Wang Li brandished the chicken feather duster in her hand once more, striking Ji Shengyao's perky backside five or six times in quick succession before finally stopping.
"I'll give you fifty lashes this time. Next time, if you fail to distinguish the master-servant status between us again, it'll be five hundred! Unless you enjoy this, you'd better stay by my side obediently!"
With a casual wave, Wang Li tossed the chicken feather duster onto the floor. "However, I've noticed something. You aren't wearing handcuffs, so you could fully exert your Foundation Establishment level five cultivation. Why didn't you resist? Do you actually enjoy this sort of thing?"
"Get lost! You're the one who enjoys it! Only a demoness like you could be so shameless. Since you're not human, being shameless means nothing to you!"
Despite her words, Ji Shengyao felt a sense of confusion in her heart. She couldn't understand why she hadn't resisted and had instead obediently leaned against the screen to let Wang Li punish her.
Could it be that I'm actually being tamed bit by bit...
Absolutely not! It must be that my subconscious felt resistance was futile and would only lead to a harsher beating. This is just the approach of a smart person.
But I absolutely cannot wait any longer. I must find a way to escape as soon as possible!
"I saw with my own eyes how you had your eyes closed with an expression of enjoyment..."
"Demoness, just you wait. Being arrogant now doesn't mean you can be arrogant forever. Your miserable days are coming soon!"
Ji Shengyao glared fiercely at Wang Li. She felt some pain, along with numbness and swelling, but it wasn't bone-deep. It would likely recover within half an hour. It could be said that this demoness hadn't struck heavily.
The question in her mind wouldn't dissipate: If it was a punishment, why didn't she strike harder? Could it be that she truly couldn't bring herself to hit me?
"Still daring to clamor? I think you haven't been beaten enough!"
"You... dare..." Seeing Wang Li make a show of picking up the chicken feather duster, Ji Shengyao instantly lost her Aura. The pain was secondary; the main issue was that it was too humiliating. How could she, the dignified Saintess of a Holy Land, let someone slap her buttocks at will?
[Big Boss, congratulations! This beating has directly maxed out the villain points. The System has upgraded to the second stage.]
"What are the benefits?"
[First, the sword that couldn't be drawn can now be drawn normally. Additionally, you've been gifted a three-thousand-square-meter Storage Ring. The shop has updated with the Spell 'Stealing Heaven Technique' and the sword technique 'Flirty Eyes Sword'. You can study the specifics in the shop yourself.]
Wang Li entered the System shop. First, the "Stealing Heaven Technique" was a Spell for stealing the fruits of an enemy's labor; one could take something from another person's hand right in front of them without them noticing.
However, the opponent's strength and the rank of the stolen item had to be far lower than the user's level. Furthermore, items that had recognized a master or treasures inside an opponent's ring could not be stolen.
Even so, it was still Heaven-Defying, practically a BUG-like existence! With a light tap, Wang Li had the Complete Manual of the six-layered Stealing Heaven Technique Spell directly instilled into her mind.
The "Flirty Eyes Sword" was a Divine Rank sword technique. Even when used solo, its power was staggering. But if used by two people with incredible chemistry, it wasn't a case of one plus one equals two, but one plus one equals four!
That "Extreme Yin and Joyful Union Scripture" was not a mess like the "Joyful Union Art"; instead, it emphasized the mutual blending of body and Soul. The power of Dual Cultivation would only be greater if the two people shared feelings for each other.
This way, with the Cultivation Technique and sword technique combined, her new Sect could finally start to take shape!
That evening, Wang Li held Ji Shengyao tightly. Her hands began to misbehave again, but this time, after a few gentle caresses, she began kissing downward from between Ji Shengyao's brows.
"Bastard~!"
Ji Shengyao's face turned beet red. Unable to endure it, she tried to jump off the bed to escape, but her waist was sore, her legs were weak, and she was wearing handcuffs. As a result, the moment her feet touched the ground, she went limp and knelt on the floor.
Wang Li pulled her back up, and her red lips fell again like raindrops. Ji Shengyao's feet kicked wildly: "Don't~!"
Late at night, Wang Li felt that the Black Sha Realm would be in turmoil again. Almost all of her power remained in that world, to the point that her self in this world would be affected. Although she had to seal most of her Divine Sense, it would automatically unseal if she encountered danger.
To be safe, she took out the handcuffs and shackles again and handed them to Ji Shengyao. "If you don't want to go kneel in the cage, put on the handcuffs and shackles!"
"You've already made me sign a Slave Contract. What use are these handcuffs and shackles? Is there really a need to wear them?" Before crawling into the covers, Ji Shengyao straightened up and reluctantly put on the fetters.
As expected, late that night, the Black Sha creatures of the Black Sha Realm launched a collective assault on the power phantom Wang Li had left behind.
The Black Sha Realm was pitch black, with both time and space being distorted.
A translucent giant clad in golden armor blotted out the sky, its entire body radiating golden light. Beneath its feet, dense and endless black shadows attacked frantically, tireless and unafraid of death.
The golden armor was the Incarnation of power Wang Li had left there. Without a mind or a physical body, it could only follow the attack patterns Wang Li had set, repeatedly raising a giant sword and smashing it down toward the ankle-high black shadows below.
Continuous "bang bang bang" sounds rang out as heaven and earth shook violently. The height of the golden light's radiation was comparable to the Heaven-Reaching Peak, directly annihilating all the Black Sha within a hundred miles.
The Black Sha army was boundless. The power Incarnation struck tirelessly until finally, the frequency of its attacks slowed, and the giant sword in its hand grew heavier. Only then did the Black Sha army quietly retreat.
This was the tedious life Wang Li had led for untold years in the Black Sha Realm. Now that the Black Sha's intense assault had receded, the Wang Li in reality had also become somewhat weak due to the consumption of spiritual energy.
She didn't even wake up when the sun was high in the sky. Ji Shengyao looked at the sleeping Wang Li before her, who looked like a sleeping beauty waiting for a kiss.
Long eyelashes, an exquisite face, rosy lips, and skin so fair it seemed to glow with a faint light. Watching quietly, Ji Shengyao unconsciously became somewhat entranced.
However, seeing Wang Li's slightly furrowed willow-leaf brows, she called out softly a few times, "Demoness! Are you having a nightmare?"
But Wang Li remained completely unaware, still sleeping deeply. She reached out her handcuffed hand and pushed Wang Li's shoulder a few times with some force; the other woman swayed but remained in a deep sleep.
She remembered that day when she had also been put in handcuffs, shackles, and a blindfold. That is to say, at this time, she seemed to have fallen into some kind of illusion. This had happened two nights out of three. As long as I figure out the pattern, I can determine the best time for my escape!
Thinking of the humiliation she had suffered last night, malice grew in her heart. She gently curled a lock of Wang Li's white hair, pressing the strands against Wang Li's forehead and lightly stroking down to her cheek.
Wang Li still didn't wake up, but her body trembled slightly. When the hair slid to her neck, Wang Li softly hummed, "Don't... it tickles..."
"Ah? You're awake? I was just..."
Before she could finish, she saw that Wang Li still hadn't opened her eyes. Thinking of her own flustered appearance just now, she grew angry. She raised her palm high and indignantly delivered a hard slap to Wang Li's perky backside. A sharp "smack" rang out.
Her heart felt much more balanced instantly. She gritted her teeth while looking at the demoness's beautiful face close at hand. Because of that slap, the brows furrowed even deeper: "It hurts~!"
"Hmph! That's for bullying me! That's for hitting me! Do you feel good now!"
She reached out and took the chicken feather duster that had been used to punish her last night from the bedside. Looking at Wang Li's reddening face: "As expected, even while asleep, this demoness is so shameless!"
Imitating Wang Li, she raised it and brought it down heavily, striking Wang Li's perky rear twice with a "smack smack." Seeing Wang Li's small face wrinkle slightly from the pain, she instantly felt much better. She even felt that the gloom hanging over her for the four days since being kidnapped had dissipated quite a bit.
