375: Chapter 375 Fairy, stop pretending! You're not like this in the illusion!

Cao Kun watched Yue Ningshuang, who was sitting slumped in the Void Realm and wailing, without immediately stepping forward to comfort her.

Instead, he stood with his arms crossed, ten steps away, calmly admiring the moment this half-step True Immortal was having a breakdown.

As a veteran Jade Beast Training Master, he understood the mind of this icy Fairy who had lived for tens of thousands of years all too well.

The cold aloofness of tens of thousands of years was severed from the tenderness of the few hundred years in the illusion.

If he didn't let Yue Ningshuang vent the grievances of those few hundred years, she would never truly be able to transition her identity.

Cao Kun wanted an obedient, intimate Jade Beast that could nourish his Origin.

Not an enemy who put on airs in bed every day and was ready to kill at the drop of a hat.

As time passed, the crying gradually grew quieter, turning into intermittent, pitiful sobs.

Yue Ningshuang hugged her knees, burying her face in her arms, her slender, rounded shoulders heaving.

From time to time, she would use the corner of her eye to peek through the gaps in her hair at the man standing not far away.

'Why hasn't this bastard come to coax me yet?'

'I've cried so miserably, can't he see that I'm aggrieved?'

'Does he dislike me now? Does he find me annoying?'

Yue Ningshuang's heart was in turmoil.

In the illusion, as long as she frowned even slightly, he would become extremely nervous, immediately rushing over to pull her into his arms and soothe her in every way.

Now that she was crying so sadly, he was actually just standing there watching the show?

Reason told her that the man in front of her was the enemy who had ruined her purity, a shameless lecher.

But her body and Soul had long since been marinated by those hundreds of years of memories.

Instinctively, she craved that broad, warm embrace.

She bit her red lips, cursing herself for being spineless, but her body very honestly and sneakily inched toward Cao Kun.

Just a tiny bit.

Afraid of being discovered by Cao Kun, she stopped stealthily and continued to bury her head and cry.

Cao Kun took in her every little movement, barely managing to hold back his laughter.

'Are Fairies of the Spirit Realm this cute when they act tsundere?'

Seeing that the time was right, Cao Kun finally walked over slowly.

He bent down, reached out his long arms, pulled Yue Ningshuang up from the ground by her slender waist, and forcibly pressed her into his arms.

That familiar chest and temperature perfectly overlapped with the embrace that had shielded her from the wind and rain countless times in the illusion.

But she still struggled symbolically, pushing against Cao Kun's chest with both hands and cursing stubbornly:

"Let me go! Just kill me!"

"I, the dignified Sect Master of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect, will never accept such humiliation from you!"

Cao Kun let her push him, his arms tightening instead, firmly imprisoning her in his embrace.

He leaned down slightly, whispering wickedly into Yue Ningshuang's crystal-clear earlobe:

"Are you really willing to die?"

Yue Ningshuang felt half of her body go numb from his touch, but she still turned her head away and snorted coldly:

"If you want to kill me, then do it. Stop with the hypocrisy!"

"Fine." Cao Kun nodded, his tone full of regret.

"Since Sect Master Yue is determined to die, then I will fulfill your wish. But before you die, there is one thing I must deal with."

Yue Ningshuang paused, asking subconsciously: "What thing?"

Cao Kun blew a puff of hot air, smiling wickedly.

"Since you are about to die, that undergarment you stitched for me stitch by stitch in the illusion..."

"I might as well just take it out and burn it."

"After all, since you're gone, keeping that thing is useless. Might as well let it be buried with you."

Upon hearing this, Yue Ningshuang's mind buzzed.

That undergarment was something she had stitched stitch by stitch to please Cao Kun in the illusion, and it contained her deepest feelings as a Mortal wife.

She panicked instantly, throwing all her blood feuds to the back of her mind, grabbing Cao Kun by the collar, and blurting out:

"You dare! You bastard! You aren't allowed to burn it! You promised me you would wear it for a lifetime!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Yue Ningshuang froze.

She realized she had exposed her truest thoughts, and her small face turned bright red.

She hurriedly looked away, stuttering to find an excuse:

"I... I just don't want my hard work to go to waste!"

"I stayed up for several nights to stitch that, what right do you have to just burn it!"

Cao Kun watched her trying to save face and couldn't help but laugh softly.

He really hadn't expected that the icy Fairy who had lived for tens of thousands of years would have such a contrasting side.

It was even more fun than those innocent young girls.

Cao Kun reached out and gently patted Yue Ningshuang's soft back, his eyes becoming gentle.

"How could your husband be willing to burn it? That is your heart's intent toward me, of course, I must wear it close to my body, and wear it for a lifetime."

"Don't cry anymore." Cao Kun raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb.

"If you cry more, you won't be pretty. Your eyes are already swollen. If you cry more, you won't be pretty, and your husband will feel heartbroken."

Yue Ningshuang had never heard such direct and mushy sweet talk.

In her tens of thousands of years of cultivation, everything had been treacherous, cold, and calculating.

Only beside this man was she a woman of flesh and blood, cherished and held at the tip of someone's heart.

Yue Ningshuang was both ashamed and annoyed; she opened her small mouth and bit down on Cao Kun's shoulder.

She didn't use any Qi, only the strength of her Physical Body to vent her emotions.

Mumbled, unclear words came from her mouth:

"You big bad egg... big liar... I hate you so much..."

Cao Kun exaggeratedly gasped, pretending to be in pain and grimacing:

"Hiss! Is Madam's anger gone? If not, you can bite somewhere else!"

Yue Ningshuang understood the subtext in his words, and her face turned even redder.

She let go, ignoring Cao Kun's nonsensical nonsense.

She leaned quietly against Cao Kun's broad chest.

Listening to his strong, steady heartbeat, feeling the scent on him that made her feel incredibly at ease.

Yue Ningshuang closed her eyes, wrapped her arms around Cao Kun's waist, and called out softly: "Husband..."

"In the future... you are not allowed to bully me again..."

"Otherwise... otherwise I will really never pay attention to you again, hmph~"

She had admitted defeat.

Defeated completely.

Whether it was the benefactor who took care of her in every way in the illusion.

Or the domineering, shameless lecher who forcibly possessed her in reality.

Her heart had already been completely carved with Cao Kun's name.

She felt like she really couldn't leave this man anymore.

[Ding! Target Yue Ningshuang recognizes reality, completely falls, and develops dependence on the Host!]

[taming value + 20]

[Current taming value: 50/100!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Stage Reward Silver Mystery Gift Pack x1!]

[Reward task points: 2000!]

[Current task point balance: 177400!]

Listening to the successive System notification sounds in his mind, Cao Kun raised his eyebrows triumphantly.

A double harvest of task points and a top-grade Jade Beast!

He looked at Yue Ningshuang, who had completely given up resistance and let him knead her as he pleased, his hands sliding restlessly down her slender waist.

"That's a good girl."

"As the saying goes, a hundred days of grace for one night as husband and wife."

"We were husband and wife for hundreds of years in the illusion, how much grace must that be?"

Speaking of this, Cao Kun paused deliberately, his tone becoming somewhat dangerous and expectant:

"Since you've admitted you can't leave your husband, shouldn't you fulfill your duties as a wife now?"

"Properly soothe your husband's frightened heart?"

Yue Ningshuang felt her whole body go soft from the touch.

She raised her small fists and tapped Cao Kun on the chest a few times.

Water light swirled in her purple eyes, charming by nature.

"Big pervert... I am already all yours, what else do you want..."

She pouted coquettishly, her tone full of charming and indulgent reluctance.

There was no longer any coldness or majesty of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect Sect Master.

Just a wife longing to be cherished.

Cao Kun felt the fire in his body shoot up instantly.

He stopped talking nonsense and directly picked Yue Ningshuang up horizontally.

"Since Madam is so obedient, Husband happens to have a gift for you."

Cao Kun looked into her blurred eyes and declared domineeringly,

"From now on, only I can enter your world."

"Mm~"

Yue Ningshuang buried her face in the crook of Cao Kun's neck and nodded shyly.

The third layer of the all-heavens and myriad-realms demon suppressing tower, the Mortal World mist rolled.
