Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

The blood-red sky stretched out over the earth as far as the eyes could see, while the shadowy branches of twisted, blackened trees clawed at the heavens from below.

A dense mist floated over a dreary landscape. Everywhere the eye looked, one would only find ruins—the remains of ancient structures covered with creeping black vines and twisted, unnatural plants.

There was an ominous silence, a deadly stillness, that hung in the air like a palpable aura, filling it with an unmistakable sense of foreboding.

Meanwhile, the metallic scent of blood, mixed with the odor of death, made the land an uninhabitable place filled with decay.

Nothing in this place lived anymore. All that remained was a bleak reminder of what was, what had once been, and what could never be again.

Yet, somewhere, hidden within this wretched wasteland, was a single house that stood alone in a dark forest. It was a simple but sturdy structure made from timber and stone, surrounded by a thick blanket of mist that kept it concealed from prying eyes.

Inside, a single candle burned, casting flickering shadows across the wooden floorboards and rough walls. The flames danced wildly, illuminating a single figure seated before a long table made from wood, her blonde hair glowing in the warm light.

Upon closer inspection, one might notice that this woman's beautiful green eyes were staring at the bed located at the other end of the room.

In it, Argon's unconscious body lay with an agonized expression, bruises on his face, and blood smeared all over his body. But his body was healing at astonishing speed as he breathed in shallow breaths, unaware of where he was or what had happened to him.

The blonde woman, who had a mature body, let out a frustrated sigh. She rubbed the bridge of her nose to calm her irritation as her thoughts wandered back to the incident earlier, which angered her and caused her to forcefully take Argon to this hidden place.

"Damn it. Why the hell did this boy cause a scene just because of some dead trash? If I hadn't used an ancient 9-Star Grade Teleportation Jade, this fool's head would have already become like a crushed melon. Now all my plans are messed up.

This isn't good!" She muttered with gritted teeth, the candles illuminating her facial features that exuded a beauty and charm that could captivate people, yet now it was covered with a cold expression filled with displeasure and rage.

However, it didn't take long before her anger started to subside and calm down, and that expression changed to one of happiness, with a grin forming on her lips. "At first, I planned to make a connection with him and use him for my revenge plan, but now... I don't need to go roundabout ways and waste time to achieve my goals.

After all, since the last incident, William has been following that old damn geezer's words, going as far as to disband the Golden Tiger faction in the Twilight Mist sect that was built after decades of my careful planning, and he even began keeping distance from me."

The blonde-haired woman caressed Argon's head lovingly with a malicious glint in her green eyes and continued with a sneer, "But this brat's Legendary Ranked Spirit can turn all these messes into good fortune. Perhaps it was fate that he did what he did. So what if he is a naive and blind fool? Everything will change once I use this."

Saying that, she took out a clear gemstone from her robe that shone like the purest crystal, gleaming with an aura of purity and serenity that could enchant anyone who looked upon it.

Yet, despite this, a single glance revealed something unusual about it—there was a faint, dark presence swirling within.

It was strange how this seemingly holy jewel could carry such a disturbing presence; it was as if the light emanating from it were being tainted by something unknown.

With a flick of her wrist, the gemstone floated onto Argon's chest before entering inside, giving the aura around it a dark and sinister atmosphere.

Soon after, Argon's face twisted in pain as he let out a long groan, struggling in agony on the bed before opening his eyes wide, a bright crimson light coming from them.

His eyes stared into nothingness for what felt like an eternity as the woman looked at him with an amused expression on her face, waiting to see if anything would happen to him.

Then, after what felt like forever, Argon sat up straight with a dazed look in his eyes, causing her to smile in satisfaction, and her cold green gaze met his crimson pair as she called out, "Husband, you are awake."

Argon looked at her, his face blank. But after a while, his aura changed as if he were some other person, a smirk appearing on his lips that spoke volumes to this woman about what was going to happen next, making her shudder in anticipation for what's to come.

"Wife, long time no see."

A beautiful smile crept onto Ava's face when she heard Argon's reply. With the darkness around him growing stronger and stronger, she knew that he was now a perfect puppet.

With Argon's body disappearing out of the blue, everyone felt shocked and looked at that place with widened eyes. But that was nothing compared to the most bewildered expression that Asher had as he stared at the spot where Argon had vanished.

With this abrupt and unexpected occurrence, there was a long, cold silence. It was so quiet that one could hear the sound of the wind blowing.

'How did he escape from my grasp when I had already locked the space with the Astral Nexy Core Orb?' Asher wondered as he clenched his fists and jaw in annoyance at how things turned out, not liking how this man could cause trouble for him in the future.

Nevertheless, after a few moments of shock, he snapped back to reality and realized that it was his own lack of cultivation that let Argon escape just like that, which angered him even more.

He felt someone touching his arm to ease his tension, so when he turned around, he saw Nadia gazing at him with worry, trying to soothe his feelings. "Don't worry about that person, Young Master; even if he comes back to cause trouble, we will get rid of him. There is no need to concern yourself about someone insignificant."

But despite her saying so, Asher shook his head at her with a faint smile, which didn't reach his eyes as he looked at the spot where Argon was. "I would have let it go if it were a few things, but he dared to curse at you, and that is something I cannot accept, so I will make sure that next time he won't get any opportunity to escape."

Then, after taking a deep breath to calm down, he turned his attention to Elder Katrina, who still couldn't believe what happened a moment ago, so he smiled at her with his usual cheerful smile. "Elder Katrina, I apologize for causing a scene and getting a bit excessive with my actions, but this Young Master can't tolerate fools who dare to threaten or insult my woman."
