Chapter 15
【Why is this old demon so good at this? I refuse to believe he hasn't flirted with other girls before.】
【Good looks, great figure, high combat power, knows how to give gifts, and can sweet-talk to make his girlfriend happy. He's also a homebody who doesn't flirt around. He completely outshines that dog Sang! How can a man like this not be the main character's? It's just not scientific, unless he's impotent.】
【What are you saying? Should all good men in the world belong to the main character?】
【Duh, that's why she's the main character! I think the supporting character's aura has already overshadowed the main character, it's just absurd!】
【As stated in the official announcement, this is already a real and well-developed world. Words can only present one possibility arranged by the author, but people can have countless different choices. Otherwise, why not just watch a scripted performance?】
【Why are the main character's fans still crying after all this time? If you can't stand it, just don't watch. Go read the original novel instead.】
【The old demon has lived for over a thousand years, could he still be a virgin? Since the demon said that, Nie Yinzhi, isn't it reasonable for you to redeem him?】
【Start with the body first! Don't let the poor guy suffer too much.】
【I want to see the supporting character push down the demon, tear off his clothes, and make a mess of him. Nie Yinzhi, don't be stubborn, or I'll beg you on my knees!】
Nie Yinzhi "pfft" laughed, unable to hold it in any longer.
The comments really ruined the atmosphere!
She was just starting to feel her heart race, but then a barrage of screaming comments flooded her peripheral vision, instantly calming her down. All the excitement was gone.
Gu Jiang saw her laughing and immediately lay back down.
Nie Yinzhi pushed him, "Is there still someone spying outside?"
"Gone."
Nie Yinzhi didn't want to waste more time lying around with him, so she got up to bathe and freshen up. She changed into a light pink dress, the fabric thin and wrapped around her graceful figure, with a layer of cool moonlight gauze draped over it, making her look like she could take flight with every step.
Without a maid to help, Nie Yinzhi wasn't very good at doing her hair herself, so she could only tie it up in the simplest style and add some ornaments.
In the mirror, her features seemed to have changed slightly, but looking closely, she couldn't pinpoint what exactly had changed. Anyway, she lived up to Gu Jiang's description of her as a "gorgeous beauty."
She rummaged through her makeup box, patiently outlining her eyebrows and applying lip rouge. The nail polish on her fingers was a bit chipped, so Nie Yinzhi wiped off the residue. She couldn't do a good job of reapplying it herself, so she decided to take the tools to the big demon.
Gu Jiang woke up to her nudging him and was about to show his displeasure when a drop of blood was squeezed into his mouth.
Nie Yinzhi wiped the blood from her fingertip on his lips, using Five-Colored Dew to heal the wound, all very naturally.
Gu Jiang: "……" Although speechless, he licked his lips quite honestly.
He sat up, pressing his fingers to his temples with a troubled expression, "What else do you want to do?"
"My nail polish is chipped, and I can't do it myself." Nie Yinzhi raised her hands, looking at him expectantly.
Gu Jiang glanced at the assortment of items laid out on the bed: a small, indigo-blue, silver-patterned rouge box, a stack of crumpled lotus leaf pieces, and a bundle of small cloth strips. It looked like a troublesome task, "Your fingers are already very pretty, you don't need this."
"They can be even prettier." Nie Yinzhi wouldn't be swayed by his sweet talk, preemptively blocking his objections, "You've already accepted the reward, you can't refuse."
Gu Jiang was eventually coaxed and cajoled out of bed by her and sat on a soft couch in the courtyard.
Nie Yinzhi used one of his fingers as a demonstration, teaching him step by step, "First, scoop some flower paste and apply it to the nails like this, then wrap the tips of the fingers with lotus leaves and tie them up. Isn't it simple?"
Gu Jiang's fingers were long and slender, with round nails, very handsome. Nie Yinzhi picked up a lotus leaf to wrap around his fingertip, "But be gentle, don't get it outside, or your fingers will turn red and look bad."
She said that, but she couldn't do it well herself, smearing the flower paste all over his fingers.
In the past, Cheng Bi always did this for her. Nie Yinzhi had only seen her do it, and it was her first time trying it herself, so her movements were quite clumsy.
"Alright, I get it," Gu Jiang pulled his hand back, wiped off the flower paste, and stretched out his hand to her, "Give me your hand."
Begging someone for help, Nie Yinzhi had no choice but to trust him.
【I'm dying of laughter, can Yu Yaoqing come back and take a peek now? This is the true face of the demon who has the entire cultivation world on edge.】
【Cultivation World: The demon must be plotting to destroy the world. Demon: Forced out of bed to do nail art.】
【What kind of old married couple life is this? I'm sweetened to death.】
【Big Demon, haven't you noticed Yinzhi changed into a pretty dress, put on a hairpin, and did her makeup? Why not compliment her a few times? Are your big eyes just for decoration?】
【The supporting character is dressed so flashily, is she going to seduce the demon? Sigh, sigh.】
【Nie Yinzhi, I beg you, don't turn the demon lord into a sister!】
Gu Jiang held her fingers, his brows furrowed tightly, focusing on applying the nail polish.
Nie Yinzhi was amused by the comments, her eyes twinkling, and suddenly she had an idea. A wisp of her consciousness flowed into the curse mark on her wrist, merging with the only small leaf on the golden sprout.
A strange joy surged into Gu Jiang's heart, his movements paused, and the foreign emotion made his brow involuntarily relax, a smile curling his lips.
"What is this?" Gu Jiang asked, puzzled.
Nie Yinzhi was very happy, and the happier she was, the stronger the wave of joy that surged into Gu Jiang's heart, each wave carrying joy, almost making him feel like he was drowning.
Nie Yinzhi shook her right hand with the lotus leaf-wrapped fingertips, "It's also one of the derivative spells under the Symbiosis Curse, called 'Empathy.' I can share my emotions with you or secretly spy on your emotions, but don't worry, I won't spy on you casually."
This spell could impose her desires on Gu Jiang, subtly forcing him to fulfill her wishes. For example, if she wanted to leave here, as long as she constantly fed this thought to him, it wouldn't be long before Gu Jiang would also develop the same idea.
"What you're feeling now is my current mood," Nie Yinzhi stared into his eyes, curious, "What do you feel now?"
Gu Jiang smiled, "Just happy."
"You're the one who's happy," Nie Yinzhi softly retorted.
Gu Jiang pondered for a moment, savoring the emotions in his heart, "You also want me to compliment you?" He looked her up and down, indulging her, "You do look very beautiful today."
Nie Yinzhi's cheeks flushed slightly, a bit embarrassed, and she broke off the "Empathy," muttering, "Was I not beautiful before?"
Gu Jiang only felt his heart like the receding tide, returning to a dull and uninteresting state, "What other derivatives did you learn? Show them all to me."
"The Ruan Family's curse techniques are exquisite, and although I have exceptional talent, in such a short time, I've only learned three," Nie Yinzhi raised her chin, not at all modest in her self-praise, "Damage Transfer, Empathy, and one more is Sensory Control."
She enthusiastically said, "Are you sure you want to try?"
Gu Jiang leaned back, keenly sensing her mischievous intentions, "If I refuse now, will you agree?"
"Of course not, the mighty demon lord can't go back on his word," Nie Yinzhi gave him a "here we go" look, silently running the incantation, she drew the golden sprout from the curse mark on her wrist, the golden leaf floating out, and saw a beam of spiritual light converging on the leaf.
"I'll start by depriving you of your sight."
As she spoke, Gu Jiang's vision suddenly went dark. His pupils dilated, and his ink-black eyes were shrouded in a misty fog.
Nie Yinzhi waved her hand in front of his eyes, and Gu Jiang's gaze remained unmoved, "Stop waving, I can't see."
"Then I'll continue?" Nie Yinzhi said, and subsequently sealed his hearing, smell, and taste, suppressing her laughter and heightening his touch sensitivity to an extremely sensitive level.
—She had suffered in the Five-Colored Dew, and now she wanted him to suffer too.
Gu Jiang was only a step away from ascending, but he took a step back himself. His senses were already extremely sharp, and now there was an indescribable subtlety around him.
Under Nie Yinzhi's control, his sense of touch seemed to have sharpened in the wrong direction. A slight breeze on his exposed skin could provoke an exaggerated reaction, bringing him a stimulation entirely different from usual, even the friction of his clothing became uncomfortable.
Nie Yinzhi removed the lotus leaf wrapped around her fingers, and the cinnabar on her nails was dyed successfully, a deep, clear red. She reached out and touched Gu Jiang's Adam's apple.
Gu Jiang shuddered violently, his breathing suddenly intensifying, and he grabbed her wrist.
Nie Yinzhi winced in pain and struggled to free her hand. Unable to touch him, she turned to touch the golden leaf on her wrist instead.
Gu Jiang propped himself up on the soft couch, trembling slightly, his sleeves falling to cover his front. He swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly, barely noticeable, and said, "Nie Yinzhi, that's enough."
Demonic energy wrapped around her wrist, tightly enveloping the small leaf and hiding it away.
[Holy shit, touching the leaf can make the demon feel something too? He looks like he's enjoying it]
[This Symbiosis Curse is too erotic! What other derivative techniques are there, let's see them!]
[I could rub this leaf until it's ruined, until the demon is so turned on he's crawling all over the place.]
[Oh my god, so erotic, so erotic, so erotic, let's bind Feng Hanying too, let them both crawl]
[If you turn on Empathy and Sensory Control at the same time, wouldn't that be explosive?]
[To be honest, I think this curse is a bit... isn't it really a form of marital arts?]
[Holy crap! I get it now! Even if Gu Jiang is lazy, Nie Yinzhi can literally make him hard with her hands.]
[So the question is, now that the demon is hard, is Nie Yinzhi going to do anything about it?]
She wasn't going to, even if she could, she wouldn't dare.
Nie Yinzhi was threatened by the demonic energy swirling around her, a bone-chilling cold seeping into her skin and drilling into her bones. She was overwhelmed by extreme fear, as if she would be ground to ashes at any moment.
Under the vast difference in their realms, Nie Yinzhi was completely controlled by his aura, unable to even catch her breath.
The Demon Sealing Mark on her head glowed brightly, covering the entire sky, and the light intertwined with the demonic energy.
Nie Yinzhi had never felt such intense killing intent from Gu Jiang before, like being doused with a bucket of ice water, from head to toe.
She seemed to have gone a bit too far.
Nie Yinzhi retracted her hand and released Gu Jiang's sealed senses.
Light flooded back into his eyes, and Gu Jiang closed them for a moment to adjust before opening them again.
Aliali: 674aecfcc4f3f33ac49acb42Nie Yinzhi sat across from him, her face pale, biting her lip and saying, "You told me to try."
Gu Jiang, unaware of his demonic energy's previous loss of control, saw the glow of the Demon Sealing Mark and reached out to pull her.
Nie Yinzhi panicked and pulled back, stepping back two paces, still not fully recovered from the recent death threat, her eyes lingering with fear.
Gu Jiang was momentarily disoriented, a long-buried memory stirred.
He had been looked at with such fearful eyes by many people before.
For a very, very long time, wherever he went, he was met with such fearful gazes.
He was not accepted by the heavens, nor by people.
Gu Jiang retracted his hand, "Sorry."
Nie Yinzhi glanced at him, suppressing the lingering fear in her heart, and reached out to hold his hand that was hanging down. Suddenly, the barrier above them shook violently, cracks spreading like spiderwebs across the sky, and the entire Pill-Forming Peak trembled.
The sealing barrier was broken.
