Introspection

"What a wonderful place," Aina praised without hesitation.

The Elven Queen's bedchamber was quite luxurious, and the space was exceptionally vast. What lay before them was not just a simple room, but a seamlessly integrated structure. Rows of neat stone pillars divided the space into independent areas.

There were no lamps or candles on the domed ceiling above or on the walls on either side, yet the room remained brightly lit. The translucent crystals decorating the dome absorbed sunlight during the day and emitted a soft, glowing light at night.

The first thing to catch the eye was a verdant spiritual spring, looking like a massive, warm piece of jade. To the left of the spring was a giant bed carved from the stump of an ancient tree, with draped veils supported by unknown branches. On the other side of the spring was a delicate miniature botanical garden, with exquisite flowers arranged on ancient vine trellises.

A gleaming, spotless white marble path connected the three areas. Even if Aina walked barefoot through any of these places, her feet would return pristine enough to eat off of.

Deeper within the miniature botanical garden grew several fruit trees, bearing enticing, bright red fruits.

Further to the left of the large bed was an area displaying bookshelves, neatly lined with many ancient books and scrolls, a number of which featured slightly scratched metal corners or worn gemstones.

The bookshelves formed a semi-circle around a long wooden table in the center. The table displayed the natural grain of the wood, giving the area a highly atmospheric feel.

Even though these areas served completely different functions, their strange division by the stone pillars and simultaneous integration into a single space did not feel odd or out of place at all.

"I am glad it meets your satisfaction, Lady Aina. If you have any other needs, please ring the bell on the table... Usually, no one else passes by here," Sletta said, seemingly emphasizing that last point.

Sletta swept her gaze around the hall once more, pulled the door shut, and left.

Aina spread her arms and, with the uninhibited abandon of a young girl, fell onto the large round bed and rolled around.

"Xia Lun, let's begin," Aina said, licking her lips.

Direct and to the point, utterly uninhibited.

There was none of the shyness of young lovers, only the open and candid ease of a married couple.

"Aina, are we starting? Right now, right here?" Xia Lun's gaze turned a bit peculiar.

"That's right, Xia Lun. I am the Demon King, and you are the Hero!" For some reason, Aina suddenly felt the urge to declare their identities. "We possess the strongest power, and this world rightfully belongs to us. No matter what we do, it is justice..."

"What are you talking about?"

"I mean, don't dawdle." Aina wrapped her arms around Xia Lun's neck, pulling him down to lie beside her, sinking into the soft mattress. "We need to properly enjoy life."

"An unchanging life is a bit too boring, Aina," Xia Lun gently shook his head. "I mean, we should have some pursuits."

"Pursuits?"

"Like this and that, and that and this," Xia Lun whispered into Aina's ear.

Aina patted the spot next to her, and Xia Lun lay down.

Aina shook her head and sighed, "My lovely Xia Lun, what are we going to do if this keeps up... You are simply a mindless beast..."

Xia Lun: ...

Was she introducing herself?

Who knows who actually brought it up first.

"It can't be helped. As your wife, I will properly accept you." Aina's long silver hair draped over Xia Lun's face.

Flames instantly enveloped the two of them, burning away their clothes.

The Demon King's abyssal desire ignited in an instant, swallowing Xia Lun whole like a raging inferno.

The Day I Died, the Whole Sect Watched My Senior Sister Go on a Rampage

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
