The Ethereal Domains-Chapter 56: Take Off Your Clothes

Take Off Your Clothes . . .

"Fine! I will do it!" Wen-Ren Chu-Chu gritted her teeth, her voice trembling with determination. She had made a resolute decision, and as she raised her head, her cold, fierce eyes locked onto Cha-Eun Xiao's face. She spoke firmly, "Brother Feng, if you are telling the truth, we will absolutely honor our agreement. I won't cause any trouble for you... I will treat you with the utmost respect, like a forefather... But..."

She clenched her teeth, her voice turning ominous, "But if you deceive me and take advantage of me, Cha-Eun Xiao, you should be aware that there are circumstances in this world that can only be described as... 'begging for death'!"

Her words were delivered with a chilling intensity.

Cha-Eun Xiao felt a pang of irritation and retorted coldly, "Do you really think I would risk my life just to touch your belly? Who do you think you are?"

He squinted at her face and muttered, "You seem to have an exceedingly high opinion of yourself..."

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu's anger surged, her chest rising and falling rapidly, and her teeth clenched unconsciously. She fixed Cha-Eun Xiao with a fierce, hate-filled glare.

"What are you staring at?" Cha-Eun Xiao snapped. "Are you going through with this or not? Make your decision!"

"...I will do it," Wen-Ren Chu-Chu forced out through clenched teeth.

"So you want to be cured. Then get prepared," Cha-Eun Xiao said impatiently. "Instruct your guards to secure the area outside this room. Close all the windows. Ensure absolute privacy. What are you waiting for?"

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu remained motionless, as if rooted to the spot.

"What are you thinking? Hurry up and make the arrangements," Cha-Eun Xiao urged, growing perplexed. "Come back inside once you're done with the preparations. Let's begin promptly. The sooner we start, the sooner it's over... Why are you still standing there?"

Gritting her teeth, Wen-Ren Chu-Chu took a deep breath and suddenly rushed out of the room.

After a while, the guards' voices echoed, stating that the entire property would be sealed off immediately.

"All paths within 150 meters of the property will be blocked. No one is allowed to approach. Anyone who attempts to will be dealt with swiftly!"

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu completed the preparations and, after a brief pause, returned to the room, her head lowered and her body trembling.

"Is everything ready?" Cha-Eun Xiao inquired.

"It's done," Wen-Ren Chu-Chu replied, her voice quivering.

"Let's get started then. What are you waiting for?" Cha-Eun Xiao squinted, a hint of impatience in his tone. "Take off your clothes!"

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu's body shivered, and her face paled. She gazed at Cha-Eun Xiao with the vulnerability of a helpless deer. Her fear and helplessness were palpable.

Cha-Eun Xiao tidied the bed and turned away, giving her privacy. When he looked back, he saw her still standing there, and he furrowed his brow. "What's the matter? Do you want to be cured or not? If you do, then remove your clothes... You seem fine with wasting time here, but I've been missing for over a day now. My family must be worried. I need to return as soon as possible. Let's finish the treatment swiftly so I can leave. Why are you so sentimental? You appeared to be a decisive person. What's come over you?"

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu was undoubtedly stronger than the man standing before her, but she felt like a sacrificial lamb, overwhelmed by fear and helplessness. Until now, whether at home or within her sect, she had never had any interaction with men. Even her hands had never been touched by anyone else.

It was entirely unexpected that during her journey in the Kingdom of Chen, she would be touched numerous times, and now, she was faced with the prospect of exposing her naked body to a stranger she had only met the day before.

The harrowing ordeal had nearly pushed her to the brink of fainting!

With slow, trembling hands, she reached for her waist, but her courage faltered when it came time to untie the sash...

Cha-Eun Xiao couldn't hide his frustration any longer. He was growing increasingly weary of this delay.

"I truly don't understand why girls make such a fuss about this and take forever just to remove some clothes. I mean, it only takes a second, right? Just get it over with... You can take all the time you want, but I can't afford to waste any!" He couldn't help but voice his exasperation. "Can't you just do it like I do – quick and done? It's just taking off some clothes. You do it every night before you sleep, don't you? Is it really that difficult for you?"

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu felt a mixture of shame and anger. She retorted with indignation, "I am a girl!"

"Of course, you're a girl. I know that, and you don't need to keep emphasizing it. Guys would never dilly-dally like this. But don't girls take off their clothes?" Cha-Eun Xiao squinted and said with disdain, "All you need to do to save your life is take off your clothes. I don't understand why you're hesitating. Are you alright? Are your clothes so complex that you can't remove them on your own? If that's the case, you should have let me know so I could assist you!"

The idea of him helping seemed to strike a nerve with Wen-Ren Chu-Chu.

"You want to help me?" She gritted her teeth fiercely.

Confronted with an unromantic fellow who seemed to know nothing about a girl's feelings, Wen-Ren Chu-Chu found herself at a loss for words. This man was utterly oblivious to a girl's sense of modesty.

"Do you really think it's about whether I know how to take off my clothes or not?" She thought bitterly. "It's about whether I can or cannot, okay?!"

"I can't even imagine what kind of upbringing he had. He's such a weirdo!" Wen-Ren Chu-Chu mused, perplexed.

If she had known that Cha-Eun Xiao was living his second life and had deliberately avoided any involvement with girls in his previous life due to his martial arts training, she would have been even more baffled.

Cha-Eun Xiao, in his past life, had been a virgin due to his martial arts cultivation. He had always kept his distance from girls, understanding that getting involved with one could lead to severe complications. This had left him well-informed about many things but entirely clueless about romantic matters.

"You... Turn around, please," Wen-Ren Chu-Chu blushed.

"You're quite the troublemaker," Cha-Eun Xiao sighed. He didn't speak much after that and simply turned around.

There was a rustling of clothes behind him, and after a while, silence fell. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

But time seemed to drag on, and Cha-Eun Xiao still heard no movement from her. His frown deepened, and he couldn't contain his impatience. "Are you finished? Can you do it or not?"

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu was on the verge of wanting to kick him, but she quivered as she made her request, "Alright. Give me your... Give me your hand..."

"Women are so complicated," Cha-Eun Xiao sighed to himself. With his back still turned to her, he extended his hand toward her.

As he did, he felt a smaller, trembling hand guide his own. It was as if that hand was struggling to maintain its grip on his.

After a while, he sensed warmth drawing nearer. Perhaps his hand was approaching a warm object.

Then, in the next moment, his hand came into contact with warm, smooth, and almost ethereal skin.

The warmth enveloping his hand was simply exquisite!

In that instant, Cha-Eun Xiao felt something deep within him stir, and an indescribable sensation washed over him.

A surge of desire coursed through him, compelling him to keep his hand in that place indefinitely. It was as though his body had become weightless, suspended in mid-air.

The next moment, amid the extraordinary softness, he caught a whiff of the unmistakable scent of a girl's body. Suddenly, he felt lost in an intoxicating reverie, as if he were drifting in a dream.

Behind him, the body he touched trembled, and Wen-Ren Chu-Chu spoke with a trembling voice, "You... You... Why don't you begin..."

Cha-Eun Xiao seemed to snap out of his stupor abruptly and looked astonished. He muttered, "You temptress, how dare you distract my thoughts. I am going to channel my martial arts against you!"

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu's body trembled not out of weakness but from the natural trepidation of a virgin girl exposed before a man. However, she couldn't help but find it amusing that Cha-Eun Xiao appeared even more terrified than she did. "It's only natural for me, as a girl, to feel fear in this situation. What are you, a man, afraid of? What do you think I could do to you in this state? Given the circumstances, what could I possibly do?"

Especially when she heard the words "You temptress, how dare you distract me," she couldn't help bursting into laughter. "It seems... this Master Feng isn't pretending; he genuinely knows very little."

She continued, "What are you muttering about? Stop the nonsense and begin already!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a surge of scorching power emanating from Master Feng's palm. This power was immense and irresistible, surging into her dantian.

This unparalleled and unfamiliar power was something even Wen-Ren Chu-Chu, the top disciple of the most prestigious sect in the Qing-Yun Realm, was utterly unfamiliar with.

This unheard-of mystical power felt like a flame capable of searing one's very soul.

"Is this the Purple Sky-fire?" she thought.

It was utterly unbelievable!

Instead of excruciating pain, as she had anticipated, she felt an incredibly comfortable sensation spreading throughout her body. It was a profound, soul-deep comfort that overwhelmed her. Even though Wen-Ren Chu-Chu was typically composed and level-headed, this extraordinary sensation was too much for her to handle, and an unintentional moan escaped her lips.

"Ahh~~~"

Ye-Cha Xiao heard it and shivered. He snapped angrily, "Seductress! Don't make such provocative sounds..."

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment, her body growing warm from the loss of control that led to that involuntary moan. Then, she heard Ye-Cha Xiao's enticing words and decided to indulge a little further. In a voice she would never have imagined using, she replied suggestively, "Is this the Purple Sky-fire? It's absolutely incredible!"

Ye-Cha Xiao, a virgin throughout both of his lives, felt a profound sense of loss. This was the first time he had ever experienced such a soft and tender moment. Overwhelmed by emotions, he panicked as he struggled to maintain his scattered thoughts. But, he managed to continue channeling his qi...
