29: Chapter 29 The Blood Moon Descends

"Ugh..."

It was Su Ya.

Xia Wanqiu turned her head to look, her pupils abruptly contracting.

Su Ya, who had been perfectly fine just moments ago, was now curled up in agony on the floor.

Her hands clawed desperately at her own chest, nails leaving bloody trails across her pale skin.

Even more terrifying was her physical state.

Bathed in the crimson light of the blood moon, that wisp of Succubus Bloodline within Su Ya, originating from the abyss, seemed to encounter an absolute summons, plunging into a state of frenzied resonance.

As a noble Succubus Bloodline, they were the favored children of the abyss.

On ordinary days, this trace of bloodline bestowed upon them extraordinary beauty and talent.

But now, with the descent of the blood moon and the soaring concentration of abyssal magic, this thin bloodline was utterly incapable of bearing the massive, frenzied influx of external energy.

Su Ya bore the brunt of it.

Because in the previous botanical garden, in order to maintain that feeble flame, she had nearly exhausted all her magic power, leaving her body in its most depleted and vulnerable state.

At this moment, the frenzied abyssal magic poured into her parched meridians like a breached flood.

"So hot... save me..."

Su Ya struggled to utter a few words, her voice completely altered, hoarse yet carrying a maddeningly seductive quality.

Her already tattered black tank top spontaneously combusted, sparks flickering at its edges.

Her once jade-white skin now appeared a startling crimson, as if boiled.

Scalding sweat poured from her forehead and neck like raindrops, instantly drenching her entire body.

The pair of crystal-clear, ice-blue horns atop her head now glowed a frightening, blood-red hue, radiating terrifying heat.

Her slender demon tail thrashed wildly in the air, striking the metal floor with sharp, cracking sounds.

"Senior Su Ya!"

Xia Wanqiu cried out in alarm, instinctively moving to help her up.

But the moment Xia Wanqiu's hand touched Su Ya's shoulder—

"Hiss—!"

A terrifying burning sensation instantly shot through Xia Wanqiu's palm. She cried out in pain, snatching her hand back, her tender palm already blistered from the heat.

It was too hot.

Su Ya's body temperature at this moment far exceeded the limit a human could endure and was still climbing.

Her B-Rank Flame Talent, under the dual stimulation of the blood moon and abyssal magic, had spiraled completely out of control.

If not stopped, her shallow, unranked magic pool would be violently ruptured by this frenzied fire. The final outcome would be her entire body turning to ashes, and even this armored train car might be detonated by her uncontrolled flames.

"Train Master! Save Senior Su Ya! She's burning up!" Xia Wanqiu, ignoring the blister on her hand, shouted towards the tightly shut metal door of the Train Master's compartment, her voice choked with tears.

"Clang."

The heavy metal door swung open in response.

Lin Feng strode out, his profound black eyes appearing exceptionally cold under the crimson light.

He took one glance at Su Ya on the floor.

The system interface flickered with glaring red warnings at the edge of his retina.

[Warning: Your core crew member (Su Ya) is suffering backlash from Blood Moon Resonance.]

[Status: Bloodline Rampage, Talent Out of Control. Estimated time until bodily explosion: Three minutes.]

[Sole Solution: Utilize Train Master privileges to perform a 'Deep Link.' Forcibly infuse her magic pool with high-tier, pure Yang life energy to neutralize and channel the frenzied fire magic.]

"Step back."

Lin Feng coldly uttered two words.

Xia Wanqiu and Tong Tong, who was hiding under the bench, scrambled back to the edge of the car, watching in terror as Su Ya burned like a furnace.

Without hesitation, Lin Feng walked straight towards the Empress of Fire on the floor.

By now, Su Ya's rationality teetered on the brink of collapse.

Agony and the primal craving brought by her abyssal bloodline tore her in two.

"Don't... don't come closer..."

Seeing Lin Feng approach, the last shred of her scholarly pride made Su Ya instinctively resist.

She bit her lower lip fiercely, even drawing blood.

She knew how wretched her current state was, and she knew what would happen once Lin Feng touched her.

"I'll... burn you..." she gasped heavily, her full chest heaving violently. The tank top finally disintegrated into ashes under the intense heat, exposing large swathes of startlingly pale skin interwoven with crimson to the scarlet-tinged air.

She struggled like a beached fish, caught between despair and desire.

"Silence."

Lin Feng's tone held not a shred of tenderness.

He extended his hands. A-Rank frost magic power surged within his palms. A thick layer of frost armor covered his hands and forearms, resisting the heat intense enough to melt steel.

Lin Feng wrapped one arm around Su Ya's slender waist—so slim it seemed he could encircle it—and slid his other arm beneath her knees. With an absolutely domineering, irrefutable posture, he lifted this scorching-hot, wantonly displayed beauty into a horizontal carry.

"Ah..."

The instant Lin Feng's bone-chillingly cold arm made contact with Su Ya's skin—

The collision of ice and fire.

Su Ya let out a shrill, yet melodious moan.

This pure, frigid life energy was, for her who was nearly burned dry by flames, both a deadly poison and the only antidote.

Her body instantly went limp. Her previously resisting hands uncontrollably wrapped around Lin Feng's neck.

Her sweat-drenched, blood-red face pressed desperately against Lin Feng's icy chest, greedily absorbing the faint coolness.

"Give it to me... please..."

The last thread of her rationality, faced with the primal instinct for survival, snapped completely.

Su Ya's once pure and icy eyes were utterly replaced by pink-hued lust and a ravenous hunger for energy.

Like a frenzied she-panther, she mindlessly nipped and rubbed against Lin Feng's neck, seeking the entry point to receive the life energy infusion.

Her scalding demon tail coiled tightly around Lin Feng's thigh with such force it seemed intent on fusing the two of them into one.

Carrying this potential 'bomb' that could explode at any moment, Lin Feng strode expressionlessly back towards the Train Master's private quarters.

"Bang!"

The metal door slammed shut behind him, activating the locking mechanism.

It completely sealed off the crimson light from outside and the two pairs of shocked eyes.

The space inside the quarters was already cramped. Now, the intense heat radiating from Su Ya instantly turned the entire room into a massive steamer.

The air was thick with an intoxicatingly sweet succubus fragrance, mixed with the lethal hormones released by sweat.

Lin Feng unceremoniously tossed Su Ya onto the wide bed covered with animal pelts.

The moment she touched the bed, Su Ya writhed like a water snake. She had completely lost self-awareness, left with only a frenzied craving for energy.

"Hot... so hot..."

She displayed her perfect curves without restraint, her legs rubbing restlessly against the coarse pelts, her hands clawing futilely at the air.
