Happy times always fly by.
Like the past three days, the night passed quickly.
For the past three days, Shien usually woke up after sunrise.
But this time, he woke up before dawn.
No, he hadn’t slept at all last night.
And he was mercilessly beaten by a certain Succubus.
“I’m going to kill you, you bastard!”
Shafney, her face filled with exhaustion, yet fueled by rage, grabbed a pillow and hit Shien with all her might, despite her lack of strength.
“Are… are you trying to murder your husband…!?”
Shien, also exhausted, barely managed to block the incoming pillows, almost throwing out his back.
Seeing him like this, Shafney’s anger intensified.
“You said you were awake! You said you’d be gentle!” she shouted, feeling her exhaustion again, wanting to bite him.
“I… I couldn’t help myself,” Shien said, embarrassed, wincing from the soreness in his body.
He was drained again.
The reason was simple: he went too far.
“I finally understand why I was so exhausted these past few days, even unconsciously,” Shien complained, “It’s not that I didn’t want to stop, but I couldn’t.”
After all, his opponent was the most beautiful woman in the three realms, the Succubus.
Not just her appearance, but her figure, the smoothness of her skin, the softness of her body, and her mature and seductive aura were all incredibly alluring. She was a true enchantress, capable of driving men to their deaths willingly.
That extreme pleasure, even now, made Shien feel a surge of desire, wanting to continue until he was completely drained.
But Shafney didn’t take this as a compliment.
“You… get out!” Trembling, she pointed at the door, her voice filled with fury, “From now on, you’re not allowed to touch me!”
She was clearly enraged.
“Are you really angry?” Shien blinked, forcing a smile, “Alright, alright, I know I was wrong.”
He hadn’t expected such a strong reaction from her. When he was aroused and wanted to indulge his desires, she didn’t seem to resist much, so he thought she didn’t mind.
Shien didn’t know that most of Shafney’s anger stemmed from helplessness. She couldn’t resist him, even though she wasn’t powerless this time. She could have stopped him, but she didn’t resist at all when he pounced. This was what truly angered her.
In other words, she was angry at herself, not at Shien. Although she knew she wasn’t unwilling to resist, but truly couldn’t.
Just as mentioned before, after their intimate encounter, Shien couldn’t avoid being influenced by Shafney’s power, and neither could she resist his advances.
This was the limitation of her Unique Skill, making her unable to resist him.
This was why Shafney couldn’t refuse him.
Knowing this, she could only sulk and vent her frustration.
Shien, unaware of this, thought she was angry because he went too far.
Shafney wouldn’t explain, simply gritting her teeth.
“I’m not joking,” she said furiously, “From now on, you’re not allowed to force yourself on me, understand?” She was truly afraid of that feeling of helplessness, being manipulated without being able to resist.
“Seriously?” Shien asked, seeing her genuine resistance, feeling a pang of reluctance.
“Of course,” Shafney said seriously, looking at Shien, “I hope you understand that what happened between us was an accident, not something consensual.”
Shien frowned and fell silent.
Seeing him like this, Shafney’s attitude softened.
“I know you just couldn’t help yourself last night, and it wasn’t because you have strong feelings for me, right?” she said, “You’re a man, I understand your impulses, but you should think about why you avoided me so much before.”
Shafney’s words made Shien reflect.
“I didn’t want to be like others, completely captivated by your charm, forgetting my stance, my duties, even the people around me, only seeing you and becoming a pathetic simp. That’s why I avoided you,” he said, understanding what she was trying to say.
What Shafney wanted to say was simple.
“Honestly, I admire that about you,” she said, being truthful with him for the first time.
“I hate those who fawn over me, offer me everything, and cling to me relentlessly. Such people are the most boring in the world to me.”
Not all women liked being easily pursued and unconditionally adored.
Shafney was such a woman, finding those who were instantly captivated by her to be spineless and lacking in willpower, focusing all their attention on a single woman, disregarding themselves and others, just obedient puppets.
That’s why she gave Shien such a high score, since he had his own thoughts and principles, even actively avoiding her.
But last night, Shien had lost control. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have pounced on her so suddenly. Although Shafney also bore some responsibility, having said those suggestive words in that situation, weakening his self-control, his subsequent actions were proof of him succumbing to his impulses.
“You’ve already had me. I’m your first, and probably also your last, so I don’t want you to become the kind of boring person I hate the most. Do you understand?” Shafney was truly worried about this. What happened between them was an accident, but fortunately, it was with Shien, someone she admired. Coupled with other factors, she eventually accepted it. But if Shien became like those boring people, she wouldn’t know what to do.
Therefore, her anger was partly a warning.
Shien, sensing her feelings, relaxed his furrowed brow.
