The flaps of the yurt were sealed tight, shutting out the howling winds of the Northern Plains. Inside, the charcoal brazier crackled, casting dancing shadows against the heavy felts. The air was already thick with the scent of Soothing Musk, but beneath it lay a heavier, sweeter pressure , the aura of the Joyous Wind's wish coming true in his inheritors hand.
I sat on the central rug, stripping off my heavy wolf-fur cloak. My upper body was bare.
Before me, five women knelt in a row. Their heads were lowered, bodies trembling , not from cold, but from the insidious, rewiring heat produced by the [Pink Desire chains] I had embedded in their hearts.
"Raise your heads," I commanded, my voice resonating with the subtle influence of the effects of Rank 2 Entranced Gaze Gu from the killer move.
They obeyed. Their eyes were glazed, pupils dilated, fixed on me with a terrifying mixture of lust and forcefully induced adoration they hardly controlled.
"Report," I ordered. "Name, age, aptitude grade, background, and your Gu worms. You first."I said pointing to the one with the highest cultivation level among the girls
The woman on the far left straightened. She was the oldest present, twenty-one, with a lean, predatory build and short-cropped black hair matted with sweat. A fresh bandage wrapped tightly around her ribs, spotting red beneath the linen.
"I am Ju Zhu," she rasped, her voice steady despite the injury. "Former scout for the 4th Division. My Vital Gu is the Rank 2 Dark Night Cat ear Gu . It forms ears on my head and increases my senses for night operations. I also possess the Rank 2 Silent Step Gu for movement and concealment and rank 2 dark night cat claw gu for attack."
She touched her side. "I was ambushed by a Hei tribe patrol two days ago. I went to the healing tent to look for a cheaper treatment like cleaning and poultice and warping of my injury as i had spent all my fortune on buying the rank 2 dark night claw gu but Young Master's maid... Lady Yue Yin... helped me before bringing me here. She paid a Rank 2 Healing Gu Master to use a rank 2 vitality fruit on me before coming here."
I nodded. Versatile scout with almost a set completed for transformation useful for night raids and if her set adds any of dark night cat gus like dark night eyes gu or dark night tail gu she can complete dark night cat transformation .i nodded to yue yin thanking for her attention.
"Next."
The quiet one lifted her chin. Nineteen years old, slender almost to fragility, pale skin almost translucent under the lantern light. Long dark-green hair braided with dried herbs. Her fingertips were faint green the sign of using rank 1 numbing nails gu to modify her nails to wood of numbing roots so they stained permanently stained faint green.
"I am Ju Lan. Rank 1 Peak Stage," she whispered. "I control the battlefield. My Vital Gu is the Rank 1 Green Vine Gu. I also carry Rank 1 Numbing nails Gu , using the synergy between the two i can raise numbing vines to paralyze anyone trapped."
"Control type," I noted. "Useful." And she seems talented as she has the prototypes of a killer move thought out personally at rank 1.
Next was the girl looking Twenty years old, tall and broad-shouldered for a woman, olive skin, short-cropped dark hair, calloused hands from years of hard job. Her robe strained slightly across her powerful looking shoulders.
"Ju Ling, age 20. Rank 1 Middle stage gu master. healing gu master . My Vital Gu is Rank 1 Iron Stitch Gu When activated, the centipede creates silver threads that visibly stitch wounds shut. It stops bleeding instantly and holds flesh together with strength. I have no other gu as my family had lots of debts i had to even sell the bronze skin gu i got from the tribe. I worked at logistics before the war; I'm used to carrying heavy loads and keeping people moving." Although she is not strong in healing path looking at her physique she might be suitable for other paths.
Then Ju Fen, the restless-eyed scout. Nineteen, lean runner's build, short black hair tousled from constant movement. Sharp features, restless fingers.
"Ju Fen, age 19. rank 1 upper stage. Mobile field healing gu master. My Vital Gu is Rank 1 leaf wings gu creates feathers that fly to allies and heal minor wounds on contact a rare gu my father foundfrom a gambling rock years on my awakening ceremony. I also have Rank 1 Eagle's Sight Gu (extends vision to spot wounded allies from afar). I can be a scout; I'm fast and hard to hit ,i fly well too.and my gu is strong in rank 1 healing gu of the tribe also i can run extremely fast as i have rank 1 leaf step gu "
Finally, the little healer at the center. Ju Mei.
She was trembling the most. Seventeen, petite, delicate-boned, long silvery black hair half-undone so strands clung to her scarlet cheeks. Her simple robe was already loosened at the collar, revealing the rapid rise and fall of small, perfect breasts.
"I-I am Ju Mei," she stammered, voice soft and shaking. "Age 17. Peak B-grade aptitude… almost A-grade. Healing gu master. My Vital Gu is Rank 1 three leaf Vitality grass Gu,it produces rank 1 consumable vitality leaves gu that stop bleeding and close wounds almost instantly and heal wounds by infusing vitality. I also possess Rank 1 Mending Dew Gu (creates a healing mist that restores vitality over time) and the rare Rank 1 Soothing Breath Gu ( slowly mending internal injuries). I… was always told I had talent but was too timid for combat… I just want to be useful to Young Master…"
Her voice cracked on the last word. The other four shifted,instinctively protective showingit was also their wish too, yet also envious. Ju Mei's talent was visibly higher; the Pink Desire chains made them want to see her claimed first, to witness the strongest link being forged.
I let the silence stretch for three heartbeats.their reaction was really amusing .(all hail Joyous wind😂😂)
Then I rose.
"Ju Mei," I said softly. "Stand up."
She rose instantly, knees shaking. Her robe made of undyed linen, loose at the collar ,was already half-open from heat she felt earlier. Silver and black strands clung damply to her flushed cheeks and neck.
I reached out. My fingers ,still cold from outside cold , hooked the sash at her waist.
One slow, deliberate pull.
The robe parted like water sliding off skin.
It slid down her shoulders first, catching briefly on the gentle swell of her breasts before gravity took over. The linen whispered past her hips and pooled around her ankles in a soft ring. She wore nothing underneath.
Pale skin glowed in the light. Small, perfectly shaped breasts rose and fell with frantic breaths; deep pink nipples were already peaked, tight, begging. A thin, glistening line of wetness trailed down the inside of her thigh—visible proof of how thoroughly the Pink Desire chains had prepared her.
The other four girls inhaled sharply in unison. Ju Ling's hand twitched toward her own sash. Ju Fen bit her lower lip hard enough to draw a bead of blood. Ju Lan's slender fingers curled into the furs. Ju Zhu let out a tiny, involuntary whimper.
I circled Ju Mei once, slowly, letting my gaze travel over every inch of exposed skin—collarbones, the soft dip of her waist, the gentle flare of hips, the trembling muscles of her thighs.
"Beautiful," I murmured, voice rougher now. "And you are already so wet for me."
She whimpered,high, broken, needy. Her legs trembled so violently I thought she might collapse.
I gripped her chin gently with thumb and forefinger, tilted her face up until our eyes locked.
"Look at your sisters," I commanded. "Tell them what you want."
Ju Mei's voice was barely audible, wrecked with need, shaking on every syllable.
"I… I want young Master inside me… in front of everyone… so they can see… how much I belong to him…"
The words landed like a spark in dry grass.
A visible ripple passed through the other four—tiny shudders, soft gasps, hips rocking unconsciously against nothing. The Shared Sensation Gu had connected them through the killer move to some extent ; every word Ju Mei spoke, every pulse of desire she felt, echoed through the chain and into their bodies.
I smiled,a slow, predatory smile, i liked this killer move .
"Good girl."
