Chapter 3 - The Rise of Lust

The morning sunlight streamed through the cloud-dappled skies above Wu Tan City, casting golden warmth over the sprawling Xiao Clan compound. The clang of metal, the grunts of sparring youths, and the occasional crack of Dou Qi techniques filled the air.

But Xiao Yan felt none of it.

His focus was inward—on the smooth, sultry voice that still echoed in his mind from the night before.

> Lust System successfully bound to Host.

Erotic Cultivation Protocol: Active.

First Mission: Attain an Erotic Qi Thread through physical intimacy.

He hadn't dreamed it. The system was real. And so was this second life in the body of the once-famous Xiao Clan genius. The memories were hazy, but they told a clear story: once revered, then mocked, now... forgotten.

A perfect setup for a dramatic return. Or, in his case, a seductive one.

And as luck—or the system—would have it, his first opportunity walked right up to him with her breasts practically bouncing in his face.

"Xiao Yan?" The girl's voice was sharp, surprised, and just a little too amused. "Didn't expect to see you out here. Finally crawling out of your hole?"

He turned slowly. That voice—he knew it now.

Xiao Mei.

Long, raven-black hair tied in a playful high ponytail, her bangs sweeping just above teasing violet eyes. Her body had blossomed in all the right ways: perky, full breasts strained against her tight training robes, and her hips swayed naturally as she shifted her weight from one leg to the other.

> [Target Detected: Xiao Mei – Dou Qi Stage 3]

Bust: 92cm | Waist: 58cm | Hips: 91cm

Erotic Affection: Mild Curiosity (Rising)

System Suggestion: Tease. Flirt. Establish physical contact.

Xiao Yan smirked. Say no more.

"Mei'er," he said smoothly, stepping closer, letting his gaze drag across her body with open interest, "you've grown since the last time I saw you…"

Xiao Mei blinked. "What?"

"You've filled out… nicely." His eyes dropped to her breasts, then back up, deliberately. "I mean, your cultivation. Obviously."

Her cheeks flared pink. "You're one to talk, trash. Still at Dou Qi stage three, aren't you?"

He grinned wider. "Want to check me yourself?"

Xiao Mei stiffened as he stepped in close. Too close. She backed into a stone pillar, and he leaned in just slightly, his lips near her ear.

"You always used to stare at me when we were younger. I remember that. You were a naughty little voyeur, weren't you?"

She gasped. "I-I did not!"

"Sure you didn't," he whispered, letting his fingers brush her wrist—just light enough to make her shiver. Her skin felt warm, her pulse fast beneath his touch.

Her eyes flicked around. "T-This is a training ground…"

"I know," he said, stepping back with a wicked grin. "Plenty of people watching. Gets the blood pumping, doesn't it?"

She scowled, turned on her heel, and walked away with a dramatic sway of her hips. But her ears were red, and her thighs pressed just a little tighter with each step.

Later That Day – Secluded Garden Grounds

Xiao Yan leaned against a wooden post near the back of the clan's inner courtyard, where fewer people trained. Birds chirped. The wind rustled gently through the trees. It was quiet. Private.

Xiao Mei arrived shortly after. Begrudgingly.

"I don't know why I'm even here," she said, arms crossed, cleavage squeezed deliciously together by her tight robe.

"Because you're curious," Xiao Yan replied, stepping closer. "And you've been thinking about me."

She rolled her eyes, but didn't leave.

He reached out slowly, fingers grazing her waist. Her breath hitched. She didn't stop him. He leaned in, lips brushing her cheek, then her jawline.

"Your skin's soft," he whispered, his hand sliding lower, fingers pressing against her firm, round ass. She gasped but didn't pull away.

He nibbled her earlobe. She trembled.

"I could make you feel so good, Mei'er…"

Her voice came out shaky. "Just this once… just to shut you up."

Progress: 100% — Erotic Qi Thread Acquired!

Xiao Yan pulled her close and captured her lips in a deep, lustful kiss.

She moaned into him as his hands roamed—palming her tits through the robe, feeling her nipples harden instantly. His tongue slid past her lips, dominating her mouth as her knees wobbled.

Xiao Mei's thighs clenched, heat pouring from between her legs. Her hips rolled unconsciously against his thigh. Her hand grabbed his shoulder for balance, the other slipping to his waist—then lower.

She froze.

"Is that… your…?"

He grinned, letting her feel it. His cock throbbed, thick and hard beneath his robes.

"Mei'er," he said, "this is just the beginning."

She bit her lip, panting.

Elsewhere – A Hidden Presence

Unseen, a shadow watched from the courtyard roof.

Long white hair flowed down her back, curves divine beneath her elegant black robe. Her crimson eyes sparkled with interest.

"So," she murmured, her voice dripping with sultry amusement, "the boy has awakened something… intriguing."

It was not the system.

It was her.

A mysterious cultivator—long hidden, long watching.

She licked her lips slowly.

"Perhaps it's time I introduced myself…"
