87: Chapter 87 Su Mei Plays with Fire and Gets Burned, Trapped in a Fiery Maze

Just as Su Mei leaned down, her pink charm spiritual light at its peak, her mind completely immersed in the pleasure of her impending success and greed for the "Treasure Trove" within Xu Ruyu's body, the "Heart-fire Trigger" quietly laid by Xu Ruyu was silently and fully activated.

There was no resistance, no struggle, not even the slightest sense of abnormality.

In Su Mei's perception, everything was logical and proceeded naturally.

She "saw" Xu Ruyu beneath her, his eyes completely consumed by lust and intoxication; that last bit of pitiful clarity had vanished, leaving only a desire to surrender to her completely.

He "proactively" met her movements, his breath burning hot as he uttered blurred and urgent murmurs. Those hands that had been somewhat evasive were now "greedily" wandering over her body. Though slightly clumsy, it only further stimulated her pleasure of conquest.

"Heh... Junior Brother, that's it... relax, leave everything to Senior Sister..."

Su Mei laughed coquettishly within the illusion, her voice sweeter and more cloying than honey.

She felt her charm spiritual power drive straight in, easily probing into Xu Ruyu's defenseless Meridians, touching that pure and thick Taixu True Qi, as well as the heart-palpitating warm current deeper within.

That touch of majestic and pure power made her Soul tremble with excitement.

Within the illusion, every detail was lifelike.

She "felt" Xu Ruyu's body trembling slightly and heard his out-of-control gasps. She skillfully operated her Harvesting Secret Method, drawing out that pure power and merging it into herself.

The process was "smooth" beyond imagination. Xu Ruyu was like a piece of defenseless fertile soil, letting her take whatever she wanted.

Power flowed continuously into her Dantian, washing through her Meridians. Her cultivation Bottleneck showed signs of loosening, and a sense of fulfillment spread throughout her body. Combined with the satisfaction of complete mental control, she felt ethereal and utterly intoxicated.

She "saw" Xu Ruyu's eyes gradually lose focus and his face flush under her harvesting—an outward sign of a massive intake of essence.

This sight, far from evoking any pity, only made her more excited.

Her dress had long since been messily shed, her graceful body fully revealed under the hazy spiritual light and the cover of the gauze curtains.

Meanwhile, in reality, beside the Jade Couch in the main hall—

Xu Ruyu had already quietly retreated several steps, standing at a relatively safe distance. His expression was normal, and his eyes were as clear and calm as still water. Only a layer of fine sweat on his forehead proved that setting the array and maintaining his mental resistance had not been without cost.

Before him, Su Mei was alone, performing an incredibly erotic and seductive "one-woman show" to the empty air.

She was indeed undressing; her rosy-cloud-colored long dress had been pulled loose by her own hands, leaving her fragrant shoulders half-exposed and her delicate collarbones visible.

Even with Xu Ruyu's firm resolve and prior expectations, witnessing such a vivid and sensual scene—especially with the subject being a peerless beauty like Su Mei, known for her natural charm—he couldn't help but feel his Qi and blood surging and his throat go dry.

Su Mei's figure was indeed top-tier, perfectly proportioned. Her skin glowed like white jade under the spiritual light, shimmering enticingly with her movements. Every curve seemed to define the ultimate temptation.

Coupled with her natural coquettishness, now being "performed" without reservation, the impact was enough to make any normal man's Bloodline boil and his reason snap.

Xu Ruyu's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He quickly looked away, took a few deep breaths, and circulated his Taixu True Qi to forcibly suppress the heat rising in his heart.

"What a powerful Charm Technique. Even in an unconscious self-directed performance, she can emit such staggering allure..."

He was secretly alarmed and became even more vigilant.

The Cultivation Techniques of the Hehuan Sect truly had their unique and terrifying aspects.

"Don't look, don't think."

Xu Ruyu chanted inwardly, focusing his attention on observing the operation of the Illusion Array and Su Mei's state.

He could feel that Su Mei's own desires were being constantly amplified under the guidance of the Illusion Array, making the illusion increasingly realistic and stable, and her immersion deeper.

It was a vicious cycle: the stronger the Heart-fire, the truer the illusion, and the harder it was for her to extricate herself.

Time passed bit by bit.

Xu Ruyu waited patiently until he confirmed that Su Mei was completely immersed in the illusion constructed by her own desires and would not wake up anytime soon. Once he was sure the "fuel" of the Illusion Array (her own Heart-fire) was sufficient to maintain it for a while, he finally felt at ease.

Casting one last glance at Su Mei, who was still "gracefully yielding to pleasure" on the couch, the corners of Xu Ruyu's mouth curled slightly.

He felt no lingering attachment, nor did he take the opportunity to do anything extra.

Quickly tidying his slightly messy collar and wiping the sweat from his forehead, he noiselessly exited the main hall, passed through the fragrance-filled courtyard, and left Meixiang Court like a ghost.

From beginning to end, he didn't alert anyone.

About an hour later.

Inside the main hall of Meixiang Court, the illusory ripples birthed by the Heart-fire finally slowly dissipated as her own desires finished their "venting."

"Mm..."

A lazy and satisfied moan sounded from the Jade Couch.

Su Mei slowly opened her eyes, her gaze shimmering with moisture. There was still a heavy lingering lust and a hollow sense of pleasure from her "progressed" cultivation.

Habitually, she reached out her hand, wanting to stroke the cheek of the "person" beside her, but she felt only empty air.
