Chapter 827 (1/2)

She was exhausted, but her mind was clearer than ever.

Although she rarely interacted with others.

But at this point, Phoenix already knew what he was up to.

She never thought that he would have such intentions toward her.

However, how the matter escalated had challenged the limit of her imagination.

“Let go…” When Phoenix said this, the scythe on the ground reformed to its shape using the Light of Buddha, but it could not return back to its master’s hand.

The man chuckled, but then he actually got up and even adjusted his clothing. He stared at her with a condescending look, the corner of his mouth curving into a slight smirk, “I never coerce people. Phoenix, I’ll count to 10, and if you manage to get out of here, I will not continue with this; but if you fail to do so, you cannot resist me anymore. How about it? Would you like to place your bet? You will be safe and sound if you win, and if you lose, all you have to do is to complete one of the tasks in the manual. Don’t you enjoy completing the task in the manual?”

Phoenix stared at him for a while, “Fine.”

Anyway, at this point, this was the only way out. She propped herself up on the wooden chair using her fingers as she tried to stand up. Although she was not longing for anything unlike being drugged, she had broken the precepts of Buddhism when she tasted meat, and because of this, the punishment from the heavens had simply left her with no strength.

After some time, she finally managed to pick herself up, but she fell back into the chair again because she could not support herself.

It was as if her wings had been stripped from her, and anyone could lay their hands on her with ease at this very moment.

She thought he would take this opportunity to humiliate her.

But just before she fell back into the chair, he held onto her waist to ensure that no harm would come to her.

With his help, Phoenix was then able to stand still.

“One.” The man let go of her, and started to count in a deep voice.

Phoenix’s eyes were fixated on the barrier which was only four steps away. As long as she could concentrate all her strength into this, she should be able to leave the barrier when he counted to 10.

“Two” The man did not move closer, instead, he just stood behind her while counting the numbers.

Phoenix stepped forward, and then she lifted her right leg. If she kept this going, it would be faster for her to move.

“Three.”

Phoenix had taken the third step. There was only one more step to go. She would be able to escape by taking just one more step.

However, just when she was about to step out of the barrier, the man pulled her back. After all this time, the heat that radiated from his body did not subside at all, instead it was poking at her waist more rampantly now. He then pressed his lips to her ear and murmured with a s.e.xy hoa.r.s.e voice, “Ten.”

What? Phoenix looked back at him and her finger pressed him hard, “I always knew that the Emperor was shameless, but I never thought that you would be so shameless to this extent.”

The man smiled, he did not give the slightest care about the scars that she had left on him. With some strength, he pinned her back onto the bench, “Phoenix, in this world, the winner takes it all, it has nothing to do with shamelessness. Be good, save your energy for later, say, moaning. Although I like how soft you look right now, what I would like is to hear your voice…”

The heat once again rekindled her l.u.s.t, but they had changed positions. His hand was restraining her wrists, overflowing her with kisses more than he did just now, not giving her a second to breathe.
