Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 692: Chapter 324 Growth_2

Her cherry-colored lips left Li Yelai’s collarbone, trailing a silver thread from the corner of her mouth.

Her complexion became even more rosy as she looked into Li Yelai’s eyes and said, “I’m just returning what you did… to you. I’m not trying to take advantage of you.”

Li Yelai was completely dumbfounded. What kind of logic was this?

I took advantage of you while drunk, so you want to take it back? Isn’t that somewhat unreasonable?

Shouldn’t you be beating yourself up with a stick instead?

By doing this, who is really taking advantage of whom?

Sure enough, the Doll was too innocent, too gentle.

She probably thought ‘an eye for an eye’ was already a very harsh punishment.

But this is more of a reward than a punishment.

Yet, this was actually a little scheme of the Doll’s.

After all, what exactly did Li Yelai do at that time? He couldn’t remember himself, so wasn’t it up to her to say?

Then, she continued to unbutton Li Yelai’s shirt, revealing his well-defined pectoral muscles.

‘Humph,’ the Doll thought with a light snort, and then she bit down.

The wet and tender touch made Li Yelai’s body shiver.

Li Yelai struggled to suppress the tingling pleasure, and gasped lowly, “Doll, this isn’t quite right…”

He reached out a hand to push the Doll away but was held down by her, as she pressed firmly against his wrist.

“When we were drunk… you bit me so hard, I have to bite back,” insisted the Doll as she continued her ‘retaliation’.

After leaving two or three teeth marks on his pectorals, the Doll finally let go. Then, from neck to Adam’s apple, to the jaw, her cherry-colored lips left moist red marks.

And each touch made Li Yelai’s body tremble, which somewhat pleased the Doll.

At the time of the drunkenness, Li Yelai’s actions also made her emit many shy sounds.

It was good that Cheese, who lived next door, wasn’t around; otherwise, she might have heard everything.

Uh, if she had been heard, probably she would have kicked the door down, willing to brave the curse of fear to catch the cheaters…

No, I should be the one catching cheaters… Yes, I should be!

Her mind wandered into chaotic thoughts, making her unaware that, with her movements, the ice-silk strap slid off her shoulder, revealing the snow-white skin beneath her collarbone, which exuded endless temptation.

This tactic, in the Think Tank’s strategy, is called ‘the cunning old shoulder’.

The Doll performed it unintentionally, causing Li Yelai to subconsciously close his eyes, “Wait a moment…”

This action made the Doll pause and then blush even more.

She took Li Yelai’s closed eyes as a Suggestion… though innocent in thought, she had also seen many strategies.

Closing your eyes at this moment… it means that, right?

So, she slowly lowered her head and gently bit Li Yelai’s lips.

Just like that night, Li Yelai had also bitten her lips.

Li Yelai felt the touch on his lips.

Then, a wet and tender sensation came from the tip of his tongue.

The sweet and sticky feeling between lips and teeth was addicting and irresistible.

At that time… did he also kiss her lips?

Li Yelai suddenly understood why even after something like that happened, the Doll was not angry, and was still willing to interact with him.

And to ‘retaliate’ against him in this way.

Was that… love?

But… how could Li Yelai be worthy of responding to these feelings?

He came to know and grow close to the Doll only because of his curse resistance.

And it was precisely because of this curse resistance that the Doll could only choose him.

Later on, once they find a way to suppress the curse…

Without the curse of fear, many people will like her, and her choices will no longer be limited to just him.

Now, she is a single-choice question… It might be a mistake to think this dependence is that kind of love.

But what if after the curse is lifted? Will she regret it?

And furthermore… Li Yelai’s consciousness arrived beneath a strange starry sky, gazing into the mist at the mysteriously chained being.

With two chains left…

If in the coming crisis, Li Yelai still chooses to make a deal with Mr. Shadow…

No one knew what would happen…

The result of the consultation with his father, Li Qiong, was that the least dangerous scenario involved Mr. Shadow directly taking over Li Yelai’s body.

After all, as a Void Realm Creature, it needed a physical vessel to enter the Physical World.

Li Yelai, who had traded with It four times, might just be the vessel It had chosen.

The possibility was significant.

Mr. Shadow, after all, was also a Divine being from the Void Realm.

It was even possible that he was a powerful entity capable of challenging the Chaos Gods.

Being watched by such an entity at all times…

Under these circumstances, could he still respond to the feelings of others?

Li Yelai was afraid, afraid that he would delay others… and feared that in the end, he would hurt them.

At the very least, he had to wait until he was sure Mr. Shadow was harmless. Or else, he had to be absolutely certain he would never make that last trade…

But the former could not be ascertained, could he really go and ask Mr. Shadow directly?

As for the latter… in some desperate situations, he might have only one choice: to trade.

As it stood, he was not qualified to respond to anyone’s feelings.

He simply didn’t deserve it…

He was not Ye Han; he wouldn’t irresponsibly drag others into the Abyss for his own desires.

Thus, Li Yelai strived to pull himself out of those wonderful sensations, placing his hand on the smooth and tender shoulders of the Doll, abruptly ending the kiss that sent hearts racing and thoughts swirling.

The Doll looked at Li Yelai shyly and confusedly; she had felt so good just moments ago and wanted to kiss again.

Yet, she heard Li Yelai panting, “Doll, we will find a way to suppress the curse eventually… You will still have plenty of choices… Don’t make a decision you will regret.”

This left the Doll, with her hazy mind, somewhat bewildered; she did not understand why Li Yelai would say that.

And what choices?

The Doll had yet to grasp the meaning behind Li Yelai’s words.

“Let’s stop for now, I owe you,” Li Yelai struggled to suppress his natural reaction, “Otherwise, something very bad will happen.”

Li Yelai was indeed a powerful gunman.

Whether in Giant City or within the Church, his long weapon skills were considered top-notch.

This was thanks to the heritage of Overlord Xiang Yu’s Single-handed Eighteen Strokes and the honing of techniques from various Faces.

But even with his formidable gunsmanship, he couldn’t suppress his male instincts…

“Something very bad?” The Doll cocked her head, looking at Li Yelai in puzzlement.

Did Xiao Ye get bitten and it hurt? Then she… could bite back, too.

But soon enough, the Doll lying atop Li Yelai felt that so-called very bad thing.

And at the same time… she suddenly understood the joke posted in the Think Tank group a few days ago.

[Bring a stick and tell him, ‘Either you take the stick or I do.’]

At that time, she thought it was some powerful Taboo Item or Spiritual Ability Equipment. She even planned on whether to transform her Spiritual Ability Equipment into a stick.

And only now did she finally understand…

She blushed fiercely, even though she was accustomed to their lurid words in the ‘Think Tank’ group.

At that moment, she couldn’t help but feel nervous and shy, as well as… a hint of fear.

The Doll’s face became increasingly flushed, her breathing heavier, making her all the more enticing.

The Doll’s daze gave Li Yelai the opportunity to rise. He planned to go home first to avoid exposing his embarrassed state in front of the Doll.

But he found the air around him turned sticky, restraining his movements.

The girl murmured in a tiny voice, “But I don’t want to owe you…”

She suddenly understood Li Yelai’s previous cryptic warning and laughed helplessly. She would have no regrets about her choices. They might have met due to curse resistance, but she saw it as an inevitable twist of fate.

She did not know what Xiao Ye was worried about… fearful of, but whatever it was,

She was ready to face it with him.

An ice silk robe slid to the floor, and the girl’s cherry lips found their place again…

…

Meanwhile, in a mysterious valley,

A giant dragon roared, engaged in a blood-soaked battle, and finally, with a scorching Dragon Breath, it utterly vanquished its enemy.
