Di Tian sat in a tent with a table and map, looking at the marching route of the army; he was not satisfied with his troops' performance. Nevertheless, they could still get the job done and activate his token.
'I still need good Generals to counter Li Jun and Tie Gang.'
Before the destruction of the Sleepers, he knew of these two troops–especially of Tie Gang's Undying Legion. However, back then, he cared only a little for a General and their troops since he did not think they would become that important. So, he only asked his Sleepers to keep their eyes on them and infiltrate their ranks if possible.
'All that work, gone in an instant.' Di Tian was still mad about that tremendous loss. Although he has rebuilt the Sleepers, they were nothing compared to their past selves.
While planning the next attack, he suddenly sensed something in the distance. 'Someone trying to lure me?' He sneered before walking out of the tent, heading in the direction he felt something.
Di Tian paused as he saw a beautiful woman bathing in the light of the moon, gazing at the sky. The tree next to her shaded from the freezing cold of the night wind, guarding her like an eternal protector.
"So perfect," he muttered under his breath, mesmerized by her aura. "Ning'er, is that you?" After leaving his seal, he tried to find her again, but to no avail.
"I thought you did not want to see me."
"I didn't want to, but here I am," replied Qiao Ning. Di Tian walked before her, holding her warm hand. He hesitantly raised his hand to caress her cheek–they were the same as he remembered, the exact same face he longed for.
"Something seems wrong. You seem weaker than when I last saw you."
Qiao Ning sighed out loud, "I did not want to tell you, but I don't have much time left."
"Your disappearing? I should have expected this; whatever obsession keeps you tethered to this mortal coil would not last forever."
"A sad truth, regrettably," replied Qiao Ning as she also caressed his face. "Before I leave, I wanted to see you one last time. To spent—" She blushed, which in fact, accentuated her perfect beauty. "One last night of passion."
"I cannot remember the last time I saw you so embarrassed," Di Tian stated with the most brilliant smile on his hundred million years of life.
"Don't make fun of me; you know I get shy."
"That's true." He gently kissed her, feeling the loss sensation of his youth; the last time he stroked her lips, he was nothing but a young, passionate, and arrogant late with no fear of the world and boundless hope and ambition for the future.
Di Tian waved his hand to isolate the surrounding area and clean the ground. Then, they took off their clothes and lost themselves in the bosom of passion, thrusting themselves into the abyss of longing. Their lust and passion lasted more than five hours before ending.
Di Tian stood up from the floor before slowly putting his clothes on; he did not rush or use spells or techniques to place them on magically. Once he finished, he turned around to look at Ning'er on the floor.
With a calm gaze, he watched as black smoke emanated from her body. He sighed.
"H-How did you know?" Lust could not believe she had failed twice in a row–especially when she reached so far with Di Tian.
"Longing is one of the most powerful things that exist," stated Di Tian calmly. "One time, I missed her so much that I began to dabble in Illusion to see her again. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, I could not recreate her.
"But you succeeded. I don't know how exactly, but you turned into my Ning'er."
He guessed she could reproduce things perfectly from his mind, but he was not entirely sure.
"If so, how did you know?" she asked, pain expressed all over her face.
"When I touched you and felt the warmth of your hand; when I sensed your heartbeat and the vitality in your face, I knew you were alive. I knew even the Ning'er Spirit was incapable of recreating such vividness."
Lust wanted to scream; she again failed because of such a ridiculous thing.
'No, not ridiculous: it's love. Something I always disdained as a Lust Devil.' Her life was always about unbridled and unrestrained passion, so the concept of love to her was nothing but a human emotion that she believed many species let themselves be slaved to.
"If you knew it was me, why did you bed me?" she asked as many parts of her body had dissipated.
"I am a very lonely man. After so many years, I could not resist the temptation," replied Di Tian, gazing directly into her eyes.
"Don't you feel any remorse? You've betrayed the woman you claim to love, the woman you supposedly would do anything for."
"I do feel remorseful. And when I see her again, I will confess my sin, and she will forgive me. After all, I am only human, and to err is part of my nature."
"Hahahahaaha," laughed Lust in a deranged voice. "You men are all the same. After getting what you want, you make all kinds of excuses."
Lust wanted to scream, plead, or even throw a tantrum. However, she was too feeble to do anything else as most of her body was gone. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
