Divine Seal: I, the Grim Reaper, am kept by the yandere Cai'er.

Chapter 40 The Torment of Ice and Fire! A Huge Blunder and the Throbbing of Dawn

Back in her hotel room, Cai'er immediately locked the door.

Under Bai Ye's guidance, she took out a sharp dagger and carefully cut off a piece the size of a baby's fist from the whale glue that was the size of a human head.

Then, Cai'er ignited a ball of pure spiritual energy at her fingertips, suspending the black whale glue above the flames and slowly roasting it.

Soon, the whale glue, which was originally as hard as iron, began to soften, and a faint oily sheen appeared on its surface. The original faint fishy smell also dissipated, and in its place was an extremely strange fragrance.

"That's enough, eat it while it's hot," Bai Ye reminded him in his mind.

Without hesitation, Cai'er put the softened whale gelatin into her mouth.

The whale gelatin melts in your mouth, turning into a scalding hot stream that slides down your throat and into your stomach.

"boom!"

The moment the whale gelatin entered her stomach, Cai'er felt as if a dormant volcano inside her had suddenly erupted!

An extremely large, violent, yet vibrant energy, like a wild horse unleashed, instantly flowed through her limbs and bones.

Cai'er could clearly feel that her bones, muscles, and even every slender meridian were emitting extremely subtle buzzing sounds under the impact of this domineering energy, undergoing a transformative tempering.

However, the thrill of this power boost didn't last long before an extremely strange side effect came crashing down on them.

"Ugh————"

Cai'er let out a muffled groan of discomfort. Her originally fair and jade-like skin was now flushed with an alluring pink, like that of a ripe apple.

She felt incredibly hot all over, her mouth was dry, and even her breath felt scalding.

Even more deadly, as her body temperature continued to rise, a strange desire she had never experienced before, one that was extremely difficult to talk about, grew wildly and spread in her heart like weeds in spring.

Cai'er was terrified and quickly sat down cross-legged, trying to circulate her spiritual energy to suppress the evil fire and calm herself down.

However, the effects of that whale glue were too overpowering, and she simply couldn't suppress it with her current level of cultivation.

The more you suppress it, the more intensely the burning sensation rebounds.

"White Night"

Cai'er could no longer maintain her usual aloofness. She collapsed limply onto the bed, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, and her unfocused eyes misted over. She cried out in her mind, pleading, "Bai Ye, I'm so hot—I feel so uncomfortable—"

Seeing Cai'er's delicate and helpless appearance, Bai Ye also felt a headache coming on.

He only thought that whale glue could temper his physique, but he underestimated the terrifying aphrodisiac side effects of this stuff.

The medicine has now fully taken effect, and there's no turning back.

"Cai'er, stay focused! This medicine is potent, but if you can withstand it, it will be extremely beneficial to your body!" Bai Ye could only reassure her with a forced smile. "Don't give up, just bear with it!"

"I—I tried my best—"

Cai'er bit her lower lip so hard that it even drew a little blood.

She was curled up in pain on the bed, her hands gripping the sheets tightly, her knuckles white from the strain.

However, this inhuman torment only lasted for ten minutes before Cai'er's sanity was on the verge of complete collapse.

"I can't take it anymore—I can't hold back!"

Cai'er suddenly jumped out of bed and stumbled towards the bathroom.

As she closed the bathroom door, she blushed and, her heart pounding, shouted at the air, "Bai Ye, you're not allowed to peek! Absolutely not!"

"Bang!" The bathroom door slammed shut.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Cold water gushed from the showerhead, pouring onto Cai'er's hot body, sending up plumes of white steam.

In the extreme clash between ice and fire, Cai'er leaned against the cold tiles, panting heavily.

She never imagined that this so-called "reward" would be so potent.

The surging desire deep within my body intertwined with the icy, bone-chilling water, creating an experience that was both an extremely cruel torture and a novel, terrifying one unlike anything I had ever experienced before.

In short, it's uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable!

Time slips away, bit by bit.

After an unknown amount of time, once the last trace of whale gelatin energy in the body was completely absorbed and integrated into the limbs and bones, the tormenting heat finally receded like a receding tide.

Due to the severe mental exhaustion and the prolonged exposure to cold water, Cai'er's vision went black and she fainted completely.

"Cai'er?"

Upon noticing the commotion in the bathroom had ceased, Bai Ye's heart tightened. He immediately materialized and pushed open the door, stepping inside.

Looking at the girl lying in the pool of water, soaking wet, Bai Ye felt a pang of heartache.

He casually grabbed a large, dry bath towel and wrapped Cai'er's slender and delicate body tightly. Then, he picked her up very gently, carried her back to the bedroom, and carefully placed her on the soft bed.

After covering her with the blanket, Bai Ye was about to leave and return to his sea of ​​consciousness.

However, as soon as he moved, he found that the hem of his clothes was being tightly gripped by a small, fair hand.

In her drowsy state, Cai'er, like a vulnerable little animal, instinctively clung to him, wrapping her arms tightly around Bai Ye's waist and burying her burning face in his chest, unconsciously murmuring, "Bai Ye—don't go—I feel so good—"

Hearing that soft, sweet murmur, Bai Ye froze completely.

He looked down at the girl in his arms, her brows slightly furrowed and her sleeping face serene, and sighed helplessly.

In the end, he did not try to get away again, but instead lay down next to Cai'er, stretched out one arm for her to rest her head on, and gently patted her back with the other hand, like soothing a baby to sleep, giving her the warmest comfort.

The next morning.

As the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room through the gap in the curtains, Cai'er's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly awoke from her slumber.

As soon as she woke up, she sensed that something was wrong.

Not only was she not wearing any clothes, but she was only wrapped in a loose bath towel, and—her whole body was like an octopus, clinging tightly to a warm and broad embrace with both arms and legs!

The absurd and shameful scene in the bathroom last night flashed through Cai'er's mind, and her pretty face turned red to the roots of her ears in an instant.

Although Bai Ye's body, in a sense, is a "clone" formed by relying on her own power, the two are originally one and of one mind, and there is no real separation between men and women.

But in Cai'er's subconscious, Bai Ye is an independent, strong, and always protective male figure!

For a fourteen-year-old girl, the impact of them embracing each other so tightly, with such a naked and honest attitude, is simply too great!

Cai'er looked up, filled with shame and indignation, only to meet a pair of deep, bright eyes with a hint of mockery.

Bai Ye had already woken up and was resting his chin on his hand, watching with great interest the colorful changes in Cai'er's expression.

"Awake?" Bai Ye raised an eyebrow.

Cai'er jerked her arms and legs away as if electrocuted, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket like a silkworm, leaving only her eyes showing. She glared at Bai Ye, embarrassed and angry: "Bai Ye! You—you don't have some strange fetish, do you?!"

Seeing the little girl who was the one who accused the villain first, Bai Ye couldn't help but chuckle.

He extended a long, slender finger and, through the blanket, precisely tapped Cai'er's smooth forehead, laughing irritably, "You little ingrate, trying to turn the tables on me, huh? Think about it yourself, who was it that clung to me so tightly last night, refusing to let me leave?"

"I----"

Cai'er felt guilty. Recalling how clingy she had been last night, she lowered her eyes shyly, her voice barely audible: "Well—I didn't mean to. You—you turn around quickly, I need to get dressed!"

"Okay, okay, I'll turn around."

Bai Ye smiled and turned around, his back to Cai'er.

I heard the rustling sound of clothes being put on behind me.

Feeling the surging power within her body, like a rushing river, after being tempered by whale gelatin, Cai'er's mood gradually calmed down.

It has to be said that the suffering she endured last night was not in vain; her physical strength has now increased by a whole level compared to before!

"I'm all dressed." Cai'er straightened her purple skirt, regaining her cool and beautiful appearance.

Bai Ye turned around, looked at the girl who had been completely transformed and whose aura was now more reserved and profound, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's go." Bai Ye's figure gradually faded, returning to Cai'er's consciousness, leaving only a light, cheerful voice echoing in the room, "Rest time is over, time to participate in the round of 16 elimination rounds. Let those geniuses see what a true assassin is!"
