Chapter 8: The Demon Envoy's Seduction and the First Divine Bounty
---
Section 1: Beneath the Ashen Depths
Deep under the ruined foundation of Ye Sect, something ancient stirred.
Not beast. Not god.
But woman.
Her body rested in a pool of obsidian fire, each flame licking her flawless skin with reverence. Black lotus petals floated around her like mourning whispers.
Her eyes opened slowly—one crimson, one black as night.
"...It has begun," she whispered, licking her lips. "The lustful one has returned."
A demonic sigil ignited on her navel: the Seal of Eternal Desire.
And far above her—Ye Tian stirred.

Section 2: Nightmares in the Moonlight
Ye Tian sat up in his chamber, breath ragged, chest soaked in sweat.
He'd seen her.
Not in person. But in his dream.
A woman with a tail of smoke, lips like sin, and eyes that promised death… or worse: obsession.
> [System Alert: Unknown Entity Triggered Lustbound Dream Sync.] [Warning: High-Level Seduction Field Active.]
"What the hell was that?" he muttered, grabbing the edge of his bed.
Long Yuyan was outside, meditating in frost.
Lira was tending to outer sect disciples.
And the Star Princess floated upside down, bored, in the sky above the courtyard.
He was surrounded by danger—and yet this new presence felt… inevitable.
He had awakened something under his own damn sect.

Section 3: The First Divine Bounty Hunter Arrives
By dawn, chaos came knocking.
Literally.
An explosion blasted open the sect's outer wall.
Ye Tian stepped out calmly… into the path of a man dressed in flowing white, his face masked by celestial flame.
"I am Jinu of the Seventh Heaven," the man declared, drawing a blade made from condensed karma. "I've come to claim your head and the reward of the gods."
Ye Tian cracked his neck.
Behind him, his three harem members stood in various levels of confusion and bloodlust.
"You're the first," Ye Tian said. "Let's make this educational."

Section 4: The Glitch Technique Unleashed
> [System: New Glitch Technique Activated – "Fate Lag"] [Effect: Causes delay in divine perception, movement, and destiny-thread recognition. Target will experience combat 'lags.']
Jinu lunged.
Midair, his form glitched—literally freezing mid-slash.
"Wha—?"
Ye Tian walked casually around him.
Poked his nose.
Then—
BOOM!
One punch to the gut, enhanced by Lustflow Qi, sent Jinu crashing through three trees and into a boulder.
> [System Bonus: Defeated Celestial-Level Cultivator for First Time.] [Reward: Divine Sin Core x1. Lust Domain Expansion: +3%.]
The bounty hunter groaned.
"Impossible…"
Ye Tian crouched beside him. "Tell the Celestial Court: I'm collecting their bounty hunters like trading cards."
Then knocked him out cold.

Section 5: The Demon Envoy Awakens
Below.
In the obsidian tomb.
She stepped out of the flames—nude, save for tattoos of black roses and a veil of shadows. Her horns curved back seductively, her tail swaying.
"My name…" she whispered, touching her lips. "Is Azaria. And my groom… has returned."
She ascended the cavern slowly, the walls bending toward her presence, moaning with the scent of desire and blood.

Section 6: The Seduction Trial Begins
That night, as Ye Tian meditated in the Lust Altar he'd built behind the main hall, the shadows thickened.
A soft laugh echoed.
He turned—
And there she was.
Azaria.
Demonic. Dangerous. Divine.
She stepped barefoot onto the altar like it belonged to her. Her crimson gaze pierced him.
"You're the reason I was sealed for ten thousand years."
She straddled his lap.
"And the reason I'm free."
> [System Alert: Demon Envoy Azaria Initiates Lust Trial.] [Warning: Failure results in eternal soul slavery.]
Ye Tian grinned.
"I've never failed a seduction in my life."

Section 7: Elsewhere, the Court Plots
In Heaven, the Celestial Elders were furious.
"Jinu failed."
"He used a Glitch Technique."
"Send three more."
"And inform the Holy Maiden of Purity. Her chastity curse may be the only thing strong enough to resist his growing Lust Domain."
A holy bell rang.
A woman in pure white robes opened her eyes.
"They want me… to kill the Lustbound One?"
She rose, eyes cold.
"I'll purify him. Or die trying."
