Her body stiffened at the words.
At the same time, she felt a lewd hand roaming her beautiful leg, a tingling sensation like an ant crawling that almost made her lose the strength to stand.
The whole person slumped into Ye Ming's embrace.
"You... stop it!"
Nainier reached out, clutching his arm tightly, preventing him from further exploring the inner thigh.
Fortunately, they were in a corner outside the main hall, unnoticed by anyone.
Otherwise, this passionate scene would have likely caused Nainier immense shame.
"What! Didn't you ask me to serve you?"
Ye Ming pressed her against the wall, his body leaning in, giving Nainier no space to escape.
"You... you're crazy! What if someone sees?"
Seeing Ye Ming's assertiveness, Nainier grew flustered.
Especially since her hands were barely stopping his next move; one more step and it would be a forbidden zone.
Though she appeared outwardly open, when it came to the real act, she couldn't hide the fact that she was an unopened bud.
She was incredibly nervous.
"Don't worry, no one will see."
*Snap!*
Ye Ming smiled again, snapping his fingers. The surrounding space instantly became isolated from the outside world.
Without a Heaven-Human realm cultivation, it would be impossible to discern anything unusual.
"You... you're serious?"
With the space sealed off, Nainier was truly terrified.
"Ah!"
She let out a scream as her two long legs were lifted high off the ground. Instinctively, she wrapped them around Ye Ming's waist.
This forceful movement caused her body to go limp, hanging entirely on Ye Ming.
She felt no strength.
Ye Ming's pupils also gradually turned red.
Looking at the alluring red lips so close, he couldn't resist and kissed her.
"Mmm!"
Nainier's eyes widened. While she was stunned, her teeth were already breached, and a fierce onslaught began between their mouths.
Initially, she patted his back with all her might, but as the battle intensified, her strength waned. She draped her arms around his neck, sinking towards the edge of desire.
"Mmm!"
Just as Ye Ming's hand was about to breach the absolute domain, a sliver of clarity returned to his desire-reddened pupils.
His hands and tongue stopped their actions.
However, the gradually sinking Nainier inexplicably felt a void, her body craving the continuation of their unfinished business.
"Wh... what's wrong?"
Nainier's eyes were hazy, her forehead pressed tightly against his, her breathing rapid and hot.
"Someone noticed us!"
Ye Ming said coldly.
"What!"
The words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Nainier's burning desire.
Frightened, she quickly slid off Ye Ming.
However, due to her previous arousal, her legs felt weak the moment they touched the ground, and she stumbled.
Fortunately, Ye Ming caught her, preventing a fall.
"Looks like I'll have to find another time to serve you!"
The good times interrupted, Ye Ming felt helpless.
"I don't want your service!"
Nainier bit her red lip and said coyly.
"Really?"
Ye Ming's right hand rested on her inner thigh and squeezed gently.
"Ah! You want to die!"
Nainier pressed her legs together and glared at him shyly.
"Don't worry, next time, I will definitely satisfy you completely, body and soul."
Ye Ming didn't tease her further, merely pressing a kiss to her red lips before saying, "I'll go handle something!"
"Mm!"
Nainier nodded obediently, her beautiful eyes clearly showing lingering desire.
She definitely didn't want to experience such a feeling again.
It was too unbearable!
After Ye Ming left, Nainier walked towards the restroom in an awkward posture, still muttering curses:
"Scoundrel, scoundrel, scoundrel!"
...
The imperial palace's backyard.
"Come out!"
Ye Ming found a secluded spot and spoke coldly to the air.
The next second, two figures materialized.
An old man and a woman.
It was Ye Qingzhu and the gray-robed elder from the heritage guardians.
"Don't think just because you're in the Heaven-Human realm, I can't kill you."
Ye Ming's gaze was icy as he looked at the gray-robed elder, a killing intent arising.
The spatial isolation he had set up earlier, though not a grand display, was not something ordinary cultivators could easily see through.
"I had no intention of disturbing your intimacy; it was an accident!"
The gray-robed elder, though not showing fear, offered an explanation.
As he said, he had merely wanted to locate Ye Ming as he had matters to discuss in person.
Who would have thought he would witness such a stimulating scene.
Of course!
Ye Qingzhu beside him had not seen it.
She lacked the power.
"I'll take your word for it for now!"
Hearing the elder's words, the coldness in Ye Ming's eyes receded slightly, but he still gave him no pleasantries, saying indifferently, "If what you have to say next is uninteresting, I think I'll be very angry."
As he spoke, he opened his palm, and a wisp of divine soul appeared in his hand.
It was restrained.
This was precisely the gray-robed elder's.
"What... what is this power?"
He looked at his divine soul. If it weren't visible, he wouldn't even sense its connection.
It was too strange.
On several occasions, he had tried to sever that wisp of divine soul, even at the cost of severe injury, to avoid being controlled.
But each time, he failed.
He had even enlisted the help of his faction's Heaven-Human realm experts within the guardian order to sever the soul.
But that too had failed.
Ultimately, he had no choice but to come himself to understand what was going on.
Yet, the scene before him still surpassed his comprehension.
He had no idea what method the other party had used.
"You don't need to hold out hope."
Ye Ming sneered, "Let alone someone in the Heaven-Human realm, even if an old monster in the Human Immortal realm helped you, they wouldn't be able to sever this strand of soul."
"You..."
The gray-robed elder's face was filled with disbelief.
Even a Human Immortal couldn't do it? How was this possible?
But looking at Ye Ming's confident expression, he didn't seem to be lying.
After much struggle, he could only compromise.
Beside him, Ye Qingzhu watched the gray-robed elder's despairing expression, and her body trembled.
This was the first time she had witnessed the powerlessness of a Heaven-Human realm expert.
At the same time, her gaze towards the young man before her was filled with complex emotions.
She wanted to ask:
"Just how strong are you!"
