Lustful Depravity: The Villain system!-Chapter 25 - 2) The black frost wasteland

Bai Rouxi inclined her head slightly, her cold yet mesmerizing gaze meeting Zhao Fan's without flinching.

A subtle smile played on her lips, a small curve that could be mistaken for politeness, yet carried a trace of deeper meaning.

"The rumors do not exaggerate, Young Master Zhao," she said, her voice like a whisper of wind through ancient bamboo forests, soft, refined, yet carrying an undeniable strength.

"You have already reached such heights at a young age... Such a strong aura, you are already at the first stage of the Golden core realm, but I think that's just on the surface and your real cultivation is more hidden,"

Zhao Fan nodded lightly, neither confirming nor denying.

Compliments, especially from someone of equal status, were rarely empty pleasantries.

Plus, hiding the real cultivation isn't a bad thing, is it?

He is already showing the cultivation base of the first stage of the golden core, which already puts him at the top of geniuses.

He scanned her with the detached curiosity of a scholar, like examining an ancient painting: appreciative, yet not swayed by her beauty.

"You flatter me, Young Miss Bai. But I believe strength is measured not by words, but by deeds... Yet, I have no reason to hide, so, you can rest assured, I am indeed at merely the first stage of the Golden Core realm,"

Bai Rouxi's eyes shimmered slightly at his response yet, her expression remained unreadable.

She was a woman raised in a world where power dictated respect, and within her family, only the strong had the right to speak.

"Wise words... But I doubt you have nothing to hide, when you are donned on such a luxury robe from neck to toe," her tone was playful.

"Oh, I didn't know, Young Miss Bai was so straightforward... I wonder what young miss is especially talking about, is it body or perhaps something else..." A playful smile appeared on his usual cold face.

Heeding this, her snow-white cheeks flushed red.

"Ahem* Ahem*, Paradon me, I don't think we should discuss such things," she took a few steps backward.

She didn't expect Zhao Fan to play together.

"We shouldn't discuss? Ah, how disappointing, I already imagine taking you home and having as many children as possible..." He added, moving closer to her.

Her entire turned red in shame.

Ugh, how shameful, but she wasn't the woman, who would be at a loss.

"Ah, Young Master is too bold, but, I am interested, should we visit your home, right now?"

Zhao Fan was visibly taken aback, his playful facade momentarily shattering.

"Young Miss Bai... you are indeed a woman full of surprises," he said, his voice tinged with a mix of admiration and caution.

His eyes held a flicker of uncertainty, a crack in his usual composure.

Her daring proposal had stirred something inside of him, something he hadn't anticipated.

It was a game he was willing to play, but with a woman like Bai Rouxi, he was treading on unfamiliar ground.

She gives the vibe of a "female lead" so, better to think properly.

Or perhaps, she is just acting strong, flirting without holding back, refusing to back up.

A playful flirting that will eventually lead to nowhere.

But, you know what, let's show the difference.

"You know what Miss Bai, we don't have to visit my house, we can just explore the wasteland, I heard, physical intimacy can keep the body warm, and This humble Zhao hopes Miss Bai can help me warm up..." He said while holding her chin, as if he would kiss her the very next moment.

..

Bai Rouxi's heart skipped a beat as his hand reached out to hold her chin, his gaze intense and filled with a hint of mischief.

Her usual confident demeanor wavered for a moment as a slight shiver ran down her spine.

She knew what he was suggesting.

Shameless, Shameless, Shameless.

Disgusting.

Her face started to emit visible smoke.

It was both daring and improper.

"Young Master Zhao, you are truly bold," she said, barely disguising the tremble in her voice.

Yet, despite her protest, she didn't move away from his touch, she could feel her head spinning.

He leaned in closer, his breath warm against her skin as he replied, "Perhaps, but you don't seem to mind,"

His thumb gently grazed her lower lip, a tantalizing gesture that seemed to send electric sparks through her veins.

She swallowed, her mind racing with a mix of excitement and trepidation.

It would be so easy to yield to his advances, to give into the heady rush of desire that was building between them.

Plus, she didn't love him at all.

They were barely an acquaintance, and she had a good impression of him as the number 1 talent.

Bai Rouxi's breath hitched, but she quickly steadied herself, forcing a smile onto her lips.

She wasn't about to let Zhao Fan take the upper hand so easily.

"You certainly think highly of yourself, Young Master Zhao," she murmured, her voice a touch huskier than before.

"But tell me... how many women have fallen for these tricks?"

Zhao Fan chuckled, his fingers lingering just a second longer before releasing her chin.

"Tricks?" He tilted his head slightly, as if amused.

"If a woman wishes to be captured, is it truly a trick?"

Bai Rouxi narrowed her eyes, suppressing the strange flutter in her chest. He was smooth, way too smooth.

She had encountered countless suitors in her life, yet none had ever dared to tease her so boldly.

Plus, she wouldn't let anyone get close to her.

Let alone flirt.

She thought she could tease the number 1 genius, but who could have thought the rumored cultivation menace also knew how to handle women?

Crossing her arms, she took a deliberate step back, creating a small but definite space between them.

"Captured? Young Master Zhao, you assume too much. Who said I wished to be caught? Hmph..." She pouted.

Zhao Fan smirked, unfazed by her retreat.

...

And from a little afar, Zhao Meng was looking at them, clutching his fist.
