Chapter 111. No Mark
“Should I stop? Just say the word, and I’ll stop.”
Su Tang’s index finger tapped lightly against Shen Ji’s forehead. During the last mission, she had discovered that in addition to purifying those black substances, her spiritual power could even directly destroy the black mist. This method was actually easier than purification, but it was too brutal, and she hadn’t had a chance to test it yet. Shen Ji had truly made her angry.
She could understand Shen Ji’s desire to live; after all, when pushed to extreme conditions, everything a person did was to survive. Putting herself in his shoes, she didn’t think she would be any more noble than Shen Ji. But she was just that selfish; she couldn’t forgive Shen Ji so generously.
She hated that he had impulsively brought trouble to her, and she loathed even more that he had forced the things he hated and found disgusting onto Mo Xiao.
Since he wanted her to soothe him, she would satisfy him. However, she wasn’t going to exert much effort on him.
“No, don’t stop. Continue…”
Shen Ji gasped for air. He could feel that his spiritual sea was becoming somewhat unstable due to the constant rupturing of his barriers. But at the same time, the pollution mist that had tormented him for years was also dissipating. The sensation of physical comfort followed the pain.
Sure enough, she could save him…
Shen Ji looked up, his voice raspy, but mad craving reignited in his eyes.
“Continue. My word still holds. As long as you purify me, I’ll arrange things for Mo Xiao exactly as you want.”
Tsk.
He can really endure pain.
Su Tang had also experienced the feeling of her spiritual barriers being torn apart before; that kind of pain was simply agonizing. She hadn’t held back at all just now, yet he still wanted to continue. He really could endure.
Seeing that Su Tang hadn’t moved for a long time, Shen Ji even took the initiative to lean forward, pressing his forehead tightly against Su Tang’s fingertip, as if silently urging her to continue.
“Then… as you wish.”
A flash of surprise crossed Su Tang’s eyes, and she didn’t hesitate any longer. Her spiritual power surged out again, even more violently than before.
This time, she didn’t hold back. A massive amount of spiritual power surged through Shen Ji’s body once more. This time, it rushed directly into his spiritual sea, completely uprooting the long-settled pollution.
“Nn-aaah—!”
Shen Ji’s scream rang out. His body convulsed violently, and fine beads of sweat constantly poured out of him.
Shen Ji’s screams echoed in the confinement room, his body convulsing violently, fine beads of sweat soaking through his sharp dress uniform. He gritted his teeth tightly, yet he still didn’t break the contact between his forehead and Su Tang’s fingertip. Instead, like someone grabbing a last straw, he actively pressed even closer.
“Ugh… it hurts… but… it feels so good…”
Realizing that his consciousness was becoming blurred amidst the repeated grinding, Shen Ji couldn’t help but murmur.
Nearby, Xiao Yu was startled by Shen Ji’s screams and shrank into a corner, squatting there as he stared at them with gravity.
Through the visual sharing with Xiao Yu, Yasuo knew what was happening inside. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, gradually settled. He had been worried that Su Tang would suffer, but it seemed she had the upper hand. Thus, he relaxed and dealt with the Sentinels in the corridor.
“Su Tang, please… further… deeper…”
Shen Ji spoke through gasps, his body tightening from the pain, but the feeling of those burdens being swept away was simply enchanting. “Please, clear out all the rotten things… completely…”
Stay in my spiritual sea for a bit longer. If you stay a bit longer, perhaps I can also obtain her Mark…
Shen Ji lowered his eyes, suppressing the calculation within them.
He looked forward to this pain buying a deeper connection. He looked forward to Su Tang’s spiritual power leaving an imprint on his body, just as she had for Mo Xiao. Just the thought of having Su Tang’s traces on his body made Shen Ji feel his entire body beginning to tremble with excitement.
But Su Tang’s spiritual power was like a gust of wind—it came swiftly and left decisively, without a shred of lingering.
“It’s over.”
Having cleared most of the mist in Shen Ji’s spiritual sea and calculating the time, Su Tang’s fingertip snapped away from Shen Ji’s forehead without a hint of reluctance.
At the same time, the spiritual power she had dispatched to clear the pollution was rapidly withdrawn. It was so clean and quick that it was as if it had never entered his body.
Not a single thing was left behind, let alone forming a soothing Mark.
“Ugh—!”
Shen Ji couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan. His body fell backward, dropping straight onto the bed.
Inside his body, the pain from the pollution values that had always burdened him was greatly reduced, but it was followed by an even stronger sense of emptiness.
That empty feeling swept through his limbs in an instant, gradually spreading through his entire body.
His spiritual sea was empty, his whole body was empty. The spiritual power in his nerves couldn’t help but roam freely, trying to find proof that Su Tang had once been inside his body. But no matter how it searched, it couldn’t find a single trace left behind.
“You…” Shen Ji looked up, his face pale, his hair soaked with sweat and clinging to his temples. The obsession in his eyes faded, replaced only by a thick sense of confusion and emptiness. “Why… didn’t you leave a bit…”
Su Tang straightened her sleeves, her movements composed and her face without a hint of emotion.
“I only agreed to purify you. I didn’t agree to anything else.”
A Sentinel’s spiritual sea was an extremely private domain. Even though she was clearing pollution for him rather than purifying, staying any longer would still carry the risk of a Mark. She had no intention of marking Shen Ji, and she certainly didn’t plan to leave such a time bomb on him. If she had stayed longer, what if a Mark actually formed?
If this fellow used that to threaten her for more things in the future…
She didn’t like leaving hidden dangers for herself.
“Your pollution values are now within the safe range; they could even be rated as ‘Good.’ According to our agreement, I hope you’ll give me a reasonable outcome regarding Mo Xiao.”
Mo Xiao, Mo Xiao. She was mentioning Mo Xiao in front of him again.
Shen Ji suppressed the displeasure rising in his heart. The constant emptiness in his body made him increasingly irritable.
“I know. Is he the only thing you can talk about?”
“Otherwise, what else do we have to talk about?”
