Lust, like Vengeance, Demands Red 154 Expose yourself to the enemy, built resistence.

But even more people admired in awe, people who obeyed the law of the strong was common, but people who revolted and won was fantasy, and they were mesmerized by the novelty of it. A beautiful woman fighting for herself and what's right.

"That's what's happening in the sect, for now." ZHun Xuying said.

They were both inside the sweet. Zhi Rui was sitting cross-legged on the bathtub filled with blood. Her skin was torn with thousands of cuts.

Zhun Xuying sighed, "Do you really need to train like this?"

"I do," Zhi Rui said. Trembling because of blood loss.

'Old man, why not continue with blunt damage training?'

(You're transforming your body so it grows resistant to both at the same time. Your skin will toughen up, followed by your muscles, Lastly your bones. After cuts and blunt damage, you'll temper yourself against the natural elements.)

"What has Xunhue been up to?" Zhi Rui asked.

"She's spreading good rumors about you."

"He, this girl. She's so clumsy. If I didn't already know she had ill intentions towards me right from the beginning then I'd start suspecting."

Zhun Xuying wanted to comment on Xunhue too, but she was weak against the sight of Zhi Rui's bleeding and letting her own body to heal itself.

"I"m leaving, I took a simple mission to do." Zhun Xuying said and turned her back but stopped at Zhi Rui's voice.

"Since you're going, pass by the entrance of the sect. See if my letter arrived."

Zhi Rui's token floated to Zhun Xuying's hand. She looked at Zhi Rui in wonder.

"Its name is sweet, you'll know it later." Zhi Rui said with a smile.

Zhun Xuying nodded and walked away.

After two hours, Zhi Rui's wounds healed completely, not even a scab remained in her skin.

(After you're finished with building basic physical resistance, you'll start tempering the mind. The less you burden the mind from now on the better.)

Zhi Rui grunted an agreement. The vision she saw when she lost consciousness for the first time after taking her mind off the body came to her mind, the old man, eagerly planning how he would build trust and mislead her into letting her guard down to be possessed.

Zhi Rui smirked 'First was demon Hu, and now this old man.. haha, these people from old times, just can't give up a chance of having a sweet young lady's body. Haha.'

After wearing the dark green disciplinary division robe, Zhi Rui smiled said goodbye to sweet and walked out. She closed the door of her cave, the one she dug when she received leadership of the disciplinary peak, she looked around. Through the time she was away, Xunhue made sure to build some dormitories and living quarters, making the place civil. Contrary to what Zhi Rui thought; Xunhue didn't recruit a lot of disciples to her side.

Zhi Rui walked slowly. it was early morning. the sunny weather on top of the disciplinary division caressed her skin pleasantly, nothing like the barbarian desert, but Zhi Rui somehow missed that place, the people there were more straightforward and casual with their desire, and here it was the opposite.

Remembering the nights of debauchery in the barbarian lands only made Zhi Rui sigh, thinking it'd be some time until she goes there again.

She went down the peak calmly. Focusing on the air hitting her skin, the pleasant touch calmed her nervousness, the next part of her plan required nerves. Her traumas from the past life could flare up in a second if she didn't manage herself.
She used a breathing technique to keep her body in a calm state. She walked through the more isolated parts of the sect. And finally, she stopped. Looked at the depilated cave in front of her, and smiled.

It was an isolated part of the sect unless you were going to visit this specific cave, you had no business there.

The tormentor of her previous life. The sect leader; Xun Fengyun.
She wanted to torture him eternally. She didn't want it to end like Cheng Feng, with an acidental death. Oh, no, She'd do anything to catch him alive.

She has enemies but they are all fruit of the natural struggle to be on top. it's rarely personal. But the resentment rooted on her mind towards the sect leader is so malicious and firm that if she'd had a soul, cultivation would be impossible because of heart demons. Even now, her lust, her pleasure was being disturbed with memories of him. She is extremely selective when sleeping with males, she had only laid with Sandworm and Izaya. They were both different from him in any way, but even so, they'd still triggered memories of her past.

"What do you want?" A deep, tired voice, deflated of any ego came from the cave.

Zhi Rui smiled, 'I'll do everything I need to get you alive old man.'

With confidence, She said.

"Ex- Sect leader Xun Fengyun, I, Zhi Rui am here to offer your authority back."

----

A familiar odor assaulted her nose. Zhi Rui sat on the sofa looking straight ahead.

But the vile visage together with the foul air accumulated inside, caught her by surprise, for a second she froze, she was all too familiar with this smell and horrible memories flashed pass her mind.

She looked to the side, on a bed, a young woman probably malnourished laid passed out, she had purple spots and biting marks throughout her body. All fluids that are released from the human body during sex was splattered around and left to dry away.

Xun Fengyun looked at Zhi Rui staring entranced at his bed, he himself was using a cloth to cover his waist, but otherwise, he was naked, she was part of the reason of why this was happening to him.

She entered the sect offending him and looked at him with a barely concealed scorn. She repeatedly humiliated him and gave chance for the tower maiden to spread her wings... But now she was there, looking at his beloved filth. Her eyes didn't show emotion but he knew very well how his haven could shock a mind of a woman like her.

He cackled

"That's my servant, She is part of a group of rescued from human traffickers, kidnapped from who knows where. these kind of people are 'saved' and kept on a facility of the light sect.
They're taught how to read, sew, fight, math, and some other abilities. Some that excel the others are sent to be nobles. Symbols of the light sect's generosity and ability to change fates.

But there is also the bottom in their ranks. They are judged as 'Questionable characters'. I took some of them for fun, they are mortals but if I hold back a little they last at least a weak without a broken mind. Can't harm their bodies too much though, I'm being watched, after all. I must've done this one at least ten times since the night before, even if I put a bowl of spring water in front of her, she wouldn't be able to stand and lick a drop.

He spoke casually and with subtle pride.

Zhi Rui's eyes turned back to him, not a hint of disgust or shock, only disdain was etched on her eyes.

"Well, it's understandable. Anyone, mortal or cultivator, that's free of despair would never lay with something like yourself willingly. The fact you need despairing mortals to get it up is nothing unexpected."

Xun Fengyun shuddered. Her mannerism, her expressions, everything was different from what he remembered of her, while she was impetuous, she was never like this.

The feeling of being mocked by a third level little girl tore his ego apart. The cave flooded with heavy pressure.

Zhi Rui smiled at him.

"Can a thing like you afford to kill me?" She said with disdain.

He raged inside his mind. Nothing was going his way, she didn't react the way he wanted, his sense of power was dwindling. His eyes grew red with madness. He turned to the side and screamed

"WAKE UP WHORE! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY CAVE AND SEE IF ANY MEN OUTSIDE WANTS A USED THING LIKE YOU!"

The woman on the bed opened her eyes immediately, and started to tremble fiercely, she could barely move, but she threw herself beside the bed and crawled for one hour The sect leader shoved the door open and she passed through and fainted naked in his front door. He smiled with pleasure a the scene with pleasure, and the door closed.

He laid relaxed on the sofa, with a smile. " little slut, now talk about your offer, or leave like the other one."

He looked attentively, but Zhi Rui didn't even twitch, he half expected her to get involved and try to save the woman, he'd have an excuse to beat her up then.

But nothing came out of her, only more scorn and despise.

He was going crazy

Zhi Rui opened her mouth "Since you finished your tantrum I'll state my business."

Zhi Rui cleaned her throat and spoke

"You're trash, there's no value for anyone to have you. Even you know that your future is grim, they'll transfer you to another place, but you're a shame and won't be allowed freedom. And if you show any signs of trouble you'll be disposed of. These days before another leader is decided will be your last luxury days. What I'm offering is a way to have your respect and status back."

"And what heavenly treasure you have up the loose ass that'll allow you to do that?" He asked through clenched teeth and a flushed face.

The ominous glint in his eyes enriched Zh Rui's satisfaction, for a thing like him, having no control over a weak prey is worse than losing his pair of legs.

Her smile grew thicker with mockery.

"Your wealth. Every little dime you accumulated through life, you'll invest them all in me. That's what I'll use."
