Lust, like Vengeance, Demands Red 136 Violence is Free.

She could barely look around as her eyes hurt from the sudden brightness.

"Why did it suddenly lit up?" She asked frowning.

(This bedroom, I think it studies the need of its owner and adapts. It judged you rested enough so it woke you up.)

"How can it do that?"

( I'm not it's original owner, It's been passed down since long ago. Nobody could measure its mysteries.)

"Even if it judged I rested enough, why wake me up?" Zhi Rui said exasperatedly.

( It condemns lazy acts.)

Zhi Rui scoffed.
"I'll just sleep in another place then."

(You've been out cold for three whole days. It must be afternoon outside.)

At first, it surprised her, but then Zhi Rui smiled

'if the evolution affected me that much, Then my body must've changed that much."

Sending her energy circling inside herself, she felt the explosive power her muscles had, her skin changed for a whiter tone, it was smooth and clean, her hair was a bright golden yellow. Her green eyes shone brightly. She was beautiful enough already, but now she could easily seduce demons and gods.

Finished probing her insides Zhi Rui looked around the room.
She couldn't feel anything from outside, the place was isolated from everything.

"Third level spells." She stated.

Nothing happened. "Old man, you said the books would come to me?"

(The barbarians specialize in body cultivation and discipline, and things that can be worked and grow with. spells were bought from third parties and considered a disposable tool to be used strategically, my people were raised to not need them. )

Zhi Rui frowned, her wondering eye laid on her beaten up Warhammer.

"Production of heavy weapons."

Wheezing noises came through the corners of the library as it came closer it got louder.

More than twenty books stood in front of her.

"Manufacturing of The Cloud elephant scimitar."

"Manipulation of heavy minerals"

"Morning star encyclopedia"

Zhi Rui's eyes darted around. The titles ranged from manufacturing to martial arts, general knowledge, and specific named weapons. There were even books in another language that she didn't understand.

"Can I take these things out?" Zhi Rui said.

(It's yours, you can do what you want. But it' not recommended. This library used to be of the size of a country. Now, this is what remains. All because of oversharing.)

for a second she felt her blood bubbling.

Zhi Rui closed her eyes and calmed her nerves. A treasure of old times just landed in her hands, with it she can grow to be unbeatable. She just needs time. Soon the images of Bianca, Loura and the sect of light. Crossed her mind.

Then her joy of obtaining such treasure disappeared as and rage replaced its place.

She laughed.
'Either I grow with it, or I die with it."

She relaxed her body and mind and asked out loud.
"Have you thought of a suitable method for me?"

(yes.)

"She's really the one chosen to lead us! Who would've thought?"

"Right? It' so ironic, someone who was born out of interracial marriage is actually the one with the purest bloodline!"

Hilda passed by wearing common cheap leather armor, hearing the comments she kept on her way. Wherever she walked, the people were talking about Zhi Rui, and how she would change everything for them.

Hilda finally reached to point near in the front. he looked on ahead.

Zhi Rui's now bright golden hair shined in the sunlight.
Sweat dripped down from her head into the sand. She was standing with eyes closed.

"How long has she been like this?" Hilda asked without taking her eyes off Zhi Rui.

"A day. Can you believe it? first, she spends three days of resting because of the fight, and the first thing she does after waking up is training. If people had doubts before, they can't shut up now."

"Yes, wow. No doubts about that!"

Her question set off a torrent off confirmation of acceptance of Zhi Rui. One pulled another and they talked about how strong and good she was.

Hilda knew they needed to convince themselves that it was because of their acceptance that Zhi Rui stood there. And not their weakness.

Zhi Rui's eye opened and she met eye with Hilda.

She smiled and beckoned to Hilda, she turned and walked back towards the library manor.

Standing at the top floor of the library; Hilda's eyes alternated from Zhi Rui to the bedroom that nobody has ever stepped a foot in.

"D-Did you managed to enter it?" she was nervously shaking and managed to stammer on her word, amusing Zhi Rui,

Zhi Rui smiled. "Yes. come with me."

She entered, Hilda watched on as Zhi Rui turned back and beckoned with her hand.

]slowly, Hilda stepped forward, she did it two more times and looked stiffly at Zhi Rui.

Zhi Rui had to grab her by the shoulders and turn her around.

Hilda stiffened, even for someone like herself who never really saw much of the cultivation world. She knew the place was a treasure trove.

Zhi Rui suddenly swat down and her buttcheek

"Yeeek!" Hilda jumped with a hand on her ass.

Zhi Rui laughed. "You were too stiff." She walked out to the side, to a golden white bathtub, took off her skimpy training clothes and lay down inside.

The tap opened and it slowly filled

Hilda saw with wonder as the things worked by themselves.

"It's big enough for two, come in." gently scrubbing her skin Zhi Rui poke with a smile.

Hilda gave another look around, from the moment she entered the place, the heat of the desert disappeared the discomfort for using tight black tight clothes on the weather disappeared.

Zhi Rui' water seemed just cool enough to clear all the fatigue from the day and nights before.

She took her first layer of clothing off while Zhi Rui scrutinized all of her movements, her eyes never hesitate to eat her alive.

Hilda maintained eyes contact even while taking off her cloth that held her chest in place. the feeling of liberation after long days in the desert was a wonder.

Seeing the toned almost brown fit body with a light bush between the legs and hearing Hilda sigh of relief. Forced Zhi Rui to lick her lip in desire.

Her eyes were those of a drunk person. She was waiting to jump on her precious kitty. But Zhi Rui closed her eyes and leaned back on the tub. She needed to relay her orders first.

The sound of feet dipping in the water entered her ears, she did everything to not open her eyes. but then she felt Hilda leaning in.

A taste she loved suddenly assaulted her mouth. Hilda's lips touched with hers and her wet tongue gently explored Zhi Rui's mouth. ever so gently like an infatuated couple discovering each other.

Hilda stopped and smiled at Zhi Rui, she leaned her own body on top of Zhi Rui's her hands rested on Zhi Rui's tight and she relaxed and closed her eyes.

Stunned in silence for a few seconds, Zhi Rui chuckled and caressed Hilda's neck and shoulders with her fingers.

"Humm" Hilda purred.

"I ended up not needing to use your skill." Zhi Rui said.

Hilda nodded "I thought you were going to die. I entered the library using my skill and saw a woman way stronger than me, putting her hand in your forehead. I used all my energy to go away since she hadn't seen me.

Zhi Rui widened her eyes in surprise and smiled

"Too bad for you, If I had died you'd be chopping some barbarian heads. To celebrate your freedom."

Hilda's shook her head while leaning on Zhi Rui.
Her voice was weak as she was almost falling asleep.
"If you had died then, I think I'd be wandering around thinking of what to do. Following orders is easy, no need to think. In a way, slavery is liberating."

Zhi Rui stopped.
Her body evolved and with it, her consciousness and inner energy. Her supernatural senses and passive abilities also evolved. Zhi Rui didn't need to focus to know what somebody was feeling.

Hilda sincerely spoke her mind, confusing Zhi Rui.

She processed again and again, but the words 'slavery is, in a way liberating.' didn't make sense on her mind. In all the years she spends on that tower, not once she felt that kind of feeling.

She put the thought to the back of her head and leaned down lightly caressing Hilda' ear with her lips.

The tip of her fingers lightly trailing on Hilda's soft skin.

"For a mercenary assassin, you're pretty soft."

At once Hilda's body turned and her muscles became all visible. the nit relived. "I had to learn some tricks, turning form ready to relaxed in a moment is a necessary skill for manipulation."

Zhi Rui's eyes softened and she was relaxed. their calm conversation somehow made her calm.

"Did you meant to relax me?" Zhi Rui asked

Hilda nodded. "You're my tyrant, a tyrant in a foul mood will distribute violence."

Zhi Rui chuckled amused, she kissed Hilda' top of the head and messed her hair.

Embracing Hilda from behind she rested her chin on the assassin's shoulder and touched cheek to cheek, She giggled snuggling up

Her eyes widened and the green became a light glowing red.

"You know, I won an amount of treasure that nobody in this corner of the continent could ever hope to see. Even the light sect of this place would go nuts and do anything for it. I got rid of my enemy's control by my transformation. I evolved and can safely go on with my plans. With no more issues, all that's left is to grow strong..." She spoke calmly.

Hilda was holding onto Zhi Rui's embracing arms. She could few the indignation building up as the words left her mouth even though they were all achievements.

Her tone of voice went eerily lower.

"But I cannot take any pleasure in it. I was wrong in my early assumptions and was played like a fool. In the end, I had to resort to desperate means to survive, and by luck, I got this treasure. I got what I wanted, completely. Yet I despise it."

Her tone really vicious

"I despise this treasure, I scorn the people that I now have control over, and I disdain that I accomplished my goals. If I didn't need it I would've destroyed this treasure dimension whole..."

Zhi Rui looked at Hilda. "Contact Zheng Li, tell him to prevent any contact with the empire. Birds, soldiers or civilians, kill any and every one of them. Then you'll go to the jungle, call Zhun Xuying, Izaya, and the fighting couple. We'll storm their army and kill the general."

Hilda felt the chill in her spine. she looked at the red eyes and clamped her legs together.

With glowing red eyes, Zhi Rui smiled and slid her hands from Hilda's chest until her underbelly.

"Is kitty wet?"She whispered.

Hilda looked at Zhi Rui's eyes and slowly nodded her clamped legs relaxed and opened as Zhi Rui's hand slid all the way down, and started to move her fingers in circles.

The touch sent a thrilling shock all the way up and Hilda jerked with a cute moan

Zhi Rui's drunken glowing eyes half closed and she smiled.

"Good kitty."
