“Come and meet me. I’m still Ten Stars Away.” Her voice echoed.
City Lord Wang Qi felt a surge of excitement. He immediately rose, commanding his subordinates to pilot a Cloud Ship from Cloud City, streaking towards the mark Liu Ruyan had indicated.
Meanwhile, Ten Stars Away, an ancient Cloud Ship tore through the void. Wherever it passed, Spatial Gales ripped apart, and countless Dao Patterns manifested in space.
Inside a luxurious cabin on the Cloud Ship, Liu Ruyan reclined in a long gown. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, radiating an Alluring Charm, tinged with a hint of languor. The gown, while elegant, did little to conceal her stunning figure. Beneath her snow-white neck, a generous expanse of pale skin was revealed, hinting at unspeakable delights just beyond sight. Her Jade legs were long and slender, like polished jade pillars, and the hem of her skirt draped low, exposing much of her fair skin. Her entire being exuded an intoxicating allure.
Before Liu Ruyan, several men gazed at her with fawning expressions. They were reverently holding and admiring her Jade feet. The Alluring Charm that permeated Liu Ruyan’s entire being, from every corner of her flesh, was evident even in her delicate Jade feet.
Excitement surged in the men’s hearts. To hold Liu Ruyan’s Jade feet felt like grasping her very essence. They were silky smooth, soft, and exquisitely delicate, an irresistible sensation.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man lowered his head and kissed her Jade foot. “Hiss!” Liu Ruyan let out a soft moan, a numbing sensation spreading through her.
Instantly, the other men felt their minds drawn in, and they too bent down to kiss her. Soon, the kissing turned into sucking. Liu Ruyan’s body radiated an even more potent Alluring Charm!
Watching the men utterly enthralled, a hint of disdainful amusement flickered across Liu Ruyan’s cold face. They were nothing more than subjects beneath her skirt!
This was merely her Five-star Supreme Avatar! For the men within the Third Star Ring, this avatar no longer held much appeal; they craved her true body. Yet, for the powers within and outside the Fourth Star Ring, a mere avatar was enough for her to move freely, garnering immense adoration.
She looked down on these men. They were nothing but tools to her.
Now, as an Elder of the Charm Sect, cultivating the Charm Sect’s Foundational Technique, ordinary men easily fell into the Illusory Dreams she wove. But she was far from satisfied. Liu Ruyan murmured to herself, “My goal is the Ancient Ancestor Realm. Below Ancient Ancestor, one is merely a puppet for others. Even I am now weary of dealing with these admirers. Only by becoming an Ancient Ancestor can I truly become Liu Ruyan. Outside the First Star Ring of the Fallen Star Sea, no one is worthy of me!”
Just then, City Lord Wang Qi’s voice echoed from outside the Cloud Ship. “Senior Liu Ruyan, Wang Qi has come to meet you.”
Liu Ruyan’s face remained unperturbed. “Come in,” she said. “Between us, there’s no need for such formalities as ‘Senior’.”
This was because she and Wang Qi once shared a history. Back then, she was merely a low-star Supreme, and Wang Qi had helped her greatly.
Moments later, Wang Qi, clad in brocade robes, his expression solemn, stepped into the room. Seeing the scene within, he wasn’t surprised; he had long grown accustomed to it.
Dead memories assaulted him. Back when Liu Ruyan had yet to rise, they had trysted in secret. He had once kissed every inch of her body in the darkness. And that had been her true body!
But when he had sought to go further, Liu Ruyan had threatened to take her own life. Wang Qi had relented. He knew that Liu Ruyan secretly maintained good relations with several powerful figures, and if he were to break her Primordial Yin Body, he would likely become a target of public wrath. At that time, Liu Ruyan was already making a name for herself within and outside the Fourth Star Ring.
Wang Qi gazed at Liu Ruyan, momentarily stunned. Years had passed. Liu Ruyan had already stepped into the Star Venerate Realm and joined the Charm Sect, while he remained merely a City Lord outside the Fourth Star Ring. Such was fate!
He had once helped propel Liu Ruyan to her peak. Now, he dared not presume upon past favors with her.
After a moment of silence, Liu Ruyan waved her Jade hand, sharply dismissing the men before her. “Scram!”
The men’s bodies trembled in their subservience, and they quickly departed. Wang Qi’s heart tightened. Liu Ruyan’s Charm Arts had reached Great Perfection; her ability to control men had grown terrifyingly potent.
One had to know, these men, though appearing utterly bewitched, were in fact the young generation of major powers within the Fourth Star Ring, or even high-star Supreme experts! They were figures who could command winds and summon rain, yet before Liu Ruyan, they were as docile as puppies, obeying her every command!
Soon, the men left. “Boom!” Liu Ruyan flicked her sleeve, and brilliant sealing restrictions, like a cascade of stars, surged forth, instantly sealing the room.
With a gesture of her Jade hand, a gentle force drew Wang Qi softly towards her. Wang Qi could have resisted, but his heart refused to.
Liu Ruyan’s Jade lips brushed against Wang Qi’s face, her breath warm as she whispered, “City Lord Wang Qi, why so reserved?”
Her Jade hand slid provocatively across Wang Qi’s chest, and the Charm Arts she exuded filled the air with a pink aura, enveloping them both.
Liu Ruyan was adept at stripping away defenses. In the brief moment Wang Qi was dazed by her technique, his body was already stripped bare.
Liu Ruyan chuckled, a bewitching smile like that of an enchanting demon fox, making Wang Qi forget everything.
She leaned in, her voice a silken whisper. “City Lord Wang, have you forgotten the days we spent intimately entwined?”
Wang Qi’s body trembled. “I could never forget.” He had never truly had Liu Ruyan to himself, but he didn’t blame her. He only blamed his own lack of strength!
“Let me help you,” Liu Ruyan purred. Wang Qi nodded.
A few breaths later, Wang Qi lay panting on the floor. “Ruyan, you’ve grown stronger.”
Liu Ruyan covered her mouth, chuckling softly. “You’re out of practice... hehehe.” Wang Qi looked embarrassed.
“My turn,” Liu Ruyan said. Wang Qi immediately complied.
Not long after, Liu Ruyan lay languidly in Wang Qi’s embrace, asking, “City Lord Wang, do you think Demon Fox Ah Li will appear this time?”
“Though a minor demon in Cloud City has awakened an Ancestral Bloodline, it’s utterly incomparable to Ah Li.”
“Demon Fox Ah Li has inherited the bloodline power of Ancient Ancestor Tamamo-no-Mae; her value far surpasses that of any other fox clan member!”
Wang Qi stroked Liu Ruyan’s long hair. “Demon Fox Ah Li should appear! Previously, she only showed herself when we captured descendants of the Supreme Fox Clan. This time will be no different!”
“She is gravely injured now, one of her three tails severed, her cultivation having fallen to that of a high-star Supreme. Our Cloudrise Holy Land has already laid out a Heaven and Earth Net! If she dares to show herself, she will surely die!”
Liu Ruyan said softly, “I need her bloodline power. Only then can my Charm Arts break through. Charm Arts are the innate talent of the Supreme Fox Clan; once I refine Demon Fox Ah Li’s power, my cultivation will skyrocket! Moreover, I might even become a Grand Elder of the Charm Sect!”
Grand Elder! Wang Qi was somewhat shocked. Liu Ruyan was actually plotting to become a Grand Elder of the Charm Sect!
Suddenly, Liu Ruyan appeared on the verge of tears. “Wang Qi, I’m truly struggling alone in the Charm Sect. The pressure is immense.”
