Cheng Yin sat in the Obsidian Palace and waited for Shao Wan to fall into his trap.

He knew with certainty she would come. He had taken her mount, the one person she would walk through fire to protect. He had been too careless before, thinking just taking her whip would be sufficient, but he had made sure he would capture her this time. He would own her. He would put a leash on her, and he would drag her everywhere, as a sign of his power.

As he lounged in his favorite chair in the throne room, sipping some wine, he chuckled. Things had gone well for him at that "peace" festival. What a laughable affair! The God of War had made a fool of himself trying to get the Demons to swear to peace. He was too stupid: Demons knew nothing of peace and certainly didn't give a rat's ass about upholding it. Cheng Yin was certain they'd all fall in line behind him as soon as he got his hands on Shao Wan - as would most of the Ghost generals. Then, he would not stop until the Nine Heavens were in ruins and all the Celestials dead or enslaved. He would personally kill Mo Yuan, but only after keeping him in absolute misery for as long as it entertained him.

In front of him, Fong Hung groaned but did not regain consciousness, even after Cheng Yin kicked him hard.

Fong Hung flickered in and out of his animal form already, after so little torture - how weak he was. Cheng Yin had never understood why someone as glorious and powerful as Shao Wan had chosen such a weakling for a mount when she could have tamed anything.

He pondered how much she had changed since her resurrection. If only he could have found her in time, to subjugate her immediately after her rebirth, he wouldn't have had to trouble himself with "peace talks" and other such ludicrous things. He would have killed Mo Yuan days ago.

The way Shao Wan looked at that Celestial was outrageous. Cheng Yin had smelled her constant arousal in the negotiation room, and it had made him want to take her right then and there, roughly, with Mo Yuan watching. How could she desire such a man? Someone who had killed so many Demons during the First Demon War, bringing humiliation to her own people? Being a heap of ash for so long had muddled with her brains and had made her weak - that's why he wanted to punish her before he used her body and spirit to get back at their enemies.

Leisurely, Cheng Yin heated up a long metal rod with his magic and poked Fong Hung with it. It was no fun though, the mount wouldn't budge. He only bled and made a mess on the stone floor.

Cheng Yin had to admit that one thing had not gone entirely as planned at the festival and he was still a little puzzled about it. He'd first tried his charms on the Purple Demon Queen, but she was probably frigid. Or did she love women? That would explain why she sucked up to Shao Wan and never had any men around her. Even her bodyguards were women - and quite desirable specimens, at that. Whatever the reason, he had failed to seduce Yi Mei Niang which had enraged him enough to go on a binge drinking rampage.

However, a new opportunity to cause grief had arisen shortly after. It had come when Mo Yuan's promised bride, a slight woman in pink whose name he didn't know, accidentally looked at Cheng Yin during a dance performance on the fouth day. She immediately cast down her eyes, like any proper Celestial woman would do. However, he knew how to read women's glances very well - and since he clearly saw interest there, he decided on the spot he would sully Mo Yuan's property for fun since he was so utterly bored with everything there.

Finding opportunities to sweet-talk her in private had been difficult, but he had skills. Sneaking away to the coral wall with her on the last evening after everybody believed he had left had been the easier part because she was inebriated. He was too, but not as much. She was surprisingly willing, which just proved to him once again how hypocritical Celestials were. Leaning her back against the coral wall, he had put his tongue to good use - the only thing he liked about Celestials was their taste - and had made her come several times in rapid succession. She made little squeaking sounds when she climaxed, quite annoying.
