"Qiu'er isn't like me; she can't handle your tossing and turning. If you really want to mess around, just mess with me instead."
Gu Yue was unnaturally calm, as if she had already resigned herself to fate, carrying a sense of weary acceptance. Hearing this, Kong Mingan raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of surprise: "Oh? From what you're saying... you're agreeing to let me make a move on Qiu'er?"
"Hehe..."
Gu Yue's gaze fell on Kong Mingan, looking at him as if he were some kind of trash with a bit of disdain. But in the end, she let out a soft sigh, reached out to hug his arm, leaned in close, and gently rubbed against him with a strange sense of helplessness. "As if you wouldn't really make a move even if I didn't agree."
"No, I've been strictly following the terms of our contract, okay? Qiu'er can testify to that." Kong Mingan tried to prove his innocence. "Heh, does it make a difference to you whether you're proactive or not?" Gu Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, her purple eyes glaring at him. "If you really wanted to, could Qiu'er even escape?"
Kong Mingan was momentarily speechless. He couldn't entirely refute those words, as the initiative did largely lie in his hands. Seeing him stumped, the small sense of triumph Gu Yue felt from scoring a point hadn't even fully surfaced before her body honestly couldn't take it anymore. She still tried her best to maintain a cold and aloof posture, yet her body unconsciously leaned closer to him, her soft curves snuggling tightly against him. Behind her, the silver dragon tail, more honest than her body, poked out from under her skirt. As if it had a mind of its own, it flexibly coiled around both their waists, pulling them even closer until there was no gap between them. She wasn't truly foolish; she had thought a lot while they were chatting earlier. The fact that the Spirit Beast Clan could enjoy such unprecedented prosperity and development was almost entirely due to this man's efforts. Ever since signing that contract, which she considered humiliating, although she had been bullied quite a bit, in all fairness, this guy was impeccable when it came to fulfilling the contract and helping the Spirit Beast Clan—he had even far exceeded expectations. Her strength being able to recover so quickly to a First-Level Deity, the Energy supply, the cultivation system, and even the 'God Kingdom'"
"—its tempering and refinement were all fully supported by this guy. How many years had it been since they met? From being heavily injured and on the brink of death to now returning to a First-rank Deity and even having hope of returning to a God King, objectively speaking, it was all thanks to him. Otherwise, she might still be sleeping under the Lake of Life, clutching the gold of life, and perhaps she would still be a Second-Tier Deity even after another ten thousand years. Calculating it this way, putting aside those strange additional clauses, this guy... was actually quite decent. And since Qiu'er likely wouldn't be able to escape anyway, rather than resisting, she might as well just go with it. At least, with her around, if Qiu'er couldn't handle his bullying, she could always step in for her and let Qiu'er suffer a bit less. After all, this guy clearly preferred bullying her. At most, she would just have to work a bit harder. Since she had already been eaten inside and out by him, one more time or one less time didn't make a difference. It was better to just lie flat and cooperate; after all, it felt quite comfortable..."
Thinking of this, Gu Yue felt a strange sense of relief in her heart, as if her body had become lighter and she had relaxed quite a bit. But a moment later, she thought of something else and couldn't help but speak in a low, slightly depressed voice: "I should have realized it sooner... I was so stupid back then to agree to those conditions. If you really wanted to... even if I blocked my senses and treated myself like a doll, you probably have plenty of ways to make me feel like I'm dying, right?"
"Your target was me from the very beginning, and Qiu'er just happened to get caught in your sights—it was completely incidental?"
Kong Mingan held her gently, his palm slowly stroking between her smooth back and delicate dragon scales, feeling that unique cool and resilient texture. He gave a soft laugh: "What do you think?"
Gu Yue gave a light snort, having already received a silent confirmation in her heart. She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her cheeks, her voice carrying a trace of imperceptible daze: "Tell me, if I had proactively given myself to you from the start, would everything have been different?"
If that were the case, this guy certainly wouldn't have had the Energy to care about Qiu'er's matters, and naturally, those things that happened to Qiu'er later wouldn't have occurred. And she, perhaps, could have adapted earlier, or even completely occupied everything about him?
Kong Mingan's movement of stroking the Dragon King Young Miss's tail paused slightly. He thought for a moment and answered somewhat uncertainly, "Probably, I suppose?"
Gu Yue's gaze was complex. She didn't speak again, only burying her face deeper into the crook of his neck, her thoughts unknown. Kong Mingan didn't say anything either, just holding her gently and feeling the warmth in his arms. After a while, he said slowly, "Alright, that's enough for now. We have to go to the Demon Plane in a few days."
Gu Yue paused slightly upon hearing this and couldn't help but give his shoulder a bite, neither too hard nor too soft, leaving his shoulder covered in saliva. She said in a muffled voice, "It's all because you keep wasting time!"
Kong Mingan chuckled: "I wonder who it is that sits on me every time without a care in the world, then proactively starts kissing and biting me..."
"Shut up!" Gu Yue snapped in embarrassment, her face flushing red. "It's all because of you, you bastard..."
She subconsciously reminisced, feeling a bit of a headache. Sometimes, when she got worked up, she felt like she wasn't herself anymore. Whatever this guy told her to do, she would foolishly and obediently do it...
Dammit! It must be because my cultivation is sealed! If my full strength were there, and I maintained the clarity and self-control of a First-Level Deity, I certainly wouldn't be so pathetic!
Thinking of this, Gu Yue immediately found a reason and confidence. She looked up, her eyes carrying a hint of provocation as she looked at Kong Mingan: "If you have the guts, release the restrictions on me! Let's have a fair showdown!"
Kong Mingan shook his head without hesitation, his tone carrying a bit of rogue-like righteousness: "I bullied you with my own skills, why should I release the restrictions just so I can't bully you anymore?"
"You...!" Gu Yue was exasperated and wanted to say more, but in the next moment, her words were blocked again. The laughing voice followed a step behind, arriving late: "I'll bully you one more time."
Her consciousness blurred once more. Gu Yue's heart was filled with a mix of grief and indignation, and she secretly vowed that once she also returned to the God King level, she would definitely settle all these scores! When that time came, she would surely knock this guy to the ground and bully him back ruthlessly!
But unfortunately, just as this indignant thought flashed by, her increasingly honest body had already skillfully wrapped around his neck. She slightly adjusted her legs, pressing her whole being tightly against him. Her movements were smooth and natural, as if they had been repeated thousands of times. A moment later, that suppressed whimpering sound quietly echoed in the room once again, lingering for a long time.
