Chapter 89: The Price of Desire

His whole body stiffened.

Yenir silently slid Yan Yuqing’s small hand from under his belly and tossed it aside.

Although he didn’t mind sacrificing himself for humanity, there had to be a price. Otherwise, what if they got it for free?

He—a divine prodigy and the hope of the Huaxia Battle Zone—could make history just by sharing his bed!

“Uh… why did you run off…”

Whether it was the effect of some gadget or fate, Yan Yuqing slowly opened her eyes and in her blurred vision saw Yenir’s conflicted expression.

Sobered up considerably, she gazed at Yenir’s profile and suddenly burst into a dazed smile.

“Still as handsome as ever…”

“You’re so cute…”

In her eyes, under a dim, cool light, the eighteen‐year‐old Yenir looked like an exquisite porcelain doll, his handsome face and long lashes belying a hint of sorrow, as if he dared not ‘defy’ her while quietly enduring.

Coupled with the unmistakable aura of a Willpower Type awakener, he exuded a dangerously seductive charm.

With a swift tug, Yan Yuqing lowered herself onto Yenir; her mouth slightly agape, her parched lips appearing irresistibly inviting.

Meeting the girl’s assertive gaze, Yenir felt a stirring in his heart and instantly realized the exact flavor this little miss enjoyed.

A spoiled and caged young lady, she actually preferred taking the lead, relishing the role of the dominant one.

As they say, compensate for what’s lacking. In her world, strength was never in short supply; Yenir’s initial display of restraint only sparked a fierce desire in her to conquer.

At that moment, a flash of stubborn determination and hidden endurance flickered in Yenir’s eyes as he weakly pushed her away with his right hand.

“Miss Yan, you’ve had too much to drink…”

“Rest for now…”

It felt as though his heart had been struck down in an instant.

Propped against Yenir, Yan Yuqing paused, finding the stubborn yet proud youth impossibly enticing—every gesture, every expression hitting all the right spots.

All her rationality shattered.

She simply couldn’t hold back any longer…

Unable to resist, the girl bit down on his thin lips without hesitation, clutching Yenir’s neck as if granted permission.

She entwined herself around him greedily.

Soft, labored breaths soon filled the room as an enticing atmosphere took over.

Feeling the unmistakable stirrings of passion in the girl, Yenir sighed internally. ‘Who would willingly deceive a little girl if not for some Credit Points…’

“Miss Yan…”

“Uh… please, don’t… like this…”

“I’ve got a mission outside the city tomorrow… and I still need to earn money at home…”

Resisting softly, Yenir shoved the girl away, wiping away a glistening trace from the corner of his mouth, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

After such an intense kiss, Yan Yuqing, stunned from being pushed away, blushed as she looked up at Yenir in disapproval.

Her chest heaved rapidly, clearly dissatisfied.

Then, in a flash of impulsiveness:

Recalling the swagger of her older brother’s crew, she nonchalantly pulled an ID Card from her hot pants and tossed it onto the bed.

Fixing her unwavering gaze on Yenir, one hand instinctively slid toward his lower belly:

“This one’s all yours…”

“You don’t have to go tomorrow..! I… I can take care of you!”

With that, she dove back onto Yenir, planting clumsy yet enamored kisses.

Those in power often act without thinking—and that saying applies to women as well.

Especially during their first intimate encounter with the opposite sex. Like a cat tasting meat for the first time, she found the sensation overwhelmingly delightful, wanting nothing more than to meld completely with the one beneath her.

Glancing at the discarded ID Card, Yenir silently calculated its remaining Credit Points.

Watching the girl writhe in discomfort on him, he boldly slipped his right hand along the edge of her hot pants.

…………

…………

……….

He simply ruffled her hair.

Meanwhile, Yan Yuqing, unaccustomed to such stimulation, shivered all over; the delicate form pinned against Yenir suddenly went limp.

Like a lamb struck by electricity, her entire body trembled uncontrollably.

“Mmm…”

Soft, deer-like murmurs escaped her as waves of tingling sensations spread from her toes, up along her waist, to the top of her head. Her once dreamy eyes now seemed on the verge of tears as she clutched Yenir’s shirt.

“No… mmm mmm…”

“No… really?”

In a swift change of offense and defense, Yenir regarded Yan Yuqing’s whimpering face with a mischievous chuckle. Having taken down countless zombies, he knew human anatomy inside out—exactly where the weak points were and how to quickly dismantle one’s resolve.

Bending toward the girl lying on his leg, Yenir asked innocently:

“Sis… are you sure you don’t want it?”

“Sis, you seem so uncomfortable… can’t you handle it?”

Smack!

At his words, Yan Yuqing, panting heavily, looked up defiantly at Yenir. Her right hand clutched his as her moist eyes seemed to spell out ‘Devour’.

She couldn’t fathom how she ended up being overpowered—how could that be? She was supposed to be the one in control!

A few seconds later, summoning all her scant knowledge, she boldly straddled him.

With eyes forced into a mask of calm and competence, she pounced once more.

……..

The next day, near noon.

After donning his gear, Yenir expressionlessly retrieved an ID Card from beside the bed and slipped it into his pocket.

Looking at Yan Yuqing lying on the bed like a puddle of mud, he shook his head in silent exasperation.

What a mess…

Yet after a few shakes, she simply couldn’t hold out any longer.

A single hand was all it took—even though he had mentally prepared for much longer.

Glancing at a few miscellaneous props under the bed, Yenir hesitated but chose not to take them. They looked valuable, but he planned to wait for a bigger catch. Even if he might not need them, his performance today gave him confidence he could consume her entirely.

After all, as the daughter of the Starbright Merchant Guild, securing a deal worth hundreds of thousands of Credit Points wouldn’t be a problem. Some hard-to-find materials and gear might even depend on her.

Wearing the camouflage gear that Li Dafu had bought at a high price, Yenir soon transformed from a boyish figure into an ordinary young man. Under the guise of the gear, he appeared nondescript—a blank slate at best.

The price he’d paid sent a stab of regret through him.

Such gear, offering no bonuses yet sold so expensively! Damn it—if the Farming Team is truly tracking me, I’ll make sure they spit out every last bone to cover my losses!

“Whoa!”

Opening the window, Yenir took a quick look before leaping out like a fish, landing in an empty parking lot.

Chen Yong’s gear had already been traded over, and in one day his skills would cool down completely.

Compared to previous dungeons, for this high-level one Yenir planned to get there early to prepare, just in case.

……

Hours later, amid a series of knocking sounds, Yan Yuqing was abruptly awakened.

“Miss! Miss, are you alright?”

Hearing shouts outside, she furrowed her brows in annoyance. But when she glanced beside her, she realized Yenir had long since left.

Momentarily stunned and recalling the frenzy of the previous night, a flush of heat spread instantly from her neck to her face.

Seeing her bare, exposed body, she finally came to her senses.

“That was insane… How could I have been so crazy?”

Muttering to herself, after ordering her subordinates to scram, Yan Yuqing sat on the bed hugging her knees, an inexplicable sadness creeping into her heart.

And just like that… he was gone…

He didn’t even wait for me to wake up… not even to say goodbye…

Always cherished and never wanting for anything, she suddenly felt an emptiness in her heart.
