CHAPTER 45: What to Do
Sexual content warning. Rape Warning.
Under the ink-black night sky, the woman’s sighs of frustration were occasionally heard.
“When will this end?”
Below stretched an endless deep sea, its calm surface reflecting countless stars like a silver river across the heavens—beautiful yet lonely.
Yu Shanye had been flying for an entire day, unable to find a suitable place to rest. Even with her abundant spiritual energy, she couldn’t maintain this pace indefinitely. She frowned deeply, looking worriedly at the paper crane ahead while calculating how to conserve her remaining power.
Suddenly, a splashing sound in the distance caught her attention. Yu Shanye turned to see several shadows thrashing about in the water. Soon, one shadow seemed to gain the upper hand, emitting a pitiful cry.
At first, she assumed it was a group of sea serpents fighting amongst them, but one of them was different. Its scales were a pristine white, its claws sharp and deadly, with sharp claws and two small bumps on its forehead. It looked remarkably like a mythical dragon.
Could it be… a white dragon?
As she watched, mesmerized, the sea serpent coiled around the white creature, their fangs sinking into its flesh. Soon, the sea was tainted with crimson blood.
Yu Shanye frowned, torn between intervening and staying out of it. Just then, a blinding blue light emanated from the white dragon, sending the sea serpents flying as if they were tattered ropes.
A blurry figure appeared next to the white dragon. With a flick of its wrist, it sent a wave of energy towards the sea serpents before vanishing as quickly as it had appeared.
Yu Shanye stared in surprise, feeling an odd familiarity about that fleeting figure, but she couldn’t quite place it. Before she could dwell on it further, two of the sea serpents, undeterred, lunged back towards the white dragon.
Yu Shanye clicked her tongue in annoyance, unable to tolerate their bullying. She pulled out her bow, drew it back like a full moon, and a flame-formed arrow swiftly materialized between her fingers.
After a brief pause, she released the bowstring with a snap. The flaming arrow shot down like a meteor, piercing through the slippery sea serpents and pinning them to the ocean floor.
Yu Shanye gave a satisfied smile and lowered her hands, turning to look at the white dragon—but the sea surface was already empty.
Yu Shanye blinked.
Well, it sure ran fast.

“Lan Wu…”
Ji Lingyue breathed the name against Lan Wu’s skin, her voice husky with desire. When there was no response, she whined, “Lan Wu…”
Lan Wu raised her head from Ji Lingyue’s chest, lowering her head to kiss her cheek. “What is it?”
Ji Lingyue said nothing, just wrapped her arms around Lan Wu’s neck and nuzzled close, capturing her lips in a kiss.
Lan Wu glanced down at her, one arm wrapped around her waist while the other slid lower, crossing over the curves until her fingers found a warm, wet spot.
Ji Lingyue’s eyes fluttered closed, her legs parting instinctively. “Go inside…” she breathed, her voice thick with need. “Hurry…”
Lan Wu didn’t need to be told twice. Her fingers slipped past the damp folds, sinking into the tight heat that awaited her. She captured Ji Lingyue’s lower lip between her teeth, tugging gently, and a wave of sweet, needy moans spilled from Ji Lingyue’s throat.
Ji Lingyue melted against Lan Wu, her body succumbing to the waves of pleasure washing over her. Lan Wu’s hand was slick with the evidence of her arousal. As Ji Lingyue gasped for breath, Lan Wu withdrew her fingers, placing them on Ji Lingyue’s parted lips, whispering. “You’re so wet…”
Jì Língyue shuddered, pressing her lips together and squeezing her eyes shut.
Even now, her instinct was to hide when embarrassed. Some things never changed.
Lan Wu leaned forward, rolling Ji Lingyue onto her back, settling her gently onto the clothes they had spread out on the ground earlier. Ji Lingyue whined, reaching for Lan Wu, wanting to be held, but Lan Wu shifted her weight, pressing her body against her back. Ji Lingyue’s breath hitched as she felt the weight of Lan Wu’s breasts against her back. She couldn’t help but shiver, as if suddenly losing strength, and limply lay back down.
Lan Wu’s calloused fingers found Ji Lingyue’s swollen clit, stroking it gently.
Ji Lingyue moaned softly, then bit her lip, trying to stifle the sounds escaping her mouth. Lan Wu, however, mercilessly rubbed her slippery clit, her other hand coming up to support Ji Lingyue’s weight, making sure she was comfortable.
The sounds of their arousal continued to fill the air. Ji Lingyue couldn’t hold back for long, and soon she groaned, her lips parting to let out husky moans. Long fingers moved slowly inside her, squeezing out slippery fluids. Ji Lingyue was rocked up and down by the thrusts, sweat dripping down her body, soaking her soft hair and curled lashes. She gasped, clutching the clothes beneath her, her eyes losing focus, and a delicate flush slowly creeping up the corners of her eyes.
“Lan Wu, it feels so good… ah…”
The stubborn woman who had been so strong, so in control just moments ago, was now a puddle of need, her slender limbs trembling, her hips rocking against Lan Wu’s hand. Her hair spilled over her shoulders, revealing the delicate curve of her neck.
Lan Wu lowered her head, unable to resist biting that fragile skin as she used her knee to spread Ji Lingyue’s soft thighs. Ji Lingyue whimpered, her body going limp except for her raised hips. Her wet, reddened entrance clenched greedily around the invading fingers.
Lan Wu’s movements grew more insistent, the base of her fingers brushing against Ji Lingyue’s entrance with each thrust.
The slippery fluids dripped steadily, and Ji Lingyue’s body tensed, her shoulders trembling. “Lan Wu…”
“Hmm?”
“I want…” Ji Lingyue’s voice trembled. “I want to hold you.”
Lan Wu hesitated, then slowly withdrew her fingers, rolling Ji Lingyue back onto her side and pulling her close. She pressed a kiss to Ji Lingyue’s ear, her hand slipping down again, but she suddenly stopped, frowning.
“Mmm…” Ji Lingyue murmured, her eyes half-closed, her arms winding around Lan Wu’s neck like a vine. She pressed a string of messy kisses to Lan Wu’s cheek, her voice slurred with desire. “Lan Wu…”
Lan Wu blinked, her mind snapping back. She suddenly sat up.
The cool night air rushed in to fill the space where Lan Wu had been, and Ji Lingyue shivered. Her mind cleared slightly, and she realized that something was wrong. The silver-haired woman was no longer looking at her, her gaze fixed on something in the distance.
In the pale moonlight, Lan Wu’s naked skin seemed to glow, flawless like a beautiful jade, yet as ethereal as a butterfly ready to take flight.
Ji Lingyue panicked, instinctively grabbing Lan Wu, lifting her hips to rub against her palm. “Lan Wu…”
Lan Wu turned her head, saying, “Something’s happened to Ah Li.”
Ji Lingyue froze, her body suddenly growing cold. She pressed her lips together, staring at Lan Wu without a word.
Lan Wu, oblivious to the shift in Ji Lingyue’s demeanor, hurriedly straightened her clothes, worriedly saying, “Though there’s no danger to her life, she is injured. I need to go immediately…”
Ji Lingyue grabbed her wrist, her voice a choked whisper. “You’re not allowed to go.”
As if those words held a strange power, Lan Wu felt her knees weaken, her body freezing in place as if paralyzed.
Startled, she said reflexively, “You’re doing this again…”
“Why shouldn’t I?” Ji Lingyue cupped her face, leaning in to kiss her lightly, whispering, “Don’t you understand, Lan Wu? We’re bound now. Whatever I want to do to you, you cannot refuse.”
Lan Wu froze, looking at her in confusion.
Ji Lingyue let out a humorless laugh, her voice laced with bitterness. “Did you really think things could go back to how they were? Lan Wu, face it. I’m your master now. When I’m happy, I might go along with you. When I’m not… you obey.”
Lan Wu frowned, finally saying, “Ah Yue…”
“Don’t speak! I won’t listen to you anymore!” Ji Lingyue cut her off suddenly, commanding with reddened eyes, “From now on, don’t speak, don’t resist, close your eyes!”
Lan Wu looked at her in disbelief, her long lashes trembling with unease, but she reluctantly complied.
Ji Lingyue pushed her down onto her back. She crawled on top of Lan Wu, and pressed her wet sex against Lan Wu’s lips, coldly saying, “Lick me.”
Had Lan Wu’s eyes been open, she would have seen the slick entrance, the swollen clit still trembling from earlier, with glistening fluid trickling out from the narrow slit.
But her eyes were closed, her body a prisoner to the bond, her own will irrelevant. She extended her tongue obediently, like a puppet.
Wetness coated her chin, the soft flesh brushing against her nose. Ji Lingyue rode atop her, moaning shamelessly and rocking her hips to push her swollen entrance against Lan Wu’s tongue.
“Mm… ah…”
She moaned in pleasure, looking down at Lan Wu’s beautiful face, a strange yet sweet smile spreading across her lips. “Look what I’m doing to you … what can you… ah, what can you do about it…”
That’s it, I’m done!
Thanks for translating to such high quality, as always! This feels like such a massive turning point in the relationship between Lan Wu and Ji Lingyue, but with this only being chapter 45 out of over 200, it seems like there’s plenty of room for a lot more to change and happen. I’m invested in their (currently very unhealthy) dynamic and looking forward to seeing where this goes.
