Chapter 1: The Prey Takes the Bait

“You and I walk different paths. Even if you kill me today, I will not yield.”

“Hmph, then I’d like to see… how you intend not to yield. Is it like this?”

In the dimly lit room, amidst layers of crimson gauze that seemed to drip blood, a man and a woman were intimately entwined.

As she spoke, the woman advanced further, directly binding the man’s hands together with red silk ribbons.

Then, her gaze fell upon the man’s exposed upper body.

Against his pale complexion, the smooth lines of his muscles were distinctly visible.

And coupled with that handsome, dashing face…

‘What a delectable sight!’

In a cultivation world where yin overshadowed yang, such an exceptional man was exceedingly rare.

Pitifully scarce, in fact.

In short, Xia Yan was utterly delighted with this man.

She no longer wished to prolong the foreplay; instead, she yearned to devour him whole to sate her desire.

‘That tormenting little imp.’

“Demoness, you may have my body, but you’ll never have my heart!”

A look of indignant shame spread across Ye Cha’s face.

He seemed furious at being treated this way by a woman, believing it utterly disgraced him, the Eldest Disciple of the righteous path!

However, in Xia Yan’s eyes, it was an entirely different scene.

Those captivating eyes, like polished obsidian, resembled clear, crystalline spring water.

Yet, they were now veiled by a misty haze, stirred by his emotional turmoil.

Ye Cha’s long eyelashes fluttered, a delicate dance that seemed to playfully scratch at her heart like a cat’s paw.

“Good boy. You are my first man; I won’t mistreat you in the future.”

Xia Yan smiled at Ye Cha, then reached out to lightly tap his Adam’s apple.

Her finger slowly slid downwards, causing Ye Cha’s chest to tremble with his quickening breath.

‘Such a naive and adorable man!’

As Xia Yan entertained these thoughts, Ye Cha seemed to resign himself to his fate.

He turned his face away, unwilling to gaze upon the detestable countenance of the demonic enchantress.

Even if this demoness possessed a beautiful face capable of enchanting all beings, a voluptuous figure with alluring curves, and a waist so slender it could be grasped in one hand…

Recalling the demoness’s captivating appearance and the impatience in her eyes, a faint, almost imperceptible smirk tugged at the corner of Ye Cha’s lips.

‘The prey had taken the bait.’
