Shen Luo carried Fire Fairy briskly into her bedchamber and casually hooked the door with his heel. It slammed shut with a bang.
The room was simply furnished, rather different from what he had imagined.
A wooden bed, a stone table, and a candle lamp whose light was not harsh.
The air was dry. Shen Luo sniffed. Aside from the faint scent of sandalwood lingering in the simple room, there was also Fire Fairy's distinctive fragrance.
It refreshed the heart and soothed the soul, drawing him into its intoxicating embrace.
Was this really the bedchamber of the strongest female saint on the Dou Qi Continent?
Such a spartan room was the resting place of a late-stage seven-star Dou Saint?
Unbelievable!
Shen Luo lowered his head and planted a kiss on Fire Fairy's breathtaking face, then gently laid the warm, soft body in his arms onto the wooden bed.
The beautiful woman's dark hair was disheveled, her eyes vacant. Her usual regal elegance and immaculate dignity had faded, leaving only a tender beauty that made his heart tremble.
Shen Luo stood beside the bed, looking down at her exquisite face, his chest heaving.
He reached out, brushing his fingertips against Fire Fairy's smooth cheek.
"Aunt Ling, I'm not a good man, but I won't harm you. One day, you'll be proud of me!" Shen Luo suddenly said, his voice slightly hoarse.
Naturally, Fire Fairy could not answer. She merely panted softly and unconsciously.
Shen Luo stared at the beautiful woman on the bed, his breathing unwittingly growing heavier. Emotions churned within him, and thoughts he should never have entertained flashed through his mind.
Fire Fairy's eyes were unfocused, her breathing rapid, her chest rising and falling slightly.
In the candlelight, her skin was like creamy white jade. Her belly was flat, and her voluptuous body trembled gently, as though silently resisting something.
Shen Luo's fingertips stopped in midair, only an inch from the side of her neck.
That faint trembling abruptly brought him to his senses.
He almost heard her saying, "Shen Luo, stop. You can't treat Aunt Ling like this."
A look of struggle surfaced on Shen Luo's face.
"Mmh..." Fire Fairy suddenly let out a soft moan.
Startled, Shen Luo immediately withdrew his hand and hurriedly checked her expression. Only after confirming that it was merely an instinctive reaction did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
He closed his eyes briefly, his voice low and husky. "Aunt Ling, even if you're a late-stage seven-star Dou Saint with an Emperor Clan bloodline and a status so lofty that others can only look up to you, right now you're just a woman without the strength to truss a chicken. But if I took advantage of your helplessness, what would that make me?"
Shen Luo took a deep breath, and the masculine aura of his heavenly tyrant body invaded Fire Fairy's body.
The beautiful woman knitted her brows tightly, pain showing on her face, as though she were desperately holding something back.
The air seemed to freeze, while the candle flame in the room flickered.
"Aunt Ling, what you just did was very dangerous. Once the truth about my origins is exposed, neither you nor anyone else on the Dou Qi Continent will let me go!"
Shen Luo looked at the beautiful woman on the bed and spoke without any unease.
At that moment, he could easily have pinned Fire Fairy beneath him and taken whatever he wanted.
But he did not.
Though he could hardly bear to take his hands off this mature beauty, a meal had to be eaten one mouthful at a time. Being able to indulge in a little fondling today had already left him quite satisfied.
"Aunt Ling, you're aloof and noble, incomparably beautiful. In all these thousands of years, surely no other man has ever been able to savor such a peerless delicacy as you with abandon, here in your room, on your bed, as I have!"
Shen Luo straightened his clothes and murmured to himself.
I've crossed over to the Dou Qi Continent, and I can control fire. Doing nothing at all would be far too dull!
But those who play with fire will burn themselves. Even if I got my way today, what would that achieve?
Yet he absolutely could not tolerate Fire Fairy using her Heaven Realm Great Perfection soul against him, so taking a few liberties counted as a small punishment for her.
Fire Fairy's lashes quivered, and her face twitched slightly. Her regal, dignified features now looked alluring and seductive.
As the pinnacle among the female characters of the Dou Qi Continent, Fire Fairy had only grown more captivating with time. Her body bore no flaws; instead, sculpted by the years, she had become like a fully ripened peach.
How could she be a mortal woman? She was clearly the Nine-Heavens Profound Maiden descended to the mortal world, to be admired from afar, never profaned by familiar hands.
Shen Luo suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura weakening once more.
"I can't keep this up. I'm reaching my limit."
Shen Luo frowned, a savage expression crossing his face. A moment later, he took an Eighth-Tier Pill from his Storage Ring and swallowed it in one gulp.
Once the pill reached his stomach, Shen Luo sat cross-legged to refine it.
Like a magical beast that had gone hungry for ages, his heavenly tyrant body greedily absorbed the vast medicinal power, replenishing the energy consumed by his Fire Control ability.
After refining it briefly, Shen Luo rose again, pinned Fire Fairy beneath him, and began stealing kiss after kiss.
His kisses grew increasingly tender.
Finally, he kissed the smooth top of Fire Fairy's foot, then abruptly stood, looking down from above at her graceful body.
Her exquisite skin was white as jade and utterly flawless, her twin peaks full and proud, without the slightest hint of sagging.
Had they not known the truth, no one would have believed that this peerless beauty, who looked like a maiden of sixteen, was actually a Dou Sheng expert who had lived for thousands of years-and a grand elder of the Yan Clan, second only to its clan leader in status.
Fire Fairy still lay weakly on the bed, intermittent soft moans escaping her lips, her surging curves trembling with the rise and fall of her breath.
Shen Luo steadied himself. His hands began forming seals, his eyes filled with white light, and his Fire Control ability activated once more.
An enchanting nine-colored butterfly eerily appeared on Fire Fairy's flat belly, fading in and out like a tattoo, impossible to see clearly.
This seven-colored butterfly was the core of his Fire Control ability.
Then Shen Luo fixed his gaze firmly on Fire Fairy's eyes and said earnestly:
"You controlled me with the Soul-Control Technique and learned that there was nothing special about my constitution. You won't suspect me again."
A little life seemed to return to Fire Fairy's eyes, and the seven-colored butterfly on her belly glittered.
"Repeat it," Shen Luo said urgently.
A trace of struggle appeared on Fire Fairy's exquisite face. A moment later, her thin lips parted:
"I controlled you with the Soul-Control Technique and discovered that there was nothing special about your constitution. I won't suspect you again."
Her soft voice slowly sounded through the room. By then, Shen Luo's face was deathly pale, and purple blood had begun spilling from his mouth and nose. Forcing himself to remain upright, he spoke again:
"From now on, you must not attack me at will, and you must obey my orders unconditionally. If anything seems unreasonable, you'll fill in the gaps yourself."
The instant he finished speaking, Shen Luo violently spat out a mouthful of blood. His Fire Control ability finally failed.
Once an arrow was loosed, there was no calling it back. The gulf between their strengths was too great; Fire Fairy was still more than Shen Luo could swallow.
For now, he could only rely on the absolute control of his Fire Control ability to put himself in a relatively safe position and gain a late-stage seven-star Dou Saint as his guardian.
Of course, in the end, it all depended on how effective Fire Control proved to be.
If Fire Fairy destroyed his body and soul with a single slap, he would have no choice but to accept his fate!
A moment later.
Fire Fairy slowly awakened on the bed.
