"Li Xie, snap out of it!"
The Divine Tree of Union within Yuan Shu's body was intrinsically linked to her soul. Although her reaction was slightly slower than Li Xie's, it was far more fierce and intense!
In just a moment, upon sensing the pure Yang energy within Li Xie's body, the Divine Tree trembled even more violently.
Its faint blue light grew increasingly dazzling.
An overwhelming desire for dual cultivation crashed against Yuan Shu's soul, pleading with her over and over again.
Yuan Shu had to suppress the physical changes in her body and the throbbing of her soul, all while trying to soothe the Divine Tree.
To make matters worse, Li Xie, who was right behind her, seemed to be affected by the enchanting fragrance the Divine Tree emitted through her. His breathing grew heavy.
"Yuan Shu, I feel so uncomfortable."
His deep, magnetic, and inexplicably pained voice rang right by Yuan Shu's ear.
His lips gently brushed against the rim of her ear, as if doing so brought him some relief.
Yuan Shu dodged to the side, trying her best to keep her voice calm. "Let go of me first. You'll feel better once you let go!"
Even through her clothes, Yuan Shu was teased to the point of torment, but she refused to be manipulated in such a daze.
As long as Li Xie was willing to let her go, they could talk about anything!
Yuan Shu's voice was soft and delicate. Hearing it, Li Xie loosened his grip slightly, seemingly ready to obey and let her go.
"Li Xie, hurry, let go of me first."
She continued to coax him, gripping his arms and slowly pulling them apart.
Just as she was about to pry his hands away, Li Xie suddenly seemed to snap back to reality, pulling Yuan Shu tightly into his embrace once again.
He chuckled softly, a hint of mockery in his tone. "Yuan Shu, at a time like this, you're still lying to me? If I let you go, I'll suffer even more!"
"Do you really think I'm some clueless child? Yuan Shu, do you know what this half of my bloodline is?"
He gently blew a breath of air against the shell of her ear.
The warm breath brushed against her ear, bringing a wave of inexplicable flutters.
Yuan Shu was already struggling to hold back. Swept by his breath, her body almost went entirely limp.
Her eyes trembled slightly, and her pleasant voice took on a husky edge. "An incubus."
She had her suspicions before, but what truly confirmed it was his resonance with the Divine Tree of Union.
Only a bloodline of the same origin, craving dual cultivation, could trigger such a powerful resonance!
And among the demon bloodlines, the only one capable of such an effect was the incubus, a race that served demons with their allure!
A race inherently dependent on dual cultivation, addicted to lust!
"You actually know?" Li Xie was quite surprised, a glint of bloodthirsty amusement flashing through his purple eyes.
His mother was a succubus, the lowest and most despised of the demon races, serving and seducing other demons with her beauty!
They were the basest race in the demon realm, subjected to endless disdain and disgust.
His father, the Demon King, had only favored his mother and conceived him because she had used her succubus powers!
Therefore, his father disliked him.
Even though he was the firstborn child, growing up in the Demon King's palace, he was the most unwelcome master.
When he was young, even the palace servants would physically punish and humiliate him.
So, he tried his hardest to hide this half of his bloodline, striving to achieve something, wanting people to see his true strength.
Wanting to prove himself!
In recent years, very few people dared to question his bloodline anymore.
Because he was bloodthirsty and ruthless, more like a true demon than even his father!
Demon noble families who were disloyal to him or caught making mistakes were slaughtered to the last member!
Those who defied him were thrown into snake pits, dying without an intact corpse!
His hands were stained with blood, so those people grew terrified and no longer dared to speak.
This was the first time he had fully experienced the power of the incubus!
He didn't know what that power inside Yuan Shu resonating with his bloodline was, but he could feel that it shared the same origin as him!
At this moment, both yearned to possess the other!
Although Li Xie didn't like women, he knew exactly what men and women could and should do together.
"Yuan Shu, you want me very much."
He leaned close to Yuan Shu's ear, blowing softly, his deep and melodious voice drifting into her ear canal.
"Why don't you be with me? That way, we'll both be happy."
His lips trailed slowly down the curve of her ear and nibbled on her neck.
He left teeth marks on her tender, fair skin, grinding gently.
Yuan Shu sensed his surrender, her gaze shifting slightly.
"An incubus's first time is very important, isn't it? Once you give it away, you will never be able to touch anyone else again. Li Xie, are you sure?"
Li Xie might have harbored some other thoughts about her, but he certainly hadn't planned on binding his incubus body to her before this.
Because the incubus was unique. Once bound to someone through their first dual cultivation, they would develop a physiological disgust toward any other member of the opposite sex, without exception!
That was why Li Xie's mother had loved the Demon King so humbly until her death, because he was her first man!
When Yuan Shu asked this question, she clearly felt the person behind her stiffen.
She turned her head to look at Li Xie. Having awakened his incubus constitution, his entire being exuded a lazy, enchanting allure.
Paired with that breathtakingly beautiful face, it was hard not to feel moved!
Especially for Yuan Shu, who already had a covetous heart for beautiful, pure men!
However, before proceeding, Yuan Shu still had to add one more thing.
"Don't lock yourself in a cage out of a moment's impulse. If you endure this, you might still have a chance to lock it back up."
"Didn't you succeed in doing so once before?"
Li Xie's eyes trembled. Before? Succeeded?
His memories drifted back to the past. During the first awakening of his incubus constitution, he had hidden alone in the back mountains of the demon realm, enduring the agony of ten thousand bugs devouring his heart.
For a whole night, he scratched his skin bloody, lost his sanity, and wished for death!
If the price of staying calm was to endure that kind of torture all over again by himself, then... was it even necessary?
If he bound himself to someone, he wouldn't have to suffer that pain. He just wouldn't be able to touch other women in the future.
He didn't like women to begin with.
Right now, the only one who caught his eye was Yuan Shu, right in front of him.
This so-called punishment meant nothing to him!
Most importantly, he was in agony right now.
His first incubus awakening was never satisfied. Now, with this second awakening, the pain he would suffer would be twice as bad as before!
He didn't want to endure that kind of pain a second time.
Li Xie leaned close to Yuan Shu's face, his beautiful purple eyes staring fixedly at her.
"What if I say I am sure?"
Yuan Shu's eyes flickered. Meeting Li Xie's unblinking gaze, she reached out and gently stroked his face.
On his handsome, flawlessly pale face was a pair of purple eyes as magnificent as jewels.
She had to admit, his current self and his demon form gave off two completely different vibes.
One was domineering and cold-blooded, the other was soul-stealing and enchanting!
This face, these eyes, they were absolute perfection!
Yuan Shu's hand gripped his chin, suddenly pulling him forcefully to her lips.
"Since you've decided, then let's do it. From now on, I will be the only one who gets to see you looking this seductive!"
With that, Yuan Shu tilted her head up and kissed those red lips that were just inches away!
