Chapter 64: The Forbidden Fruit of the Elite

Her hand remained on Kai’s chest, her palm soft but unyielding, a barrier between him and the retreating figure of Ye Fang.

"He’s a coward," Kai spat, his voice vibrating against her manicured fingernails. "He turned his back. He ran away."

Li Hua laughed, a tinkling, cruel sound that grated on Kai’s nerves. She withdrew her hand slowly, trailing her fingers down his uniform in a mocking caress.

"My student is not a coward, Kai," she purred, her eyes dancing with amusement. "He is a dragon. And dragons do not stop to trample every ant that crosses their path. He just doesn't want to waste his time on you."

She stepped closer, the floral scent of her expensive perfume enveloping him.

"And I hope you understand," Li Hua whispered, tilting her head, "that not everyone is useless like you."

"Useless?"

Kai’s eyes narrowed. The insult lit a fire in his belly that had nothing to do with Qi. He took a step forward, invading her personal space, using his height to look down at her.

"Fuck you," Kai growled, his voice dropping to a dangerous rumble. "I am not useless. And you will get to know this very soon."

Li Hua raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow. She looked him up and down, her gaze lingering on his broad shoulders, noticing the subtle change in his physique that his robes tried to hide.

"Yeah, you are right," she mused, tapping her chin with a finger. "I heard your little group also completed their mission at the West Dormitory. I saw the report this morning."

She smirked, a look of genuine surprise flickering in her eyes.

"I didn't expect that from you losers. Surviving a Cursed Spirit? Impressive. Perhaps you aren't completely trash."

"Yeah, we did," Kai shot back, his confidence surging. "And you know what else we're gonna do? I am gonna win the tournament."

He leaned in, his face inches from hers.

"Three months, Li Hua. I’m going to defeat Ye Fang. I’m going to break your precious genius in half. And don't forget about that bet."

Li Hua’s smile didn't waver. "I didn't forget, Kai. I am a woman of my word. I will do whatever you say if you win."

"Whatever I say," Kai repeated, his eyes darkening as they dropped to her lips. "And you don't know what I will do."

Li Hua hummed, the sound vibrating in her throat. She looked at him—really looked at him. She saw the hunger in his eyes. It wasn't just the hunger for victory; it was the hunger of a man who wanted to conquer.

"I know, Kai," she whispered, her voice turning sultry. "You are a man. And I know exactly what a man wants."

She glanced around. The courtyard was empty; the other students had moved to the training grounds. They were shielded by the trunk of the massive spirit tree.

Li Hua smirked. A wicked, arrogant light entered her eyes.

"You want to see what you're fighting for?"

She reached down.

Her hands, adorned with jade rings, gripped the hem of her magnificent white and gold instructor’s robes. The fabric was the finest silk, shimmering in the sunlight.

Slowly, deliberately, she began to lift them.

Kai’s breath hitched. "What are you..."

She didn't stop. She raised the heavy layers of silk higher, revealing ankles wrapped in silk ribbons, then calves that were smooth and pale as cream. She lifted the fabric past her knees, exposing thighs that were thick, soft, and utterly flawless.

She stopped at her hips.

She wasn't wearing trousers beneath her robes. Just a strip of translucent white silk—a pair of panties so delicate they looked like they would dissolve if touched.

Li Hua held his gaze, her eyes mocking him. Then, she hooked a finger into the waistband of the panties.

She pulled them down.

"Look, Kai."

Kai’s eyes went wide. "What the fuck..."

He looked. He couldn't help it.

Li Hua exposed herself completely.

Between her porcelain thighs lay a treasure that most men in the empire would kill to glimpse. Her pussy was immaculate. It was a neat, perfectly groomed mound, hairless and smooth. The lips were a delicate, pale pink, pressed tightly together but glistening with a faint, natural moisture.

It was perfect. It looked untouched, pristine, and incredibly inviting.

"See this?" Li Hua whispered, shaking her hips slightly so the pink flesh trembled.

"My pussy," she declared, her voice dripping with superiority. "It’s a royal pussy, Kai. Only high-class clan people can breed this. Only men with power, with lineage, with true strength are allowed to enter here."

She let the fabric of her panties snap back up, covering the prize, but the image was already burned into Kai’s retina.

"And you?" she laughed softly, dropping her robes back down to her ankles. "You are not high class. You are a branch family mutt."

She stepped back, smoothing the silk over her hips.

"You will never be able to have this," she said cruelly. "Because I know you will never win against Ye Fang."

She lowered her gaze. She looked directly at the front of Kai’s trousers.

His reaction was undeniable. The sight of her flashing him had sent blood rushing straight to his groin. A massive, tented bulge pushed against the fabric of his uniform, twitching with angry lust.

Li Hua giggled. She pointed at it.

"So good luck, kid," she teased. "You should take care of that little monster yourself. Haha..."

She turned on her heel, her long black hair whipping around to slap him lightly on the arm.

She walked away, her hips swaying with an exaggerated, rhythmic motion beneath the silk robes. She knew he was watching. She wanted him to watch. She wanted him to know exactly what was out of his reach.

Kai stood rooted to the spot, his fists clenched so hard his nails dug into his palms. His heart was pounding a frantic rhythm against his ribs—half from rage, half from an erection that felt like it might explode.

He watched her retreating figure, the way her ass moved, the memory of that pink, pristine slit flashing in his mind.

"You bitch," Kai whispered, his voice shaking with a dark, terrible promise.

He glared at her back until she disappeared into the pavilion.

"I promise you," Kai swore to the empty air. "When I win... you are going to regret all of this. I’m going to take that royal pussy and breed it until you forget your own name."
