"Can you just... turn it off?"
Xiao Lu glanced up with innocent eyes. "Turn what off, Master?"
"This… charm technique of yours! Quit using it on me."
She blinked, surprised. "Master… I'm not using any technique on you. I wouldn't dare."
Su Xiaobai squinted, doubtful. "No charm, hmm?" His gaze roamed over her flushed cheeks, parted lips, and the fierce spark in her eyes—a heat that made him feel like he was standing far too close to a scorching yet frganant flame.
"Well then… show me how you would use it," he challenged.
Xiao Lu's eyes sparkled with a conflicted glint. "Are you sure, Master?"
"Yes!" Su Xiaobai snapped, jaw tight, all while cursing to himself, 'This woman… does she ever turn off that damned Burning Lotus Charm?' For the past month, it felt like she'd kept it in full bloom, turning every glance and gesture into something seductive.
He'd kept his distance to stay focused on cultivation—and to avoid the raging wildfire she stirred up inside him.
But now, here she was again, daring him with those wide, inviting eyes… and those two soft mounds barely held by her robes, calling out to him with silent, treacherous whispers.
Suddenly, Xiao Lu's gaze turned smoldering, a fierce glow flaring in her eyes.
Swoosh!
His blood ran like molten fire through his veins, burning hotter with every breath, an uncontainable surge just beneath his skin.
"Ah—!" Xiao Lu gasped as Su Xiaobai seized her by the waist, pulling her flush against him, his grip filled with both warning and need.
Hiss!
"Enough," he hissed through gritted teeth, his own gaze clouded with want and confusion.
The glow in her eyes flickered out, but he held her tight, unable to understand why her charm was overpowering him.
He was leagues above her in cultivation; her technique should barely register—and yet here he was, trapped by the fire she'd unknowingly kindled.
Held close, her face inches from his, Xiao Lu's gaze mirrored his own rising heat.
"That's it…" His eyes widened with realization.
The problem was his own constitution!
"??" Xiao Lu blinked, clearly bewildered by his sudden intensity. She hadn't expected him to react like this. 'What's happening to him?'
But before she could question further—
"!!"
"… not again…!" Abruptly, Su Xiaobai gasped, clutching his head as a new wave of agony lanced through him.
"ARGH!"
His three bloodlines—each one a monstrous power in itself—surged and clashed within his consciousness like raging storms.
Xiao Lu's face tightened with surprise before melting into concern. "This is the fourth time…" she whispered.
Ever since they'd begun traveling together, he'd been seized by these violent outbursts, each one more intense than the last.
It was his bloodlines—something he rarely spoke of, a power that seemed to be tearing him apart from the inside.
Right now, his eyes burned a vivid, dangerous red, like molten iron.
Su Xiaobai's grip tightened around his head, knuckles whitening as his bloodlines surged like rivers in a storm, each nerve, every inch of his body ablaze with seething energy.
He dropped to his knees, teeth clenched, fighting to contain the furious power within him.
"Damn it…" he rasped, barely a whisper. His skin glowed faintly, red veins pulsing visibly beneath as though his body itself was on the edge of eruption.
Xiao Lu knelt beside him, eyes wide with panic and helplessness. "Master… this is getting worse. Tell me what you need… anything that could help?"
But he didn't respond, his face twisted in agony, barely holding on through the pain. She felt a flash of fear—whatever he was going through was beyond her ability to heal.
In desperation, she leaned closer, her own eyes turning golden like a blazing sun as she whispered, "Master, can you hear me~?"
She drew near, voice soft with worry, but unconsciously laced with a tone that carried her charm technique, hoping somehow it would reach him through the storm.
The fragnant spell around her intensified, combined with her voice entering directly inside defenseless Su Xiaobai's conciousness.
"Mmmghhh—!"
Xiao Lu's eyes flew wide open as Su Xiaobai's hands, searing with an intense heat, pulled her close. His lips claimed hers in a deep kiss.
This… this is different.
Unlike their encounters back at the inn, his grip was unrestrained, his touch igniting her like a sun. Their tongues intertwined, sending waves of heat through her entire being as if her very essence was being drawn out.
Slurp ... Slurp...
She was stunned to realize that Su Xiaobai wasn't drawn to her charm technique—but to the energy within her.
Her burning lotus charm used sun energy that resonated with his Stellar Essence, harmonizing in perfect rhythm, a cosmic balance of yin and yang.
The energy tasted sweet, soothing, and potent, feeding his own cultivation even as he claimed it.
As he drew in the warmth of her essence, his hands moved instinctively, sliding down to grip and knead her firm, shapely buttocks.
"Master…~!" Xiao Lu's soft moan escaped as a shiver of pleasure ran through her, their bodies resonating like two stars caught in each other's orbit, burning hotter with every moment.
RIIIIIP!
Without thinking, Su Xiaobai's hands tore her robe away, revealing the soft, inviting mounds of her chest. Her breath froze for a second as her bared skin met the cool night air, her flushed face betraying both excitement and shock.
Boing! Boing!
With a hungry gaze, Su Xiaobai's hands moved to cup her generous curves.
His fingers sank into her softness, squeezing and kneading while his tongue trailed over the delicate, rose-tinted peaks. He coiled his tongue around her sensitive skin, sending electric shocks rippling through her.
"Ah…Master~! That's—!" Xiao Lu gasped, her voice trembling as he pinched and nibbled over the tender flesh, his lips capturing each peak as his hands explored her body.
"Mmmmgh ~~!"
Xiao Lu's back arched as Su Xiaobai's powerful length, veined and pulsing with a fierce, celestial light, broke free from his robes, radiating an almost blinding stellar energy.
Plop!
His manhood, enveloped in the intense glow of his qi, tore through the last of her garments, aiming directly at her core.
His stellar energy shimmered with each movement, casting faint glimmers of starlight along her flushed skin, as if marking her as his own.
"Ahhhh…! Master… it's so… hot…!" Xiao Lu gasped, her voice quivering as his powerful stellar energy surged through her, flooding her senses and igniting her very core.
The overwhelming heat made her mind spin, as if every cell in her body was being set aflame, caught in the radiant blaze of his essence.
Her own sun energy flared in response, turning her skin a fiery red, as if her very blood had turned to molten fire beneath the surface.
Thrust!
Pakh!
Thrust!
Pakh!
With each powerful movement, his stellar energy merged with her Sunfire Qi, sparking a chain reaction of heat and light that radiated from their bodies.
Inside her, she felt the heat intensified—every inch of her felt like it was burning, each wave of heat filling her core and radiating outward.
Her body responded instinctively, amplifying her sunfire until she felt like she was burning from the inside out.
"Ahhh… Ahhhh… M-Master… slow down…!" she moaned, her voice breaking into a breathless cry as her body glowed with the combined energies, their auras rising together and blending in a raging storm.
Pak! Pak! Pak!
His rhythm grew, and with every thrust, his stellar energy pulsed deeper, igniting her fiery essence further.
Their energies, like twin stars colliding, burst in waves beneath the endless sky.
Thrust!
Pakh!
In one swift move, he lifted her, her legs wrapped around his waist, hands clinging to his shoulders as their energies surged.
Every movement felt electric, like bolts of fire and starlight meeting within her core.
"Mmmph… Master…!" she moaned, their rhythm fierce as her breaths came quicker, her back pressed against the rough bark of a nearby tree.
"Nn-nghhhh~~!"
Suddenly, a wave of heat pulsed from her core, overwhelming her. Her body shivered, and she felt her entire being respond, her energy vibrating in harmony with his.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhnnn ~!" Xiao Lu's cry filled the night as her legs trembled uncontrollably. Her body was limp, her strength drained as he pulled out, his own energy radiating off of him, his manhood throbbing fiercely, veins popping out.
Plop!
A warm stream of their mingled essence traced down her thighs, shimmering faintly with the energy they had unleashed together.
Her forbidden region pulsed, the delicate petals of her flower throbbing with each heartbeat, as if releasing a precious essence, a radiant bloom in fiery sun.
Her skin, still flushed and glowing, radiated the fiery hue of her Sunfire Qi, while his own stellar light illuminated them both.
Yet, even as she caught her breath, a fierce gleam lingered in his eyes.
The night was far from over.
___
Swish!
He turned, lowering her to the ground, her body aglow beneath him as his stellar energy mingled with her remaining heat, casting shimmering patterns across her flushed skin.
His hands traced her waist, guiding her, the pounding making her body quiver.
Pakh! Pakh! Pakh!
"A-ah… it's… so deep…!" Xiao Lu's voice spilled out in gasps, her head tilting back as he claimed her, the air filled with the frganant scent of their bodies and sweat.
____
RIIIIIP!
With a final shift, Su Xiaobai pulled her close, her legs entwined around him as he pressed her against a nearby boulder, both of them aglow, bodies alight with merging energies.
His stellar essence flared brighter, feeding the fiery Sun Qi that burned through her.
Their saliva mingled, fiery and intense, as they reached the peak together for the third time, their bodies entwined beneath the endless sky.
