Being comforted

In the end, I could only turn my head away from Yao's teasing eyes muttering, "Who needs you?"

Yao chuckled, letting go of my chin, but did not step back. "Why do you have Old Wei's breath on you? Did he harass you?"

I clenched my jaw with memories of the excruciating pain coming back to mind. Luckily, Old Wei sent me a healing pill after wounding me. How considerate of him to heal me after breaking me. It sounded like someone I knew...Liang Yi.

The thought of him left me wondering what he was doing and if he had any other plans to kill me again. But considering that his sister called off the engagement, he didn't have any reason to come after me.

'Except he believes I cursed him.'

Argh! If only I had been informed back then, I wouldn't give him even a sprinkle of my blessings. Now I was stuck here as a small librarian who is easy to be bullied by these attractive and powerful men.

"Take me out."

"What?"

My head shifted to face the naked Yao but his charm pulled my concentration down to his cöck.

Why did it look so delicious?

'Focus!'

"Ahem!"

I cleared my throat but was, in reality, trying to clear the distracting voices, telling me to go ahead and touch him just to see how he would react.

My feet began walking past him aiming for the bed. It would have been a successful escape, but Yao had to grab my arms and pull me back in front of him. This time, closer than before for I could feel his hot breaths landing on my face.

Damn!

This demon was tall. Or was I shorter than the average men here?

Well, from my observation, Lin Xuan only had his beautiful looks and his parent's money to go by. In terms of manners and length down there, he was a little bit lacking. Maybe it was why he tried to compensate by living such a promiscuous life, pulling in the women with his appearance and the money.

"Where do you want to go? Are you thinking of escaping the sect cause let me make it clear-" Yao's eyes were now glowing, inflicting in me a sense of danger, "-I will not let you leave this place alive. You know too much about me."

He was enraged. His fury bled through his eyes and into my soul.

"What? No. No, no, no. You misunderstand me, Yuan Yao. I only wish to go outside in the city and breathe. I have been here for two weeks without being allowed to even leave the building. It's growing boring."

My words seemed to leave a positive impact from how the glow of his eyes faded.

Phew! I sighed internally.

"Oh! Is that so?"

He released my arms and turned to the side running a hand in his scalp. "I thought, um... It doesn't matter."

He snapped his fingers and his whole appearance changed from head to toe.

His hair was now a shimmering black color, and his bloody, naked skin was covered up by clean white robes that gave him a divine aura.

"You should put in something nice as well," he said with a mischievous grin on his red lips. With a snap of his fingers, new clothes appeared on my body. They were black as I preferred, but a little...exposing.

One, the leather harnesses running on my chest in a cross only covered my nipples, leaving bare everything else. The lower part of the outfit was a black skirt with leather pants underneath that clung to my body like a second skin.

I felt like a whore but a man whore ready to seduce anyone who fell in my path.

"No!" I yelled grabbing the harnesses to pull them off.

The demon who had dressed me up so alluringly doubled over cackling his lungs out as I fought with the leather clothes like a child.

"Oh, you look-" heavy laughter continued, interrupting his taunting words. "It looks good on-"

Yao had to lean on the wall closest to him just to keep him from falling from how hard he was laughing...at me.

The mocking got to me, weakening the walls around my soul to get to my vulnerable spot.

Listening to him laugh at me made tears well up in my eyes. I had to turn away to wipe them off while giving up the idea of getting any help from him.

He was just using me to satisfy his demonic urges. Using me for amusement. So why did I expect him to help me out without giving him anything? There couldn't be any friendship cultivated in the few days we had seen each other.

So stupid of me.

"Someone is sulking!" Yao's whisper penetrated my left ear as his laughter died. He, without permission, spun me around and buried his lips on mine, his hand around my waist.

It wasn't just a kiss. He was transferring his qi into me like he did when he teleported me out of the forest.

I knew the rules, hold him as close as I could to avoid being shredded into pieces by the void's energy which he was ripping through.

My hands naturally went around his waist to use his body as my anchor and let him kiss me.

It was a great kiss if I was being honest with myself. But the fear of him playing with me to keep himself entertained killed off any excitement that may have aroused.

A relationship between men would be frowned upon even in this world. So whatever was going on between Yao and I would eventually have to end because, at the end of it, we were both men regardless of what I used to be.

As his lips left mine, he whispered, "I should teach you how to kiss properly."

The truth was, I had worked in a brothel, yes, but I didn't last a month there after turning five customers. Even though I wasn't a virgin in my last life, I hadn't kissed enough men to learn it properly.

Suddenly, loud noises blared in the air as if the lid on my senses had been lifted off.

The air smelled different, infused with pastry aromas, barbecued meat(if they had barbecues), and so many other hunger-inflicting aromas.

They all gathered in my nostrils and shit straight down to my stomach.

A loud audible growl lifted between Yao and me, and he suddenly chuckled.

"Are you less sulky now? Look, I've changed your clothes. Do you like these?"

Under the light flowing down from the lanterns lined up along this lonely alley, I studied the clothes I had on and they were my regular robes. "You're lucky," I mumbled pushing him aside to head for the busy street ahead that was inviting me in with open arms.
