Chapter 11

The night was deep and quiet. Luo Chu lay on her bed, ready to peacefully drift off to sleep.

Ten minutes later.

…Drift off to sleep, my ass!

Luo Chu stared at the system dialog box flashing incessantly before her eyes—she was about to lose her mind.

[On the night of July 20th, I undressed and prepared to sleep. Moonlight streamed through the window, and with the Lust-Inducing Powder in hand, I rose cheerfully. Wishing to engage in improper acts with my disciple, I went to the side chamber to seek Liu Chengzhi. Chengzhi was also not asleep, so we drank together under the moonlight, and I secretly slipped the Lust-Inducing Powder into his cup. Chengzhi, overcome with unbearable lust, threw himself into the lake to preserve his chastity. Luo Chu, unable to have her way, was left seething with resentment.]

Numb.

She’ll never be able to look at Su Shi’s prose the same way again…

(T/N: The original famous prose piece by Su Shi (also known as Su Dongpo), titled Notes on a Night Tour to Chengtian Temple, begins with the lines: “On the night of tenth lunar month 12th in the sixth year of Yuanfeng, I undressed to sleep, but moonlight entered my door—so I rose cheerfully to stroll.” Su Shi’s prose is celebrated for its tranquil, poetic beauty, describing a spontaneous moonlit walk with a friend to appreciate nature’s serenity. However, the system distorts this refined classical prose into something absurd and raunchy.)

“Luo Chu, mission incoming!” For some reason, Chun Desi seemed particularly excited tonight.

(T/N: Once again Chun Desi=Stupid Enough to Die.)

[Main Mission Three – Share a moonlit drink with Liu Chengzhi and administer the Lust-Inducing Powder to him.]

This… isn’t good, is it? QAQ

Boom— Thunder rumbled in the distance, threatening but not yet striking, as if issuing a warning.

“Fine, I get it. Always using lightning to scare me.”

Luo Chu lifted the blanket and sat up, her face full of worry.

“If I don’t complete the mission, will I really be utterly destroyed, body and soul?”

【Dear, the heavenly thunder punishment will also be applied to your present-day body, you know.】

【Applied】

【Imposed】

【Inflicted】

【……F*** your mom, f*** f*** f*** you grandpa, f*** you grandma f*** f*** f*** f*** f***.】

Orange cat: ……

Luo Chu: ……So what exactly is this uncultured system mad about?

“Don’t worry, it’s probably just a bug. No big deal. Here, the Lust-Inducing Powder. I’m rooting for you, heh heh heh heh heh heh heh…”

Luo Chu arrived at the side chamber.

The door wasn’t fully closed, and from inside came the sound of the young man’s heated breathing.

She knocked.

“Chengzhi? Master is coming in.”

She paused at the door for a few seconds before pushing it open—only to be met with a sight she could never have imagined.

Their eyes locked.

Her own widened abruptly.

Her hand remained on the door, frozen in place.

Luo Chu felt that she would never forget this moment for the rest of her life.

Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that the disciple she had personally raised would secretly be doing… this!

The young man’s inner robe had slipped to his waist, revealing a lean but well-defined physique.

His legs were spread wide, and the hem of his robe was clenched between his teeth.

When he saw her, he seemed startled, his lips parting slightly as the fabric slipped down, covering that area.

For a moment, he seemed at a loss.

His eyes still carried traces of lingering desire, his lips slightly parted and flushed.

Even his heterochromatic blue-and-yellow eyes shimmered with an alluring light.

This side of him was far too seductive—something she had never seen before.

It was both innocent and irresistibly tempting.

Luo Chu, a 25-year-old who had never been in a relationship, had never witnessed such an ambiguous and forbidden scene.

A flicker of panic crossed her usually icy expression.

“Sorry for disturbing you.”

She turned to leave but was suddenly yanked back by a powerful force and pressed against the door.

The cramped room still carried the lingering scent of his earlier indulgence.

“Master…” Liu Chengzhi nuzzled against her like a small animal begging for affection.

Luo Chu stiffened in shock—the vial of Lust-Inducing Powder hidden in her sleeve fell to the ground and rolled to Liu Chengzhi’s feet.

With a flick of his fingers, the white porcelain bottle flew into his hand.

The youth pulled out the red stopper, sniffed it, paused, and then let out a low, melodious laugh.

The next second, his scorching body pressed against hers, leaving her almost no room to breathe.

Luo Chu was genuinely stunned, forgetting even to put on her usual aloof Master act.

In the darkness, Liu Chengzhi asked, “Master, were you planning to use this Lust-Inducing Powder on me?”

“No!”

“Is that so?” Liu Chengzhi murmured, then continued slowly, “Master is lying.”

“Master isn’t behaving. This is the first time you’ve ever lied to me.”

“!!!”

Luo Chu’s eyes flew open as she looked up at him. Liu Chengzhi was staring back, his gaze so intense it felt like it could set her on fire.

“Master, do you know why the world fears heterochromatic blue-and-yellow eyes? It’s not just because all past Demon Lords had them—it’s because these eyes can see a person’s soul. No one wants to be seen through. Isn’t that terrifying?”

His tone was unhurried, but Luo Chu’s body grew increasingly tense, as if she were turning into a statue.

He can see souls?!

Then he knows I’m a transmigrator!

And he’s been acting along with me all this time!

Is he going to kill me now?!

Wuwuwuwuwu!

“Master has always taught me to respect my master, to uphold propriety, and never to overstep my place. I’ve obeyed every lesson. So why is Master sneaking into my room in the middle of the night to drug me?”

Luo Chu stammered, trying to explain.

“I… I…”

“Master what? Can’t think of an excuse?” Liu Chengzhi sighed almost pityingly.

“How pitiful, unable to come up with one.”

“Then let this disciple help you. How about this—Master was momentarily overcome with lust and wanted a taste of her disciple. Does that work?”

“I did not!”

Luo Chu was so embarrassed she wished she could burrow into the ground.

Before she could erupt in flustered anger, Liu Chengzhi dropped to his knees before her and said reverently, “Master… may I kiss you?”

What kind of nonsense was this? Even though his words were the humblest, even though he knelt before her in the most submissive posture, even though his eyes were filled with longing—she still felt like he was the one looking down on her!

“You rebellious disciple!”

Luo Chu was both furious and ashamed.

She raised her hand to strike him, but before it could land, Liu Chengzhi swiftly stood and caught her wrist.

His other hand moved to the back of her head, and a beautiful blue light bloomed, instantly sinking into her hair.

Luo Chu only felt a wave of weakness before sinking into a deep slumber.

“Tonight’s events… Master should forget them.”
