Yanmei's Bindings

Yanmei's claws stopped a hair's breadth away from tearing open Xiao's neck.

She couldn't do it. All the strength she had cultivated was for this very moment, so she could fend for herself the moment her secret had been exposed and yet she couldn't see it through.

Yanmei retracted her nails, staring at Xiao, wondering what her next course of action should be.

Could she truly entrust a total stranger out in the streets not to gossip about her secret? No,

Yanmei might be a bleeding heart but she is not naive enough to let Xiao go free.

There is a way to make Xiao's bindings permanent. It is the only course of action left for her to take. With it, Xiao's undying devotion will forever be with Yanmei.

Instead draining her victim of all their qi essence, like her other brethren did and what she had avoided, Yanmei would instead impart her own to Xiao, causing her charmed state to last until the day she would draw her final breath.

Yanmei slowly undid her cheongsam, all while monologuing, "You are lucky, I've chosen to spare you. But in exchange, you will forever remain by my side."

As her cheongsam fell to the floor, Yanmei's spotless and pristine skin was presented before Xiao. The tails on her back lustrously swayed as Yanmei willed.

Yanmei grabbed Xiao's wrist and led her to the V.I.P. room's nearby pricey sofa.

With refined elegance, Yanmei sat on the couch only for her to indecently open her legs and lay bare her flower.

"On your knees, please me. You owe me that much for all the stress you've caused."

Yanmei's tone might be imposing, but the mesmerized Xiao attributed it to sweet nothings.

The fox seductively bit her lip, to reward Xiao with her qi essence she only needed to cum.

With how gorgeous Xiao was, it wasn't that hard for Yanmei to get in the mood. The question in her mind was, does Xiao know how to pleasure another woman?

Yanmei answered her own question with a moan as Xiao gently tongued her clit. Yanmei's heart beat to its limit as Xiao tended to her flower with a dextrous tongue.

Xiao paused, leaving Yanmei gasping for air.

But her respite was only momentary as Xiao entered a single digit into her sex, once she had deemed it dripping with nectar. Xiao inserted two of her fingers into Yanmei.

Xiao probed Yanmei's soft upper walls, while staring at the fox with hazy eyes. She was trying to locate Yanmei's pleasure spot.

A bolt of ecstasy coursed through Yanmei as Xiao accidentally hit her love spot, she wasted no time in informing Xiao where she should focus all of her attention.

"There! Right there!"

Then, Xiao started rhythmically moving her fingers in and out from Yanmei while rocking her love spot as they moved, in consequence, rocking Yanmei's whole world.

Yanmei covered her mouth, her moans were starting to become screams of lust. She might own the establishment, but it would be bad if her workers lost respect for her if rumors spread that she is a debauched lady.

Her lust climbs, she could see it now, as clear as Mt. Tai! Binding Xiao to her was definitely the correct decision.

Xiao's relentless fingers brought Yanmei to the peak, lost in the moment as she orgasmed, Yanmei removed her hand from her mouth, her erotic moan filled the entire room. Her claws brandished on their own as her nails dug into and ruined her expensive sofa.

As the orgasm finally faded, her qi essence should already be transferred to Xiao, making the woman her eternal companion.

Yanmei clothed herself, waiting for binding to take effect.

Moments later, the fox tilted her head in puzzlement.

Something was amiss, the connection she had with Xiao was still in a regular charmed state.

Suddenly, Yanmei saw Xiao's mask manifest in her hand.

With Zhen and Xiao's souls linked, Zhen can teleport herself to wherever Xiao may be. And it is also because of this very reason that Yanmei failed to bind Xiao.

For Xiao's soul, was already bound to another, whose cultivation eclipsed Yanmei's.

Although the platonic relationship she had built with her student made it a bit uncomfortable watching Xiao fuck, Zhen ultimately got what she wanted. Yanmei's qi essence.

Holding the reins for a bit, Zhen put on her mask and dispelled Yanmei's charm along with it.

Fear coursed through Yanmei. Her connection with Xiao was forcefully shattered by a stronger force, far stronger than she is. How? Was the woman hiding her real cultivation base all along?

A violent tempest shook the room once again as Yanmei was put on edge. Her instincts as a spirit beast told her that the woman in front of her was now a genuine monster.

"Be glad that you spared my student, had I sensed genuine killing intent from you, your head would have rolled even before you made your attack."

Xiao's timbre differed, giving credence to Yanmei's suspicion that she is now indeed a different person.

"Who are you?" The fox glared, her winds at the ready to tear apart the dangerous foe in front of her.

"Me? I am but a humble teacher, eager to witness the growth of my student."

From Xiao's missing limbs came a stream of qi, solidifying to reform her missing limbs.

"What the - how did you do that!?" Yanmei never truly believed that the one speaking was that of a regular teacher, the fact that she could restore missing limbs on a whim proved that she was some sort of hidden master.

"A lady has her secrets. Now if you would excuse us, we have a pill to concoct." Zhen was about to exit the room when condensed, razor sharp winds rushed to her direction. With a flick of her wrist, Zhen surrounded herself with a globe of impenetrable ice. "It is ill advised to raise your hand against me. Let us say, my student would be saddened if I ended your life now."

Engaging the hidden master in battle was indeed tantamount to suicide, it would make no difference if Yanmei decapitated herself with her own wind. And yet, she chose to fight. Her very knees wobbling, it was her paranoia that's fueling her action at this point.

"You refuse to even give me your name and you think you can just leave with my secret in tow!?"

Yanmei sent another round of destructive winds towards Zhen only for her target to remain unfazed, protected by her ice.

"So you want to play? Very well, let me oblige you."

The atmosphere glittered with numerous ice particles. The breathtaking sight was but a masquerade, for the particles formed into something deadly.

Before Yanmei knew it, she was already staring at an array of ornate ice jian swords. Each of them refined, as if made by a master craftsman and wasn't conjured using ice qi.

The fox collapsed on her backside. Zhen filled the air with ice swords to the point that it would make evasion impossible. Once let loose, it would no doubt turn her entire body into a grotesque sheathe.

"Do you yield?" Zhen condescendingly questioned.

Powerlessness and anger crashed over Yanmei. The woman might let her live, but being forced to impart her secret on a stranger, her very identity that she had guarded for a 100 years, it was all so cruel that she couldn't help but let the tears fall. Her emotions temporarily blinding her, she taunted Zhen. "I will never beg. Kill me now if you want."

As Yanmei closed her eyes, awaiting her execution. All she heard was a sigh, followed by Zhen's admission in order to ease Yanmei's plight.

"I never asked for you to beg. My name is Kai Zhen, one of the most powerful cultivator above the heavens. I am the Ice Empress. Like your secret identity, mine carries a lot of a weight so massive, for if my enemies knew my location, they would not hesitate to wipe this city off the map. And to make it seem like we are not running away with your secret, I shall tell you our abode. We currently reside at the Transient Blades sect. Do visit us sometimes, I'm sure my student would like to get to know you. Farewell."

The information that Yanmei was bombarded with made her forehead crease. Above the heavens? Ice Empress? Xiao would like to get to know her? Zhen had left her with more questions than answers.

Assuming that those pieces of information are indeed true, it was comforting for her that Xiao and Zhen weren't really out to blackmail her. They have a whole lot more on their plate to deal with than ruining Yanmei's reputation.

Even so, she plans on making sure that her secret remained safe. She plans on doing so by keeping a watchful eye on Xiao from now on.
