Seeing the result, a triumphant smile was etched on Yue Mei's face. With graceful movements, she began to circle around El, her snake tail slowly wrapping around her body before wrapping tightly around her.
Yue Mei's face moved closer to El's, her warm breath almost touching El's lips, creating a thin gap filled with subtle tension.
However, El remained still, unresisting, like a puppet that had lost control of her body.
Actually, with Rinnegan, El could have broken Yue Mei's hypnosis in an instant by simply activating Rinnegan instinctively. However, El deliberately did not do so.
The reason was simple: because it was too troublesome and convoluted to have to find another way to reach the tribal residence of the Snake People Race, especially if it was with Xiao Yan.
Although he often benefited from traveling together, this time El decided to take her own path.
Moreover, if El was already within the Snake People tribe, he could wait for Xiao Yan there without having to go through the trouble of devising an elaborate infiltration plan.
Being a slave, especially a slave of one of Queen Medusa's trusted generals, could actually be a great advantage, paving the way for his to infiltrate deeper without arousing suspicion.
So, for now, El's goal was to hold on with all his might, even though he was aware that later his body might be ruffled by this snake woman.
In his mind, El still hoped that such a thing would not happen. However, El also knew that expectations often did not match reality.
Sharpening her nails, Yue Mei's fingers easily tore through El's clothes, exposing the firm, warm surface of her chest.
Without hesitation, her hands glided gently, following the muscle lines from his chest to his abdomen, feeling every detail hidden beneath his skin.
Yue Mei's smile grew brighter, her eyes sparkling like a girl who had just found a precious treasure.
The moment her fingers touched El, she immediately realized something, his heartbeat, pulse, and body temperature were very different from ordinary humans.
Even the rhythm of her breathing was unique, as if it merged with the flow of energy flowing in her body.
As a Sun Breathing user, El's body naturally operated beyond the limits of ordinary humans.
Every inhale and exhale of his breath was perfectly controlled, his pulse was steady even under these circumstances, and his body temperature was warmer than that of a normal human.
To Snake People, who had an extraordinary sensitivity to changes in a person's temperature, body rhythm, and energy, Yue Mei's attraction was not just instinctive, it was an attraction that tantalized her deepest instincts.
"What an attractive man!" said Yue Mei with a meaningful smile, her voice containing a seductive tone that sounded so close to El's ears. "This big sister is getting impatient to play..."
El remained still, his body motionless like a string puppet that had lost control. His passive reaction fascinated Yue Mei even more, as if igniting the embers that were already burning inside her.
However, Yue Mei suddenly stopped her movements. She moved her face away from El, keeping their lips apart.
The gaze in Yue Mei's eyes that was originally filled with desire turned quieter, as if saving something for a more appropriate time.
With a graceful movement typical of her race, Yue Mei released her tail that was tightly coiled around El's body.
The sensation of entanglement that had previously felt restrictive now gave way to relief, although the hypnotic control still bound El like a puppet obedient to its master.
"But... not here." Her voice was soft, yet firm. Yue Mei cast a quick glance at El who was still in her grasp. "This place is not appropriate enough for our game."
"Don't worry, you'll soon be playing with this big sister to your heart's content!" said Yue Mei with a seductive smile, her eyes flashing with satisfaction.
With one smooth motion, Yue Mei raised her right hand, and from her palm, a snake made of Dou Qi appeared.
The energy snake wrapped tightly yet gently around El's body, lifting her gently off the ground. Caught in the coils, El's body floated on the sand, completely under Yue Mei's control.
Wasting no time, a pair of illusory purple-colored Dou Qi wings appeared on Yue Mei's back. The night breeze swirled around her as she flicked her wings elegantly.
"Get ready, Little Brother..." she whispered, then without hesitation, Yue Mei took El with her, soaring into the vast night sky.
Their destination was clear, the Snake People's tribal residence, the site of the game Yue Mei had planned.
***
In a spacious room with white marble walls and floors, the dim light from the lanterns glowed softly, creating a calm yet eerie atmosphere.
The room was lavishly furnished, a large bed with crisp white sheets, a carved wooden desk, and an elegant wardrobe that suggested this room was reserved for the tribe's top brass.
Beyond the window, the night sky spread out, thick and silent.
In the center of the room, El stood as she stretched, her eyes sweeping around the room quietly.
"All in all, I've mapped out this place through my scent on the way here," El murmured in a low voice.
Then, sighing softly, he said, "The problem is... how do I avoid becoming the snake girl's appetizer later?"
His gaze shifted to the door of the room, her expression remaining level despite his thoughtful mind. "For now, Yue Mei went to report to Medusa..."
However, El's mind was again filled with unwanted scenarios. El sighed once more, as if preparing to face something that was difficult to avoid.
But wanting to give up, a thought crossed El's mind, making his immediately say, "Master... may I ask you a favor? This disciple of yours doesn't want to be that snake girl's servant."
A soft yet seductive laugh sounded in his mind. "Hihihi... Why wouldn't you want to?" Yuri whispered in a playful tone. "Isn't my student already prepared for that scenario?"
El sighed more heavily than before. "I did prepare, but it's better if it doesn't happen."
Pausing for a moment, leaving the words hanging in the air then, El continued. "Anyways, I just don't want to cause unnecessary chaos prematurely."
"Hoo?" Yuri responded with a curious tone, before chuckling again. "Hihihi... So, my Disciple are only enough with Seitenshi, huh? Then what about Xiao Yi Xian?"
"Master, please... This is a serious situation in my opinion." said immediately in a lazy tone.
Although her tone of voice sounded teasing, in the end Yuri said, "Alright, this master will help her Disciple."
A moment later, from El's body, a faint light flashed, forming the petite figure of Yuri in Spirit Ghost form.
Yuri floated gracefully in the air, spinning for a moment before gazing at El with heterochromia eyes that implied deep meaning.
"My most handsome Disciple," Yuri called out in a teasing tone. "Extend the index finger of your left hand to the master."
El looked at him doubtfully, not understanding what he meant. However, since Yuri intended to help, he chose to comply.
Even so, with her keen sense of smell, El could catch the scent of hidden intentions that felt a little insincere from the petite figure before him.
As soon as the index finger of his left hand was raised, Yuri moved faster than El's reflexes could catch.
Craat!
A subtle yet deadly slash was created in an instant. The Yin Qi Sword shot out from Yuri's tiny arm, slashing El's index finger off.
The severed finger fell to the floor, making a small sound as it hit the cold marble.
El was startled for a moment before a sharp pain radiated from her hand.
With quick reflexes, El immediately grasped the cut area, using Total Breathing Concentration to freeze the bleeding as quickly as possible.
"Ugh... What did the master do!? Why did you cut off my finger!?" exclaimed El, his eyes sharp, full of disbelief.
Yuri was unfazed by El's piercing gaze. Instead, she smiled slightly and tilted her head slightly, creating an adorable contrast that annoyed El even more.
"It hurts, doesn't it?" said Yuri in a friendly tone, as if the action just now was just a trivial matter.
"Of course it hurts! What's the purpose of Master cutting my finger!?" El snorted in annoyance, the look in his eyes getting sharper.
"Hihihi," Yuri giggled softly while closing his eyelids. "Sorry, sorry. But now, follow Master's instructions. Take the finger I cut off earlier. Hurry up."
