"I... I'll do it myself."
Akomann responded in a low voice, her eyes dodging Wu Liang's gaze.
Looking at the steaming bath, her breathing became rapid.
Wu Liang didn't rush her, just watching her quietly.
At this moment, Akomann no longer had the aura of the Bloodfang Tribe leader.
After shedding her hard shell of a disguise, she was completely a shy woman; being stared at by a man like a hungry wolf, she was equally nervous and bashful.
"No rush, we have plenty of time tonight."
Wu Liang smiled and took a step back, leaning against the doorframe.
He crossed his arms over his chest, adopting a posture of watching a good show.
Akomann's face turned even redder.
She bit her lower lip, turned her back, and began to clumsily undo the worn animal skin clothes she was wearing.
The animal skins fell to the ground, revealing her body full of power and wild beauty.
Years of fighting and hunting had made her figure tall and athletic, without a trace of excess fat.
Her skin was a healthy wheat color, and her legs were long and straight, filled with amazing explosive power.
She stepped carefully into the bath, the warm water instantly enveloping her body.
"Mmm..."
Akomann couldn't help but let out a soft hum of comfort.
She rubbed her body with soap, creating a fine lather and a fresh scent.
Akomann had already experienced the benefits of soap, but every time she used it, she still found it miraculous.
She felt every inch of her skin becoming smooth and clean.
Today, she washed exceptionally slowly and carefully.
But even if she vaguely wanted to stall for time, what was meant to come would always come.
When she stepped out of the bath...
Wu Liang's gaze roamed over her body without any concealment; Akomann wished she could bury her head in her chest.
"Come here."
Wu Liang commanded.
Akomann walked submissively to him.
Wu Liang had her sit on the stone steps by the pool, then picked up the pair of black stockings and personally knelt down.
"Lift your leg."
Akomann's body stiffened, but she still obediently lifted the long leg she was so proud of.
Wu Liang gently grabbed her ankle.
"Ah!"
Akomann exclaimed, like she'd been stung by a scorpion, suddenly wanting to pull her foot back.
In all her years, except for combat, no man had ever touched her like this!
"Don't move."
Wu Liang's hand was as powerful as iron pincers, firmly fixing her ankle so she couldn't break free.
His voice was low and powerful, carrying a command that brooked no resistance.
Akomann's body instantly froze.
She could feel the temperature of Wu Liang's fingers; through the rough animal skin, they were so hot they made her skin go numb.
She gave up struggling and let Wu Liang have his way.
Wu Liang supported her heel and stretched open the mouth of the stocking.
Starting from her toes, he carefully put the thin stocking over her toes bit by bit, then slowly pulled it up.
The silky fabric fit tightly against her calf, knee, and thigh... the silky, cool sensation traveled from her toes, instantly enveloping her skin.
And the inadvertent touch of Wu Liang's fingers made Akomann's body tense.
It was an unprecedented and strange feeling.
The stockings were tight yet soft.
Akomann couldn't help but lower her head to stare at her legs.
She saw that the black gauze was like a mysterious mist, shrouding her skin.
It concealed those small scars and coarse pores, yet outlined the firm and beautiful lines of her legs to perfection.
As the stockings were pulled higher bit by bit, past the ankle, wrapping the calf, and finally reaching the thigh.
Her long legs, honed by years of exercise and filled with explosive power, presented a stunning beauty of interwoven wildness and temptation under the wrap of the black stockings.
The black color perfectly outlined the firm and smooth lines of her legs, adding a layer of mysterious and seductive color to the already powerful and beautiful legs.
When both stockings were on, Wu Liang looked down at her from above, his gaze full of appreciation.
"Truly beautiful."
He praised sincerely.
Akomann looked down at her legs, her eyes full of novelty and shyness.
Was this... what he meant by even more beautiful?
It was indeed... very different.
"Akomann, do you like it?"
Wu Liang's voice made Akomann's heart skip a beat, and her cheeks instantly turned red, all the way to her ears.
"I... like it..."
She nodded gently.
Only then did she realize what kind of posture she was currently in.
She suddenly wanted to pull her legs back and hide them, but it was already too late.
Wu Liang's hand had already caressed her thigh.
Through that thin layer of silk, his palm was scalding hot, as if it were about to set her skin on fire.
"Now, it's time to fulfill the rest of your promise."
Wu Liang's voice became husky; he leaned down, his hot breath brushing against Akomann's ear.
"Become my woman."
Akomann trembled all over and closed her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering incessantly.
"Wait... I..."
Ake Man struggled to dodge, but Wu Liang naturally wouldn't give her another chance.
He approached step by step, while Akomann retreated step by step until her back was against the cold stone wall of the bathroom, with nowhere left to retreat.
Wu Liang reached out, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
"From today on, you are my, Wu Liang's, woman."
His voice was full of dominance, without a hint of emotion, yet it made Akomann's heart skip a beat.
Hot breath blew on her face, and Akomann closed her eyes nervously.
The moment the bloodlines of the two were truly connected, Akomann's whole body shook violently.
From now on, she, Akomann, was no longer the leader of the Bloodfang Tribe.
She was just Wu Liang's woman.
A wild horse that had been completely tamed, turning into a gentle lamb.

When a series of system prompts sounded in Wu Liang's mind...
A massive power, beyond imagination, instantly erupted from deep within his body!
Wu Liang felt his bones crackling.
The muscles on his body were also expanding at a rate visible to the naked eye, becoming tougher and filled with explosive power!

Wu Liang could clearly feel that his strength, speed, endurance, and mental power had all undergone an earth-shaking leap!
"Phew..."
Wu Liang exhaled.
Holding the now completely limp and water-like Akomann in his arms, he felt the surging power within him.
Finally, a satisfied smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
