"Li Yi! You jerk... you... let go of me! Otherwise..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a crisp "slap" sound echoed as a bright red handprint appeared on Li Yi's face.
"Go ahead, scream! Nobody will come to save you!" Li Yi sneered in response, but even he was confused by his own words.
What in the world is going on?
Li Yi's mind was a jumbled mess, urging himself to stay calm while something inside him resisted, fueling his agitation. The situation before him only added to his confusion.
If Li Yi wasn't mistaken, he was a well-known assassin from the dark world. Just a second ago, he was on a plane, feeling satisfied from a completed mission, practicing a unique and pure skill from a guidebook titled "Touching the Air Hostess Secretly". He thought he was about to succeed in his innocent quest, reaching under the lead hostess's skirt to spread 'justice', when suddenly everything blurred before him, leading to this current situation.
He found himself in an ordinary-looking valley, with a stream flowing at the end, surrounded by lush trees and the fragrance of flowers. And him... he was lying naked on a smooth stone.
Well, that's not entirely accurate...
If Li Yi's vision, smell, touch, and hearing weren't deceiving him, then he wasn't lying on a stone but on a young girl...
This realization only added to Li Yi's confusion, and in this state, he could distinctly feel a certain part of his body, that part... seemed even harder than iron...
If he still had some sense left, this situation could only mean one thing - an act of indecency!?
Li Yi couldn't help but laugh and cry at the thought. He wasn't a saint, but even in his previous missions, he never forced himself on anyone. Forcing things never brings happiness. But why was he acting like this now? Was he dreaming?
To confirm something, Li Yi slowly reached out to the girl's chest. Although it was a gentle grip, he was certain... This full and soft sensation... How could this be a dream?
The girl in front of him had a delicate face, pale from either shame or despair. Her eyes, wide open, seemed to swallow Li Yi whole.
But despite this, she seemed to have lost all her strength. Her earlier slap seemed to have drained her last bit of energy.
She tried to move, but her efforts didn't push Li Yi away; instead, they seemed to ignite a fire in him.
Li Yi let out a beast-like growl, realizing something was very wrong. He could only see the naked girl before him, and no matter how much he tried to suppress it with reason, the flame from his abdomen wouldn't die down.
After all, faced with such a bewildering and sensual situation, how many men could completely suppress that flame?
Finally, Li Yi roared. The last piece of covering on the girl was torn away by him. But at that moment, a strange thought struck him - could he have been drugged?
This thought made him laugh and cry even in his frenzy.
The girl let out a low moan, whether from fear or despair. "Li Yi... how dare you... how dare..."
But her words only fueled Li Yi's desire further. The last bit of his sanity was extinguished, and he pounced down fiercely...
Everything then seemed unstoppable...
In the quiet valley, occasional low growls and soft moans could be heard, and after a while, everything returned to silence.
Li Yi didn't know when he stood up. The delicate girl on the rock had passed out, but even in her unconsciousness, she seemed to be having a nightmare, occasionally murmuring "No... please... spare me..."
This made Li Yi's head throb in pain.
Only now did Li Yi realize what he had done.
But what puzzled him most was that he was always a rational person, capable of controlling his emotions in any situation, not letting his feelings take over. Even if drugged, he shouldn't have acted like this, given his body's resistance developed through countless life-and-death situations. This was something Li Yi always took pride in... So what made him do this? Was it the bizarre situation before him?
After pondering for a moment and combining the somewhat chaotic memories in his mind, Li Yi had some clarity about the miraculous thing that happened to him.
If he wasn't wrong, the "whoosh" he saw on the plane was probably a plane crash, but he didn't realize he had died.
And now, the body he found himself in was no longer his own, but belonged to another "Li Yi," whose soul he seemed to have 'forcefully occupied' due to some twist of fate.
He was no longer on Earth but in a place called the Tianfeng Empire, located on a land known as the Martial Deity Continent. The specifics of this location were unclear to the original "Li Yi," but he knew that he was in a city called Wanchao City in the western part of the empire.
However, Li Yi's mind was still a chaotic mess, making it painful for him to think. This could be due to the forcible merging of souls, his 'occupation' of this body, or perhaps the earlier reckless behavior...
Whatever the reason, Li Yi could faintly sense, using his medical knowledge from his previous life — which now seemed like a distant memory — that his current condition was far from good. Ignoring the throbbing in his head, the stabbing pain throughout his body made it difficult for him to stand.
Perhaps the earlier unexplained desire had masked these sensations. But regardless, being discovered in this state would be greatly disadvantageous for him.
Li Yi didn't know the customs of this Martial Deity Continent, but he could imagine that forcibly doing such a thing to a girl would never be considered appropriate anywhere.
In that moment, Li Yi even considered the thought of killing to silence her. Murder was not new to him, but he eventually shook his head, hastily dressing himself with the strange clothes scattered on the ground and clumsily covering the girl with her own.
At that moment, Li Yi realized his luck. Although the girl was unconscious, her inherent grace and beauty could not be concealed.
This realization nearly led him to another thought, but this time, his rationality prevailed. He knew that any further disorder on his part could lead to utter ruin.
After dressing the girl, Li Yi was at a loss for what to do next. Not because he was overwhelmed by the situation, but because he had no understanding of his current circumstances and didn't know the best course of action.
The key question was: Who was the original "Li Yi," and how did he bring the girl to this place? If Li Yi's guess was right, such an act was usually done either by a rich, reckless scion or a desperate criminal.
But from the current situation, it seemed more likely that "he" was from a wealthy family, as the clothes, though odd, were of excellent quality. This attire, similar to ancient Earth's clothing, allowed him to infer something about this so-called Martial Deity Continent...
Just as Li Yi was about to deduce more from this clue, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from afar: "Lustful thief! Face my sword!!!"
