Wang Li paid no mind; instead, she deliberately smoothed her silky white hair, tucking it behind her ear to reveal her exquisite, enchanting face and crystalline earlobe.
She deliberately winked her peach-blossom eyes at the Saintess: 'It's fine if you don't want to touch. I just wonder if you've ever thought about giving it a kiss?'
With her innate seductive bone structure and captivating eyes, Wang Li's natural charm dealt multiple critical hits to women. Now, intentionally making such alluring, enticing gestures caused Ji Shengyao's recently calmed heartbeat to skyrocket once more.
Only after encountering such a rare beauty did Ji Shengyao gain a new understanding of the Hehuan Demoness.
The previous Hehuan Demonesses were utterly inferior in both appearance and seductive aura, relying solely on their cultivated charm techniques. Once the Cultivators they tried to seduce proved strong-willed or highly skilled, they were no different from ordinary women.
But this Hehuan Demoness was not only breathtakingly beautiful; her every move exuded a captivating charm. Her entire being possessed a unique allure that boiled one's desires. She hadn't used any Cultivation Technique, yet any Cultivator, no matter how steadfast, would gradually succumb over time.
After speaking, Wang Li actually shifted her snow-white foot gently inward on the bed, bringing it close to Ji Shengyao's lips: 'Beautiful? Do you like it?'
'Pah!'
Ji Shengyao spat lightly, a few droplets landing on the instep of Wang Li's small foot, making it look even more delectable and utterly tempting.
Cultivators, who consume only spiritual foods and not the five grains, have bodies free of Impurities.
Even this demoness's feet were exceptionally fair, crystalline, tender, and seemingly boneless. At such close range, a faint, rich fragrance could be detected, deeply tempting her appetite.
She took a deep breath and glared at Wang Li: 'I think you're filthy. A woman like you, no matter how flawless her skin, is dirty inside. Who knows how many female Cultivators have touched these legs of yours.'
After saying this, a sudden question occurred to her: 'Demoness, what happened to your previous Cauldrons?'
'Those who were obedient and sensible, I released them after draining them dry. They're probably still Prodigies within their Sects now. As for those rebellious ones who tried to kill me... well, let's just say I wasn't so forgiving. I drained them to death.'
'Drained to death? How do you drain...' Ji Shengyao instinctively glanced down at the demoness's flat abdomen, but blushed crimson the moment she finished asking.
How could I, the Saintess of a Righteous Path Sect, ask such a preposterous question? 'One takes on the color of one's company'—I've been corrupted by this seductive demoness who tempts people all day!
Wang Li had no idea how the Hehuan Sect's techniques actually worked, so she simply fabricated an explanation on the spot: 'You know about magnets, right? I just start by removing the Cauldron's clothes...'
Truly a wanton Hehuan Demoness, brazenly discussing such private matters without regard for propriety! Blushing with shame and anger, she loudly interrupted: 'Enough! I don't want to hear it! Listening to your coquettish, licentious talk every day, I'm afraid one day I'll snap my Meridians and perish, my Dao extinguished!'
Just then, the world outside the window suddenly blazed with light. Torches and lanterns illuminated the entire village as bright as day, with a large crowd gathering at the mountain-side village entrance.
The clear sounds of swords being drawn could be heard, along with a loud shout from the crowd: 'It's coming! Protect the villagers!'
Wang Li knew this was the scene in the game's first chapter where the minor boss appears. In the game, after Lin Fan eliminated the Hehuan Sect remnants, he reluctantly parted ways with the female Disciples of the Tianchi Holy Land. Leading the Zhen Sect team down the mountain, they encountered the Vicious Beast attacking the village.
The male lead was at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, while the female lead was only at the first level. As the Saintess and future Sect Master, born with a Saintly physique and the aptitude of a Saint, her Foundation Establishment phase needed to be exceptionally solid.
Truly nurturing the female lead wasn't just about increasing her cultivation level; it was also about honing her combat skills. So, Wang Li unlocked the female lead's handcuffs and shackles: 'Don't be surprised. It's like how penned pigs have overly fatty meat, while exercised pigs have tastier meat. It's the same with Cauldrons. Only trained Cauldrons have purer spiritual power. These ordinary Vicious Beasts shouldn't be a problem for the great Saintess, right?'
'You... you're the pig!'
Leaning against a stone pillar in the backyard pavilion, Wang Li tossed the handcuffs and shackles onto the table with a clatter: 'Remember, after the fight, come back here and put all these on yourself.'
Seeing Ji Shengyao bow her head in silence, she pretended to pick up the handcuffs and shackles to put them back on Ji Shengyao:'Since you don't appreciate this opportunity, forget it.'
'No... I appreciate it, I do. I'll definitely come back and put them on myself.' Ji Shengyao lowered her head, her voice trembling inexplicably.
This demoness was probably at the Half-Step Golden Core stage. She herself possessed countless Talismans and Medicinal Pills. At worst, she could take a few pills that forcibly increased spiritual power, then use a large number of Divine Movement Talismans to swiftly ride her sword away. By the time the demoness noticed, she'd already be hundreds of miles away.
Then she could find her Master for revenge. With her Master's Soul Transformation cultivation, dealing with this demoness would be as easy as crushing an ant. She'd capture her and torment her day and night.
Wang Li took a whip from the free System shop. This whip was the opposite of the Flogging Deity Whip; it greatly reduced the pain inflicted, making it essentially a toy.
But she still put on a fierce act: 'If you dare run away and I catch you, you'll get five hundred lashes, not one less. I'll put you in spiritual-power-suppressing handcuffs and whip you in front of the whole village. Understand?!'
Ji Shengyao clenched her pearly teeth tightly. At this moment, she kept her eyes downcast and submissive: 'I... I understand.'
'The sky is vast for birds to fly; the sea is wide for fish to leap.' Even if you cage me, I will never abandon my longing for the blue sky. Even if I lose my feet, I will never choose to lose my wings.
Demoness, I never imagined you could be so arrogant, daring to let your caged bird roam free. No wonder your golden canary would want to leave you.
Thinking of the punishment for being caught escaping sent shivers through her. If she were really Sealed, bound, and whipped in the village, not only would she lose all face, but her skin would split and flesh tear, likely making her wail like a child. She'd become the laughingstock of these ordinary people.
Ji Shengyao took a deep breath. Holding the Azure Lotus Divine Sword, her cultivation restored, she drifted down in her flowing white robes like a celestial Fairy descending before the struggling low-level Cultivators.
The Cultivators from last night were either dead or injured, and they dared not easily reveal the news of the Saintess's abduction. So, when these newly arrived low-level Cultivators saw the Tianchi Saintess's holy, peerless beauty and ethereal form, they were overjoyed.
'Wretched beasts! How dare you harm commoners?'
Her expression solemn, she unleashed all the resentment from being defiled by foul words, training, and physical violation upon these low-level Vicious Beasts.
Even without activation, the Azure Lotus Divine Sword was a top-tier treasure. Ji Shengyao gathered Qi along the blade. The mysterious runes engraved on it instantly shone with golden light.
With a swing of her sword, a blinding golden crescent materialized, churning up a large swath of snow as it shot toward the Vicious Beast horde. Cries and whimpers erupted, blood spurted, and severed beast limbs littered the ground.
Seeing the crisis gradually abate and witnessing the Saintess, with her black hair and white robes, drifting gracefully in the wind and snow like a goddess descended, the Disciples from the affiliated Sects couldn't help but praise loudly: 'Truly worthy of the renowned Tianchi Saintess! They say she's only in her early twenties now.'
What they didn't know was that in a dark corner, Wang Li stood holding handcuffs in one hand and a whip in the other, waiting for her little golden canary to make her choice.
Wang Li actually hoped Ji Shengyao would choose to flee later. That would give her ample reason to whip her soundly with this 'toy' whip. Though, this whip does look like the same model from an adult shop... Never mind, as long as it can whip someone, it's a good whip!
