Ning Xuan couldn’t remain indifferent to Chen Nan’s struggles, especially since he was using an Imprisonment Ring.

"Take off the Imprisonment Ring. You’ll feel better." The Imprisonment Ring suppressed Chen Nan’s Superpower Body. With his Superpower Body suppressed, his constitution and endurance would decrease, making the restlessness inside him even harder to bear.

"I can’t take it off. It’s a rule that Contractors must follow!" Chen Nan turned his head, dodging Ning Xuan’s outstretched hand, but then couldn’t resist reaching out to hold it.

"Contractor, I’m S-Class with a Comprehensive Combat Power of S+. Suppressing my Superpower Body seals my Combat Power and keeps my mind clear. If I take it off, my Superpower Body could easily spiral out of control, and I can’t guarantee I won’t hurt you!" Generally, Contractors are a higher Level than their Contractor, and male Spirit Controllers possess even greater Combat Power. To avoid harming their Contractor, a Contractor in their heat period must wear an Imprisonment Ring when nearby to ensure the Contractor’s safety.

Ning Xuan caressed the hand he’d held out to her. He was tall, with slender, long fingers and well-defined knuckles. His clothes had been torn in his earlier struggles, leaving his collar open. The tautness of his muscles made his delicate collarbones especially prominent. Ning Xuan slipped her hand inside his shirt, tracing his waistline before sliding down to his abdomen. She gave his abs a squeeze and traced the lines of his muscles with her hand. ’So beautiful!’

Her touch made Chen Nan’s body writhe uncontrollably. A glistening teardrop slid from the corner of his flushed eyes. He bit his lip tightly, not daring to let go, afraid that the moment he did, a shameful sound would escape. He struggled to suppress his reactions with sheer willpower, terrified of offending her!

But it was too difficult. The scent wafting from her body continuously invaded his senses, seeping into his very system. To him, that smell was a potent aphrodisiac, the direct cause that had triggered his heat period.

This heat period was completely different from previous ones. In the past, they didn’t affect his normal life; he could even relieve the inner turmoil by fighting on the battlefield. This time, however, even without the Imprisonment Ring, his limbs had gone soft, Little Jin was restless and almost uncontrollable. Forget about going to the battlefield—it would be a victory just not to lose control.

Ning Xuan’s current body was that of a minor, but her soul was an adult who had naturally been with men before. She couldn’t even be considered gentle when it came to intimacy. Because she hosted the Ghost-faced Red Vine within her, she had inevitably been tainted by the demon plant’s violent aura.

After every battle, the demon plant would feed its savage energy back into her. Because of this, her mother, fearing it would affect her sanity, had almost stripped the Ghost-faced Red Vine from her body. Later, she discovered that this violent emotion could be relieved through intimacy.

Ning Xuan’s hands grew more and more wanton. With one mischievous, hard press, Chen Nan bit his lip until it bled, but he still couldn’t suppress a groan. "Stop... stop touching me!" The moment Chen Nan spoke, his voice was terribly hoarse and sounded broken.

"Why won’t you let me touch you?" Ning Xuan pressed her body closer. She hadn’t expected Chen Nan to have such incredible self-control. He was clearly in so much agony, yet he was still holding back. ’I wonder what kind of family he comes from,’ she mused. ’He was raised so well.’

"Chen Nan, are you unwilling?" Ning Xuan reached out, grabbing his chin and turning his head back toward her.

"I might hurt you!" ’How could I possibly be unwilling?’ he thought. ’Every fiber of my being craves her touch.’

Looking at Chen Nan, Ning Xuan felt a rush. ’His eyes are so beautiful,’ she thought, ’sparkling like gemstones!’

"You underestimate me. My Spiritual Power Level won’t be this low forever. Don’t resist. Open your Spiritual Sea and let me in!" Ning Xuan pressed her forehead against his. This was the first step in forming the Contract: establishing a spiritual connection.

In truth, establishing a spiritual connection was best done when the two parties had similar power levels. If the disparity in Spiritual Power Level was too great, it posed a certain risk to the person with the lower level.

Seeing her insistence, Chen Nan had no choice but to open his Spiritual Sea. ’With Little Jin suppressed right now,’ he thought, ’I suppose I can’t hurt her anyway.’

Ning Xuan had been cultivating the Soul Nourishing Scripture lately. Now, she guided a tendril of her spiritual power to probe forward. Chen Nan’s Spiritual Sea was incredibly vast. Ning Xuan’s spiritual tendril touched a golden barrier, which trembled slightly and slowly opened a crack. Ning Xuan slipped through the opening.

Chen Nan’s Spiritual Sea was dark and gloomy. The intrusion of Ning Xuan’s spiritual power was like a beam of light, instantly illuminating the surrounding area. Multicolored clusters of light gathered and dispersed around her, having no fixed form. She continued deeper and, in the depths of the Spiritual Sea, saw a large golden bird huddled with its wings tucked in. A black substance flowed within its body, and a red mist shrouded it. When it looked over, its eyes were filled with moisture, giving it a pitiful, heart-rending appearance.

Ning Xuan tapped a finger to the spot between her eyebrows. The tendril of spiritual power that had entered Chen Nan’s Spiritual Sea exploded with a BANG, transforming into a long, white rope of light. It wrapped tightly around the golden bird and began to seep into its body, bit by bit. The moment the black substance within the great bird encountered the white rope of light, it instantly seemed to melt away, gradually fading.

It was as if fireworks were exploding all over Chen Nan’s body, bright and dazzling. His Divine Soul felt as if it were floating on clouds, experiencing the pinnacle of pleasure. At some point, his clothes had been torn to shreds. His hands clung tightly to Ning Xuan, like a drowning man grabbing onto a piece of driftwood. Ning Xuan chuckled lightly and asked him, "Feeling better now?"
