[Lingsha rose through the ranks at an unprecedented pace, her interpersonal skills growing increasingly polished. Many praised her as sociable, exceptionally easy to get along with.]
[In contrast, those who had once framed her—having never focused on their studies—were soon expelled for repeatedly afailing to meet academic standards.]
These bitches had managed to ruin themselves before Lingsha even needed to climb higher.
How ironic.
[Yet Lingsha only acted clingy around you.]
[They say serpents are inherently lustful—now you understood this deeply.]
[Perhaps after wearing a mask for so long outside, she craved freedom at home.]
[But sometimes, Lingsha was excessively affectionate, leaving you somewhat exasperated.]
[After thwarting the Elixir Seekers' conspiracy and receiving praise, she wanted to do it with you.]
[As Zhuming's military medic, she uncovered massive corruption in the medical supply chain, purging the perpetrators through covert investigations. After being commended, she wanted to do it with you.]
[When happy, she called it "sharing joy"—and wanted to do it with you.]
[When upset, she called it "seeking comfort"—and wanted to do it with you.]
[Any excuse would do, so long as she was in the mood.]
[Like an insatiable python, she coiled around you relentlessly.]
[What you expected to be a dull life of seclusion and research instead became vibrant.]
[Time flew by in tranquil happiness.]
[Your research finally bore fruit, and the next phase of your plan could begin...]
[Soon after, shocking news spread across the Xianzhou Alliance: the long-dead Ambrosial Arbor—the cursed relic of Yaoshi on the Luofu—had miraculously revived!]
[Under your orders, the Elixir Seekers collaborated with the Destruction Emanator, Phantylia the Undying. She brought a Stellaron, which the Elixir Seekers and the Vidyadhara covertly infused into the Arbor.]
[Amid the chaos, the Elixir Seekers and Phantylia ran rampant while the Vidyadhara pulled strings from the shadows, throwing the Luofu into turmoil.]
[The crisis was only quelled when the Nameless suddenly intervened, though the Cloud Knights suffered heavy losses.]
[This gave discontented Alliance higher-ups an opportunity. Officials from the Six Chariots seized the moment, flooding the courts with impeachment petitions against Jing Yuan.]
[Despite Marshal Hua's staunch support, Jing Yuan had to submit to oversight and investigation by several generals.]
[After deliberation, Marshal Hua dispatched the composed General Huaiyan of the Candle Abyss and the ambitious General Feixiao of the Heavenly Strike.]
[On the Luofu, Jing Yuan ordered a martial tournament—first, to boost morale after recent tragedies had left both civilians and Cloud Knights despondent.]
[Second, the tournament would require heavy security, thinning defenses elsewhere while influxes of visitors complicated surveillance. A perfect chance to muddy the waters.]
[Jing Yuan guessed hidden schemers would seize the moment—allowing him to crush them in one sweep.]
[His plan was clever. But you held more intelligence. His schemes couldn't fool you.]
[So you directed the Vidyadhara to play along, allying with the Borisin to unleash their warlord, Hulei, during the tournament and further chaos the waters.]
[Meanwhile, Lingsha faced a dilemma. The Alliance high command had appointed her as the new Preceptor of the Luofu's Alchemy Commission.]
[Undoubtedly, either General Huaiyan or Lord Yanting had recommended her.]
[That day, Lingsha stormed home fuming.]
[Most would celebrate a promotion, especially a homecoming. Yet she looked as if owed a debt.]
[Puzzled, you asked why. "Zhuming and Luofu are too far apart," she sulked. "This means I won't see you daily anymore."]
[You chuckled, patting her head. "Silly girl, this is good. You'll learn independence."]
["But I don't want to leave you," she whined, serpentining around you.]
[You gently tapped her arm.]
["Don't worry. I'll return to the Luofu soon," you promised, eyes glinting.]
[Once your plan concluded, the entire Alliance would be powerless against you. And what was wealth without returning home in glory?]
["Really? Wonderful!" She beamed, unwilling to part even for a second.]
[Just as you thought she'd calm down, she pounced again, tearing at your clothes.]
[Between tugs, the little temptress justified herself:]
["Since I'm going first, we'll be apart for a while. So tonight, you'll compensate me thoroughly~!"]
[You suddenly felt like you'd shot yourself in the foot...]
The system notified you: a special scene had been triggered.
Lingsha had changed greatly.
Her figure ripened voluptuously, like fruit at its peak.
But the starkest change was her limbs.
Researching incense and Luofu alchemy, she'd ingested vast herbs, gradually nurturing Vermilion Dragon blood within.
This manifested as crimson scales creeping up her hands and feet—deepest at the fingertips, fading seamlessly into skin at the borders.
As for texture? Solon had tested it firsthand. Less smooth than human skin, with a fine, gritty feel—uniquely pleasurable.
Noticing your thoughts, Lingsha smirked coquettishly, extending her hand...
Perhaps because separation loomed,
That night, she was wilder than ever—a ravenous constrictor, crushing Solon in her coils, demanding endlessly, as if to grind his bones and devour him whole.
Truly, when women lose control, men stand no chance.
By dawn, Solon felt hollowed out, every bone aching...
