Chapter 591: Numbness and Sinking
“Hey? Hey!?”
Suddenly feeling a chill all over, Shi Qingyan’s face turned bright red, and she panicked, covering herself: “W-what are you doing?”
“The Blood Demon bloodline is the rule seed of Xu Hongyi.”
Yan Rouwan said coldly, “To put it simply, you have her rule power in your body, which is why she’s controlling you.”
“But… rule power, huh?”
“I have that too.”
Shi Qingyan was momentarily stunned.
“So… you can dispel the rule seed of Xu Hongyi from my body?”
“Of course, as long as I use my own rules to drive hers away.”
Yan Rouwan said softly, “You should be able to feel it, right? Your cultivation level has risen a bit.”
That was true.
Not only that, but Shi Qingyan also vaguely sensed a wonderful rhythm hidden in the air around her. This subtle change was something she had never noticed before.
It felt as if she had entered an entirely new realm.
“The rules of the Abyss Realm are my rules,” Yan Rouwan said casually. “Judging by your current realm, you can already be considered at the Great Ascension stage. You just need to break through your cultivation. Consider this a little gift for you.”
“A half-step into the Great Ascension stage, huh…” Shi Qingyan murmured, suddenly reminded of something.
“Wait a second. If you can do it so easily, why did you have to rip my clothes? Was the clothing explosion really necessary?”
Yan Rouwan didn’t answer.
But in her sly and teasing eyes, a hint of a secret smile seemed to give Shi Qingyan the answer.
“Hey! You aren’t just doing this for fun, are you? Just to mess with me?”
Shi Qingyan couldn’t help but feel a mix of embarrassment and anger.
“Who told Senior Sister Shi to always act so cold?”
Yan Rouwan huffed playfully, teasing, “Back at the Water Moon Sect, I wanted to prank you a few times. I just wanted to see that ‘I reject everyone’ expression on your face to know if it was naturally stuck on you.”
“Now that I see it, Senior Sister Shi does show a cute expression sometimes.”
Shi Qingyan’s cheeks puffed in annoyance, but she had no way to retaliate against Yan Rouwan.
Yet amid her anger, she found it somewhat amusing.
Ever since Yan Rouwan awakened, Shi Qingyan had been wary of the strange and distant feeling emanating from her. Although they had always had a good relationship, they had talked much less during this time.
Seeing Yan Rouwan being so mischievous and childish lightened her own mood.
She was still that Yan Rouwan.
That friendly and easygoing star fairy.
“So you called me all the way to this place just to scare me for fun, trying to make me look silly?”
“Isn’t that okay?” Yan Rouwan countered.
Feeling irritated, Shi Qingyan decided to stop holding back and, with exaggerated movements, lunged at Yan Rouwan, seemingly ready to wrestle.
“Alright, you wait! You better not sleep with Young Master Sang later, or you’ll see how I deal with you!”
“Heh, who knows who will deal with whom then.”
“Hmph, little virgin talking big, I’ll show you how awesome I am right now!”
“Hey? What are you doing? Don’t rip my clothes! Ah!”
On a desolate shore, the sound of the girls’ playful laughter echoed like silver bells.

In the Falling Red Realm.
In Xu Hongyi’s chambers, the entanglement had yet to cease.
Xu Hongyi was like a child who could never get enough, always clinging to Young Master Sang, making him unable to stop for even a moment.
The most direct consequence of this was numbness and chaos.
In this endless grind day after day, Sang Zhe felt as if he had become numb to the intimacy, as if everything he did was merely a routine task.
Furthermore, the constant repetition made his head feel stiff, as if his thoughts had stagnated.
Sang Zhe thought this might be Xu Hongyi’s intention.
To make him completely sink, to become a machine, only knowing to mate with her.
If that were the case, he would never think of escaping and could belong to her forever.
“Brother…”
In his arms, the naked little catgirl wove her body with his, gently licking his neck and collarbone like a kitten grooming itself.
“Are you happy?”
“Of course I’m happy.” Sang Zhe smiled, leaning down to kiss her forehead softly, “How could I not be happy being with you forever?”
Xu Hongyi’s smile was as bright as a child’s.
“It’s already been over a week. It feels like brother has completely adapted to life here.”
“Yeah,” Sang Zhe sighed, “not worrying about food and clothes, not having to work or go to the office, enjoying endless days in bed with a beautiful companion. Who would want to leave this heavenly life?”
Xu Hongyi happily wrapped her arms around Sang Zhe’s neck: “Then brother, just never leave me.”
“Um… but we have to separate for at least a little while.”
“Ah? Why?”
“Because sticking together all the time means hot and sticky sweat. It’s uncomfortable. Baths are still necessary.”
Reluctantly, Xu Hongyi loosened her grip on Sang Zhe but quickly clung to him again like a koala:
“Can’t I just bathe with you?”
Sang Zhe thought for a moment and said, “…that’s not impossible.”
Xu Hongyi’s eyes lit up.
“Really?”
“Of course. Plus, a couple’s bath has many ways to enjoy it. Want to give it a try?”
“I want to!” Xu Hongyi leaned in and kissed Sang Zhe’s lips.
Now, Xu Hongyi was completely in love mode.
Setting aside her identity as a Primordial Deity, Sang Zhe felt her mindset was no different from the average love-struck girls he had met in his past life.
Lost in the illusions of love, she relied on the warmth and care given by him, passing each day blissfully without a care.
After binding herself back, she indeed hadn’t done anything to annoy herself. In fact, as long as he was willing, any demand she would unconditionally fulfill and indulge.
If it were someone else, perhaps this paradise-like life truly wouldn’t need any escape.
In her thoughts, Xu Hongyi seemed to have pulled out many wardrobes full of swimsuits, each style available, even many that were outrageously risqué.
“Does brother have a favorite? No matter how revealing, as long as brother likes it, I can wear it for you!”
Xu Hongyi’s eager gaze seemed to emit light.
Sang Zhe pondered for a moment and chose one that wasn’t too revealing but looked pure and nice, accentuating Xu Hongyi’s figure.
“This one. I still prefer your pure and cute look.”
“Oh, really?”
Xu Hongyi immediately began to put on the swimsuit in front of Sang Zhe, tying it up piece by piece.
After changing into the swimsuit, her aura transformed into that of a cheerful schoolgirl, playfully winking at Sang Zhe.
“Brother, do I look good?”
“……You look good.”
Sang Zhe wiped the blood from his nose and gave her a thumbs-up.
