"Are you worried about her? Hmm, you really are a bit of a careless one, aren't you?"
Alexstrasza's voice was like velvet, but her movements were as swift and unstoppable as a landslide. Before Li Ke could even offer a rebuttal, he felt the sudden, cool rush of air against his skin. She had casually slid his trousers down in one fluid motion, her eyes widening as they landed on his choice of undergarment.
A soft, amused chuckle escaped her lips as she took in the sight of Erina's lace panties.
Before Li Ke's brain could even process the sheer, soul-crushing embarrassment of being caught in another girl's lingerie, the Dragon Queen began to change. The lethal, metallic gauntlets and razor-sharp claws on her arms shimmered and vanished into thin air, leaving her in nothing but her "refreshing" crimson attire. The warrior was gone; the woman had arrived.
Then, the Dragon Queen's hand—searingly hot but perfectly safe—gripped his "spear." With effortless grace, she knelt before him, guiding his weapon into a warm, damp abyss.
"I suspect you'd prefer it if I kept a few clothes on," she whispered.
Tight? Soft? Plump?
Those words didn't even come close.
Wild? Full of vitality?
They couldn't begin to describe the sensation.
Li Ke felt as though he were being encased by a supremely comfortable hydraulic press. Not only that, but even after sinking his entire length into her, he still hadn't reached the "cradle of life" deep within the Dragon Queen.
It felt like stepping off a cliff into a bottomless, velvet canyon. His heart hammered against his ribs. He could feel every inch of Alexstrasza's interior moving as if it had a consciousness of its own—a rhythmic, perfect undulation that left him breathless.
But the most striking thing was the temperature.
It was the polar opposite of Elsa.
Hot. Blisteringly, uncontrollably hot!
If Elsa's cold was something he could resist simply by circulating his Qi, the Red Dragon's heat made him feel as though he had been cast directly into a furnace.
Just the act of insertion was enough to make him lose his grip on reality. He couldn't even manage to squeeze out a single word!
"It seems you're ready. Then, here I come."
Alexstrasza watched him with a gentle smile. Though a hint of shyness remained, she privately appraised Li Ke's "spear"—it was a very impressive specimen. However, the sad reality was that since becoming a Dragon Aspect, no dragon had ever truly been able to satisfy her. She had even whispered about it with her sister, Ysera, only to find they shared the same frustration.
The size difference between a Dragon Aspect and an ordinary dragon was nearly a hundredfold. Expecting a male dragon to satisfy her in their true forms was asking for the impossible—especially since female dragons were naturally much larger than the males.
Because of this, they both preferred these encounters in human or elven forms. The human biological "reward system" for procreation allowed them to experience pleasure dozens of times more intense than what they felt as dragons. The problem was that even in human form, very few could keep up with her or Ysera; in fact, due to the overwhelming intensity of the human nervous system, some partners performed even worse than they did in dragon form.
But these were minor details. As long as she could successfully produce dragon eggs, she didn't dwell on it. And right now, the goal was efficiency, not pleasure.
She pressed lightly against Li Ke's chest, her full, heavy breasts swaying before his eyes. Below, she began to apply a rhythmic, crushing force, utilizing every technique she had mastered over millennia to squeeze him dry as quickly as possible. She was working so hard that every time she lifted her hips, Li Ke was nearly pulled off the bed along with her.
It was inevitable. If Li Ke's "level" in this field was a 10, then Alexstrasza—who had lived for tens of thousands of years—was a level 10,000. It was a total, crushing defeat.
Seeing the overwhelmed expression on his face, Alexstrasza sighed inwardly. Forgive me, little one. I must borrow your strength, yet I cannot even let you enjoy it in peace. But it is necessary.
She took a deep breath, hooked a finger under Li Ke's chin to tilt his dazed face up, and flashed that radiant, maternal smile again. Simultaneously, she tightened her grip with a bone-crushing squeeze and slammed her weight down.
"Relax, child. Just think of me as your mother."
Li Ke's mind felt as if it had been doused in ice water. He snapped into a cold clarity, but the shock caused him to break instantly. He "erupted" a massive torrent of scalding white flame deep into Alexstrasza's lava-honey cave!
The sheer force of her tightening, undulating walls immediately milked him dry, sending the spray flying everywhere as he was squeezed out of her. However, a small portion of his seed managed to force its way into Alexstrasza's "Cradle of Life."
The Dragon Queen suddenly shuddered.
It wasn't because of the heat. It was because his "breath" felt... cold.
What felt like scorching fire to Elsa was, in Alexstrasza's perception, merely lukewarm.
As for Li Ke, the sensation of "firing his shot" so instantly brought with it a wave of gargantuan shame and the grief of being utterly toyed with. His instinctively activated Blood Qi technique spiraled out of control due to the massive physical pleasure and mental shock—causing his heart to flatline on the spot.
His "spear" went limp instantly, squeezed out of that lava-nest that functioned like a mixture of a whirlpool and a hydraulic press. Sensing Li Ke's heartbeat abruptly vanish, even the world-weary Alexstrasza let out a gasp of surprise, her lips parting to reveal her adorable dragon fangs.
"Eh? Was I... too much? What a truly sensitive child..."
Despite her words, the Life-Binder's healing hands didn't miss a beat. She pressed her palm against his chest, and the flames of life instantly repaired the damage to his heart, jump-starting it back into a steady rhythm.
But when Li Ke opened his eyes and saw Alexstrasza's apologetic expression, he simply curled into a ball and hugged his knees.
He wanted to cry.
This is too pathetic!
Alexstrasza only needed five strokes!!!
Five strokes and he had surrendered! Actually, it was more like three! Because by the third one, he was already done—her words and the final two thrusts were just the "grand finale" that sent him over the edge!
This was way more humiliating than the "three-minute" Work Mode! And to top it off, the Red Dragon Queen had used such a despicable tactic to make him fire—she had weaponized his own sense of shame!
Vile Red Dragon Queen!
Li Ke's mind, which had long since become immune to the despair of survival, felt a fresh wave of psychological collapse. Sometimes, for a man, it only takes one tiny, crushing blow to break his entire spirit.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I was just in such a hurry. I was wrong, little one... I won't do that again..."
Alexstrasza looked at him with an awkward, guilty expression. Being naturally nurturing, she pressed her body against his, using the gentle warmth of her breasts to try and comfort his shattered mind and soul.
But in the eyes of the poor, weak, and helpless Li Ke, her silhouette was no longer that of a captivating beauty. She was a terrifying, man-eating beast!
A wicked, wicked Red Dragon!
"Um, well... although I am truly sorry, I really must return quickly. How about this—I shall grant you another blessing, all right? I know this is unfair, but please, I need your help. I will be very gentle from now on. I won't rush you to the finish line again, I promise... I swear it upon my title as the Red Dragon Queen and the Life-Binder."
Alexstrasza did her best to put on her most nurturing, gentle expression. But as she felt Li Ke staring at her chest—and noticed his "spear" regaining its spirit in response—a look of relief washed over her face. She promptly pushed him back down and captured his lips in a kiss. When she finally pulled away, leaving him gasping for air, she looked at him with an earnest, tender gaze.
Li Ke had managed to pull his psyche back together. Looking at the sincere Dragon Queen and seeing that she was waiting for his consent before moving again, he gave a helpless nod.
"Wonderful! I knew you were a good boy!"
In her excitement, the Dragon Queen buried Li Ke's face into her cleavage before guiding him back into the lava-cavern once more.
But naive Li Ke had forgotten one crucial detail.
The Red Dragon Queen had promised to be "gentle."
However—
When a Level 10,000 fights a Level 10, does "gentleness" actually make a difference?
Later, when a guilt-ridden Alexstrasza finally handed a completely hollowed-out Li Ke over to Elsa's care so she could go out and hunt for food, Elsa looked down at the near-lifeless man and heard a faint murmur.
"Form is emptiness... emptiness is form..."
"Huh?"
Elsa stared at him in bewilderment. Li Ke's eyes were glassy and hollow, staring right through her with a terrifyingly enlightened clarity. A faint, golden light seemed to shimmer around his body.
"When you think about it... breasts are just sacks of fat, really. Heh... hehehe... I honestly don't know why I was ever so obsessed. Heh... hehe..."
Utterly at a loss, Elsa turned to Toph for help, but Toph simply looked away with a guilty conscience.
"I'm blind, remember?"
I know that! But you can still hear him! Elsa screamed internally.
But Toph wasn't finished. She added flatly, "And because I'm blind, I can't see anyone this pathetic and weak."
