"I'm just curious if a human like you can really resist falling to desire."
No sooner had she spoken than the vivid reddish-gold garments draped over the Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox's body slipped away smoothly.
With them went an exquisitely beautiful nude form.
Her exposed feminine curves were so flawless that no one would think her a monster—they were perfection incarnate for a human.
Full, rounded breasts rose from a slender waist, her pale skin gleaming with a soft luster.
It was like beholding a masterpiece of art.
Any man who laid eyes on this fantastical nudity of hers would plunge into a swamp of lust, losing all sense of self.
-Heh heh.
The Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox flashed a seductive smile as she spoke to Mok Kyung-un.
"What do you think of me?"
She took great pride in her stunning body.
Among the myriad yokai who had amassed enough mystic power over the ages to take human form, few possessed flesh so near to perfection.
'Heh heh heh heh.'
No one had ever withstood the sight of this body.
Not even King Zhou of the Yin dynasty, nor King Wu of Zhou who toppled him—nor the countless kings, princes, generals, and so-called heroes of history who had succumbed to desire.
It was beyond the realm of what any male could endure.
Males were driven by instinct to seek the finest female.
'Those who yield to desire fall swiftly.'
She had corrupted countless men who fell to her temptations.
The ripple effects of that corruption were profound.
For an ordinary man, it might only ensnare family and kin.
But when the victim bore heavy responsibilities, their downfall could sway the fate of nations.
To the Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox, this was the ultimate amusement.
A world plunged into hellish chaos and despair through one man's abyss.
She reveled in the process.
'You won't be the exception.'
The Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox reached out toward Mok Kyung-un, bound by her tail.
She lifted his chin to force him to look at her.
But then,
'!?'
One of her eyebrows arched upward.
She had wondered with what gaze he would behold her nudity.
Yet Mok Kyung-un's eyes were utterly impassive.
It was no different from looking at an ordinary object.
"You..."
Her eyes narrowed.
What was with this guy?
Was he holding back?
Humans not yet of age should be overflowing with lust.
No matter the circumstances, any normal man would be ensnared by desire upon seeing her perfect form.
So how could he stare with such eyes?
It was starting to irritate her.
'Well done, you fool.'
Cheong-ryeong, who had been watching, inwardly rejoiced.
She had feared Mok Kyung-un might succumb to the Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox's nude beauty—even a woman would gasp in admiration—but his blank face lifted her spirits.
"You've got some impressive self-control."
The Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox pouted her lips, then flicked her tongue out to stroke Mok Kyung-un's cheek.
-Swish!
"You're holding back, but how long can that last?"
"......"
Her hand slowly moved toward the tattered remnants of Mok Kyung-un's clothes, clinging to the mystic power orb.
She seized his upper garment and tore it away.
-Rip!
His shirt shredded, bloodstained rags falling to reveal a powerfully muscled torso.
Seeing this, the Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox licked her upper lip.
"Not bad for a young one. Quite the body."
Come to think of it, his face was remarkably— no, exceptionally—handsome.
In thousands of years, such striking male beauty among humans was rare enough to count on one hand.
'Heh.'
Even in seduction and corruption, perfection atop perfection was ideal.
Better if they were tempting to touch, after all.
Having stripped off his upper clothes, the Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox's hand now reached for his lower garments.
-Tight!
At this, Mok Kyung-un summoned his demonic energy, trying to loosen the tail binding him.
But the Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox, a being near divine beast status, possessed mystic power vast as the open sea—it didn't budge an inch.
To the resisting Mok Kyung-un, she spoke in a scolding tone.
"Stay still. Big sis will take care of everything."
With that, her hand reached his waistband.
As she gripped the hem, Cheong-ryeong cried out urgently.
-No!
At once, to protect Mok Kyung-un, Cheong-ryeong summoned blood-formed thorns surging toward the Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox's tail.
-Pop pop pop!
Yet the blood thorns Cheong-ryeong conjured inflicted no damage on the tail.
Instead, they oozed and scattered in droplets.
"You're getting annoying. Maybe I should kill you first..."
-Flinch!
In that instant, the Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox glanced at Mok Kyung-un.
His face remained impassive, but a faint killing intent emanated from him.
It was subtle, almost imperceptible, yet she sensed it.
'Look at this one.'
The moment she showed intent to kill the resentful spirit, he revealed emotion for the first time.
This intrigued her.
She had pegged him as nearly emotionless, unmoved even by fear of death—yet here he reacted to a mere resentful spirit, not even a living human.
What was their connection?
-Hum!
Lowly yokai might not see it, but the Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes beheld it clearly.
The karmic thread linking them.
It meant they shared the ancient master-servant bond of a shikigami.
Yet why did she sense such deep affinity between them?
-Sneer!
The corners of her mouth curled wickedly.
Having corrupted countless humans over millennia, she knew their emotional weaknesses better than anyone.
Thus,
-Fwoosh!
-What the!
She extended her hand, forming a mystic barrier that instantly ensnared Cheong-ryeong.
The startled Cheong-ryeong tried to break it with her spiritual power, but
-Crackle!
-Huhk!
The moment it touched the mystic power, she was repelled.
Burning agony turned her spirit-formed hands pitch-black in an instant.
It looked as if the mystic power had corroded her.
"Hey, resentful spirit. If you don't want to dissipate, stay put. Keep acting up and..."
-Chomp!
Before the Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox's warning finished, Cheong-ryeong gritted her teeth and hurled herself at the barrier again.
She sharpened all her energy into a blade, turning herself into a sword to shatter it.
-Slash! Crackle crackle!
Even as a spirit, she was a swordmaster.
And through time with Mok Kyung-un, she had gained insights.
Not as a resentful spirit, but as a swordmaster—her will transcended even her spiritual power in that moment.
-Crackle crackle!
'!?'
The Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox's eyebrow twitched.
Even a high-grade resentful spirit was cracking her mystic barrier.
This spirit... willing to sacrifice anything?
Her lips twitched.
'Can't let that happen.'
If the spirit dissipated, this intriguing human's emotions would dull.
She wouldn't allow it.
-Crackle crackle!
-Aaaah!
Lightning-like azure bolts erupted within the barrier, engulfing Cheong-ryeong.
Struck in her spirit form, she screamed in torment.
Just then.
-Kraaack!
The Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox's tail tightened further around Mok Kyung-un's body.
Her eyes gleamed.
The vicious black energy within him had surged stronger.
This confirmed it.
'...Not emotionless after all.'
He had emotions.
They were simply deeply buried, not showing.
A truly emotionless being might be different, but this buried depth changed everything.
-Smack!
One of her tails slapped his cheek.
It seemed a mere slap, but immense yokai force shook his skull and brain.
Dazed, Mok Kyung-un's head lolled.
-Lick!
The Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox licked his cheek as she spoke.
"You'd better stay still. Or I'll really make that spirit dissipate."
Her gaze flicked to the barrier, where Cheong-ryeong lay sprawled on the ground, dazed, her spirit form badly damaged.
Its transparency signaled a dire state.
Lying motionless like that, she was likely struggling to hold her fading spirit together.
"...Is this a threat?"
"Doesn't feel like one? Test it if you want."
"Threats like that don't really..."
"Don't really what?"
At the Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox's words, Mok Kyung-un fell silent.
Normally, he would have shrugged and told her to do as she pleased.
Yet a strange feeling stirred.
Unaccountably, he didn't want to see Cheong-ryeong vanish.
'...What is this?'
Did he have anything left besides vengeance and malice?
No. Mercy or pity were irrational to him—this feeling defied logic.
Yet rationally, it made no sense, so why did he hate the thought of Cheong-ryeong dying?
He couldn't comprehend it.
Right then.
"You seem to grasp the situation, so shall we continue?"
-Slash!
No sooner had she spoken than her hand tore away Mok Kyung-un's pants.
His garments rent, leaving him completely nude.
"Heh heh heh heh."
The Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox laughed brightly, slowly lowering her head to savor the moment.
No part of a male was more honest than that.
Even in death's throes, it sought to leave seed—beyond reason's control.
With such a perfect female form so near, how would it react...
'......'
In an instant, her expression turned icy.
Her expectation of some reaction was utterly wrong.
Staring at Mok Kyung-un's unchanged state, for the first time in millennia, her pride smarted.
'Is that how it is?'
Fueled by defiance, the Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox pressed her body against his.
-Squish!
Her full breasts met his firm muscles.
-Smack!
She wrapped one lithe leg around his hips, breathing seductively into his ear.
"Haa. I'll turn you into a beast."
