"The heavens are watching what people do. Those who commit many injustices will surely perish. I believe your end will be miserable." Ji Shengyao felt a sense of humiliation take deep root in her heart. Her chest heaved, and her cheeks flushed even redder.
She gripped her collar tightly with both hands, trying to use her meager strength to stop the demoness's atrocities. Yet she also understood that given the gap between their Realms, if the demoness truly wanted to tear her clothes off in public, she would be powerless to stop it.
Given the Hehuan Demoness's lecherous and cruel nature, they were capable of anything. She couldn't expect a sudden spark of conscience; these demonesses were best at humiliating and playing with others like a cat with a mouse.
She wants to tear my clothes off in public and watch me break down, wishing I could kill myself on the spot, just to satisfy her perverted pleasure.
Thinking of this, she gripped tighter, the blue veins visible on her fair hands. She fell into deep thought; if she truly barked like a dog before her without any dignity, how would that be any different from admitting to being her dog!
Once I kneel, I will never be able to stand up before her again. I can be bullied by her, but I must never abandon my dignity as a Saintess.
"Lady Saintess, have you considered it? I'll only give you three seconds..."
The demoness's loathsome words reached her ears again, but the demoness's charming voice strangely made her feel at ease: "I don't believe in heaven, and I don't believe in fate. As long as I am strong enough, even the Heavenly Dao won't dare to punish me. I alone decide my end; there's no need for the Saintess to worry about it."
Wang Li had already decided her own end. She would become the female lead's Heart Demon. When they swung their swords at her, they would achieve a breakthrough through destruction, reaching the moment where the carp leaps over the Dragon Gate.
And she herself would turn into yellow dust, retiring after her success. By then, everyone in this world would forget her existence and everything they had experienced with her.
Her vermillion lips parted slightly as she softly uttered a word: "One."
Ji Shengyao knew the demoness wouldn't let her innocence go no matter what. She knew the bizarre thoughts of those Elders in the Sect all too well.
The Old Ancestor and Master who cared about her were in seclusion. The Sect Master and the other Elders were usually at odds with her Master. They would surely think that family scandals should not be made public, so they definitely wouldn't search for her with great fanfare. Nor would they let the Grand Elders, who had long withdrawn from conflicts and only acted during a Sect-extermination crisis, use their Divine Sense to investigate. Because once the Divine Sense was activated, all the surrounding Holy Lands, including hostile ones, would likely notice...
The chance of me remaining chaste in the demoness's hands is slim. Why don't I take the opportunity of being humiliated to let the other Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters of the Sect escape?
"Two!"
Hearing the demoness count the second number, Ji Shengyao made a major decision and ordered Jiang Mei in her capacity as the Saintess: "Senior Sister Jiang, open a barrier for me and cut off all sound and sight!"
Jiang Mei was not only Ji Shengyao's Senior Sister but also responsible for her daily life until she grew up. She understood the Saintess's thoughts. At this point, she could only grit her teeth: "Yes, Saintess!"
"No! I... I don't agree!" Blood still seeped from the corner of Lin Fan's mouth. He gripped a handful of snow tightly, the chill of the melting snow clearing his mind.
An old and even weaker voice came from the ring: "Disciple, you used to be idle and always thought you would dominate the world with your talent. Now you understand, don't you? If you are weak, you can only be stepped on. Even the woman you love can only become someone else's Cauldron. Cultivation requires fearless courage and perseverance. Even if you hit a southern wall, you must break through it with your head to open a path, because cultivation is like a moth to a flame."
"Master, I understand now. This humiliation will become the motivation on my path of cultivation. I will carry this hatred until I pierce this demoness's heart with my sword!"
Lin Fan glared like a venomous snake at the demoness's figure with flying red clothes and white hair: "Demoness, I hope you understand that thirty years on the east bank, thirty years on the west bank. Don't you dare..."
Before he could finish, he was crudely interrupted by the demoness: "How noisy."
After speaking, she flicked her hand toward the air. Ripples of spiritual power vibrated in the air. A crisp "slap" was heard, exceptionally loud. Five distinct blood-red finger marks appeared on Lin Fan's face five meters away, and his eyes went dark as he fainted instantly.
"Tongzi, how about I just send him to get his lunch box?"
[Boss, that's up to you. If he gets his lunch box, you'll lose a tool for farming System points. Better to keep him and beat him eight times a day. Anyway, I've calculated that it's hard for him to pose any threat to you.]
"I'm worried he'll do something desperate and target the female leads. If that happens, I'll have to inject a wisp of Divine Sense into their bodies."
[Don't worry, Boss. I can protect the female leads for you, ensuring that no one in the world but you can touch a single hair on their heads.]
Snapping back to reality, Wang Li found a golden light enveloping herself and the closely pressed Ji Shengyao. All sound and sight within the circle were cut off, making it impossible for anyone outside to know what was happening inside.
Originally, she only planned to count to three and pretend to release the female lead. What was the difference between humiliating the female lead in public and being a first-class moron? But she didn't expect the female lead to actually plan to... do that with her.
If I do nothing, my identity as a demoness will probably collapse like a row of falling dominoes.
"Demoness, no need to count. This is my choice. I know I cannot escape your clutches, but I will not yield to you. You can abuse my body because I lack the ability to resist you, but if you want my Soul to yield to you, I can promise you that you will never live to see that day."
Ji Shengyao looked up to meet Wang Li's gaze. She didn't want to admit defeat, so she stared firmly into the demoness's ruby-like eyes. But after a moment, she felt... deeply attracted.
These eyes were truly beautiful, making one sink into them without being able to pull away. Moreover, they were very clean, without a single trace of Impurities, hardly looking like the eyes a wicked demoness could possess.
With just one look, her heart throbbed uncontrollably. She felt that from head to toe, there was a charming aura about her.
Cultivators all have a sense of danger and a sense of good and evil. The stronger the strength, the stronger the sense. Two Cultivators with the same Dao often find it easier to feel close.
Although her cultivation was not high, she was born with an Immaculate Heart. This heart would feel disgust even when she was close to many of her Senior and Junior Sisters, yet it fluttered for this unrestrained demoness.
Only someone with truly profound Karma who was genuinely good to her would cause this. How could it be for this demoness... even her Master didn't give her such a strong feeling.
This absolutely won't do. I cannot let my heart yield to her after my body has.
"Saintess, I'm afraid you don't know yet, but I'm best at taming wild horses. No matter how strongly those wild fillies resist at first, under my methods, don't they all end up letting me ride them obediently?"
Seeing Ji Shengyao frantically avoiding her gaze, Wang Li unceremoniously pinched her chin, forcing her to meet her eyes.
With her chin held tightly in a hand that showed no tenderness, and hearing her boastful words, the red flush that had just faded from Ji Shengyao's face rose again: "Shameless! Pervert!"
(I've written this type of opening before, but the censorship for multi-female lead stories is very strict. To avoid being banned, I can only slow down the pace. Of course, there will be plenty of intimate moments, and the scale should be the maximum allowed by Fanqie, after all, there are many intimate plots.)
