Chapter 86: The Poisonous Widow Body.

Chapter 85: The Poisonous Widow Body.

‘So this the Saint Grade Palace Artifact Treasurer Meng talked about?’ Su Mu’s right hand rested on the thin, golden barrier ahead of him. He injected his True Qi into the barrier to inspect its condition and commented, “It seems like the Artifact Refiner who created this was rather skilled. There aren’t any obvious flaws in its formation…”

Su Mu had tried to inspect the insides of the barrier, but in the first attempt, his Divine Sense bounced off the surface, only succeeding in his second attempt after seeping through the small openings within the barrier.

That was why he complimented the one who made this artifact.

“Of course. The one who created it was one of the best Artifact Refiners in the Tomg Xuan Realm. Even at full power, this Old Master cannot easily break the barrier…”

Meng Wuya landed behind Su Mu, followed by Xia Ning Chang, and the two of them gazed at the barrier in front of them, which held a decently large house inside it.

It was the place where Meng Wuya had imprisoned Shan Qing Luo.

While the Beguiling Demon Queen surrendered without trouble after the Tyrannical Force King and Thunderbolt Beast King’s deaths, she was still a 1st Order Transcendent Realm Cultivator.

Meng Wuya couldn’t suppress her cultivation base with his current strength, at least not without her cooperation, so he had no choice but to use his Palace Artifact to hold her inside this house.

There was no way for someone from this small world to break through it. Meng Wuya was confident that even the Demon Lord couldn’t do anything against his artifact.

“Are you sure you don’t want this Old Master to accompany you inside?”

“It’s alright, Treasurer Meng.”

Su Mu didn’t even think twice about denying Meng Wuya’s offer, which made the latter sigh.

“Be careful, brat… Shan Qing Luo can’t escape from this artifact, but that doesn’t mean she’s an easy target. Don’t end up getting seduced and do something that Chang’er wouldn’t like…”

While Su Mu resisted Shan Qing Luo’s seduction techniques before because she wasn’t targeting someone, Meng Wuya knew that it would be a whole different story to face something like that head-on.

“I only want some information about the Ash Grey Cloud Evil Land and the Demon Lord, Yang Bai…”

If someone knew about Yang Bai’s goals and plans, it’d be Shan Qing Luo. Not to mention, she could also tell Su Mu whether he could find numerous resentful spirits within the Ash Grey Cloud Evil Land or not. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to refine the Heaven’s Cave Inheritance before reaching the Saint Realm.

“In that case, I’ll open the barrier for you.”

“It’s fine…”

Meng Wuya seemed confused at Su Mu’s words, but he didn’t explain further, knocking on the barrier in front of him as if it were a door, and the moment he did—

“What?!”

Meng Wuya’s eyes widened as the barrier in front of them flickered, opening a path wide enough for a single person to walk inside.

“What’s wrong, Treasurer Meng?”

Su Mu turned around and looked at Meng Wuya with a smile. Now that the old man knew of his capabilities and how he was the ‘inheritor’ of the Demon God from the Tong Xuan Realm, Su Mu didn’t need to hold back too much.

‘To break an artifact that even the strongest cultivators on the Tong Xuan Realm can’t…’

Meng Wuya was at a loss for words, so much so that he couldn’t even form a reply. If the inheritor of a Saint King Realm cultivator could do things like that, he couldn’t even imagine what kind of powers the original Demon God once held.

{These surprises aren’t good for Master’s heart…}

Xia Ning Chang’s telepathic message rang inside Su Mu’s head, and he walked inside the open barrier with a small laugh.

While the Saint Grade Palace Artifact didn’t have any obvious flaws, there were bound to be some errors in its formations, and all Su Mu did was utilize them to his advantage.

No matter how well-built an artifact was, there was no way an Open Heaven Grade Artifact Refiner like him wouldn’t be able to find and extort a few flaws in it.

{I’m sure Treasurer Meng will get used to it eventually…}

{Let’s hope so. Take care, Brother Su…}

{Yes. I’ll be back soon.}

As those words ended, the barrier behind Su Mu closed, and he gave her a small nod before walking inside the house.

.

.

.

‘This is…’

As soon as Su Mu walked inside the house, a sweet lingering aroma entered his nose.

The scent was neither heavy nor light, but it was similar to a pleasant bouquet, one that carried a hint of an aphrodisiac effect.

‘For her scent to have an aphrodisiac effect while cultivating even with the meager cultivation of 1st Order Transcendent Realm…’

Su Mu’s eyes landed on Shan Qing Luo, who sat down cross-legged on the ground not far away. Her True Qi surged, and her eyes closed as she circulated her Secret Art.

From how it looked, rather than wasting her time, she decided to use this opportunity to cultivate her Secret Art in silence instead.

‘It seems like even before inheriting the Heavenly Moon Demon Spider’s Source, Shan Qing Luo possessed a Special Physique that lets humans have traces of Monster Race’s bloodline…’

Su Mu could tell that much after witnessing Shan Qing Luo circulate her Evil Secret Art.

The Special Physique probably allowed her to inherit the Heavenly Moon Demon Spider’s Divine Spirit Source without much trouble.

‘Maybe her appearance is also part of her Special Physique?’

Looking at Shan Qing Luo again, Su Mu had to admit that she was beautiful even without her Seduction Techniques, not to mention extremely attractive. Every part of her seemed to scream the word ‘seductive,’ especially the tiny tear-shaped mole under her eyes.

But her appearance wasn’t what interested Su Mu the most right now.

“I know you’re awake; stop pretending to be in a trance…”

Shan Qing Luo’s eyelids twitched slightly at his words, and she slowly opened her eyes, gazing at Su Mu, who stood a small distance away from her.

Although she tried to hide it behind a sweet smile, she couldn’t conceal the traces of fear in her eyes, and despite appearing to be relaxed, she secretly gathered her True Qi to defend herself in case something happened.

“You aren’t my opponent in battle, so I’ll advise you not to get any strange ideas. I only came here to talk…”

“How did you…” Shan Qing Luo visibly flinched at his words, unable to contain her surprise. ‘I haven’t even properly gathered my True Qi yet…’

However, Su Mu didn’t care much about her reaction, walking over and sitting cross-legged in front of her.

Both of them knew what he said was true.

After what happened during the battle at the Hidden Cloud Peak, it’d be stupid if Shan Qing Luo still had the guts to face him head-on.

“Is there any place in the Ash Grey Cloud Evil Land that I can collect a lot of souls from? It doesn’t matter if they’re resentful spirits…”

Shang Qing Luo didn’t understand why he would ask such a question, but she nodded.

‘What’s happening to me…’

Meanwhile, Shan Qing Luo was barely holding onto her sanity. As her body grew hotter, her breathing became hectic, and her large breasts heaved up and down roughly in his arms.

She knew she needed to straighten her mind, but she couldn’t do anything as Su Mu pushed her down to the ground and pinned her hands above her head, with his other hand resting on her waist.

Su Mu brought his mouth near her ear and slowly whispered. “There’s no need to resist. I won’t hurt you…”

His voice sounded extremely enchanting to her ears, and coupled with the light breath she felt over her earlobe, it sent shivers down Shan Qing Luo’s spine.

“Give your body to me; surrender to the pleasure…”

It sounded like the devil’s whisper.

‘No. If this continues, I’ll lose my mind…’

The more she heard his voice, the harder it became for her to focus.

She knew it was a trap, but she couldn’t resist.

“All you have to do is let go…”

Shan Qing Luo felt goosebumps all over her body, and it felt like she’d melt in Su Mu’s arms as he brought his face right above hers.

Even though her vision was blurry, she could see Su Mu’s face clearly, and looking at him made her wonder… Was this how everyone who saw her felt—being completely mesmerized and unable to look away?

“It’s alright… You don’t have to think so much about it. Let go of all your worries…”

Su Mu smiled at Shan Qing Luo, lowering his head and kissing her once again, which caused the last thoughts she had about resisting to vanish into thin air.

.

.

.

“Mmh~!”

Shan Qing Luo suppressed a loud moan, slowly opening her eyes. Her vision and mind were blurry, and she could barely think.

‘That’s right. I did it… with that bastard.’

She remembered everything that happened between her and Su Mu, which made her wonder what happened to him.

Considering the fate that Shan Qing Luo’s Poisonous Widow Body had in store for her partner, Su Mu’s end most likely wasn’t good.

At least, that was what she thought until…

“Oh. You’re awake…”

A small, mischievous chuckle came from above her, and Shan Qing Luo’s eyes widened, only to find Su Mu sitting on a chair in front of her.

“Don’t mind me…” Su Mu held back a laugh while looking down at her with a small smile, his eyes slowly descending to her body. “As you were…”

Shan Qing Luo then looked down at her body, only to realize that she was completely naked, her left hand massaging her breasts while her right hand went in between her legs, vigorously pleasuring herself.

“You’ve been pleasuring yourself for almost an hour. Why stop now?”

At those words, Shan Qing Luo’s dizziness vanished almost instantly, and her face flushed bright red in embarrassment. She hurriedly covered her voluptuous breasts with her left hand and tightly shut her legs, glaring at Su Mu with tears in her eyes.

A Transcendent Realm Cultivator like her, one of the most feared existence in this small world, and someone the entirety of Ash Grey Cloud Evil Land admired… Pleasuring herself for almost an hour in front of someone else?

The mere thought made her want to dig a grave and bury herself in it.

“For an enchantress, you sure know how to act like an innocent maiden…”

Su Mu couldn’t help but laugh out loud at her reaction, which made Shan Qing Luo even more embarrassed.

“Hey…” Su Mu rested his elbows above his knees and leaned forward, looking into Shan Qing Luo’s eyes. “How about we make a deal?”

“What kind of deal…?”

“Your Special Physique grants you traces of Monster Race’s bloodline, right?”

“How did you know?”

Shan Qing Luo’s eyes widened. Not even the Demon Lord, someone whose cultivation surpassed the limits of this world, couldn’t tell that.

“Here’s my offer. I’ll give you a Cultivation Technique that will not only purify your bloodline the more you cultivate it but also let you control the downsides of your Special Physique…”

The fact that he mentioned her Special Physique’s downsides meant he knew a lot more about her than she imagined.

“And what do you want in return?”

She knew it wouldn’t be anything good, but her heart dropped when Su Mu continued in a solemn voice. “Willingly let me place a brand on your soul…”

‘Willingly, he said…’

Shan Qing Luo understood the meaning behind those words. Su Mu was more than capable of forcefully implanting a soul brand inside her Knowledge Sea if he wanted to.

“What if I denied that offer?”

“Then…” Su Mu stood up from his chair and unsheathed the sword hanging on his waist, placing the tip of its blade next to Shan Qing Luo’s neck. “I’ll have no choice but to behead you as someone loyal to the Demon Lord…”

She could tell from the look in his eyes. One wrong move and her head would go flying before she could even surge her True Qi to defend herself.

“I originally planned on offering a contract for you to cooperate with me against Yang Bai in exchange for letting you escape, but when you tried to seduce me, I changed my mind…”

Gulp!*

The blade moved closer to her neck, and Shan Qing Luo unknowingly gulped.

At this point, she had no choice but to submit.

However, there was something she couldn’t bring herself to say after noticing the look in Su Mu’s eyes—something only she knew.

Thanks to what happened earlier, her Poisonous Widow Body had marked the man in front of her, someone who was ready to behead her at a moment’s notice, as her sole lifelong lover.

I know I kinda fucked up the last two or three chapters, but I won’t rewrite them and follow along with the story. Let’s use them as a life lesson for Mc to put some effort into cultivation.

Right. He isn’t nerfed. He can (and will) make up for the lack of foundation in the upcoming chapter.

Anyway, now I know what y’all want. Here we go again.

About this chapter: The last part is from Shan Qing Luo’s POV, so don’t take everything at face value.
