrontation at Youfang Academy, when Wang Xi harbored a savage rage as if she wanted to crush Shen Lezhi.

Yet, it was different from that time.

Back then, Wang Xi felt hatred, a hatred so stark.

Now, Wang Xi felt passion. Shen Lezhi couldn’t bear it and opened her eyes, shaking her head to rub off the strip of cloth on her face. She met Wang Xi’s eyes and saw that they were filled entirely with desire.

Shen Lezhi took a deep breath, her throat wanting to let out a moan, but it was completely blocked by Wang Xi.

The other party bit her tongue, sometimes kneading, sometimes applying force, making her numb and painful.

In her spiritual platform, probably because her meridians were now nearly recovered, or perhaps because Wang Xi was currently covered in demonic patterns, the invasion was no longer as cautious as before.

It harshly ground through every part of Shen Lezhi’s meridians, not allowing her spiritual consciousness a moment of relaxation.

Such stimulation, combined with the powerless sounds trapped in her throat, made it difficult for Shen Lezhi to bear.

She shook her head, wanting Wang Xi to go slower, gentler, but seeing the red patterns crazily spreading at Wang Xi’s eye corners, she couldn’t help but feel a hint of expectation.

Was Wang Xi truly going to crush her?

Would she truly make her lose control to the point of a blurred consciousness?

Just thinking about it, her body grew hotter and hotter. Infected by the other party, she seemed to be going mad too.

Her bound knuckles tensed. She stared at Wang Xi’s crimson eye corner. The other party’s snow-like skin, without even touching it, was cold enough to make Shen Lezhi’s heart tremble.

She also wanted to stain Wang Xi with feverish heat. She longed to see the person before her melt open too.

So, Shen Lezhi refused to be passive. When Wang Xi sucked her soft tongue, she closed her lips and bit back.

She was like trying to compete with Wang Xi. For every inch the other party gained, she returned an inch of respect.

All that remained in her ears was the sound of their lips and tongues interlocking, so intense that she felt shy enough to cover her ears upon hearing it herself.

Yet, even so, Shen Lezhi refused to back down and admit defeat. Even when Wang Xi’s fingers pressed against her chest, and the intimacy was so obvious, she was too soft to stand steady by herself, but she still refused to stop and concede.

However, she couldn’t stop in the first place. Even if she passively endured, Wang Xi, who was exhibiting her demonic nature now, would not easily let her go.

Shen Lezhi was pushed down onto the ground. She saw everything around them, the spiritual field and the small wooden house in the distance. Shen Lezhi didn’t even get a chance to catch her breath, being pressed down and kissed by Wang Xi with abandon and frenzy.

She couldn’t hear any sounds around her besides Wang Xi’s. She felt an icy spiritual power regularly spreading around them, completely encircling them. Shen Lezhi guessed it was the array Wang Xi had set up.

Why set up such an isolation array? Shen Lezhi almost didn’t need to think closely to understand the intention.

She was ashamed of it, yet she yearned for it.

“Shizun…” When Wang Xi paused slightly to exchange air, Shen Lezhi finally managed to utter a sound.

She called out softly, unable to stop herself. The hoarseness and tenderness in her tone were evidence that she had been utterly flustered by Wang Xi.

Wang Xi heard this kitten-like whisper and suddenly paused. Her pair of scarlet eyes fixed on Shen Lezhi, and then she let out a soft laugh.

Her laugh was not gentle, carrying cruelty and excitement.

When Shen Lezhi saw that smile, she felt shocked, and a sense of dread rose in her heart.

She usually wasn’t afraid of anything, not even death, but at this moment, she felt fear because of Wang Xi’s smile.

“You like this, don’t you?” Wang Xi’s smiling eyes held a cruelty more glaring than thorn flowers. Shen Lezhi’s body reacted to this cruelty with an honest, extreme excitement.

Her eyes were tightly drawn by Wang Xi’s gaze. She couldn’t evade it and was forced to have her true thoughts read by Wang Xi.

She liked it very much.

Being completely possessed by Wang Xi like this, she really liked it.

Unlike the times she was forced, this was her own choice to endure, her own voluntary desire for this aggression.

So, she liked it even more.

Every part of her body was screaming, and every cell was opening up for Wang Xi.

She looked at Wang Xi, panting uncontrollably, her face flushed, and the desire in her eyes was never less than Wang Xi’s frenzy.

Shen Lezhi had long understood that she, too, was a lunatic. Chasing after this person so desperately, willing to gouge out her heart and give her life without hesitation—how could anyone do that without being crazy?

So, when Wang Xi extended two fingers and deeply invaded her mouth, Shen Lezhi had no thought other than acceptance.

“Answer me.” The other party pressed on relentlessly. Even though Shen Lezhi was completely accepting her, she still demanded Shen Lezhi say it out loud.

“Li-ke it,” Like it very much.

Shen Lezhi had always been an honest person. She was unafraid of how depraved she looked at the moment, only wanting to express all her inner desires genuinely, forgetting everything else.

What if it got worse?

Her whole body and mind were overflowing with pleasure right now.

She bit the icy cold fingers. The heat in her mouth and the other party’s coolness pulled at her.

She continuously, passionately licked and swallowed, trying to stain the other party with the same feverish temperature as hers.

Wang Xi was indeed tainted by her. Seeing her seductive movements, seeing how she was forced to strain forward, stretching her neck because her hands were inconveniently tied behind her, the red in her eyes deepened even further.

The warmth in Shen Lezhi’s mouth enveloped her fingertips, and that heat climbed all the way to her heart.

She saw Shen Lezhi swallowing uncontrollably, the obvious movement in her throat, and her emotions instantly became even more restless.

Her demonic nature urged her to invade. No longer suppressing it, she narrowed her eyes, lowered her head, and bit Shen Lezhi’s neck.

She left a mark there. Shen Lezhi probably felt pain, as her whole body trembled violently because of it.

But Shen Lezhi did not stop her. Aside from breathing and enduring, she made no move to resist.

She was so compliant that it made one want to bully her even more fiercely.

Wang Xi indeed did so.

She guided Shen Lezhi to turn her body’s direction, making the latter kneel and crawl on the ground. But because Shen Lezhi’s hands were tied behind her, her front had no support, only the two fingers Wang Xi pressed into her mouth.

Shen Lezhi had to spread her legs to gain more balance, and she had to try harder to straighten her upper body to avoid falling forward.

When Wang Xi drew close, pressing tightly against her back, Shen Lezhi couldn’t control herself and let out a soft, whimpering sob.

Wang Xi heard this sound but still felt it wasn’t enough. Supporting Shen Lezhi’s upper body, she left striking marks one after another on the back of her neck.

When she practiced Dual Cultivation with Shen Lezhi before, she was always cautious, afraid of touching her too much. Now, no longer having that concern, the invasion of her fingers became increasingly unrestrained.

Shen Lezhi trembled non-stop from the torment. Although it was only a kiss, her mind felt like it was going crazy with excitement.

When Wang Xi pushed her away, the sensation was like true ice stimulating her skin. She had completely lost the ability to think, only to be occupied by this ice and snow.

She felt so hot, yet her body was so cold. Her consciousness repeatedly pulled between clarity and delirium.

Wang Xi led her as if they had entered a world of ice and snow, yet forced her to ignite a burning flame in the storm.

But the fuel for this fire was Shen Lezhi herself—her fragmented cries and her uncontrollable passion.

She didn’t even understand for a moment why she had to endure such an agonizing torture of ice and fire. She shook her head desperately, crying uncontrollably, seemingly in refusal, yet it was also a frantic, lost-control action.

She couldn’t figure anything out. Only Wang Xi’s lowered eyes before her plundered all her senses.

She could only follow into the abyss, no matter how far she was opened up, no matter what posture she was forced into.

An endless pleasure rose in Shen Lezhi’s mind.

She didn’t even know what eventually happened to her. Only happiness remained in her consciousness.

The pleasure was so extreme that her throat was too hoarse to make a sound, and her limbs were too weak to lift.

But this feeling actually only lasted for a moment. The recovery speed of the Linglong Heart, under the effect of their Dual Cultivation, almost exceeded Shen Lezhi’s imagination.

One moment she was exhausted, the next, her body’s spiritual power was so abundant it felt like it was about to overflow.

After several repetitions, Shen Lezhi finally realized that it was because Wang Xi was constantly guiding the Linglong Heart to circulate faster, restoring her body.

But recovery only led to continuous torment.

In the end, Shen Lezhi’s throat genuinely couldn’t produce any sound at all. Even her crying became fragmented. Only then did Wang Xi’s unrestrained behavior finally stop.

There was no sun and no change of day and night in this forbidden area. Shen Lezhi had no idea how long she had been subjected to this kneading and torment here.

She felt like she had truly been kneaded into pieces by Wang Xi, but due to the Linglong Heart’s terrifying ability to recover, her body did not feel fatigued.

However, her mind was too exhausted to think for a moment.

Shen Lezhi even suspected that she had passed out several times, only to be woken up, and that even when unconscious, she was in a state of extreme excitement, making her vaguely unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

She was held in Wang Xi’s arms. Initially, she still resisted unwillingly, but now, she had no thought of resisting at all.

She had to marvel at the physical quality of a cultivator. If her body were in modern times, she would probably have lost half her life from this level of intensity.

Now, she could lean against Wang Xi’s neck, inhaling the ambiguous scent that had long stained the other party, her heart racing incessantly.

Watching Wang Xi undo the isolation array, Shen Lezhi sat quietly on Wang Xi, gazing at the lush and vibrant spiritual field in the distance, suddenly feeling that everything had become incredibly beautiful.

She even had the thought that it would be wonderful if they could spend the rest of their lives here.

However, Shen Lezhi knew it was impossible. After learning the truth about the Linglong Heart, Shen Lezhi understood that Wang Xi would definitely leave this place, go for revenge, and be stained with deeper carnage.

She lifted her fingers, feeling that the spiritual power in her body had recovered a little more, and then reached out to embrace Wang Xi.

She used force, hugging Wang Xi tightly. Even though Shen Lezhi was so weak, she held Wang Xi close in the posture of a protector.

As if sensing Shen Lezhi’s emotions, the demonic patterns that had slightly faded on Wang Xi now mostly disappeared, leaving only a few strange red lines at the corners of her eyes, which were hard to notice without a close look.

It wasn’t that they had disappeared, but when Wang Xi was calm, the demonic patterns didn’t show much.

Shen Lezhi made her feel calm, like an anchor point in Wang Xi’s heart. Wang Xi always remembered that she had hurt the other party when her demonic nature was revealed. Shen Lezhi’s confrontation with her then, and the blood she spat out, almost scalded Wang Xi’s heart.

Afterward, it left her with endless regret.

So, since then, no matter how out of control Wang Xi was, she always tried her best to restrain herself in front of Shen Lezhi. Even when she deliberately revealed her demonic nature this time, she still maintained the last shred of her rationality.

She was truly terrified of hurting Shen Lezhi again.

Wang Xi had never thought she would have such a timid moment. She found it utterly ridiculous, yet she was completely willing.

She closed her eyes, hugged Shen Lezhi back, and a warm current flowed through her heart.

…

“Master!” It wasn’t until Crying Soul Thread propped up its flower bud and returned that Shen Lezhi finally separated from Wang Xi.

She stood up, smiling, and embraced Crying Soul Thread’s climbing body, letting the vines wrap around her fingers.

“Master, you haven’t been heard from for three days. Auntie Hua said you were catching up with the Great Demon and told me not to disturb you.” However, Crying Soul Thread’s innocent remark made Shen Lezhi gasp in surprise.

Three days?

She had been immersed in that desire and hadn’t noticed the passage of time at all, or perhaps the sense of time flow in this forbidden area was inherently weak, which Shen Lezhi had noticed when she first entered.

But she really hadn’t expected it to be a full three days?!

She subconsciously looked towards Wang Xi. Wang Xi had used a cleansing spell earlier. Now, both of them were clean and refreshed, showing no trace of their previous frenzy.

Wang Xi’s indifferent gaze made Shen Lezhi nearly choke.

This person looked so pure and aloof, yet she had tormented her for three days!

She wondered why her mind was so exhausted. She had thought it was because she was too excited, making every second feel slow.

Shen Lezhi’s breathing became heavier. She turned around abruptly, hugging Crying Soul Thread, and no longer looked at that person.

She needed to exercise restraint!

She would never let Wang Xi have her way again!

Oh, and also.

Next time, she absolutely wouldn’t be the only one undergoing that!

Thinking these chaotic thoughts, she completely ignored Wang Xi and ran towards Auntie Hua, who was in the spiritual field.

Crying Soul Thread was puzzled, wondering why its Master was suddenly so agitated.

But it didn’t ask, consciously climbing up Shen Lezhi’s hair and staying in its usual spot.

Unlike Crying Soul Thread, Auntie Hua didn’t look towards Shen Lezhi at all, nor did she inquire why Shen Lezhi hadn’t been heard from for three days.

However, the more Auntie Hua acted this way, the more embarrassed Shen Lezhi felt.

Even if Auntie Hua wasn’t experienced, she probably knew everything…

Shen Lezhi’s rush towards Auntie Hua was a momentary impulse, wanting to distance herself from Wang Xi out of shame, but when she actually reached Auntie Hua, she felt awkward again.

She wasn’t familiar with Auntie Hua, and she wasn’t the original heroine, so she had no familial bond with Auntie Hua. Fortunately, the other party was tending to the spiritual field, which allowed Shen Lezhi to find a topic to ease the current awkwardness.

“Little Cloud, you have to reduce your spirit water starting today.”

Shen Lezhi’s gaze paused. She clearly heard Auntie Hua speaking to a spiritual plant.

Crying Soul Thread had indeed said that Auntie Hua could also communicate with spiritual plants.

“Cloud Blue Leaf?” Shen Lezhi recognized the spiritual plant Auntie Hua was addressing. It had appeared in the Spiritual Plant Cultivation Manual.

Hearing her voice, Auntie Hua looked up and turned around.

Auntie Hua had actually long noticed Shen Lezhi’s arrival, as the other party hadn’t concealed her aura.

However, Auntie Hua didn’t know how to communicate with Shen Lezhi. Although the other party didn’t reject her, she didn’t seem very keen on getting closer after she revealed her identity.

But since Shen Lezhi initiated the conversation now, Auntie Hua naturally couldn’t let go of this opportunity.

“Yes, this is the Cloud Blue Leaf. It’s drunk too much rootless water recently, so I need to cut back its supply,” Auntie Hua answered with a smile.

She had heard from Crying Soul Thread that Shen Lezhi was very interested in cultivating spiritual plants and even had her own spiritual field. Auntie Hua was very happy about this.

The Divine Wood Clan naturally had an inherent advantage in communicating with spiritual plants, but not everyone liked them.

At least Auntie Hua’s sister, Shen Lezhi’s birth mother, didn’t like them. She detested these flowers and plants, finding them annoying because they chattered all day long, and she always disliked her ability to hear their voices.

Auntie Hua had thought Shen Lezhi would take after her mother. She was pleasantly surprised that Shen Lezhi also liked spiritual plants and had even unexpectedly saved the withered and dormant Crying Soul Thread.

It was like a predetermined fate.

“Rootless water?” Shen Lezhi wasn’t awkward when discussing spiritual plants. A thirst for knowledge lit up in her eyes.

Auntie Hua was naturally delighted by her expression and immediately explained, “In the mortal world, it refers to the purest water that hasn’t fallen to the ground and hasn’t been contaminated by dust.”

“And the rootless water mentioned by cultivators refers to the spiritual water guided down from the sky.” Saying this, Auntie Hua formed a hand seal, and a cluster of small water droplets gathered on her fingertips.

Shen Lezhi blinked, momentarily not understanding the difference between the two descriptions.

She then subconsciously pondered for a moment and suddenly realized.

The second kind Auntie Hua mentioned should be the water spirits floating in the air, which were converted into the so-called spiritual water using a special hand seal.

There probably wasn’t a study specializing in analyzing the composition of substances in the air in this world. It was reasonable for them to understand it as coming from the sky.

Shen Lezhi nodded, indicating understanding.

“But there’s no sun here. How do these spiritual plants grow?” This was the question that had puzzled Shen Lezhi from the first moment she saw this spiritual field.

Auntie Hua smiled upon hearing this, met Shen Lezhi’s gaze, and slowly said, “Our spiritual power is the sun for the spiritual plants. The Divine Wood Clan is the materialization of the power of life. Although we no longer possess the powerful abilities of our ancestors, whose flesh and blood could bring the dead back to life, we still have the ability to revive spiritual plants.”

“Lezhi, you should have experienced it already. Moreover, your body contains your mother’s vital essence and the spirit of the Divine Wood Clan.” Auntie Hua had already heard everything Crying Soul Thread had told her. She knew everything that happened after it met Shen Lezhi.

As she spoke this, her eyes were slightly hot. Her gaze was fervent as she looked at Shen Lezhi, unable to contain her emotions.

But the more excited she spoke, the more helpless Shen Lezhi felt.

These things belonged to the original heroine. This body also belonged to the original heroine. Auntie Hua said they had poured everything, even their lives, into the original heroine, which made Shen Lezhi feel increasingly burdened, as if she had stolen their child’s life.

Shen Lezhi took a deep breath. She didn’t dare to tell the truth to the sincere Auntie Hua before her, so she could only lower her head and stop responding to the other party.

She decided it was better to talk less.

But Auntie Hua suddenly refused to let her go. She took a step forward and grabbed Shen Lezhi’s wrist. Her expression was highly agitated, but she forced herself to calm down when she saw Shen Lezhi’s dodging gaze.

“I know you think you are not the owner of this body,” Auntie Hua said this, struggling to control herself, her voice deliberately smooth and soft.

She had already learned this from Crying Soul Thread.

It was Crying Soul Thread who casually mentioned it while angrily recounting how Wang Xi had bullied Shen Lezhi. Auntie Hua, however, acutely sensed something. Under continuous questioning, she obtained the truth from Crying Soul Thread.

Shen Lezhi’s breathing abruptly stopped. She was so rigidly fixated by Auntie Hua’s gaze that her whole body tensed up.

But Auntie Hua’s next words made Shen Lezhi even more unbelievable.

The other party said, that was merely what she thought.

The truth was not so.
