Chapter 10: Who’s Playing Whom?
[The Abundance Emissary, Shuhu, rallied a massive coalition of Abundance abominations and launched an assault on the Xianzhou Luofu.]
Solon's vision blurred. One moment, he had been happily indulging in his adult game, and the next, it had suddenly turned into a war scenario.
It all happened too fast.
Thankfully, this was just a simulation. Though it pained him a little, he could always restart—a perfect excuse to relive the pleasures of his beautiful master…
Ahem!
His usual discipline kicked in, and Solon pushed those distracting thoughts aside, focusing instead on the situation.
Shuhu… If he remembered correctly, this should be the Third Shuhu Rebellion, and by far the most devastating one.
This event was a major turning point not just for the Cloud Quintet but for the entire Xianzhou Luofu.
In this battle, the previous Luofu Arbiter-General, Teng Xiao, fell in combat. Baiheng self-destructed, taking Shuhu down with her.
Dan Feng and Ying Xing attempted to resurrect Baiheng using the forbidden Dragon's Miraculous Art, hoping to revive her as a Vidyadhara. The ritual failed, instead birthing an abomination infused with Baiheng's blood—a monstrous dragon.
Jingliu, to grant her friend peace, personally slew the dragon. But the trauma pushed her over the edge, triggering her Mara-Struck transformation and driving her to slaughter her former comrades.
Jing Yuan, stepping up in the crisis, became the new Arbiter-General and ultimately defeated Jingliu in a heart-wrenching battle, after which she vanished without a trace.
Dan Feng was subjected to the Molting Punishment, reincarnating as Dan Heng. Ying Xing, cursed by Shuhu, became an immortal abomination—later known as Blade, a Stellaron Hunter.
Aside from Jing Yuan, the others either disappeared or reincarnated, and the Cloud Quintet was utterly shattered.
Solon had a feeling—this simulation had reached a critical juncture.
[Yet, the war Shuhu ignited seemed unrelated to you. The Xianzhou Alliance had clear divisions of labor: the Arbiter-General commanded the Cloud Knights to handle external threats, while the Ten-Lords Commission dealt with internal affairs.]
The Ten-Lords Commission's primary duties involved guiding those on the verge of Mara-Struck transformation, as well as apprehending, interrogating, and imprisoning high-profile criminals.
Compared to the military Cloud Knights, the Ten-Lords Commission was more like an all-in-one law enforcement agency—combining the roles of imperial guards, judiciary, prison wardens, and executioners.
[If the war was won, all would be well. Even if lost, with the entire Luofu on the verge of collapse, as a descendant of the Ten-Lords, you would be among the first evacuated. After all, leaders come first is a time-honored tradition.]
[While the Cloud Knights fought desperately on the frontlines, you, as the Chief of the Ten-Lords Detention Division, had far more to consider.]
[Even as news arrived of the brutal fighting—how the current Arbiter-General had fallen in battle—you, safe in the rear, felt none of the urgency. Your days remained leisurely, filled with feasting and revelry.]
[The only thing that slightly unsettled you was the absence of your maste—ahem—your beloved servant. To your own surprise, you realized Jingliu had carved a place in your heart.]
[Yet the twisted nature of your relationship doomed it from the start.]
[The war ended.]
[Without your interference, the Third Shuhu War concluded as history recorded. Teng Xiao fell, Baiheng self-destructed, and Shuhu was blown to pieces.]
[The war was over. With her closest friend sacrificed, you expected Jingliu to need time to grieve. Yet that very night, she appeared at your estate…]
[Special event triggered. Enter immersive mode?]
Solon's mind sharpened instantly.
Here it comes!
His instincts had been right!
Almost impatiently, he selected Yes.
A wave of familiar dizziness washed over him as he plunged back into the simulation.
The moment Solon regained his bearings, a blur of icy blue crashed into his arms. The faint, familiar scent of cold fragrance filled his senses.
Warm, soft jade pressed against him—his pulse quickened.
This was the first time Jingliu had ever been so forward.
But Solon quickly understood. The loss of her dearest friend in the war had shattered her. Right now, she was at her most vulnerable.
Countless lessons from scumbags and homewreckers had taught Solon—this was the perfect moment to seize her heart and claim her completely!
When a woman was emotionally devastated by tragedy? That was when the bull struck hardest. Success rates skyrocketed.
"What's wrong today?"
He feigned concern.
"Don't speak. Just hold me."
Instead of answering, Jingliu tightened her embrace, pushing him insistently toward the bedroom.
With such an invitation, Solon wasn't about to refuse. His hands slid around her slender waist, pulling her close.
Like conjoined twins, they spun their way into the bedroom.
Before Solon could make a move, Jingliu suddenly shoved him onto the bed.
In one fluid motion, she climbed atop him, knees pinning his sides, trapping him beneath her.
Solon: ???
Big sis… who's playing whom here?
Before he could react, Jingliu slammed her lips onto his, her aggression putting even the most shameless rogue to shame.
Then, as if completely unhinged, she bit down on his lip—hard.
Blood welled up. The metallic tang flooded his mouth, mixed with a faint saltiness.
The taste of his blood only deepened the raw hunger in Jingliu's eyes.
She seemed drunk on it.
Her tongue flicked out, lapping at the blood on her lips. Not satisfied, she dragged a finger across the crimson stain, sucking it clean with deliberate slowness.
This Jingliu—sensual, ravenous—was a far cry from her usual cold, heroic demeanor.
Before Solon could process this transformation—
RIIIP!
Jingliu tore his clothes open, and then—
