Chapter 56: A Serpent's Lewd Nature (Patreon)

【Lingsha rose through the ranks at an unprecedented speed, and her methods of handling interpersonal relationships grew more and more sophisticated. Many praised her for being approachable and exceptionally easy to get along with.】

【In contrast, the few who had framed her back then failed to focus on their studies and were soon forced to withdraw from school due to repeated failing grades.】

Before Lingsha even had to climb any higher, these self-destructing fools took themselves out.

How ironic.

【However, Lingsha was only ever extremely clingy in front of you.】

【They say it's in a snake's nature to be licentious, and now you understood that profoundly.】

【Perhaps after wearing a mask for so long outside, she just wanted to be a bit freer at home.】

【But sometimes, Lingsha's exceptionally passionate and clingy behavior became a source of some distress for you.】

【She thwarted a plot by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, received praise, and wanted to do it with you.】

【As a military physician accompanying the Zhuming forces, she uncovered the enormous hidden profits in the army's pharmaceuticals. Through secret investigations, she purged the corrupt personnel from the military, received a commendation, and wanted to do it with you.】

【When she was happy, she'd say she wanted to share her joy and do it with you.】

【When she was upset, she'd say she needed comfort and do it with you.】

【Whenever she was in the mood, she would find any excuse to do it with you.】

【She was like an insatiably greedy python, coiling around you, refusing to let go.】

【The secluded life of research, which you had expected to be exceedingly dull, turned out to be full of color.】

【In these peaceful and happy days, time always flew by.】

【Your research finally bore fruit, and you could begin the next phase of your plan...】

【Not long after, a piece of news that shocked the entire Xianzhou Alliance spread: the Ambrosial Arbor on the Luofu Xianzhou, an Abundance scourge that had long since withered, had miraculously sprung back to life!】

【Under your command, the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus collaborated with the Emanator of Destruction, Lord Ravager Phantylia. Phantylia brought a Stellaron, and with the cooperation of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus and the Vidyadhara, it was implanted into the Ambrosial Arbor.】

【The Disciples of Sanctus Medicus seized the opportunity to wreak havoc alongside Phantylia, with the Vidyadhara secretly assisting, throwing the entire Luofu into chaos.】

【In the end, it was a sudden visit from the Nameless that turned the tide and resolved the crisis, but the Cloud Knights still suffered heavy losses.】

【This incident, however, presented an opportunity for some high-ranking officials in the Alliance who had long been dissatisfied with Jing Yuan. Certain high officials from the Alliance's Six Charioteers took the chance to stir up trouble, and articles of impeachment against Jing Yuan flew in like snowflakes.】

【Although Jing Yuan had Marshal Hua's firm support, he still had to submit to a supervisory review by several generals.】

【After careful consideration, Marshal Hua dispatched the steady and experienced General Huaiyan of Zhuyuan and the keen and progressive Sky-Striking General Feixiao.】

【On the Luofu Xianzhou, Jing Yuan ordered a Martial Exhibition to be held. Firstly, with so many major incidents having occurred on the Luofu, the morale of both the populace and the Cloud Knights was low, and a martial exhibition could boost their spirits.】

【Secondly, holding the exhibition would require a large number of Cloud Knights for security, which would inevitably weaken the defensive forces in other areas. The influx of outsiders would also increase the difficulty of maintaining security. This was a heaven-sent opportunity for fishing in troubled waters.】

【Jing Yuan guessed that the hidden mastermind would certainly take this opportunity to cause trouble, and he planned to use it to catch them all in one fell swoop.】

【Jing Yuan's calculations were clicking along perfectly. Unfortunately for him, you possessed more intelligence; his little schemes couldn't fool you.】

【So you ordered the Vidyadhara to play along, join forces with the Borisin, and release the Borisin War-Chief Hoolay during the Martial Exhibition to further muddy the waters.】

【Meanwhile, Lingsha was troubled by a certain matter. The Alliance high command had issued her a letter of appointment, naming her the new Head of the Luofu's Alchemy Commission.】

【Needless to ask, it was either General Huaiyan who had recommended her to the Alliance high command, or it was Yanting-jun's doing.】

【The day she received the letter of appointment, Lingsha returned home, pouting.】

【Other people would be overjoyed at such a promotion, wanting to celebrate with gongs and drums. Moreover, Lingsha was being promoted back to her hometown, which was a double joy.】

【Yet she looked as disgruntled as if someone owed her money.】

【You found it baffling. When you asked for the reason, Lingsha finally said, "The Zhuming and the Luofu are too far apart. I won't be able to see Teacher every day anymore."】

【You were taken aback for a moment, then you smiled and stroked Lingsha's head. "Silly girl, this is a good thing. Only by leaving my side can you learn to stand on your own two feet."】

【"But I don't want to leave your side, Teacher." Lingsha whined, coiling around your body like a snake.】

【You gently patted her arm.】

【"Don't worry, Teacher will also be returning to the Luofu soon," you promised with a smile, a glint in your eyes.】

【After all, your plan was nearing completion. Once it was done, the entire Xianzhou Alliance would be powerless against you. At that time, you would certainly return to the Luofu. After all, what good is achieving fame and fortune if you don't return to your hometown to show it off? It would be like wearing brocade at night.】

【"Really?! That's wonderful!" Lingsha exclaimed with joyous laughter. She didn't want to be separated from you for even a second.】

【Just when you thought Lingsha would settle down for a bit, she lunged at you yet again, tearing at your clothes.】

【As she tore at them, this little lustful snake spoke with conviction.】

【"Since I'll be going to the Luofu first, Teacher and I will still be apart for some time, right? So tonight, Teacher must compensate me properly~!"】

【You suddenly felt like you had shot yourself in the foot...】

The system prompted again, a special scene had been triggered.

The Lingsha of today was very different from before.

Her figure had become more mature and full, like a ripened fruit.

The biggest change, however, was in her hands and feet.

In order to study the integration of incense with Luofu alchemy, she had ingested a large amount of medicinal herbs, and the blood of a crimson dragon had gradually developed within her body.

The external manifestation of this was the growth of crimson dragon scales on her hands and feet.

The color of these scales faded from dark to light starting from the fingertips, and the transition between the scales and her normal skin was so natural that the dividing line was almost invisible.

As for the texture, well, Victor had experienced it firsthand with his own body. It wasn't as smooth as human skin, having a fine, matte feel to it, which had its own unique appeal.

Lingsha seemed to have noticed this as well. She smiled bewitchingly and proactively extended her hand to you...

Perhaps because she believed they wouldn't see each other for a long time.

That night, Lingsha was exceptionally wild. She was like a greedy python, clinging tightly to Victor, constantly demanding more, as if she wanted to crush every bone in his body and then swallow him whole.

Indeed, when a woman goes wild, there's nothing a man can do.

The next morning, Victor felt a deep ache throughout his entire body, right down to his bones. He was the very picture of a man who had been completely drained...
