Lee Ji-ho's POV
I didn't even wait for him to finish the sentence. The second he said "strip," the borrowed robe was gone. I yanked the tie, shrugged it off my shoulders, let it puddle on the floor like trash. I was naked. Kneeling. Thighs shoved apart so wide it hurt a little. Hands planted on the sheets, ass up, back arched just enough to make everything on display. No shame except there was, buried deep under the system's iron grip. My dick picked that exact second to buzz harder, like it could sense the heat rolling off him in waves and decided to betray me anyway.
This guy didn't say anything at first. Just circled me slowly, robes making this soft whisper every step like he was stalking something he already owned. I could feel his eyes everywhere, back, ass, the way my cock hung heavy and leaking between my legs, the stupid bulge of the egg low in my belly. He stopped behind me. Close enough I felt heat radiating off him, but it wasn't comforting. It was suffocating. Like being too close to a storm cloud that might zap you.
The system chimed in front of me again like a robot that didn't give a fuck about my feelings.
[Mission Update: Initiate oral absorption of stepbrother's yang essence. Target: 80ml minimum. Technique: Deep throat with full suction. Failure Penalty: 48-hour unrelenting heat cycle + -10% cultivation progress debuff. Begin now or forfeit rewards.]
I wanted to scream at it. Why him? Why my fucking brother, I know we weren't related by blood of cojrs we have different sur names and I'd find out more about the body I took. But why did it have to be this infuriatingly hot person? But the white flash of transmigration had dumped me into this body, this life, and the system didn't care about taboos or resentment. It just wanted data. Harmony. Progress. And it had decided the fastest path was making me service the one person I'd spent years avoiding like the plague.
"Your hole is already greedy," Xao You said, voice dropping low and commanding, like he was reading from a script of entitled bullshit. "Clenching around that toy like it's starving. Pathetic. As if a cheap imitation could satisfy a furnace like yours."
I laughed, but it came out more like a whimper. Pitiful. Weak. "Yeah, well, it's been starving since the white flash ruined my life. What can I say? The system's turning me into a needy bitch against my will."
He knelt behind me. One hand came up, fingers tracing the stretched rim where the egg sat snug. Not teasing, probing, like he was inspecting faulty merchandise. Hard enough to make me jolt, but not enough to give relief. My whole body shook anyway, a pathetic tremble I couldn't control.
"How many have used you?" he demanded, voice flat, like he owned the right to my history.
"Countless," I breathed out, hips twitching back toward his hand on instinct, traitor body. "Back in my old world? Too many to keep track. Clubs, backrooms, random bathrooms at three a.m. you name it, I've probably been bent over it. But none like you. And I don't want any like you, you asshole brother."
He let out this low chuckle that wasn't amused it was mocking, cold, like I'd just told a bad joke. "You know you need help, Now beg for it properly, or I'll make this hurt more than it has to."
The system pinged again, relentless.
[Instruction: Verbal submission required. Beg for oral penetration. Phrase: 'Please, brother, feed me your yang essence with your cock.' Compliance increases absorption efficiency by 20%. Non-compliance: Immediate penalty zap.]
I bit my lip hard enough to taste blood. But the zap from earlier still burned in my meridians like a warning shot. "Please, brother," I whispered, voice cracking, sounding so small and broken it made me want to die. "Feed me your yang essence with your cock. I... I need it for the quest."
His fingers hooked around the base of the egg. No warning. One smooth, firm pull commanding, like he was yanking out a weed.
I gasped so hard my lungs burned. Back arched sharp. Slick dripped down my inner thighs in a warm rush as the toy slid free. The stretch-burn was perfect too much and not enough at the same time. I whined loud enough the sound bounced off the walls, a pitiful keen that made me cringe.
He held the egg up, examined it like it was some sad little curiosity, then flicked it aside. It clattered somewhere behind him.
"Pathetic imitation," he muttered, voice dripping disdain. "You think that could compare to the real thing? Kneel properly now and face me. And open wide. Don't waste my time."
I twisted around on shaky knees, collapsing into a proper kneel before him. Looked up big mistake. His face was all sharp angles and cold eyes, no hint of the warmth I'd stupidly imagined in my haze. Just a demanding bastard who saw me as a tool.
He ignored my glare. Reached down one-handed and freed himself.
I stopped breathing for a second.
Thick. Veiny. Already hard enough the head was flushed dark and leaking this faint glowing precum that looked suspiciously like qi. Ridged just enough to promise absolute destruction in the best way. My mouth actually watered. Like, full-on drool situation. But my stomach churned with disgust right alongside it.
"That's the real thing," I said, voice cracking a little, sounding way too pitiful even to my own ears. "Jesus. Warn a guy, brother."
"Shut up and suck," he commanded, fisting the base and guiding the head right up against my lips. Not gentle circles like before, just pressing, demanding entry. The precum smeared across my mouth, slick and obscene, qi buzzing like a low-voltage shock.
The system chimed.
[Technique Guide: Relax throat muscles. Breathe through nose. Swallow rhythmically to maximize absorption. Target depth: Full insertion. Progress tracker activated.]
I whimpered. Pushed forward hesitantly, lips parting around the head. The taste hit, salty, qi flooding my tongue like hot syrup. I tried to take more, but fuck, I wasn't good at this. Jaw too tight, angle wrong. My teeth grazed the underside clumsy, accidental, born from nerves and resentment bubbling up.
Xao You hissed sharply. Grabbed my hair in a vise grip and yanked me off, hard enough my scalp screamed.
"You bit me," he snarled, eyes flashing with cold fury. "Are you incompetent, or just defying me on purpose, little brother? You are such a horny whore and you can't even handle basic oral without turning into a biter?"
I gasped for air, wiping my mouth, tears pricking my eyes from the pull. "I'm trying, okay?apparently this human has a lot to learn. This fragile fucking shibal of a body."
"Excuses." He slapped my cheek lightly stinging, commanding attention, not affection. "Try again. Lips only. Deeper this time. Or I'll force it down until you learn. Beg for forgiveness first."
The system pinged, merciless.
[Error: Technique failure detected. Biting penalty: -5ml progress. Retry required. Instruction: Apologize and recommence. Failure threshold approaching heat cycle imminent.]
"Please, brother," I choked out, voice small, pitiful. "Forgive me. Let me try again. I'll... I'll do better."
He smirked. Shoved me back down. "Good. Now suck like your life depends on it. Because it does."
I leaned in, desperate, lips sealed tight over teeth. Tongue working awkwardly, throat spasming as he pushed deeper. Messy. Drool everywhere. Gagging softly, but biting down on my instincts. The qi rushed in anyway buzzing, warming my core, but it felt like poison wrapped in pleasure.
[Yang essence absorption: 12ml… 18ml… Inefficient. Increase depth. Warning: 65ml short of quota.]
Xao You's grip tightened, hips rocking forward in shallow, demanding thrusts. "Deeper, furnace. Milk it. Show me you're worth the effort."
I tried gagged hard, teeth scraping again from sheer overwhelm. He yanked me off once more, growling.
"Useless." He tucked himself away roughly, leaving me kneeling there, wrecked and leaking, face flushed and tear-streaked. "We'll continue when you learn to control that mouth."
He turned away, dismissing me like trash.
The system chimed one last time, indifferent.
[Progress: 28ml / 80ml. Failure detected. Penalty activating in 24 hours: Unrelenting heat cycle + brother obsession debuff. New mission unlocked: Escalate to full dual cultivation tomorrow or lose 20% stats.]
I collapsed forward, sobbing quietly into the sheets, tasting him on my tongue.
Best. Fucking. Nightmare. Ever.
