As Ying Yue gently lifted her head, her eyes stared me down. She had a smirk on her face, as if she were enjoying the situation.
The restraints tying my hands and feet to the corners of the bed seemed tough. However, it’s not so strong that it’s impossible to break. Probably some sort of special rope or something.
Ying Yue scratched my chest, leaving five bloody lines as my clothes got shredded. My eyes went wide as I started feeling the stinging pain from the scratch.
It should be impossible for her to harm me… Why? How?
Looking closely, the yellow light was continuously flickering all over her body. It should be the weakening curse of the system doing its job after she harmed me. However, it seemingly didn’t have any effect.
“Hehe, Ahh, weakening doesn’t work on me! I have serpent bloodline; I’m immune to debuffs!”
With her words, my worry just increased. The glint in her eyes became stronger. It seems like the more troubled I feel, the more excited she gets. Is she a sadist deep inside?
Of course, I wouldn’t just let her do as she pleases. I’ve already called for backup, and they should be rushing here right about now. While waiting for their arrival, I activated the Unicorn Horn Earrings that hadn’t had much use lately. Its healing powers are too weak for us now, so I’m planning on replacing it soon.
As soon as its effect started kicking in, Ying Yue’s tail flicked in the air. She quickly leaned forward, both hands reaching for my earlobes, and pulled roughly. I could feel the cartilage in my ears get torn; however, the pain didn’t register as my chest was hurting a lot more.
“That’s a no-no; you can’t heal yourself.”
Ying Yue said as she showed me the two circular pieces of Unicorn Horn Earrings, which had traces of my blood on them. She then threw them away, as they had lost their purpose.
“…”
I could forcefully break through my restraints; however, that raises the question, “Is Goddess Vermeil around to stop me?” With that worry, I decided to just play along with her for now, waiting for my backup to arrive.
Ying Yue, as if finding that I wasn’t reacting or despairing at the situation, frowned hard. She scratched both arms, tearing the white robe that I wore into literal shreds.
As I grimaced at the newly added wounds, Ying Yue’s smile became wider.
“Yes! That’s it! Feel more pain! Show me your expressions warped in pain!”
She laughed maniacally right after for a good few seconds. After her laugh, she shifted down a bit and went prone over my body. Her dainty arms, covered in her sharp claws, went over my back as she clung to my body. 𝒷𝒹𝓸𝓿𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶
A warm and wet sensation was passed to me, but I couldn’t see it to confirm it. It started in my abdomen and led up to my chest. After that, Ying Yue lifted her head, and her long and forked tongue extending outward was painted red with my blood.
Her eyes flickered, as if intoxicated. Her glowing gold, vertical pupils dilated as she stared at my probably scrunched-up expression.
At this moment, the door to my room got blasted to bits as two fluffy figures rushed in my direction.
Surprised by the loud sound, Ying Yue turned around and was about to intercept the intruders, but both her hands got pulled behind her back as she was tackled down the bed and onto the cold, hard floor.
As the two figures appeared, I realized that goddess Vermeil should be out of range. Otherwise, the two would’ve been stopped before they even reached my room.
With the threat of a god tamer out of the picture, I quickly used a little bit of dark energy to form a sharp knife and cut off my restraints. As I was finally free, I quickly pulled a potion from my storage ring and downed all of its contents. If Ember masters the [Subspace Inventory] skill, it’ll be more convenient, though.
“Kuh! Get off me, Wan Li, Wan Er!”
Ying Yue, who was being held down, shouted in anger. However, unfortunately, the two of them couldn’t hear her words. They still had their eyes closed, even now. They were asleep.
“This command thing really is convenient. To think it can make them move forcefully while unconscious.”
I muttered as I shifted to the edge of the bed, sitting down with my legs dangling by the side while I looked at Ying Yue, who was flattened on the ground.
Wan Li was to her right, pulling her left arm across her back, pushing the back of her head to the ground, and holding her down in place. Wan Er was to her left, pulling her right arm and restricting the wildly rampaging tail. The two, who should be just as powerful as her, were completely able to restrict her movements.
After watching her struggle futilely for a while, the wounds on my body finally disappeared. I touched my ears and confirmed that the torn part was back to normal.
I stood up, walked to Ying Yue’s location, and crouched down. The robe around my body fell off along the way, unable to hold on anymore after getting shredded, revealing my body to everyone.
“…”
Looking at her struggling on the ground, I felt a spike of emotions rush through me. Is this euphoria? Did I have sadistic qualities too?
Seeing her glare angrily at me sent tingles down my spine.
“You did me quite a lot just now… Any excuses?”
I tilted my head as I asked. I should be smiling right now, but seeing that her glare was tinted with fear for an instant, I knew that it was not a friendly smile.
I moved my gaze to the two sisters, holding her down, and ordered.
“Wan Li, Wan Er, wake up.”
As soon as my words were heard, the sister’s eyes shifted and opened. Their gazes were unfocused for a moment as they scanned the surroundings.
“… Lord Will…? Ying Yue?”
Wan Li was the first to regain complete consciousness and was tilting her head in confusion at the situation. Wan Er woke up shortly after and similarly frowned in confusion.
Seeing that my orders were followed by the two of them, no problem, I then turned to Ying Yue and ordered her.
“Ying Yue, kill yourself.”
