Hearing her words, Tianlong suddenly raised an eyebrow, his head tilting with mock offense.

"Wait, why are you talking like I'm some kind of pervert?"

Yu Xiang blinked, lifting her face from his chest with confusion painted across her features. She looked at him for a moment before sighing deeply, her violet eyes drifting downward toward her chest.

There, plain as day, his hand was already working at the silk fastenings of her crimson robe, fingers deftly moving to unhook the delicate clasps.

She gave him the most deadpan, blank look imaginable—the expression of someone who'd caught a thief red-handed with their hand in the cookie jar.

Tianlong, like the shameless man he was, continued his work with practiced ease. His fingers moved with surgical precision, slowly parting the silk until her cleavage became visible—the pale valley between her modest but perfectly shaped breasts, rising and falling with her still-ragged breathing from their earlier kiss.

He began to lean down toward the exposed skin, but Yu Xiang's hand shot up, her palm pressing firmly against his face to stop his descent.

"Stop right now," she demanded breathlessly, her fingers splaying across his cheek as she clasped his face. "And tell me which woman you're talking about."

Tianlong halted, his movements freezing as he looked up at her through her fingers. Then he did something that made her heart skip several beats—he gave her the most devastating puppy dog eyes she'd ever seen.

Those crimson-gold orbs turned soft and pleading, almost vulnerable, as if he were a lost child begging for comfort.

The effect was immediate and devastating.

Her lips began to tremble, her resolve cracking like ice under spring sun. Her hand, which had been firmly pressed against his face, slowly began to loosen its grip. Without quite realizing what she was doing, her fingers began threading through his dark hair, the silky strands sliding between her digits.

Taking advantage of her weakened defenses, Tianlong slowly lowered his head again. His lips found the exposed valley of her cleavage, pressing soft, reverent kisses to the pale skin there.

"Ahhn..."

A sharp gasp escaped Yu Xiang's lips as she felt the heat of his mouth against her sensitive flesh. Her body flinched involuntarily, unused to such intimate contact in such a vulnerable place.

Her breathing, which had finally been returning to normal, became uneven once again. Each kiss sent electric shocks through her nervous system, making her arch slightly against him despite herself.

Tianlong's mouth moved higher, finding the soft upper curve of her breast where it swelled above her loosened robe. His lips sealed around the tender flesh, and he began to suck with deliberate intensity.

[DING!]

[Intimate Contact Detected: Breast Stimulation]

[Target: Yu Xiang - Heroine Status]

[Reward: +650 Harem Points]

[Favorability Increase: 85% → 90%]

"Ngh—!"

Yu Xiang's entire body trembled as she held onto him, her fingers tightening in his hair. The sensation was overwhelming—heat and suction and something that bordered on the edge of pain but somehow felt incredible.

"Are you... are you still not done?" she gasped, her eyes widening as she felt his hand move to cup her breast fully.

The sudden contact made her want to push him away, but instead she found herself closing her eyes tightly, as if enduring some sweet torment that she didn't want to end.

Tianlong increased the intensity of his sucking, drawing the soft flesh deeper into his mouth. Yu Xiang winced as the sensation intensified, pleasure mixed with the sharp edge of oversensitivity.

Finally, he released her with a wet 'pop' that echoed through the forest clearing.

Her breast bounced slightly from the sudden release, and she looked down to see a dark purple hickey marking her pale skin—a brand of possession that made her cheeks burn with embarrassment.

The silk robe had slipped further, barely protecting what remained of her modesty as Tianlong pulled back to look at her. His crimson-gold eyes burned with such intense hunger that it made her breath catch in her throat.

"You know what," he said, his voice rough with barely restrained desire as he gazed at her flushed, marked skin, "if not for the short time I have, I would have eaten you right now, here in this tree, and I might even eat you for a whole month continuously without stopping."

Yu Xiang's face went through a cascade of expressions—shock, embarrassment, and something else she couldn't name.

The vulgar compliment should have offended her, but instead it awakened some new side of herself that found his raw honesty strangely warming rather than crude.

His hand moved to cup her cheek with surprising gentleness, thumb brushing over her flushed skin as he looked into her violet eyes.

"The woman I'm talking about," he said softly, "her name is Kitsune Akane."

Yu Xiang blinked, trying to process the name through the haze of arousal still clouding her thoughts.

"Kitsune... isn't that the fox clan title?"

Tianlong nodded, his expression growing more serious even as his thumb continued its gentle caress of her cheek.

"Right now, we're within the Northern Beast Territories, where the Fox Clan ensures the seal...."

It took some time, but Tianlong explained about his next target being the mother of Kitsune Yuki, the woman whom Zhao Chen had met.

Yu Xiang's violet eyes widened as she processed everything Tianlong had just told her. She couldn't help but recall the fox woman Zhao Chen had encountered—the one with nine tails and an arrogant demeanor that had made even Yu Xiang's skin crawl with unease.

Naturally, she had known it was likely Tianlong's plan, or could have easily guessed how Zhao Chen, the fool, had fallen perfectly into whatever trap had been set.

But now, witnessing this firsthand and hearing how this man wasn't just planning to set up a trap using that dangerous fox woman—he was actually going after her too.

At the time, Yu Xiang had assumed he simply wanted to use that woman to ensnare Zhao Chen somehow. She had never expected that his aim included that woman as well, and apparently her mother too.

She just chuckled, a sound that mixed disbelief with reluctant admiration.

Here this man had been showing her his perverted side until now, and finally when he'd said those words about Kitsune Akane, it felt almost like a cosmic joke.

She realized how he had already planned to target that woman—not just for trapping someone, but as revenge for her humiliating him at the wedding by not just targeting that particular woman, but her mother all along.

Something that might have never come to anyone else's mind, especially given how outrageous it was.

From what he'd told her, it appeared that woman was even stronger than him. For someone of such power to be in this realm was already confusing enough, let alone even thinking of approaching someone like her.

Yet, as she looked toward this man who appeared so strange and unclear—like a perverted fool on the surface—somehow she found herself expecting him to already have a comprehensive plan.

She didn't even have to think about what strategy to employ.

Yu Xiang simply looked toward him and asked with remarkable calmness, "What do I need to do?"

It was as if she instinctively knew that despite everything, despite seeing him give that familiar smirk while nudging his nose affectionately against hers with those loving gestures that made her feel so strange inside—she trusted his competence.

She had never let a man be this close to her, never allowed such intimate touches. Even after all that had happened, when she thought of him as a pervert, he was being simultaneously gentle and loving while also being a cunning bastard who was trying to get someone's mother in his bed just because that person had offended him.

He was cruel and lovable at the same time, like no one could read him properly. The contradiction fascinated and terrified her in equal measure.

Tianlong's smirk widened as he saw the acceptance in her eyes, the way she'd simply surrendered to his leadership without question.

"Nothing complicated," he said, his voice carrying that same casual confidence that had become so familiar. "You just have to run."

Yu Xiang raised an eyebrow, confusion flickering across her features.

"Run? Run from what exactly?"

"From an evil fox who has been unsealed by your mistake," he said with theatrical seriousness, though his crimson-gold eyes danced with mischief.

She tilted her head, violet eyes narrowing with suspicion and curiosity.

"And who exactly might this evil fox be?"

Before she could react, his hand suddenly squeezed her breast through the loosened silk, fingers pressing into the soft flesh with possessive firmness.

The unexpected contact made her wince sharply, her eyes widening as she looked down at his hand with shock.

"Ahhn—!"

She flinched as he leaned closer, his breath hot against the shell of her ear as he whispered in a voice that was pure sin wrapped in silk.

"Of course, it would be me," he murmured, his lips brushing against her sensitive earlobe as he spoke. "So run, my dear, lovely Xiang."

'System,' he thought inwardly, his mental voice sharp with purpose, 'I need the highest version morphing bracelet available. Something so advanced that even a Great Mahayana realm cultivator couldn't see through it.'

The familiar blue interface materialized in his vision, text scrolling across his field of view with mechanical precision.

But inwardly, his thoughts were already racing ahead to his target.

'Fox Lady, you better recover my Harem points back,' he muttered mentally, his inner voice carrying both threat and promise.

'This investment better pay off, or I'll make sure your body does overtime to earn back every single point.'
