Long silver hair that seemed to reflect the glittering stars of the sky, and soft, cherry-red lips that seemed so soft it looked possible to squeeze out water from them if he applied even the slightest pressure.
Her skin was soft, supple, and milky white, without a hint of blemish in her features; she looked so clean and pure that it seemed an embarrassment to compare even those words to her beautiful form.
And it wasn't just that... as he moved downwards, he saw something that made his heart lurch. It was her eyes—they seemed to be a mix between both silver and gold, regal and hypnotizing, like an endless ocean trying to drown you in its depths.
Ah fuck... I'm so fucking screwed right now.
Huang Shi was starting to breathe heavily, as the natural charms that her body emitted on a constant basis were amplified almost a hundredfold.
Just looking at her made you feel both lust and devotion in the same breath, while at the same time making you wallow in self-pity at the vast difference between her perfection and your unfortunate inferiority.
And all of this didn't even include the seemingly perfect body hidden beneath the covers; with seemingly god-given luck, the covers only partially exposed it, ensuring that he at least was able to hold onto some semblance of self-control.
Shit... don't think about it. Don't even try to stare at it, just look at her face. If I start looking down even more, I really will be fucking screwed.
Suddenly, the woman in question started to smile. It was a soft yet smug smile—a smile that seemed to once again test the limits of his sanity.
Fuck, fuck, fuck... help, God... whoever you are, if you are real... Someone save me... I'm dead... I—I—
Suddenly, a cold breeze seemed to rip through his mind, like a bucket of ice-cold water was dropped on his head, forcefully bringing clarity back to his thoughts.
[HOST, YOU ARE CURRENTLY BEING AFFECTED BY THE PROTAGONIST'S DAO CHARMS. THE PROTAGONIST IS TRYING HER BEST TO SEDUCE YOU AND MAKE YOU ABSOLUTELY LOYAL AND DEVOTED TO HER AND HER ALONE. UTMOST CAUTION IS ADVISED.]
As his mind finally regained its senses, his golden eyes shone with a cold and calm light. This time, he truly was angry.
Did she just try to fucking brainwash me?!
Seeing that Huang Shi had regained his senses—and so quickly at that—made Bai Xinyue raise her eyebrow in both shock and nervousness. She asked with a bit of trepidation in her voice, despite forcing herself to sound calm and composed:
"W-what's wrong? Why do you look so angry?"
Huang Shi stared at her for a few seconds, admiring her immaculate, even divine features, and asked in a soft, monotone voice:
"Did you do that on purpose?"
Bai Xinyue once again tried to hide the slight tremble of her voice as she replied in an equally soft tone:
"What do you mean?"
Hearing her response made his golden eyes narrow as his expression turned to ice.
"So, you want to play these kinds of games with me, Your Highness?"
Seeing that Huang Shi had once again called her by that nickname instead of her given name, her heart clenched in pain.
She briefly considered making up all sorts of reasons and excuses for her behavior, but instead, she chose to stay honest.
She looked back into his eyes with a calm expression, yet underneath that facade, her heart was beating with anxiety.
"Didn't you ask me before why I wanted to show you my appearance? This is it. I wanted to test you; clearly, you passed."
Huang Shi narrowed his eyes, thought about it for a few seconds, and then gave a swift but incisive reply.
"We both know that's bullshit, Your Highness. That's a half-truth. If you had the guts to try it, then you have the guts to admit it as well."
Bai Xinyue's heart shook even more. Her silver-gold eyes tried their best to hide their master's true feelings, but they were clearly struggling. After a few moments, she finally couldn't hold it in anymore and spoke with a flustered tone.
"Alright, fine! I was trying to seduce you, but I didn't do it intentionally—at least not in the way you expect!"
Huang Shi stayed quiet, waiting for her to continue.
"My heavenly physique is a bit special. It naturally emits Dao Charms that allow cultivators to speed up the pace of their cultivation. I can control it, but not very well yet; that's another reason why I hide my true appearance."
Seeing that Huang Shi was still staying quiet, she grit her teeth and continued.
"My Dao Charms also have the added side effect of making me incredibly attractive to both men and women. It's something that I've found annoying ever since I was born. Now that I have finally found someone that I want to use it on—to try and make myself look better in front of him—you chastise me! Is it such a crime that I used it?!"
Alright, I guess that's a pretty good reason.
Realizing that Bai Xinyue wasn't very good at controlling her natural charms and that she had only used them in the hopes of being more attractive to him, all of the anger that had welled up in his heart suddenly disappeared, swept away by the wind.
Aie... who would have thought that the day would come when this woman would be the one trying to seduce me... life sure is strange.
Seeing the sudden look of confidence in Huang Shi's eyes, Bai Xinyue quickly grew agitated. All of a sudden, a soft pillow hit him right in the face before a sound of frustration resounded in the room.
"Whatever! If nothing I do tonight is to your liking, I'll just leave. You can sleep here on your own, and you can forget about our agreement. It seems we are not very compatible!"
However, just when she was about to stand up, a hand suddenly pushed her back down onto the bed. She gasped as he forced her to look into his eyes.
"You will sleep here tonight. We will not be doing anything but holding hands. You will have your own bedsheets separate from mine; hide your body and make sure I don't see a hint of you except your eyes. No touching anywhere else. When you are of proper age, I promise you, we can do whatever you want!"
