Chapter 155: The Time of Sacrifice
“Sleeping as soon as you get back. You’re such a fool. But you seem really tired, so I’ll forgive you this time.”
Phils teased Kailun’s face with a strand of her purple hair. She had carefully avoided Afra and Carol on her way here.
Only now, with Kailun in deep sleep, did Phils dare to be so bold.
But even if she was discovered, it wouldn’t matter to Phils. After all, she had always been waiting for Kailun’s punishment.
What was the reason for her diligent work every day? Was it for her family’s status?
Yes, but not entirely.
She didn’t deny that she was ambitious, but compared to that, she enjoyed receiving Kailun’s punishment more.
Nothing was more pleasurable than Kailun’s punishment. If there was, it would be being punished continuously.
After confirming that tickling him with her hair wouldn’t wake him up, Phils placed her smooth, white thigh on Kailun’s leg.
She felt the warmth emanating from his leg, like a cat scratching at her heart, urging her to go further.
So, the bold Phils slipped her slender fingers under Kailun’s pajamas, roaming and teasing, enjoying this moment of unrestrained freedom.
She had endured for too long. Every time she saw Kailun being intimate with other women, she felt a pang of jealousy.
She was the one who came first. Whether it was plotting against Kailun or pledging her allegiance to him, she was always the first.
But Hilna, who came later, was being bullied every day, while she worked like a horse and didn’t receive the same treatment. Afterward, she even had to endure the anger of Rose and Dean Edlin.
Thinking about it this way, Phils felt she needed a lot of compensation, at least something like a whip.
“Hee hee hee…”
As a beauty on par with Hilna, Phils’s laughter always gave off a feeling of extreme perversion.
Hearing her laughter, the illusion quickly curled up into a ball.
Pitiful, weak, and unable to see the light of day.
In her memory, Phils had been more normal in her past life. Although she was Hilna’s advisor, she hadn’t done anything too outrageous.
After realizing that Hilna wouldn’t actually elevate her family to the dukedom, Phils had been slacking off.
Now, after joining Kailun’s camp, she was much more diligent, managing internal affairs in an orderly manner.
But the biggest problem was that she had awakened some incredible fetish, acting like a pet cat wagging its tail at its master in spring.
The illusion, lying on Kailun’s other side, could even hear the sound of Phils’s fingers caressing his chest.
However, this wasn’t the most outrageous part. The most outrageous part was that Phils even slipped her hand into Kailun’s pants, doing something unspeakable.
The sound of rustling reached the illusion’s ears, and she couldn’t help but recall certain encounters from the past few days.
She couldn’t take it anymore. Her fists clenched.
She couldn’t help but want to punch Phils.
Kailun was so tired, and she was secretly doing this?
While cursing Phils’s perversion, the illusion desperately searched for a way to escape. However, before she could act, Phils went a step further, snuggling into the covers and using her mouth.
Illusion: “…”
It was no exaggeration to say that she could clearly hear Phils’s rapid breathing.
Driven to desperation, she grabbed Kailun’s hand and slapped Phils’s perky bottom hard.
“Slap!”
The crisp sound echoed in the darkness under the covers. Even just hearing it could make one sink into the depths of desire.
“Hmph~”
After the sound of flesh hitting flesh came a soft moan. Phils almost bit down with all her might.
Her eyes were hazy with desire as she mumbled, “I knew you weren’t asleep. You were enjoying it, weren’t you? If you want me to bite harder, slap me harder~”
Her perverted words made the illusion want to scream. She wanted to hit Phils again with Kailun’s hand, but that would only make her even more excited.
She grabbed her hair, wondering why she was being subjected to this torture.
She worried about being discovered while enduring Phils’s perverted behavior.
“I’m going to break, I’m going to melt…” The illusion covered her ears with her hands, her expression showing that she was about to collapse.
Time passed slowly. No one came to disturb them before dark.
Because she didn’t receive any feedback from Kailun, Phils lost interest after an hour or two. She went to Kailun’s bathroom to rinse her mouth and then returned to bed.
She hugged Kailun tightly, and soon, soft snores could be heard.
The mentally exhausted illusion planned to take this opportunity to leave, but Kailun wrapped his arm around her waist, preventing her from escaping.
Held like this, the illusion quickly gave up hope of escape. She hugged Kailun’s arm and closed her eyes. It wouldn’t be bad to cuddle with him for a while before disappearing…
With this thought in mind, the illusion, intending to rest for a while, drifted off to sleep.
8:00 PM. Six hours had passed since Kailun returned. During these six hours, no one had disturbed him except for Phils.
As moonlight shone into the room and landed on Kailun’s face, he slowly opened his eyes.
After six hours of sleep, he had recovered most of his energy. The feeling of his head about to explode had temporarily subsided.
This was a side effect of his lack of attributes. If he had enough attribute points to allocate to both constitution and mental power, he wouldn’t have suffered such a severe backlash.
His trip to Kuye Town had been fruitful. He had not only gained a lot of attribute points but also acquired a priceless tomb, including the jade coffin, which was now his legal property.
He had also learned about another aspect of history, getting closer to the truth of his past life.
Fox’s goodwill had turned positive, and she seemed much closer to him.
If nothing unexpected happened, this Fox would probably become a vixen soon. Sad.
If there was anything he had lost, it was the attribute points from Paul.
Paul had now fallen to the sixth rank, his strength far inferior to before.
Besides, he also had to consider the impact of the disappearance of the other high-rank mages. He had to prepare an explanation beforehand.
Thinking of this, Kailun wanted to rub his temples, but his head started to hurt again.
Only then did he realize that he couldn’t move his hands. Someone was hugging each of his arms.
The person on his left was completely hidden under the covers. She felt very petite, and it was difficult to see her outline without looking closely.
On his right was Phils. Seeing her purple hair, Kailun recognized her immediately. She was sleeping soundly, clutching his arm, a gentle smile on her lips.
Phils felt incredibly smooth and warm against him. He couldn’t feel any clothes on her.
No wonder he had had that dream. It must have been caused by Phils.
In the dream, he had been bitten by a woman whose face he couldn’t see for a long time. He wanted to sleep, but she wouldn’t let go, and they had a long standoff.
Seeing Phils again now, Kailun had the urge to tease her.
But the biggest question now was, who was sleeping on his other side?
Kailun gently pulled his hand out from under the covers and then carefully lifted the blanket.
A petite figure came into view. She looked exactly like Vivian.
Touching her red hair, Kailun felt a lack of reality.
“It must be her…”
Looking at the illusion in front of him, Kailun thought of the other presence in Vivian’s consciousness. She was probably a remnant of Vivian from his past life.
“I didn’t expect to actually meet you. It seems that my rebirth wasn’t a coincidence.”
Kailun gently pinched Vivian’s cheek. He had many questions for her, but he knew he couldn’t ask any.
He felt that the Vivian in front of him was like a flickering candle in the wind, about to disappear at any moment.
His gaze landed on the wooden puppet on the bedside table. It was covered in a strange aura.
[Name: Vivian (Illusion)]
[Age: Unknown]
[Origin: A spiritual incarnation that shouldn’t exist, a type of anomaly.]
[Time Remaining: 5 hours]
Kailun: “…”
Was it too cruel for her to disappear in just five hours?
He had said many times that Vivian was a special person to him, especially the Vivian of his past life.
In his opinion, both the Vivian of his past life and this life were Vivian. He would treat them equally.
Kailun lifted the illusion’s clothes, revealing her cute navel. Then he bit his finger and began to engrave a magic circle on her lower abdomen.
Compared to the previous sacrificial magic, the magic circle drawn on the illusion’s abdomen was hundreds of times smaller, and its effect was countless times weaker.
However, for the illusion’s fragile constitution, he only needed to make a small sacrifice to sustain her life.
“What are you doing?”
The illusion woke up because of Kailun’s actions. She looked at him in shock, not knowing what he was doing.
“Preliminary preparations for casting a spell. Can’t you see?”
Kailun finished the last stroke and put his finger in the illusion’s mouth, wanting her to stop the bleeding.
But the illusion spat out his finger. “What are you talking about? Why don’t I understand?”
The illusion was pretending. She was imitating the Vivian of this life.
“Shh~ be quiet. Don’t wake Phils up, or she’ll cling to me again.”
Kailun covered the illusion’s mouth and made a silencing gesture.
Under the illusion’s confused gaze, he lifted her skirt.
Illusion: “!!!”
Her bottom line exposed, the illusion panicked. She saw a predatory glint in Kailun’s eyes, like he wanted to devour a little white rabbit.
She struggled, instinctively wanting to resist, but her meager strength was no match for Kailun.
The illusion could only watch helplessly as Kailun teased and probed, his movements smooth and practiced, as if he had rehearsed countless times.
Tears welled up in the illusion’s eyes. The last time she had felt such pain was when Kailun had taken the wrong path.
This time, although the path was right, it caused her immense pain.
For a moment, Vivian felt like she was about to explode.
This bad guy wouldn’t even let go of someone who was about to disappear. He was truly evil.
[Vivian (Illusion)’s Goodwill +1, Total Goodwill 93]
The illusion looked at Kailun with resentment. Her mouth covered, she could only whimper softly.
After the initial storm came a gentle rain, and she gradually adapted to the rhythm.
The coldness in her eyes was replaced by warmth, and her gaze was filled with attachment.
She didn’t want to leave Kailun, but she had no choice.
Because of Kailun’s “polishing,” she had even less time left. After just half an hour, she felt herself on the verge of dissipating.
So be it. To be able to complete a ritual she couldn’t in her past life at the end of her existence was a life without regrets for the illusion.
She closed her eyes, waiting for her demise.
However, a tidal wave arrived first, almost overflowing the dam. It surged into her heart, drowning everything.
Under the scorching impact, her soul was pushed to the brink of shattering.
“Snap!”
It seemed that Kailun had snapped his fingers. Her lower abdomen felt warm, and the magic circle drawn with his blood took effect.
Something was sacrificed, and she gained more time.
[Time Remaining: 48 hours]
Gaining 48 hours at once was not bad, but it wasn’t safe enough. So the kind-hearted Kailun decided to give the illusion more time.
Soon, the time stored for the illusion reached 120 hours.
[The Illusion’s affection for you has overflowed. Goodwill +5, Total Goodwill 98]
……
Three hours later, with plenty of time in store, the illusion walked towards the underground prison, supporting herself against the wall.
It was too scary.
Did she know how much damage Kailun’s sacrifice had caused her tiny body?
Vivian walked down the corridor with her feet splayed outward. After this ordeal, her body had become more solid. She could now freely switch between a physical and illusory form.
To avoid further trauma, she decided to hide back in Vivian’s soul.
After all, she had already delivered the wooden puppet. She would leave the rest to the current Vivian.
“Hiss~”
Perhaps she had taken a slightly larger step, because the illusion gasped in pain.
She lifted her clothes and saw a magic circle on her lower abdomen. No matter how hard she tried to wipe it off with water, it wouldn’t disappear.
Kailun had said that this was sacrificial magic, specifically used to sacrifice things similar to fate. If she hadn’t experienced it herself, she would have believed his lies.
Seriously, even the stupid Shirley wouldn’t believe such nonsense.
Pulling down her clothes, the illusion quickened her pace towards the underground prison. If she encountered Carol on the way, she would most likely be discovered.
Fortunately, she was lucky today. She didn’t encounter Carol on either leg of the journey.
After safely arriving at the underground prison, she returned to Vivian’s soul.
“Ha~”
The illusion’s return woke up the sleepy Vivian. She tossed the magic book covering her head aside and stretched.
“Strange, why does my stomach feel so full, like it’s about to burst?”
Vivian rubbed her head in confusion. Her stomach did seem a bit bloated.
Unbuttoning her pajamas, she discovered a magic circle on her lower abdomen.
Vivian: “???”
When did this happen?
Why didn’t she know?
Was it Kailun’s prank?
Vivian immediately thought of Kailun because only he would pull such a prank.
She had seen Anna’s stomach before. There was a pink magic pattern on her lower abdomen.
Calling it a magic pattern wasn’t quite accurate. Strictly speaking, it was a slave mark.
So had he branded her as a slave?
Vivian guessed resentfully.
……
“Stop pretending to be asleep. If you keep pretending, I’ll have to throw you out of the room.”
After sending the illusion away, Kailun slapped Phils’s perky bottom.
She sat up excitedly. “You knew I was awake! So everything just now was your way of teasing me?”
Kailun: “…Think whatever you want.”
He didn’t want to explain anymore. Since Phils was happy with this interpretation, he would let her be.
“So, will you bully me like you bully Vivian? Can you be a little rougher with me?”
Phils leaned closer to Kailun and clasped her hands together. “I won’t mind how you play with me. You can do whatever you want.”
Her hair, styled in a side ponytail, fell beside her. Under the moonlight, her beautiful body was fully revealed to Kailun.
Kailun stroked her head and chuckled. “Really? Anything?”
“Really!” Phils’s eyes sparkled.
Kailun: “Alright, then put on your clothes and go back to your room to rest. I want to sleep. I think I can sleep for another ten hours.”
“Eh!” Phils was stunned. She grabbed Kailun’s shoulders and shook him. “How can you be like this? Did I do something wrong that you dislike? It’s all my fault. I know I was wrong. I’ll stay away from you next time and won’t disturb you.”
Phils squeezed out a few tears, expressing her emotions pitifully.
Kailun helplessly flicked her forehead. “Change your approach. ‘Tea’ doesn’t suit you. ‘Pervert’ is your true color.”
“Ehehe! I knew you wouldn’t hate me~”
Phils, instead of retreating, leaned closer and snuggled into Kailun’s arms, rubbing her chest against him.
He couldn’t be too harsh after she had acted so well. So, the kind-hearted Kailun leaned against the headboard and asked, “Tell me, did anything major happen in the Xiya Kingdom while I was away?”
Phils, nestled against Kailun’s chest, pouted. “Is this really the time to talk about serious matters?”
“I’ll elevate your family to the dukedom later.” Kailun pinched Phils’s adorable cheek.
“Understood, I’ll report to you immediately!”
Rewarded, Phils immediately straightened her attitude. If it weren’t for her current indecent posture, this would look like a proper work report.
For Phils, she pursued both power and emotional fulfillment, and the person who could provide her with both was Kailun.
She couldn’t live without him anymore. Without him, she felt like life had no meaning.
His acknowledgment of her status was an acknowledgment of her efforts during his absence. This was what Phils wanted to see. She wanted to know that Kailun valued her.
However, compared to the dukedom, the position she desired most now was that of a princess.
To achieve her goal, while giving her report, Phils moved towards Kailun’s waist, intending to force him into submission with her ample bosom.
