Wuxing's hands quickly released Scarlet's bottom as he pushed her to the side, getting off the bed immediately. His mind was following the standard instructions of any men who just committed something he shouldn't have.
But… Wuxing couldn't just pretend nothing happened…
The memory of his actions with Scarlet lodged deeply in his mind. It displayed over and over again as if to spite him.
"Is something wrong…?" Scarlet asked sleepily, stretching herself, which gave him a perfect view of her body.
She didn't seem to realize what just happened between them.
Her sweet cheery between her legs was all moist from his fingers. Her perky peaks had bite marks around her nipples. The shirt he lent her was on the floor. Wuxing remembered how he took it off.
Wuxing didn't even look away. Him looking at her naked body was the smallest of his current sins.
"I feel so good~" Scarlet announced, finally done stretching and opened her eyes more openly, gazing at him. She laid on her side, rubbing her chest at the bite marks as if she was itchy.
Only a few seconds later, Scarlet froze.
She gazed down at her body.
Then back at him.
She checked her surroundings and looked once again at him. Her face was pale, acting like she finally realized what happened.
But that was what confused Wuxing the most.
"You don't remember what you did…?" Wuxing asked speechlessly.
His question seemed to scare Scarlet even more as she asked back innocently, "What did I do…? I don't remember…"
She rubbed her eyes as if trying to remember, not bothered that he saw her naked body fully.
Wuxing peeked at Dongmei. She was still sleeping, giving him a bit more time to figure out what exactly happened.
'Devil Face, what the hell? Was it your doing?' Wuxing questioned in his mind irritated.
If Devil Face wanted him to claim Scarlet, the worst solution was immobilizing him and forcing him to commit adultery. He would never force himself on a woman.
'And what the hell was that blood-sucking? My neck still hurts!' Wuxing added, rubbing his neck. Although his wounds were all healed now, he could still smell the blood in the air.
'I wasn't me…' Devil Face replied immediately, his voice weak. 'I think we might have a problem… a massive one.'
At the same time, Scarlet shuddered. She looked up, returning his gaze. He saw not only guilt on her face but panic as well.
So it wasn't her doing…?
"I'm sorry, I—" Scarlet sat up to face him, but she didn't seem to know what to say, opening and closing her mouth. "It wasn't me doing it. It was—"
She froze, unable to finish the sentence as her eyes rolled backward, her body falling limply to the side.
Wuxing didn't think much, rushing to catch her only to have his wrists grabbed by her instead.
He… couldn't move? His wrists got locked by Scarlet, and he couldn't even lift his arms as if Scarlet was the strongest man on the planet.
"Scar—" He wanted to question her but then saw something scary.
Scarlet's eyes returned to normal, but her panic and confusion were gone. Instead, confidence and a playful smile replaced it.
"It was me," Scarlet said as she stood up while holding Wuxing's arms with iron claws like fingers, not letting him even budge.
Something was wrong.
It wasn't the Scarlet he knew.
It was someone else controlling her.
"Who are you?! And what did you do to Scarlet?!" Wuxing called out only to have his lips sealed by some strange power.
It was the same feeling as at night! Total immobilization!
Thud!
His back crashed into the wall as Scarlet pinned his wrists above his head. Even when she let go of him, Wuxing couldn't move an inch, his strength not enough to fight back.
"Shhh…" Scarlet shushed him gently while mashing her finger against his lips. "You don't want to wake up Dongmei, right?"
"Mhmm!" Wuxing exclaimed in response, glaring at her, but Scarlet only found it amusing.
"Hehe, I'm joking," Scarlet giggled and leaned over to his ear. "She won't wake up until I want her to…"
Dongmei getting pulled into it crossed his bottom line.
'Devil Face! Tell me what is going on!' Wuxing cried out in his mind, his only way to communicate. Devil Face knew what happened to Scarlet, yet he still stayed silent.
'I can't do anything to stop her. Just let her do what she wants until she runs out of energy. She is just playing around and promised she won't hurt you,' Devil Face replied depressed. 'I will tell you everything once she is done.'
'Who are you talking about? Who is she?'
'Scarlet's new Spirit,' Devil Face replied simply, dumbfounding Wuxing momentarily.
Scarlet had a Spirit? One they searched for? Shouldn't he be happy they found one then? Why doesn't he feel any happiness right now?
Scarlet answered his question as she pulled away, sitting back on the bed while crossing her legs. Her chest pressed forward as she leaned back on her arms.
"You asked who I am, so it's only proper for me to introduce myself," Scarlet began. "I'm Lady Elizabeth, Scarlet's new Spirit. Nice to meet you."
She seemed amused that he couldn't reply to her.
"Don't worry. I'm not harming Scarlet in any way," Lady Elizabeth assured. "It's just a simple possession which any Spirit can do, according to the contract you sign with us. The only downside is that it uses a lot of energy, but I'm already well-fed, so it's not a problem."
Scarlet bit on her lips as she gazed at him hungrily and walked up once again. He had blood on his neck, yet in a moment, she licked it clean. Her soft tongue moved up and down, pressed and sucked until she reached the same spot she bit the last time.
He couldn't help but shiver, thinking she will bite in his neck, but she pulled away, moving onto his face instead, kissing his cheek, his nose, and finally his lips. Just as before, he regained senses in the parts of his body she kissed, and she forced him to return it.
Knowing it wasn't Scarlet doing, Wuxing couldn't find the will to enjoy anything she did. Anything forced only irritated him rather than pleasing him.
"You know…" Lady Elizabeth spoke in between of their kiss, their tongues changing each other's shapes. "We didn't get to finish what we started yesterday… How about we go all the way this time?"
