The rising steam reddened that stunning visage.
Bai Mo stared dazedly at Luo Xiu, who was rrily swimming ahead, her mind montarily blank.
I clearly spread my Divine Sense all around the lake, so how could this profligate still sneak up on ? Was I just lost in thought and not paying attention?
As she was pondering, Luo Xiu suddenly flipped onto his back and began to backstroke.
"It's been a while since I last had a swim. Bai, how about a race to see who's faster?"
As the saying goes, n are boys until they die. The mont they see water, they just have to dive in for a few laps, especially in a hot spring as comfortable as this.
Bai Mo did not respond to Luo Xiu, instead slowly sinking down until the water reached her neck. Amidst the swirling steam, her cheeks grew hot and red.
When Luo Xiu switched to the backstroke just now, I saw that wretched thing again.
"Bai, what are you thinking about?" Luo Xiu suddenly kicked his legs, gliding straight toward her.
Seeing him swim over, Bai Mo beca instantly panicked. She was the dignified White Demon Empress, the supre ruler of the Demon Realm. She had lived for countless eons and had never felt as anxious as she did at this mont.
"Don't co…"
However, before she could finish the word, Luo Xiu's hand landed on her shoulder.
He laughed breezily. "Don't worry, I'm not into that. We're both grown n, so why are you acting all bashful like a girl…"
But before he could finish, the smile on his face froze. The smoothness of her skin, the faint fragrance that drifted to his nose, and the long, silver hair swaying in the water… It all made him realize sothing was very wrong.
After all, I'm not an idiot, and I'm not blind.
Silence fell. Luo Xiu slowly lowered his gaze, and through the clear water, he saw the faint outlines of two magnificent, snow-white peaks.
"Sh-She really is a woman," Luo Xiu swallowed hard, muttering as if compelled by so mischievous spirit.
A sudden silence descended.
With her head bowed, Bai Mo's body was rigid and trembling slightly.
Even I don't know why I'm so nervous and scared right now. I am the great Demon Empress! What in this world could possibly make afraid?
Yet the sensation on her shoulder sent a jolt through her, making her body go weak and limp for a mont.
So, this is what it feels like to be touched. To be touched by a man.
In the quiet, Luo Xiu slowly withdrew his hand from her shoulder. "Uh… sorry to interrupt. I'll be going now."
"Don't…" Bai Mo's voice was a re whisper.
Hearing this, Luo Xiu paused for a mont but still pulled his hand back.
Bai Mo suddenly spun around and hugged him, burying her face in his neck and exhaling her faint, sweet scent.
"Hold . Don't let go."
I don't want this feeling to end. I want to hold onto it forever.
A wry smile touched Luo Xiu's lips. He gently pushed her away and turned his back to her.
"Bai—no, I should say Miss Bai. Since you're a woman in disguise, why didn't you say so earlier? You made … I'm so sorry. I didn't do it on purpose."
"I told you not to let go!" Bai Mo's tone suddenly turned hard as ice.
In an instant, a vast and powerful aura erupted, immobilizing Luo Xiu. At the sa ti, a formidable pressure enveloped the entire Thousand Eyes Lake region, sending all the creatures in the vicinity fleeing for cover. This was the might of the Demon Empress!
At that mont, Bai Mo no longer showed the shyness of a young girl.
Even I'm surprised. I don't understand why I acted so shy. I'm the Demon Empress!
"Since you've found out, so be it… From the day I was born, I get whatever I want."
Luo Xiu took a deep breath. "What do you an?"
Bai Mo spoke in an imperious tone, "Submit to , be my man, co back with , and belong only to forever."
Luo Xiu gritted his teeth, struggling against her power. "What if I refuse?" he asked, his voice strained.
Bai Mo's face was expressionless. "Then I will beat you until you submit."
Luo Xiu suddenly broke free from her restraint, bursting from the water and soaring into the sky.
From the lake, Bai Mo slowly ascended. The water droplets on her skin evaporated into steam, and her silver hair danced in the air. A luxurious white dress materialized around her out of thin air, concealing the magnificent view.
"It has co to this. You only have one choice."
Luo Xiu managed a bitter smile. "Miss Bai, this is really unnecessary."
Bai Mo said no more. In the blink of an eye, she appeared before him. An invisible pressure, as tangible as a physical weight, crushed down on Luo Xiu. He didn't have ti to react before a fist landed on his face, sending him shooting toward the ground like an arrow.
Bai Mo shadowed him like a phantom. The instant before he hit the ground, a beautiful leg shot out from beneath her white dress. The hard crystal high heel made intimate contact with his rear, kicking him straight back into the sky.
With another graceful flash, Bai Mo was on him again, a persistent shadow!
An instant and a flurry of WHACKS and THUMPS later, Luo Xiu was half-kneeling on the ground in utter misery. In truth, Bai Mo wasn't hitting him with her full force, but for so reason, he couldn't even land a single blow. Even his speed, his greatest pride, was useless against her.
Only then did I realize just how vast the gap in our power was.
Bai Mo landed softly and walked unhurriedly toward him. Her long white dress swayed in the wind, offering a glimpse of slender legs sheathed in patterned white stockings. She stopped before him, looking down imperiously. Her cool, dark-red eyes held an irresistible majesty.
"Even Guijian Chou wouldn't dare claim victory against . You're too inexperienced, not nearly strong enough."
Luo Xiu groaned inwardly.
"Miss Bai, this is really uncalled for. You've already beaten up. If you push too far, I'll drag you down with !"
Bai Mo's face remained impassive. "Drag down with you? Do you think you're worthy?"
Luo Xiu gave a bitter smile. "What do I look like, a damn locksmith? Stop asking if I'm a match for you."
Bai Mo spoke coolly, "It's just as the North City Lord said. In the Celestial Realm, your strength would barely be presentable."
Luo Xiu shot to his feet, his body radiating an aura of Azure Spiritual Power.
"If you're going to force my hand, then let's fight!"
I have no choice now; I can't hide my power any longer. Even if it ans risking the side effects of my constitution, I have to deal with this woman first!
However, when Bai Mo saw the Azure Spiritual Power, she paused. A long ti ago, she had heard a story from the Mortal Realm. It was about a young man who had nearly torn a hole in the sky itself. That young man, she recalled, had Azure Spiritual Power.
"I see," Bai Mo mused, a sudden smile gracing her lips.
Feeling the aura emanating from his Azure Spiritual Power, she finally understood why he had been unaffected by her touch.
"Ao Debiao, you're mine now!"
A pair of Lustrous Thunder Wings sprouted from Luo Xiu's back, and he shot upward, intending to teach Bai Mo a lesson. But with a casual motion, Bai Mo caught him, her hand closing around his neck.
"Did you think you were the only one with the Power of Laws?"
Luo Xiu's eyes widened in shock. Before he could react, a white ribbon erged from The Void and wrapped tightly around him.
With a single step, Bai Mo vanished, taking Luo Xiu with her.
***
「In a adow, far from Thousand Eyes Lake.」
Bai Mo casually tossed Luo Xiu onto the ground. He was bound by the strange white ribbon, unable to move an inch.
This white ribbon must be like my own Destructive Thunder Wings, a manifestation of so Power of Laws.
"Miss Bai, what the hell do you want? Tying up this tight… you have so kind of kink or sothing?"
Bai Mo ignored him, leaning down to slowly press herself against his chest.
He tensed, his breath catching as he inhaled her faint fragrance. A wave of nervousness washed over him.
I feel like her prey right now.
Bai Mo gazed at him, her face a mask of indifference, as her full, pink-purple lips drew closer to his. Suddenly, her lips parted, exhaling a faint fragrance. "I want your Fortune-Forming Power."
