Dawn hadn't broken yet when she arrived.
Tao Lin—the famed Senior Sister of the Inner Sect, graceful and serene, her presence like spring breeze—stepped into Jade Cloud Hall, following a haunting unease deep in her soul.
What she saw shattered her world.
Thirty-two young female disciples lay sprawled like broken dolls. Their robes torn, bodies glistening with seed, lips parted in whimpers of aftershock. Their spirit roots were dim—some crippled, others hollowed.
And at the center stood him.
Ye Xuan.Once a frail, quiet outer disciple.Once saved by her hand when others called him trash.
Now, he stood shirtless, body marked by the aftermath of lust, his cock still hard and dripping.
He turned.
Their eyes met.
For a moment—time stopped.
"…Tao Lin," he murmured.
Her lips trembled. "Ye Xuan…?"
He pushed the unconscious girl off his lap like discarded cloth. Took a step forward. His silver-lit eyes glowed cold.

She drew her sword. Her hands trembled.
"This… this was you?!"
He smiled bitterly. "The sect made me this way."
He gestured at the ravaged girls. "They called me garbage. Threw me into the abyss. And you… you were the only light I ever saw."
"Then why…?" she gasped. "Why become a devil?"
"Because even light leaves when you fall into the dark."
He stepped closer.
The ground lit up. A new formation flared beneath her.
[Lustbound Soul Web – Active.][Target contained.]
She slashed down. Her sword struck an invisible wall.
"Let me out!" she shouted.
He looked into her eyes. His voice cracked.
"If you're going to leave me… at least let me touch you once."
She froze.
He reached out, fingers brushing her cheek. Trembling. Then they slid down her throat… to her collar.
She slapped him.
"You're not Ye Xuan anymore."
He already knew that.
He pushed her down—not roughly, but like someone saying farewell.
She tried to fight, but he pinned her arms above her head.
"You were my only hope."
"And now I'll destroy it."
He ripped her robes apart.
Her breasts tumbled free—pale and soft, trembling in the cold. She gasped, legs kicking, but the formation sapped her strength.
"Don't… don't do this!"
He kissed her.
Not like the others.
But like someone kissing the memory of what he once believed was love.
"I'm sorry," he whispered.
Then he lifted her skirt and pressed his cock to her virgin slit.
"No! Ye Xuan—please, stop!"
His eyes glimmered.
"…Then why didn't you ever look for me?"
He thrust inside.
Her scream tore through heaven.
Blood.
Tears.
Moans.
Her hips slammed against stone as he plunged deeper. Her cultivation flared—resisting—then shattered.
Her nails clawed his back. Her cries cracked between sobs and gasps.
"No… please… stop…"
But her body betrayed her.
Her pussy clenched. Her nipples rose. Her breath hitched.

Tears fell from her eyes.
He slowed. Rested his forehead against hers.
"If you hate me… then hate me. I'll become a demon for you."
She didn't speak.
Then she climaxed—screaming his name, her spirit root rupturing and reforming with his mark.
[New Skill: Twin-Heart Thread – Emotional and Spiritual Link Formed.][This bond cannot be severed.]
He pulled out and collapsed beside her.
She trembled, clutching torn robes to her chest, his seed dripping from between her thighs.
She sat up slowly. Faced him.
"…Do you hate me?" he asked softly.
She said nothing.
Then stood. Step by step, shaking—leaving a trail of blood, tears, and his essence.
He lay there, eyes hollow.
"I've defiled the only thing that ever gave me light."
No one answered.
