Lust, like Vengeance, Demands Red 144 March

Izaya momentarily thought about taking his daughter and going away. But when Zhi Rui's eerie smile faced him, It dawned on his mind.

'She's stronger than me now.' A chill run down his spine.

He stayed and worked for his daughter but in case of any danger, he would immediately take his daughter away, even if it was from a place she liked. But he realized, he didn't have that option anymore.

Zhi Rui had no need for threats or hostages. She has pure brute strength now. His chest deflated with the thought of his fate being in her hands.

The couple didn't react much, they both were ready to die together if something too intolerable for them happened, so as long as Zhi Rui kept her word of giving what they wanted. They didn't mind.

Zhun Xuying Didn't bother to think about it, Zhi Rui had saved her from her own execution, fed her, taught her, used her, then told her about her own talent. Although all that has its own agenda. Zhun Xuying never had a place to go, the only place she had ever known was a small part of the slums and the square room where she was used for money. if he has nowhere else to go, besides choosing to follow the light sector Zhi Rui.

Her mind went to the first night Zhi Rui domineeringly threw her on the bed.

Suddenly lost in her thoughts Zhun Xuying blushed. Remembering the taste of Zhi Rui's hot skin, the salty sweat the friction, the scalding breaths.

A loud cough resounded through the room. Startling Zhun Xuying from her daze. She became absurdly aware. her hands were opened by her nose, it was the hand she used to caress through Zhi Rui's hair. And she knew the people around where acutely aware of that.

She froze like a statue.

"Haaa," Izaya sighed.

"He~" Not able to contain herself, Hilda teased.

"Throughout our years of escapades, I don't think I ever did something like that." Yu Yan said.

Bai Hui just laughed.

The siblings scrutinized her, curious of why she did that.

The rim of Zhun Xuying eyes became red and she opened her mouth as if to explain, seeing the teasings and smirks she just threw her face down against the mattress and stayed that way.

It was visible by her skin that her whole body was red with shame.

Steps resounded in the room. Zhi Rui stood up and sat down in the bed beside Zhun Xuying. Her hand caressing the woman's head, alleviating her shame. It was good that she became absorbed in her own world for a second, it alleviated the mood left after her words.

Feeling the air lighter Zhi Rui continued.

"First we take the lawless city. We have to do it swiftly after Hilda identify the snakeheads on the city, Izay and Hilda will receive a signal from the couple, that'll fire a skill high. Zhun Xuying stays out of the city on the most Likely locations of refugees, don't let any run towards the empire."

Izaya and the couple nodded.

Zhi Rui looked at Zhun Xuyin who was now laying her head to the side.
carrying her hair and putting it behind her ear, Zhi Rui looked at her, and the woman nodded with a smile.

When Zh Rui turned he attention back to the other, a mall cool sensation touched the tip of her index finger.

Zhun Xuying had licked it. Amused Zhi Rui left her hand there and gently inserted her index and middle finger through Zhun Xuying's parted lips.

Without moving her head or position, Zhun Xuying's eyes became lost in obsessive lust, and her tongue moved wildly over the fingers.

"Any doubts about your roles or anything useful to add?" Zhi Rui directed to the rest of the room. She felt like satiating Zhun Xuying's pent-up desires.

"Some people will be running around or trying to run from the conflict when we take over Lawless city, we should take them and bring them to war, they can be used as decoys, meat shields, cannon fodders, or any other thing we might want."

Bai Hui said standing up with his wife.

"Now that I think about it, Zheng Lie was more strange than I first thought he might act against us," Hilda said.

Zhi Rui nodded "I'll keep both things in mind."

Hilda traversed the wall to the other side, while the couple locked arms and walked out.

Izaya stood and pointed at the siblings with his chin, "They'll stay?"

Zhi Rui chuckled

"They're twenty-something years old virgins. it might seem like they're just curious but if given the chance they'd be worst than you and me."

Izaya sighed with exasperation and turned to walk away.

"They are mine, so I decide what's good for them, Izumy is your daughter, and is yours to raise. I'll only use her for the means that I said before; she'll control the community centers and public welfare. I won't mess with her, as that means losing you."

Izaya stopped in place, nodded and walked out.

Zhun Xuying turned face up on the bad and unabashedly locked from Zhi Rui's hand until her neck. she stopped and took a deep breath amidst the blonde hair.

"You're too thirsty, too hungry." Zhi Rui said.
Zhun Xuying nodded repeatedly. "'I am. I can't help but be!"

Smiling, Zhi Rui reached with her hand to the woman's nether-areas and put her in place. making fun Xuying shive uncontrollably.

The siblings didn't pretend they were sleeping anymore and looked directly.

Zhun Xuying would often look at them amidst lust and smiled. Zhi Rui smiled as every time she did that the woman got wetter somehow, and everything would start over. their fun lasted until the other day, throughout the whole time, Zhi Rui made a case of making Zhun Xuying let her guards down and ask for whatever she wanted to do with to Zhi Rui.

Zhi Rui regretted showing that scenes to the siblings. Now they would think those things were normal.

In the morning of the other day, Zhi Rui laid with Zhun Xuying snuggled up to her on the bed.

"Are you confident in defeating the general?" Zhun Xuying asked

Thinking of how much she danced around the subject until she finally asked her question made Zhi Rui smile

"He's already defeated, his army has no way to win again ours. Ther' only personal matters left. if I wait till I'm strong enough, he'll run away and do the same. But if I go after him like this; a level one him, he'll fight."

Zhi Rui said and suddenly remembered Bianca. For all this time the empire's army remained endangered, The crisis of food and hygiene in the front lines were now common knowledge, the supposed help from the palace never reached. Not a single noble allied with the general showed their face.

People were acting like the war on the frontlines didn't exist. No one talked about it anymore, for fear of angering the emperor.

She thought about the constant absence of the emperor's in the empire and how he only appeared when it was unavoidable.

Suddenly the puzzle made Sense. Zhi Rui froze, her face went pale. She clenched her teeth's tightly and let out a desolate chuckle.

'She owns the emperor. The empire is hers.' Zhi Rui concluded.
It all downed to her, and she smacked her own forehead punishing her own ignorance. 'Why wouldn't somebody at the sixth level takes the empire as its own?' Zhi Rui questioned. For a second the light sect emerged her mind, but she quickly disregarded the idea, as long as humans were seated on the throne, they couldn't care less.'

Suddenly a hand lightly going through her hair took her from her thoughts.

Zhi Rui turned to the side, only to see the mature woman being covered by the morning sunlight coming through the windows. she had a content smile.

the relaxation after the exercise had hit them both hard. Zhun Xuying brought Zhi Rui's face to her own, kissed her forehead gently and closed her eyes. "The siblings went away, and we'll only depart at noon. You can just relax and calm yourself until then."

"You know what the king did to the subordinate that could understand his feelings and intentions with a single exchange of glance? He cut his head off." Zhi Rui aid sternly.

Zhun Xuying smiled and soon fell asleep, ignoring Zhi Rui's words.

"You want to come along? there's hardly any sand in the empire, how can you fight?" Zhi Rui asked rain, with open arms a Zhun Xuying equipped the armor on Zhi Rui's torso."

"My ability is not made glass out of the sand. My core was taken from the cloud blue."

Zhi Ri widened her eyes. Cloud blue as the name say it a monster made of cloud that developed some kind of consciousness. It has an innate ability with lightning type energy.

'So, he was heating up the sand, not just mutating it...'

"Come along then." Zhi Rui nodded.

finished.
they walked out of the white manor. The sibling was standing at the door.

wearing her black leather armor and fur cap, Zhi Rui eyes her subordinates and the organized warriors behind them

Desert horse and trotted away,

"March ahead!" She commanded the siblings where one meter behind her.

Sandworm and blue amethyst followed the siblings and led the warriors;

Soon the only sound was heavy steps on sand.
