"Mmh."
Li Xie heard his own uncontrollable low groan.
He had never been intimate with a woman before.
So, the moment Yuan Shu took the initiative to kiss him, his heart trembled, and a sound instinctively escaped his lips.
The incubus bloodline within his body seemed to receive some sort of encouragement, beginning to roar madly and bringing waves of unfamiliar, scorching heat.
He had heard many people in the demon race say that dual cultivation was a very pleasurable thing.
He didn't believe it before, but now... he was starting to.
Yuan Shu proactively pried open his lips and teeth. At a loss for what to do, he could only let her push the door open.
A breath tinged with the scent of pear blossoms flooded his mouth and nose, an entirely magnified version of the scent on Yuan Shu's body.
Li Xie's Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably as he instinctively drew in every thread of that moving pear blossom fragrance.
He could hear the frantic beating of his own heart.
A hand stroked his chest and, before he could even react, slipped smoothly inside his robes.
A novel sensation transmitted over.
Li Xie's eyes widened slightly, his body instinctively tensing, and his hands couldn't help but wrap around Yuan Shu's waist.
Yuan Shu released his lips and, unsurprisingly, heard his low groan once again.
A deep blush dyed Li Xie's fair face. His entire body felt as if it were on fire, and he could only lower his head again to seek out Yuan Shu's lips.
He wanted to rely on this intimate touch to alleviate a fraction of the unbearable heat.
Li Xie's physique was somewhat different from Zhai Shuo's. The bulging muscles previously seen beneath his sleeves didn't look quite as exaggerated now.
But it was absolutely the most optimal existence in terms of both feel and appearance!
Yuan Shu stripped off his outer robe and reached out to gently caress him.
The lines of his arms were beautiful and smooth, and the muscle definition on his chest and back was distinct. Complemented by his broad, solid chest and abdominal muscles, he exuded an absolute sense of security and power.
His already tall stature, when encircling Yuan Shu in his arms, made the contrast even more apparent.
And soon, Li Xie learned by analogy, applying the very same techniques Yuan Shu had just used on him back onto her.
At the exact moment the Divine Acacia Tree and the incubus physique let out a soft hum simultaneously, it seemed as if their very souls began to resonate.
A lustrous white pear blossom petal surfaced over the incubus crest on Li Xie's chest.
Only now did Li Xie understand why those people in the demon race were so passionate about this sort of thing, enjoying it tirelessly.
He held Yuan Shu tightly, looking at her flushed little face, wishing he could give her all the love filling his heart.
Within the dark blue minor world, ambiguous sounds echoed.
...
Yuan Shu's lips had been sealed by Li Xie an unknown number of times.
Kisses that went from shallow to deep, kissing until their bodies were burning hot, kissing until they were utterly inseparable.
The incubus physique enjoyed this process much more than an ordinary person, and craved it much more as well.
Naturally, the pleasure it brought was also beyond what an ordinary person could compare to.
Otherwise, the Demon King wouldn't have fallen so hard for Li Xie's mother back then, resulting in his birth!
And now, Yuan Shu had felt it too.
It was different, truly different!
It had always been the Divine Acacia Tree stimulating the other party, making them spare no effort.
Now, there was actually a day where she was the one being stimulated by the incubus physique!
In this moment, the two of them even forgot about the demon race members waiting outside Qingxuan Hall.
...
After time and time again of intimacy, the feelings that were previously hard to speak of had now materialized into something substantial.
Li Xie's purple eyes, as they looked at Yuan Shu, were filled with a deep, intense infatuation.
He tenderly and gently kissed the side of Yuan Shu's face, while the hand caressing her waist began to misbehave once more.
Yuan Shu shifted uncomfortably, only to have him lower his head and capture her lips once again.
...
An unknown amount of time passed before Yuan Shu suddenly opened her eyes.
She turned her head to look at Li Xie, who was sleeping quietly beside her. Reaching out, she gently pinched his chin, curled her lips into a smile, and planted a kiss on his lips.
He had the looks, the power, and the physique. She had to admit, she was very satisfied with the entire process!
However, she hadn't forgotten that right now, she and the demon race were still on opposing sides.
She couldn't leave the Luoxian Sect, and Li Xie naturally couldn't leave the demon race. Therefore, they were destined to be unable to stay together like other incubi and their masters.
In the heat of passion, Yuan Shu had drugged him.
At that time, Li Xie was completely defenseless and had willingly consumed the drug.
Now, he had become a sleeping beauty!
The Divine Acacia Tree within her body was beneficial to Li Xie's incubus physique, so his strength would likely see an improvement.
But was the Divine Acacia Tree the type to let itself suffer a loss?
Previously, its quality had upgraded from a Spirit Plant to a Profound Plant. Now, because of Li Xie's incubus physique, which shared the same origin, the Profound Plant had completely consolidated its state.
This harvest was not something that a mere rise in level could compensate for!
Once she successfully reached the Foundation Establishment realm, all of this would help increase her cultivation speed!
So, she had made a profit!
Although Yuan Shu felt a bit reluctant to leave this incubus who had just bound himself to her, after thinking it over, she ruthlessly broke free from his embrace and got up to dress.
Her strength was too weak. She still needed to work hard on her cultivation first. Only when her strength improved could she continue to fool around.
Because of the incubus binding contract, Yuan Shu wasn't afraid that Li Xie would do anything detrimental to her, so she could reluctantly consider him one of her own people.
"Since we're on the same side, taking a few of your things isn't going overboard, right?"
Yuan Shu smirked and reached for his spatial bag.
Due to the incubus contract, the restrictions on the spatial bag were practically useless against Yuan Shu, allowing her to open it with ease.
Yuan Shu casually rummaged through it, grabbing a few treasures before her gaze landed on the dark-element cultivation method and the Demon Spirit Tome that Li Xie had previously obtained from Qingxuan Hall.
After a moment of thought, she swiped the dark-element cultivation method and stuffed the Demon Spirit Tome back in for him.
A dark-element cultivation method was obviously only useful for someone with the dark element.
Li Xie's element was fire; he had no use for this thing.
"Just treat it as payment for the Divine Acacia Tree helping you improve your cultivation. That's not too much to ask, right?"
Yuan Shu reached out and patted his handsome face, stored the items into her Divine Tree space, and then silently left the minor world.
...
In a remote corner of the forest, Yuan Shu hid behind a rocky cliff, quietly waiting for night to fall.
These were the Demon Guard troops stationed near the small pool.
Because Li Xie was still in the secret realm, these Demon Guards had not retreated and were instead waiting here.
Not far away were her Second Senior Brother Zhai Shuo, Third Senior Brother Long Yunhui, and Su Lingxi, who were all still unconscious.
Zhai Shuo had taken medicine earlier, which managed to hang onto his life. His breathing was relatively steady, and although his body wasn't very clean, his condition looked acceptable.
In comparison, Su Lingxi was in a much more miserable state.
Her wrists had been slit to drain her blood, and the immortal power within her bloodline had been stripped away. Her once fair face was now deathly pale, and her lips had lost all color.
Because of the special care Yuan Shu and Li Xie had given her, after Su Lingxi's immortal power was stripped, she was taken down by the demon race members and kept under strict watch.
No one had fed her any medicine, much less changed or cleaned the filth on her body. Whenever they arrived at a location, she was casually tossed onto the ground.
At this moment, her pink and white long dress was covered in a mess of grime, and her long hair was tangled and unkempt, making her look completely disheveled.
She looked exactly like a beggar!
She probably never dreamed that she would end up like this, right?
