Chapter 16: Losing Control — Might as Well Eat You
“Ahem, cough cough.” Nan Xun choked on her own saliva.
Damn it! No wonder Little Eight had been completely silent—so the Demon King had been watching her this entire month?!
What the hell, a peeping tom!
Nan Xun’s body trembled. She forced a grin and laughed dryly. “I was just joking. You… you didn’t take it seriously, right?”
“Oh, but this king thinks you were quite serious,” the Demon King replied.
Nan Xun didn’t know if she was imagining things, but she actually heard a hint of teasing in his voice.
“Ah!” Nan Xun suddenly cried out.
In just a moment of distraction, she had been scooped up and carried in the man’s arms!
Startled, Nan Xun instinctively curled inward—only to end up pressed even closer against him.
“W-What are you going to do?” she asked shakily.
The Demon King’s beautifully shaped thin lips curved ever so slightly, his voice still calm and emotionless. “Return to the room and help you carry out your plan of seduction.”
Nan Xun: …
They said you reap what you sow—she really wanted to just die right now.
She had already forgotten how many bold declarations she’d made over the past month. Had this voyeuristic Demon King remembered every single one?
If so… hehe.
On the bed, a man and a woman sat facing each other.
The incomparably handsome yet expressionless man looked at the woman, waiting for her to act.
Nan Xun desperately sought advice from the Void Beast in her mind. “Little Eight, how do you seduce someone?”
The Void Beast finally stopped playing dead. At the risk of being detected by the Demon King, it whispered instructions: “Very simple—kiss, hug, rub, twist, lick, all of that.”
Nan Xun: “…I feel like my reputation is about to be completely ruined.”
Void Beast: “Stop whining and get on with it!”
Nan Xun swallowed and asked the man in front of her in a low voice, “Do you really want me to… seduce you?”
The Demon King gave a soft “Mm.” His crimson eyes were thick with blood-red color, unfathomably deep.
“No matter what I do, you won’t get angry?” Nan Xun asked.
Another “Mm.”
“Then… I’ll start?”
“Mm.”
Nan Xun stared at him for a while, then slowly leaned forward and quickly pecked his thin lips.
The man remained expressionless.
Gathering more courage, Nan Xun leaned in again and kissed both of his eyes, then tapped his nose with another kiss.
Still expressionless.
Her slightly trembling hands moved to the man’s waist, loosening the belt there, then both hands slipped inside.
His chest was firm, his skin smooth—and cool.
Nan Xun happened to be a bit overheated, her face already burning hot. She tugged down the man’s upper robe, leaned in fully, wrapped her arms around him, and pressed her scorching cheek against his chest, rubbing back and forth just as Little Eight had taught her.
Thump. Thump thump thump.
She heard his heartbeat—steady and powerful.
Then, at some point, the sound grew heavier… faster.
Nan Xun was just marveling at it when she suddenly felt a chill at her neck. She glanced sideways.
She nearly fainted on the spot.
A long, slender snake tongue had extended from the man’s mouth and was repeatedly licking her neck. In no time, her neck was damp.
“Holy shit, Little Eight! I’m about to be eaten by the Demon King! He’s licking my neck—do you see that?! Damn it, he’s licking my neck! Is he getting ready to eat me?!” Nan Xun was terrified out of her wits.
Sure enough, the very next moment, she heard the man’s eerie voice above her head.
“Just now, this king nearly lost control. Such a situation is something I absolutely cannot allow. Therefore, this king thinks… it would be better to simply eat you.”
