Chapter 9: Seduction Trial of the Demon Envoy & The Holy Maiden's Curse
---
Section 1: The Altar of Sin and Seduction
Azaria's eyes glowed as she straddled Ye Tian on the Lust Altar. Her voice was silk and shadow.
"You must pass the Seduction Trial, Ye Tian. Prove that your Lust Domain is worthy of me."
> [System Warning: Demon Envoy Azaria's Will is resisting the Lustbound System.] [Initiating Sub-Domain: Infernal Desire Negotiation.] [Objective: Tame her… or be tamed.]
He locked eyes with her.
"You want domination, Demon Queen? You'll have to earn it."
He placed a hand on her waist. Her tail coiled around his wrist instinctively—but she didn't pull away.
Instead, her lips curled into a smirk. "Then let the trial begin."

Section 2: The Flames That Burn Ice
Outside the altar chamber, Long Yuyan felt it. Her frost qi cracked in the air.
She turned toward the Lust Altar with narrowed eyes.
"That feeling... he's engaging in a demonic bond. Right under our sect?"
She clenched her blade.
Yet her heart stung more than her pride. She didn't understand why.
> [System Sync: Long Yuyan – Emotion Conflict Detected.] [Hidden Bond Trait Unlocked: Jealousy Resonance.]
She gasped.
Then blushed.
"No. Impossible."

Section 3: Azaria's Demonic Temptation
Inside, Azaria's trial intensified.
Every kiss, every word was a test—imbued with demonic allure, cursed memories, and ancient rage.
> [System Update: Lustful Synchronization at 61%... 73%... 89%...] [Warning: Host will lose dominance if bond reaches 100% without stabilizing domain.]
"Tell me, Ye Tian," Azaria whispered, licking his ear, "why do I crave you even after ten millennia?"
Ye Tian panted, sweat on his brow. "Because the system didn't just choose me. I'm the one who broke your curse."
Her eyes widened.
A flicker of something deeper—pain? longing?
> [Bond Stabilized at 99%. Seduction Trial: PASSED.]
Azaria gasped. The mark on her navel vanished.
She slumped forward, sighing. "You… win, Master."
He grinned. "You're mine now, Azaria. Welcome to the harem."

Section 4: The Triple Kill Mission
Outside Ye Sect, three figures landed in silence.
The bounty hunters of the Celestial Court's Elite Purge Division.
—Sage Huaxing, wielder of the Heaven-Eating Flute.
—General Xianyu, commander of the Lightless Blade.
—Lady Yue of the Blooming Death, a cultivator who seduced stars.
"We strike at dawn," Huaxing said.
"No mercy. The Trash Young Master dies… and so do his women."

Section 5: Star Princess Reveals Her True Form
At midnight, Lira meditated in the sect's side courtyard.
A breeze passed.
The Star Princess—who had spent most days floating above the sect like a lazy guardian—descended silently.
"You feel it too," she said.
Lira nodded. "Killers are coming."
The Star Princess's playful grin faded.
"I'll show you why I'm the last survivor of the Starfall Dynasty."
She waved a hand, and starlight coalesced around her—armor forming, hair flowing like galaxies.
> [System Bond Sync: Star Princess – Domain of Cosmic Desire unlocked.]
She smiled softly. "Let's give our man a reason to keep this sect alive."

Section 6: Meanwhile, In Heaven… Her Curse Reacts
The Holy Maiden sat in her lotus chamber, clothed in layers of white talismans. Her every breath chanted divine law.
But she couldn't stop trembling.
Visions struck her mind—of Ye Tian's lips, of forbidden warmth, of feelings she shouldn't have.
> [Curse of Eternal Chastity: Fracture Detected.] [Host Memory Seal Breaking at 8%...]
She gasped. "Why do I dream of that trash? Why do I… remember his name?"

Section 7: Ye Sect Awakens for War
Ye Tian stood atop the main peak, overlooking the ruins that were slowly becoming a fortress.
Beside him: Long Yuyan in glacial armor, Lira wielding Lustfire Blades, Star Princess cloaked in stars, and now… Azaria in robes forged of midnight silk.
Four deadly women.
One glitch-laced cultivator.
A sect with a broken past… now burning with future flame.
> [System Alert: Incoming Hostile Force Detected.] [Objective: Survive the Night. Kill the Bounty Hunters. Claim their Qi Threads.]
Ye Tian smiled.
"Bring it on."
