Crossing the Bound World

There were, of course, other professions, but I won't list them all. "Isn't this the world I've always wanted?" Here, I can be restrained with a clear conscience. Liu Mengqi was overjoyed. "Have you decided which god you want to gain power from? The God of War grants the power of combat, allowing you to cultivate various martial arts and become a chivalrous heroine. Your father awakened the power of combat. Of course, the God of Magic is also good; you can become a mage and cultivate various spells to protect your home with magic. I awakened the power of magic," Liu Mengqi's mother, Liu Ye, asked. "What about the God of Restraint?" "Child, you want to choose the God of Restraint? Although the power of restraint from the God of Restraint is powerful, it requires a long transition period in the early stages. Furthermore, the cultivation methods for the power of restraint are all in the Temple of Restraint. The Temple of Restraint stipulates that to join, one must undergo various restraint training, be enslaved for several years, and serve citizens. Only after cultivating the power of restraint to the third tier through enslavement can one join the Temple of Restraint. Keep in mind that choosing the power of combat or magic allows one to become a general at the third tier. That's why we nobles rarely choose the God of Restraint; we fear being ridiculed by other nobles," Mother Liu Ye said. "This is wonderful! I love the feeling of being enslaved," Liu Mengqi thought to herself. "Mother, I want to choose the God of Restraint. What does enduring some hardship in the early stages matter!" Liu Mengqi said firmly. "Mengqi, have you thought this through? You've offended many noble ladies before. If they find out you've chosen the God of Restraint and will be enslaved by the populace, can you tolerate it?" Liu Ye asked, puzzled. Her child was a little devil; how could she choose the God of Restraint? She hadn't seen any masochistic tendencies in her at all. "I've made up my mind. What's there to fear from such trivial matters?" "This is not a game, child. After making your choice, your soul will be bound to the God of Restraint, and you won't be able to change it later. Only women with masochistic tendencies choose the God of Restraint. Only then can they become more powerful in the later stages," Mother Liu Ye said. "Don't worry, Mother, I know what I'm doing." "I won't try to dissuade you any further. At that time, the three statues will give you a talent rating. If the rating under the God of Restraint is too low, promise your mother that you'll choose a god with a higher rating." "Alright, Mother." The next day, in the Imperial Plaza, three golden statues stood in the center. Many recruiters from various factions were also present, all looking to select talented individuals and bring them into their own organizations. Although everyone had the potential to awaken their talents during the awakening ceremony, not everyone was worth cultivating after awakening. "Everyone present has reached adulthood. I believe you all understand what this awakening means. Therefore, I only want to reiterate that you can test your talent level under the three statues and choose to establish a link with the one that gives the highest rating. Of course, you can also choose a lower-rated one; it is your freedom," the Imperial official said. "Understood," the youths and maidens below replied. "Very well, the awakening ceremony will now begin." There were quite a few people awakening today, and Liu Mengqi was in line in the aisle outside the plaza. "Oh... look, look who it is. It's Liu Mengqi. So you're awakening here today. You know, I awakened as a mage a long time ago." A seductive voice suddenly came from behind. With the sound of crisp hoofbeats and tinkling bells, a magnificent fiery red carriage appeared at the other end of the road. Seeing this carriage, Liu Mengqi knew it was her old rival, Windsor, who must have come to see what talent she would awaken. It's worth mentioning Windsor's carriage. It was carved with intricate patterns, inlaid with gold and jade. The six horses pulling the carriage were, in fact, six women—six beautiful, naked maidens with fiery red hair. Their red hair was tied into a bun on top of their heads, with the strands trailing down their backs, swaying as they moved. The six maidens were all beauties, each with her own charm, but like real horses, they wore red gags in their mouths, bound behind their heads by red leather straps in a Y-shape. From their uplifted buttocks, long red horse tails extended. The red leather corsets that confined their slender waists were trimmed with beautiful lace along the upper edge, leaving nothing to cover below, revealing their tender, clean vulvas. Their hands were bound behind their backs by tight-fitting single gauntlets. Their twelve slender legs were clad in red thigh-high stockings, strapped to the lower edge of their corsets. On their feet were seven-inch-high hoof-shaped heels. Their exposed, rosy nipples were adorned with golden rings, from which hung golden bells that chimed melodiously with every step they took. Their fiery red attire and glittering ornaments made the six beauties appear both magnificent and seductive. They were arranged in pairs, forming three rows, with a red leather strap passing through the rings on either side of each gag, connecting them like horses. At the driver's position of the carriage sat a muscular groom, holding the red leather straps that controlled the six beautiful horses. Windsor was seated inside the carriage. "Of course!" Liu Mengqi walked to the second statue, the God of Law, finally stopping at a faint red. B+ talent. It was rare for two statues to have such high talent historically. Liu Mengqi didn't linger and walked to the third statue, the God of Binding. The God of Binding statue was a naked woman, dressed similarly to the woman in Windsor's carriage, a popular style on the continent. Liu Mengqi placed her hand on the statue. At this moment, the statue's radiance shot up into the sky, its color quickly changing from blue to red, and then, without any difficulty, it turned golden. "S-class talent!" the crowd below exclaimed in surprise. "It's a shame it's the God of Binding. Only a few factions have the ability to teach it, and these factions are all from the Binding God Hall." the crowd below discussed. "Oh, a girl with S-class talent. Would you be willing to join our Binding God Academy?" Liu Mengqi looked over. The person in charge of the Binding God Hall was a mentor from the Binding God Academy under the Binding God Hall, named An Ran. She was a restraint fighter herself. She wore a snow-white, hollowed-out lace shirt on her upper body, which was open. Underneath, she wore a small black silk camisole, her full [REDACTED] bulging high, with piercings. The shirt only reached her waist, revealing a smooth, pale section of her lower abdomen, with a silver belly button ring adorned with a jade five-pointed star pendant. Liu Mengqi looked further down. Below An Ran's graceful, slender waist, she wore no clothing, only a pair of nine-inch black high heels. A pair of long black stockings encased her slender legs, reaching the roots of her thighs, fastened to the black lace garter belt at her waist. Her full [REDACTED] was smooth and flawless. Where dense pubic hair should have been, there was a vibrant flame tattoo. Several flame jade pieces dangled below her crotch, likely attached to a piercing. Her hands were also clasped behind her back, tightly bound by a restraint gauntlet, making her [REDACTED] even firmer. "This outfit is so beautiful," Liu Mengqi thought. "I am willing. I've always wanted to join the Binding God Hall to learn," Liu Mengqi said. "Have you thought it through? The Binding God Hall doesn't offer the same promises as other factions. We treat everyone equally, and you'll still have to undergo extensive restraint training. Our purpose is service, though there will be Spirit Crystal compensation, which will be temporarily held by the Binding God Hall. You won't be allowed to formally join the Binding God Hall to learn techniques until your Binding Power reaches the third tier. I myself took three years before joining the Binding God Hall, and my talent was A+ back then," An Ran said. "I've thought it through. I want to awaken my Binding Power and join the Binding God Hall," Liu Mengqi stated firmly. "Good. If you've decided, let's begin the awakening," An Ran said. "Release your mind and sign a contract with the Binding God. The Binding God will allow you to feel the free-flowing Binding Power in the world," the awakening supervisor said. Liu Mengqi followed the instructions, dripped blood, and signed the contract with the Binding God. Soon, she felt the world change. There were dense, free-floating energies all around. So this was Binding Power. What Liu Mengqi didn't know was that many people needed training after awakening to sense Binding Power, and only those with S-class talent could sense it so [REDACTED]. After the awakening was complete, Liu Mengqi stepped off the stage. "Mengqi, I didn't expect your talent to be so amazing," Lan Bing exclaimed with a smile. "My name is An Ran, and I'm a mentor at the Binding God Academy. You can spend today saying goodbye to your family. I'll be here to receive you at this time tomorrow." "Alright, Mentor An Ran, thank you for your trouble." "You're welcome." An Ran swayed her [REDACTED] and turned to leave. Liu Mengqi was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses. This must be a farewell. The sound of hooves approached. It was Windsor. "Not bad, S-class talent! But don't get cocky. Who knows when you'll finish your training? You'll have a tough time during the training period," Windsor said. "Then let's work hard together!" Liu Mengqi said with a smile. "Did you take the wrong medicine today? Don't try to butter me up, we're enemies!" Windsor bared her teeth and claws. "Think whatever you want. I'm going home," Liu Mengqi said and left. "Ah! This is infuriating! We're going back too," Windsor said, then took out her whip and lashed it fiercely at the hindquarters of a mare in front of her. The mare let out a whinny, and a whip mark quickly appeared on its rear. If Liu Mengqi were there, she would have noticed that a lot of Binding Power was surging towards this whip mark. The whip mark quickly faded, and the mare's physical strength increased by a notch. Upon returning home, Liu Mengqi found her father waiting for her in the hall. Her mother was also beside him. "Dad!" Liu Mengqi blurted out. "We've heard everything." Liu Mengqi's father, Liu Qingtian, came to Liu Mengqi's side, stroking her head with his large hand. His eyes showed reluctance and pride. Then he smiled, "Mengqi, you'll be leaving tomorrow, and it's unlikely you'll be back for a while. You must cultivate well at the Binding God Academy, listen to your mentors, and complete all your training. You're not allowed to bring shame to your old man!" Liu Mengqi looked at the reluctance in Liu Qingtian's eyes, her heart warming slightly. She smiled, "Don't worry, Dad. I will train hard and officially join the Binding God Hall as soon as possible." "Haha, good. Then our Liu family will bring glory to our ancestors." "Spirit Python Restraint Gauntlet, crafted from the hide of a Golden Horned Spirit Python, possesses extraordinary toughness and can accelerate the absorption of binding force by 10%. Yellow-grade spirit tool, priced at 5,000 Binding Coins." "Demonic Shadow Steps, a movement technique binding art, Yellow-grade cultivation method, priced at 7,000 Binding Coins." "Fire Spirit Silkworm Silk Stockings, refined from silkworm silk infused with fire spirit, bestowing fire attribute to the legs and aiding in the absorption of binding force into the legs, enhancing leg strength. Profound-grade spirit tool, priced at 20,000 Binding Coins." "Cold Iron Collar, forged from thousand-year-old cold iron, indestructible, increasing binding force absorption by 20%, with a built-in skill, 'Concentration,' capable of resisting mental attacks below tier three. Profound-grade spirit tool, priced at 20,000 Binding Coins." ... A succession of treasures, each a masterpiece, flashed before Liu Mengqi's eyes. Every item was exquisite, but the prices were far beyond her current means. "Alright, when you have more Binding Coins, you can browse freely. For now, go directly to the basic binding gear section and choose your basic binding items." "Demonic Ox Tendon Hemp Rope, a hemp rope tempered from demonic ox tendons, possessing excellent toughness. Priced at 50 Binding Coins." "Spirit Deer Waist Cincher, a waist cincher tempered from spirit deer hide, with a shaping effect. Priced at 100 Binding Coins." "Cowhide Ballet High Heels, made from tough cowhide, stable and durable. Priced at 200 Binding Coins." ... The basic binding gear also came in many varieties. Liu Mengqi casually selected a pair of gauntlets, a waist cincher, ordinary stockings, ballet high heels, and an iron collar. She redeemed them with her Binding Token, spending 500 Binding Coins. Instructor An Ran led Liu Mengqi to the Redemption Pavilion. "Since ordinary binding gear has no spirit, you'll need to put them on yourself. The final arm restraints will be applied by someone else. Generally, unless you change equipment, the restraints won't be removed. Once you possess binding gear of Yellow-grade or higher, after bonding with it, it will automatically equip itself," An Ran explained. After receiving the binding gear, Liu Mengqi went to the changing room, removed her original clothes, stored them in her Binding Token space, and put on the waist cincher, stockings, ballet high heels, and collar, hanging her Binding Token on the collar. Someone helped her securely bind her arms behind her back with the gauntlets. Liu Mengqi looked down at her body. A black leather waist cincher tightly constricted her slender waist, pushing all the flesh from her midsection up towards her chest, making her breasts appear round and full. They were truly beautiful. Below, her [unspeakable] was completely exposed, pale and tender. Liu Mengqi felt her pussy wet. Habitually, she reached to touch herself, only to find her hands bound behind her, able to move only within a limited range. It seemed she would have to break this habit. On her feet, she wore a pair of ballet high heels. When Liu Mengqi first stood up, she couldn't quite figure out how to balance her weight, and without the support of her hands, she nearly fell. However, after a few steps, she gradually adjusted. After all, she had worn high heels frequently in her previous life. "Not bad, very beautiful," An Ran praised, looking at Liu Mengqi. "Instructor An Ran is also very beautiful," Liu Mengqi replied. "Haha, alright, from now on, it's all up to you. Remember to achieve a good ranking in the freshman competition." "I won't disappoint you." "That's good. Go back and diligently cultivate the Binding God Art. It holds infinite mysteries," An Ran said before leaving. Liu Mengqi returned to her residence and used her binding force to retrieve the Binding God Art. "Time to cultivate." Following the cultivation method of the Binding God Art, Liu Mengqi absorbed a significant amount of binding force over several days. She then converted this binding force into combat power according to the method and infused it into her body. Liu Mengqi felt her body filled with strength. She tentatively kicked at the empty space in front of her, and pure power surged from her leg. With a whoosh, Liu Mengqi's foot created a fierce sonic boom as it cut through the air. Liu Mengqi then tried a simple jump. This single jump propelled her five to six zhang into the air. Mid-air, Liu Mengqi looked down, her heart filled with dread. She feared that landing from such a height would leave her half-dead. She felt herself drawing upon all her binding force, and her body was actually being supported by it. Liu Mengqi realized she could use this binding force to maneuver in the air, performing all sorts of incredible movements. Gradually, Liu Mengqi became more adept at controlling the power within her. Both the speed and strength of her movements began to feel effortless. "This is cultivation, this feeling is truly wonderful," Liu Mengqi murmured.
