Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Silver Flames – When the Moon Burns Jealous

The moment Chen Ming stepped back into Ye Yue's domain, the air thickened.

Moonlight, once soft and silver, dimmed around him.

The scent of wild jasmine curled through the space, no longer gentle, but heady and intoxicating. A hush fell—too quiet, too still.

Then she appeared.

Ye Yue. Moonborn. Eternal.

Her silver hair was unbound, cascading over her shoulders like rivers of starlight. Her eyes glowed—not with serene wisdom, but with something sharper. Wilder.

Fury, he realized.

She stood before him barefoot, wrapped in nothing but a sheer veil of silk that clung to her like mist, her divine aura pulsing in waves that bent the air. The room, the light, the very essence of the space seemed to hold its breath.

"You reek of her," she said quietly, stepping closer. "Fire. War. Her."

Chen hesitated, still breathless from his encounter with Emberia.

"Ye Yue—wait. She came to me. I didn't—"

"But you didn't stop her."

Her voice was soft. Almost gentle.

And yet every word landed like a blade. Beneath the calm veneer lay a storm—possessiveness, jealousy, and something far more primal.

His system flickered at the edge of his thoughts.

She reached him in two strides, her fingers ghosting over his collar. Then—

In a blur of moonlight, Chen was pinned.

His back hit a glowing wall of ethereal silk, conjured from nowhere, as if the moon herself had decided to restrain him. Ye Yue's body pressed against his, supple yet unyielding, her breath hot at his throat.

"You're mine first," she whispered.

And then she kissed him.

Hard.

Gone was the tenderness of before. This was a tidal wave crashing down—raw, hungry, claiming. Her lips devoured his, her hands threading through his hair, nails scraping just enough to make him shudder.

He gasped into her mouth, hips arching toward her without thought.

"…Jealousy," he panted, "looks really good on you."

Her lips curved against his skin. "Don't test me, mortal," she whispered. "I gave you my body, yes. But not yet my trust. And now…"

Her eyes narrowed.

"…you've been touched by another goddess."

Then she dropped to her knees.

"Which means I must purify you."

She didn't tease.

There was no slow descent, no drawn-out temptation.

Her mouth enveloped him in one fluid motion, her tongue moving with divine precision—every flick, every suction, perfectly calculated. A priestess in worship. A goddess in vengeance.

Chen moaned, his hands scrambling for purchase on the silk wall behind him, hips bucking involuntarily.

It wasn't just pleasure. It was reclamation.

Ye Yue's silver eyes locked onto his. Her gaze never left him, glowing brighter with every twitch, every gasp she coaxed from his trembling body.

"Say it," she murmured against his skin. "Say who you belong to."

His breath hitched. "I'm yours, Ye Yue."

"Louder."

He groaned. "I'm yours!"

She smiled. Then rose.

Her veil vanished.

In one swift motion, she mounted him—impaling herself with a gasp that echoed through the chamber.

No teasing now.

She rode him with furious purpose—every motion a declaration, every cry a stake driven deeper into his soul.

"You think I'll let them take you?" she growled into his ear. "You think they can love you like this? Please you like this?"

Chen gripped her hips, meeting her thrusts, the fire of Emberia a distant, forgotten ember beneath the cool-burning intensity of the moon goddess above him.

Their bodies moved like they had always known each other.

Like the cosmos had written this rhythm in the stars long before either of them breathed.

The silk walls trembled. The moonlight brightened until it burst around them like a nova.

And they cried out.

Together.

Over and over.

Until there was nothing left but breath, sweat, and divine silence.

She collapsed atop him, her body a glowing furnace of divine heat.

Her cheek rested against his chest, damp with exertion. For a long time, neither of them spoke.

When Ye Yue finally did, her voice was hoarse. Vulnerable.

"I'm not angry, Chen Ming. I expect them to come for you. You're the God of Yang now. You're mine."

She looked up at him, eyes soft again—no longer glowing, but filled with a quieter fire.

"But if they want a piece of you…" She smirked faintly. "They'd better be ready to share."

Chen exhaled, brushing silver strands from her face.

"…Yeah," he murmured. "I think I'm in trouble."

She smiled, eyes closing as she nestled against him.

"Only if you run."
