A Villain's Way of Taming Heroines

Although she didn't know how he manipulated the Elder Princess, since he could play games with a monster like Hydral, he must be an existence on par with him.

So the empire was hiding such a dangerous person...

Ravenna quickly threw away useless information and thoughts, since the situation was now clear... she could determine what to do.

Hydral claimed that he would not directly threaten to limit her, which means that he would not directly tamper with this puppet, but would most likely really fix it, then send the puppet back, just like last time.

It's just this process... what he's looking forward to, is probably this process.

Ravenna calmed down, there was nothing to fear about this, after all, she had made a decision before asking Ansel for help.

As long as she can survive this play, or simply comply a little, not to arouse his bad taste, she can safely get through this disaster, and then get out of this damn puppet body.

Yes... it should be like this.

Although it's been three years since they last met, in Ravenna's eyes, Ansel is still that inherently chaotic and evil guy, any resistance from her will only make him more intense.

She just needs to lie flat and let him manipulate that body, after all, it's just a puppet.

Moreover, now that the puppet is basically scrapped, she can't perceive anything, it doesn't matter —

"!!!"

If Ravenna's soul is compared to a human body, then she now feels a strong tingling sensation, shooting from the tailbone directly to the back of the brain.

If her body could move, she would probably be curled up from the shock of this sensation.

"How does it feel? Ravenna?" Ansel's voice echoed in her soul again.

"You've never experienced this kind of pleasure, have you? Hmm... actually, I don't know what you're feeling right now, but theoretically, you should be very happy."

The reason why Ravenna's soul can be attached to the puppet and act normally is because the puppet has a suitable etheric circuit that simulates the qualifications of extraordinary beings, which can bear the soul of the extraordinary.

If Ravenna's soul is randomly stuffed into an ordinary wooden puppet, even if Ravenna has a deep understanding of soul magic, she won't be able to hold on for long and will perish.

And now, most of the etheric circuits on this puppet have been burned and destroyed by Evora, and the core of Ansel's current repair work is to reconnect the etheric circuits.

The weak soul, which is constantly rejecting this puppet body, is being pulled and... pierced again and again in the connection of the etheric circuits.

Each reconnection of the circuit, each reflow of ether, rushes to Ravenna's soul, filling it, restoring it, this feeling... is indescribable.

As time passed, Ravenna could even feel the etheric circuits drawn by Ansel, drawing shapes in her soul, because the soul was too weak and craved ether, it was extremely sensitive at this moment.

"Ravenna, I still remember the first time I repaired your puppet three years ago."

Ansel said softly, "You were very resistant to me at that time, but in the end, you let me do the repair, do you remember why?"

As the etheric circuitry gradually mends, the puppet regains its physiological functions. Yet, Ravenna keeps her eyes tightly shut, feigning obliviousness to the unfolding events.

She is acutely aware of her current state; the puppet is not laid flat on the workbench, but rather... nestled in the arms of Ansel.

Ansel whispers in her ear, "Because you're a pragmatist, and I am indeed capable of repairing your puppet. That's all there is to it, isn't it?"

"..."

"What are you afraid of now? Aren't you a pure rationalist? Am I not repairing your puppet? Or is it that my skills are not up to your satisfaction?"

"Mmm!"

A soft moan escapes her tightly sealed lips. Ansel alters the speed and method of connecting the etheric circuits, bringing her different sensations as he penetrates and fills the ether in Ravenna's soul under varying degrees of urgency and gentleness…

Sometimes he brutally penetrates the circuit, striking the gaps that need to be filled in her soul; sometimes he is as silent as the dew, gently and tenderly grinding over a large part of her soul, soaking and mending it.

Ether is the blood of extraordinary beings. The pursuit of power by extraordinary beings often partly shifts to the pursuit of ether. Most extraordinary beings can experience unparalleled pleasure when absorbing ether, and when this pleasure directly acts on the soul...

Just as Ansel said, no one knows how Ravenna is feeling right now.

"Ravenna, if you continue like this, being the Ravenna I don't recognize, I might have to resort to some more interesting methods, such as..."

On the puppet's torso, the etheric circuit that was just one stroke away from being fully connected suddenly stops. Ansel's finger, acting as the engraving tool for the circuit and the guide for the flow of ether, remains there, not advancing a bit, but instead grinding in circles on the spot.

Ravenna, with her incredibly sensitive soul, only feels a warm and comfortable ether stuck there, neither rising nor falling, in a position that makes her soul instinctively crave, able to sense that joy and sweetness, yet always maintaining that infuriating one-step distance.

"Ravenna, Ravenna," Ansel whispers in her ear with a light laugh, "Are you afraid of me? Afraid of this person you despise so much?"

Upon hearing these words, Ravenna slowly opens her eyes and says in a cold tone, "I just woke up—"

Her words are suddenly stuck in her throat.

Because when she opened her eyes, Ravenna saw herself.

—The puppet body was being held in Ansel's arms, with his fingers acting as an alchemical carving knife, drawing the etheric circuit. That's not the key point, the key is... Ansel had placed a full-length mirror in front of them.

Ravenna was looking at this puppet, this version of herself.

"What did you just say?" Ansel asked.
