Dual Cultivation: Beasts and Women!
Chapter 64: No Way Out

'Incubus? It looks like this newbie got a dual cultivation demon!' Felicity opened her eyes wide before moving, using the palm of one of her open hands to strike Liam's left shoulder.

As soon as her palm reached Liam, she knocked him unconscious, causing the incubus demon to disappear and the black-haired boy's purple haze to dissipate.

Liam only felt his vision blur and then darkness enveloped his vision, his senses shutting down like an electrical system that had just been turned off.

It all happened so fast that he had no time to despair or feel pain.

...

Suddenly, Liam's brow furrowed, wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, and several expression lines marked his forehead.

As his lips parted, he let out a slight sound of pain, moving his neck as he awoke from his previous situation. For a moment, he forgot where he was, what had happened, not even realizing his current situation.

"Shit! What's this pain?" He muttered as he looked down, especially towards his left shoulder, where he felt as if his bones had been broken.

"You've been out for 40 minutes. That's impressive. I almost thought I'd killed you."

The moment he heard that velvety, thin voice, Liam shuddered, looked ahead, and saw the beautiful figure from earlier. Meanwhile, the memories of what had happened filled his mind.

Gulp!

'I attacked her?!' He remembered how it had all happened, how he had smelled the sweetest perfume and then lost control.

But as he comprehended how he had lost consciousness, he felt the ropes wrapping around his wrists and heels as he was tied to an iron chair.

'Shit! Did she see the incubus? Is that why she kidnapped me?'

The thoughts raced through his mind as his face paled.

Felicity added fuel to the fire of Liam's thoughts. "Are you a dual cultivator?"

Liam opened his eyes wide, missing the full beauty of the orange-haired woman standing twelve meters in front of him, inside this large, enclosed cultivation room. He felt the sensation of losing his ground, of being alone, of facing death.

If she had found out what he was capable of, it was only a matter of time before word got out and a group of men hunted him down!

'I'm dead! All this woman has to do is decide to talk about it with others, and she doesn't even have to lift a finger to get me killed!' He feared for his life, already shaking violently.

She saw Liam panicking and sighed, taking a step closer to the boy. "What's your name, brat? It was really brave of you to go up against a senior."

"L-Liam P-Porter." He stammered as he answered. "Senior... I, I-I made a m-mistake." He tried to remove himself from the situation, though he doubted that any member of Demon Gate would forgive him.

Either way, he was really screwed now. That was for sure!

'Shit! A fucking third realm Spirit Master! Why did you show yourself to her? Did you really let me do that?' Liam asked the incubus, who had a strange look on his face at the moment.

'Don't blame me. That woman seduced you. One of her Spirits has a strong seductive power. I can feel it. The saturation you felt earlier was her seducing you. I just didn't expect her to seduce me as well.' The incubus said in an uncertain tone, the first time he had spoken like that since he had met Liam.

'Anyway, replace a way to keep us alive. I'll be more careful next time. I just didn't think that I, the master of seduction, would fall for it.' He admitted with difficulty.

'Pathetic!' Liam thought to himself, but there was really nothing he could do about.

'What can I do? I can't just say she seduced me and it wasn't my fault. She might be an irrational cultivator. If I deflect the blame, it could make my situation worse.' Liam thought quickly and came up with what he needed to escape a brutal death.

"Senior, please forgive this junior's impertinence. It was entirely my fault," he said, a little less shaken, a help from the incubus that subtly controlled Liam's heightened emotional side.

Felicity liked what she heard and stopped just a few feet in front of Liam, making him look up to look deep into her eyes.

Feeling one of her fingers touch his chin, forcing him to look at her, Liam felt sweat drip from his forehead, still smelling her scent.

'Is she still playing with me? What a cruel woman!'

She bit her lips and then pulled away.

"Liam, you were lucky today. I won't kill you for daring to seduce me. And I won't tell anyone about the dual cultivation demon you gained as your first Spirit."

"If?" He asked, imagining that there was some kind of important condition about to be said.

"If you help me with something. It's not now, but in the future. I won't lie to you. You and I are both weak as we are now. But you with your dual cultivation, and me with my own abilities, we can become stronger.

When you become a fourth realm cultivator, I want you to help me kill someone."

Her voice changed as she spoke, from a sweet, charming voice to the angry tone of someone who could kill and devour an enemy's body.

As she spoke the last sentence, Felicity looked at the door of this cultivation room on the third level of the temple and clenched her fists.

'One day I'm going to kill you, Robert Nickle!'

Liam didn't know what was on Felicity's mind, but he couldn't help but think about the only way out for him. 'I have no choice but to help her. But won't that guarantee my death in the future?'

"Can you tell me what it will be like? Who will we be up against?" He inquired.

She turned to him and shook her head negatively. "When you and I go to deal with it, I'll tell you everything there is to tell. For now, you and I won't have much to talk about, so there's no need for you to know these details so soon."

"If the Senior assures you will protect my secret, then I agree."

She nodded to him and took from her spatial ring a special sheet with runes on it, a Magic Contract.

Magic Contracts were nothing more than ordinary paper with special runes that guaranteed that those who signed it would fulfill the words written on it. In other words, if you had such a contract, you could write whatever you wanted on it, and it would accept whatever you signed.

The signature was not like an earthly signature, but the cultivator's blood and mana, something that could not be forged.

"By the way, my name is Felicity. You might have been seduced by me earlier, so even if you hadn't agreed, I wouldn't have exposed you," Felicity said after seeing Liam's 'signature' on the contract.

'Of course you would.' Liam closed his eyes as he felt his wrists and heels loosen again as he sighed in defeat. 'At least I'm still alive. I was tricked, but that was a lesson for me to be more careful!'
