I'm on the Ark, and I started as a succubus.

The Originium Arts failed to take effect, and Lin Yuxia only showed a brief look of astonishment on her face. Instead of retreating, she advanced, gripping her dagger-shaped staff and lunging forward.

Even without Originium Arts, she is a top-notch fighter, and even Chen Huijie might not be her match.

The dagger made a tearing sound like it was ripping silk as it slashed directly at Zao Lu's neck.

She spread her hands to block Lin Yuxia's wrist, then twisted and gripped the wrist holding the dagger. With a forceful tug, she flung Lin Yuxia onto the thick carpet behind her.

Zaoru is no longer the same Zaoru as before. Strictly speaking, she has now been upgraded to a different type: Taimanin Zaoru.

Against a Blood Demon Ninja with combat power at the level of a Blood Demon, it's impossible for a beautiful girl like Lin Yuxia, who is still in the mortal realm, to deal with him.

Since everyone is a beautiful girl, it's even, and there's no blessing specifically for beautiful girls.

'She looks like a fair-skinned, delicate noblewoman, so why is she so prickly?'

Lin Yuxia braced herself with one hand, spun half a circle, and planted her feet firmly on the ground. Her center of gravity sank rapidly, and she leaned forward, her posture resembling a cheetah pouncing as she continued to leap forward at high speed.

Zao Lu shrugged, making no move at all, and simply shook her head at Lin Yuxia with her cherry lips pursed.

Almost instantly, that extremely sharp sense of perception returned.

Lin Yuxia instantly felt an incredibly intense stimulation.

The black stockings that had been soaked through my legs were now stained with water droplets on the inside, a sensation that was both warm and cold, a feeling that stirred up a terrible storm in my mind.

The soft fabric against her skin brought a gentle yet extremely sticky sensation, causing her long, slender legs in black stockings to go weak and tremble. The intense discomfort made Lin Yuxia want to immediately reach out and scratch her skin to suppress the electric-like tingling and the pricking pain.

Her lotus-like feet, encased in high-heeled boots, were almost driven to the brink of madness by her rapid movements.

The heat was intense, and as her feet stomped on the ground, the heels of her boots seemed to transform into thick, menacing wooden sticks, relentlessly jabbing against the soles of her feet with each movement. The intense sensation, combined with the feeling of stepping on fire, made it feel as if a blazing, red-hot stick had pierced right through her soles.

"Oh oh oh ah, hiss... What, what is this?"

Lin Yuxia collapsed to the ground, spitting out large mouthfuls of fragrant orchids.

With a smile, Zao Lu walked up to her, squatted down, and lifted her chin. "This is punishment for being disobedient~"

243 The little mouse is doomed!

"Hiss... Hiss, what do you understand? I don't know what you're talking about."

Lin Yuxia covered her eyes with the back of her fair hand and breathed out fragrant breath.

The dazzling lights on the hall ceiling made it impossible for her to look directly at Zao Lu's face, or even open her eyes.

When you cover your eyes, it's as if you're plunged into endless darkness. After losing your sight, the sharpness of your other senses seems to become even more acute.

It hurts so much, it really hurts so much...

I desperately want to be free.

I long for happiness and joy.

In the darkness, Lin Yuxia felt that the breathing was frighteningly loud, like the low growl of a wild beast when it was under low pressure.

Deep, powerful, hoarse, and with a sharp edge.

It's like a cat hiding somewhere in the slums at night in Lungmen.

The eerie growl of a cat courting a mate.

Her heavy breathing sounded very similar to that voice, extremely similar.

Just like now, she was actually searching for something, lying on the roof and constantly letting out a low growl.

Like a wild beast—

— Pig Beast.

"What exactly do you want?"

Lin Yuxia breathed heavily, "No matter what you are, whether you're giant beasts or anything else, anything from this land, aren't you afraid of the Great Yan's retribution?"

"I'm not afraid."

Early dew brought this uninteresting topic to a close.

She picked up the limp and powerless Lin Yuxia and turned the pink-haired mouse, which was still trying to bluff, over.

"The little mouse is still not behaving at all~"

After turning Lin Yuxia over, Zao Lu grinned mischievously and crossed her legs, changing her position from a falling pose to kneeling on the table.

Snapped.

She raised her hand and slapped Lin Yuxia hard.

"Waaaaah!"

With her head held high, her fair and slender neck was almost taut and straight, forming a crescent shape. Lin Yuxia stared wide-eyed at her pink eyes and let out a sob full of bitterness.

The amplified senses bring with them an amplified suffering.

This level of pain is absolutely unbearable for a human being.

"Hmm~ Trying to scare me!"

Zao Lu raised her hand and slapped Lin Yuxia again.

"No, no...it hurts!"

"Have you forgotten something again?"

"Hiss... Stop it! Waaah, stop it, don't hit me... Sister."

"Hmm~"

Zao Lu hummed softly with satisfaction, "Wouldn't it have been better if you had just listened earlier? You have to suffer a bit before you'll learn to be a good girl."

"Ugh! You! Ugh—"

Lin Yuxia's pink eyes welled up with tears.

She didn't even bother to support herself on the table with her hands, and tried to prop herself up, pressing her cheeks against the table to support her entire body weight, and stretching her arms backward.

Her fair, delicate hands and jade-like fingers spread out, revealing palms tinged with orange and cherry pink. She crossed her hands, trying to block the early slap.

"Take your hand away."

Zao Lu crossed her arms and lowered her gaze to look at the pitiful Lin Yuxia.

Lin Yuxia dared not utter a word in rebuttal. Her head, which was lowered on the dining table, swayed gently as she silently shed tears, revealing a pleading expression.

Then, her eyes turned to terror.

whip.

A whip that exudes an extremely evil aura.

With a smile, Zao Lu slowly rolled the Pearl-Dropping Whip into her hand. She deliberately moved very slowly so that Lin Yuxia could clearly see her movements.

The meaning couldn't be clearer:

If you don't behave, then Sister Morning Dew will have to use this evil weapon to teach you a lesson!

More tears welled up in her beautiful pink eyes. Lin Yuxia kept moving her head, trying to refuse, but in the end, under Zao Lu's smiling gaze, she tremblingly moved her hand away.

"Great! That's how it should be. That's what a good, obedient baby should be like."

Early Dew placed the Pearl-Dropping Whip on the table and walked over to Lin Yuxia. "Big sister likes obedient and well-behaved little sisters~"

She pursed her cherry lips, then burst out laughing, reaching out to pinch Lin Yuxia's nose. "Okay, okay, I was just kidding~ Actually, I prefer the kind of tough, resolute type. Hmm... like that Texas guy, and that green-haired oni."

Like that idol from Dragon Gate, she suddenly burst into tears, did whatever she was told, and was utterly pointless, making it impossible for anyone to muster the energy to bully her.

Releasing her grip, Zao Lu walked back behind Lin Yuxia and slapped her again.

"Alright, Ms. Lin Yuxia. Let's play a little game. The game is called 'Hold On'~ You can't block or make a sound, otherwise..."

She drew out her words, a hint of mocking laughter in her voice, "You'll either go to hell, or you'll take off and fly to paradise right away~"

Lin Yuxia frowned in confusion.

An unprecedented fear suddenly appeared on her face.

Although she couldn't see behind her, she could still feel it—an incredibly hot and scalding breath.

An aura that seemed to emanate from the magma of the highest inferno.

The light cast shadows, and the dazzling light emanating from the enormous crystal chandelier on the ceiling seemed to be obscured by something terrifying.

A behemoth?

A little-known behemoth?

No, that aura was definitely not that of a giant beast.

Horrifying, ferocious, terrifying...

Demons... no, they are beings far more terrifying and frightening than demons, beings of a higher level, even supreme beings.

No, absolutely not... She, absolutely not!

Zao Lu raised her hand and gave Lin Yuxia another nudge, instantly pulling her back from her thoughts.

"Alright, Ms. Lin Yuxia, let's begin our game!"

Very quickly, really very quickly.

Early Dew quickly pursed her lips, revealing a somewhat disappointed and sullen expression.

Oh dear, I thought it was a very powerful little mouse!

Who knew it would end before it even began?

Zao Lu walked to Lin Yuxia's side, bent down, and leaned close to the round, pink mouse ears: "Miss Lin Yuxia, Miss Lin Yuxia, wake up~ If you open your eyes now and reach out to prop yourself up, I'll give you another chance~"

Lin Yuxia's eyes rolled back, almost completely blank, with traces of glistening moisture remaining on her lips. She showed no reaction to Zao Lu's words.

"Ugh~ It really doesn't work anymore~"

Zao Lu straightened up. "Then let's go to purgatory!"

She turned around, gave a slight bow, picked up the Beaded Whip, and left the party hall.

There's only one left. Hopefully, Chen Huijie can bring them some fun.

Lin Yuxia suddenly opened her pink eyes wide, her mouth agape, but she couldn't utter a sound.
