A man was pinned against the wall by me. The advantage should by all means be in my hands, yet I was currently the one in turmoil.
There wasn't much space between the two of us and that was further shortened as I leaned toward him.
With a slight tilt downward my eyes were staring right into his. His eyes, almost void like pupils, but with a slight gleam of light reflecting off which added that much needed sense of humanity.
He had an awkward smile on his face as he looked at me, in comparison I tried to make a face as indifferent as I could. I didn't want my thoughts to leak out through my expressions.
If anything I wanted to put up the facade of a domineering lover since my previous attempt failed. When I pinned him against the wall earlier it all felt so natural for me to do as well. Meekly asking for love had gotten me nowhere, if I wanted it I had to get ahold of it myself and by my own hands.
'Perhaps if I could get my hands on some blackmail I could get him to do what I want! But that won't be able to work If I want his true love, could it? Maybe I could cause him to eventually love his blackmailer more than others!
No, I won't be doing that. I want him to willingly commit these actions himself. If It's all forced then what I can't really call that love, now can I? I'll make him have a little forbidden love perhaps.'
I wanted to reach out and touch this man right now, I really did. I knew the consequences though, but that doesn't mean I couldn't circumvent them though.
As long as I only touch him through my robes I could later burn said robes to ashes and she would never be able to follow my traces. At least that's my theory, from the way that Li Daji had explained it her sense of smell seemed to only detect direct contact. I won't be able to erase the smell of my own skin, so if she tracks me through there I'm screwed.
If she follows the scent of my clothing then by the time she makes it there it'll be gone. My own remnant smell wouldn't be distinct enough as it fades over time.
Of course it's all only a theory, or simply the fact that my mind is trying to conjure up any possible scenario where it could be possible to physically touch him, set in reality or my fantasy.
'If it isn't necessary then I won't be trying this method out… or maybe just a little test! NO! I can't let my desire get a hold of me! This is the last resort! ...Last..resort.'
After a while of having an internal monologue I realized that all this time there had only been silence. For dozens of breaths now I had simply been silently staring down at this man after he spoke about that girl from beforehand.
It seems he was finally getting tired of the awkward silence and tried to duck under my arm to escape.
I panicked internally as I didn't want it to simply end like this. I had already acted this aggressively, if I simply saw him again next time and was as meek as my last life then I probably won't ever have the chance again! I've already gone this far, I have to see it through to the end!
He tried to duck under my right arm and in turn to that I slammed my elbow against the wall as well.
*Pap!*
He was a little startled at my action, jumping a bit as his back was once again against the wall.
With such uneven weight distribution I propped my other elbow against the wall as well. Now my arms hung over his head in an arch and we barely had any distance left between us. I felt like there was barely a hair's width between our chests.
I started breathing through my mouth to put some pressure on him as well. I was surprised to see a shocked and bewildered look on him even after he had a good few moments to calm himself.
I didn't even realize until I caught his eyes occasionally darting down that something about my robes were a little off..
I peeked down at myself to see what was taking his attention away from my face and saw that the top of my robes had loosened some. A deep cleavage was shown and was glistening a little from a few drops of my sweat. Since I now knew what took his attention away, hints of embarrassment started to surface as a light blush, even as I kept up that indifferent facade.
'W-well at least I know he sees me as a woman.'
When I finally looked back at him he was no longer as astonished. A light blushed seemed to adorn his cheeks as well for a moment before it faded away. For just a moment I saw a cheeky smile appear and just like that blush before it vanished soon after.

*Pap!*
Inner Disciple Yi slammed her elbows against the wall, immediately blocking off the route of the escape I was going to use while she was oddly distracted. Only a moment after her other elbow slammed against the wall as well. I was shocked that she was going this far for someone she had literally met not even a week ago.
Not only that though, I was quite bewildered by her aggressive nature. Most if not all the women I've met so far have all been more reserved in their advances. The most I've seen a woman do was simply cling to my arm, but most of the time they felt too much shame to do any more than that.
The position I was currently in felt like a certain hentai game I had played before, but as some hentai are, I came for the porn and stayed for the plot. The game was simply called "Confession Game" and was probably like that since it was an MTL, but the story was still good. Yi Feng reminded me of the first scene where Aoi(Best Girl), a tomboy, was introduced and pinned the MC to a wall. It's also one of the few Reverse NTR games that exist, such a rare genre to find.
The distance between the two of us felt like I could just barely squeeze a sheet of paper between us, that was how close she was, at least it felt like it.
Soon I felt her hot and steamy breath that she was purposely breathing on me. I was about to look into her eyes to see how they looked when a slight glimmer caught my eye. I looked down just in time to see a bead of her sweat rolling down into her cleavage, leaving behind a glistening trail on those mounds of hers.
Her breathing Had halted for a brief moment and that made me think I was caught looking. When I looked up I saw a faint reddish blush on her cheeks.
'Hmm? That's a reaction, but she's trying to hide it isn't she? Oh, is this all just a little facade? Maybe I can have just a little bit of fun teasing her about it then.'
Our bodies were already close and our faces felt even closer as we looked into each other's eyes. I leaned in toward her just a bit as I tilted my head so our faces were a little more parallel with each other.
Her eyes widened a bit as she trembled just a bit, nonetheless she still stood fast and didn't move an inch. I had to commend her internally for the fact she still stood strong, but a new thought appeared in my mind.
'I thought she was the one who wanted this, if she didn't have the courage to go beyond this then where did she even get the confidence to try it in the first place? Did she only do it to try and get a reaction out of me?'
Since she seemed to freeze I came even closer to the point where I would be just barely out of touch, but I made sure to move at a deliberate and steady speed.
Her pupils trembled and just before I could make contact she pushed herself away. The corner of my lips slightly curved up as she relented.
"What's wrong, Junior Sister Yi? Was that not what you wanted?"
Her blush lingered on her cheeks for a while before she was able to rid herself of a bit of that tinge. There were a few moments of silence as she must have been thinking of the best words to react with.
"...D-do you like children? I'm only asking since you're going to be mine soon."
'Oh? Bold words, yet you're trembling the moment I truly near you.'
I reached up slowly with my left hand deliberately so she would see it's approach. Once I felt she had clearly seen it I tried to grab her hand, but she quickly retracted it.
"Hoh? You're trying to ask about children, but right now you even seem afraid of me touching you. Haha, well since you seem so stunned, I'll be on my way. You opened a clear path for me after all."
Just like that I slipped right out of her hold and entrapment. After a few steps I turned to look at her with a sideways glance and a smirk.
'Hehe, she's stunned! I wonder what's going through her mind? Well I don't really think that teasing helped my case that I had a wife or that I was loyal, but it doesn't matter. If she tries again I'll just reject her again. I hope that she spreads the fact that I have a wife with others though, it would make dealing with random female disciples easier.
Surely, if others know I'm taken then Ying'er won't be as mad either since women won't randomly come to me, at least as often. I feel like there might still occasionally be a few of those women who don't care, in fact maybe that Junior Yi is one of them.'

(Yi Feng POV)
He escaped my pin just as I got ahold of myself. When he actually took the lead for a moment I felt my heart beat race and I had been trying to slow it down ever since then.
Finally as it was getting under control and returning to a steady beat I saw as he turned to look back at me with a cheeky smile. All of which only reversed the progress I had made, my heart beat sped back up as I watched him slowly shrink with each passing step.
'Damn my own powerlessness! He was so vulnerable earlier! I really just wanted to hug him, wrap my arms all around him and feel his warmth right here and now!
But I can't, all because of that stupid ability of that demon! Surely, there has to be something that can counter them right? Maybe the city has something of use! Something, anything, that could be of use would be nice.
I just want to be able to make contact without the fear of losing my life. If I wasn't even a match for her when I was at my best then there is absolutely no way I can fight now, especially not when the only information I have is that it's likely she's a 10th realm cultivator. Those people are basically legends, I never believed before that those people could even exist, but now I guess I'll have to rely on those very legends as the most accurate source of my information.
I should be able to get that info in the city as well.'
With a new found determination I strolled back to Li Daji's and I's home to prepare a bit.
