Chapter 63: Find a Way to Shut Her Up
Chapter 63: Find a Way to Shut Her Up
Ye Shu channeled the power of the Creation Tree sapling, his body enveloped in a faint golden glow as he pinned down “Nie Qing.”
She let out a blood-curdling scream—yet her face was filled with bliss, not a trace of pain. To her, this torment was nothing but a reward.
As the moments passed, the demonic aura around her grew weaker, her exhaustion visible. Reluctantly, she placed a trembling hand on Ye Shu’s arm, as if wanting to speak. But with his grip still tight around her throat, she couldn’t utter a word.
Seeing this, Ye Shu loosened his hold slightly, allowing her one last sentence.
She gasped out:
“Husband~ Let this servant be your dog… please?”
“You damned demon, still spouting nonsense!” Ye Shu’s brows furrowed as he tightened his grip again, even going so far as to sit fully atop her, ensuring she had no chance to resist.
The more contact their bodies had, the weaker she became—yet her lips still curled into a blissful smile.
“Husband…”
With that final whisper, her strength gave out. The demonic soul inside her was refined by Ye Shu’s power, transforming into a crimson light that shot into his body. It settled in his dantian, taking the form of a red butterfly perched upon the Creation Tree sapling.
“Wait—she wasn’t fully refined!” Ye Shu’s momentary relief vanished as he tensed again.
This Succubus Demon still had consciousness!
Now a crimson butterfly, she fluttered playfully around the sapling. And the moment Ye Shu focused his spiritual sense on her, her voice echoed in his mind:
“Husband~ I’m so happy! I’m still alive! I can be your dog now!! ♡”
Her excitement was so intense it nearly startled him.
At first, Ye Shu remained wary of her presence inside him. But as he probed further, he realized—
She was nothing but a fragile spirit now.
If he willed it, he could erase her in an instant.
Refined into submission.
The term flashed through his mind.
If he wasn’t mistaken, he had tamed this Succubus Demon into servitude. Her life, her every action—all under his control.
And indeed, though she flitted around the Creation Tree sapling, she couldn’t leave its bounds. She clung to its branches, greedily absorbing its energy, her pink wings—etched with mesmerizing patterns—fluttering in delight.
“So the Creation Art has the power to refine spirits into slaves… But ordinary ghosts aren’t worthy. Only special entities like this Succubus Demon can be conquered.”
This was both a power boost and a hidden trump card.
With this ability, he could do many things.
For example—this Succubus Demon could possess others when their will was weak, seizing their bodies and cultivation, turning them into puppets.
The thought made Ye Shu smirk.
“If Master Luo Jiuyan ever let her guard down… could this demon possess her? Would she become my slave? If that ever happened… heh.”
But realistically? Impossible.
Luo Jiuyan’s strength was peerless in this world. When would she ever be vulnerable? Even if the opportunity arose, she’d recover instantly—unlike Senior Sister Nie, who had been caught off guard.
“How long are you planning to sit on me?”
A voice suddenly came from beneath him.
Ye Shu looked down—
Nie Qing had regained consciousness.
And he was still on top of her.
Her face was flushed with embarrassment, as if she remembered everything the demon had done while controlling her.
Especially the kiss.
Her lips pressed together, as if she could still feel the lingering warmth.
“Senior Sister, let me make one thing clear—everything I did just now was out of necessity! Senior Sister Lan can vouch for me!”
Ye Shu didn’t move an inch until he got his explanation out.
Truthfully, these words weren’t for Nie Qing.
The two of them already had that kind of relationship in secret. A kiss was just a slightly faster progression—something she could accept.
No, this was for Lan Caidie’s ears.
Lan Caidie had a sharp tongue and loved stirring trouble.
She had witnessed the kiss. If she twisted the story, the tale wouldn’t be “Ye Shu sacrificed himself to save his Senior Sister”—
It’d be “Ye Shu took advantage of Nie Qing in her vulnerable state.”
Sure enough, Lan Caidie’s eyes glinted with mischief.
“That’s right, Senior Sister. Junior Brother had no choice. I can vouch for him.”
She had to admit—Ye Shu had stayed behind to “sacrifice himself” when the Succubus Demon appeared. She’d love to embellish the story later to mess with him, but since he’d asked her to testify, she couldn’t outright lie.
“I know, I know.” Nie Qing’s lips trembled like a wavy line as she stared up at Ye Shu, still pinning her down. “J-Junior Brother… could you get off first?”
Only after her reply did Ye Shu finally rise, casting a wary glance at Lan Caidie.
The moment the weight lifted, Nie Qing exhaled deeply. Her robes were drenched in sweat, and if not for her usual composure, she might’ve burst into tears.
“Damn it!” She stood up, back turned to Ye Shu, biting her lip in frustration.
The Succubus Demon had trapped her consciousness, forcing her to watch helplessly as her body kissed Ye Shu. She had been powerless, left to wallow in silent despair.
Now free, she couldn’t even face him.
Meanwhile, Ye Shu remained calm, analyzing whether he’d covered all his bases. After all, there was still a witness—
Lan Caidie.
And he didn’t trust her one bit.
“Senior Sister… you wouldn’t want this incident getting out, would you?” He sent a mental message to the still-flustered Nie Qing.
“Of course not!” She turned slightly, confusion flashing across her face. What’s he implying?
The fewer people who knew about their kiss, the better.
Right now, the only outsider was Lan Caidie. But shutting her up for good was nearly impossible—her mouth was too loose!
“I have a way to silence her.” Ye Shu’s gaze darkened.
“Junior Brother, no! She’s still our sect sister—we can’t turn on our own!” Nie Qing paled, shaking her head frantically. Had she guessed his intentions?
“Uh…”
Ye Shu broke into a cold sweat.
Since when did I plan to kill her?! How did Senior Sister jump to that conclusion?!
Nie Qing, seeing his reaction, grew even more puzzled.
If not murder… how else could they shut Lan Caidie up?
But Ye Shu already had a plan.
“Normally, it’s impossible to shut her up… but if we literally shut her mouth, wouldn’t that solve it?”
