Absorbing obsession

At the sight, the smile on Wu Fei's lips deepened. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the protagonist approach step by step, knowing he had made the right move.

An Innate Exquisite Heart indeed gave rise to no inner demons and feared no obstruction demons. His demonic corruption was naturally a lie.

At first, he had merely acted on a whim to test the Heavenly Dao, but the result was a pleasant surprise. Using demonic corruption as an excuse to unleash his true nature, he had indeed escaped the Heavenly Dao's notice-or perhaps it had noticed but could do nothing about it...

Warm fingers settled into a slightly cool palm, like prey delivering itself step by step into a hunter's hands.

Their hands pressed closely together. With a little force, Wu Fei pulled him over, lowering his head slightly to meet Yin Fan's eyes. He raised his free hand and pressed his palm against Yin Fan's chest, then leaned toward his ear and said with a smile, "Your heart is beating so fast. What are you nervous about, Devil Venerable?"

Yin Fan watched Wu Fei's series of movements, his gaze fixed firmly on him. "Senior Brother Wu Fei, do you know what you're doing? Do you know that you're now..."

"I've succumbed to demonic corruption." Wu Fei finished for him, a hint of abandon in his blood-red eyes. His palm slowly moved upward to rest against Yin Fan's cheek, his voice deepening slightly. "What, now that I've succumbed to demonic corruption, you no longer like me, Devil Venerable?"

That was naturally not what Yin Fan meant. Though the demonically corrupted Wu Fei before him differed greatly in temperament from the Wu Fei of before, the feeling he gave him had not changed. Even after succumbing to demonic corruption, he was still Wu Fei.

He clenched his teeth, his eyes deep and dark. "I do."

I like you so much, but...

"I fear that once you regain your senses, Buddha's Chosen, you'll regret what you do today."

At that, Wu Fei chuckled softly. His hand moved gently, slowly passing over Yin Fan's eyes and stroking his black hair before finally settling on his waist.

Then he abruptly exerted force, pinning the startled Devil Venerable against the jade bedpost. Their movements dislodged the loosely hung bed curtains, which fell to enclose a small space.

Their surroundings suddenly grew dimmer, but both were at the Mahayana Stage and could still see perfectly clearly. The hand around Yin Fan's waist held him extremely tightly, as though afraid he would run away.

Since they had met, apart from the time Yin Fan had stolen a kiss from Wu Fei, they had never pressed so closely together.

"Back in the inheritance grounds, you said you would imprison me in the Devil Venerable's great hall and take liberties with me as you pleased..." Wu Fei's voice sounded beside Yin Fan's ear, as light as mist, yet carrying an unspoken meaning.

"Now that I'm here in your Devil Venerable's great hall, why are you hesitating so much..."

He lifted Yin Fan's chin. His slightly cool fingertip slowly warmed as it rubbed against his skin, and he chuckled softly. "Could it be that you want... me to take liberties with you?"

Chapter 24: Absorbing obsession

Take liberties...

Yin Fan could not help recalling what he had said in the inheritance grounds that day. Then, at some thought, his throat moved almost imperceptibly, and his lips grew slightly dry.

His reaction did not escape Wu Fei's eyes. A hint of aggression entered Wu Fei's gaze as the hand holding his chin moved to his mouth, a fingertip slowly brushing over his lips.

A humid intimacy filled the surrounding space strand by strand, and the temperature in the hall gradually rose. The feelings hidden in their exchanged gazes and the inseparable mingling of their breaths were enough to make one blush.

Yin Fan's heart pounded like a drum. He raised his chin slightly and said fiercely, "Senior Brother, if you keep going, I won't let you leave even if you regret it later."

Wu Fei's gaze deepened. With a smile on his lips, he slowly leaned closer. "Unwavering and without regret..."

The rest of his words vanished between their joined lips. At the first touch, both paused, then Wu Fei swept in like a violent storm, forcefully stealing Yin Fan's breath as their lips and tongues intertwined.

The forceful kiss caught Yin Fan off guard. His fingers instinctively clenched Wu Fei's Buddhist robes, creasing the fabric.

Having waited far too long to unleash his true nature, Wu Fei grew ever more unrestrained. His hand gripped Yin Fan's waist tightly, the heat of his palm seeming to burn through the fabric and into Yin Fan's heart.

Yin Fan raised a hand and lightly pushed against Wu Fei's chest, letting out a short, muffled sound.

But the next instant, Wu Fei caught both his hands and pinned them above his head. The Buddhist prayer beads wound around his wrists several times, and the black xiao hanging from them swayed slightly with their movements, making Yin Fan's skin look even fairer.

Faint, muffled sounds came from the small space enclosed by the curtains. Wu Fei held Yin Fan firmly trapped between himself and the bedpost, only drawing back a little once he had kissed the Devil Venerable until his eyes turned hazy.

Looking at the Devil Venerable's crimson lips, a trace of satisfaction surfaced in Wu Fei's eyes. His fingertip slowly rubbed the corner of Yin Fan's mouth, restrained yet carrying a hint of abandon.

Were it not for the Heavenly Dao's restraints, he would long since have pinned Yin Fan down and kissed him until he was dazed and speechless, until moisture filled his eyes. If Yin Fan truly could not bear it and shed a tear, he would kiss that away too...

There were things Wu Fei could not do that a demonically corrupted Wu Fei could easily accomplish. In that regard, he was somewhat grateful to Cang Xiao and the others for summoning the obstruction demon.

Once Yin Fan recovered from the heat of their encounter, embarrassment and annoyance showed in his eyes. Wu Fei had actually, actually gone so far... Remembering the scene just now, he could not help flushing faintly again.

Once, Yin Fan had teased Wu Fei without restraint. Now that Wu Fei was taking the initiative, he had instead grown reserved.

Taking in all of Yin Fan's reactions, Wu Fei stroked the slightly reddened corner of his eye and gently kissed it, saying softly, "If I regret it someday..."

The man in his arms stiffened. Wu Fei continued, "Then you can imprison me in your Devil Venerable's great hall and do whatever you wish with me..."

Regret was naturally impossible. Wu Fei had said this to give Yin Fan some sense of security.

Yin Fan looked up in shock. Realizing that Wu Fei meant it sincerely, he fell silent for a moment, then stared straight into his eyes. "Senior Brother, I'll remember what you said."

If Wu Fei truly regretted it when the time came, he would keep Wu Fei locked in the Devil Domain, even if it took chains.

For a moment, the obsession in his eyes ran even deeper than that of the "demonically corrupted" Wu Fei.

Seeing this, Wu Fei's gaze darkened slightly. He gently stroked Yin Fan's back, the gesture carrying a hint of reassurance.
