Su Mei led Gu Fan down a dimly lit, lavish hallway on the top floor of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, as she walked in front of him swaying her hips deliberately with every step.

The high slits of her red cheongsam revealed her thick, pale thighs, all the way to the linings to her no-peek zone, but walking behind her, Gu Fan’s eyes glued to her bouncing ass. He didn’t hide his staring.

"Right in here, Young Master Gu," Su Mei suddenly spoke as she opened a door to a private chamber.

As they stepped insider the room had plush velvet carpets, a large luxurious sofa, and a low table in the center holding expensive spirit wines and a glowing ornate lamp.

As soon as they walked inside, Su Mei walked toward the table with her back turned, Gu Fan stepped inside.

This was an opportunity as he didn’t waste a single breath and with a subtle flick of his wrist, he pulled out the Earth-Tier ’Tortoise-Shell Lust Array’ from the inventory and he casually brushed his hand past the center table, sticking the glowing array directly onto the base of the ornate lamp.

As soon as the talisman was stuck to the table it was activated instantly.

And just then Su Mei turned around holding two jade cups filled with glowing red wine. With a smile on her face, she walked over and handed one of the cups to Gu Fan.

But instead of pulling away, she stepped in dangerously close to him, intentionally pressing her massive, soft breasts against his arm.

"Drink with me," Su Mei whispered, her red lips curling into a seductive smile.

"Only if we do it my way," Gu Fan smirked as he raised his hand towards her, "We call it a couple’s shot."

Su Mei giggled, playing along as she hooked her arm through his, their elbows intertwining as they stood chest-to-chest.

"Now we drink," Gu Fan urged as they tilted their heads back to drink from their respective cups.

But as they got close, a thick wave of pink charm-mist rolled off her tongue, drifting straight into Gu Fan’s face, and he inhaled it without pulling away.

Gu Fan’s Ancient Venom Physique instantly neutralized the most, as it dissolved in his meridians without leaving a trace.

But Gu Fan did not show it on his face, and played along perfectly.

He let his eyes glaze over her body as he put on a dumb, lustful grin, slamming the empty jade cup on the table.

"Now it’s time to play," Gu Fan stumbled on his legs as he immediately reached out to grab her breasts.

But Su Mei gracefully dodged his hands with a soft, musical laugh, spinning out of his reach.

"Patience, Young Master," she teased and guided the "drunk" Gu Fan to the plush, long sofa and pushed him down, "We still have whole night to play."

She sat down right beside him and without asking, she lifted her smooth, sexy legs and draped them directly over his lap. The slit of her cheongsam fell wide open, giving him a clear view of her pale, thick thighs.

Gu Fan without hesitation placed his hands on her calves and started massaging her.

He kneaded the soft flesh, slowly moving up her thighs. He deliberately pressed his thumbs hard into a sensitive pressure point near her inner thigh.

"Ahhh..." Su Mei let out a sharp, genuine moan, her body jerking slightly from the force.

"You have strong hands, Brother Fan. But a man with so much wealth must have many beautiful women."

"With a man with so much wealth and women... Tell me... You must have someone powerful looking after you, wouldn’t he?"

Gu Fan kept rubbing her thighs, his eyes half-closed like a drunkard, "Oh, indeed... Very indeed... I am backed by a very strong, very powerful entity. You wouldn’t even believe it."

Su Mei’s seductive smile on her face bloomed even wider as she looked amused.

"Is that so?" Su Mei asked, her voice dropping its sweet tone. "And tell me... will this powerful entity come to save you if something happens to you right now?"

Gu Fan stopped massaging her legs as he looked at her with a lecherous smile still plastered on her face.

"They won’t. Because I don’t need them to."

Su Mei’s eyes narrowed. Suddenly, her aura shifted. The fake, pleasant energy she had been projecting shattered. A foul, malicious, and bloody demonic energy erupted from her body.

The pressure in the room skyrocketed with the strength of a 8th Stage of the Origin Realm Cultivator.

The sheer density of her demonic blood-Qi cracked the jade cups on the table.

"You really have no idea what you just stepped into, do you, little Gu?" Su Mei taunted, looking down at him with absolute contempt, "Flashing that much wealth in front of me was the last mistake you will ever make."

"You are a spy for the Yin-Demon Sect," Gu Fan stated casually, not moving an inch from the sofa, "Do you want me to tell you your mother’s name? Or how she died stealing a piece of bun for you?"

"I know all about you."

Su Mei froze as the arrogant smirk vanished from her face, replaced by a flash of genuine shock.

How could this crippled trash possibly know her deepest secret?

How could she knows about my mother?

But she quickly suppressed her surprise, her beautiful face twisting back into a sneer.

Su Mei laughed. It was a dark, wicked sound.

"You are smarter than you look, Gu Clan trash," Su Mei mocked, standing up from his lap, "But it doesn’t matter. You walked right into my room. No one is coming to save you."

She raised her hand as the demonic, blood-red Qi swirled around her sharp fingernails, turning them into lethal, glowing claws.

"Hand over that Spatial Ring," Su Mei ordered, her tone dripping with absolute threat.

"And tell me the secret behind that fire you used on Elder Qian’s desk. Do it now, and I might let you live as my sect’s sex slave." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Gu Fan let out a loud, mocking laugh.

"You want my ring? Come get it on your own Sister Mei," Gu Fan taunted, remaining completely seated.

"Arrogant fool!" Su Mei roared.

She lunged forward. Her 8th Stage Origin Realm speed was supposed to be instantaneous. She aimed her blood-red claws directly at Gu Fan’s chest, intending to paralyze his meridians and rip him apart.

But halfway through the air, her eyes went wide.

Her demonic Qi suddenly shattered. The immense power in her meridians simply vanished, replaced by a boiling, terrifying heat as her muscles went completely limp.

She crashed heavily onto the velvet rug right at Gu Fan’s feet, completely drained of energy.

"Ugh! What... What did you do?!" Su Mei gasped, trying to push herself up, but her arms trembled and gave out.

"You think I was just massaging your legs for fun?" Gu Fan sneered, leaning forward on the sofa and looking down at her.

"The array I stuck to the lamp has been pumping paralyzing, Earth-Tier aphrodisiac mist into your lungs from the second we walked in."

"You have been inhaling it for ten minutes straight. Your Origin Realm cultivation doesn’t mean shit if your blood is boiling from the inside out."

As Gu Fan looked down on her, explaining it "sincerely" to Su Mei, a terrifying burst of heat exploded in her lower belly. Her skin flushed a deep, feverish crimson. Sweat poured down her neck and chest.

"No... this is... this can’t be..."
