Witch, don't do anything reckless!

Chapter 57 Chu Wanqing's Submission

"You can't kill me!"

Chu Wanqing's expression finally changed when the cold blade pierced through the red fabric and she could clearly feel the chill in her chest.

At this moment, she no longer harbored any illusions.

That bastard, does he really want to kill her?!

Stun, anger, disbelief—and the fear of facing death welled up inside me.

Chu Wanqing bit her lower lip hard, staring at the heartless man before her: "If I die, you won't live either!"

Seemingly humiliated, Chu Wanqing said indignantly, "I bear a mark left by my master—if anything happens to me, this mark will immediately lock onto your presence!"

"My master will definitely not let you off the hook then!"

At this point, Chu Wanqing no longer cared about losing face—she had originally been unwilling to speak. After all, having just descended the mountain to venture into the martial world for experience, it would be rather embarrassing to bring up her sect's background when encountering danger.

But right now, it's not a matter of losing face anymore!

This guy is determined to kill her. If Chu Wanqing doesn't speak up soon, she might not survive!

Li Chuqiu paused, staring suspiciously at the beautiful and alluring fox spirit before her: "Are you trying to scare me?"

"I'm not trying to scare you."

Chu Wanqing gritted her teeth. At this moment, she felt that the bastard in front of her was not good-looking at all—no wonder her master had repeatedly told her since she was a child that she must never believe a man's lies.

But to her surprise, she still fell for it!

Chu Wanqing was filled with regret.

"The mark is a unique ability of our fox demon clan. If you kill me today, my master will surely seek revenge on you in the future."

"You won't survive that time either!"

"You were just trying to scare me!"

Li Chuqiu remained expressionless. At the same time, she lightly stabbed with her dagger, and the tip of the blade immediately sank deeply into a full and soft spot.

The red fabric seemed to be made of a special material, as it was not pierced!

Even so, the chill still sent a shiver down Chu Wanqing's spine.

I'm so ashamed!

"you----"

Chu Wanqing blushed with embarrassment, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid with anger, her chest heaving up and down, and the icy chill in her chest intensifying.

Li Chuqiu stared at her and sneered, "If I don't kill you now, will you spare me after you get out of here?"

Chu Wanqing bit her lip: "Yes!"

"If you let me go this time, we'll wipe the slate clean of our past grievances—I promise I'll never bother you again!"

"But I don't believe it."

Chu Wanqing was so angry she was about to explode, her pretty face turning bright red.

Why are you even talking about it?

"We are, after all, different beings—human and demon. I am human, you are a demon, and demons have always been treacherous. You won't believe me, and I won't believe you," Li Chuqiu said, looking at her. "Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to kill you!"

Chu Wanqing retorted angrily, "If you kill me now, you'll die anyway!"

"If I don't kill you, you'll kill me anyway."

"I already said I can't!"

I don't believe it.

Chu Wanqing broke down: "Then what exactly do you want?"

Li Chuqiu did not speak.

He stared expressionlessly at the enchantress before him, not missing a single subtle change in her face—was this enchantress deceiving him?

Or is there some kind of mark on her body?

Killing her would really invite that old monster's revenge?

This demoness's master was naturally the patriarch of the fox demon clan.

Li Chuqiu had heard of that person's background; he had trained two Holy Maidens and was said to have lived for over a hundred years, making him an absolute old monster.

He was already a powerful being in the Upper Three Realms a hundred years ago.

Now, their strength has only become more terrifying!

This was what Li Chuqiu truly feared—if he didn't kill her, the consequences would be endless. But killing her could very well bring about his own demise.

Li Chuqiu could not withstand the revenge of a powerful being in the Upper Three Realms no matter what.

Even if it were Deputy Commander Liu, it wouldn't work—unless you could summon Deputy Commander Liu's father or her master.

But that's clearly wishful thinking!

Li Chuqiu suddenly realized that he was now in a dilemma.

Inside the underground palace.

A brief silence fell.

The dim lighting made it seem like a closed space, causing both of them to breathe rapidly.

Chu Wanqing, pale-faced and limp, leaned against the stone wall and sat down. Li Chuqiu squatted in front of her, the dagger in her hand still precisely positioned on her chest, near her heart, pressing slightly.

With a little force, he could pierce her heart!

Her life was hanging by a thread, at this moment, in the hands of the other party.

But this scene, while seemingly dangerous, also carries a touch of eroticism.

The two locked eyes, as if engaged in some intense struggle.

Until, for a long time.

Chu Wanqing finally gritted her teeth and said, "I have another idea."

"What?"

"Since you're worried that I'll seek revenge after I recover, let's plant a bond of mutual understanding between us!"

"Concentric Seal?"

Li Chuqiu stared at her: "What's that?"

"This is a secret technique of my fox demon clan. Once this seal is planted, both parties are of one mind. If one dies, the other will surely die as well!"

Chu Wanqing gritted her teeth, her face slightly flushed.

She naturally didn't mention that although the Heart Seal is a secret technique of the fox demon clan, it is usually only planted between husband and wife.

Right now, in order to survive and gain this guy's trust, Chu Wanqing had no other choice.

"That way, you won't have to worry about me retaliating anymore. After all, if you die, I'll die too!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chuqiu's eyes lit up.

There's such a secret technique?

It seems pretty good?

But soon, Li Chuqiu became wary again, saying, "If this 'Heart-to-Heart Seal' is planted, if you die, I will die too?"

"nature."

"That won't do!"

Li Chuqiu shook his head. This vixen is too dangerous. Who knows how many enemies she has made outside?

What if she were to be killed by someone outside someday, wouldn't he also suffer an undeserved disaster?

"So what do you want?!"

Chu Wanqing could easily see the caution in this guy's eyes.

She wasn't even worried that he, an ordinary person who couldn't cultivate, might be killed by someone one day.

She, a dignified holy maiden of the fox demon clan, doesn't mind at all, yet he still provokes her?

The Heart Seal is definitely out of the question; Li Chuqiu would never entrust his life to her.

Do you have any other secret techniques here that are effective only on one side?

Li Chuqiu looked at her: "It's the kind of relationship where if I die, you die too, but if you die, I won't be affected?"

"How could such a secret method exist?"

"Why isn't it there?"

Li Chuqiu thought for a moment: "It's probably something like a secret contract that establishes a master-servant relationship?"

"For example, what about a situation where a servant cannot kill their master, but the master can control the servant at any time?"

Chu Wanqing: "?"

"How could our fox demon clan possibly possess such a disgusting and perverted secret technique?"

Chu Wanqing's face flushed red, and she spat.

A servant?

Recognizing a master?

He's dreaming!

"It doesn't necessarily mean a sworn brotherhood, it's something like that—someone who can guarantee my safety, someone who won't kill me?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Wanqing seemed to realize something, her face turning even redder, and she immediately denied it, saying, "No!"

"Really not?"

"No!"

Chu Wanqing gritted her teeth.

"You're lying, it definitely exists, right?"

Li Chuqiu saw through the woman's lie at a glance; her reaction just now clearly indicated that she had thought of something.

Under Li Chuqiu's intense gaze, Chu Wanqing quickly became uncomfortable, her expression shifting. She turned her head away, gritting her teeth angrily, and said, "You might as well just kill me!"

She doesn't want to live anymore!

But Li Chuqiu had already keenly sensed that this enchantress was still hiding something—she must have even better secret techniques that she was unwilling to reveal.

"I suddenly feel like killing you directly might be a bit of a waste?"

Li Chuqiu's gaze then lingered on her body, the dagger that had been pressed against Chu Wanqing's chest sliding down, teasingly hooking onto her sash as if it might be pulled open at any moment—

"How about you let me have some fun first?"

Chu Wanqing's delicate body trembled violently, her pretty face instantly turning crimson: "You—!!"

Although she knew he was saying it on purpose, his words still sent shivers down her spine.

"Don't push your luck!"

"You're not human."

"Come here, let me see where your fox tail is. How many tails do you have? Is it pretty?"

"Let me touch it?"

"have!"

Chu Wanqing finally couldn't hold back and gave in.

She gritted her teeth and said, word by word, "There's another secret method!"

Li Chuqiu eagerly pressed, "What secret technique?"

"Take your dagger away!"

Chu Wanqing glanced at the unruly dagger, which had torn her clothes to a mess, and almost broke her teeth from biting it.

Li Chuqiu deftly moved the dagger away.

"You, extend one finger."

Extend your finger?

Li Chuqiu was slightly puzzled, but still cautiously extended her index finger and brought it close to Chu Wanqing.

Chu Wanqing stared at the finger, took a deep breath, as if she were going through some complicated psychological struggle.

Finally, she looked up at Li Chuqiu, her alluring peach blossom eyes filled with resentment.

She suddenly opened her mouth and bit down on Li Chuqiu's index finger with her silver teeth.

The next second, a slight pain came from my fingertip.

"hiss----"

Thanks to the body-tempering techniques and the absorption of demonic energy, his body was already incredibly strong and resilient. Yet, he never expected that this demoness would bite through his defenses?

Before Li Chuqiu could react, she felt a sucking sensation on her fingertips again.

The enchantress's full, red lips sucked on Li Chuqiu's finger, as if a drop of his life essence was being drawn away. The next instant, he felt a surge of hot energy flow into his body through his fingertip.

This warm, surging energy flowed through Li Chuqiu's body, eventually settling in his heart.

Li Chuqiu shuddered violently.

"you----"

Just as he was about to say something, he saw Chu Wanqing release his fingers, tilt her head back, and her entire face was already flushed, making her look stunning.

Her breathing quickened slightly, her red lips glistened, and she wiped her mouth in embarrassment and annoyance. Her alluring eyes glared angrily at Li Chuqiu, as if she had been taken advantage of.

"Are you satisfied now?!"

satisfaction?

Li Chuqiu cautiously sensed the changes within her body.

My index fingertip was bitten, but no blood flowed. All I felt was a strange, inexplicable sensation in my heart.

There seemed to be an extra pull from the darkness.

What is this?

"What did you do to me?"

Li Chuqiu looked suspicious.

"I made a pact with a drop of your blood essence; if I ever try to kill you, I will surely suffer the consequences!"

Chu Wanqing glared at him angrily, as if she had suffered a great injustice: "I can't kill you now, can you rest assured?!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chuqiu glanced down at her fingers again, still somewhat skeptical: "It's done already? You really can't kill me?"

The contract was established in just one move?

"If you don't believe me, give me the dagger, let me stab you a couple of times and see what happens."

Seeing the witch's gritted teeth, it seemed she really wanted to stab him twice.

Li Chuqiu thought about it and still didn't give her the chance.

He quietly sensed the sudden surge of warmth within him, attempting to control it. When he focused intently, holding his breath, and touched that guiding force—

"Um----"

Chu Wanqing, who had been filled with indignation, suddenly trembled as if stimulated by something, her face flushed, and her voice weak: "What are you doing?!"

Ok?

Is there a response?

Li Chuqiu kept an eye on her while trying it out again—

Chu Wanqing's face flushed even redder, her voice trembling slightly: "You—you bastard, don't touch me!"

This contract doesn't seem as simple as she described.

—It seems there are some other hidden features?

Li Chuqiu vaguely sensed a connection between that pulling aura and the enchantress before him. Could it be that the enchantress could sense it too when he touched it?

Heart to heart?

Just as Li Chuqiu was about to delve deeper into the study, Chu Wanqing erupted in fury: "If you dare touch it again, I'll take you down with me!"

Seeing that the enchantress was weak all over and blushing after he had teased her, Li Chuqiu stopped teasing her.

Once he confirmed that the demoness no longer posed a threat to him, he finally felt relieved.

"interesting."

"Are you satisfied now?"

Chu Wanqing's breathing quickened, and a mist rose in her alluring eyes.

She had never been as disheveled as she was today in her entire life.

Forced by this guy, she had no choice but to sign such a humiliating contract—though it wasn't exactly a slave contract. But for her, it was still a great disgrace.

But unfortunately, I can't kill him anymore!

This made Chu Wanqing even angrier and more aggrieved.

"Alright, stop looking so pitiful."

Seeing the enchantress so enraged, Li Chuqiu retorted confidently, "If I didn't do this, would you have let me go?"

"Now we're even, we owe each other nothing, and we'll keep to ourselves."

"You wish!"

Chu Wanqing was upset. Seeing how he had bullied her, did he now want to just wash his hands of it and settle things?

We're even?!

I don't think about it!

"I'll definitely pester you; you'll never have a moment's peace again. I'll bother you and make a scene every single day—"

Even if I can't kill you, I'll still disgust you to death!

Chu Wanqing spoke angrily.

It had a bit of a childish sulking tone to it, with its eyes wide open.

"Whatever you want."

Since this vixen could no longer kill him, why would Li Chuqiu be afraid of her?

Keep bothering him?

Did they come to me willingly?

—Then he won't hold back.

Just as the two were bickering, footsteps suddenly sounded from the dark passage not far from the underground palace.

The two fell silent almost simultaneously, exchanged a glance, and looked wary.

Another person has arrived?

The next second, a cold, aloof figure in green robes appeared inside the underground palace. Her graceful and alluring figure scanned the surroundings before settling on Li Chuqiu and Chu Wanqing not far away.

"Oh, a lone man and a lone woman, arguing here about love?"

The voice was soft, yet sarcastic.
