Chapter 60 p1
Xin Yao sat on the bed, fidgeting, her intertwined fingers nervously tracing the contours of her stomach. She paced back and forth in front of the bed, her anxiety and anticipation growing.
Then, the door to the walk-in closet creaked open.
Xin Yao turned her head, her gaze instantly captivated by the figure emerging from the shadows.
Xu Jingyu, dressed in black, stood in the doorway.
Calling it a dress was perhaps an exaggeration. The sheer fabric, strategically placed, concealed just enough, yet revealed even more, the interplay of light and shadow a tantalizing tease.
Her pale skin contrasted sharply with the black fabric, the visual impact striking.
And to further heighten the effect, she wore a black choker and matching anklets, their simple elegance amplifying the already sensual atmosphere.
Xin Yao, her heart pounding, her cheeks flushed, her breath catching in her throat, could barely tear her gaze away.
Seeing her reaction, Xu Jingyu smiled, walking towards her and leaning closer, her lips brushing against Xin Yao’s ear, her voice a husky whisper.
“Want to touch my tail?”
She even had a tail!
Xin Yao’s hand, as if drawn by an invisible force, reached out and gently stroked the fluffy black fox tail dangling between Xu Jingyu’s legs.
The soft fur, smooth and silky beneath her fingertips, was like a caress, a forbidden touch that made her heart race.
She knew it was just a costume, a prop, yet in that moment, it felt strangely real, as if she were touching Xu Jingyu’s own tail, her cheeks burning even brighter.
Xu Jingyu, capturing Xin Yao’s hand before she could pull it away, held it against her cheek, nuzzling against it, her voice a soft murmur.
“Don’t be shy. I’m yours. You can do anything you want to me.”
She paused, her dark eyes sparkling with amusement.
Then, leaning closer, her lips brushing against Xin Yao’s ear, she whispered, “Master.”
The word, spoken in her cool, slightly husky voice, sent shivers down Xin Yao’s spine, her body flushing with a sudden heat, her mind momentarily blank.
In that moment, she would have agreed to anything, even being tied up, if Xu Jingyu had asked.
After a long moment, Xin Yao, her heart still racing, her fingers slightly numb, gently caressed Xu Jingyu’s cheek.
“I have high standards. If you want to be my little fox, you’ll have to work hard to please me.”
Xin Yao’s words were mostly bravado.
She was good at talking a big game, but when it came to the actual act, she would inevitably try to escape, her tears and pleas a familiar refrain.
But the cunning fox, taking her words literally, seemed determined to fulfill her “master’s” every whim.
The first half of their encounter was gentle and tender, the fox’s touch light and playful, her lips exploring Xin Yao’s skin with a delicate precision, her movements slow and deliberate, catering to Xin Yao’s preference for a more languid pace.
But then, something shifted, perhaps when the red rope appeared, its vibrant color a stark contrast against Xin Yao’s pale skin, its tight knots binding her wrists, her body now a captive, her beautiful eyes wide with a mix of fear and desire, her soft pleas echoing through the room.
Xu Jingyu’s fingers traced the red rope against Xin Yao’s skin, her gaze intense, her excitement growing with each touch.
And then, she lost control, her passion unrestrained.
Xin Yao, unable to bear it any longer, her body weak and trembling, pushed against Xu Jingyu, her voice a mix of tears and soft moans.
“Stop… stop it…”
“You’re still…”
“Mmm, I’m your master! Why aren’t you listening to me?!”
Xu Jingyu leaned down and kissed her, her lips silencing Xin Yao’s protests, then, her voice a husky whisper, her eyes sparkling with amusement, she said, “I’m simply fulfilling my master’s wishes.”
“Yaoyao said I had to please her, so I’m trying my best. Even if my master’s words are insincere, I can’t stop.”
Seducing her wasn’t enough. She even had to be a smartass!
Xin Yao was exasperated, yet also aroused, her body betraying her, her resistance crumbling.
And so, in the two weeks since Xin Yao had moved in, they had spent most of their time exploring the contents of Xu Jingyu’s extensive lingerie collection, their nights filled with passion and laughter, Xin Yao’s body a canvas for Xu Jingyu’s unrestrained desires, the love bites fading only to be replaced by new ones, a constant cycle of pleasure and pain.
Xin Yao had become almost afraid of Xu Jingyu, avoiding her whenever she could.
Today, however, she hadn’t been able to escape, Xu Jingyu capturing her as she tried to flee the bed, pulling her back into her embrace, her touch both gentle and firm.
Xin Yao, frustrated, had retaliated by biting Xu Jingyu’s shoulder, leaving a row of small, pink marks on her skin.
Xu Jingyu hadn’t even flinched, her eyes shining with a strange delight, seemingly enjoying the pain.
Finally, exhausted, Xin Yao had fallen asleep.
But just a few hours later, she had been jolted awake by a sudden, urgent voice in her mind, like a stone thrown into a still pond, the ripples spreading outwards, disturbing the peaceful surface.
Her eyes snapped open, her gaze fixed on the darkness, her mind slowly regaining its clarity, realizing it was the system calling her.
Liu Nuan Nuan was usually reliable, rarely interrupting her unless it was important. A call in the middle of the night meant something was wrong.
Xin Yao frowned slightly. “What is it?”
Liu Nuan Nuan scoffed.
[That scumbag Li Xu is trying to escape.]
“Huh?”
[Oh, right, you don’t know.]
Liu Nuan Nuan smacked herself on the head, then quickly explained how Xu Jingyu, wanting to avenge Xin Yao, had been targeting the Mo family, and how Li Xu, desperate for a powerful patron, had ended up in the clutches of Dan Yan, a ruthless sadist.
Li Xu’s life under Dan Yan’s control had been a living hell, his every move restricted, forced to crawl and kneel, his body a constant reminder of his subservience.
He had looked up at Dan Yan, sitting on the sofa, her gaze cold and condescending, and had realized, with a chilling certainty, that she wasn’t joking. She truly saw him as a dog, not a human being.
And as if that wasn’t enough, he had gradually realized that she had no intention of helping him.
One day, having finally gathered the courage to ask her about it, Dan Yan had laughed, her laughter loud and mocking, then, her amusement fading, she had looked at him with a mixture of contempt and pity.
“Doggy, are you joking? You tried to kill someone! Who would be foolish enough to help you? I’m a law-abiding citizen.”
Damn it!
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
She had been playing him all along! She had never intended to help him!
He had managed to avoid the police for a while, thanks to his connections, but his time was running out. They would be coming for him soon.
He couldn’t stay here. He had to leave.
So, that night, he had packed his bags, ready to flee.
Xin Yao, listening to the system’s report, turned to look at Xu Jingyu’s sleeping face, her heart filled with a warmth and gratitude she hadn’t expected. Xu Jingyu hadn’t even told her, her actions a silent expression of her love and protectiveness.
Then, a flicker of amusement touched her eyes. Li Xu, a disgusting creature until the very end.
“What’s the situation now?”
[He’s almost finished packing.]
Xin Yao looked at Xu Jingyu, her sleeping face peaceful and serene, and gently tucked the blanket around her before getting out of bed and going to the bathroom.
She turned on the light, the bright fluorescent light illuminating the small space.
She paced back and forth, thinking, then finally sat down on the edge of the sink, the cool marble a welcome contrast to the warmth of the bed.
She opened the system shop, her finger scrolling through the items.
While Li Xu might not be able to escape, it would be better if he couldn’t even try.
She would give him a parting gift, a final punishment for his crimes against the original owner.
After searching for a while, she found the perfect item.
[Illusion (30 points)]
[Description: Creates a customized illusion for the target.]
[Requirements: Must maintain eye contact with the target’s image during activation for precise targeting.]
[Recommendation: Upgrade to the premium version (50 points) for automatic targeting, no eye contact required.]
So, they were advertising now?
50 points?! They were robbing her!
She had earned only 300 points for an entire lifetime in the previous world! And staying in that world would have cost only 100 points!
Who would pay for the premium version? Did they think she was stupid?
As for maintaining eye contact with the target’s image, that was easy. A quick online search revealed hundreds of photos of the scumbag.
She grabbed her phone, selected a random photo of Li Xu, and held it up, a cold smile playing on her lips.
Then, she clicked “use.”
At that very moment, thousands of miles away, Li Xu, having finished packing, walked towards the door.
As his hand reached for the doorknob, he felt a sudden chill, as if he had been plunged into icy water, the world around him falling silent.
He shivered, his body trembling, his hair standing on end.
A sense of unease, a primal fear, gripped him, and he slowly turned his head, his gaze fixed on the figure standing behind him.
His eyes widened in horror, a scream trapped in his throat, his legs giving way beneath him.
Standing there, in a bloodstained white dress, her long black hair matted and tangled, half her face caved in, was the ghost of Xin Yao.
And as he stared at her, she lifted her head, her eyes, or rather, the empty sockets where her eyes had been, fixed on his face, a chilling smile playing on her lips.
“Li Xu, why did you kill me?”
Li Xu, terrified, his eyes bloodshot, his body trembling uncontrollably, turned to flee.
But as he turned, he almost fainted.
Standing behind him was Ying Xi, her body also covered in blood, her broken ribs protruding from her skin, her appearance gruesome.
She was smiling, holding a bloody mass in her outstretched hand.
“Look, it’s our child.”
Li Xu’s legs gave way, and he collapsed onto the floor, screaming, his body scrambling backwards, his hands pushing against the floor, trying to escape.
“Who… who are you?! Are you ghosts?! What do you want?!”
Trapped in the illusion, his memories fragmented and distorted, he saw flashes of his past life, his crimes now a terrifying reality.
He forgot about Xin Yao, his mind fixated on the original owner’s death.
His eyes widened in horror, his voice a hoarse scream.
“Help! Ghosts! There are ghosts!”
His screams only seemed to excite the two bloody figures, who continued to approach him, their voices echoing in his ears.
“Why did you kill me? I wanted to live!”
“Why did you kill me? I was carrying your child! It hurt so much! That night, in the alley, it was so cold! And the blows, they hurt so much!”
“Why did you kill me?”
“Why did you kill me?”
“No, no, there are no ghosts!” Li Xu scrambled backwards, his voice filled with a desperate denial. “You’re just pretending!”
He grabbed a nearby vase and, in a fit of panic, threw it at the approaching figures.
But the vase passed through them, as if they were made of air, shattering on the floor behind them.
The sound, the shattering of glass, the realization that they were indeed ghosts, made Li Xu’s blood run cold.
The two women laughed, their laughter shrill and mocking, echoing through the night as they continued to approach him.
“So, an eye for an eye, a life for a life. We’ve come for you, Li Xu. It’s only fair, isn’t it?”
Their laughter, the oppressive atmosphere, the terror that gripped his heart, it was all too much for him to bear.
A cold, sharp fingernail traced his eyelid.
Before he even felt the pain, his mind snapped, his body trembling uncontrollably, his bladder emptying, a warm wetness spreading through his pants.
“Don’t kill me! Please! I’m sorry! It was all my fault! I didn’t know what I was doing!”
“Please spare me! Don’t kill me!”
The man who had spent his entire life climbing, clawing his way to the top, now groveled at their feet, his fear greater than his pride.
As if his pleas weren’t enough, he scrambled to his feet and kowtowed, his forehead banging against the floor.
“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! Please don’t kill me!”
His pathetic display of groveling only earned him a cold stare from the two ghostly figures.
“Then confess your crimes.”
Ten minutes later, Li Xu turned himself in.
The police, alerted by his frantic phone call, arrived quickly, and Li Xu, his voice choked with sobs, rushed towards them, his words a jumbled confession.
“I did it! It was all me! I wanted to kill them!”
He could still see them, the two ghostly figures, following him, their gazes fixed on his back.
Meanwhile, Xin Yao, sitting on the bathroom sink, listening to the dog system’s live report, smiled coldly.
“Do you think this illusion could be permanent? Let him live like this forever.”
[The illusion only lasts for an hour. But since you’re staying in this world, you can always use it again, whenever you want. Give him a little taste of hell.]
Xin Yao chuckled. “You’re so evil.”
[Thank you. I try.]
