Chapter 35: The First Kiss Went to a Demon Spirit!

Was this inside the so-called Dark Domain?

The Devil Sea?

But it did not seem any different?

Upon closer feeling, there was a difference. The moonlight here was whiter, softer.

It did not look like a demon realm, but more like a fairyland.

Quiet, dreamlike.

The seawater here was like a mirror, truly connecting the sea and sky.

A moment later, a luxurious large ship drifted over the sea, brightly lit.

On the bow, stood two women in palace attire, beautiful and captivating.

“Esteemed sir, are you heading to Drifting City?” a woman in palace attire asked softly.

Wuque nodded and said, “Yes.”

The woman in palace attire said, “Then please board. We are the only ship going to Drifting City.”

After saying that, a small boat was lowered from the large ship, rowing toward Wuque.

Wuque got on the small boat and then boarded the luxurious large ship.

“Sir, please show your ticket,” the woman in palace attire said.

Wuque took out a worn-out ticket from his pocket and handed it over. This ticket was several decades old.

“You have a lower-deck cabin. I’ll take you there,” the woman in palace attire said softly, then led Wuque inside the large ship.

It was bustling and lively inside, brilliantly lit, with lavish feasts and banquets.

The top deck cabins were the most expensive. Several women were performing, and dozens of guests were either wealthy or noble.

Wuque’s attire starkly contrasted with the opulence here.

Among these dozens of wealthy and noble guests, Wuque caught sight of a woman at first glance.

A voluptuous, stunningly beautiful woman.

Her beauty outshone all others, breathtakingly gorgeous.

Beside her was a man, handsome in appearance, dignified and imposing.

And that stunning woman also noticed Wuque at first glance.

Their gazes met in the air, sparking instantly, their eyes lighting up.

It was love at first sight.

It was like the meeting of golden wind and jade dew, surpassing countless worldly encounters.

Wuque also noticed that this stunning woman was dressed as a married woman, already wed.

“Sir, your cabin is on the lowest deck,” the woman in palace attire said.

Wuque followed her to the cabin on the lowest deck.

It reeked here. Over a hundred people were crammed into a tiny space, unable even to lie down straight.

It was worlds apart from the cabins on the top deck.

Wealth and poverty.

Luxury and filth.

The guests in this lowest deck cabin laughed crudely, cursed, spat indiscriminately, and even relieved themselves on the spot.

…

The next day!

Wuque went up to the deck for some air and encountered that stunningly beautiful married woman again. She climbed onto the bow and spread her arms.

“Don’t jump!”

Wuque rushed forward and grabbed her, pulling her down.

The two fell heavily onto the deck.

Two pairs of eyes quietly gazed at each other, as if tiny lightning bolts were colliding in the air.

The next second!

Wuque was seized, captured by the warriors of this married woman’s husband.

“Dare to touch my woman, seeking death!” the noble middle-aged man said coldly to Wuque. “Lock him up.”

Then, Wuque was locked inside a cabin.

After that, the husband of this stunningly beautiful married woman came every day to beat and abuse Wuque.

The exceptionally handsome Wuque was directly tortured until covered in wounds.

Three days later, this noble middle-aged man finally lost patience.

He took out a dagger and said coldly to Wuque, “How dare you touch the woman of Lord Xiaoyao, truly seeking death. First, I’ll castrate you, then roast you over fire to feed the fish. Then, I’ll gouge out your eyeballs and slice off this pretty face of yours. Let’s see how you’ll seduce others’ wives in the future.”

After saying that, he slashed his knife toward Wuque’s crotch.

“No!” the stunning woman rushed in.

Lord Xiaoyao’s dagger slipped. Wuque only felt a chill below; his manhood was still intact, but his pants were torn wide open.

“Nothing happened between us. We are innocent,” the stunning woman said sorrowfully. “My parents married me to you for the family’s great cause. You already have me.”

Lord Xiaoyao snarled, “Lin Sisi, you wretch! You dare plead for him? Still claim there’s no affair?”

The stunning woman Lin Sisi said, “Let him go. I… I’ll agree to anything. I’ll consummate the marriage with you.”

Lord Xiaoyao shouted harshly, “Before, you refused to let me touch you no matter what. Now, for this man, you agree to any condition. And you still say there’s no affair? Still claim there’s no affair?”

After saying that, he rushed over and slapped the stunning woman hard across the face.

“Wretch, you wretch!” Lord Xiaoyao knocked his wife to the ground, then tore open her clothes, intending to take her right there.

Lin Sisi struggled desperately, her knee jerking up and striking Lord Xiaoyao squarely in the crotch.

“Ah…” Lord Xiaoyao let out a pained cry, his expression instantly turning vicious.

“You wretch! How dare you injure my manhood! I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you…” Saying this, Lord Xiaoyao grabbed Lin Sisi’s neck with both hands, choking her fiercely.

The woman soon began to suffocate.

Wuque picked up a candlestick and smashed it hard against the back of Lord Xiaoyao’s neck, saving the stunning married woman.

Lord Xiaoyao, his head covered in blood, turned around and said coldly to Wuque, “You’re seeking death!”

Then, he drew his great sword and pursued Wuque madly.

Wuque was defenseless and weak. Danger quickly surrounded him, and it seemed he would die under Lord Xiaoyao’s sword.

At that moment, the stunning married woman Lin Sisi gripped her dagger and thrust it hard into Lord Xiaoyao’s back.

Then…

Lord Xiaoyao’s mouth bled. He looked in disbelief at the dagger tip protruding from his chest.

He could not even imagine in death that his gentle, meek wife had killed him.

After the killing, Lin Sisi stood dazed, the dagger slipping from her hand to the floor.

Wuque said, “We must hurry. Dispose of his body, then flee immediately.”

Next, Wuque opened the cabin window and threw Xiaoyao Hou’s body violently into the sea.

A moment later, several sharks rushed forward.

Xiaoyao Hou’s body was directly torn apart and eaten.

Then, he used a towel to wipe away all the bloodstains.

What should he do next?

Where could he escape to?

They were on a ship—no matter where he fled, it would be useless; he would be caught sooner or later.

Suddenly, Lin Sisi said, “I know a place, very, very hidden. I’ll take you there.”

After saying this, she took Wuque’s hand, avoided the crowds, and fled to the lowest level of the ship’s hold.

It turned out that the lowest cabin wasn’t actually the lowest level.

Below, there was a large drainage chamber.

The two hid inside the large drainage chamber.

The space was very small, forcing them to press closely together.

They shared their stories with each other.

This stunning young woman, Lin Sisi, came from a fallen noble family. Her parents married her off to Xiaoyao Hou for the sake of the family’s ambitions.

Xiaoyao Hou was a full twenty years older than her and had many evil habits. But because she was so beautiful, he doted on her and indulged her.

“I studied art and painting at the Scholarium. What do you do?” Lin Sisi asked.

Wuque said, “I am a lonely traveler.”

“A traveler?” Lin Sisi said softly, “Heavens, your life is so colorful. This is my first time traveling far away. I really want to see the world, to go everywhere and look around.”

Then, Lin Sisi said playfully, “You are the most handsome man I’ve ever seen. Let me paint a portrait of you.”

Next, the two opened a crack to let air flow in.

In the dim candlelight, Lin Sisi painted Wuque.

Wuque lay down, and Lin Sisi painted him.

Their eyes met again, sparking like lightning igniting fire.

Then, the two kissed.

In the time that followed, they lived an incredibly sweet life.

On the fifth day, Lin Sisi said softly, “After the ship docks, run away with me. I’ll travel the world with you, and we’ll be together for our whole lives.”

“Alright.”

But right at that moment, a loud crash echoed.

The ship struck a reef.

The ship began taking on water and started to sink.

The entire ship was like a scene of doom.

Countless people fell into the water.

Now, snow drifted from the sky, and the seawater was freezing cold.

The ship had completely sunk. Most people had already died, resting at the bottom of the sea.

Wuque and Lin Sisi clung to a wooden plank, shivering from the cold.

However, one plank couldn’t bear the weight of two people.

Wuque looked deeply at Lin Sisi and said softly, “Live on. You must live on.”

Then, he suddenly let go of the plank and sank into the sea.

Lin Sisi clung to the plank, crying hoarsely, “No, no, no… Don’t leave me alone. Don’t leave me alone.”

Wuque’s face was pale, his body stiff, not breathing, motionless, sinking toward the seafloor.

The stunning Lin Sisi looked up at the sky, tears slowly falling. “How many years, how many times… I finally got to act out the ending I wanted.”

All these years, any man who entered the Demon Spirit Sea would be dragged into this terrifying yet romantic love drama by the Demon Spirit leader, Lin Sisi, because it was her experience. But never had it been as perfect as today. Yet it was this very perfection that highlighted the tragedy of her past, the tragedy of her cruel death.

The next second!

The surrounding light swirled. The sunken ship rose to the surface once more.

Only, the bright lights were gone.

Only deep, ghostly flames remained.

The countless guests on the ship had vanished, leaving only scattered corpses.

The fine wine on the deck had turned into thick, fresh blood.

And so on and so on!

Hundreds of dishes covered dozens of tables.

Dozens of women sat in their seats, holding chopsticks, feasting heartily.

And that stunning woman, Lin Sisi, gracefully walked to the seat at the head.

Wuque was fished out from the seafloor and brought back up.

He stood in the middle of the ship’s hall.

Dozens of women around turned to him, grinning widely.

These women were completely rotted, with only a layer of skin left, their bodies full of holes.

They chewed and swallowed directly.

But they had no throats, no stomachs, and no bellies.

After swallowing, the food fell straight into their empty bodies, then dropped through the space between their legs and pelvis, scattering all over the floor.

Bizarre, terrifying, disgusting!

Lin Sisi, seated at the head, looked at Wuque and said slowly, “You acted well. You’re also the most handsome man I’ve met in recent years, so immersed in the role it felt real. Unfortunately, in reality, the final act wasn’t like this. On the contrary, that man pushed me into the sea to drown so he could survive.”

“Men in this world are no good.”

“You’re so handsome—it’s a shame to chop you up. Let’s roast you whole instead!”

With that, she waved her hand.

Immediately, several rotted skeleton women stepped forward, stripped Wuque bare, and tied him to a rack.

A green ghostly flame rose, and all the skeleton beauties in the hall began to clap and sing joyfully.

“Roast the whole man, roast the whole man…”

“Men are no good.”

“The handsomer the man, the more he deserves to die!”

These rotted skeleton women sang as they placed Wuque on the roasting rack.

Then they lit the ghostly flame, preparing to roast Wuque and eat his flesh.
