Paragon of Sin

The World Between the Fold was immersed in all sorts of activity, from children cultivating with grand hopes of their budding future and blossoming talents, merchants struggling to peddle their wares, Creationists creating miraculous items, vile beings committing evil, or experts devising schemes against the world.

However, on the 77th floor of a shared-living complex of the Myriad Transformations Academy, the rousing sounds of intimacy flourished ceaselessly. The sensual moans, continuous flesh-on-flesh impact, and sounds of rapidly beating hearts were resounding here.

Only three figures existed in this luxurious room, two were involved in the act, and the third watched with an indescribably conflicted expression, wonderful and ever-changing. This speechless, dazed, and unwillingly yet freshly-born voyeur was none other than the one and only Liu Suyin, the Envoy of the City of Endless, Vice-Sect Master of the Void Voyage Sect.

She was assigned to watch Wei Wuyin. He was to never leave her sights unless absolutely unavoidable—the order she received after Wei Wuyin had left her presence at the Skyship, blocking off Liu Yinlan's senses. The Myriad Transformations Academy was too dangerous to allow Wei Wuyin to freely explore, with countless variables being possible, and only when she thought he was receiving the legacy of the Myriad Transformations Alchemic Saint did Liu Suyin accept this.

This order was absolute; she was loyal to her ancestor, her position, and her duty. How could she have known that Wei Wuyin would engage in such acts, and this had unintentionally caused her to…

Her breathing was almost as rapid as the rising tides of the ocean, sporadic and vigorous. Regardless of how she tried to calm herself down, look away, or focus elsewhere, the sounds of Wei Wuyin and Cao Cuifen's harmonious breathing, the music of fleshy contact, and ever-shifting positions drew her back. She was inexperienced in the matters of men and women, not ignorant, merely lacking personal experience, and yet she never thought in her life that it was so violent and gentle.

Liu Suyin never imagined that a woman could have such a distorted facial expression, painted with ecstasy and endless desire. She never imagined that muscles on a male's body can be so perfectly sculptured, and every movement of a bicep and thigh, of the pectoral muscles, of those strong lips pressing against the smoothness of soft skin, could be so mesmerizing.

The sweetest of moans, the loudest of willing screams, and the cries wanting, no, begging for more had taken over her entire Sea of Consciousness against her will. The imagery was enough to claim her thoughts. The added sounds of sensuality merely snatched her soul after seizing those thoughts.

Her body felt unbearably hot. When she saw how Cao Cuifen squirmed beneath Wei Wuyin's body, how their most intimate parts connected, how it seemed as if Cao Cuifen could barely take it, yet she defied the heavens in doing so, her voice losing its sanity as it entered the deepest part of what Liu Suyin had always considered the most important aspect of a female, Liu Suyin's had lost her focus.

There was no longer any indifference in her misty pair of eyes.

A minute. An hour? A day! She lost her concept of time as they kept engaging without the slightest break. She knew that the Mortal Returning Pellet might've sealed Cao Cuifen's cultivation, substituted portions of her Ascended Existential Framework, the intrinsic difference between mortal and Ascended, with temporary mortal properties, allowing this unexpected union to be possible, but Cao Cuifen's body was still refined by powerful mystic-graded energies throughout her lifetime. She was extremely durable, her body's resilience still enough to survive a planet-destroying blow, and her stamina remained.

She was lucky too; Wei Wuyin was ruthless with her. At times, when he twisted her in a position where she was on all fours, where she clenched the sheets of their satin silk and clenched her teeth with anticipation, Liu Suyin thought after movement of Wei Wuyin was driven with the intent to kill. She even cried out a few times, thinking Cao Cuifen might truly die while being pierced by that gargantuanly vile weapon.

If that was someone else…if that was her…It seemed capable of killing her, piercing so deep that she might lose the ability to breathe…

She didn't even care about Cao Cuifen, but her heart still jumped with each vigorous thrust. The faint trembling of the air denoted the sheer might of their union. Sometimes, there was a moment of serenity, of simplest union, where Wei Wuyin seemed unimaginably gentle, his silver eyes focused solely on Cao Cuifen's eyes as if gazing into her soul. Their breathing harmonized here.

At some ungodly point, whether it was a few hours in, or a few days in, Liu Suyin's breathing was far too heavy and wild. The action stopped, giving her a little room to think. Yet what happened next, as that figure that had an impeccable body, seemingly flawless, walked over with that python slithering about, faintly dripping with obscene liquid.

She looked up with much strength, realizing that she was sitting plainly on the floor, finding a pair of silver eyes that resembled profound full moons staring back at her, and she hadn't heard what was said, but the hand that reached out to invite her was like a devilish whisper in the furthest depths of her heart. She found herself rising, moving, and feeling the softness of the satin silk sheets that were deformed by Cao Cuifen's strength, still carrying her heat and fluids.

When she felt a pair of strong lips pressed against hers, Liu Suyin was unable to describe all the feelings she felt. She might never. But, she let those feelings flow in their most natural manner.

A night of passion unfolded.

Wei Wuyin's closed eyes strained themselves to open. When he finally recalled the series of events that had happened over several days, he let loose a satisfied breath carrying heavy relief.

He wasn't dead.

This might be the strangest thought one would have after experiencing the amazing night he had, but he was worried about a certain someone giving her first time to him. He was a little rash, he wouldn't deny that, so when he looked down, finding a sleeping face attached to a fully exposed beautiful body on his chest, he once again was relieved.

Liu Suyin was still a virgin—her Primal Yin was intact. While that was the easiest way to define a virgin, he didn't think after what they did last night, Liu Suyin could be considered 'pure' any longer. With a soft and amused chuckle, he tried to rise, only to find another body to his right, pressing its head against his biceps, and slumbering with soft, deep breaths.

Cao Cuifen…

This woman…he couldn't figure out what she wanted. He had tried to stealthily invade her Sea of Consciousness through their union with her cultivation Sealed, her innate energies replaced, but while she was able to avert the consequences of an Ascended being coupling with a mortal, her Ascended Existential Framework was still fully intact, so her Sea of Consciousness was still that of an Ascended. Furthermore, her memories were governed by the Mystic Dao, not the Mortal Dao.

He was unable to find out her secrets. At least, he hadn't found out by reading her memories. He, however, was capable of realizing a fact that greatly shook his heart.

Cao Cuifen wasn't at the Soul of Mysticism Phase. Despite her cultivation base being sealed, she had various imprints on the Ascended Existential Framework of complete Mystic Runes. This wasn't a sign of a Soul of Mysticism cultivator, but an Earthly Saint! She was hiding her true strength!

After reading the various materials of knowledge regarding the differences between Mortals and Ascended beings, Wei Wuyin knew about this Ascended Existential Framework that served as a fresh foundation, essentially a replacement for their Mortal Existential Framework. So their organs, their Soul, their memories, everything was entirely different.

And cultivation slowly changed this foundation, and the Star Core was the final preparation to allow the transition of ascending beyond Mortal Limits. It was true, Ascended beings were fundamentally different existences altogether.

In the curated version of his Second Mind, a personally written book regarding this Framework, the Second Mind speculated that Beastmen, Elves, and the two other races in the World Beyond the Fold widely considered as 'inferior' races had flawed frameworks.

There was an extremist journal written by a bigot that suggested their origins were unnatural, and they were abominations that went against Heavens' Will, so they lacked the quintessential right to exist alongside the Mortal, Mystic, and Immortal Daos beneath the heavens. While it came from a place of hate, it was all too likely to be the truth.

Wei Wuyin heaved a soft sigh.

As he did so, he felt a wet and warm sensation below him. The sounds of suckling resounded, including breathily stuffed moans, and when he looked toward its source, he found an awakened Liu Suyin, her head bobbing enthusiastically as if she found a great treasure to play with.

"..." Wei Wuyin closed his eyes as he felt the head move to look his way, pretending to be asleep.

Just enjoy it.

Three hours later, Wei Wuyin was fully clothed and peering outside the large window that revealed the active streets of the academy. In a chair, off in a corner, a silver-robed woman sat with closed eyes pretending to cultivate. Her facial features were devoid of any emotion, but the faintest of blushes on her cheeks betrayed her peaceful image. It was clear her thoughts were disturbed, and she could not cultivate in the slightest.

Exiting a steamy room, a gorgeous woman with wet hair dripping down her shoulders, her body exuded a refreshed air, and her eyes were filled with vibrant energies. She was garbed in a seven-colored silk robe, her eyes scouring the room, eventually finding the closed-eyed Liu Suyin.

When she thought about that, she revealed a wry smile. Who would've thought her first time would include another woman halfway? It was always shocking to have a witness to this. She was amused by life. The world was filled with unexpected events.

When she found Wei Wuyin gazing upon the academy's streets, a bashful expression emerged on her wet face, followed by a bright, excited smile. "I-"

"I know this isn't the right time, and I wish I had longer to stay, to figure out what you want, to talk about your feelings. I truly do, but I can't." Wei Wuyin interrupted her suddenly, his hand pressed against the glass clenched slightly. He looked at Liu Suyin through the faint reflection when saying 'your feelings', and sighed softly.

Liu Suyin's eyes opened. She looked at Wei Wuyin with a frown. There was a sensation building within her heart, one that was becoming increasingly urgent, but she suppressed it to listen.

Wei Wuyin felt the same, but their reasons were different. He was feeling it because of the world's trend, the sensation of acute danger, and she was feeling it because of him.

Wei Wuyin turned his head at Cao Cuifen, this Earthly Saint in disguise, and gently smiled. Regardless of whether it was a part of a larger scheme, the willingness to give yourself to another was something he'll never undervalue. "I wanted to ask you so many questions, but I can't wait any longer."

"What are you talking about…?" Cao Cuifen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, she wasn't shocked that Wei Wuyin had suspicions, she was taken aback by his abrupt words. It felt as if he was saying goodbye. No, more like he had to leave…

Liu Suyin stood up, "Wei Wuyin, we can leave now if you want; the Sect Master is waiting." She thought Wei Wuyin was talking about taking his destiny, becoming the True Destined Voyager, and that he had fully decided to do so. Her heart was a mess, but she felt a surge of happiness that was unmistakable.

Wei Wuyin saw the excited expression of Liu Suyin and closed his eyes. After failing to figure out Cao Cuifen's motives, he didn't want to be delayed by a hidden Earthly Saint's schemes.

"We'll meet again," Wei Wuyin strongly stated.

"Let's g-" For some reason Liu Suyin's urgency exploded, and she began to move towards Wei Wuyin with her hand outstretched.

ROAR!

But a powerful roar erupted. Liu Suyin's steps halted and both of their eyes widened uncontrollably. Wei Wuyin unleashed his Void Force! With a single thought, the spatial restrictions around him were unable to keep him contained, and his body merged with fixed space.

He vanished.
