"Young Master, what are you saying? Since I've already been redeemed, I naturally belong to you now." Sharla lay in the covers, her head poking out, her bewitching eyes fixed on Evan Yang.
"Isn't this a bit too forward?" Evan Yang muttered inwardly, feeling odd. Even if she was bought by Patrick Li, no matter how willing she was, coming to a new place and meeting a stranger, she shouldn't act like this.
"Why aren't you saying anything, Young Master? Did I scare you?" Sharla was curious; this young master, who was always called lecherous by everyone, was so quiet today. No matter how many charm arts she used, he just wouldn't come over.
Evan Yang came back to his senses and smiled, "It's nothing, I'm just not used to you being like this. You should put your clothes on." He picked up the clothes from the floor and tossed them onto the bed.
The clothes landed right on her head, making her feel frustrated. She had just arrived and was already met with such coldness; it was nothing like what people said about him.
"You..." Sharla was stunned.
"What's your name?" Evan Yang asked.
The girl put on her clothes, but they still couldn't hide her devilish figure. If Evan Yang didn't have strong self-control, he would be in trouble right now.
"My name is Sharla," the girl replied.
"Sharla? How did you end up here?" Evan Yang asked curiously.
"Of course, the patriarch gifted you to me. What, am I not pretty enough for you?" Whether it was her natural love of beauty or something else, seeing Evan Yang's attitude, which contradicted what people said about him, she could only think of one possibility: she didn't suit his taste. So she asked with a bit of a pout.
Evan Yang smiled after seeing her misunderstanding. "Not at all. I just have my own preferences, so wherever you're from, you should go back there."
Sharla was stunned and glared, "What do you mean by that? I'm not getting returned, am I?"
"Returned?" Evan Yang almost burst out laughing. He just didn't like getting entangled with strangers, but didn't expect her to misunderstand.
"Isn't it? You're obviously returning me. How will my sisters see me? No way, no matter what, you have to let me serve you at least once today." Sharla said, but inwardly cursed, "Is this brat pretending to be clueless or what? No, I must capture him so I can report back and help the lord."
Evan Yang had no idea what Sharla was thinking. If he knew she had another purpose for sneaking in, he'd be shocked. But right now, he just wanted to send her away, so he said, "Whoever you are, it has nothing to do with your looks. I'm just not feeling well today, that's all."
"Not feeling well? Then I'll make you feel better." Sharla smiled, and in a flash, her ghostly figure appeared beside Evan Yang, moving incredibly fast, with a fragrant scent lingering around her.
Sharla reached out a hand, trying to touch Evan Yang's chest, but Evan dodged in a flash, disappearing from where he stood.
Sharla was shocked. "I didn't expect the Li Family's young master to be this fast."
"I didn't expect you to be this fast either." Evan Yang was curious. For someone at this level, she shouldn't be this quick. Though she was only at the Profound-Immortal realm, her speed was impressive. He also wondered why Patrick Li would trust her to stay by Gary Li's side—wasn't he worried she might kill him?
Sharla was really curious—when did Gary Li become so strong? In her eyes, he was just a pampered young master with poor talent. After so many years, he'd only reached the Heavenly-Immortal realm. Dealing with him should have been easy.
She had planned to use her ghostly arts to seduce Evan Yang, but he wasn't affected at all. So she tried to be forceful, only to find his speed was much faster than expected.
"Young Master Li, I'm not going to eat you. Why are you so worried?" Sharla said in a coquettish voice.
"I'm afraid you'll eat me up, bones and all. Tell me, what's your real purpose for coming here today?" Evan Yang was feeling more and more suspicious, starting to doubt the girl's intentions.
"Purpose? No real purpose. If I had one, it's just to serve you well." Sharla smiled.
"Stop pretending. You might fool others, but not me. If you really won't tell, I'll call the guards. Let's see how you get out of the Li Family then." Evan Yang smiled.
Sharla was shocked. "You really want to do this?"
"I may be lecherous, but I still have my limits." Evan Yang said this on purpose to cover up his real identity.
Sharla didn't expect to be so unlucky today, running into someone smart. But things were already like this; she had to go through with it and finish her mission, or else the lord would punish her, which would be even worse.
So her ghostly speed got even faster, but Evan Yang wasn't about to let her catch him easily. The two of them darted around the small room, flashing back and forth.
"If you're so tough, then don't move!" Sharla said.
"If I don't move, you'll eat me up. Besides, this is the Li Family, so you'd better watch your identity." Evan Yang replied.
Sharla laughed mischievously. "Identity? Try it and see—who can get close to this place?" "Oh? Did you do something to the outside?" Evan Yang asked curiously.
"Of course. I was worried our voices might be too loud and disturb the others, so I took precautions. But I didn't expect you to be so stubborn." Sharla smiled.
"So that's it. No wonder it's so quiet outside—I thought something was off. Turns out you already took measures." Evan Yang said.
"Good to know. So you should just stop and not struggle anymore." Sharla smiled.
"Really? I was born to resist—I don't like your style." Evan Yang replied.
"Well, I can't help it. When the time comes, you'll be floating in ecstasy." Sharla checked the time and smiled.
Evan Yang didn't understand, but suddenly his body heated up and a strong desire surged through him.
"Damn, no way." Evan Yang was shocked.
"That's right, I just scattered a bunch of Ecstasy Dust into the air. If a man inhales enough, his blood boils and he really wants to get close to a woman." Sharla smiled.
"You—" Evan Yang was shocked, quickly trying to force out the poison and using his Heaven-Cold Seed. But this toxin made his blood boil, and with his special bloodline, suppressing it wasn't easy.
In an instant, Evan Yang's face turned red and his limbs became sluggish.
"Damn, Heaven-Cold qi is suppressing the blood, but it's not clearing the toxin fast enough." Evan Yang realized the poison wasn't clearing quickly and was shocked.
At that moment, Sharla was already beside Evan Yang, touching him up and down. "Stop struggling, just enjoy it."
"Why are you doing this?" Evan Yang asked.
"No reason, I just want to be your happy companion." Sharla smiled.
Evan Yang stood still. "Companion? You could find someone excellent—why pick me, a lecherous guy?"
"That's right, I wanted to find someone excellent to give my first time to. But the lord gave orders, so I have no choice but to sacrifice myself." Sharla paused, her expression odd.
"What lord? You're still you. If you don't want to do it, you don't have to. Why bother?" Evan Yang encouraged her.
Sharla said, "The lord is powerful. You can't just escape."
Evan Yang continued, "If you don't try, how do you know?"
"How do you know I haven't tried?" Sharla sighed.
As Evan Yang tried to say more, Sharla snapped back, "You little devil, you just want to confuse me. Today, I'll sacrifice myself and let you have your way. Come on!"
With that, she grabbed Evan Yang and threw him onto the bed. Evan found he couldn't move any Immortal Essence, the poison was still in his body, and Heaven-Cold qi suppressed his blood just enough to keep him from changing further. But his body was still full of desire.
That desire was almost impossible for Evan Yang to suppress, especially as Sharla slowly took off her clothes, revealing her skin bit by bit.
"You—" Evan Yang was stunned.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of you." Sharla smiled, then pushed Evan Yang down and started undressing him.
Seeing Evan Yang's muscles and body, Sharla wasn't happy about it, but to complete her mission, she went through with it.
When Sharla's cold hands touched Evan Yang's hot, flushed skin, he felt a rush of pleasure. At that moment, he knew nothing could change unless he could get rid of the poison.
"What, still not giving up?" Sharla asked curiously, seeing Evan Yang unmoved.
"Not really." Evan Yang said, fighting the desire in his body.
"Don't hold back, come on—I can't wait any longer." Sharla said in a ghostly voice. She just wanted to finish the mission quickly, not spend more time with Evan Yang. After all, it was her first time, and she wished she could give it to someone she liked.
But this time, she had to carry out her mission, so she did it. And after it was done, she planned to kill the man in front of her.
With Sharla's repeated teasing, Evan Yang's body finally couldn't hold out—desire exploded, his eyes turned red, and his body flashed green and red, startling Sharla.
Sharla had never seen anything like this and was shocked. "What's going on with you?"
"Isn't this what you wanted? If you've decided, why hesitate?" Evan Yang was losing his reason, his mind focused only on being with the woman in front of him.
Sharla hesitated, seeing Evan Yang act so strangely, but his hands moved and his face came close, their lips met.
Sharla wondered to herself, "Is this really what I wanted?"
Evan Yang slowly entered Sharla's body. The two joined together on the bed. After a while, Evan Yang recovered, cleared the poison, looked at his body and what had happened, quickly dressed, and gazed at the woman on the bed with complicated feelings.
