Huo Wei Hu gritted his teeth in frustration-the remnant of his reasoning lost in deep peril. Shutting his eyes to shield against the bewitching woman, his shaky hands draped her robes back on, but it did nothing to subside the raging vortex of lust. He felt his inner beast threatening to break free from the cage with a savage hunger to claim his mate right here and now.

Summoning as much spiritual energy within him as he could mustered at the moment, a thick condensed wild flame shot forward from his palm, accelerating at hyper sonic speed as it angrily blasted through the door; everything within its path were decimated, including the firm barrier caught within its wrath. Quickly, as he desperately clung to the non-existent fragment of logic, he scooped Yu Liang into his arms and dashed out of their confinement.

As distance between the entrapped doors overflowing with forbidden heavenly powder of euphoria grew, lucidity soon submerged beneath those deep pools of inky eyes. Peering down at the sluggish, beautiful woman in his arms, he gave a wry groan as he suppressed the bulging hardness on his lower body part.

Yu Liang blinked her unfocused eyes-her limp body nestled comfortably in a warm embrace. She lifted her head and was greeted with an inhumanly good looking man. His forehead was covered in translucent beads of sweat. The most wondrous and peculiar set of eyes gazed at her, boiling with lust and deep capacity of love.

Love? She shook jolted out of her smitten daze. Staring once more into his pitch-dark pupils, she was transfixed by those obsidian irises and an indescribable feeling washed over her.

Is this man for real? But, can a demon even love without a soul when their very existence defies the creation of life? Yet, what is this feeling stirring deep within my core?

A tremble ran through her as sensual images poured into her mind-their entangled body, the touch of his hand, the heat from his body, and his soul-shattering kiss.

Suddenly, Yu Liang felt as if she was burning on fire. Her body flushed, swelling in embarrassment. Maybe it was just a hallucination effect! But, she could still feel the tingling sensation of her intense orgasm and knew without a doubt, that whatever images her mind sent her, had actually transpired between the two of them.

A grim smile appeared on her face. The fourth trial of lust and temptation had left her unbalanced. She had lost her chastity even if he hadn’t taken her virginity. She wasn’t sure if she should feel grateful or wallow in disappointment.

Before she could mocked herself further in self-loathing, his deep voice penetrated through her. “This lord is barely holding onto his sanity, if you continue making that face, I can’t guarantee your purity, but we should wait until our marriage.”

At once, the tight knot coiled around her heart dissipated and her worries were scattered to oblivion. She had thought she heard wrongly, but the confrontation with those intensely dark obsidian eyes fortified with such seriousness, told her otherwise.

“Huo Wei-…” before she could finished, she felt a burning gaze drilling a hole into the back of her head. The hair on her neck stood up in warning.

Turning to face the owner of the mental assault, she came face to face with a pair of eagle sharp eyes with vivid violet irises, brimming with intense hatred. Yu Liang slightly moved back in shock. What kind of enmity do they have between them for the woman to have such hostility toward her?

The woman was dressed in a dark purple robe, with a black waist belt, accentuating her voluptuous curves. Her long silver hair draped down her figure gracefully and if not for that indignant frown overcast on her face, she would have been like an exotic lotus flower. Her violet eyes soften as it flickered to the man beside her.

Suddenly, Yu Liang had an epiphany. Once again, this man brought her nothing but trouble. Since meeting him, she made more enemies than she could count. She shot him a disgruntled look.

His raised his slender brows, as the dark hues of his eyes sparkled with humor. “This lord only needs you to warm his bed for a lifetime, why the grumpy look my dear wife?”

Before her crimson face could retort back to his shameless comment, a purple figure launched herself on Huo Wei Hu. A kind of sour, astringent and peculiar feeling filled Yu Liang’s heart. His close proximity with the woman greatly bothered her.

“Wei Huo, it’s me, Yin M-…” her dark figure was flung across the pagoda before her speech was finished. He brusquely cut off their exchange with disgust in his eyes.

A stream of blood gushed from the corner of her mouth. Her dark violet eyes hazed over with moisture as she stared at him with an aggrieved look.

Yin Mei looked at the man of her dreams in disbelief. For as long as she known him, he had never shown any emotions on his face, but now whenever he looked at that human girl, his expression would soften, and that cold facade would melt into tenderness. The indifferent attitude that refused to crumble would gaze at the mortal with compassion and affection.

Despite the pressure of her criticism upon him, he remained unperturbed. His attitude greatly agitated her. Unwillingness suffused her envious heart.

I am one the immortal guardian of the divine chaos pagoda, even stronger than Guardian Cao. I have cultivated for thousands of years! That slut without any inner-energy, how could she possibly compare to me? Whether by appearance or talent, the human could not compete on equal grounds with me. Such a trash is unworthy of his benevolence!

As he continued to ignore her like her existence couldn’t even enter his eyes, she fumed in anger as her heart felt pierced by his negligence. She knew better than anyone that if Huo Wei Hu weren’t exhausted from the fourth trial of temptation and hadn’t expended most of his energy to save both the human girl and himself, that force from his palm would have greatly damage her divine core.

The man she placed high up on the pedestal, she had confidence that the fourth trial would be a breeze for him. Who knew the ice berg would melt under the hands of a human girl that had cost him to succumb to the desires and nearly led to both of their death. An unpleasant smile emerged on her face. There are still four trials left, plenty of opportunity for a mere mortal to die.

Huo Wei Hu’s dismissal toward the ivory skinned beauty, although cruel, had dispelled the insecurity swirling in Yu Liang’s head and a pleasant lukewarm feeling flushed through her heart. Since she did not recognize the new incomer, then there could only be one possibility- a new guardian.

The drama had brought clarity back to her as she began to scan their surroundings. Her eyes narrowed as all the locked doors were smoked to smithereens due to the destructive force behind Huo Wei Hu’s fiery colored flames. With the defensive barrier erected on the fourth floor of the pagoda shattered, each pair of contestants inside their respective doors began to rush out.

Some doors revealed pair of lovers, still lost in the mist of carnal desire, unable to stop. Those who had succumbed to the lust and completed the merger of yin and yang had become sealed inside, as if an invisible force was caging them, unable to escape as their life gradually began to fade and their existence ceased to be.

Such a daunting trial! If she and Huo Wei Hu had sex back there… her body shuddered at the terrifying consequences of failing the fourth trial. Suddenly, a small bundle of mass crashed into her and she saw the messy hair of Yu Tian with his disheveled robes and flushed cheeks. Behind him, stood Da Niu, panting heavily as he stared at Yu Tian’s small frame.

Her heart constricted as a dark foreboding lurked over them before she detonated with pure unrestrained rage.
