I Really Had to Take Control of You

[Peerless Elegance (green): Increases poise and charm, making you more attractive to the opposite sex.]

[Solidification Condition: Win over ten beauties. (6/10)]

Before Lin Shiyu emerged from seclusion after refining pills, Zhou Er dealt with the potential threat to their relationship.

"From now on, you know what to say in front of Shiyu."

Zhou Er glared at Li Xiao, whose face was red, and spoke.

"Mm! Master!"

Li Xiao wiped the sweat from her face and replied.

"Don't call me Master. Keep calling me Uncle Lei."

Zhou Er's voice turned stern.

"Yes, Master—no, Uncle Lei."

Li Xiao answered.

After giving Li Xiao a talking-to, Zhou Er returned to his room to cultivate and study talismans.

However, there was no way this matter with the Taiyi Talisman Alliance would end so easily.

They had failed to capture Lin Shiyu, so they would definitely make another move.

Zhou Er had inscribed the Nightmare Heart-Control Talisman on Xu Yuanyuan not only to punish her, but also to learn about anything connected to the Taiyi Talisman Alliance.

Unfortunately, all Xu Yuanyuan ever said was:

"Master, please spare me!"

She knew little else.

Once Zhou Er really did spare her, she would cling to him again, gazing at him lovestruck.

Zhou Er had long since had enough of that woman. Seeing her once a month was already more than enough.

A useless garment deserved to be tossed out.

Fortunately, even though the Taiyi Talisman Alliance was making a ruckus outside, both he and Lin Shiyu were within the Sunset Sect. As long as they did not leave its territory, they were relatively safe.

Qingzhu Workshop, the Bai Family.

Bai Fengting had finally broken through to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

She was no longer dressed provocatively, and her outfit was plain. Even so, her loose clothes could not conceal the fullness that seemed ready to spill from her chest.

It was no wonder the Bai Family had her host every auction.

At twenty-seven, she had already reached the Qi Refining Ninth Layer. In a Foundation Establishment clan, she was undoubtedly considered a genius.

Even so, the family elders still used her marital prospects to pressure her, hoping to marry her off in exchange for benefits for the family.

All she could do was keep doing things for the family, in exchange for a little freedom.

"I've finally reached the Qi Refining Ninth Layer. If only I could get a Foundation Establishment Pill."

Bai Fengting thought.

But she understood that, as a woman, she would never receive a Foundation Establishment Pill from the family elders.

If she wanted one, she would have to rely on herself.

She sighed deeply, then suddenly remembered that Alchemist Lin had refined several batches of Foundation Establishment Pills and sold only one Good-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. There were probably some left.

If she went and asked, she might have a chance.

After tidying up her appearance, Bai Fengting flew her sword to the Sunset Sect.

She had an acquaintance there, so she got in without trouble.

Once inside the Sunset Sect, Bai Fengting first went to Lin Shiyu's Cave Mansion. She learned that Lin Shiyu was in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and it would be best not to disturb her.

Afterward, she heard that both batches of Foundation Establishment Pills Lin Shiyu had refined were for Talisman Master Xu Lifeng.

Although Xu Lifeng looked sleazy, she had come all this way and could not leave empty-handed, so she decided to try her luck at his place.

When she arrived at Xu Lifeng's Cave Mansion, a disheveled young woman came to open the door.

"Who are you...? Mm~"

Xu Yuanyuan asked Bai Fengting in confusion, her legs trembling nervously.

"Are you all right?"

Seeing Xu Yuanyuan behaving strangely, Bai Fengting asked.

"I'm... oh... I'm fine."

Xu Yuanyuan answered, her face flushed as she forced the words out.

Bai Fengting was still at a loss.

After a while, Xu Yuanyuan felt the control over her body lift. She then asked properly,

"Who are you? What do you want at my brother's Cave Mansion?"

"I'm Bai Fengting from Qingzhu Workshop. I'd like to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill from Talisman Master Xu. Standard Quality will do."

Bai Fengting replied.

Xu Yuanyuan was about to turn Bai Fengting away when she heard a voice from inside the room:

"Let her in."

Hearing Bai Fengting's name, Zhou Er remembered the curvaceous female cultivator he had seen at the auction that day.

When Bai Fengting entered, Zhou Er indeed saw the woman with the extraordinary bearing.

Her figure was perfectly proportioned, full at the front and rounded at the back. Her waist was slender and supple, outlining a breathtakingly graceful silhouette. She moved with captivating elegance, alluring without being vulgar.

Zhou Er said nothing more. He simply beckoned to Xu Yuanyuan.

Xu Yuanyuan immediately curled up in Zhou Er's arms and said,

"Master."

As if rewarding her, Zhou Er stroked her once. She immediately let out a satisfied little moan.

Bai Fengting was stunned. The person before her was not Talisman Master Xu Lifeng.

And the man seemed vaguely familiar.

He looked like the man who had been walking beside Alchemist Lin Shiyu at the auction.

But why was he here?

"Fellow Daoist Bai, please sit."

Zhou Er pointed to the cushion in front of him.

Then he smacked Xu Yuanyuan on her little bottom and said,

"Why aren't you pouring Fellow Daoist Bai a cup of Spirit Tea?"

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yuanyuan's eyes were hazy as she immediately obeyed Zhou Er and poured the tea.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, you want a Foundation Establishment Pill? Xu Lifeng probably can't give you one, but I happen to have one."

Zhou Er took a delicate little box from his Storage Ring. When he opened it, a small pill with three pill marks lay inside.

Xu Lifeng was dead, so everything he had naturally belonged to Zhou Er.

Seeing the Foundation Establishment Pill, Bai Fengting's heart stirred. This was what cultivators of their humble station dreamed of.

"Senior, what do you want me to do?"

Bai Fengting asked nervously.

If it wasn't anything too outrageous, she might really be able to do it.

Besides, the senior before her was young, wealthy, handsome, and charming.

Zhou Er flicked open his thin robe, revealing the faint outline of his abs and hinting that there was still room in his embrace.

Seeing the gesture, Bai Fengting more or less understood. After all, she was already in her twenties and knew about such sordid matters.

If it had been that sleazy Xu Lifeng, she would have been utterly repulsed. But facing this peerlessly elegant, handsome young man, she hesitated.

Then, as if possessed, she sat down beside Zhou Er and said in a seductive voice,

"What would Senior like this servant to do before you'll give me that Foundation Establishment Pill?"

As she spoke, Bai Fengting kept pressing the fullness of her chest against Zhou Er.

Just then, Xu Yuanyuan came over carrying the teapot. Seeing Bai Fengting lying in the spot that should have been hers, she was so startled that the tray fell to the floor, spilling tea everywhere.

Seeing this, Zhou Er snapped,

"Lick it clean!"

"Master!"

Xu Yuanyuan looked aggrieved.

"I won't say it twice."

Zhou Er said coldly, placing a hand on Bai Fengting's waist.

Tears of grievance streaming down her face, Xu Yuanyuan knelt on the floor and stuck out her tender little tongue, licking up the spilled tea.

"Senior, please don't punish Sister Xu."

Bai Fengting said in a coquettish voice.

Zhou Er only gave a wicked smile, looked at Xu Yuanyuan, and asked,

"Yuanyuan, do you think I'm punishing you?"

"No, Master is rewarding me."

Xu Yuanyuan answered as she licked.

Zhou Er said nothing. He merely gave Bai Fengting a meaningful look.

Then he continued watching Xu Yuanyuan clean the wet floor.

"Master, I've finished."

After licking the floor clean, Xu Yuanyuan went over to Zhou Er and spoke as if seeking praise.

"Good girl! Go outside for now. Fellow Daoist Bai and I have important business to discuss."

Zhou Er patted Xu Yuanyuan's head and pointed toward the door.

"Master, I won't disturb you. Just let me stay and watch!"

Xu Yuanyuan pleaded pitifully.

"Aren't you just getting in the way? How am I supposed to discuss business with Fellow Daoist Bai properly while you're here? Get out. Don't come back until I tell you to!"

Zhou Er's voice turned stern.

Zhou Er had been tormented by Zhu Yan for a while before, so he naturally knew how to train a little pet.

After sending Xu Yuanyuan away, Zhou Er took a gourd of Spirit Wine from his Storage Ring and said,

"Fellow Daoist Bai, let's drink first. We can discuss everything else afterward."

"I'll do as Senior says."

Bai Fengting nodded.

The closer she got to Zhou Er, the more unable she was to pull herself away. She had gradually lost her ability to resist.

Then the two of them started playing a drinking game. Whoever lost had to drink a cup.

Zhou Er lost the first round and poured the wine over Bai Fengting's collarbone.

"Wine tastes richer when served with a beauty."

After draining it in one breath, Zhou Er sighed.

"Senior Lei, you're so naughty!"

Bai Fengting pecked Zhou Er's cheek and acted coy.

"Do you love me?"

Zhou Er asked with a smile.

Bai Fengting did not answer, only lowering her eyes with a bashful expression.

Then Zhou Er picked up the Foundation Establishment Pill and placed it between Bai Fengting's breasts, pressing her,

"Do you love me?"

"I do!"

Bai Fengting answered at once.

Satisfied, Zhou Er laughed heartily and continued drinking.

After that, Zhou Er won far more often than he lost, and Bai Fengting drank cup after cup of Spirit Wine. Her cheeks grew rosier by the moment.

Before long, her face was flushed.

After all, this was Second-Rank Spirit Wine. Bai Fengting was only a Qi Refining Cultivator, and no matter how well she held her liquor, she could hardly withstand its strength.

"Senior, I really can't drink any more."

A glistening drop of wine slid slowly along the elegant line of her jaw, traced her slender neck, and paused in the hollow of her collarbone, catching tiny glimmers of light before slipping along the curve of her skin and disappearing beneath her clothes.

"Drink!"

Zhou Er said, leaving no room for argument.

As he spoke, his hand began searching between Bai Fengting's clothes, trying to find the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Bai Fengting immediately understood that if she didn't drink, she would have no chance of getting the pill. She hastily said,

"Senior, I'll drink. I'll drink, all right?"

Seeing this, Zhou Er nodded with satisfaction and poured Bai Fengting a small cup of wine that shimmered with a gentle glow.

Bai Fengting hesitated, but finally picked up the cup and tipped back the wine. Her throat moved gently, and a tipsy gleam had already tinged her eyes.

But she did not swallow the wine at once. Instead, she leaned toward Zhou Er, the fragrance of wine mingling with the faint scent of her body.

Their lips met softly, and the warm wine slowly passed from Bai Fengting's mouth into his. It was not strong, yet it carried a pleasantly intoxicating warmth.

Her lashes lowered, her breath brushed his cheek, and her expression was languid and tender.

The two parted after a brief touch, each with a faintly smiling, unreadable look. Zhou Er's heart stirred, and even the scent of wine seemed to turn into flirtation.

"I think Fellow Daoist Bai really can't drink any more. I won't force you. How about we change the rules?"

Zhou Er said with a smile.

Bai Fengting was quick to catch on, and he was satisfied.

"Senior Lei, what rules do you want to change to?"

Bai Fengting's gaze was hazy. She was already quite drunk, and even her lips were burning.

"Fine, I'll take a small loss. Sister Bai, you look warm too. If you lose, take off an item of clothing to cool down a little. I'll take the loss and just drink a cup."

Zhou Er said with a sly smile.

Bai Fengting was already a little dazed. Without realizing it, she nodded and said,

"Okay!"

Bai Fengting was muddled to begin with, and after a round of the drinking game, she had no idea whether she'd won or lost. All she heard was Zhou Er saying,

"Fellow Daoist Bai, you lost. You know what to do, right?"

"Senior Lei, I'm willing... willing to honor the wager."

Bai Fengting raised a hand and undid the Light Green Silk Scarf, the outermost layer. With a light tug of her fingertips, the gauzy fabric, thin as a cicada's wing, slid from her shoulder and came to rest in the crook of her arm.

Her shoulders were softly defined, setting off her slender neck. A misty, ethereal grace seemed to drift around her; she stood with a clear, elegant bearing, utterly free of anything vulgar.

No sooner had she taken off one item of clothing than Bai Fengting lost again.

This time, Zhou Er didn't even need to prompt her; Bai Fengting was already moving.

The corners of her eyes were faintly red as she reached up and undid the jade clasp at her collar.

Her outer robe slowly slipped down her arms to her elbows, revealing the Moon White Undergarment beneath. The close-fitting fabric clung lightly to her figure, hinting at gentle curves—softly rounded, yet as pure as moonlight.

At the sight of such a tempting scene, Zhou Er felt his heart stir.

He could have pounced on her like a wild beast, but the game had only just begun. It would be a shame to rush things.

So he poured out two more cups of spirit wine and set them on the table.

By then, night had fallen, and the moon had risen. Its bright light shone on the wine, making it glimmer.

Zhou Er lost the first round, and then it was Bai Fengting's turn again.

Perhaps Bai Fengting was thirsty. She actually forgot the rules and drank a cup of wine first.

Then she set down the cup, hooked a finger into her sleeve, and took off her outer robe completely, casually placing it on the stone table beside her.

The undergarment fit more snugly. Her waist was slender, its gentle lines extending downward; the lines of her back were clean and smooth. Even the slightest movement carried a faint, immortal grace. The intoxication lay not in her clothes, but in her bearing.

"Senior Lei, you lost this time. You should take something off too. Whether you drink or not doesn't matter."

Bai Fengting said hazily.

"Okay!"

Zhou Er nodded. He had only three layers of clothing on, so he didn't have much room for error.

Bai Fengting lost twice and won once, and first pulled off Zhou Er's outer robe.

Her joy didn't last long; Bai Fengting's triumph turned to dismay.

"I lost again?"

Bai Fengting could feel the cool air against her skin.

Even with so many layers on, she couldn't afford to lose two more rounds.

Still, she was willing to honor the wager. She lowered her eyes slightly and reached up to loosen the matching silk sash at her waist. It slipped softly to the ground.

Without the sash, the undergarment hung a little looser, outlining the gentle rise of her chest and the flowing lines of her waist and hips. Her figure was evenly proportioned, neither too full nor too slight—a quiet, vivid beauty.

The game continued. Bai Fengting no longer knew what she was playing, nor whether she'd won or lost. All she could hear was Zhou Er's urging, buzzing endlessly in her ears.

She wasn't embarrassed or annoyed. Her fingertips rested lightly on the front of her undergarment. After a brief pause, the garment slipped open; beneath it was her close-fitting lingerie.

Moonlight fell across her. Her skin was lustrous and smooth, her figure delicately curving, her breathing light. Her eyes and brows remained clear and gentle. Only a thin layer stood between them now, neither shed nor kept, stirring an itch in the heart.

Zhou Er could no longer restrain his most primal urges.
