Yuebai felt like she was about to die of thirst.
After Yino had injected her with various dark marks and potions, he hadn’t touched any part of her body except her abdomen. Yet…
Like a frog in slowly heating water, her resistance weakened with each passing moment. Every time she was about to reach her peak, Yino would stop with perfect timing.
Sometimes she lost such complete control that she couldn’t even predict her own climax, yet Yino knew her body better than she did. He would build her up only to suddenly slow down and stop, leaving her disappointed every time hope bloomed.
Her mind was utterly exhausted.
Yet her mental fatigue didn’t stop her body from craving more. Yino’s fingers played her like a piano, each touch strumming her most sensitive nerves, leaving her trapped between pleasure and torment. Countless times he pulled her back from the edge of unconsciousness.
At her most desperate, she clenched her teeth and thrashed wildly like a woman possessed.
Even after he stopped, she refused to give up, desperately trying to get one more touch.
In her state of extreme need, her body erupted with unprecedented strength.
She nearly broke free from the blood-colored vines. If she could just arch her back and grind her hips a little more, she could finally release this maddening tension.
But at that crucial moment, Liuli tightened the restraints.
The blood vines constricted around her waist, trying to force her back down. But Yuebai was beyond reason by then. She couldn’t even feel pain anymore – even as the vines cut into her skin and her bones creaked, she fought desperately for one last touch against Yino’s hand. Read latest stories on empire
Really, she just needed one final touch…
“Yuebai, relax,” Yino said coldly, seeing her losing control.
She was too far gone to hear him, but as his words fell, the purple formation on her lower abdomen suddenly glowed green.
Within three seconds, all strength left her body.
Her wild eyes grew dull and unfocused as her body went limp, her senses seemingly blocked in an instant.
She felt dazed, as if waking from a fever dream.
Though she clearly remembered thrashing madly just moments ago.
When Yino’s words cut through the torturous haze, she felt strangely empty and lost. While she didn’t want to return to that desperate state, something felt incomplete, her instincts screaming that she was just one step away…
She had no idea what had just happened. It was like a switch had been flipped in her brain, leaving her mind blank and confused.
“Let’s give you a short rest.”
Yino’s sudden words made her delicate body tremble as memories of what just happened flooded back.
But before she could struggle, he commanded:
“Yuebai, rest now.”
“Empty your mind and restore your energy with a nap.”
He stared into her eyes as he spoke those brief words, until the white fox girl’s head finally drooped.
His voice acted like a sedative, not only calming her desperate need but putting her to sleep within seconds.
This wasn’t just from his command – her mind had already reached its limit.
Yino worried she might truly go insane, which would be troublesome, so he made her rest.
However, when he said “rest,” he only meant her mind.
He never said anything about her body getting a break.
As a nine-tailed fox, her body was exceptionally strong. Yino estimated she was far from her physical limits, judging by how well she maintained hydration and metabolism. Her body could handle much more.
This was likely why she stayed defiant – she was confident Yino couldn’t break her body, believing she could turn things around once she escaped the Azure Forest if she kept her mind strong.
However… since she thought that way, Yino naturally had to increase the intensity.
While she slept, he didn’t stop the dark formation working through her body. He merely adjusted them to a lower intensity to avoid disturbing her rest.
He even thoughtfully blocked her sensations.
This way, she could both sleep and be punished simultaneously.
“The Nine-Colored Deer’s natural energy works perfectly now.”
Watching the white foxgirl sleep peacefully, Yino smiled with satisfaction.
He awakened the golden sacred mark on his hand and pressed it to her forehead, gently infusing pure natural energy into her.
The Nine-Colored Deer’s spiritual energy worked on everyone, regardless of gender, age, or alignment.
It was perfect for nourishing one’s mental state.
Originally, Yuebai might have needed two hours of rest, but with Wangxue’s natural energy, her mind would likely return to clarity in just half an hour.
The only thing giving Yino a headache was…
As he stood before her, hand pressed to her forehead channeling natural energy, her sleeping body would periodically release fluids due to the formation’s effects.
Yino had no choice.
He could only maintain his awkward stance, trying his best to keep his clothes clean.
Less than half an hour had passed when the white foxgirl slowly opened her platinum-colored seductive eyes, not waiting for Yino to wake her.
She gazed at Yino drowsily, even managing a leisurely yawn. But just as Yuebai was at her most relaxed, she suddenly noticed the black-haired youth dodging a streaming flow of liquid—
“Oh, you’re awake already?” Yino stepped aside, waiting for the flow to stop before looking back at the freshly awakened foxgirl.
She stared at the clear liquid, then looked up at Yino in confusion. As memories of before her sleep flooded back, her natural smile drained into a pale expression. She instinctively wanted to scream.
But… Gradually, she realized she wasn’t in agony anymore.
Why?
She blinked, looking down again to check. Though her senses felt relaxed, her body remained tense, unable to truly unwind.
“Seems you slept well—recovering your energy in less than half an hour. As expected of a nine-tailed fox’s extraordinary constitution,” Yino observed thoughtfully.
Fear and anxiety filled her heart as she stared at his face, but remembering her deep sense of mission, she bared her fangs coldly, her enchanting eyes flashing with both shame and murderous intent:
“Yino! What exactly did you do to my body—?!”
Fresh from her sleep and in good spirits, she started to curse him.
But halfway through her shout, her consciousness seemed to snap, her angry, seductive eyes going blank.
Yino raised an eyebrow, knowing what was coming, and quickly stepped back to avoid getting splashed.
“Seems she needs more water. Liuli, give her another drink,” Yino commanded while observing quietly.
The blood-colored vines reappeared instantly. Liuli gripped the girl’s mouth with one hand while using the other to direct the vine to pour water down her throat.
After several liters of water went down, the fox girl’s belly gradually swelled.
When Liuli withdrew the vines, Yuebai gasped for air as if waking from a dream.
Confused, she blinked, trying hard to remember what just happened. Besides the heavy sloshing of water in her belly, her body seemed unchanged.
“Let me explain your situation, Yuebai.”
“I’ve blocked your sensations and let you rest for half an hour. You should feel mentally refreshed and able to maintain your rationality for quite a while.”
“If you’re willing to submit, I can let you down.”
“Otherwise, the sensory block will wear off in about two minutes.”
Yino spoke coldly, his voice devoid of emotion, as if addressing a mere test subject.
As Yuebai gradually recovered her pre-sleep awareness, her brief rest had left her mind sharper than ever. Her brain worked rapidly, quickly understanding Yino’s threat.
“Ex-except for the Soul Origin Pill, I’ll agree to anything else…” she stammered anxiously.
Yino raised an eyebrow, pondered briefly, then said flatly:
“Then tell me, who exactly is this Celestial Master?”
“I… I cannot say…”
“Alright, then who sent you to the Azure Forest to kill me? Was it the Celestial Master?”
“I… I cannot say either…”
“Fine, one last question – what’s the name of the organization you and Jinyue belong to?”
“–?!”
