- Chapter 1 - Can I Mark You?
The Heaven Origin Realm, Misted Illusion Forest.
Yun Xiao moved nimbly through the central area. If she encountered any foolish, obstructionist demonic beasts, one strike from her emerald-colored dragon tail would immediately clear the path.
Gradually, her speed slowed. She simply leaned against a massive tree that required two people to hug. A flush spread across her refined, beautiful face, making her appear even more captivating. A thin layer of mist veiled her peach blossom eyes, and a hint of lust stained the corners.
She vigilantly monitored her surroundings while mobilizing her spiritual energy to suppress the discomfort in her body.
The reason? Besides demonic beasts, the Misted Illusion Forest was also frequented by cultivators here for training.
Having finally gained a second life, she certainly didn’t want to die so quickly.
Sensing two spiritual energy fluctuations, Yun Xiao turned to look. They were two Foundation Establishment human cultivators.
The two were unaware of her proximity and chatted amongst themselves as if no one else were around.
“The disciples of the Heaven’s Design Sect must be crazy. Nearly half of them left the sect just to search for one Azure Dragon. I wonder what awful, heaven-provoking thing that Azure Dragon did?”
“I heard that the Azure Dragon nearly killed Xie Yunfan, the closed-door disciple of Sword Venerable Cloud Blossom. After Xie Yunfan woke up, he offered a huge reward to find the Azure Dragon’s whereabouts.”
“If I recall correctly, Xie Yunfan already reached Nascent Soul twenty-plus years ago, and he has no rivals at his level. That Azure Dragon’s cultivation must be above the Soul Condensation stage, which is equivalent to our Soul Transformation stage.”
“To rush headlong into a path that is clearly a near-certain death, just shows how generous Xie Yunfan’s reward is.”
“Every cultivator has an enemy, but only he is causing such a huge fuss. I think there’s more to this story.”
Yun Xiao’s peach blossom eyes brightened. If she weren’t afraid of exposing her location, she would have rushed out to compliment that fellow cultivator.
That’s right, she was the Azure Dragon they spoke of. The Azure Dragon who severely injured Xie Yunfan was the original body’s mother.
She was originally an Alpha college student about to graduate on Earth. Five days ago, she was tricked by a roommate into a hotel. Upon arrival, she realized it was a setup designed specifically for her.
The room was filled with the strong scent of Omega pheromones. The door was locked, and she was forcibly pushed into her estrus (susceptible period).
Negative emotions flooded her mind. She became extremely agitated, smashing everything she saw.
She didn’t know how much time passed until a voice sounded outside the window: “Kneel and admit your mistake, sign the agreement, and I’ll give you suppressants.”
Having completely lost her reason, she lunged towards the source of the voice, smashing the anti-riot glass that blocked her with punch after punch.
After finally shattering the bothersome glass, her body plunged out. When she woke up again, she had become the Azure Dragon.
Wait a minute, Heaven’s Design Sect, Sword Venerable Cloud Blossom, Xie Yunfan, Azure Dragon… why does this sound familiar?
This seemed to be the setting from the male-focused harem cultivation novel that her best friend had often complained about. The book told the story of a male lead who transmigrated as a mortal, possessed the rare Gold Celestial Spiritual Root, took the exceptionally powerful Sword Venerable Cloud Blossom as his master, experienced continuous opportunities due to his immense luck, and finally ascended with his large harem.
The Azure Dragon with the same name in the book held a grudge because her mother died by the male lead’s sword. After improving her cultivation, she sought revenge on the male lead, failing every time for various reasons, and ultimately met the same end as her mother.
Yun Xiao swallowed her saliva. Not only had she transmigrated, but she had transmigrated as the villain.
No wonder the original body’s soul told her three days ago: This is destiny and also a tribulation. To achieve the Great Dao, you must resolve your karmic ties.
At the time, she was confused, but now she understood: even if she didn’t actively seek out the male lead, he wouldn’t let her go.
The suppressed desires surged back, interrupting Yun Xiao’s thoughts.
Muttering an obscenity, she expertly mobilized her spiritual energy and rushed towards the Ice Plain.
After the original body’s soul dissipated, she integrated its memories.
The current discomfort stemmed from the heat. According to the Azure Dragon tribe’s mother, their first heat lasts for two months. If one doesn’t want to engage in sexual activity, they must soak in an ice pool.
The Ice Plain was still half a month away. Given her current physical state, she feared she couldn’t travel that far.
Should I find a place with water nearby and soak for a while?
Leaving the Misted Illusion Forest, Yun Xiao focused her mind, carefully sensing nearby water sources.
The Misted Illusion Forest was rich in resources, attracting cultivators from all over for training. To avoid human cultivators, choosing a more distant location would be safer.
With a plan in mind, she mobilized her spiritual energy and headed straight for the fifth mountain ahead.
Why not travel in her Dragon form? Although she possessed a magic treasure to conceal her true form and cultivation, there were only a few demonic cultivators in this world who could control lightning and thunder. Her human form was different; there were far more human cultivators with the mutated Lightning Spiritual Root in the Spirit Realm than demonic ones. If danger truly arose, she wouldn’t be restrained.
Furthermore, having been a human for over twenty years, traveling in a Dragon form always felt slightly awkward.
Her body grew increasingly uncomfortable. She failed to notice her footing, and by the time she reacted, she had already fallen off a mist-shrouded cliff.
The feeling of weightlessness terrified her. She instinctively squeezed her eyes shut, frantically erected a spiritual energy shield around herself, and inwardly prayed that the valley wasn’t deep.
Dong… Water splashed high.
The comfortable sensation of being enveloped by the icy coldness made Yun Xiao let out a soft moan.
Wait, why is there the scent of pheromones here?
Feeling immediate danger, she quickly dodged, bringing her head above the water surface. She saw a woman in white robes. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes held the clarity of autumn water, her nose bridge was straight, and her lips were painted red. The aloof and cold aura surrounding her made people hesitant to approach.
A gentle breeze wafted the rich scent of jasmine to Yun Xiao’s nose. Her primitive heat desires burst forth. She involuntarily walked towards the woman: “You—”
The woman’s phoenix eyes erupted with murderous intent. Her hands formed seals, and the pool water transformed into a three-meter-long water sword that stabbed directly at Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao’s eyes widened: “Here we go again.”
She immediately sidestepped the water sword, but the sword seemed to have grown eyes, bending its path to attack her again.
She stopped dodging and cast a spell to cleave the water sword.
The woman did not give up and formed hand seals again to attack her.
While casting spells to defend herself, Yun Xiao explained, “I mean you no harm. I just want to borrow this cold pool for a while.” Seeing that the woman’s attacks did not lessen, she proactively compromised. “One day. I will leave immediately after one day.”
She had rudely intruded and disturbed the woman; it was understandable that the woman was angry. However, her body didn’t allow her to continue traveling. She could only hope the woman would grant her request.
The woman’s cheeks were flushed crimson. The speed of her seal formation slowed slightly, but her imposing manner did not decrease. “Hand over the antidote.”
Yun Xiao stared blankly at the woman, blurting out, “I’m not poisoned.”
Sniffing the jasmine scent in the air, she belatedly realized the meaning of the woman’s words and scratched her head in embarrassment: “I didn’t poison you.”
The woman didn’t believe her, forming hand seals to unleash a killing move.
Yun Xiao’s right waist was swelling and hot. The agitated factors were eroding her reason inch by inch. She shook her head—it was useless.
Setting her heart, she bit the tip of her tongue hard. Seeing that she couldn’t avoid it, she could only use lightning to break the woman’s killing move.
Rushing before the woman could complete a new seal, she summoned a bolt of lightning to strike the woman.
The woman swiftly maneuvered to avoid the lightning. The lightning bolt, at one-tenth of its full power, plunged into the pool. The electric power rapidly spread throughout the cold pool.
The power of the lightning was harmless to Yun Xiao, but it was not so friendly to the woman.
Even though the woman promptly used a flight technique, she was still a step too late. A small cluster of lightning traveled up the woman’s feet. In the blink of an eye, her three thousand strands of hair, which clung to her body, stood straight up.
Catching the woman’s angry glare, she guiltily looked away and muttered a defense: “I truly didn’t poison you. You—you are experiencing a fever.” Realizing this was an ancient setting, she quickly corrected herself, “A flood period (xùnqī), which is equivalent to a demonic beast’s heat.”
She had just checked her body with her spiritual sense and indeed saw an Alpha gland on the right side of her waist.
This explained why she could smell the Omega pheromones.
She tilted her head slightly. Did this book even have this setting?
Was the gland on her right waist the original body’s, or did she bring it over from the modern world?
The woman’s eyes were icy cold, as if she intended to cut the presumptuous demonic cultivator into a thousand pieces in the next moment. Ignoring the residual lightning on her body, she sternly demanded, “What do you know?”
The violent throbbing of her gland, combined with the Azure Dragon tribe’s lustful nature, pushed Yun Xiao to the brink of collapse.
She lowered her head, trying hard not to let her expression betray her. Her voice was hoarse: “Our goals are the same; we both want to use this cold pool to alleviate our discomfort. You let me stay here for one day, and I will immediately remove the lightning from this cold pool.”
The woman turned around to hide her increasingly flushed face. Her phoenix eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth, forcing out a single word: “If you don’t leave tomorrow, I will surely kill you.”
Yun Xiao slightly exhaled in relief. With a flick of her hand, the lightning in the cold pool instantly merged into a thick rope and drilled into her fingertips.
She bit the tip of her tongue again, about to mobilize her spiritual energy to move to the other side of the cold pool. However, when she glanced at the woman’s graceful figure and exposed, fair shoulders, she found herself unable to move.
Struggling to look away, her mind refused to obey. Before she completely lost control, she shamelessly asked, “There’s a way for neither of us to suffer this torment. Do you want to hear it?”
The moment the words left her mouth, she regretted it.
The words of her Omega mother echoed in her ears: You must not blame her. Before I was with her, I knew she was flirtatious and fickle. She didn’t lie to me. I lost the gamble. I accept my loss, but I still hope you won’t easily submit to pheromones.
She did not want to become the kind of person she detested.
The woman turned her back to Yun Xiao and returned to the pool. She bit her lower lip hard, her hand in the water already digging into her flesh. She forced out one word: “Speak.”
Yun Xiao said nothing, biting her jaw tightly and mobilizing her spiritual energy.
The woman waited for a long time but received no answer. She looked sideways and saw Yun Xiao staggering away, which greatly angered her. She immediately formed hand seals to restrict Yun Xiao: “Speak! What is the method?”
Knowing the woman wouldn’t easily let her leave without an answer, and with her mind now occupied by lust and agitation, Yun Xiao became tearful with urgency.
Am I going to die again?
No, I don’t want to die. I still want to tear open the void and return to the modern world to see my mother someday after ascension.
Clenching her fists tightly, Yun Xiao tentatively suggested, “Let me mark you.” Fearing the woman would refuse immediately, she quickly added, “I—I’ll take responsibility.” Without waiting for the woman’s response, she broke through the restraint and slowly approached the woman.
Sensing no danger, she quickened her pace slightly.
Reaching the woman’s back, only the last shred of her sanity remained. She asked tremblingly, “May I?”
