In this desolate wilderness, his earlier screams startled not even a bird, let alone expect a dog to come in time to save his life.
Left with no other choice, he could only rely on himself.
Luckily, it was an intelligent demoness he was dealing with, not just some wild beast that only knew to hunt for a satisfying meal. As long as she could understand human speech, reasoning with her should be possible...
Lin Suqing clenched his molars, suppressed the disgust in his stomach, and decided to give it a try.
He feigned the appearance of a man entrapped by the demoness's "seduction," winked flirtatiously at her, and said, "How could we let the lady take the initiative? Why don't I take care of you instead? What do you think~"
As soon as he spoke, he was so disgusted with himself that he shuddered, shedding goosebumps all over. But given that shamelessness was invincible, it was the only method he had to perhaps secure a chance to escape.
The demoness, upon hearing this, rolled her blood-red eyeballs around in their dark sockets.
Seeing that she was still hesitant, Lin Suqing quickly plastered on a fawning smile and added, "My lady, with your Divine Skills, I, a mere incapable mortal, surely couldn't escape the palm of your hand."
He steeled his heart, took her withered hand, pouted, and feigned a bit of petulance, "I've made up my mind. What's meant to happen will happen. Since I can't escape, why not indulge and enjoy it once. I've never...never done that thing with a demoness before..." He even put on a shy and curious smile at the end.
The demoness was amused by his act and burst into laughter, revealing a toothless, shriveled old woman's mouth, and coyly said, "Oh my~ Junge, you are indeed a guest of the Crown Prince~ You understand things so well~"
She withdrew her hand from inside Lin Suqing's trousers, and with the tip of her nail gently scraped his cheek, suggesting, "Are you really so fearless because you know no better~ Do you know what I'm about to do to you?"
Lin Suqing, unaware of her insinuations, flirtatiously squinted at her, wearing a lascivious smile, "Isn't it just~ that thing~ hehehe~"
If we were to talk about his acting at that moment, even the Oscars owed him a golden statue.
"Hmmmhmmmmm~" The demoness's laughter was ambiguous. It was as if she acknowledged Lin Suqing's brazen words without really saying, and yet it sounded like she was sneering at his shamelessness and ignorance.
Lin Suqing knew that he had spoken as much as was acceptable and took on a look of curiosity and anticipation, waiting on the demoness's decision.
The grip of the demoness on his wrist loosened slightly, then she seized his chin with strength, beheld him for a long time with a cruel smile, before slowly saying, "Alright, my handsome boy, if you want to come~ then come~"
She cheerfully untied the shackles of her sorcery from his body, and the moment she let go, Lin Suqing took the opportunity to flip her over onto the stone slab, feigning a deeply affectionate demeanor.
The demoness was momentarily startled, then rather joyfully looked at him and playfully rebuked, "You're such a bully~ But I quite fancy it~"
Her drawn-out tone was so disturbing to Lin Suqing that he couldn't help trembling with revulsion.
He anticipated that the demoness's heart must still harbor doubts, perhaps this behavior was just a test of his sincerity.
He steadied the overwhelming feeling of disgust within him and consoled himself, since he was acting, he had to play it to the hilt. He couldn't afford any mistakes at this crucial juncture or get killed in one blow—that would be too undeserved.
Although he had calculated everything clearly in his mind, as soon as he faced the demoness's shiny, ugly, reddish-black face, his heart immediately started to waver...
Not to mention her shriveled old crone's mouth... and the foul stench that came at him even before their lips met...
Lin Suqing felt his stomach churn repeatedly, nearly unable to hold back from vomiting on her face...
But what else could he do? Now he had no other choices. To stay alive, he had to sacrifice his pride... As long as he convinced the demoness, he would have the opportunity to slip away.
After all, it was just a bit of pride—nothing too grave. It was as though he had been gnawed on by a wild pig.
Touching the double-edged dagger hidden behind his back, he closed his eyes, made a firm decision, and clenched his teeth as he leaned in for the kiss.
He had originally planned that merely kissing her wouldn't be enough, and that he would have to deepen the kiss a few times, fully engaging in foreplay to relax her guard completely.
But when he actually kissed her, his lips stuck to her's as if glued, completely out of his control, refusing to move in for a deeper kiss. Despite his meticulous planning, his body was so honest that it absolutely wouldn't cooperate with him.
What am I to do.
As Lin Suqing racked her brain with worry, the female demon's tongue suddenly extended and forcefully pried open her lips.
Lin Suqing was shocked, What the hell is this?!
And to think that she even managed to succeed in her attempt!
Instantly, she tasted her salty and fishy tongue, which powerfully thrust into her mouth, stirring chaos and entangling with her own tongue in battle, then swiftly turned towards her throat.
"!!!" Damn, that's disgusting! Oh dear God, please let me just drop dead! I would be eternally grateful!
Lin Suqing was startled and aghast, her heart crying out, but she couldn't escape; just as she tried to get up and dodge, she was tightly shackled by the hands of the female demon around her neck and back.
The female demon's tongue, like a slender snake, wound its way down her throat and probed inside her body.
Lin Suqing felt something being sucked away by her, and at the same time felt the female demon's tongue searching for something inside her body.
Before long, she felt an abnormal exhaustion, as a heavy drowsiness enveloped her like a collapsing dead tree.
Her eyelids kept fighting against sleep, but she dared not let herself sleep, resolutely mustering the remaining drop of energy, constantly reminding herself in her mind—Don't close your eyes, don't sleep! The consequences are unthinkable!
She desperately tried to struggle free, but the more she struggled, the tighter the female demon hugged her. Shortly, to prevent her from escaping, the female demon simply wrapped her legs together with her own hair.
Lin Suqing continually fought against the female demon, inch by inch reaching for the dagger behind her waist.
The female demon did not continue to do anything else, but kept searching inside her body with her tongue, like a snake hunting for food, never ceasing its search.
She could even clearly feel that she was meticulously searching every corner of her body with her tongue.
First, the demon had swept over her violently throbbing heart, and now she licked her liver and lungs thoroughly. Still, she felt no pain at all. However, wherever the female demon's tongue passed, it left a strong tingling sensation as if ants were nibbling, along with a feeling as if something was being sucked away by her.
He couldn't understand what this female demon was trying to find inside his body.
...
When the golden crow hung high in the clear sky, the morning mist quietly disappeared, and the bright sunlight bathed the earth, it alone failed to reach the slate where they were.
It seemed as if the tree behind the slate blocked out the sky, separating the world from this place.
Even as the sunlight shone everywhere, the heavy fog under the tree lingered unyielding, not even a breeze could find its way in.
The female demon's tongue continued its search within him, then suddenly, it made a beeline for his abdomen. In an instant, Lin Suqing felt a chilling sensation in his abdomen, starkly different from the hot itchiness throughout his body. Immediately following, a sharp pain in his abdomen ensued, as if a sharp ice arrow had plunged fiercely into it.
Simultaneously, the female demon quickly retracted her tongue, shoved him away, and her hair, which had been wrapped around him, withdrew quickly as if startled.
Lin Suqing was pushed forcefully onto the slate, and the abnormal drowsiness was swept away instantly, as a jolt returned him to his senses.
He saw the female demon half rise and prostrate herself on the stone slab, violently vomiting dark purple blood.
Lin Suqing watched in astonishment as a strong urge to vomit surged within him; without time to think, he just turned to the side and vomited a pool of thick purple blood.
What he had vomited out was actually the female demon's blood.
Lin Suqing checked herself from head to toe, finding not a single injury, nor any pain. She pressed her abdomen repeatedly and felt none of the previous sharp, cold pain.
Just then, the female demon, having recovered from her injuries, suddenly attacked and grabbed his throat, her eyes wide with rage as she asked indistinguishably in a male or female voice, "Who the hell are you?" the tone was obviously different from her previous coquettishness.
