Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Another Snatch [R18]
The room was in a complete silence. It was thick with the weight of what was about to transpire. Aric, seated beside Ru Shenshen, could feel the pressure mounting as he prepared to perform the Venom Extraction Technique. The venom coursing through her veins was not just any poison—it was a poison that had felled even the most powerful cultivators.
Ru Shenshen, the esteemed Sect Leader of the Starry Sky Sect, had always been a figure of immense strength and grace. Yet now, she lay vulnerable before him, her body wracked with the poison that threatened to consume her. Her breath was shallow, her eyes clouded with pain, but even in this state, she exuded an air of quiet dignity.
"Master, this will take time, and it will be painful," Aric said gently, his voice steady despite the turmoil he felt within. "But I will do everything in my power to save you."
Ru Shenshen managed a weak nod, her trust in him unwavering. "I know you will, Haotian. I have faith in you," she whispered, her voice trembling with both pain and conviction.
Ru Shenshen was laid in her bed with her back focusing the ceiling.
Aric took a deep breath, closing his eyes to center himself before beginning the process. He extended his hands above Ru Shenshen's body, his fingers trembling slightly as he channeled his energy. The Venom Extraction Technique was complex, requiring him to guide his spiritual energy through her meridians, locate the venom, and draw it out without causing further harm.
He could sense the venom through her meridians. Aric had already purchased the technique from system and was confident in curing her.
Ru Shenshen's breaths were shallow, each exhale accompanied by a faint tremor of pain. She could feel the venom's icy grip tightening within her, like a cold hand squeezing her heart.
But more than the pain, it was the fear of being powerless against it, that truly frightened her.
"Haotian…I hope you will do this well" Her voice was weak.
Aric nodded, his gaze never leaving hers. "Master, I promise, I won't let this venom take you. I'll do everything in my power to heal you." His voice was firm, filled with a resolve that gave Ru Shenshen a much-needed sense of reassurance.
As Aric began to channel his spiritual energy, a soft, warm light emanated from his hands, bathing Ru Shenshen in a gentle glow. The energy flowed into her body, seeking out the venom like a beacon.
He started isolating the venom within her meridians without damaging her delicate energy channels. The slightest mistake could cause irreversible harm.
"Stay with me, Master," Aric murmured, his voice barely above a whisper. "We're almost there."
Ru Shenshen winced, her body involuntarily tensing as she felt the venom stirring within her. Her fingers gripped the sheets beneath her, her knuckles white as she endured the pain.
The process was painful, far more than she had anticipated. The venom resisted extraction, fighting against the foreign energy that sought to expel it. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead as she bit down on her lip, trying to suppress the cries of pain that threatened to escape.
Aric noticed her discomfort, his heart aching at the sight of his master in such agony. "Master, I know it hurts, but please, bear with me just a little longer. I'm almost there," he said, his voice gentle yet tinged with urgency. He pushed more of his energy into the technique, focusing intently on the venom's core, drawing it out inch by inch.
His muscles were getting pushed to its limits and his body trembled as he poured more of his spiritual energy into the extraction. Sweat trickled down his face, mingling with the intense concentration in his eyes. He could feel his energy reserves depleting.
Ru Shenshen's pain began to fade as she felt the venom gradually retreating. The cold grip on her heart loosened, replaced by a growing warmth. Despite the agony, she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of admiration for Aric.
The care and dedication he was showing her, the lengths he was willing to go to save her, made her heart swell with gratitude. She had always known Haotian was a talented and loyal disciple, but now she saw the depths of his devotion.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Aric's hands glowed brighter, and with a final push, the last remnants of the venom were drawn out of Ru Shenshen's body.
"It's done," Aric said softly, his voice hoarse from the effort. He looked down at Ru Shenshen, his eyes filled with concern and hope. "The venom has been completely removed."
Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized that the torment was over, the venom no longer a threat to her life. A wave of relief washed over her, and she felt her strength slowly returning.
When she looked at her body, the traces of the poison were gone and enchanting skin was visible again.
"Haotian… you've saved my life," she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. She reached out, her hand finding his, her touch weak but filled with sincerity. "I don't know how to thank you."
Aric clasped her hand gently, his heart swelling with a mix of relief and pride. "There's no need for thanks, Master. I'm just glad I could help you."
Ru Shenshen gazed at him, her eyes softening as she saw the exhaustion etched on his face, the sweat that still clung to his brow. She could see the effort he had put in, the care with which he had handled the entire process. In that moment, she felt a deep bond with her disciple.
[Ding! Congratulations Host! You gained +3,000 Villain Halo and +30,000 Villain Points for improving your relationship with Daughter of Destiny, Ru Shenshen.]
[Ru Shenshen's Favorability: 25 → 55(Close Friend)]
Aric felt happy after receiving this notification. He wasn't really sure how much this event would affect their relationship. But it proved to be great.
But Aric wasn't satisfied with that now comes his masterstroke.
Ru Shenshen lay still, her chest rising and falling as the aftermath of Aric's treatment began to settle. But just as she felt a wave of relief washing over her, a strange warmth started to spread from deep within, quickly escalating to an unbearable heat that made her heart race.
Ru Shenshen's eyes widened as she recalled the technique's instructions. She had studied the Venom Extraction Technique thoroughly, confident that she could handle any repercussions.
However, the scroll had been cryptic about one specific note: "Only practice with someone you are close to." At the time, she had dismissed it, thinking it referred to trust and familiarity. Now, she was beginning to realize the true meaning of that warning. The technique had an unforeseen side effect, one that was rapidly overtaking her senses.
"Haotian…" she whispered, her voice trembling as she clutched her robes, trying to control the sudden surge of desire that was flooding her mind. "Something's… wrong…"
Aric, who had been standing by her side, watching her recovery with a sense of satisfaction, immediately noticed the shift in her demeanor. His brows furrowed in concern as he saw her flushed cheeks and the way she seemed to be struggling against an invisible force.
"Master, what's happening?" Aric asked, feigning ignorance, though a part of him had anticipated this very outcome. He had read between the lines of the technique and knew the risk, but he also knew that this could play right into his hands.
Ru Shenshen bit her lip, her thoughts becoming more jumbled with each passing second. The warmth was turning into a fire, one that threatened to consume her entirely. She knew the nature of this energy—it was an aphrodisiac, a potent one, and its effects were intensifying at an alarming rate.
She was well-versed in cultivation techniques, aware that this could be countered either by specific methods or through dual cultivation. But she had just fought off the venom, and her strength was far from fully restored. The realization hit her with brutal clarity: she didn't have the power to suppress it on her own.
Her mind was a battlefield of conflicting thoughts. Could she truly ask her disciple, someone who had just saved her life, to help her in this most intimate of ways? The mere idea of surrendering to the side effects was mortifying, and yet, she could feel her rationality slipping away, her body betraying her with every pulse of the aphrodisiac coursing through her veins.
"Haotian… the venom… it's released an aphrodisiac into my system," she confessed, her voice shaky as she tried to maintain her composure. "I don't… I don't know if I can control it much longer…"
Aric's eyes widened, though the surprise he showed was carefully measured. He moved closer, his expression one of deep concern. "Master… what can I do? Please, tell me how to help you."
Ru Shenshen hesitated, her mind racing. Should she reveal the truth to him? Should she ask him to help her in such a personal, forbidden manner? Her pride and her status as the Sect Leader of the Starry Sky Sect warred with the primal need that was threatening to overwhelm her. But the aphrodisiac was merciless, and she could feel herself nearing the edge.
"There's only… one way to stop it," she finally whispered, her voice barely audible. "Dual cultivation… it's the only way to stabilize the energy and… and prevent it from taking full control."
Aric's heart pounded in his chest, not with fear or hesitation, but with the thrill of knowing that he had her exactly where he wanted. Yet, he kept his voice steady, filled with nothing but sincerity. "Master, if that's what needs to be done, I'll do it. I'll save you, no matter what. Even if you hate me afterward, even if you never forgive me… I'll do whatever it takes to protect you."
Ru Shenshen's eyes filled with tears, her resolve crumbling under the weight of her emotions and the overpowering heat. She looked at Aric, seeing not just a disciple but someone who had proven his loyalty time and time again, someone who was willing to sacrifice anything for her.
Her breath hitched as she realized the truth: she was out of options. And perhaps, deep down, she didn't want another option. The idea of dual cultivating with Aric, once unthinkable, now seemed like the only lifeline she had.
With a trembling nod, she finally surrendered. "Haotian… please… help me."
Aric's heart soared with triumph, though his face remained gentle, his movements calm and deliberate. He guided her closer, his touch reassuring and full of care. "I promise, Master. I'll be gentle. I'll make sure you're safe."
Aric joined Ru Shenshen on the bed, his movements deliberate yet tender, a mix of care and anticipation in every touch. He could feel the intensity of her desire.
The aphrodisiac running through her veins, made her hypersensitive. He gently brushed his hand through her hair, his fingers tracing the contours of her face as he moved closer, his breath mingling with hers.
Their lips met in a slow, deliberate kiss, the contact sparking an electric current between them. Ru Shenshen's initial hesitation melted away as the fire within her grew, fueled by the potent mix of the aphrodisiac and her growing desire for him. She pressed herself closer, her body responding eagerly to his touch, craving more.
Aric felt the heat radiating from her skin as he trailed kisses down her neck, savoring the soft moans escaping her lips. His hands roamed over her body, tracing the delicate curves, the smoothness of her skin beneath his fingertips igniting his own desire. He took his time, worshiping every inch of her, making sure she felt cherished, loved.
As he undressed her, revealing her body to him, he paused to take in the sight before him. Ru Shenshen's beauty was mesmerizing, her form a work of art, perfect in every way. The soft glow of the candlelight accentuated the gentle curves of her figure, the rise and fall of her chest as her breath quickened under his gaze.
"Master," he whispered, his voice low and filled with reverence, "you're breathtaking."
She blushed under his intense gaze but didn't shy away. Instead, she reached out to him, her hands trembling slightly as she helped him remove his robes. As his bare skin met hers, a shiver of anticipation ran through them both. The connection they shared, forged in trust and deepened by the circumstances, was unlike anything she had ever experienced.
Their lips met again, more urgently this time, the kiss deep and hungry as they explored each other. Aric's hands moved to her breasts, his touch firm yet gentle as he began to caress her, eliciting soft gasps of pleasure from her. He took his time, savoring the taste of her skin as he kissed his way down to her breasts, his mouth closing over her nipple.
"Ah!" Ru Shenshen moaned as he sucked and teased her, the sensation sending waves of pleasure coursing through her. Her hands tangled in his hair, pulling him closer, urging him on as the fire within her grew more intense, demanding release.
Aric responded to her need, his own desire rising as he continued to lavish attention on her breasts. His tongue flicked over her sensitive skin, his teeth grazing her nipple gently, drawing another gasp from her. He could feel the aphrodisiac's effects pushing her closer to the edge, her body trembling with the need to be fulfilled.
He shifted, his body moving over hers, his hands sliding down to her hips as he positioned himself between her legs. He could feel the heat radiating from her core, the slickness of her arousal as she pressed against him. But even as the urgency built, he remained patient, wanting to make this moment as special for her as possible.
"Master," he murmured, his voice filled with a mix of tenderness and desire, "are you ready?"
She nodded, her eyes half-lidded with need, her breath coming in short, shallow gasps. "Yes, Haotian… please…"
With a gentle push, he entered her, their bodies joining in a slow, deliberate movement. The sensation was overwhelming, a rush of pleasure and connection that left them both breathless. Ru Shenshen gasped, her hands gripping his shoulders as she arched into him, her body responding instinctively to his.
Aric moved slowly at first, letting her adjust to the feel of him inside her, his hands caressing her sides, her hips, as he maintained the rhythm. The room was filled with the sound of their breathing, the quiet moans and gasps of pleasure as they moved together, their bodies finding a rhythm that matched the beating of their hearts.
As the pace quickened, the sensations intensified, the heat between them building to a crescendo. Ru Shenshen's mind was a whirlwind of pleasure, the aphrodisiac amplifying every touch, every thrust, until she was lost in the sensation, her thoughts dissolving into pure bliss.
Aric could feel her getting closer to the edge, her body tightening around him as the pleasure mounted. He increased the pace, his movements more urgent, more intense as he guided her towards release. The connection between them deepened, their energies intertwining in a dance as old as time, a perfect harmony of desire and need.
Aric looked at the beauty who was moaning under him. Then he looked at his rod and said, "Come on man, we have a long way to go. We cannot stop here."
He started fucking Shenshen with increased vigour.
She kept moaning, "Harder, Harder." Until, the tension broke, a wave of pleasure crashing over Shenshen as she reached her peak. Ru Shenshen cried out, her body trembling as the release washed over her, the sensation so intense it left her breathless, her mind blank with ecstasy.
Aric was relentless, his movements becoming more urgent, more primal, as he made love to her again and again. Each time they reached their peak, he would pause only briefly, letting her catch her breath before starting anew. His stamina seemed boundless, his strength and desire unwavering as he continued to explore every inch of her body, worshiping her with his touch, his lips, his very being.
Ru Shenshen was lost in the sensations, her mind a haze of pleasure as Aric took her to new heights again and again. Her body trembled beneath him, each wave of pleasure leaving her more breathless than the last. The night became a blur of passion, their bodies entwined in a dance that seemed to have no end.
As the hours passed, the night outside gave way to the first light of dawn. The soft glow of the morning sun filtered through the windows, casting a golden hue over their entwined forms. But even as the new day began, Aric showed no signs of stopping. His pace quickened, his movements becoming more urgent, more intense as he pushed them both towards one final, shattering release.
Ru Shenshen cried out as she reached her peak once more, her body shaking with the force of her climax. Aric followed soon after, his own release powerful and all-consuming. He collapsed beside her, their bodies slick with sweat, their hearts pounding in unison as they lay there, completely spent.
They lay there in the aftermath, their bodies entwined, their breathing gradually slowing as the intense sensations began to fade. The room was filled with a warm, contented silence, the air thick with the scent of sweat.
Aric held Ru Shenshen close, his arms wrapped around her protectively as they both drifted on the afterglow. The aphrodisiac had been neutralized, its effects dissipating, but the bond between them had grown stronger.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You gained +10,000 Villain Halo and +100,000 Villain Points for successfully Dual Cultivating with Ru Shenshen.]
[Ru Shenshen's Favorability: 55 → 81 (Deep Love)]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Due to successfully conquering the Daughter of Destiny, Ru Shenshen, her status has changed to 'Villainess'.]
Aric was very happy with the result. Now he wanted to check whether he can control her or not. So, he checked the system and founded that his intelligence stat has risen above her due to the repeat use of mind control skill in the past some time.
With a soft sigh, he gently bit his finger, allowing a few drops of his blood to fall into her slightly parted lips.
[Ding! Host, a new target detected. Would you like to start mind control skill?]
"Yes", He said.
As the blood merged with her essence, Aric activated his mind control skill and started crafting a new narrative.
In her altered memories, their relationship blossomed into a deep and abiding love. She remembered Aric as her true love, the man who had always stood by her side, protecting her from the shadows.
She recalled their first meeting, a chance encounter that had sparked an immediate connection between them. Over time, that connection had deepened into something more profound. They had faced countless challenges together, each one strengthening the bond between them.
In these new memories, Ye Chen was nothing more than an insignificant figure, an outer disciple of no real consequence. Through Aric's manipulation, Ru Shenshen now remembered him as a demonic cultivator who had infiltrated the sect with nefarious intentions. Her feelings for Ye Chen transformed into disgust and disdain, viewing him as nothing more than an ant, a threat easily crushed underfoot.
Furthermore, he ensured that Ye Chen becomes her enemy, someone she can only despise.
As the memories solidified, Ru Shenshen's heart swelled with gratitude and love for Aric. She saw him as her savior, her protector, and above all, her husband. The man who had risked everything to keep her safe.
Aric watched as her eyes fluttered open, the new reality firmly set in her mind. Her gaze softened as it settled on his face, and a gentle smile touched her lips. "Thank you, husband," she whispered, her voice filled with warmth and affection. The title felt natural on her tongue, as if she had always known him this way.
A flicker of emotion crossed Aric's face, a mix of satisfaction and something deeper. "There's no need to thank me," he replied, his voice tender. "I promised to protect you, to always be by your side, no matter what."
With those words, Aric slowly removed his disguise, revealing his true face to her for the first time. Ru Shenshen's breath caught in her throat as she took in his features, the man she had loved all along but had never truly seen. His dark, piercing eyes held a depth of emotion that she had never noticed before, and his handsome face was filled with a mixture of vulnerability and strength.
"You're even more handsome than I imagined," she murmured, her fingers reaching up to trace the contours of his face.
Aric smiled, a rare, genuine smile that lit up his face. "And you, my love, are more beautiful than I ever dared to dream."
Their lips met in a tender kiss, one that spoke of all the love and affection they had shared in their altered memories.
As they pulled away, Ru Shenshen gazed up at him with adoration. "Husband, I love you. I can't imagine my life without you."
Aric's heart swelled with a mixture of triumph. "And I love you, Shenshen. I will always be here for you, to protect you, to cherish you."
"You took my virginity; how are you going to compensate me?" She asked shyly.
Aric started pinching her nipples, "I will keep fucking you until you feel satisfied"
They both started doing some more dirty talk. They spent the next moments talking, sharing stories of their past, the memories Aric had implanted now mingling with the present. They spoke of their first meeting, the way their hearts had recognized each other, even before their minds did.
They laughed about the little moments, the shared glances, the quiet conversations that had led them to this point.
"I remember how you saved me from that Demonic Beast," Ru Shenshen said, her voice soft as she rested her head on his chest. "I was so scared, but you were there."
Aric chuckled, his hand gently stroking her hair. "And I would do it all over again, just to see you safe and happy."
They kept on talking until the Sun reached its peak.
