Willow could honestly say that while not a good person, she wasn't a bad one either. In her previous life, she may have been a con artist but she used all the wealth she cheated from others to feed the children of her orphanage. Those children went on to help the world for the better, mostly. That had to count for something.
That said, she couldn't help her bafflement in this life. What type of crime did heaven deemed her guilty of to punish her like so?
As those thoughts flowed through her mind, she was brought back to reality by a daring hand. It roamed her backside and molested her bottom occasionally. Seeing that the cup before the owner of that hand was empty, she grabbed a porcelain bottle and poured its content into it.
An intoxicating fragrance spread out in the private room.
"Are you listening to me, Little Willow?" Piercing black eyes pinned her with a gaze that was far heavier than that of a simple mortal.
"Of course, young master. You were speaking of your last encounter in that Forbidden land." Although she had been distracted by her musings, she still listened to the bragging of the complacent youngster next to her.
This perverted young master was the chosen inheritor of the Blackcloud Clan. He stood to inherit the position of patriarch. Although he was vain, he was a genius through and through. In this world where people could cultivate, he could be considered a Blessed Child of Heaven.
At the age of 17, he had already opened 108 out of the 360 orifices needed in the Spirit Orifices Realm. He was on the path to becoming a Heavenly Constellation Realm Daoist by the time he reached twenty years of age.
This was a horrifying speed, considering a Spirit Orifices Realm cultivator had a lifespan that went up to 800 years. Even if he broke through three or four years later than estimated, he would still be a Heavenly Constellation Realm at 23 or 24 years old.
To understand how ridiculous this was, one needed to know that the lifespan of a Heavenly Constellation Realm expert could go up to 3000 years, which meant that he was guaranteed to step into the following realm, the Starfall Realm. If he kept up with this speed maybe even the Cosmos Egg Realm. A realm reached by the true powerhouses of this world. Which meant that he was fated to become one.
Such potential was rare.
As such, he wasn't someone that could be taken lightly. With just his pedigree and cultivation, he could reduce her to ash with a single word if he was displeased. Not to mention, as a Brothel Girl, she was obliged to serve her patron. Furthermore, he was her only patron. As soon as she started 'working' at the Flower Valley House, he monopolized her. One could say that she was his property.
As for how she ended up becoming a courtesan, she could only blame her parents. They had borrowed money and couldn't pay it back. To quote their words, they were 'forced to sell her to the brothel.'
Willow would have escaped if she had cultivated and could outrun the cultivators sent by the brothel. As for trying to plan an escape later, it was suicidal. She had seen what happened to the girls that tried. It wasn't good.
At least it wasn't all bad. Because she caught the eyes of a notorious evil-doer (Julius Blackcloud), her virtue was untouched for 3 years. She wasn't pushed to serve other patrons. Currently, she was 17, Julius hadn't touched her all this while, besides a few groping sessions. But tonight his behavior was hasty and impatient. His hands wantonly wandered underneath the layers of her clothing.
She knew she would most likely have to serve him tonight.
It had been hard to get ready for this, after all, she still had her previous life memories as a male. Although in this life, she was born and grew up as a girl, which forced a change in her mentality, she still had a few psychological blocks to surmount.
Thankfully, she had the time to get used to the idea. Also, there was the fact that in this life as well as the previous one, she possessed a restrained emotional spectrum that didn't allow for high and intense emotional changes. As such, she could generally maintain her peace and not be driven insane by the bizarre turn her life had taken.
Without these two factors, Willow would have a mental breakdown right now as she felt his hand bypass her underwear and reach her inner thighs. Instead, while outwardly she flushed in reaction, inwardly she was serene as if she wasn't the one being invaded by young master Julius' dexterous fingers.
A few irresistible moans escaped her lips. If it were an ordinary person, the embarrassment would have killed them. As she lost control of her body responses
slowly and surely, she could only admire the Flower Plucking Lord's skills. It was his nickname in Crimson Stone City. Who knew how many women he played with?
"Where was I? After triumphing over the most intricate killing restrictions with my wits and might, I stumbled upon a place full of treasures. There, I encountered an ambush from that b*tch Bluerose. She had brought with her a great number of Spirit Orifices Realm cultivators."
"Oh no! What did you do? Young Maas-" Willow bit down another moan as she forced the appropriate reaction to his tale. Looking at her face full of worries, the young Blackcloud was pleased. Although she wasn't the most beautiful or curvacious girl in the brothel, he had chosen her because of her charming and vivid reactions. Also, she possessed a genuine and naive aura. It made her incredibly charming, compared to those girls whose words and expressions were fake and calculated.
If Willow knew why she was picked over her peers, she would be dumbfounded. Her emotional spectrum was limited, as such, she had endeavored to master acting. It was simply to avoid alienation. She could give herself a pat on the back, her acting was so good that it felt genuine to others.
"Another cultivator would be on the other shore by now, but who is this young master? An unparalleled talent, rarely seen in a thousand years. I used my family's Life-Extinction Palm art and got rid of those nuisances before vanquishing Bluerose, the harlot." He was bursting with pride. His self-praising speech seemed to stroke his ego and his lust.
"Young Master is valiant and Skillful." Willow praised, insincerely.
A visible tent appeared on Julius' lower body. By that point, he lost all restraint and carried Willow to the king-sized bed. Her lustrous hair spread on the bed as he softly let her down. Her pale gray eyes were filled with a charming glow.
Looking at the youthful beauty in front of him, Julius quickly pounced and removed her garments, leaving her with a single piece of fabric covering her modesty. Willow, at that point, hid her breasts with her palms while looking incredibly vulnerable and shy.
Naturally, she was acting. She had to learn how to please patrons as a courtesan. Also, in this foreign world, this arrogant young master was the only pillar she could rely on. She aspired to immortality, only this man had the means to allow her to step on that path. As a commoner, she had no way to come in contact with a cultivation method. Thus she could only please him.
Delighted with her reactions, Julius was even more turned on as his shaft struggled under his fitting gold and black robe. He proceeded to lean just above her lower parts and removed the last piece of fabric protecting her dignity. In the dim light of the room, a soft glow covered Willow's naked body making it look like a beautiful scarlet jade.
His head dipped further and Willow felt a wet trail on her privates. The sensations made her arch her back and release a long moan. Encouraged, Julius pursued his actions, his tongue akin to a spirited snake moving to and fro.
Despite the ravishing moans and the flushed skin, Willow's eyes were calm. Her mind was truly not affected. She could rationally observe what was happening, it was like looking from a third-person perspective. If Julius could see her eyes he would be shocked at the contrast. Fortunately, he seemed far too taken with his 'task' to look at her face. Her erratic breathing was enough for him.
Under his relentless offensive, Willow started to feel lightheaded. Her body was burning as she ascended to the peak before finding release. Her legs twitched as the orgasm sent her into a lasting state of bliss. Afterward, her body was limp and her muscles spasmed occasionally.
Seeing her in this state, Julius's smirk spread wider. Without giving her the time to recover he grabbed her waist and Willow's sight shifted from the ceiling to the dark-colored sheet. She was now laying on her belly. She felt a hand support her waist until her butt started pressing against a hard and fleshy shaft.
Feeling the size of his equipment, Willow lamented inwardly. 'This will be far more painful than I estimated.'
The thing was tremendous not only in width but in length also. Julius brought his lips to her ear and whispered lustfully, "It will hurt slightly before getting better."
Afterward, two fingers spread her wide before a single thrust stole her maidenhood. His member filled her, and the pain brought reactive tears to her eyes. He paused, waiting for her to adapt before he started moving. His thrusts were powerful but controlled. Each time, he would reach deep into her.
Soon, the hellish pain became numbness then restlessness. As her body heat spiked up, Willow felt another orgasm coming. A moment later, her whole body tensed and an alluring noise escaped her lips. Her knees almost gave up but Julius' firm hand was supporting her lower belly while he pursued his rhythmic thrusts.
If Willow could see him right now she would be shocked. Julius' entire body was glowing with a sacred light and an illusory white lotus had bloomed behind him. Unfortunately, she couldn't see it due to the position Julius forced her into.
The alluring and otherworldly scene lasted till dawn. Willow had already passed out multiple times by this point. No matter how strong her consciousness was as a reincarnated person, her body was still that of a frail girl.
After dumping his essence in her for the last time, Julius stood up and cleaned up before wearing his gold and black robe. His entire body was bursting with vigor, totally unlike someone who was up to no good for the entire night.
He was about to leave when he thought about something. During their time together, Willow had subtly mentioned her desire to become a cultivator. Although he didn't think she had the talent for it, he had already pledged to give her a mantra after their first night together. As prideful as he was, he couldn't turn back on his words.
He felt a headache coming. Although as the young master of the Blackcloud he knew a lot of cultivation arts, he couldn't pass them on. His old man would kill him if he did. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. A mischievous smile spread on his face.
He flipped his palm and a jade book appeared in his hand. It was titled "The Primordial White Fox Visualization Diagram"
It was an ancient cultivation method he found in the forbidden ground he had just explored. It came from a time when humans hadn't yet comprehended the Spirit Orifices Opening Method, the primordial times. At that time, human cultivation arts were rough and unrefined.
He didn't believe she could comprehend a method from such an archaic system. And since it was useless to him as a practitioner of the new ways which were more suited to humans, he didn't mind giving it to her. After all, he only said that he would give her a method, not a practical one.
The laws of heaven and earth have changed since primordial times. Even if by miracles she could comprehend it, she wouldn't be able to gain anything from it. Satisfied with himself Julius Blackcloud left the room while humming.
Willow's eyes opened when he left the room. Her gaze inevitably fell on the jade book. A smile suffused her lips making her particularly charming. Excitement bubbled inside her. She had the same feeling as when she started a new project in her past life.
Immortality didn't seem so far away anymore.
