"I was about to ask the same. I hope it was worth my time to meet with you," Xuefeng replied confidently. "Are you going to talk behind that curtain or come out to see me?"
The Mermaid Queen responded with silence while her body didn"t move an inch. Only after a moment did the curtain move as a graceful leg broke through. Xuefeng could barely get a glimpse of her soft thigh before the curtain closed and the Mermaid Queen returned to her pose.
The negotiations didn"t even start yet this temptress was already trying to seduce him.
"Your eyes couldn"t help but follow my legs. Are you the same as every man and think with your lower body instead of your brain?" the Mermaid Queen teased before leaning back on the bed. "It"s a shame. I thought you wouldn"t be tempted by me this easily."
"Haha," Xuefeng laughed. "If you ask if I"m a pervert then you are right. I"m h.o.r.n.y all the time and if not for certain circ.u.mstances, I would rather stay at home with my wives. If you look outside, all the women in my group are mine and I make sure to satisfy them plenty."
He glanced at her legs and added, "As for your attempt to tempt me, I"m sorry but that"s not what you think. I was only looking because I was surprised to see you have legs instead of a tail. You can think whatever you want though. I don"t care what others think about me."
Xuefeng was already crossing boundaries so he braced himself for the Mermaid Queen"s attack but it didn"t come. Instead, he heard a gentle chuckle. "Is that so? This is the Half-beast Form I chose for our meeting. Forgive me for accusing you prematurely. Here is a gift as an apology."
The Mermaid Queen touched her waist before sliding her palms down her legs. Xuefeng couldn"t help but squint his eyes at the familiar movements only to see a piece of white panties hanging from her toes. She spun it around before throwing it into Xuefeng"s hands.
He caught them instinctively but immediately regretted it afterward.
"You… That was clever, I admit it…" Xuefeng praised as his body trembled, trying to resist the Soul Art she just cast on him. "I came in peace yet this is how you treat your guests?"
The moment Xuefeng caught her warm panties, her Soul Power infiltrated into his body and her Soul Art activated. His body instantly turned hot while his mind felt clouded. If Xuefeng didn"t know it was her doing, he would think he ate some aphrodisiac.
"Thank you, but I will be the one to decide how to treat my guests," the Mermaid Queen replied. "Now that you are under my influence, let"s have a little chat, shall we?"
"Honestly, you asked for it. Didn"t I tell you to be careful? She got you as easy as stealing candy from a little kid," Ming commented sarcastically. "Hold on, let us try to break it. This Soul Art doesn"t seem dangerous aside from influencing your mind. Entertain her for now."
Xuefeng could barely hear her as his mind filled with yearning and desire. He shook his head before slapping his face to regain some clarity. This was not the first time he was in such a condition so he had some experience.
"First of all, it"s "My Queen", not "You". We are not friends yet so behave accordingly," the Mermaid Queen corrected calmly. "You were too bold and overconfident with me so I had to punish you a little. I"m amused that you thought I would be the one entertaining you."
She sat back straight while placing one leg on another and asked, "Now tell me, who are you and what are your intentions for coming to my Kingdom?"
"Who am I…?" Xuefeng repeated as he smiled despite his dire situation. "I"m Liu Xuefeng, the Holder of the Elemental Bracelet as well as the most wanted Cultivator in the Cultivation World. Do you think the King of Heaven would ask the whole world to kill me if I could be defeated easily?"
Would Xuefeng be the master of bluffing if he didn"t try to double down? Just because he was losing his mind didn"t mean he lost his powers.
Swoosh!
His Air Stone lit up as wind blew against the bed curtains and exposed the Mermaid Queen in full view.
"I prefer to look at the person I am talking to. Being a Queen doesn"t make you an exception."
Her long, light pink hair danced to the wind, only held in place by a silver crown decorated with gems. Her sky-blue eyes matched her fin-like ears and the scales that wrapped her belly from both sides. She definitely didn"t look like an old Queen but rather a woman in her prime age.
Too bad, Xuefeng didn"t get a good look at her as his eyes turned blurry. He lost the feeling in his legs and dropped to his knees. All he could see was the outline of the Mermaid Queen"s body as she walked up to him.
"Do you realize what you just did can get you killed?" the Mermaid Queen asked sternly but Xuefeng only let out a dry laugh. "Hah, if you think I was ever scared of dying then you are deeply mistaken. If you try to kill me though, you and your whole Kingdom will die with me after my Fate Spirits detonate their Souls. Not to mention my Wives who will go on a rampage and kill any survivors. Too bad, you wouldn"t be able to witness that."
"Done! We removed all her Soul Power from your body!" Ming announced at the right time. "Don"t touch her again!"
His eyes regained clarity and he stood up abruptly, facing the Mermaid Queen face to face.
"I"m sure you don"t want that to happen so how about we talk about the benefits we can provide to each other instead?"
The Mermaid Queen squinted her eyes as if she tried to look into his Soul to find his true intentions.
"What benefits do you want to talk about?" She questioned casually, not shying away from his gaze. She was so close they could feel their hot breaths.
"Just like how I want something from you, I am sure there is something that you might want from me," Xuefeng replied with a soft smile.
"Oh, really?" The Mermaid Queen blinked interested. "What if I told you that I am satisfied with my life and I don"t need anything? What would you say?"
"I would say that you are lying and you know exactly what you want," Xuefeng countered confidently. "If I were to guess, I would say your current life is boring and you are looking for some excitement. There is no one around you that is entertaining enough which is why you agreed to meet me."
Xuefeng didn"t let her answer and instead reached out to hold onto her waist. He didn"t lose eye contact with her as he trailed his hand up on her back and pulled her closer till their chests touched together.
Instead of being angry at his touch, she was looking at him curiously.
"You are not stopping me," Xuefeng pointed out as he gently held her face and caressed her cheek. "Is this what you desire?"
"If you think that"s what I want from you…" the Mermaid Queen paused as she reached up on her own to grope his chest. "What is stopping me from taking it by myself without giving anything in return?"
As she finished, his body began to heat up again as she activated her Soul Art.
"You are on your own. I told you not to touch her yet you did it anyway. I"m not helping you this time," Ming protested but Xuefeng didn"t believe he was wrong.
He could tell she was similar to Nuwa and if there was anything she would want from him, it would be his specialty.
Pa!
His hand slipped from her back and smacked her b.u.t.t with no mercy. Her mouth opened in surprise only to be locked again by his own. He kissed her deeply while brushing through her hair while squeezing her firm bottom to his liking.
Mhmm!
She finally reacted by piercing her nails into his chest yet Xuefeng lifted her slim body and threw himself on the bed. He continued to kiss her strongly while covering her with his weight and caressed her naked waist all the way to her ample b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
The Mermaid Queen was like a lamb pinned to the ground by the hungry wolf. She was completely disoriented while her body moved ahead of her mind, her tongue matching his own.
She trembled when he pulled her bra and grasped her breast but instead of pushing him away, she pulled him closer instead. That was the moment Xuefeng suddenly pulled away.
Hu...
The Mermaid Queen breathed out deeply as Xuefeng stared into her eyes with his hungry gaze.
"If you think you can get the same experience by taking it yourself, go ahead."
After he spoke, he got off her and walked away towards her nightstand before casually pouring himself a gla.s.s of water. She was left speechless as she stared at him the whole time.
"So what is your choice?"
