Free Web NovelChapter 229: Chapter 229: Passively Entering a Heat Period
After drinking the fever suppression medicine, Lan Xin fell into a deep slumber. In his sleep, he had some unknown, amorous dream, and a dewy flush of passion suffused his face.
Ning Xuan had forcefully linked with Lan Xin, and her spirit body had been entangled by the great blue snake for a long time. Though she hadn’t been harmed, the ordeal had stimulated and awakened the desire within her.
In the process of linking with Lan Xin, Ning Xuan had been tainted by his violent Spiritual Sea. After returning to her own body, she felt her blood roil. Something in her veins struggled to break free but couldn’t. The sensation was like ten thousand ants gnawing at her body—a fine, fragmented feeling that could neither be suppressed nor shaken. The discomfort was indescribable.
"Contractor, Contractor, what’s wrong with you?" Yun Han was the first to notice that something was wrong with Ning Xuan. Seeing her brow furrow and a red light flash intermittently in her dark eyes, he asked anxiously.
"From the looks of her current state, she must have been influenced by Lan Xin and forced into her fever period. I’ve seen the Contractor during her fever before. I was the one who stayed by her side and served her then." Chen Nan stepped forward, moving to Ning Xuan’s side.
Yun Han pulled Ning Xuan into his arms, glaring warily at Chen Nan.
"Young Master Yun, I’m the only one who has ever served the Contractor during her fever period. I have more experience than you," Chen Nan said, his gaze on Ning Xuan burning with an undisguised desire to win her favor.
Ever since Ning Xuan had summoned him to her bed a few days ago, Chen Nan’s tendency to shrink back and avoid Yun Han had changed dramatically.
’Before, he’d felt that he had no advantage over Yun Han, who came from a good family, was handsome, and incredibly powerful. If he were Ning Xuan, he’d have chosen Yun Han, not himself.’
But after he had boldly sought her favor a few days ago and succeeded in having Ning Xuan spend the night with him, Chen Nan’s mindset had shifted. He found himself recalling his past moments with Ning Xuan more and more frequently.
’He was the first one to come to her side, after all, and she had treated him very well back then.’
"Are you so certain this is just her fever period? Lan Xin’s condition was complicated, and our Contractor got dragged into it. What if it’s something else? If something goes wrong, can you take responsibility for that?" Yun Han said coldly.
"Well, um... she just linked with Lan Xin, after all, and he’s the one who caused this. Why not let him..." Qinghe suggested tentatively.
"The Contractor just had him fed an Inhibitor," Chen Nan cut in bluntly.
’In the past, the oppressive auras of men like Qinghe and Yun Han were enough to make him back down. But now, after spending every day with them, Chen Nan was gradually losing his fear of them.’
Just as the men were arguing, a red glow suddenly erupted around Ning Xuan. A pained moan escaped her throat as a faint, hazy pink mist began to seep from her body.
Yun Han was the first to breathe in the pink mist. He inhaled only a tiny amount, but his entire body immediately flushed with heat, and his blood began to boil.
Yun Han realized at once. ’This pink mist is an incredibly potent pheromone released from Ning Xuan’s body. For Contractors like them, it’s an aphrodisiac that can force them into a fever period.’
Yun Han swept Ning Xuan into his arms and started toward the cave chamber, but Chen Nan blocked his path. Grabbing Ning Xuan’s hand, he asked, "Contractor, are you all right?"
Overwhelmed by lust, Ning Xuan felt like her veins were about to explode. She twisted her arm back and seized Chen Nan’s wrist, her strength astonishing. Chen Nan felt as if his wrist was about to be shattered and groaned in pain.
Ning Xuan shoved Yun Han away, grabbed Chen Nan, and staggered as she dragged him into her personal cave chamber. The instant the heavy door boomed shut, three protective Arrays lit up simultaneously.
The runes flowed with a dazzling golden light, twisting and coiling across the door.
"Contractor," Chen Nan cried out as Ning Xuan threw him into the bedroom. His back slammed against the foot of the large bed in the center of the room. Her strength had been so great that the impact sent a sharp, raw pain through his back.
However, Chen Nan had inhaled a considerable amount of her pheromones while she dragged him inside, forcing him into a fever state as well. A tingling numbness was seeping from the depths of his marrow, spreading rapidly through his entire body.
Under the influence of this tingling numbness, even the sharp pain in his back was consumed by the sensation. Chen Nan eagerly began to undress, his eyes betraying his desperate craving as he looked at Ning Xuan.
Ning Xuan noticed his gaze and snorted in displeasure. "That look in your eyes... I don’t like it one bit. If I ever catch you looking at me with such a stupid expression again, you can say goodbye to those eyes."
With that threat, Ning Xuan ripped a tie from the bed canopy and used it to blindfold Chen Nan. As she pulled, the ice-silkworm silk drapery came tearing down, accompanied by the delicate chime of tiny bells.
With his eyes covered by the tie, Chen Nan’s world was plunged into darkness. Deprived of his most direct sense, his other senses were instantly magnified.
The delicate chime of the bells, for instance, sounded much clearer in his ears.
Beyond that, he felt the restlessness inside him intensifying. He desperately craved to be caressed, to be touched. Deep down, he even longed for rougher treatment.
To be whipped by Ning Xuan’s vines, for example, or bound, or even pierced.
He now recalled with vivid clarity the feeling of the vine piercing through his palm.
As he dwelled on the memory, he seemed to feel an intense, phantom pain in his long-healed palms. The agony quickly merged with the restless heat inside him, washing over his entire body like a tidal wave.
Ning Xuan watched Chen Nan writhing against the foot of the bed, her eyes a deep crimson. Her warm breath ghosted past his ear, instantly igniting the searing heat within him. Though he couldn’t see, he could feel her breath tracing a path along his neck, like a predator circling its chosen prey.
Kneeling on the floor beside the bed, Chen Nan compliantly tilted his head back, baring his long neck and offering it up to her like a sacrifice.
As Ning Xuan bit down, fearsome Black-red Vines erupted from her hands, engulfing Chen Nan completely.
「Early the next morning」
Ning Xuan’s internal clock woke her at her usual time. She opened her eyes and glanced at Chen Nan, who was still wrapped in the vines beside her, and felt a pang of guilt.
’She’d lost control a bit last night. Chen Nan seemed to be hurt pretty badly.’
The moment Ning Xuan stirred, Chen Nan woke as well. Seeing her staring into space, he opened his eyes and quickly greeted her, "Good morning, Contractor."
"Ah Nan, good morning," Ning Xuan replied with a smile.
"Contractor, could you please retract the vines?" Chen Nan asked cautiously, looking at the tendrils that were still bound tightly around his body. fгeewebnovёl.com
"Mhm." Ning Xuan nodded. She held out her hand, and with a WHOOSH, the vines shot into her palm and vanished.
