Inside the grand hall, a delicate and frail young woman had her clothes removed by someone, her nearly perfect body left completely exposed.
“Mm, not bad. Every part is perfect.” Frost’s gaze wandered over Su Mo several times before she finally exclaimed in admiration.
Su Mo was grinding his teeth, feeling both humiliated and furious. Who would have thought that Frost, who seemed so kind and gentle on the surface, was actually a pervert behind closed doors? Staring was one thing, but she even had the nerve to touch.
A full three hundred and sixty degrees, not a single blind spot!!!
You’re so beautiful yourself, so why isn’t being self-sufficient good enough for you? Why do you have to crave me so badly?
Sure enough, when people have nothing better to do after a good meal, they always end up chasing thrills.
“Don’t look at me like that. I’m a beauty, so naturally, I don’t want you to have any flaws.” Frost said casually, then scooped Su Mo up by the waist and carried him to the bedroom behind the main hall.
The bedroom was huge, very luxurious, and classical in style.
Right in the center of the room was a bathing pool over ten meters long and wide. It was covered with flower petals, and a faint, delicate fragrance filled the entire room along with the steam. The atmosphere was perfect.
“Wait, you’re serious about this!”
Ignoring his protests, Frost gently laid him down on her bed and tucked him in.
After doing that, she softly lifted his chin and, with her face less than an inch from his, whispered, “Be a good boy and wait for me. I’ll be right back.”
Su Mo’s throat began to bob up and down, and he could clearly taste a salty, metallic tang.
For a young man in his twenties, just how powerful the pull of this series of actions combined with that last seductive murmur can be—only those who’ve experienced it truly understand.
He closed his eyes in despair, quietly waiting for the storm to hit, worried that any useless resistance might just stir up the beast in her even more.
“Just think of it as a dream…”
The wait was agonizing. The moment the covers were lifted was even more agonizing. When her fingertips touched his skin, Su Mo couldn’t help but let out a delicate whimper. His body trembled slightly, and his brows furrowed tightly together.
“Go easy in a bit…” He sounded like a helpless, pitiful soul, pleading his final request.
His consciousness was like duckweed in the rain, drifting and floating, occasionally smacked over by a raindrop with a sudden plop, teetering on the edge, finally surfacing again, only to be knocked back down.
( ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ωᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀ )
What exactly happened next, Su Mo didn’t feel much of. All he knew was that his breathing was very fast, so fast he felt like he might suffocate. His face was burning hot, so hot it felt like it might drip blood. His body was tense, trembling the whole time…
After who knows how long, a feeling of warmth came over him. It seemed like he was in water. Su Mo slowly opened his misty eyes, and the first thing he saw was Frost’s breathtakingly beautiful face.
“…All done?” His voice was soft and sticky, carrying a sense of helpless brokenness.
Frost gently stroked his cheek, smiling without saying a word.
Finally, she couldn’t hold it in any longer. Covering her mouth, she burst out laughing. “You’re such a drama queen! I carried you from the bed to the bath, and it only took about twenty seconds. You act like I did something terrible to you. Look how nervous you got.”
“Huh?” Su Mo snapped back to reality. He was stunned for a full five seconds, then suddenly cursed under his breath.
This woman tricked me!
She made a fool of me, and I was like a silly idiot for her to watch for twenty seconds.
But those twenty seconds felt so incredibly long…
If there weren’t any seams in this bathing pool, he would have definitely tried to crawl into one. This was way too embarrassing…
“Sigh, you’re so young. What’s going on in that head of yours? I really don’t get it.” A faint blush appeared on Frost’s face, making her look even more lovely.
She fixed Su Mo, who couldn’t move, into place in the pool, then slowly began to remove her own clothes.
“Hey, hey, hey…”
Since they were standing face to face, Su Mo instinctively opened his eyes as wide as they could go, then shut them. After a moment, his eyelids started twitching uncontrollably, and in the end, he narrowed them just a tiny bit, leaving a small slit…
“Pfft, adding more drama for yourself.” Frost didn’t know Su Mo’s true identity, so she had no reservations. She stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Su Mo, and then guided his hands to hug her back.
Su Mo: o(*////▽////*)q
“Calm your mind and quiet your heart. It’ll be over soon, don’t be nervous.” Frost comforted him in a soft voice.
But the more she comforted him, the more nervous Su Mo got.
Thump, thump, thump…
His heart felt like it was about to leap right out of his chest. The frequency and force of its beating grew stronger and stronger, making Frost exclaim in admiration, “Such a powerful heart. Your vitality is truly amazing.”
The two looked into each other’s eyes, their noses sometimes gently touching, sometimes pulling away.
Suddenly, a stream of light began to flow out from Frost’s purple eyes. It wound and twisted like a small snake, slowly entering Su Mo’s eyes. He didn’t feel much, aside from his gaze becoming dazed.
Gradually, Su Mo’s flushed cheeks began to return to normal, and his tense muscles slowly relaxed. His whole body finally let go.
Frost was in the exact same state as him.
Over an hour later, both of them showed pained expressions at the same time. But it was then that the water in the pool began to boil.
The vapor rising from the water didn’t dissipate into the air. Instead, it drifted in thin wisps into both of their eyes, which immediately eased their discomfort.
This process lasted about ten minutes. The water level, originally at Su Mo’s collarbone, slowly dropped by about five centimeters.
Another hour passed, and the two again showed pained expressions. The water boiled once more, lasting another ten minutes.
This cycle repeated a full six times. The water level had dropped to his ribs. Yet still, there were no signs of them waking up.
Suddenly, Su Mo’s left eyelid twitched, and the purple light in his eyes gradually faded.
At almost the same time, Frost’s right eyelid also trembled.
…
In the endless, pitch-black darkness, a single point of light was exceptionally conspicuous.
It was a young boy, his whole body shimmering with golden light. He was groping blindly in the chaos, like a lone boat adrift on the waves—desolate and lonely.
He stared at his own hands repeatedly, then, as he looked, he actually laughed out loud. “This is my original body. This is my original body!”
This boy was Su Mo. He didn’t know where this place was, but he vaguely felt it must have something to do with Frost. He tried to pinch his own cheek hard, but his hand passed right through.
“Could this be my soul?”
His master had mentioned that a person’s soul resides in the Sea of Spirit. Before reaching B-rank, this sea is just a formless chaos. Only by carving out a small spiritual world within this chaos can one complete the transformation and break through to B-rank.
And the environment he was in right now—nothing but chaos everywhere—really did seem like the way his master had described it.
But what did the king of the Heavenly Demon clan mean by suddenly making his consciousness appear here?
Wait a minute… She’s trying to take over my body!
Su Mo suddenly understood. “Hong mentioned something before about ‘finding a vessel for my king.’ Unfortunately, I only paid attention to that old woman’s line about ‘what an adult should do,’ and it completely misled me. I thought…”
He covered his face and sighed. “Oh well, I couldn’t fight back then anyway. Whether I noticed it or not doesn’t matter now. The most urgent thing is to figure out how to stop Frost… pfft, Shuang, stop her from possessing me.”
He cupped his hands around his mouth and tried to shout loudly, only to find there wasn’t even an echo.
“Strange, how is this…” Su Mo’s brow furrowed deeper and deeper. Then, in the direction he was looking, a golden light approached from far away. It was Frost, her entire body glowing with gold.
“Phew, I finally found you…” Frost started to speak, but her expression immediately froze on her face. Staring in astonishment at the little golden figure before her, she rubbed her eyes and said in shock, “Y-Your soul… why is it male?”
Su Mo didn’t plan to explain, so he just stayed silent. But to his surprise, instead of getting angry, Frost’s eyes actually lit up. “A man… I’ve actually seen a legendary man, and he’s alive, too!”
