Grasping Evil

Yuan Yao tried to jump down from the golden flame chariot. However, she was pulled by Ning Fan into his arms and was forcibly brought back to the chariot.

During the days she spent at Ning Fan's side, she had been working hard on unsealing the seals which were implanted inside her body, allowing her cultivation level to almost recover to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm. She fell into Ning Fan's arms with her soft breasts glued to Ning Fan's chest, enabling her to clearly feel Ning Fan's body temperature.

"H-How dare you! Let me go now! If the others saw us…"

She was a little flustered as she had not experienced this kind of feeling before. It just stirred up her memories of that crazy night.

Her mind was in disarray. At this moment, she had forgotten that they were being chased by the Realm Beast. She had also forgotten that she was prepared to leave on her own. The only thing she wanted to do now was to escape from Ning Fan's arms as quickly as possible.

Her phoenix eyes carried a hint of anger. But when she saw Ning Fan's which glinted with dominance, her angry voice was actually stuck in her throat and her aura weakened. Then, with a lower tone, she said.

"Lu Bei, let me go. I'm just going to be a burden to you if I continue to stay here…"

"You're not allowed to go!"

What echoed into Yuan Yao's ears was Ning Fan's imposing voice.

Ning Fan eyes had never been so solemn before. He knew that the smartest way to deal with the trouble of the Realm Beast was to leave Yuan Yao alone and cut whatever relation he has with her.

However, he had promised Luo You to save Yuan Yao's life and he had also promised Yuan Yao to keep her safe. He just could not cast Yuan Yao aside at this point of time and flee on his own!

"All my life, I've killed so many but those have nothing to do with good or evil. Whatever I did was all for my Dao Heart and to ensure that I never leave a single regret in my life. If I give up and leave you alone right here, then all the challenges and adversities I've faced with my teeth gritted along the path of my devil cultivation would then become meaningless! In the future, I'm sure that I will regret it! And I don't want to be filled with regrets!"

Ning Fan let loose of her as a formidable aura force which did not seem to fear the earth or heavens surged within his body. That scene caused Yuan Yao's expression to change greatly.

"No matter who my enemy is, be it a Realm Beast, or even an Immortal Emperor, if I promised to protect you, then I will never abandon you. You just need to obediently stay on the chariot and don't leave!"

Don't!

Ning Fan was actually giving Yuan Yao an order!

Yuan Yao's heart swayed and her thoughts were in disorder. In the past, she was the one who gave others orders. There was not even a time for her to be ordered around by someone else.

At this moment, she felt that she was just too weak and feeble. Right now, she felt like she could only survive under Ning Fan's protection …

Even though I am being pursued by a Realm Beast, he is unwilling to cast me aside...

"It is no ordinary beast but a Realm Beast instead! Even if we hide in the chiliocosm of a Treasure of the Cosmos, it can also smash the world within with just a single slap… You might die if you bring me along with you…" Yuan Yao's heart was extremely confused.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Ning Fan only gave her a short, indifferent reply. However, from the sentence he just uttered, it showed that he had already decided to put aside his own life.

Even though it was just a single sentence, it contained the heroic pride which countless outstanding beings of the Northern Heaven could not match!

Even though it was just a single sentence, it touched Yuan Yao, making her unable to restrain the emotions welling up in her heart.

Yuan Yao's eyes scanned through Wu Yan, Xi Ran, Yue Lingkong, and eventually paused at the female corpse whose facial expression was as calm as usual. Apparently, the other women did not seem to have the intention of casting her aside. Moreover, the female corpse even reached out her hand to stroke Yuan Yao's cheek as if she was trying to console her.

"Don't… worry… Light… is… here…"

"Yes. He's here…"

Yuan Yao closed her beautiful eyes with a smile. Probably, it's entirely possible that it would be an extremely blissful thing for me to be protected by a man who is willing to put his entire life for it once in my entire life…

Even though we are just strangers who met each other by chance and are not meant to be together in the end…

"I am not running away anymore. But I can't just be your burden…Lu Bei, could you do me one last favor…Use the power of your Wind Mist Finger to help me completely break my seals!"

"What!? Your injuries aren't healed yet! If your seals are to be lifted completely, you might be able to kill the Realm Beast, but it's likely that you would be unable to endure your original cultivation, making you explode into pieces!" Ning Fan refused her offer with a grim look.

"Be rest assured that I know what I'm doing… I know it is not the best idea but I want to take a chance…"

Yuan Yao bit her lip gently. She knew that if she erases the seals completely right now, she would probably die in her current condition, but…

She just wanted to bet once. If she doesn't die, she would do everything in her power…to protect Ning Fan!

"Little cucumber, Yuan Yao is right, you should just help her lift her seals. We will temporarily take control of the golden flame chariot. As for the windstorm of the Void Realm behind the chariot, if it initiates any attacks, just let your army of spiritual puppets handle it…"

Yue Lingkong no longer cracked jokes. At this moment, she became unbelievably serious, and in an instant she just came up with a rational judgement.

"Alright!"

Ning Fan slapped his storage pouch and took out nine puppets including the black puppet. He gave them a simple order: smash any blades or attacks from the windstorm with your fists.

The women were responsible for driving the chariot, while the black puppets were guarding it. If it wasn't for the Realm Beast who had come chasing after them too, it wouldn't be too dangerous for them to just face the attacks from the windstorm of the Void Realm.

There wasn't much time for him to hesitate anymore.

If that's the case, I shall quickly tear off Yuan Yao's seals before the Realm Beast arrives!

"I still have three Sixth Revolution Undying Pills. You should consume all of them. Although they can't fully heal your injuries, at least they can more or less suppress your injuries …"

Without uttering any more words, Ning Fan pulled Yuan Yao's hands and walked directly into the golden flame chariot.

Yuan Yao's shoulders shivered suddenly. She clenched her jaws and did not try to break free.

Inside the golden flame palace of the chariot, both of them vanished in rays of light and reappeared in a clean and quiet room.

There was an ancient demon statue which was enshrined in the room. The never-ending sandalwood smoke coming out from the incense burner made the air within the room become slightly filled with the fragrance of incense.

"You need to sit on this cattail hassock and take off your top!"

"Do I really need to take off my shirt?"

Yuan Yao bit her lips shyly. Other than the only hot and steamy night she had with Ning Fan, she was always formal and serious towards Ning Fan.

This would be her first time undressing herself and exposing her naked body in front of Ning Fan in her conscious state. She was unwilling to do so but it was something that must be done.

There were two seals inside her body. With one of them being planted at her stomach, while the other at her forehead.

The seal on her forehead was not hard to deal with. However, to lift the seal on her stomach, it could not be done without taking off her top garments.

Last time when Ning Fan kissed Yuan Yao, he had passed her the Poison King Token which contained the power of his Wind Mist Finger. That power had an unexpectedly good effect on corroding the seal.

Yuan Yao had been thinking about what the power of that mysterious golden purple mist truly was for thousands of times. To her, it was extremely terrifying. However, up until now, she still could not figure it out.

Aside from that, there was still one more thing that made her more confused as she contemplated more about it: what her feelings really are towards Ning Fan.

Was she feeling thankful to Ning Fan for rescuing her multiple times?

Was she feeling touched because he escorted her throughout their journey?

Was she blaming him for destroying her chastity?

Was she feeling impressed by Ning Fan's remarkable talent?

She didn't know. She didn't understand. Perhaps she had already understood everything clearly, but when facing the cruel reality in front of her, she just did not have courage to break through the barrier of her feelings.

"Fine, I'll take off my shirt! However, when you are getting rid of the seals later, don't you simply touch or look at me. You need to understand that between us…"

"I understand. You've said it a lot of times!"

Ning Fan's eyebrows were knitted together slightly. When she saw Ning Fan was slightly unhappy, she immediately shut her mouth feeling annoyed with herself.

What's wrong with me? Why did I say that even though I knew he hates those who talk to him in a lofty and arrogant manner?

She bent down slightly with her back facing against the ancient statue. She felt her heartbeat race. It had never ever pounded at such a speed before.

Her cheeks turned red and hot. Gently, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes tightly, beginning to undo the buttons on her thin shirt which then fell down her body.

That astounding beauty was indescribable!

Before she met Ning Fan, she was the high and lofty lord of the Lost World Palace. Every word she said and every action she made could bring changes upon the situation of the Northern Heaven. A single order she gave could cause the entire Rain World to be destroyed.

She was so noble and virtuous that she allowed no one to desecrate her. But right at this moment, she took off her shirt shyly, just like a maiden who was at her first wedding night, exposing her silky white her skin.

Perhaps it was because of embarrassment. Perhaps it was because of the dim yellowish candlelight. Her pure white complexion was tinged with pink. That lustrous surface made her skin look tender and elastic.

After undressing only her top, she paused, leaving her tube top on.

A pale-bluish white tube top seemed to be incapable of totally covering her white ample breasts. Her chest moved up and down rapidly as if she was panting since she was overwhelmed by her nervousness. Subconsciously, she even placed her hands around her chest to cover them, trying to prevent others from seeing that sexually arousing view.

Ning Fan, however, seemed to have been captivated by the sight before his eyes.

He might have seen countless women's naked bodies before, but Yuan Yao definitely was the woman who possessed the most femininity.

Especially Yuan Yao's Spirit Physique of Purple Lust. It gave her a charm which could rarely be found among ordinary women. That mystical power nearly lit Ning Fan's fire of desire.

It's truly a terrifying charm!

When she sensed Ning Fan's eyes which were blazing with lust, Yuan Yao opened her eyes and said with an impatient tone.

"Have you seen enough!? Shouldn't you help me break the seals right now?!"

"I'm sorry. You're just too beautiful."

Ning Fan gave her an awkward smile. He then silently muttered the mental spell of the Yin Yang Transformation to suppress his lust which was stimulated by her charm. At the next moment, his eyes were filled with solemnity again.

He was a free and easy person. To him, everything was pretty straightforward. If he loves, he loves, if he hates, he hates. If he thinks something is beautiful, then it's truly beautiful; if he thinks something is ugly, then it is truly ugly.

He wasn't a villain who would take advantage of others when they are in a perilous state. However, he was also not a pretentious man who acted as if he was morally better than others. He was just a man who knew how to distinguish between his priorities. Therefore, he would not do anything improper and excessive at a time like this.

Ning Fan sat down with his legs crossed in front of Yuan Yao. Under the light of the candles, whenever their eyes met and locked, they would then immediately avert their gazes with a complicated look on their faces.

"Let's begin…"

"Mm…"

Ning Fan took a deep breath and started to rotate his magic power on his fingertips. Gradually, strands of golden purple sand-like mist rose from them. He carefully placed his fingers on Yuan Yao's lower abdomen, rubbing the surface of her skin gently and slowly.

A feeling of numbness and heat surged within Yuan Yao's heart as Ning Fan's fingertips made contact with her skin, causing her to close her eyes in embarrassment and shame. Deep inside her heart, she could not help but feel extremely remorseful.

"If my four daughters know that their mother had such close contact with a man, they would probably be very disappointed in me…"

Yuan Yao's remorse carried a hint of misery. That misery was because of her self-blame, a mental barrier which could not even be wiped away by the power of Ning Fan's Yin Plucking Finger.

Ning Fan pitied her slightly from the bottom of his heart.

This woman's status is just too aloof. Therefore, the responsibilities which she shouldered are immensely great. As such, she can't make any mistakes, let alone lose her purity.

"I need to be more cautious so that I don't embarrass her…"

Ning Fan became even more serious. With his talent in seals and formations as well as his mighty Wind Mist Finger, it was not difficult for him to lift the seal on her lower abdomen.

His care and prudence made Yuan Yao appear to be less tense. Instead, she was deeply moved by him.

"We're already at a critical stage like this and he is still concerned about my feelings…"

"If he were to be born one hundred thousand years ago, no, if he were to be born one thousand years ago, perhaps…"

Bit by bit, the seal on Yuan Yao's body was cautiously corroded by Ning Fan. A rush of warm magic power began to flow throughout her body. Originally, it should have been a comfortable experience. However, because of the excessive magic power, every extra magic power that was freed would squeeze into her immortal veins, making the injuries which were inflicted upon her by the Realm Beast become excruciatingly painful.

Meanwhile, because of the touch of Ning Fan's fingertips, it caused Yuan Yao's body to experience a tingling sensation, making her body soft and powerless while being in agony.

Even though Ning Fan had restrained the movement of his fingers and avoided touching her sensitive parts, the stimulation from his touch was still too severe to Yuan Yao…

Pain and comfort. Numbness and excitement. Mixtures of feelings filled her entire body, putting her into an unconscious state. With a pair of misty eyes, she stared lustfully at Ning Fan. However, she forcibly restrained herself from yielding to her lust.

She had been struggling to forget that absurd night she had with Ning Fan. Despite that, at the current moment, the scenes which happened during that night surfaced within her brain one after another.

Her own "backyard" was broken in by Ning Fan with force, causing blood to sprinkle onto the bed sheets.

The pain and pleasure during the process was tormenting her internally.

"Lu Bei, why did I have to meet you…"

She began to speak incoherently.

"Keep your aura. The first seal is going to be completely lifted!"

Ning Fan's eyes shone with determination as he ferociously pressed down his finger against her belly. Under the erosion of his golden purple mist, the sound of breaking glass seemed to have echoed from Yuan Yao's belly. All of a sudden, a rune which was formed from countless blood-red lines dispersed!

*Ah*

A feeling of pain that she had never felt before struck her, causing her to nearly pass out. Her body lost her balance and leaned forward, falling into Ning Fan's chest. Her soft and ample bosom which were only covered with a thin tube top pressed against Ning Fan's chest just like that.

The agony she felt made her regain a bit of her consciousness. However, all of a sudden, she was reluctant to stay away from this hug.

As the first seal was lifted, a tremendous amount of magic power nearly at the Void Fragmentation Realm converged within Yuan Yao's body. However, it did not make her immediately regain her cultivation level.

Just as that massive magic power dispersed within her body, an immense pain struck her, aggravating her injuries. Her condition became so severe that it nearly killed her!

Since her magic power was sealed for quite some time, she would still need more time to completely refine it…

After eliminating the seal on her lower abdomen, there was one more seal located on her forehead which would be much easier to erase.

In fact, it was planted by Yuan Yao herself. As long as she regains her Void Fragmentation Realm cultivation, she could break it off with ease.

"Now, you just need to meditate in seclusion to refine your magic power. You only have to force the magic power which has just been unlocked back into your immortal veins and you will then be able to regain your Void Fragmentation Realm cultivation…"

Ning Fan muttered gently. However, Yuan Yao was still leaning wearily on his chest. Her eyelids became heavier and heavier and her consciousness was slipping away bit by bit.

"P-painful. It's so painful… Lu Bei… I feel like I'm dying…"

Her breathing was feeble. Currently, her condition severely worsened and it would be totally impossible for her to endure the enormous amount of power which had just been freed!

She wanted to gamble. She wanted to gamble for the chance to recover her cultivation level. Unfortunately, she failed!

Yuan Yao's consciousness had already become hazy. A large amount of fresh blood was gushing out from the seven apertures of her head and even her lower part, dying the thin cloth which covered her lower body bloody-red.

Her mental state was in a trance and she seemed to have seen an illusory scene amidst the blurriness of her sight.

In that scene, she was an unmarried maiden. It was her younger self who was still an ignorant and muddle-headed girl. Standing in a valley which was covered with fragrant thoroughwort, she stared at a cold-looking young man who was slowly walking further and further away from in front of her…

"Lu Bei…"

While seeing the view of the young man's back, the young lady's mind was already unclear.

It was the situation which she longed for the most before her death. Unfortunately, it would never appear in reality.

"Why would she become like this?! Sister Yao Er!" Within the Yin Yang Locket, an anxious and troubled voice echoed.

When she saw Yuan Yao was about to die, Luo You was no longer as composed and calm as usual.

"Did I just hear Little Sister You's voice? Was it an illusion…" Leaning powerlessly onto Ning Fan's body, Yuan Yao mumbled with great effort.

Ning Fan was greatly confused. He immediately cast aside the distracting thoughts and cleared his mind. With his teeth clenched, he took out the three Undying Pills and shoved them into Yuan Yao's mouth.

"You aren't allowed to die!"

His authoritative command and his strong manly smell brought back Yuan Yao's consciousness.

She slowly lifted her eyelids. Absent-mindedly, she could vaguely see that Ning Fan had straightened her body and fed her three Undying Pills with his mouth.

*Wuuuu*

Her sweet-smelling lips were stuffed by Ning Fan's lips while her fragrant tongue was fondled by him using his own. Under the ecstatic stimulation, Yuan Yao felt that her injuries were not as painful as before and her consciousness was slowly returning.

"Wuuu… You can't… be like this…" In an indistinct manner, she murmured something. Even so, Ning Fan did not listen to a single word she said. After a long while, only then did he let loose of Yuan Yao's lips and asked with a concerned tone.

"How do you feel now? Have your injuries been suppressed a little? Do you still feel pain?"

"Mm. I'm much better now… Thank you…"

As the pills were assimilated by her body, her condition stabilized and her injuries were kept under control. Gradually, her breathing calmed down.

Currently, however, she was still half leaning on Ning Fan's arm with an ambiguous feeling. Her lips still had Ning Fan's temperature which was left on her when she was forcefully kissed by him.

Her injuries might have been suppressed, but the pain she was experiencing became even more serious because of the violent medicinal power from the pills. It was intensified nearly by two times.

As the pain struck, Yuan Yao let out a shriek and passed out once more.

"How could this be?! Sister Yao Er's injuries have already been under control but the pain she felt has actually become even more severe?!" Luo You said in a surprised tone.

"I guess there's only one way out…"

Ning Fan's eyes flashed with sympathy.

Should I perform dual-cultivation with her to relieve her pain?

After hesitating for a moment, his eyes became stern and he pressed his body against Yuan Yao's and his hands glided down her body, stroking the inner part of her thighs.

The first time they made out was due to Yuan Yao who bewitched him.

This time, it was Ning Fan who took the initiative. Although he was trying to save her, he was not going to give her any explanations anymore after that!

"Why should I explain to someone else when I, Ning Fan, do something?!"

With a pull, the thin cloth covering Yuan Yao's body was removed. He pushed both of her legs wide apart and stared at the pink, tender 'backyard'. His eyes then glinted with determination.

Yuan Yao's private part was already wet and glossy.

As for Ning Fan, he no longer wasted a single second and he penetrated straight into her.

"Mm…. Mm…"

Seductive moans echoed out of the golden flame palace.

In her half-conscious state, Yuan Yao could faintly feel that she was once again being violated by Ning Fan.

Her cold and aloof temperament dissipated along with the pain she felt. However, when her magic power returned, her usual temperament resurfaced again in her eyes.

When she completely recovers her original cultivation level, perhaps Ning Fan and her would only be strangers…

Reality was always cruel.

This time, however, she did not resist… Instead, she allowed Ning Fan to do anything to her.

In the future, we will never meet again and neither will our relationship bear any fruits… This time will be the last… I'll just let him do whatever he wants…

I… really am not a good woman…

Yuan Yao's arms clasped around Ning Fan's body, hugging him even tighter.

Regardless of what tomorrow's evening will be like, we will both be strangers…
