Standing within a wooden house situated on the outskirts of the lower town’s central hub, a woman appeared to be consumed by a sense of anguish.
Despite her eyes being able to perceive only darkness and nothing else, her hands tightly clenched her robe with delicate fingers quivering in sync with her rapidly racing heartbeat.
‘…I don’t want to die’, The woman’s eyes in that dimly lit world fell to the ground as she listened to the man’s words. She slowly untied the robe, letting it slide down past her waist. The fabric, which had seemed to cling tightly to her body, now opened up, creating space for her bare skin to be exposed in front of the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but lust.
“Now sit down” Ryuk had already arrived behind her, not caring about her now undressed front as her fabric slid down to her waist, revealing her bare, milky white skin, his gaze lingered on the delicate curve of her spine adorned with graceful lines that defined her form but calmly focused on his task, he commanded inwardly,’Show me the acupoints’
[Host, the areas are highlighted.]
With that monotonic voice reverberating inside his mind, several vein-shaped lines formed on Zhen Xiang’s back, tracing several veins on that spotless, smooth skin.
“I- I…” Clasping the last bit of fabric around her waist, she slowly leaned forward with her lips pressed together, leaving behind a faint mark of her teeth. Despite her trembling legs, she maintained a composed facade as she gracefully sat down in a lotus position, letting the remaining clothing fall to the ground.
“It will hurt, but control your cries since it will only increase,” Ryuk, well aware of the meaning behind his words being taken even more wrongly, yet seeing the lack of time, wanted to deal with her and leave this place.
Now that it was clear that Liu Wei had gone to the upper town, then it was also true that he would one day come down to bring his childhood friend with him.
But what will happen when he finds out his childhood friend is talking about another man?
He naturally desired to heal her for his personal gratification, but his motive extended beyond that. Understanding that during moments of desperation, the first hand grasped onto remains etched in the mind, leaving an indelible mark of both the despair and the touch.
And in this case, it will be him who healed her.
Considering all factors—the potential for her to become a heroine, Liu Wei’s survival, and the chances of a villainess becoming even more evil—the odds of this woman recovering her seals were promising, albeit requiring some time.
So why not leave a memory of himself with her.
“Just do it” The woman clenched her eyes shut, anticipating the first touch. She could feel the burning sensation of humiliation as her fingers rested on her thighs, leaving a mark that soon caused tiny droplets of blood to trickle from nail marks.
‘?!’
Suddenly, she experienced the sensation of a warm and strong finger gently stroking her back, following the contours of her spine in a way that left her feeling disoriented. The finger’s slightly higher temperature compared to her body’s warmth prompted her to ask about its origin,”Y-young Master—IEEEK?!”
swish
“Ahhh! It hurts!” Suddenly a pain shot through her body as the finger pressed deeper into her skin. She bit her lip to stifle a scream, feeling as if a hot burning iron rod was pressed against her skin. The intense heat radiated through her, causing her muscles to tense up involuntarily.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall, gritting her teeth with widened eyes. With every fiber of her being, she fought against the searing pain, knowing that she can’t die like this. “Please stop, I don’t want to die.”
“I already told you it will hurt, don’t cry now, You will not die trust me” Ryuk calmly stated with his aura directly piercing through the veins, which were clogged due to the seal. His energy formed the path while burning away the remnants of energy that kept the veins sealed, even after all these years.
Despite the differing properties of the two energies, the Ether’s high density and the meticulous control with which it was injected into her veins naturally had a significant effect on her body, eliminating the remaining energy that was sustaining her illness.
“No, please, it hurts! Ahhh!” After hearing her pleas, he seemed determined not to back down but rather escalated the power of his energy. Ignoring her cries, he concentrated on the mission, letting his energy gradually dissolve the seal.
As each moment passed, her pain grew stronger, consuming her mind with an intense agony. Her cries echoed through the small wooden house and its surroundings, chilling the animals that were the sole inhabitants of the area.
As the last remnants of Gaia’s diminishing light disappeared into the moon’s embrace, the gentle moonlight descended onto the nearby pond and filtered through the window of the wooden house.
Inside, a woman struggled to maintain control of her consciousness, fighting against the inevitable pull of eternal slumber.,’I..can’t….die’
DING!
[ Nods are completely open. Healing can be initiated.]
‘Do it,’ Ryuk commanded inwardly, retracting his fingers slowly from their position while turning towards the window of the wooden house. He sensed the presence of someone very familiar approaching his direction. ‘She seems to be jumping around quickly.’
His gaze shifted towards the wooden window, a gentle smile forming on his lips as he recalled a particular woman who owned an artifact that granted her the ability to teleport over 100 miles with a black tiara. However, it was clear that her energy was dwindling to keep up with her quick movements.
[Initiating Healing….]
“I-i don’t wa-nt to—” The woman had been repeating the same words for the past three hours, her eyes tightly shut as she endured the pain. Tear stains covered her face, but her words were cut off by him.
“Open your eyes, it’s done” Ryuk, upon hearing her words, reminded her about the solution to her present state, making it clear that there was no need for her to be anxious and tremble like that.
‘Is it finally done?’ With her eyelid slowly lifting to reveal the tear-marked reddened eyes, suddenly the sensation of light passing through her pupils and directly landing on her retina caused a visible contraction of eye nerves. A blinding white light, instead of her usual black, caused her hands to instinctively come forward with confusion. “What’s this?!”
Seeing something for the first time, her eyes struggled to process the vibrant, unfamiliar world around her. Fatigued senses barely managed to turn towards the light. She blinked, allowing her retina to acclimate before eventually focusing on a wooden wall.
She was uncertain if it was truly made of wood or if this location existed solely in her imagination, as previously, she had only experienced the sounds and voices of individuals in her dreams, without the ability to see them.
“I healed your eyes, now you will not gking to fall from some buildinh” Reverted a voice that, unlike before, also carried a presence she was able to see. A man leaned with a small smile, his black mask hiding his face with only amber eyes visible. They were captivating enough to enchant anyone, but now they widened in surprise as the woman hastily reacted.
Not caring about her naked body which went through wrenching pain, the woman lunged at the man in front of her in a black robe. Her clothes had fallen, with the moonlight revealing her pink cherries on two soft plump breats that were jiggling due to gravity. Her lower body carried a soft curve at the waist, with a soft puffy labia peeking from beneath them. She stretched her arms towards the man before embracing him, and finally broke into tears. “waahhhh..Thank you! Sob, sob!”
Thud!
Due to her body being weak, her legs gave out in the middle and she fell, but her hand managed to reach the man’s shoulder. Ryuk, knowing that she was weak, leaned forward and caught her in a hug as she cried with her body pressed against his. “Thank you… thank you Young Master, thank you!”
In this moment, Ryuk, holding her naked body, thought about a scene which had the highest probability to occur right now, considering that someone was heading in his direction at this moment too. He said, “Calm yourself, there’s no need for you to react this way.”
“Waahh…!” Zheng Xiang, who had for the first time seen this world through her blind eyes, was filled with inexplicable emotions swirling into a tornado inside her mind. She clenched the fur on the back of the man who helped her, not caring about her present state, and kept weeping and crying. Her tears of joy seemed to surpass even the limits of her earlier torments.
“This—” Before Ryuk could say something.
Bam!
“Finally found you!” Esme, who had just arrived at the door after kicking it open, first thing her eyes caught was a naked woman pressing her body over none other than a man who glanced back at Esme with a look that seemed to say:: Nope, it’s obviously a misunderstanding.
