The ‘Honey Trap’ Plan
A few minutes later, Bai Ling finally woke up. The pain had subsided after she'd balanced out her Qi.
She had subconsciously changed her breathing so that her Qi Pathways would seal the feeling of pain.
Her raised arms moved, but…
*Clank*
The ice queen realised she was tugging on the chains that were able to seal away her techniques.
In inscription on the cuffs cut off her ability to externalise Qi, making her just a weak woman.
Her eyes looked down on the man on the bed.
"Please don't-"
"Mmmnph!" She thrashed around helplessly.
"-do that…" Hyuk felt it was a good thing he put the gag on her mouth. He didn't want to be captured.
The ice queen immediately calmed down when she thought about her condition. It wasn't too good…
If he really wanted to kill her, now would be good.
Still, he spared her life…
Did he underestimate her?
The handsome pervert looked at her unabashedly.
Although he was kinda apologetic for the 'essence overfill' that made her stomach awkwardly inflate out, he wasn't the type to pretend to be a naive youth who couldn't see a good opportunity.
Now… was the best time for them to talk it out.
Seeing those eyes that looked at him calmly, he crawled over to her while avoiding to step on the skirt of her dress. He wasn't sure if she'd still feel pain or not if he disturbed her at this vital moment.
His hands reaching out to take off the gag…
"Untie me." Although she knew he'd resist doing what she ordered, she still spoke all the same.
It wasn't like he could escape if he killed her.
"Can you talk to me? It's not like you can continue off from before. I mean…" He glanced at the torn areas of clothes around her stomach. Though he knew this wasn't the real reason of her 'request'.
"Are you disobeying me?"
"Yes, I am. What are you planning now?"
"That's…"
"Guess you can't threaten me with death on my execution day, right~? Just give me a moment."
"…It better be important. Don't ask me to spare you, I won't disobey a direct order from master."
"And that's the thing." He lifted his finger and continued with a certain tone of confidence:
"Your master never told you to kill me."
"…What?"
"She told you to 'pluck' me, and you really did. It's not your fault I didn't die or become fully crippled."
"…" She couldn't retort to that. Honestly, it was a series of coincidences he was able to escape.
Her own fault for not checking his Qi beforehand.
"So… what do you say?"
"Fine. I'll let you go. Now let go of me." She spoke in an icy tone, but Hyuk didn't move an inch.
"…" He just looked at her with a bland look.
"What…?"
"You're lying."
"Ummm…" She was thrown off by how easily he caught on. Was her expression too obvious?
No, she was sure she hid any negative emotions.
"Not having negative emotions would be weird enough in this situation." He corrected her thought.
It was almost like he could read her mind.
"Then… what? Are you going to leave me like this and run? Oh, you can't." Her last words sarcastic.
"You're right." Hyuk nodded his head. The way he so easily admitted this gave her a bad feeling.
The way she looked at him darkened.
"Then what are you planning to do…? 'Playing' with me until I submit to you?" She put on a strong face.
However, she couldn't stop herself from trembling.
Though the handsome man knew the true reason why. She wasn't at all afraid of being 'broken'…
But he didn't call her out immediately.
"Boohoo… How sad~" He did a poor act of crying and acting pitiful, which threw her off-guard.
"Stop it." The act was too disgusting.
"You even forced me to give you a baby~" Her face became red and livid from such a vile comment.
"I.am.not.pregnant! Just give me time. I…" She tried to 'ingest' the Yang Energy, but felt 'full' instead.
Like trying to eat on a full stomach.
"You want some help?" He changed the subject.
However, what he brought up wasn't something she could discard. A little assistance WOULD help.
Though she knew nothing in this world was free.
"I'm not some poor bitch. Give your hypocritical kindness to someone else. I'm not interested."
"You say it like I'm one of those bandits seen everywhere these days. You have a poor heart."
"I don't."
"And your condition could be worse right now."
"…I'm fine."
"Are you?"
"You're the one who did this to me."
"You did this to yourself. I'm pretty sure you know what would happen if my essence is left inside you for too long. Do you really want to bear my child that bad?" His face got closer while scolding her.
She felt even more embarrassed…
Why did it seem like she was irrational here?
"Fine… Do what you want." Her heart couldn't bring itself to directly ask for help at this particular time.
She tried to kill him, after all…
"Please forgive me for this." Hyuk unchained her from the bed stand, but kept her wrists bound.
He positioned them the same way they were before. This time, with a few alterations done to it.
Since she couldn't balance herself in this kind of posture on his lap, his hands grabbed her ass.
A soft moan could be heard from her.
Her bulging stomach touched his abs…
His breathing pattern changed while sending out the chaos going on within her. It was too uneven.
The thickness of his Yang Energy was like a bone being caught in her throat, which could choke her.
If it managed to overpower her Yin Energy, it'd cause an imbalance of Yin and Yang from within.
Therefore, he couldn't assist in a 'normal' way.
Rather, he could only use the demonic technique of one who 'plucks' to drain that energy within her.
His breathing altered to suit a specific pattern…
'Damn prodigy…' Seeing that the abundance of Yang had weakened, Bai Ling inwardly cursed.
With her hands tied behind her back, she could only submissively accept him lessening the burden.
'What if he drains me?' When she realised he could also pluck Yin to nurture Yang, it gave her concern.
Her heart dropped while the Yang Essence within her womb was absorbed to boost her cultivation.
When it finally finished, her back fell on the bed with her legs still open. A really tempting posture.
One that Bai Ling immediately put away.
She crossed her legs and hid her pussy.
"Do I look like the kind of person who'd do anything to you?" Naturally, Hyuk didn't meet expectations.
His hands moved from her ass to her stomach while keeping his legs crossed and rod exposed.
The last remnant of Yang Energy dissipated…
But her dress was still in tatters from earlier.
"I won't thank you."
"You're welcome."
"When did I say-! Fine… Now unlock the seal."
"So you can do what to me, exactly?"
"Do you not trust me?"
"Sorry. No." The way he said that so as-a-matter-of-factly was kinda annoying in its own right.
She suddenly felt like 'fighting' him right here.
*Swish*
Her legs naturally opened from side to side, and the woman seemed ready to invite him inside her.
"You don't want to continue where we left off?" It was an invitation to see who could 'pluck' more.
However, Hyuk had no interest.
"You know… There have been many who told me a weak man deserves humiliation. What do you think about this topic?" Seeing how he ignored her seduction, Ling spoke while clicking her tongue:
"My master doesn't like them."
"A woman should be petals, and a man should be thorns. It's that kind of thinking this palace has."
"…That's wrong."
"Wrong? Though there aren't any wallflowers in this place, they are most certainly 'flowers'."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"I'm wondering why you pretend to be a 'white flower', when you clearly aren't 'pure-minded'."
"Nonsense…!" She denied. A blaze of fury erupted from her heart than made her kick his face straight.
However, Hyuk didn't reel from the intense pain.
He merely grabbed her by the ankles when she resisted and dragged her body closer to her.
All until her pussy touched his dantian area.
"I haven't even touched you, but you became so wet. You're still going to act like a 'white flower'?"
"Don't act like you understand anything about me!"
Bai Ling's rage made her legs wrap around his stomach and squeeze hard enough to cause pain.
Even without a buff body, her application of Qi made it possible for her to kill him in this position.
All she had to do was squeeze out his organs.
However, the lack of retaliation and warmth coming from his Qi Centre made her hesitate to do that.
"Don't act like you understand…" She murmured.
"Hiding this from your master must've been painful. I'm sure she believes that all woman are made up of 'flowers'. You hide it with anger, but it's easy to see what you're truly like." He put his hand on her cheek, causing her to feel a little flustered.
Their faces were close enough to touch…
"You're just a Taoist. You'll die if you leave here anyway. I can… make you my personal possession."
"Then…?"
"I can save your life."
"You're willing to disobey your 'good master'?"
"It's not that… I'll beg that you're useful."
"That's tempting." Truthfully, not dying today by becoming her possession wasn't such a bad thing.
Moreover, he could sense a mutual affection they had for each other. She let go and let him fall on her breasts, a mistake on his part. He managed to quickly pull himself up, but put pressure on her.
She didn't hide her true feelings anymore.
A perverted expression appeared on her face from being tied up. It was 'deplorable' for a woman to make such a look. At least, she didn't seem to even slightly embody the ideals her master had of her.
She was one with a certain taste for humiliation…
"And when we're together, you can do so many things to me. Beat me, whip me, make me feel like a whore, and degrade me into your 'treasure'. I'll take on everything…" Bai Ling spoke amorously.
It was an offer someone with even the slightest annoyance towards her wouldn't be able to refuse.
Moreover, humiliating the Palace Master's disciple?
Wouldn't that be the most satisfying thing for him?
He'd gone through so much in this place. His body had been subjected to much in these long years.
His childhood had been ripped away from him…
It caused a sense of conflict within his heart.
After all, this scene was too sexy. The way she so meaningfully wriggled beneath his burning rod.
His Yang Energy was burning up in his manhood.
This was more than a technique of seduction.
It was the opening to the path that could lead to greater opportunities. All he needed was to give in.
Let his lust take over and have great ambitions.
Who knows? Maybe one day he'd become a puppeteer from behind the curtains of this palace.
A mastermind unfazed by his position in this place.
With Bai Ling by his side, prostitutes would flock to his cock. Submitting their bodies to him in secrecy.
Wouldn't that be heaven?
The perverted side of him started to leak out at that moment. A dark smile appeared on his face.
He truly wanted agree to her terms.
Which was when the 'cultivation' kicked in. The nature of his Internal Qi started to kick in.
All Daoists and Taoists alike practiced to open gates in their body. All connecting to one place.
That nexus being his dantian's Qi Centre.
Both female and male Daoists alike started by opening the First Gate hidden within their groin.
This was known as the 'Root Gate'.
This part of the body was the first Taoists unlocked to gain new understanding. It also grounded them.
Giving the blessing of higher survival instincts.
The Yang Energy of his body seemed blocked there. However, Hyuk naturally moved it higher.
It flowed into the 'Sacral Gate' just above his Qi Centre. This brought him out of animalistic lust.
Instead, he started to think about the emotions and intimacy this Second Gate gave great insight into.
His heightened senses allowed him to dig deeper.
Hyuk could sense the wounds that had been healed over time around her ankles and wrists.
This wasn't her first time being tied up…
…but it was probably the first time she enjoyed it.
The Taoist could tell that she'd found her fetish by means that she likely hoped never happened again.
Understanding this made him respect her fortitude.
Instead of becoming a mess, she moved past a traumatising incident and mastered her feelings.
However, that didn't mean she lied to him.
In fact, he could tell the feelings she had for him were much deeper than she was letting him know.
It was a love born of passion and desire…
The Yang Energy continued up entered the 'Solar Gate' of wisdom and power, making him firm in his confidence that he could understand her. Every little twitch from the expressions she made to him.
It stabilised his initially restless emotions.
His burning hot lust gradually turned into a feeling of love. For he too reciprocated her affections.
This causing his Qi to move up to his 'Heart Gate'.
An eruption of Yang Energy started to densely cover his body, causing him to lose himself.
"You won't be a 'treasure', you'll be my life itself." A suppressed roar surprised the woman underneath.
Their bodies started to intermingle with tough yet warm passion. Smiles curving on both their faces.
They had the most enjoyable time of their lives.
Words of love crossed their lips as their mouths locked together. Tongues intertwining like snakes.
There was no longer any reason to 'pluck' anymore. For this was no longer a battle.
He teased and degraded her while thrusting his hips. His true thoughts leaked when reaching the fifth and final gate. The one used mostly to send Sound Transmission messages to one another.
The 'Throat Gate' of communication…
Though their bodies were mingling, their hearts were talking to ease other with open hearts.
Their inside and outside were being separated.
The outside having rough sex that was just a string of moans, curses, and confessions of deep love.
While the inside talking endlessly with their hearts on their shoulders. Only making them closer.
This was practically the highest form of the more orthodox 'Dual Cultivation' they'd stumbled onto.
The synchronisation of their contrasting Breath Circulation methods and gender created harmony.
Thus giving birth to new things in response.
Both of them experienced a change in their bodies when they'd broken limits of the human condition.
A few hours later, the red hanfu woman checked in.
Only to be wide-eyed by what she saw.
Bai Ling's was half-conscious while lifting her rear erotically. Like a dog begging to be taken again.
Her moans went softly through her gag.
The blindfold on her eyes making her unaware someone even came to see her in this condition.
Her pussy still dripping with Yang Essence…
In contrast, Hyuk seemed to have regained clarity of mind while sitting on the edge of the bed.
His sweat seemed to have washed off the expunged impurities that blackened their bed.
The gross nature of the smell exciting Bai Ling.
It was on this day that he'd crossed over to awaken his 'Third Eye' and become a… unique Martial King.
One that would only be contested in rarity by the woman who was awaiting her partner to continue.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Of course, the red hanfu woman would misunderstand this scene.
There was no disciple of the Pleasure Palace who'd willingly allow someone to slap and bite into them.
The rest of them were 'white flowers', after all.
Those who hid their thorns behind a carcass of innocence. Unlike Hyuk and his 'weakling' self.
"…I'm leaving." These words weren't directed to the disciple, but to the now 'messed up' successor.
She lifted her head to look at him in dismay…
Those eyes seemed to peer through the blindfold.
"Why…?" He only said a few words, but she could tell he meant he was leaving this palace for good.
"I want to live freely. Indulge and see the world myself. I want to have kids, and teach them about how great the world is. How wonderful it is… and of each deep artistic touch the heavens made to create nature." He spoke without any restraint.
Watching as the red hanfu woman ignored his plea.
She merely attacked a mere cauldron that dared to resist his fate. With a sword infused by her Qi.
*Clang!*
Since his body had been reinforced after going through the Earthy Rebirth of Divine Physiology, it was even easier to block her attack using Qi. The sword slammed the Defence Qi he had activated.
Things had yet to change for him.
Even if his body was incredibly strong, it was still a fact that he'd yet to practice any sort of killing art.
At least, this part of him was still unchanged.
However, things didn't go exactly how the red hanfu woman expected the situation play out.
The enlightenment he got after awakening his third eye allowed him greater control of Yang Energy.
It was to the point he learnt a 'certain technique'.
A finger pointed at the woman's chest, and she suddenly felt like her Yin was being nurtured.
The warmth of his Qi made her gasp:
"Ahhh~" She fell forward with a face of pure bliss and satisfaction. Her lower half leaking fluids.
Bai Ling watched this all happen… dumbfounded.
"I call this technique the 'Heavenly Touch of Earthly Satisfaction'." He then turned his finger at her.
"Wait- Ahhh~!" Before she could throw off her restraints and dodge, his energy had flooded her.
This technique was all he needed for self-defence.
The most non-combat battle technique to exist…!
When both woman had fallen unconscious, he walked down the pagoda to cause more moans.
The sound of men being amongst those satisfied screams, as his Yang Energy had a special nature.
He grabbed a simple white hanfu robe on his way out, leaving behind a trail of satisfied prostitutes.
The Pleasure Palace had created a monster that day. One that would be recorded in history.
The legends of the 'Harem King' spread far and wide. His lovers and children amassed everywhere.
It was to the point that the world had changed.
The fighting between the Ming Cult and Orthodox Alliance stopped in response to many incidents.
Most being perpetrated by a certain pervert…
From seducing a talented daughter of heaven, to stealing the future wives of many heaven chosen.
He had become the entire world's weird 'frenemy'.
Which was the reason he had no choice but to ascend. There were too many who knew of him.
So many chasing for his attention.
Whether it be the grandest demoness or fairy…
Over time, Hyuk had matured and settled into his newfound perspective after awakening his eye.
The heightened five senses. that he'd always had on high sensitivity, were finally mastered enough…
He was managed to tone them down to the level of a normal person. Recovering from his dark past.
Though he kept the Buddhist tattoo on his stomach to remember the first woman he'd slept with.
His tale continuing until he'd met Simon and Adam.
Hyuk went out of the neighbourhood for a bit to look at the Redlight District, but it was all useless.
The place was exactly how he'd imagined it.
There were beautiful prostitutes who were smart enough for his 'Honey Trap' plan towards Simon.
However, he didn't like the atmosphere there…
There was no 'love' in this place, only cold and calculated transactions. Everyone was too dull…
The prostitutes did anything you paid them for, and that obsession to do so sucked their individuality.
While stunning, they had no natural qualities or openness of heart that would attract 'that man'.
Maybe one or two may have a Spell Slot meant for charming others, but he felt that wasn't enough.
Any long-term charm effect likely wouldn't stick in Simon's sieve-like physique long enough to work.
Therefore, he needed someone more…
.…'aggressive'.
A woman who could take initiative to controlling the situation and was fully aware of her natural charm.
He could train her to 'trap' Simon from there.
Hyuk's aimless wandering around gradually made him come to the neighbourhood owned by Adam.
The large place was actively avoided by others.
It looked like rumours of 'phantoms' and 'ghosts' being around made people actively stay away.
He stopped by a nearby building and sighed:
"I wish someone could help me right now."
['Mother Nature' is getting anxious.]
"Don't worry. I'll definitely save your man." Hyuk changed tones to console the message window.
['Mother Nature' is asking around for help.]
['Whispering Devil' refuses any and all offers.]
['Olympian Scapegoat' finds it all interesting.]
['Underheaven Porcupine' resists answering.]
… …
['Goddess Loved By All' gives her seal of approval in the name of passionate love-making sessions.]
After a list of rejections, one Imaginary Attribute finally gave a positive response to Gaia's request.
The handsome pervert suddenly felt his skin crawl when he felt the spirit start to possess his body.
[Imaginary Attribute: Pandemos]
Hyuk felt a new skill was being installed into his body based on the cultivation he'd already built.
He shoulder bumped into someone while he was walking thoughtlessly. His eyes turned to see them.
Although this was the first time he met the bunny girl and cat-woman in rebellious rainbow makeup, it felt like he'd found what he was looking for. Their kind of distinct attractiveness had drawn him in.
He'd saw many Beastkin on his way here.
All of them giving him the cold shoulder because he was an outsider. Someone to be avoided.
Since he had the certification by the guards to be let into the neighbourhood despite the territory being on lockdown, they only watched from afar. It was hard for them to actually make conversation.
He looked way too 'human'.
The duo of Beastkin women thought the same after having caught sight to his lack of any animal ears.
But none of them had the same charm these two women did. He could feel it deep in his bones.
That these two would be able to help him properly!
"Greetings, would you two like to become prostitutes?" He asked a bit too straightforwardly.
Their faces darkened as soon as he spoke.
