Jingliu, pressed against the glass, whether from nervousness or excessive shock, felt her legs go weak. She slowly slid down and sat on the floor.
After a while, the door to Victor's office opened again.
A blushing Jingliu ran out from inside, her hair and clothes slightly disheveled. She quickly straightened them as she hurried away.
Victor stood at the office doorway, waving at Jingliu with a satisfied expression.
"Master, your disciple awaits your esteemed presence at any time. Please come again~"
On the surface, it truly looked like a picture of a disciple respecting their master.
Jingliu, understanding the hidden meaning in Victor's words, stumbled. She turned to glare at him hatefully, then fled without looking back.
Exiting Reality Mode, Victor let out a long breath.
In the process of "tuning" Jingliu in the simulated world, he had gradually developed a taste for it.
Along with that, he began to enjoy the freedom of committing evil in the simulation.
Fortunately, his cautious and rational nature prevented him from confusing the simulation with reality.
The simulation continued.
[Ever since that time, it was as if you had opened the door to a new world. You began to frequently invite Jingliu to your office.]
[Before long, rumors began to spread throughout the Prison of Shackling Souls: strange sounds were always coming from your office.]
[Jingliu was thin-skinned, always avoiding being seen by others whenever she entered or left. As for you, you had a guilty conscience and didn't offer any explanation. Thus, the rumors gradually turned into: The Seat often hides in his office, taking pleasure in torturing prisoners.]
[When you found out, you didn't know whether to laugh or cry. You stroked Jingliu's beautiful hair and teased, "Master, because of you, your disciple has become a pervert in the eyes of others."]
["Hmph!" Jingliu snorted coldly and rolled her eyes at you, her gaze seemingly saying:]
[Don't you have any idea what you are, do you?]
[To Jingliu, your office was no different from a demon's den. She would rather be besieged by an endless army of Abundance abominations than take a single step into your office.]
[Unfortunately, the Luofu Sword Champion's spirit was far too resilient. No matter what cruel or intense methods you used, she never submitted.]
[Jingliu's refusal to submit meant she remained extremely dangerous. If she ever got an opportunity, the slightest carelessness would result in her cutting off your head.]
[Several months later, Jingliu repeatedly urged you to release Baiheng. After some thought, you finally set Baiheng free.]
[The reason you agreed so easily was, for one, you had basically completed your plan.]
[Secondly, everyone in the 'High-Cloud Quintet' had a powerful background, making them troublesome to provoke—except for Baiheng.]
Victor stroked his chin. That made sense.
Among the 'High-Cloud Quintet', Jingliu was the Luofu Sword Champion, Dan Feng was the Vidyadhara High Elder, Yingxing was a 'Master Craftsman', and Jing Yuan was highly regarded by General Teng Xiao. Only Baiheng, the Foxian Nameless, was practically an outsider to the Xianzhou.
The Nameless travel the cosmos, relying on the good reputation accumulated by countless others before them. Nearly every faction in the universe would give them some face.
But when faced with an unreasonable and unscrupulous villain and local tyrant like 'him', the Nameless were helpless.
Of everyone in the 'High-Cloud Quintet', Baiheng was the easiest to manipulate.
And Baiheng, being the darling of the group, was also everyone's weak spot.
[After releasing Baiheng, when you contacted Jingliu again, her attitude was incredibly cold and distant, clearly wanting nothing more to do with you.]
[You gave a wicked smile and simply whispered to Jingliu on the other end of the phone: "Master, you wouldn't want Baiheng to be thrown back into the Prison of Shackling Souls, would you~"]
[This sentence became Jingliu's nightmare for a long time to come. Whenever the mood struck you, you would call Jingliu, and the moment she showed the slightest hesitation, you would immediately repeat that sentence to her.]
[In less than half an hour, Jingliu would appear before you, her face filled with shame and anger. And it was precisely this 'I want to kill you, but I don't dare' expression that you found so irresistible.]
[Your 'tutoring' sessions were no longer confined to the small office, but extended to the Prison of Shackling Souls, Starskiff Haven, the Exalting Sanctum...]
[If one were to exclude the twisted nature of your relationship, it was not much different from that of ordinary lovers.]
[Today, on a whim, you brought Jingliu to Aurum Alley. The place was filled with the traditional style of the ancient Xianzhou, a fine spot for a couple's date.]
[At least to outsiders, you and Jingliu looked like a couple deep in love. At this moment, your hand was wrapped around Jingliu's slender waist, and it was as if all the bones in her body had been removed, leaving her to lean limply against you.]
["Jingliu!?" a voice full of surprise called out.]
[Through your palm, you could clearly feel Jingliu's entire body jolt violently at the sound of that voice.]
[You and Jingliu turned your heads toward the voice almost simultaneously. Silvery-white hair, fluffy ears, and lively eyes... who else could it be but Baiheng.]
At this critical moment, a system prompt suddenly popped up.
[Special plot triggered. Enter Reality Mode?]
Victor, who had been watching the simulation with great interest, couldn't help but widen his eyes. It was just a chance encounter, why would it trigger a special plot?
Thinking about Baiheng and Jingliu's relationship, Victor understood instantly.
After a moment's hesitation, Victor chose 'Yes'.
The world spun around him, and Victor once again entered the world of the simulation.
