Chapter 178 – Bad Influence
Unlike the Capital, Chengdu was peaceful.
The streets were full of people and shops, and the air was refreshing. There was a sense of freedom and joy that couldn't be found in other cities.
And because the Hallowed Insect's base was located near the red light district, fun atmosphere was everywhere.
The people here were different. They didn't care about status or fame, and they worked hard to survive and earn money.
Yue Yue was happy here. She was not a social butterfly, but she felt comfortable. And because the atmosphere was familiar, she didn't feel out of place.
Not only that, she had kind people looking out for her.
Anya was... a bit loud but she taught her a lot. The blonde assassin was always smiling and kind, not even once she got angry even when Yue Yue made a mistake.
And Astrid was also nice. She didn't force her to talk, and she always checked up on her. She even gave her a small dagger and told her to protect herself. Sometimes she also brought her some sweet snacks and asked her about her day.
Yue Yue was grateful for that.
Her life was rough and tiring before she met Leo. She was sold by her parents to a brothel, and the treatment was harsh and cruel.
However, there was something that she wasn't used to. Everyday, the Leader would be accompanied by different girls at night. They seemed to take turns sleeping in his quarter, and Yue Yue couldn't help but wonder why.
When she asked that question, Astrid blushed and waved her hands.
"N-No no no, you're too little to know that!"
Upon seeing her reaction, Yue Yue knew that it was something adult. But, she was curious. Why did Astrid have such an innocent question?
Then it came to her.
"A-Astrid... A-Are you a virgin?"
An innocent question that made the girl's face flushed red.
"N-No, of course not! I have experience!"
Astrid's eyes were wide and her hands were trembling. She couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth.
As a former Peng Clan's princess, she had a strange pride that didn't allow her to admit her inexperience. Even though she was a virgin, she was too stubborn and strong-headed.
And because she was a senior, she didn't want her junior to look down on her.
"Everyday, I helped Leader to... clean his bed. Compared to the others, he likes me the most and sometimes we even had a chat. We have a close relationship, and he always makes sure that I am happy. And I am the one who teaches others how to please men in bed! I have been doing this for years!"
"O-Oh. Then, that's great. So, you have a special relationship with the Leader. That's amazing, Astrid."
Seeing a gaze filled with respect directed to her, Astrid puffed her chest proudly.
"H-Hmph! Of course! He likes me the most. I am his favorite!"
"That's right. The Leader is very kind."
"Right?! I will teach you more about him. So, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!"
"Thank you. C-Can you answer me now?"
"Of course, what do you want to know?"
After hearing that, Yue Yue bowed, her eyes sincere and bright. She was fidgeting, and her voice was trembling.
"Um... What kind of position does Leader like?"
"Position?"
"Y-Yes, the position he likes in bed. H-he takes me from the front with his b-big penis. Aaah, t-that was so embarrassing. When he took my virginity, I fainted and squirted. I wanted to bury myself in the ground, but he hugged me and comforted me. He said I did a good job, and I didn't have to worry about it. So, I was relieved."
As someone who grew up in a whore house, a sex topic was normal for Yue Yue. She had listened a lot to the conversations between the girls and their clients, and she knew the ins and outs of the matter.
But the same case couldn't be said for Astrid. She grew up in a sheltered life, and her knowledge about sex was limited. She knew the basics, but she didn't have a lot of experience.
Forget about experience, she was so innocent that listening to someone talking about their sex life made her blush.
"Oh... That's..." She was speechless, unsure how to respond. "The Leader is a gentle and caring lover, so he's probably doing his best not to hurt his partners. B-But I heard that he's a beast! A-And he can do it with anyone. So, he must be really experienced and confident."
"Ah, that's right."
"Well, you don't have to worry. He takes care of his bed buddies, so you will be fine. I-In fact, he likes it when you ask him questions and try to understand him. I-I remember that time when I was too embarrassed to speak, and he teased me, saying that I was cute. But, he was kind and never pressured me."
Something incomprehensible was rising up inside her, and her hands were shaking. Her face was red, and she felt like she was about to burst.
"A-And also, Anya said that Leader likes his partner to be tied up! She told me that he always uses a blindfold and handcuffs. And, his penis is big! A-Almost as big as a horse. Anya is a tough one, and she can take it, but sometimes I was worried about her."
"R-Right! My stomach is bulging when his penis is inside me. B-But that felt so good and amazing. He made sure to prep me first, and he didn't do anything that hurt me. I was so happy. Oh, and his penis was hot and wet, so I didn't have any problem with him. H-His semen is also delicious."
A gulp could be heard from her throat. She was sweating and her heart was racing. She had never talked about her sex life before, and the idea was strangely exciting.
For some reason, Yue Yue imagined herself getting tied up, with a blindfold, and then Leo's cock penetrating her. Her senses were concentrating on the sensation, and her body was hot.
Now she felt her crotch tingling, and her legs were trembling.
"Um, Astrid. Thank you for your help." She nodded, her eyes were hazy and her mouth was drooling. "I will do my best not to disappoint the Leader. I-I will try to make him have fun right now!"
She bowed and turned away, walking slowly.
"W-Wait! What are you doing?"
"I will give him a special service. Like a present or a reward. He has been working hard, and he needs some relaxation."
Without looking back, Yue Yue went to the second floor where the housing was. She knocked on Leo's room and entered without waiting for his response.
Leo was sitting at his desk, reading a book. His eyes widened when he saw her enter, and he stood up, surprised.
"Do you need something, Yue Yue?" Find your next read at empire
"Yes! I-I would like to... umm, I learned something from Astrid and want you to... um..."
She couldn't finish her sentence, but she was determined.
"I want you to tie me! And, u-use a blindfold. I-I will be a good girl and obey you. You can do whatever you want with me, Master. Just, don't hurt me, please."
"Huh?"
Leo was confused. He blinked, unsure what the girl was talking about. Then, he heard fast footsteps moving toward his room before Astrid's face popped out. She was panting for breath and extended her hand.
"No, no, no, no! Leader, this is not what it looks like! She just..."
"Ah, A-Astrid. I-I am sorry. I forgot to ask your permission. U-Umm... Y-You're Leader's favorite, so you should be the one giving him service. I-I'm not his bed buddy, and I'm not qualified. S-Sorry"
Yue Yue was blushing furiously, and her gaze was on the ground.
Now Leo understood everything. He closed his book and sighed, looking at Astrid with a gentle gaze.
"I see. So, you've been talking about me and teaching her things." A smirk formed on his lips, and his tone was playful. "You can't blame her for that, Astrid. She's curious, and I guess it's my fault. I spent too much time with her."
"W-What? Huh? No, Leader. I didn't do anything! It was all her own initiative. I-I didn't tell her anything about that. S-She just wanted to learn!"
"No, no, no. I know you've been teaching her many things, and I am happy that you did. However, I am still your Leader. I have the responsibility to listen to what you've been teaching her."
"U-Um, nothing. I've not taught her anything."
"Now, Astrid. The last time you tried to lie, your eyes were swimming around. Like... right now."
"Uh..."
Astrid's gaze was moving from left to right and her feet were shuffling.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"You're a bad liar, Astrid. Now, you know what to do, right?"
Grunting, Astrid approached him, her head lowered. Her face flushed red, and her hands were shaking.
"L-Leader, p-please forgive me. I-I'm not used to talking about those things. I-It's embarrassing, and I-I..."
"It's okay." He patted her head, his eyes warm and understanding. "You did a good job, Astrid. Don't worry, you're not in trouble."
"R-Really?"
"Yes. In fact, I want you to continue teaching Yue Yue. She's new, and you're her senior. I trust you to help her a lot. You're a smart girl, and I am glad that you're working hard. But don't teach her something you shouldn't. Especially by lying."
Astrid couldn't help but blush and nod. She felt a bit ashamed for lying and being caught, but she was glad that the Leader wasn't angry.
"Um, I'm sorry, Leader. I will teach her correctly."
"Good." He nodded and smiled, turning his gaze to Yue Yue. "Now, you shouldn't trust Astrid 100% too. She's a little mischievous, and she might pull pranks on you. Also, if you are unsure about what she teaches you, you can ask Jessica or Chiaki. At least they won't lie to you."
Yue Yue giggled, understanding what he was implying.
"Don't worry, Leader. I will be careful and do my best."
"Very well. Now, go and play. I am still busy getting the last prep ready for the attack. We will leave tomorrow."
With that, Yue Yue and Astrid nodded and left the room, closing the door behind them.
They could hear Leo chuckling and sighing.
"How can she pull such a prank on Yue Yue? Ah, kids these days. I have to keep an eye on her. She's learning too fast."
Leo couldn't help but feel a bit worried. He didn't think Astrid was bad, but her mischievous personality and innocent nature was something he couldn't ignore. She was influenced by Anya too much that she became such a prankster.
"Anyway, the Murim Alliance's movement is a bit worrying."
Since Xue Wang met him in the Capital, the Murim Alliance began to gather their strength again. This time, they chose to strengthen their defenses, putting guards in important places that made the Outcast group have a hard time attacking.
"They adapted to our strategy. But, they couldn't find us since we're not in the city. We have to strike them before they can fully recover. This time, the Hallowed Insect will launch an all-out attack. But how?"
Sheng hadn't made any progress with his preparation, and Leo couldn't think of anything else to start the attack.
The only idea he had was to gather more information, which was easier said than done. The Murim Alliance began to keep everything under the wrap, probably with the help of the remaining of Supreme Evil's followers. They were pretty good at hiding.
"This is troublesome."
At least if Emperor Sheng finished his preparation, he could begin his attack in earnest. But the Emperor was too busy dealing with internal and external issues, and Leo didn't know if he had the time or resources.
"We have to wait and see. There's nothing we can do."
Unless there was something or someone who could help him, he couldn't think of a way.
In the morning, Leo received unexpected news.
"Murim Alliance's leader has changed?"
