Gu Chengyin froze.
The meaning behind Lin Qingyan's words couldn't be more obvious.
She was going to release her inner demon and let him satisfy it.
And it couldn't just be a superficial satisfaction; it had to be a deep satisfaction that outpaced the inner demon's growth rate.
But the problem was...
What exactly did deep satisfaction mean?
Before Gu Chengyin could figure it out, Lin Qingyan spoke again.
"I will release my suppression in a moment and let her out."
"Don't worry. I cultivate the Nine Heavens Lightning Attraction Art. If I feel that something is inappropriate, I will use a lightning strike to warn you."
Lin Qingyan raised her hand and gently tapped her glabella with her fingertip, where a faint golden lightning pattern could be seen.
"So you can let go and satisfy her."
Gu Chengyin was speechless.
Wait a minute.
What did she mean by if I feel something is inappropriate, I will use a lightning strike to warn you?
If you are electrocuting me, how am I supposed to let go and satisfy her?
Wasn't there a flaw in this logic?
Moreover, the Nine Heavens Lightning Attraction Art?
A vivid image instantly popped into Gu Chengyin's mind.
Just as he was about to do something to Lin Qingyan, a bolt of heavenly lightning would crash down, zapping him until he was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
Was she a Golden Core cultivator or the Lord of Lightning?!
Gu Chengyin's mouth twitched, and he was just about to protest.
But before he could get the words out, Lin Qingyan had already closed her eyes.
When she opened them again... they had turned a blood-red color.
These red pupils were not only astonishingly bright, but they also swirled with pleasant surprise and deep infatuation.
Then, Lin Qingyan threw herself at him.
A warm and soft body crashed into his arms. Her arms wrapped around his neck, and she buried her cheek into the crook of his shoulder, rubbing against him affectionately.
"Master!"
Gu Chengyin was speechless once more.
With a soft and fragrant beauty in his arms, tantalizing scents filling his nose, and a sweet, sticky call echoing in his ears...
This should have been a romantic and ambiguous scene.
But at this moment, Gu Chengyin only had one thought in his mind.
Run.
Run immediately, right now, without delay.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at the tightly shut tower doors.
But if he really wanted to run, he would need a unique technique to open them.
And with Lin Qingyan currently hanging off his body, pushing her away to go open the doors...
Seemed a bit difficult.
Furthermore, Lin Qingyan had just said that if she felt something was inappropriate, she would warn him with lightning.
So if he just ran away directly...
Would that count as inappropriate?
Would he get zapped?
Countless possibilities flashed through Gu Chengyin's mind, and the conclusion he ultimately reached was...
He would most likely get zapped.
After all, Lin Qingyan's goal was for him to satisfy the inner demon. Running away obviously didn't align with that goal.
So he couldn't run.
At least, not right now.
Gu Chengyin sighed inwardly and accepted his fate.
At this moment, after nuzzling in his arms, Lin Qingyan lifted her head suspiciously.
Those blood-red eyes followed Gu Chengyin's line of sight and looked toward the tower doors.
Then she asked in confusion, "Master, what are you looking at?"
Her voice was still sweet and sticky, but it carried a trace of imperceptible vigilance.
Gu Chengyin withdrew his gaze, his eyes landing on the face before him, which now bore a completely different temperament.
He said helplessly, "Nothing."
Then, thinking of something, Gu Chengyin suddenly said:
"Stay still for a moment. I need to run an experiment."
Lin Qingyan tilted her head, a hint of puzzlement flashing through her blood-red eyes.
"An experiment?"
"Yes."
Gu Chengyin replied, then raised his hand.
He slowly reached toward Lin Qingyan's chest.
That's right.
He wanted to test what this so-called lightning warning actually was.
If it was really as Lin Qingyan said, that as long as she felt something was inappropriate, she would warn him with lightning...
Then wouldn't doing something inappropriate let him know the intensity of this so-called lightning?
And right now, the most direct, obvious, and likely action to be judged as inappropriate...
Was, of course, touching places that shouldn't be touched.
Gu Chengyin's hand approached very slowly.
At the same time, he stared intently at Lin Qingyan's face, observing her reaction.
Lin Qingyan didn't seem to realize what he was trying to do; she just looked at his hand curiously.
The distance shortened.
Three inches.
Two inches.
Gu Chengyin could even feel that he was less than an inch away from those soft curves.
His breathing grew slightly ragged, and his heartbeat began to speed up.
Not out of excitement.
But out of nervousness.
He was waiting.
Waiting for that lightning strike.
And then...
In the split second just before his fingertips made contact.
A golden bolt of lightning appeared without any warning.
It didn't strike down from the sky, nor did it shoot out from the walls. It materialized out of thin air from the void.
It was only as thick as a strand of hair, but it was astonishingly fast and accurately struck Gu Chengyin's hand.
"Zzzt!!"
The piercing sound of electrical current exploded within the tower.
Gu Chengyin's pupils shrank drastically.
He felt a surge of violent energy frantically rushing up his arm.
He could confirm that it wasn't fatal.
But if he didn't neutralize it, it was going to hurt like hell.
Because this wasn't ordinary true qi or spiritual energy.
It was the thunder power of a Golden Core cultivator!
Gu Chengyin frantically circulated his Azure Cloud Incantation.
After consuming nearly thirty percent of his true qi and spiritual energy, he finally managed to neutralize this sliver of thunder power.
But that bone-deep, agonizing electrical sensation remained.
Gu Chengyin staggered back two steps, then with a thud, he fell flat on his back onto the ground.
His eyes were wide open, staring hopelessly at the skylight at the top of the tower, feeling as though he had nothing left to live for.
Only one thought remained in his mind.
Lin Qingyan, you Lord of Lightning!
What happened to just a warning strike?!
Is this what you call a fucking warning?!
If his reflexes hadn't been fast, he definitely would have been zapped until he was charred on the outside and tender on the inside!
How was he supposed to let go and satisfy her now?
This was clearly asking him to let go and die!
Gu Chengyin lay on the ground, motionless for a long time.
A hint of a smile flashed through Lin Qingyan's blood-red eyes.
She squatted down, leaned in close to Gu Chengyin, extended a slender finger, and gently poked his cheek.
"Master... are you alright?"
Gu Chengyin sighed deeply, sat up, and rubbed his still-numb arm.
Then he looked at Lin Qingyan, who was squatting beside him.
Her face still wore that seductive, sweet smile, and her blood-red eyes were full of attachment.
Looking at this face right now, Gu Chengyin's heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness.
How was he supposed to satisfy this?
How could they even play this game?
For a moment, Gu Chengyin had no idea where to even begin.
He frowned in deep thought when suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit him.
Whoever tied the bell must untie it.
Since Lin Qingyan wanted him to satisfy the inner demon, and the inner demon had its own needs and desires...
Then wouldn't it be best to just let the inner demon say what she wanted to do first?
That way, when he went to satisfy her, she wouldn't be able to zap him. After all, it would be what the inner demon wanted herself.
Thinking of this, Gu Chengyin looked at Lin Qingyan and asked seriously:
"Is there anything you want to do? Preferably something quite important."
Lin Qingyan blinked her blood-red eyes. She tilted her head in thought and then asked:
"Can it be anything?"
Gu Chengyin nodded, his tone sincere:
"As long as you don't zap me with lightning, it should be fine."
The next second.
Lin Qingyan suddenly opened her arms like a cheerful little bird and cheered:
"I want kisses!"
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it!

At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules.

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.
