Chapter 18: Licking the Calf
Zhao Yuntongâs consciousness slowly awakened.
She could see that she was inside a dwelling, lying flat on a clean yet worn bed.
Outside the window, the night was as dark as ink.
The air carried the sounds of insects and a manâs humming.
Everything felt quiet and peaceful.
Zhao Yuntong could not control a single inch of her body, as if this body had never belonged to her.
Ever since being refined into a Yin Corpse, her soul had felt as though it were drifting in a chaotic seaâ
boundless, without support, lost and helpless.
Only when that man needed her
could she return to her body and regain the feeling of standing on solid ground.
She had grown used to it.
And now, she could see and hear.
An invisible thread connected her soul to her corpse body.
Zhao Yuntong couldnât help but curl her lips into a smile.
She knew
this was deliberately left by that man.
As if saying: âFor now, you may use this body freely. I permit it.â
This feeling was more peculiar than ever before.
It was as though someone had completely taken control of her, and every inch of her skin, every fiber of her body, could be toyed with at will by that manâ
no matter how he handled it, there would be no restraint.
After all, she already fully belonged to himâŠ
For a moment,
a numb tingling spread through Zhao Yuntongâs heart and palms.
It was itchy, like someone gently breathing warmth against herâshe almost wanted to giggle foolishly.
âIf youâre awake, come out.â
Fang Chang suddenly spoke.
Zhao Yuntong stiffened, following the connection to regain control of her body.
Lowering her head along the direction of the voice, she realizedâ
Fang Chang was currently leaning over her abdomen, treating her wounds with a bored expression.
âHow long was I out?â
âThree hours? Four? Something like that. Anyway, you didnât die⊠donât move.â
Fang Chang pressed down on the madwoman who was trying to sit up.
The tomb general had blasted apart the carriage, the three female cultivators of Canglan Mountain had left, and he, a mere Qi Absorption cultivator who didnât know any escape techniques, had to run all the way out of the Red Willow Mountain Range.
Did she think that was easy?
âHow was it?â Zhao Yuntong said abruptly.
âHow was what?â
âI said Iâd deal with that tomb general in three movesâand I did.â
âHeh, youâve got the nerve to say that? Look at what state your corpse body is in.â
âThis is my body.â
âItâs mine now.â
Hearing this, a trace of satisfaction flashed through Zhao Yuntongâs eyes. Her ears flushed red, and she seemed to drift into a daze.
âWhat about that woman?â
âCheng Hua? Taken back by her sect.â
âGood that sheâs gone. That woman was an eyesore⊠werenât you planning to join Canglan Mountain?â
âNo rush for that right now.â
Fang Chang focused on treating the wounds.
Fortunately, he had gathered enough herbs recently, and the Tai Sui red flesh, naturally formed, could nourish and repair even a Yin Corpse body.
The Corpse Refinement Path Class System was tyrannical beyond measure.
Even as a Yin Corpse,
blood qi flowed on its own, meridians faintly appeared, circulation turned subtlyâaside from the pale bluish-white skin, it was no different from a living person.
Repairing wounds like this was far less troublesome than with ordinary Corpse Puppets.
ââŠAlright. For now, stay in the coffin and recover. You saw the backdoor I left you, right? If youâre bored, come out and chat with me.â
At this moment, Zhao Yuntong lay on the bed.
Her clothes had loosened, revealing her entire waist and abdomen.
The fairy who had fought like a mad dog was not the type with sharply defined abs and extremely low body fat.
Though there was a faint outline of abdominal muscles,
overall it was soft, with a thin layer of muscle. When lying down, it sank slightly, spreading into a pale expanse.
The areas coated with medicine glistened with moisture, making that patch of skin look like congealed milk.
Her navel was a slender line,
running vertically at the center of her abdomenânarrow, tapering to a point like a stroke carved by a willow leaf.
Hearing him,
Zhao Yuntongâs soft, alluring eyes lifted as she shifted slightly to the side.
âAm I the one bored and wanting to chat, or are you the one bored and lonely? You look pretty lonely to me.â
The soft flesh of her pale abdomen trembled slightly.
Above thatâfar too full.
Her loosened collar piled to the sides, unable to conceal the contours beneath. From the side, they drooped heavily, pressing the fabric into slanted folds.
But below, her waist narrowed sharply.
So slender it seemed as if someone had gripped it hard, forming a startling curve.
Soft folds gathered at her sides, flesh-toned, tempting to grasp.
Fang Chang showed no expression.
âStop acting seductive in front of me. Do you think I fall for that?â
âIâve never acted like this in front of other men. You placed Yin-Nurturing Talismans on both my front and rear yin pointsâyou should know my Primal Yin is still intact.â
âSpeaking of Yin-Nurturing Talismans, it hasnât been long since you became a corpse. Donât tear them off.â
âGot it~â
Zhao Yuntong saw Fang Chang staring intently at her body.
Though she no longer had a heartbeat, she still felt her chest pounding.
She licked her lips,
hooking her collar open to reveal more of her smooth skin.
âIn your spare time, want to try what a Yin Corpse feels like?â
Fang Chang suddenly let out a snort of laughter and picked her up.
A flash of delight crossed Zhao Yuntongâs eyes. Her lotus-like arms wrapped around his neck as her stunning face leaned forward.
Her lips parted slightly, her pink tongue just peeking out like the tip of a budding lotus.
Their lips were about to meetâ
then suddenly pulled apart.
Zhao Yuntong realized she had been placed inside the coffin.
âWhat do you mean by this?â
âGet in the coffin and recover.â
Her expression immediately darkened.
Women had thin skinâafter such an invitation, rejection would sharply sour relations.
âThose dog eyes of yours keep drifting into my collar, and now youâre pretending to be a gentleman?â
Fang Chang ignored her.
Bangâthe coffin lid closed, and the candle was extinguished.
Carrying a coffin over mountain roads for half a dayâŠ
Forcing the Third Realm Blood Gold Pill multiple timesâŠ
Stalling at the instance exit with Cloud Steps for half an hourâŠ
Entering a divine state to save Dai BojunâŠ
He was only a newly initiated Qi Absorption cultivator, not some superhuman.
Todayâs events had been numerous and mentally exhausting.
Fang Changâs foundation was ultimately too weak.
He truly had no energy left to deal with Zhao Yuntong.
Not long after lying down, even breathing sounds came from the bed.
âŠ
Moonlight seeped through the window cracks.
Clickâ
The coffin lid lifted slightly, revealing a pair of crimson eyes filled with anger.
Zhao Yuntong flipped out of the coffin and silently stood by the bed.
Fang Chang slept deeply, his brows slightly furrowed. His handsome yet gloomy face lacked the frivolity and confidence he showed when awake.
She leaned down, her hair falling beside his pillow.
Closer⊠even closerâŠ
Feeling his warm breath brush against her cheek,
the fire in Zhao Yuntongâs lower abdomen burned even more fiercely.
Her cheeks flushed as she pressed her nose and lips gently against his neck.
The sound of breathing in the room grew heavier.
âMine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine⊠I belong entirely to you⊠so you should entirely belong to me as wellâŠâ
âŠ
âŠ
Cheng Hua struggled to open her eyes.
Coldâpiercingly cold.
Completely different from the warmth of the dream just now.
Fang Changâs sleeping face remained vivid in her mind, along with the faint scent of vegetation on himâit felt as though she had just experienced it moments ago.
In the dream,
Cheng Hua felt her heart pounding as if it would leap out of her chest.
Her usually calm and still emotions surged and expanded, rising together with her heartbeat.
That emotion crowded upward, from her heart to her throat, making it impossible to suppressâready to burst forth.
In the dream, she kissed Fang Chang.
In their entanglement, she advanced domineeringly.
A burning sensation spread from her throat, igniting her emotions, flowing downward to her lower abdomen, blooming even more intenselyâŠ
Afterward, she became like an animal overflowing with maternal affection.
Like a mother cow licking her newborn calf, she accepted and embraced him without restraintâŠ
But as she woke now,
all emotions vanished in an instant.
Only the lingering warmth on her tongue remained.
Cheng Hua raised her head.
Cold wind seeped through the window cracks.
Everything in the Canglan Mountain disciplesâ quarters felt unfamiliarâ
leaving behind only an inexplicable emptiness.
