Aromatic Flesh

Take now, for example, though Shen Rong was experiencing Zhao ChunRan’s bold and youthful seduction, he could not help but think of Gu MingYue, be it her body, her expressions, or her voice… Her existence was so pervasive that it was already penetrating his thoughts night and day, to the point that he felt as if he was losing himself.

That said, Shen Rong had always known what exactly he wanted in life, and he understood clearly that there would not be a bright and public presence for Gu MingYue, nor would there ever be an official spot for her in the future that he was working his way to.

In fact, he truly believed that all she deserved was to wallow within the darker side of his personality, forever his to play.

He refused to let go of her, but at the same time, he understood that he should not get too emotionally entangled with her.

Shen Rong consciously wished to prove to himself that neither Gu MingYue nor their so-called promise¹ mattered.

In honesty, he had never taken that promise to heart, especially when he met Zhao ChunRan, who was the woman of his dreams. She was the only woman deserving of him, and hers was the kind of refreshing and fresh beauty, filled entirely with sweetness and innocence.

He thought of Gu MingYue’s sensual and captivating beauty, each and every movement from her was seductive, as if she was the incarnation of a succubus. She had nothing on Zhao ChunRan… He scoffed under his breath, deciding that the only thing Gu MingYue deserved in this life was to submit her all too beautiful body to him, to be relished and ravaged.

How silly of him, to pause and hesitate, even for half a second, at such a crucial time to think about a promise to a mere plaything… To think that he had stooped so low, to care about a mere plaything’s feelings.

To think that he would ever consider sacrificing his duties as a boyfriend to a wonderful and sensual young lady!

The drama within his mind took place and finished within a second, and he quickly decided his priorities. He moved in swiftly, instantly taking charge of Zhao ChunRan’s unskilled seduction, and worked his fingers all over her body, lighting up flames of lust all over her. He worked his magic skillfully, with skills he had unintentionally acquired from the activities with Gu MingYue…

And within moments, Zhao ChunRan was reduced to nothing but a puddle of overflowing nectar, rasping weakly and she grabbed his arm with shaky hands.

Shen Rong took her reaction as an encouragement, and he raised himself up as he grabbed the beauty underneath him, entering her gently and carefully.

At this exact moment, Shen Rong could not deny that Zhao ChunRan was very beautiful. She accepted his girth fully and smoothly with the shyness of a young and unblossomed flower, taking the whole of him even though it was her first time.

Her moans were soft and crisp, but daring and encouraging, which was very much unlike Gu MingYue’s muted defiance.

He stayed still for a long moment, allowing her to adjust to him thoroughly before moving his body together with the beauty beneath him, and within moments, the sound of flesh slapping against each other and gasped moans echoed through the room endlessly.

Shen Rong, however, did not dare to move too roughly, because though Zhao ChunRan was overflowing with nothing but lustful nectar, he was afraid that her uneven walls were too tender and untrained. He moved slowly and gently, with the tenderness of a gentleman. It was an entirely new experience for Shen Rong, as this was the first time he had fucked another lady other than his slut of a sister.

This new way of having sex was an entirely new experience for him, and oddly, he was able to acquire a sense of satisfaction from Zhao ChunRan’s body, though it was very much different from what Gu MingYue had always made him feel.

In fact, for a man, sex can usually be described as satisfactory as long as the man was able to cum. However, though he felt satisfied, deep down within, he still felt as if something was missing, as if there was an empty corner deep within his darkened heart.

He was somewhat confused, because part of him understood that this should not be the case because he truly loved the woman beneath him.

For Shen Rong, it was love at first sight for him as soon as he landed his gaze on Zhao ChunRan. He instantly knew that he would take her as his wife and he would always protect her innocent and genuine smile from the filthy world outside.

Meeting each other was fate, and one that he very much appreciated.

He fixated his gaze on the recovering and shy woman beneath him before clearing his mind from pondering through other useless thoughts. He allowed himself to sink into this exact moment, resting only at the end as they tiredly cuddled each other to sleep.

I can feel good even if it’s not Shen Yue. Shen Rong told himself this over and over again as he went into a slumber.

On the other hand, Gu MingYue received a notification from the system.

[Warning! Warning! The target and the heroine had undergone physical body contact intimately, does the Host agree to the failure of this mission?]

Her mind went blank as she stared at the notification that popped out, unable to comprehend a single word the system had uttered.

Shen Rong had sex with Zhao ChunRan?! But he promised that he wouldn’t have sex with another woman!

Liar!

Big fat liar!

Gu MingYue felt as if all of her efforts throughout the years had gone to naught.

All the physical and emotional abuse…

All her forced endurance and submission to his twisted endeavors…

All the while forcing herself to cooperate in bed…

All the flattery and considerations she had for his miserable life…

She had done everything she could, but what had she gotten in return? Nothing but a mission doomed to fail…

If it had but an ounce of effect, Shen Rong wouldn’t be sharing a bed with Zhao ChunRan behind her back right now!

“What are the consequences of a mission failure?” Gu MingYue asked dryly.

[When the Host fails a mission, the Host’s memorie and past achievements would be removed entirely, and the Host would be sent into the Punishment World to suffer. After completing the prescribed punishment, the Host would have to redo the missions and accumulate the achievements from scratch.]

“What is a Punishment World?”

[A Punishment World is where the Host would go to experience the Host’s last and most traumatic experiences from the original world.]

“…” There was no way Gu MingYue would be willing to undergo that period of gray and torturing period once more. She did not wish to watch her mother die again, as the pain was far too great, and she was not ready to meet the people who had harmed her so.

Furthermore, the only reason why she had been trying her best at these ridiculous missions was so that she could turn back time and change the fate of her mother and herself!

It would serve no purpose to watch everything and everyone she loved fall apart all over again…

Which was why, as long as she had not accumulated enough achievements to go back in time, she would never be willing to go through the excruciating pain once more.

“I have a question, why was it that been though Shen Rong had sex with the heroine, the system did not automatically rate this mission as a failure? Why was my confirmation needed to accept this failure?” A thought crossed Gu MingYue’s mind, and she instantly knew that it was her only chance at redemption.

[The Host must’ve not checked through the Beginner Pack thoroughly.]

[There is a modifier named ‘Turning the Tides.’ It is a one-use item, which will allow the Host to receive another chance at completing the mission, but at a cost. There will be no skill point rewards at the end of the mission, and at the same time, once ‘Turning the Tides’ is in effect, the system will be entirely offline, hence making it impossible for the Host to acquire help or access the Store. Lastly, the Host will be forced to live in this world for many years, until the mission is completed, after that, the Host will then be automatically transported to the next mission world.]

“What will happen if I don’t manage to complete the mission?”

[Then the Host will live in this world until the system comes back online.]

Gu MingYue pondered over the system’s words silently.

[The modifier – ‘Turning the Tides’ will also change the objectives of the mission. Once in effect, the original objective will cease to exist, and the system will then rate the mission according to the overall performance of the Host, the determining factor being on how much the Host had affected the target.]

“Use it, then.” There was no reason not to, because though risky, this would be the only chance she gets to save her mission.

At least now, she was able to include her own feelings and conscience towards issues that involved Shen Rong…

Furthermore, her final score will no longer be determined by how much the target loves her!

This changes everything… Gu MingYue’s eyes gleamed as the sound of her system faded away from her head.

Translating plans always not happening because my impulsive parents booked a family trip to Phuket. I’ve been here for almost a week, and I’m proud to say that I just got my diving license!

In fact, I just came back from a dive session, it was hella fun omfg! NGL but I felt as if the fishes were staring at me the whole time, one of them even swam right up to my sister and glared for a few seconds before swimming away… I was like: BRUH OwO
