The two sat close together.
They could each feel the warmth of the other's breath.
Shen Luo's muscular physique, radiating an aura of supreme yang and dominance, made Fire Fairy's heart tremble slightly, a rare flush appearing across her usually placid face.
For a powerhouse of her level to promise Shen Luo a single request-what manner of great fortune was that.
Yet this silly boy actually asked her to do nothing more than stare into his eyes for a moment. Could it be that refining pills had scrambled his brain, or was there something special about his eyes?
This only piqued her curiosity further, and the Soul of a Heaven Realm Great Perfection gathered within her Sea of Consciousness as she looked toward Shen Luo's eyes.
This was a powerhouse's instinctive reaction: first, to protect herself, and second, she harbored certain plans of her own.
Fire Fairy possessed an ancient soul secret technique called the Soul-Control Technique. Through the eyes or soul fluctuations, she could control an opponent without their knowledge, influencing their thoughts and actions, or even directly manipulating them to serve her own ends.
Naturally, Fire Fairy harbored no malicious intent; it was simply that sitting and watching each other at such close quarters felt somewhat intimate.
Though she had lived for several millennia, not a single man had ever been in such close contact with her.
She stared into Shen Luo's eyes, and her powerful soul force instantly entered Shen Luo's Sea of Consciousness. She intended to control Shen Luo, then see what on earth was inside his eyes, and by the way, question him about his bizarre constitution.
Such was Fire Fairy's plan, and so she acted.
Meanwhile, the white light deep within Shen Luo's eyes grew steadily richer. Once triggered, the Fire Control golden finger had already left a brand upon Fire Fairy's lower abdomen.
All he needed to do now was awaken that mark, but the wind-up to awaken it took too long. He had to look directly into her eyes at close range to complete it.
The moment their lines of sight intertwined, the white light in the depths of Shen Luo's eyes silently and instantly pierced into the deep recesses of Fire Fairy's pupils.
At the same time, a wisp of Fire Fairy's Heaven Realm Great Perfection soul entered Shen Luo's Sea of Consciousness and seized control of his body.
Both parties were placed under each other's skill control at the exact same time.
Like Morgana and Lux's Q abilities, they had mutually locked each other down.
The two simply stared at each other like that, gazes vacant, resembling marionettes on strings.
The Fire Control golden finger gifted to Shen Luo by the system exercised absolute effect over Fire Fairy, instantly subduing her and awaiting Shen Luo's next instruction.
Yet concurrently, Fire Fairy's Heaven Realm Great Perfection soul likewise seized control of Shen Luo's Sea of Consciousness, plunging his consciousness into darkness and rendering him unable to issue commands.
The two individuals, each harboring ulterior motives, stood utterly motionless at that moment, like wooden puppets.
Suddenly, the Devouring Ancestral Talisman hidden deep within Shen Luo's soul stirred abnormally.
Seemingly sensing something, the Devouring Ancestral Talisman suddenly erupted with a blinding black radiance, enshrouding Shen Luo's entire body within it.
Shen Luo's eyes abruptly turned as pitch-black as ink, and his entire person transformed into an energy vortex. Whether light, sound waves, heaven and earth energy, flames, or even that wisp of Fire Fairy's Heavenly soul-all of them were drawn like iron filings to a magnet, successively turning into streaks of light that were ruthlessly devoured by the terrifying vortex.
Roughly an incense stick of time later.
Shen Luo blinked, beads of fine sweat covering his forehead as he breathed heavily.
Meanwhile, Fire Fairy still sat in her chair with a vacant gaze.
Shen Luo had previously been in an unconscious state, and the Devouring Ancestral Talisman had passively protected its master by spontaneously absorbing everything around it. Although that wisp of Heaven Realm Great Perfection soul force was formidable, it was nevertheless completely absorbed and exhausted by the Devouring Ancestral Talisman.
Holy mother of mine, that was too close! Lingering fear gripped Shen Luo, and his face had already turned pale.
Trust must not be abandoned when dealing with others; perhaps Fire Fairy harbored no ill intent toward him, but if she had truly managed to control him, then his Heavenly Tyrant Body, the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, and even his identity as an otherworldly traveler might all have been exposed.
If it had come to that, how would Fire Fairy have treated him?
Fortunately, his Fire Control priority had proved higher in the end, and the Devouring Ancestral Talisman had also performed meritoriously in protecting its master.
Shen Luo smiled faintly, looking at the expressionless woman before him. A thought stirred in his heart, and he reached out to firmly grasp Fire Fairy's jade-like slender hand, pulling her toward him in one fluid motion.
Unable to resist, her soft and delicate body fell right into his broad embrace.
Shen Luo's arm dominantly wrapped around her waist, and his hand stood on no ceremony whatsoever as it traveled upward beneath her loose robes along the curve of her waist, finally climbing onto those towering billows to fondle them wantonly.
A fragrant breeze assaulted his senses, and those astonishing arcs and curves made him reluctant to let go.
"Ling Auntie, I'm going to manipulate you fiercely." Shen Luo's breathing grew a fraction more hurried.
"Mmph." Fire Fairy's delicate body trembled, and she murmured unconsciously.
Even though she had lost consciousness, the instinctive reactions of her body remained.
The air seemed to have frozen.
Shen Luo's body was scorching hot, terrifyingly so.
Looking at the docile Fire Fairy in his arms, Shen Luo felt his heartbeat accelerate, and the wicked fire ignited in his lower abdomen blazed ever more fiercely.
His body was like parched earth meeting sweet rain, every single pore of his being greedily devouring the scorching aura radiating from Fire Fairy.
Fire Fairy was the undisputed ceiling of female combat strength on the Dou Qi Continent-the absolute number-one woman among females. Powerful, noble, dignified, and poised, she made people too awestruck to look directly at her yet stirred boundless fantasies, inspiring a dual impulse to submit and to desecrate.
This shudder and yearning from the depths of his soul left Shen Luo intoxicated, unable to extricate himself.
Shen Luo lowered his head, drawing close to Fire Fairy's ear as his warm breath brushed against her sensitive earlobe, and whispered in a gentle, mischievous tone:
"Ling Auntie, you promised me. If I won, I'd get to eat noodles-you can't go back on your word now."
Two flushes of rosy clouds bloomed across the beautiful matron's exquisite cheeks as her chest rose and fell. Her hands made an unconscious, blocking gesture that lent her an added flavor of coy refusal.
Shen Luo stroked her enchanting collarbone, then raised his right arm to wrap it around the back of her neck, pressing her full, plump peaks tightly against his chest.
"Ling Auntie, don't blame me. Who told my golden finger to only work on you-you are fire, and I am the one who controls it."
As his voice fell, Shen Luo's expression turned pale as a streak of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Fire Fairy's strength was simply too formidable, and executing the Fire Control ability was not entirely without cost.
Shen Luo's Dou Qi and soul force depleted at a blistering pace; had his constitution not been the Heavenly Tyrant Body, he likely would have collapsed from exhaustion long before now.
Shen Luo retrieved a Seventh-Grade Pill from his Storage Ring and swallowed it instantly, then, after a brief hesitation, fished out two more Sixth-Grade Pills and shoved them into his mouth.
Relying on the invincible constitution of the Heavenly Tyrant Body, the Fire Control ability could sustain itself for at least the time it took to burn an incense stick.
He did not have much time left.
Shen Luo's large hands grew increasingly unbridled across Fire Fairy's chest, his fingertips mischievously teasing that rosy crest through the thin fabric.
Sensing the sudden tensing and trembling of the beautiful matron's body in his arms, Shen Luo hooked Fire Fairy's smooth chin, gazed at her dignified yet bewitching, peerless face, and chuckled softly:
"Those old fogies of the Ancient Eight Clans would probably never dream in a million years that Fire Fairy, the Supreme Elder of the Yan Clan whose name shakes the entire Dou Qi Continent, is currently lying in my arms like a docile little lamb, letting me dally with her at will."
The warm and tender body in his arms grew more scorching by the second. Shen Luo scooped up the beautiful matron by the bend of her knees and strode swiftly toward Fire Fairy's bedroom.
"Ling Auntie, I want to eat noodles-right now."
