Stomping her foot and gritting her teeth, she bitterly cursed in her heart, "Damn Ancient Ice Dragon divine beast bloodline, you've truly ruined me."
...
A man and a woman, standing in a most awkward silence, remained frozen for a long time without a word.
Finally, Bing Menglu broke the silence. "Old friends meeting, won't you invite me into your cave dwelling for a rest?"
Hearing this, Wu Tao looked at Bing Menglu with a peculiar expression. For some reason, his wariness towards her had significantly diminished.
...
During their journey, both Bing Menglu and Wu Tao were lost in their thoughts, flying their artifacts with absent minds.
Upon returning to the cave dwelling, both the owner, Wu Tao, and Bing Menglu felt a sense of restraint.
Wu Tao picked up the teapot and brewed a pot of spirit tea, offering it to Bing Menglu.
Following that, Wu Tao and Bing Menglu began to chat.
Although Wu Tao wasn't adept at charming women, he had traveled extensively. This made him knowledgeable and experienced.
This provided them with a great many topics to discuss.
In matters of romance, when the man dares to speak and the woman enjoys listening, the foundation for success is laid.
As the saying goes, pursuing a woman is like climbing a mountain, while a woman pursuing a man is like piercing paper. Is this not precisely the case?
As they talked, the atmosphere between the man and woman grew increasingly pleasant, and Wu Tao's vigilance almost completely vanished.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Bing Menglu activated her family's secret technique, drawing out all the desire energy from her body, forming a pink sphere the size of a fist.
Bing Menglu parted her red lips and asked, "Brother Wu, with your vast knowledge, do you know what this sphere is for?"
Hearing this, Wu Tao couldn't help but lean closer to Bing Menglu.
After observing it closely for a while, he finally couldn't resist. He took the soft, pink sphere from Bing Menglu's hand and gently poked it with his finger.
But at that moment, with a 'pop,' the pink sphere inexplicably burst open on its own.
A large cloud of pink mist immediately enveloped both Wu Tao and Bing Menglu.
...
Due to various reasons, fifteen hundred characters have been omitted.
Wu Tao felt as though he had experienced a remarkably sensual dream.
In his dream, he had been intimately entwined with a woman of exquisite figure and peerless beauty for a very long time.
As a virgin of over thirty years, he tasted the delights of a woman's body for the first time. The woman, however, was not satisfied, clinging to him and asking for more again and again.
But no matter how wonderful a dream, there comes a moment of awakening. Wu Tao, unsure of how much time had passed, finally awoke from his slumber.
However, the moment he opened his eyes, he saw a face of breathtaking beauty and a pair of indifferent, pale blue eyes.
Then, Wu Tao looked further down. His gaze fell upon her disheveled dark hair, slightly torn red lips, and her slender, fair body covered in love bites, along with a few streaks of bloody scratches.
On the bedsheet, the glaring crimson stain, and the torn fragments of clothing scattered on the bed and floor.
This made Wu Tao's heart sink like a stone.
Overwhelmed with shame, Wu Tao lowered his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Bing, I apologize. I only considered you a normal friend, and I never imagined I would commit such an act, worse than that of a beast."
"I... I... I... I deserve to die..."
"Put on your clothes first. What does this state look like!" Bing Menglu said calmly, her words devoid of any emotion.
This made Wu Tao, while relieved, feel a chill creep up his spine.
Speaking of chill, Wu Tao realized he was completely naked. The beauty opposite him was similarly so.
Bing Menglu took a red dress from her storage bag and put it on in front of Wu Tao. Soon, she was fully dressed.
At this point, she turned back to look at Wu Tao and was momentarily stunned.
Because Wu Tao had already put on his clothes at the fastest speed.
Looking at Wu Tao, who had taken her first night, Bing Menglu felt a strange sensation arise in her heart.
This feeling was not a primal urge from her bloodline but a genuine emotion.
"What exactly was that pink sphere? How could it cause us both to lose control like that..."
As a man, Wu Tao spoke first, but he couldn't finish his sentence. However, he believed that with Bing Menglu's intelligence, she would understand his meaning.
"You mean that pink sphere? That is the latent desire energy within my bloodline."
"This pink sphere immediately explodes upon contact with any male."
As Bing Menglu spoke, a blush spread across her fair, jade-like face as she recalled how she had actively set a trap for Wu Tao to fall into.
...
"So that's how it is. No wonder."
Upon hearing this, Wu Tao outwardly feigned understanding, but inwardly, he cursed himself.
'How did I become such a lustful scumbag, wanting more when I already have enough?'
Facing Wu Tao, who awkwardly touched his nose, clearly unwilling to take responsibility, Bing Menglu's heart felt as though countless needles were piercing it, causing unbearable pain.
But she couldn't show it on her face.
She didn't understand what was happening to her.
She had clearly only intended to use Wu Tao as a tool, so why did her heart ache so much?
This proud woman would never understand a simple truth:
"The one who understands you best is never yourself."
...
Bing Menglu took a deep breath, gritting her teeth, and said, "Fellow Daoist Wu, you don't need to blame yourself. It was my willing... my willing choice. Don't worry, I won't hold you responsible."
"What happened between us was merely a dream. Let's part ways on good terms!"
...
"I understand. Rest assured, I will keep this matter buried forever and never mention it to anyone."
Seeing Bing Menglu's decisive response, Wu Tao, who was single-mindedly aiming to be a scumbag, immediately replied.
Not only that, but he also completely shut down any room for further discussion that might have remained.
Although Wu Tao lacked experience in being a scumbag, his inherent masculine instinct for self-preservation allowed him to handle the situation masterfully.
"Hmph, it's good that you understand."
Seeing Wu Tao agree so quickly, Bing Menglu felt no joy. Instead, she grew more annoyed, her tone becoming increasingly displeased.
After these words, Wu Tao and Bing Menglu fell into an awkward silence, neither knowing what else to say, nor making any further moves.
Bing Menglu had spent her life in cultivation. Despite being over thirty, her understanding of romantic relationships was no different from that of an ordinary fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.
Therefore, even though Bing Menglu had deliberately orchestrated this event for her Ancient Ice Dragon bloodline, her heart was in turmoil afterward, unsure how to face Wu Tao.
Wu Tao was not much better. He had never imagined that the woman he shared his first intimate experience with would be Bing Menglu.
Given his already complicated relationship with Xu Sheng, Bing Menglu's involvement only made things more tangled.
However, regardless of anything else, Wu Tao noticed that Bing Menglu did not expect him to take responsibility. This, while a relief, also stirred a sense of guilt within him.
But it was only a fleeting guilt. If Bing Menglu had insisted on an explanation, Wu Tao would have packed his bags and fled immediately.
...
"My Bing family's bloodline is that of the Ancient Ice Dragon. Every woman in the Bing family experiences this. You don't need to think too much about it."
Bing Menglu said dismissively, acting as if nothing significant had happened.
"Is that so? That's good, that's good!" For some inexplicable reason, Wu Tao uttered these words, which were extremely hurtful.
This showed how desperate Wu Tao was to absolve himself of responsibility, saying anything that came to mind.
...
Bing Menglu's heart burned with anger upon hearing this.
Not only did he fail to comfort her, but he even went out of his way to say such things. Bing Menglu truly felt very wronged, as this was her first time too.
She glanced at Wu Tao again, confirming that his attitude towards her remained unshaken.
And she had actually shared such an intimate act with such a man. How could she, who had always been so proud, not regret it immensely?
However, if she were to kill this defenseless man at that moment to vent her anger, she seemed somewhat reluctant. After all, he was the man who had taken her virginity, and potentially the father of her future child.
This strange feeling left her in an unspeakable state of discomfort.
At this moment, a faint ache began in her lower abdomen, a tearing pain that spread throughout her body from bottom to top.
Bing Menglu gritted her teeth, forcing herself to remain calm. She did not want to show any weakness in front of this heartless man.
"What time is it? It feels like several days have passed," Wu Tao suddenly said, recalling something.
Hearing this, Bing Menglu's heart jolted.
They checked the time together and discovered that a full ten days had passed.
This meant that for ten whole days and nights, they had been engaged in that kind of... activity.
Wu Tao stood frozen, oblivious.
With every minute that passed, Bing Menglu's face grew paler, until her entire body trembled uncontrollably.
As the tearing sensation intensified, causing her such pain that she collapsed onto the ground with a thud.
The careless Wu Tao only noticed at this point that beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down her ashen face, and her whole body was trembling.
Wu Tao was greatly alarmed and quickly stepped forward to gently lift her onto the bed.
Then, Wu Tao, completely at a loss, frantically asked, "What's wrong? Why has your body suddenly become so weak?"
Tears welled up in Bing Menglu's eyes. It was then she realized she wasn't as strong or as cold-hearted as she thought.
