Dual Cultivation God Returns

As the doors closed behind Wu Long, Nie Xiwang, who did not sit back down on the Throne turned her gaze to him still standing in the center of the room as before.

"Pfft! ....ehahahahaha!

You are quite something, Daoist Wu.

I wanted to be angry with you at first for the stunt you pulled before..."

She then started laughing, and her cheeks flushed red as she remembered the vision she saw when she spied on him leaving the capital.

"...but you gavea good laugh and a great opportunity to get rid of those annoying people for a short period, so I suppose we can call it even"

She then said, revealing a look that made the tips of Wu Long's lips to curl up in a smile.

"Even? I beg to differ, Your Majesty.

It seems to me, that you still want something from me"

He spoke with a tone that made her widen her eyes. A tone she understood without experience or much knowledge. The understanding coming naturally.

Wu Long made a step forward, and she involuntarily made one backward. His step was confident and unwavering while hers was filled with hesitation and shaky.

He saw it in her gaze when he spoke to those ministers, and made his position on all matters clear, he saw something he was very familiar with.

Arousal.

There were hints of flirting glances between the two before, but so subtle, that even sexperienced womanizers and man-eaters would struggle to catch them.

However, as she saw him deal with those she constantly had trouble with as if they were flies, confidently standing amid that room, dignified and domineering, coupled with the visions he showed her before, something inside her shifted, or awakened.

"Fr-..from you...?"

She hesitantly asked, both afraid and craving to hear the answer.

He made another step toward her and as she retreated again, she stumbled and plopped onto the throne, while Wu Long took this opportunity to instantly close the distance between them with fast confident steps that echoed through the room.

"You know what I am talking about. Because it is something you want"

He leaned over her, placing his hand on the backrest of the throne, as her eyes, opened wide, reflected his face, looking up at him and then shifting toward his lips for a split moment before jumping up to meet his eyes again.

"I...I want..."

Her lips mumbled, and she gulped, a flurry of feelings she never experienced rising up and overwhelming her, slightly clouding her reason, and making her also feel a kind of clarity.

'I... I can't... I am... I am an Empress...

And... this place... no, not the place, even... even thinking about it is absurd no matter where it is!'

Her thoughts swirled inside her as she looked into his eyes, but strangely could not move her sight away, as if sucked into his gaze.

The feeling of something forbidden, something taboo that should be frowned upon happening welled up in her chest, mixing into the storm of emotions and surprisingly only made her arousal increase.

'This shouldn't be happening!... It's not right!'

Her mind screamed as he chuckled looking into her eyes. He now knew what she saw in the visions of pleasure, or could make a guess with high certainty.

"But... in order to obtain that which you want from me, you must agree to becmy woman"

His words caused her throat to becdry as she gulped again.

"Y-Your woman?"

She repeated his words, staring at him as if bewitched. She could not deny the attraction she felt toward him, which was amplified by her excited state.

'Absurd! Absolutely absurd!

I... I am the Monarch of the Wood Spirit Empire! I... I-...!'

Her reasoning was sharply facing off with her turbulent emotions.

He resembled a starved beast that was watching its prey, powerful, wild and dangerous, making him look even more attractive in her gaze.

'But... where else would I find such a man?

A man as exceptional in all aspects... outspoken... attractive... intelligent... dangerous and different in the most... seductive ways... and at the stime...

... POWERFUL...?

No... not even that... would I care if by simpossible coincidence I found one?'

And then something in her gaze changed, as she seemed to have an epiphany.

His smile becwider as he saw that change, slowly leaning in to the side of her head as her heart rate went up from the closeness.

His smile becwider as he saw that change, slowly leaning in to the side of her head as her heart rate went up from the "You don't need to worry so much about consequences, status, or any other of those fleeting things.

Since as long as you becmy woman there is no gilded or brutal cage that can hold you.

No chains that can restrain you.

No words that can forbid you.

You just need to think about what you really want. What your heart desires.

And as long as you wish it, you just have to say yes, and nothing else will matter"

He spoke in a deep tone as a shiver went through her, Nie Xiwang's eyes closing as she took a trembling breath, which backfired as his scent filled her lungs.

"What I... want..."

She repeated his words that resonated deep within her.

"Yes, what you want. What you wanted ever since then..."

A memory floated up in her mind, jogged by his words. A memory of a young-looking man with a domineering and defiant gaze, standing before the gates of the Wu Family Mansion that he previously turned upside down, and gazing up at her with a confident smile.

'Ah... I see, so I was already...'

She suddenly understood, that this was not something new, that happened today, this was always where this was going. This was something she knew would come.

The eyes of the Blade Empress closed once more, and eyes of one woman facing one man opened wide.

"...Yes"
