Tales of demons and gods: Ultimate Villain

Chapter 5: Ch 5 Suspicions, Spiritual Constellation Technique.



"Didn't you say you were joking before? I'm your aunt; we can't have a sexual relationship," Shen Xiu said, her voice steady but her expression unreadable as she fixed her gaze on Shen Fei.

"Aunt, you bitch," Shen Fei replied with a smirk, his tone dripping with arrogance. "You strut around wearing revealing clothes in front of me every day. Isn't it because you enjoy others lustfully staring at your body? What a provocative aunt. Instead of letting strangers have their way with you, wouldn't it be better to have your dear nephew claim you instead?"

Shen Xiu's face flushed with a mix of shock and anger. Her hands clenched at her sides, but after a moment, she stood up decisively. Without a word, she untied her bathrobe and let it slide off her shoulders, the soft fabric pooling at her feet. Her bare body, glistening from her recent bath, was now fully exposed before Shen Fei.

Her damp red hair cascaded down her back, framing her fox-like face, which exuded a blend of elegance and seduction. Her captivating eyes seemed to challenge him as she jutted her chest forward, proudly displaying her flawless curves. Her narrow waist and curvaceous hips flowed seamlessly into one another, her skin glowing like polished ivory. Her rosy nipples, pert and inviting, seemed to tease him with their allure.

"Is this what you want? Do you desire to make this body yours?" Shen Xiu asked, her voice tinged with a mix of mockery and defiance. "Fine, I'll give you a chance. If you can become a Gold Rank Demon Spiritualist within a month, then this body is yours to use however you wish. Do you accept?" Her tone was sharp and commanding, as though daring him to take up the challenge.

"Bet accepted," Shen Fei declared confidently, his smirk widening. He stepped forward, wrapping his arms around her exposed figure, pulling her into an embrace before guiding her toward the bed.

"Ah! Bastard, what are you doing?" Shen Xiu exclaimed, her voice unsteady as her earlier composure wavered.

"Relax, Aunt. I'm just hugging you to sleep," Shen Fei replied smoothly. "My room is being cleaned by the maids, so think of this as a small advance payment for the reward you promised me."

Without waiting for her response, Shen Fei lay down on the bed, pulling her down with him. His chest pressed firmly against her back as he held her close.

But Shen Fei's hands weren't content to stay still. Slowly, they began to roam over her body, exploring her soft, smooth skin. He kneaded her breasts gently, letting his fingers trail down her sides, and occasionally grabbed the firm flesh of her hips, pinching and squeezing her ass playfully. Shen Xiu gasped, her protests faltering as her body squirmed under his touch.

"Mmh"

"Stop it, you brat!" she hissed, though her voice lacked conviction. Her words were weak compared to her earlier fiery demeanor.

Despite her curses and attempts to push him away, Shen Fei continued to tease her with bold confidence. Eventually, the two drifted into an uneasy sleep, tangled together on the bed.

The Next Morning.

Shen Fei woke up early, his gaze lingering on Shen Xiu's sleeping form. Her face was serene, her features soft and alluring even in rest. Smirking to himself, he dressed quickly and quietly left the room.

Upon arriving at his own quarters, Shen Fei noticed that the maids had already cleaned everything to perfection. He gave a brief nod of approval before ordering breakfast to be brought to him. Once he finished his meal, he headed toward the family library.

The morning air was crisp, and the corridors were relatively quiet. Only a handful of guards were stationed along the way, each bowing respectfully as he passed. Shen Fei responded with a simple nod, his mind already focused on his plans for the day.

When he entered the library, the elder stationed there raised a curious brow, muttering under his breath as Shen Fei walked past. "Strange... It's already the third day. Has the young master really turned over a new leaf, or is he just pretending?"

Shen Fei ignored the elder's mutterings and made his way to the farthest section of the library. Without selecting a specific book, he started from the last shelf, pulling out volumes one by one. His goal was ambitious: to study every single book in the Sacred Family Library.

With unwavering focus, Shen Fei read continuously. His ability to retain and comprehend information had improved drastically, granting him a perfect photographic memory and unparalleled intelligence. He absorbed knowledge at an astonishing rate, tackling complex topics with ease. The benefits were clear—enhanced problem-solving skills, rapid comprehension, and a growing mastery of various disciplines.

By the end of nearly eight hours, Shen Fei had finished reading all the books from four consecutive bookshelves. From herbology and alchemy to inscription, refining, and even a few foundational cultivation techniques, he had gained a wealth of knowledge.

The elder guarding the library occasionally glanced at Shen Fei, his bewilderment growing. As a Black Gold Demon Spiritualist, even he couldn't read so quickly. "How is this possible?" the elder muttered to himself. "Could he truly be reading, or is he merely pretending?"

As the sun dipped lower in the sky, Shen Fei closed the last book of the day. Satisfied with his progress, he left the library and made his way to the dining hall.

The Dining Hall

When Shen Fei arrived, Shen Xiu and Shen Yue were already seated, enjoying their meal. Shen Fei took the seat beside Shen Xiu, who immediately shot him a cold glare. Her cheeks flushed as memories of the previous night surfaced, but she quickly masked her embarrassment with an angry snort, turning her attention back to her food.

The maids served Shen Fei promptly, and he began eating without a word. However, as he ate, his hand casually slid beneath the table, brushing against Shen Xiu's thigh. She stiffened, her face turning an even deeper shade of red as she glared at him furiously.

"Stop it," she hissed in a low voice, her tone sharp enough to cut glass. But Shen Fei only smirked and continued, his fingers tracing slow, deliberate circles on her soft skin.

Shen Xiu, feeling flustered and outmaneuvered, slammed her chopsticks onto the table. The loud noise startled Shen Yue, who looked up in confusion. Shen Xiu stood abruptly, her glare searing as she spat, "You're such a bastard!" Without another word, she stormed out of the dining hall, her movements hurried and agitated.

Shen Fei chuckled softly, unfazed by her outburst, and continued eating. Once he finished, he stood and left as well, leaving a bewildered Shen Yue behind, who stared after them with a mixture of confusion and suspicion.

Shen Fei continued the same routine every day. In the mornings, he went to the library and spent the entire day engrossed in books. After dinner, he meditated in his room until midnight before sneaking into Shen Xiu's room. Despite her protests, he insisted on sleeping beside her, often taking small liberties with her in the process.

This pattern persisted for four days. Shen Fei's knowledge of cultivation and various auxiliary fields grew rapidly, and he was close to completing his study of the entire library. However, as his reading speed and dedication increased, the elder guarding the library grew increasingly suspicious. Shen Fei was no longer displaying the reckless, indulgent behavior of a prodigal and lustful young master.

The elder, Shen Ti, was one of the three Black Gold-ranked members of the family and privy to many of its secrets. He knew of the Sacred Family's collusion with the Dark Guild and had even heard rumors of the Demon Lord and the infamous Spiritual Constellation Technique—a forbidden art that allowed its user to take over another's body. Shen Ti began to suspect that Shen Fei's sudden transformation might be a result of such a technique, and he decided it was necessary to inform the patriarch.

On the fifth day, Shen Fei arrived at the library as usual. There were only a few shelves left for him to read, and he resolved to finish them all that day. Unbeknownst to him, Shen Ti had already left to report his suspicions to Patriarch Shen Hong, who was meditating in seclusion.

Inside a hidden chamber, Shen Hong sat cross-legged on a mat, his body surrounded by a swirling mixture of black-gold and fiery-red auras. He chanted the mantra of his cultivation technique, fully immersed in his practice. Suddenly, a loud and urgent knock shattered his concentration.

Knock. Knock.

Shen Hong's eyes snapped open, blazing with fury. A line of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth—an injury caused by the abrupt interruption. Wiping the blood away, he stood and opened the chamber door, his expression thunderous.

Outside stood Shen Ti, who immediately bowed, though his face betrayed urgency.

Shen Hong wasted no time. He appeared before Shen Ti in an instant, gripping the elder by the neck and lifting him off the ground. "Elder Shen Ti, you'd better have a good reason for disturbing me during my cultivation," Shen Hong growled, his voice filled with killing intent. "Otherwise, I'll kill you where you stand. You were supposed to be guarding the library!"

"It's the young master, Shen Fei," Shen Ti managed to choke out, struggling against Shen Hong's iron grip.

Hearing this, Shen Hong released him, letting him drop to the ground. His expression darkened further. "What happened to that bastard? Did he cause trouble again, or has someone finally beaten him to death?"

Shen Ti took a moment to catch his breath before recounting Shen Fei's recent behavior. He explained in detail how Shen Fei had been reading at an extraordinary speed, his personality markedly different from before. Shen Ti also shared his suspicion that Shen Fei's body might have been taken by the influence of the Spiritual Constellation Technique.

Shen Hong's face grew serious as he paced back and forth, processing the information. After a moment, he stopped and said decisively, "Let's go."

The two made their way to the library. Upon arriving, they hid themselves and observed Shen Fei in secret. Shen Hong's sharp eyes followed his son's movements as he read book after book, completing five to six volumes in a single minute. The focus and intensity on Shen Fei's face were undeniable.

After observing for a while, Shen Hong motioned for Shen Ti to follow him out of the library. Once outside, Shen Ti hesitantly asked, "What do you think, Patriarch?"

"His behavior is indeed different," Shen Hong replied thoughtfully. "And I can sense that he is genuinely reading, even at that incredible speed. But I didn't detect any symptoms of the Spiritual Constellation Technique."

After a moment of silence, he continued, "To be certain, I will invite Ye Mo to examine him. Though the Snow Wind Family is our enemy, this is my son we're talking about. I need to ensure his safety."

He turned to Shen Ti with a commanding gaze. "Keep a close watch on Shen Fei. I will return with Lord Ye Mo."

Without another word, Shen Hong vanished in a blur, moving with the swiftness of the wind.

Shen Ti, now alone, returned to the library to continue observing Shen Fei, his mind still grappling with the strange and unprecedented behavior of the young master.
