Deviant: No Longer Human Chapter 98: You can fight, resist, or submit—it matters litt

i Leiyan, "... I realized it early on.... You probably didn't co back the entire night during that day."

Wang Xiao, seemingly unaffected, comnted, "Too bad."

i Leiyan's face suddenly darkened upon hearing his nonchalant response. "Wang Xiao, it's not a joke. You can't play such cruel pranks on . Yesterday it was aphrodisiac; what if soday it is poison?"

Wang Xiao shook his head dismissively, "I didn't an it for that."

i Leiyan, suspicious, halted in her tracks and asked, "Then what did you an it for?"

"That," Wang Xiao pointed to the glass of water he had handed over to her, "It appears I just mixed in the aphrodisiac again."

"...", i Leiyan, her disbelief transforming into frustration, stood in a stunned silence.

Wang Xiao, still composed, queried, "So what now?"

i Leiyan, "I am leaving..."

In resignation, she stood up, the rhythmic tapping of her legs against the wooden floor echoing her disappointnt as she headed for the door.

As i Leiyan gracefully moved towards the door, her exposed skin and the open-back dress adding to the allure , Wang Xiao couldn't resist the urge to turn his chair around, breaking into a mocking laughter, "You sure about that?"

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

Each exit was forcefully closed, the echoes resonating in the room. Wang Xiao, with red eyes focused on i Leiyan, nonchalantly shrugged, a sinister smile curling on his lips, "It appears there's no escape for you today."

!?

i Leiyan, her frustration turning into realization, stood there in silent contemplation.

Glancing left, she noticed the little sparrow still perched outside the window. However, before she could react, the window curtains glided seamlessly, concealing the outside world and sealing off her last chance for freedom.

!?

The tension in the room grew thick, and i Leiyan, realizing she was cornered, turned around to face Wang Xiao.

i Leiyan, with a forced calmness, spoke, "Wang Xiao, what do you want?"

Wang Xiao, still wearing that sinister smile, leaned back in his chair, "Oh, nothing much. Just a little chat. About our past, present, and maybe a hint of the future."

i Leiyan, growing more uneasy, demanded, "Why are you doing this?"

Wang Xiao's laughter echoed, "Why not? It's amusing. Besides, it's not every day I get the chance to have a private conversation with you."

i Leiyan's fists clenched, a slight tremor coursing through her body. "We have had this conversation so many tis in the past, Wang Xiao, and I don't want to keep repeating myself."

Wang Xiao continued to smile, seemingly unfazed by her frustration.

i Leiyan, her patience wearing thin, stated, "There are other ways to pursue a woman, Wang Xiao. Do you want to spend zero effort and just sleep with ? Don't you think for a mont before words spill out of your mouth?"

Wang Xiao, maintaining his nonchalant deanor, responded, "And I have said so many tis, sleeping directly is the most efficient way."

"You!?" i Leiyan's eyes bulged open as she stord closer to him in a surge of anger.

As i Leiyan closed the distance, her frustration transford into a potent glare directed at Wang Xiao.

She stopped just inches away, and her words ca out through gritted teeth, "You find this amusing, don't you? Playing with people's feelings, treating everything like a ga."

Wang Xiao's smile wavered slightly, but he maintained his composure. "Life is a ga, i Leiyan. So people just refuse to acknowledge it."

i Leiyan's expression twisted with a mixture of anger and disappointnt. "You're not even taking this seriously, are you? Do you think everything is a joke?"

Wang Xiao leaned forward, his eyes locking onto hers with an intensity that revealed a subtle undercurrent of seriousness. "I take life very seriously, i Leiyan. It's just that I have my own way of navigating through it. Ti is a luxury one can't afford; I prefer to choose the most efficient course of action."

i Leiyan, growing more frustrated by his cryptic responses, snapped, "What do you want from , then? What's your most efficient course of action for ?"

Leiyan suddenly felt a force against her back, her eyes widening as she found herself seated on his lap.

Wang Xiao took a deep breath, his face positioned just behind her hair, which he skillfully pulled aside, placing his chin over her shoulder.

"My plan for you?" he mocked, his warm breath sending shivers down her spine. "Yanyan, you're too naive if you think I need so elaborate sche for you. I am stronger, bigger, and better than you. What plan could I possibly need?"

His hand wrapped around her waist, holding her in place as she began to struggle. "Wang Xiao, I dare you..."

Wang Xiao chuckled, his voice a low murmur against her ear, "Dare what? I can push you down right here and ravage you like beasts. What can you do? Cry? Is that all you can do?"

Leiyan's heart raced, a mix of fear and uncertainty coursing through her.

She squird in his grasp, attempting to break free. "Let go of , Wang Xiao. This is crossing a line."

!!

Wang Xiao's grip tightened slightly, his fingers tracing a teasing path along her shoulder. His tone, gentle yet terrifying to those who heard, "Crossing a line, that's it?"

i Leiyan suddenly flinched, a shiver running down her spine as he took a deliberate step closer.

His lips brushed against the sensitive skin of her neck, sending an unexpected chill through her body.

Her eyes, clouded with impending tears, and mist.

"I should have never saved you..." she whispered, closing her eyelids, a trace of regret in her voice, as his hands skillfully slid down her shoulders, pulling her dress slightly.

"You shouldn't, but you did... Now stop being a crybaby," Wang Xiao responded, his words a taunt wrapped in indifference.

*Thud...*

i Leiyan was pushed down onto the cold wooden floor, her back eting its unforgiving surface as Wang Xiao lood over her. Their eyes locked briefly before his thumb traced her lips, a mocking gesture.

"See, it was this easy, and you've been dragging it all along."

i Leiyan's eyes, though teary, held a determined anger as her lips remained sealed, a fierce glare fixed on him.

Wang Xiao chuckled, an unsettling mix of amusent and arrogance coloring his tone. "Your stubborn silence won't change anything, Yanyan. Let enlighten you with the simplicity of life."

His fingers moved deliberately, undoing the buttons of her dress with practiced ease.

i Leiyan's struggle intensified, a silent plea in her eyes, but Wang Xiao continued his actions with an air of detached determination.

"You can fight, resist, or submit—it matters little. In the end, the outco is inevitable," he remarked coldly. As the dress loosened enough, he pulled it down to her abdon, exposing her milky white skin.
