Aromatic Flesh

Chapter 109.1: Demon Sect Leader’s Holy Maiden Concubine (1)

Gu MingYue slowly opened her eyes in the darkness.

“!”

A dark shadow loomed above her body, accompanied by the faint fragrance of lotus blossoms that permeated the air and enveloped her invisibly. Gu MingYue blinked her eyes forcefully, her vision not yet accustomed to the shades of the night. Before she could react, her mouth was covered by someone’s hand in a daze.

What’s going on?

“You’re awake.” A voice as smooth as silk, carrying a hint of huskiness, resonated with clarity, starting from a distance and gradually drawing nearer until it enveloped her senses completely.

To her surprise, the enigmatic silhouette turned out to be that of a man…

An indistinct face hovered just inches away, its features hidden from view. A pair of sparkling eyes shone brilliantly in the depths of the night, their radiance dancing like stars.

The man’s heated breath grazed against Gu MingYue’s cheek, causing her to squirm uncomfortably.

“Shh… Don’t move…” The man warned in a voice laced with a hint of amusement. With a leisurely demeanour, his idle hand parted her collar and his fingertips casually the delicate hollow at the base of her alabaster neck. “Wouldn’t it be such a shame if I accidentally caused you harm?” He continued lazily.

Gu MingYue promptly adhered to the command, her body lying motionless on the bed as an aura of vulnerability carefully projected from her. And amidst those eyes, starkly contrasting in black and white, a misty allure swirled, as if teardrops were teetering on the brink of escape.

Despite her facade of timidity, designed to enthral the other, a sigh resonated within Gu MingYue’s inner self. She couldn’t help but bemoan her incredible luck – or lack thereof – of stumbling into a scene straight out of the male lead’s covert nighttime escapade in the boudoir.

The man before her was none other than Jia Ling, the current leader of the Divine Sect.

Fueled by anger over being relentlessly pursued by the alliance of martial arts sects led by the Martial Alliance Leader, and driven by a burning desire for vengeance against the Martial Alliance Leader Gu ZhenKai, as well as a thirst to avenge the humiliation he suffered from the entire martial world, Jia Ling, along with the surge of his sinister affliction, had surreptitiously entered the room of Gu ZhenKai’s daughter – Gu QingHui, who was acclaimed as the most stunning beauty in the martial world.

On this particular night, in this particular moment and setting, Jia Ling’s intentions were crystal clear.

His intentions were as unmistakable as they come: He sought to use his unparalleled and elusive skills to send shockwaves through the entire martial world. Even the residence of the most formidable martial artist held no barriers for him, as he could move in and out effortlessly as if in an uninhabited realm. Even plucking the coveted flower of the martial world, Gu QingHui, would be a trivial matter for him.

After this night, a sense of trepidation would undoubtedly envelop the martial world. There was no telling when the enigmatic and ghost-like Jia Ling and his devoted disciples might claim the lives of those in power.

Typically, those who achieve unparalleled mastery in martial arts revel in the freedom it grants. Yet, in Gu MingYue’s eyes, the audacity of Jia Ling’s actions puzzled her.

If he intended to send shockwaves through the martial world, why not directly seize Gu ZhenKai’s head in broad daylight and lead his followers in a sweeping battle against the sects?

Wouldn’t that hold a greater and lasting impact?

However, the unfolding events in the story defied conventional logic. Even though the Demon Sect’s leader was endowed with extraordinary skills and a capricious nature, Gu MingYue had no option but to resign herself to the situation.

After all, he was the male protagonist of this mission world.

Still, a quiet exasperation whispered within Gu MingYue’s mind – Sect Leader, you’ve entered the wrong room…

Her current body, though strikingly similar to the appearance of the martial world’s renowned beauty – Gu QingHui, was none other than her twin sister – Gu LiuGuang.

The world knew only of Gu QingHui, and was ignorant of Gu LiuGuang’s existence. Since birth, Gu LiuGuang had lived a reclusive life, never venturing beyond the confines of the Gu family’s rear courtyard, all due to her inherent simplicity¹.

Indeed, while the elder twin sister held a prestigious position within the martial world, her younger twin remained in obscurity. Few were aware of her existence, with only her father, sister, and a handful of close servants within the Gu household privy to her presence.

The twins’ mother had tragically passed away midway through childbirth.

Gu LiuGuang, being born a few minutes later, had lingered within the womb for too long. As a result, when she finally entered the world, her tiny form bore a bluish hue, devoid of breath. Even the intervention of the esteemed healer Cang Yuan, who wielded the famous golden needles to bring her back, couldn’t reverse the damage.

Her cognitive abilities were impaired, leaving her mental faculties frozen in childhood innocence throughout her life.

Jia Ling’s arrival was but an additional brushstroke on Gu LiuGuang’s tragic life canvas, a cruel punctuation mark in her brief and emotionally numbed existence.

Gu MingYue replayed the unfolding drama silently in her mind. Despite the glistening tears still residing in her eyes, the arcs of her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes eased into an unwittingly relaxed state, projecting a serenely peaceful countenance that didn’t escape Jia Ling’s notice.

His brow furrowed slightly as he observed the transformation in the woman.

An unmasked reverie… The deep, watery brilliance of her eyes emitted a touch of innocence and bewilderment…

The martial world’s most beautiful woman doesn’t seem to possess the intelligence rumoured about her… Jia Ling mused silently to himself.

Nevertheless, this did not deter him from what he was about to do. The title of the martial world’s top beauty was but an aspect of her, for beneath the beauty, she was still a woman.

With foresight into what was to unfold, Gu MingYue meekly followed Jia Ling’s cues, her form sprawled out on the bed, her hands resting neatly at her sides. She embraced an artless facade of immobility, evoking an innocence that was nothing short of genuine.

Interestingly, as Jia Ling leaned in, scrutinizing her closely, a perplexed thought surfaced: Was this really the same spirited young girl he had encountered years ago, now laying beneath him in feigned lifelessness…?

NEW ARC! From this first chapter, it seems like this is a world of martial art skills, hopefully with the flying swords and all (I really love this sort of genre!) Also, PLEASE DON’T LET THE TWIN SISTER BE THE MAIN HEROINE ashdnansdlka

Enjoy~
