Chapter 8: Please Don’t Lift My Skirt, Okay?

The night seemed even darker than the previous evening.

Shi Xingluo once again hadn’t changed out of his dress or removed the wig from his head.

However, tonight’s “work uniform” was a long sheer skirt that reached past his knees. His face was made up with innocent, delicate makeup that evoked pity in anyone who saw him.

Even his swaying steps in the wind appeared ethereal and graceful, as soft as if he were boneless.

The moonlight was partially obscured, creating a hazy illusion that even the dim yellow streetlights seemed to grow dimmer.

Shi Xingluo’s steps were somewhat hurried. “Although I left food for Fang Qiuli this morning, she still needs to relieve herself besides eating and drinking. I need to return quickly tonight.”

He wouldn’t serve at her bedside like the original owner did, nor would he hand over all his earnings, but he wouldn’t let the paralyzed Fang Qiuli die either.

Was it because of mother-son affection? Blood ties?

No, that was the original owner’s mother.

Not his.

Shi Xingluo held no feelings for her.

Even out of humanitarian consideration for this body, for this kind of woman who refused to listen to advice or awaken, he could only let her continue living like this.

Of course, for Shi Xingluo, the most important thing was that only with Fang Qiuli alive and necessarily paralyzed could he make Shi Xiancun understand what “family” truly meant~

As Shi Xingluo lowered his head, rapidly contemplating how to teach Shi Xiancun to be a better person, the air behind him suddenly stirred with a cold breeze that blew directly against the back of his neck.

It was the wind brought by someone approaching rapidly.

With Shi Xingluo’s reaction speed, he certainly had the opportunity to dodge without even needing to look back.

But the next moment, he let out a soft gasp like a startled fawn, “Ah, who’s there!”

Erya was also startled: “…Host, why didn’t you dodge?”

Though Shi Xingluo’s face showed panic, his voice in the Sea of Consciousness was terrifyingly calm, “Why should I dodge? Be good and shield yourself, right now, immediately.”

Erya: “…”

Whimpering, the host is really going all out to quickly confirm the Demon God’s identity and sleep with him, even actively baiting the hook now. The host is working so hard for the mission!

A pair of arms tightly embraced Shi Xingluo’s slender waist from behind, and cold breath fell beside his ear, “Don’t turn around. I won’t hurt you.”

Shi Xingluo began to struggle, “It’s you again! Why are you following me every night? I’ll have you know, I’m a proper young lady!”

Their two bodies pressed tightly together front and back, and this time Shi Xingluo clearly felt the stiffened frame behind him noticeably tense up.

Shi Xingluo secretly curved his lips, becoming increasingly animated as he spoke, “I’m a good girl. I work at the bar just to make ends meet. My heart and body are both pure and clean! You absolutely must not defile me!”

His words only made the breathing behind him grow increasingly unsteady.

The other person exhaled sharply, as if desperately restraining some impulse, “Such a chattering little mouth. I should have known I should have gagged you like last night.”

Defile… He hadn’t originally had such direct thoughts, and he didn’t think he’d be driven to such ideas by mere prey.

But the moment this fool mentioned it; he suddenly felt an unprecedented desire and impulse. Defile… what a beautiful word!

He suddenly really wanted to, wanted it so very badly.

Shi Xingluo tilted her head back, gazing at the indistinct moon, her voice trembling with pitiful distress. “Besides, my parents are waiting for me at home. They won’t sleep until I return whenever I go out alone at night as a delicate young woman. Please, just let me go?”

The person behind her took several deep breaths, but it didn’t seem like sympathy—instead, their resolve hardened. “You weren’t like this last night. I’m suddenly curious—which version is the real you?”

“Of course I’m just a frightened, helpless girl! Waaah, I’m calling the police!”

As she spoke, she raised her hand to fumble in her pocket, as if searching for her phone.

Another large hand abruptly pressed down on hers, forcibly guiding her fingers away from the pocket. Then, gripping her hand, the person made her press her own fingers against her throat. A cold breath brushed against Shi Xingluo’s ear, tinged with mockery. “Call the police? Do you even know how?”

Shi Xingluo shivered slightly. “No… don’t tell anyone…”

“Close your eyes, or I’ll knock you out. Your choice.”

The eerie voice seeped into Shi Xingluo’s ears. She inwardly cursed the pervert but maintained a facade of panicked fear. “Alright, alright! I’ll close my eyes! But don’t go too far!”

True to her words, she shut her eyes.

The next moment, warm lips first touched the nape of her neck, then trailed slowly forward along her skin until they met her lips.

Instantly, it was as if a floodgate had burst open a frantic, chaotic kiss, laden with suppressed desire and madness, devouring every breath in Shi Xingluo’s mouth.

In the darkness, Shi Xingluo’s eyebrows shot up, and her eyes flew open. She seized the body that had shifted in front of her. “Got you!”

“What the!?”

In the next instant, Shi Xingluo nearly exploded on the spot. The man’s face was still obscured by oversized sunglasses that covered half his features.

How utterly shameless, she cursed inwardly, reaching to snatch those pitch-black, ridiculously large frames off his face.

“Tch!”

Before she could move again, the man suddenly grunted, his voice carrying a hint of gritted teeth. “Let go.”

“No.”

Shi Xingluo snorted dismissively, but her amusement vanished in the next second.

Because both men’s hands were still firmly gripping her waist.

This doesn’t make sense!

Shi Xingluo’s pupils contracted in shock.

The man spoke again, “Let go. If it breaks, you’ll be the one suffering.”

“Holy crap!!!”

Shi Xingluo recoiled as if electrocuted, shoving him away before sprinting off at full speed!

As for tearing off his glasses or exposing this damned pervert on the spot she no longer cared in the slightest!

Was it embarrassing?

No, no she’d initially thought this creep might be twisted, but he had a handsome face and a personality that suited her tastes. She’d even considered that someday, she might be open to… that with him.

It could even help trigger some Destruction Value and make completing her mission easier.

After all, she was naturally attracted to men.

But now… since they were both men, she knew exactly what that size implied. Time to bail!

If not now, then when? Never see him again!

As for that stupid mission screw it! Let someone else handle it. She was out.

Yes, Shi Xingluo, who had always been fiercely competitive and never admitted defeat, was now conceding that he couldn’t handle this wasn’t that enough?
