Chapter 13: Showing Affection
Facing the Serpent Queen’s seductive advances, Yan Zhen said firmly, “I’m sorry, Commander Ye Mei, but I already have someone I love!”
Unfazed, she leaned closer, inhaling his scent, her expression growing more alluring. “You might have someone in your heart, but you don’t have anyone… in your bed~ I’m willing to be that person for you, Master Yan Zhen~”
— No, I have plenty of people in my bed. So many that I don’t know how to take responsibility for them all.
He remained unmoved, glancing at the wardrobe, then said calmly, “To be honest, I’ve already… been intimate with her. And I intend to marry her. Please, Commander Ye Mei, stop teasing me.”
A faint tremor came from inside the wardrobe. She almost gave herself away.
Ye Mei said, her voice laced with a feigned sadness, “I’m not teasing you. I truly admire you, Master Yan Zhen. I want to be your partner.”
“I already have a partner.”
“Just one? I don’t mind sharing. A talented young man like you deserves multiple partners~”
“Commander Ye Mei, please respect yourself!”
He tried to struggle, but her Ninth Star Mystic King strength held him firmly.
Tenacity was a serpent’s natural talent!
She chuckled, her lips close to his ear.
“How can I respect myself when I’m with someone I love? Just… give in to me, Master Yan Zhen~”
Whoosh!
In a flash, she had teleported them to the bed, straddling him, pinning his wrists above his head. She was taking the initiative.
He struggled again, then, finding it futile, stopped, closing his eyes, as if resigning himself to his fate.
She leaned down, kissing him.
First his forehead, then his cheeks, then finally, his lips.
Yun Xiu clearly saw her tongue, like a snake, trying to pry open his mouth, invading his territory.
Her heart pounded, a tightness in her chest, making it difficult to breathe.
— No… stop… don’t…
Ye Mei, oblivious to Yun Xiu’s inner turmoil, lost herself in the pleasure of dominating the handsome young man, her assault on his lips relentless.
Watching her sucking on his lower lip, Yun Xiu’s mind went blank. When she came to, she had already transformed into a gust of wind, bursting from the wardrobe, arriving beside the bed, her fingers striking two of Ye Mei’s acupoints, immobilizing her.
She had learned this technique from Jiu Youyue. Although she wasn’t as skilled, it was enough to keep Ye Mei paralyzed until morning.
Ye Mei’s body went limp, collapsing onto Yan Zhen.
Her eyes widened in shock, her gaze turning to Yun Xiu, standing beside the bed. She panicked.
“Miss Yun, you weren’t…”
“I wasn’t asleep.”
Ye Mei saw the open wardrobe, and she understood.
“You were hiding in the wardrobe?”
Yun Xiu’s face burned with shame and anger.
“What else could I do to protect my little brother from a seductress like you? A woman, forcing herself on a man… how shameless!”
Ye Mei was embarrassed, but she quickly recovered.
“So you’re the one he loves? You’re not really his sister!”
“It’s none of your business!”
Yun Xiu coldly pushed her aside, carefully helping Yan Zhen up.
“Yan Zhen, are you alright?”
He was secretly pleased that she had intervened, but also worried.
Since things had progressed this way, he had to execute Plan B!
He frowned, wiping his lips with the back of his hand, his nose twitching, his expression turning pitiful.
“I’m… unclean… I’ve been… defiled… I’m not worthy of you anymore…”
Ye Mei was stunned. It was just a kiss! I didn’t even use my tongue!
Yun Xiu, however, was heartbroken. She pulled him into her arms, his face buried in her ample bosom.
“It’s okay. I don’t mind. Don’t think too much about it.”
“But… but I…”
Hearing the tremor in his voice, her heart ached. She cupped his face, kissing him.
It was a deep, passionate kiss, filled with love and comfort.
He seemed to be moved by her affection, his expression calming as he responded to her kiss.
After a long moment, their lips parted, their gazes locked.
“I’ve… erased that wicked woman’s mark. You’re still you. Don’t say you’re not worthy of me.”
He looked deeply moved, his arms wrapping around her waist, his lips claiming hers in a passionate kiss.
With Ye Mei watching, Yun Xiu hesitated, then surrendered to his embrace, though she subtly restrained herself.
Another deep, passionate kiss, filled with love and comfort, even the bystander’s heart warming with envy.
Compared to this, Ye Mei’s forced kiss earlier seemed like a joke, devoid of both love and lust.
Because he hadn’t responded at all! She had been performing a one-woman show!
She suddenly felt like a clown, her pride wounded, her anger rising.
“Stop it! Stop showing off your affection in front of me!”
— Finally, she’s enraged.
He released Yun Xiu, licking her lips as he pulled away, making her blush, her beautiful face as red as the sunset sky, incredibly adorable.
“Commander Ye Mei, as you can see, I already have a partner. I can’t accept your feelings.”
She bit her lip, clearly unwilling to give up.
He sighed.
“Since things have escalated to this point, there’s no need for us to stay here any longer. Let’s part ways.”
He bowed, then got out of bed.
She panicked, as if losing something precious, regret filling her heart.
“Wait, Master Yan Zhen–”
He ignored her, taking Yun Xiu’s hand, and they left the room, leaving her lying on the bed, dejected.
…
The Water City was brightly lit at night. They walked hand in hand through the unfamiliar streets, his heart peaceful.
He had successfully completed the mission, receiving the Special Trump Card: Honey Trap as a reward. Upon activation, it would significantly enhance his charm, attracting the attention of older women.
— What’s the use of this? Seducing the Demonic Consort? Seriously?
He scoffed, storing it in his system inventory.
…
Without Ye Mei’s help, he had to find the Water Elemental Heart himself.
However, according to the script, even Ye Mei couldn’t obtain it.
After the Serpent Queen’s battle with the Crimson Sand Scorpion King, the Extreme Flame within her body was causing her immense pain, requiring a large quantity of Water Elemental Hearts to suppress her injuries.
Therefore, all Water Elemental Hearts appearing on the market had been purchased by the royal family.
To obtain one, he would have to infiltrate the palace.
