"See, I told you it would be embarrassing." Hong Qing covered her face, yet anger still trembled in her voice. She had wasted half her life pampering a lazy idiot.
Now she only wanted to end it and move on.
"No, no, it’s just... wow. I knew something was wrong with you, but this is bigger than I thought." Wu Han finally understood what had been twisting inside her mind.
The hope she kept feeding herself clashed with the reality she lived in, and that mixture poisoned everything.
The worst thing a person could do was trap themselves in their own fantasy.
Illusion was meant to be used on others.
Turn it inward and it became addiction.
The real self would begin to rot underneath, either collapsing into madness or sinking so deep into lies that it could never climb back out.
As for Hong Qing, she was the former. The irrational part of her had kept growing, turning into bloodlust buried deep inside. The quiet wish to erase Yan Fei and find someone stronger slowly twisted into obsession.
"Still, you did all this because you want someone better to take care of you, right?" Wu Han did not hold much personal interest in her, yet the pattern was clear. He had seen cases like this before.
A person who only wanted a quiet life, yet kept being forced to stand at the front. That could turn into a nightmare.
"You got me." Hong Qing looked relieved that he understood.
"You set a pretty high standard aiming at me." Wu Han felt a little smug.
Out of all the geniuses in this town, she finally broke after meeting him.
But It was only natural. After all, he was a god.
How could a weak mortal resist the urge to kneel and praise a god?
"At least you are honest with yourself. Fine, I will hear your request. What do you want from me?" Wu Han leaned back in his chair and opened the floor to her.
He could already guess her answer, yet it was better for a person to speak their desire out loud.
"I--" Hong Qing stumbled over the words. "I want to be with you."
The desire had been growing since the day they first met, yet saying it now made her cheeks burn.
He was already engaged to the most precious girl in the town, maybe even the whole region.
Compared to Luo Lan, she felt like a bruised fruit beside a rare divine herb.
"Hmp..." Wu Han closed his eyes and thought.
Gaining faith at this stage of his plan was unexpected.
He had never intended to gather followers while he was still at the lowest realm.
Still, plans could change.
Even if he did not need her now, she might become useful.
The real question was how far she was willing to go for him.
She was unstable, and that helped.
People who broke inside were often easy to guide, and frighteningly efficient once pointed in a direction.
Because unlike a mindless minion he had to wipe clean just to make it obey, a follower could think for themselves.
They could act, adapt, and most important of all, keep improving.
Just look at Theron.
The bird kept stretching the gift he gave it in ways he had not even anticipated, and it was only a beast.
Worth a shot. Besides, I could always kill her if she turned out useless.
Wu Han shrugged and opened his eyes again.
Hong Qing’s face was tight with anticipation.
"Fine."
Joy flashed across her expression.
"But you will have to prove it to me," he continued. "And understand this. You will never be enough to stand equal to Luo Lan. If you can accept that for the rest of your life..."
He paused, then gave a faint smile. "Still, you might prove me wrong. I enjoy it when people exceed my expectations."
When everything followed the script, life became dull.
He wanted flavor.
He had once lived in perfect certainty, and it had drained the color from the world.
Now that he could feel again, he meant to savor it.
"Prove it?" Hong Qing blinked.
What did he mean by, oh...!
She might not be the most social person, yet she was still one of the popular girls in the sect. Rumors reached her ears whether she wanted them or not.
And most of the stories about Wu Han pointed in the same direction.
A womanizer.
Even the reason Yan Fei provoked him in the first place had started with what happened between Wu Han and Yan Fei’s sister.
If that’s so, then this will be easy! Hong Qing smirked, because she was still one of the top ten most beautiful girls in town, second only to Luo Lan, of course.
Prop
Hong Qing let her robe slip from her shoulders, revealing her full breasts and clean, pink nipples. They bounced lightly as they were freed, standing firm and upright without support.
"I’m talking about bringing me someone else’s hand, but you using your head is fine too." Wu Han chuckled, making Hong Qing embarrassed. Still, she persisted with her intention as she walked toward him, sat down beneath him, and carefully untied his robe.
Plap.
"Oh my..." Hong Qing was surprised by the size of it, its hot pulse pressing against her face. The scent was deeply erotic and turned her on immensely.
Since he was a genius doctor, of course he kept his body in unparalleled cleanliness.
"Hah... hah..." Her breathing grew ragged as her heart hammered.
Self-control slipped away like water through fingers.
She leaned forward, hesitating only a heartbeat before pressing her lips against it—softly kiss along its heated length.
The skin was smooth and hot against her mouth, and she felt herself growing wetter just from that small contact.
Her hand rose shakily and wrapped around it, fingers barely able to close fully around its girth.
She stroked slowly.
Hong Qing parted her lips and let her tongue glide out.
She traced along its length in a long, slow line from base to tip, leaving a glistening trail of saliva behind.
A soft, muffled moan escaped her throat as she breathed in its scent with her nose pressed close, eyes fluttering half-closed in pleasure.
Finally, unable to resist any longer, she opened her mouth wider.
Her lips stretched around its bulbous head, sealing tightly as she began to suckle gently.
She swirled her tongue around the sensitive crown.
Her head bobbed slightly as she took it deeper, experimenting with how much she could accommodate.
And it turned out, she could take it all.
Slurp~
She looked up at him with worshipful eyes, like a puppy seeking approval after taking it all inside her mouth.
