Ch.31 Embracing her feelings

Ritual (continued)

Dongyue knew from what he had read that within minutes he would temporarily relinquish control over his own body, submitting to the call of desire. He had no idea what that meant, but possibly that was what Xiyu was going through at the moment. He looked at her, and his chest throbbed with pain. It had to be the effects of the ritual, he told himself.

The dark nature of the ritual was calling out to Xiyu. Due to her magic, she was already responding to the call of nature atrociously. He watched concernedly how her petite figure trembled in anguish. She moaned crazily, tearing off her clothes from the heat that spread through her body like wildfire. A rock in his heart made him feel unsettled to see her in a disorderly manner.

He had been kept from women all his life and knew nought of the ‘acts between men and women’, as mentioned briefly in the almanac. He fumbled to remove his robes and fell to the ground beside her, staring at her intensely in confusion.
