Chapter 488 - 460: Compromising Step by Step

The Beauty Clan Leader’s captivating eyes widened slightly, her long lashes trembling gently, yet they couldn’t hide the grief and humiliation deep within. The luxurious robe she wore did not add a touch of nobility; instead, it seemed like an ironically heavy shackle wrapped around her, highlighting at this moment her...

Helplessness?

Yes.

Though she was a Clan Leader, her knowledge mostly came from books within the clan, and she had never experienced such things.

Thus, she could not face it.

Sleek black hair swayed softly in the wind, each strand seemingly telling an indescribable tale of sorrow and humiliation.

Such a peerless beauty, appearing now like a painting steeped in sadness, evoking an involuntary sense of pity from all who beheld it.

In response to the Beauty Clan Leader’s stern rebuke, Qin Yu pretended not to hear, continuing to step closer to her.

"I told you, do not come any closer!"

The Beauty Clan Leader’s voice carried a subtle hint of panic.

What did this guy mean?

How dare he approach her so brazenly, without even pretending?!

A stubborn glint shone in the Beauty Clan Leader’s eyes.

No, she wouldn’t give in!

"If that’s the case, I’ll just go find Jiujiu."

Qin Yu understood instantly, his tone was calm, yet laced with a hint of threat.

"You... cannot!"

Upon hearing this, the Beauty Clan Leader’s gaze shifted, her expression showing even more humiliation.

Faced with such blatant threats, her pride lay shattered.

Qin Yu offered her a way out.

She... no longer resisted.

This was not what she wanted, nor was it because her realm loosened faster when in contact with Qin Yu, but because she was being threatened.

She was being coerced.

Qin Yu naturally took her delicate jade hand, the cool and soft touch sending a shiver through him.

In every sense—visually, tactilely, and spiritually—he felt immensely gratified and struck.

The fire within him burned ever brighter.

Yet the Beauty Clan Leader turned her head in humiliation, a few strands of her black hair falling upon her fair neck, adding a shade of melancholy.

This scoundrel!

He always used Tu Jiujiu to threaten her!

To protect the future of the Qingqiu Fox Race, as the Clan Leader, she had no choice but to endure such humiliation.

She seemed more like a puppet being manipulated, much like a flower blooming in the mud, its unmatched beauty ready to be spoiled.

She wanted to escape.

But she couldn’t stop worrying about Tu Jiujiu, her lone heart enduring such immense torment.

Aside from the resistant mentality, the Beauty Clan Leader vaguely understood why the Great Yan Empress allowed Qin Yu to approach.

Even... permitted the contact.

No wonder that little fox always liked getting close to Qin Yu.

Right now, the Beauty Clan Leader’s heart was extremely complex, both resistant and slightly... enjoying?

However, due to her lack of resistance, this guy became even more presumptuous.

Qin Yu was no longer satisfied with merely holding hands and began slowly... playing.

Her jade-like hand was long and symmetrical, with clearly defined joints yet maintaining gentle elegance, resembling a newly blossomed orchid, exuding a faint, refined aroma. Her skin was fair and delicate, pure as fresh snow, with a gentle luster reminiscent of morning dew on young leaves, fresh and vibrant.

Her nails were neat and smooth, tinged with a soft pink as if they were meticulously crafted works of art. With a gentle touch, one could feel an indescribable smoothness and warmth, like a spring breeze brushing across a lake, bringing an elusive sense of coolness and comfort.

Qin Yu’s breathing began to change as well.

"You... don’t go too far!"

The Beauty Clan Leader obviously noticed his change too, her voice cold but tinged with a slight tremor.

This guy, after touching, acted as if he wanted to... swallow her whole.

So frightening for a fox!

Qin Yu did not insist, instead, adopting a serious expression, "In that case, I will..."

"No way!"

Before he finished speaking, the Beauty Clan Leader interrupted directly.

She bit her lip tightly, glaring angrily at this wagging-tailed guy.

Despicable and shameless!

Her eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness, even a hint of tears welled up.

Why did she compromise again and again?

Of course, it was because of Tu Jiujiu!

She had already been bullied like this, if Tu Jiujiu got hurt too, wouldn’t it all be in vain?!

Absolutely not.

"I haven’t even said what I would do."

Qin Yu appeared innocent.

Yet, he still held her small hand, unwilling to let go.

It must be said, this kind of role-playing had a unique charm.

Especially witnessing such a noble Beauty Clan Leader showing such an expression was truly captivating.

The Beauty Clan Leader’s eyes widened, her delicate body trembling with anger, she softly reprimanded, "What exactly do you want?!"

"Does anything I want go?"

Facing the humiliated Beauty Clan Leader, Qin Yu increasingly felt his actions were... absurd.

Yet he couldn’t stop.

Actually, he could sense that these past few days, though this beauty continued to act very resistant, she was already passively accepting from the second time.

Indeed, Qin Yu was coercive.

But with her cultivation and status, was compromise really her only option?

Clearly not.

Qin Yu’s increasingly excessive behavior was actually slowly breaking down her psychological defenses.

As everyone knows.

Once you start to compromise, you will continue to compromise.

Because the sunk cost increases slowly, if resisted, refused, wouldn’t the previous costs be in vain?!

What Qin Yu was doing now was increasing her sunk costs.

Of course.

She is willing to compromise, partly because of Tu Jiujiu.

Have to admit it.

She really is a great sister!

"How dare you!"

Such flirty words made the Beauty Clan Leader recall scenes she had secretly seen in recent days, especially when thinking about Yan Yu’s experiences, a chill ran down her spine.

She could never accept that kind of...

Humiliation!

Qin Yu suddenly reached out and gently gripped the soft, fair chin of the Beauty Clan Leader, the scent overwhelmed him, and looking at her slightly bitten lips, he couldn’t help but lean down slowly.

At the moment her chin was lifted, the Beauty Clan Leader felt her mind went blank.

This guy actually dared to be so frivolous with her?!

"Presumptuous!"

As he was about to succeed, the Beauty Clan Leader immediately regained her senses, scolded angrily, instinctively took half a step back, narrowly avoiding the sneak attack.

He, he actually wanted to... kiss her?

Utterly irrational!

"Sister, you don’t want Jiujiu to get hurt, do you?"

Qin Yu looked calmly at her, full of anger, yet his words were laced with threat.

It was as if she was once again grasped by her lifeline, the Beauty Clan Leader’s beautiful body stiffened.

She was filled with boundless hatred, utterly humiliated!

Here it comes, here it comes!

The threats again.

But amidst this anger, there was a trace of... shiver.

She couldn’t even figure out what that emotion was.

"You, cannot touch me with your mouth!"

Her trembling voice conveyed a deep sense of despair.

For the future of the Qingqiu Fox Race, she had no choice but to compromise again.

Qin Yu exerted a gentle force, pulling this Beauty Clan Leader close, drawing her into his arms.

The strong masculinity overwhelmed her, leaving her momentarily stunned, but she quickly snapped back to reality, just as she intended to break free, she thought of Qin Yu’s threat again...

The momentum hadn’t gathered before it dissipated.

Warm jade in embrace.

The unique fragrance of the Beauty Clan Leader filled his nostrils, Qin Yu’s respect surged, wishing to have this beauty on the spot.

But obviously, the time wasn’t right yet.

If he went too far now, it would only backfire.

So, he kept himself in check.

...

The first time for such intimate contact.

The Beauty Clan Leader, despite the shame, felt her cultivation had noticeably changed.

A feeling completely different from rejection surged in her heart.

At this moment, the Beauty Clan Leader finally experienced the feeling Tu Jiujiu had described.

Back then, she thought it was just a clumsy excuse from Tu Jiujiu, but now she genuinely felt it.

This feeling is hard to describe in words.

It’s like being wrapped in warm sunshine, like the spring rain nourishing the earth... a sense of closeness to nature.

It was as if she was more in tune with this world’s truths.

How could this be possible?

No wonder Tu Jiujiu always liked to cling to Qin Yu.

So that’s how it is.

Though inwardly she resisted tenfold, she... did not fight back.

"Huh?"

Qin Yu was also surprised.

He originally thought this beauty would break free immediately, but unexpectedly, she allowed herself to be gently held, showing no intention of escaping.

What’s going on?!

Of course, he didn’t think much of it.

It’s a good thing, right?

If today he can hold her, then perhaps tomorrow he can...

Qin Yu’s smile deepened, and his hand tentatively landed on her back.

The Beauty Clan Leader was immersed in that feeling until her back was pressed that she snapped back to reality.

Then she found in horror that it wasn’t just her back being pressed, but also...

The Beauty Clan Leader, though inexperienced with men.

But from the recent days of sneaking peeks, she had learned a few things.

This damn guy, can’t he control his tail again?!

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but struggle violently.

"Don’t move!"

Qin Yu couldn’t help but take a deep breath, his voice low.

Damn it, does she even know how attractive she is?!

Just holding her had already set his heart alight, and such a struggle only fueled his fire.

"Let, let go of me!"

The Beauty Clan Leader panicked.

His... his tail grew again!

"If I let go of you, I will go to Jiujiu!"

Qin Yu almost lost control of himself, his voice suppressed and...

Husky.

As soon as he finished speaking, the struggling Beauty Clan Leader immediately stopped, slightly looking up, her exquisite face filled with anger.

When she met those fiery black eyes, a hint of panic surged within her heart, and she didn’t even dare to meet his gaze for fear that Qin Yu would lose control and take advantage of her again.

As a great Clan Leader, she could only wrong herself to protect the future of the Qingqiu Fox Race.

This feeling made her extremely resistant, yet she had no choice.
