Chapter 64 : Another Type of Cultivation 13 (2/2)

The first reason was that Shi Sheng didn’t allow it and the second reason was that he was afraid of accidentally hurting her.

In that moment, Feng Ci could hear his heart thumping. Her soft body was hugged so tightly against him, she was nearly attached to his chest. He could feel her body’s warmth through the barrier of their clothing. It wasn’t just warm, it was boiling him up. ‘She is mine… All mine.’

Shi Sheng felt Feng Ci tightening his grip, causing her breathing to become more difficult. Her mind was starting to lose oxygen. She mustered up the strength to speak through gritted teeth, “Ah Ci…”

That weak voice was like a clear stream being poured into Feng Ci’s heart. He abruptly snapped from his trance, those dark-red eyes filled with confusion for a moment before he hurriedly released her. He looked at her at a loss for what to say or do. “Did I hurt you? Where does it hurt? …Don’t be angry. I- I won’t touch you in the future.”

Towards the end, Feng Ci’s expression turned a bit downcast. Shi Sheng heaved in large breaths. Only after she got some fresh air in her lungs did she feel a bit better. Her body was a bit weak but she didn’t dare to go near to Feng Ci. Her body retreated a step, and she supported herself against the stone wall outside the cave. ‘What the hell, that scared me to death! Can you at least give me a warning when you’re going to act up?’

Violent emotions surged in Feng Ci’s eyes when he saw her actions but he forcefully suppressed them. With a few hints of pleading, he spoke, “Don’t fear me…”

No one would be able to resist that helpless look. But Shi Sheng had nearly entered the gates of Hell back then, so she felt not taking out her Reaper’s Sword and hacking at him was already generous to the point she could become an angel.

After calming down her wildly beating heart, Shi Sheng felt her mind clear. ‘If I hadn’t resisted him, he probably wouldn’t have acted up… So that’s… my fault?’

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

‘How come it’s my fault now?! This quest is impossible! I give up!’

“You’re not allowed to touch me without my permission anymore.” Shi Sheng couldn’t speak out the harsh words on the tip of her tongue after seeing how adorably helpless he looked. She could only bitterly change her lines.

Feng Ci was a bit confused. He stared seriously at Shi Sheng for a while before nodding. “I won’t touch you. Don’t leave me.”

Shi Sheng was speechless. ‘Don’t phrase it like we have an ambiguous relationship! If I couldn’t get close to you in the first place, I wager you’d have fucking burnt me to ashes by now. Without a goddamn blink either.’

Feng Ci didn’t seem to have a moral compass but he didn’t seem to act based on his emotions either. Shi Sheng didn’t understand the reasons behind his actions. There wasn’t any rhyme or reason to when he decided to act.

By the time Shi Sheng turned back to look at the inside of the cave, the young woman had already turned into a dried-up corpse. And a cloud of black fog had appeared next to Ye Qingqiu. Half of it was still hovering over the dried-up corpse.

“What the… hell is that?!” ‘Ye Qingqiu didn’t seem to have this cheat with her in the original storyline though? Hey, don’t randomly add things to the script dammit!’

“Demon…” Feng Ci spoke in a low voice. “It’s the remnant soul of a Demon.”

‘Demon? No wait, where did Ye Qingqiu even get the remnant soul of a Demon?’

And as expected, Shi Sheng could hear the same disdain in Feng Ci’s voice that he showed on his expression at the competition today. It was as if Ye Qingqiu was a filthy thing that would dirty his eyes if he looked at her.

Although Feng Ci was a villain, but he at least belonged to the ‘righteous’ side so he had no sense of comradery to the elite bosses the Demon race are.
