On the wooden bed.
Seeing Golden Spirit Cloud’s desire-filled gaze, Jiang Xuan quickly intervened.
“Wait, Lingyun… This isn’t what we agreed on! Didn’t we say that as long as I… begged you, it would be fine? I already begged… can you let me go…?”
“I’m already a… husband now… can you please have some self-respect…”
As soon as Jiang Xuan spoke these words, Golden Spirit Cloud’s expression darkened.
“And so what? You were the one who asked for this! Want to back out now?”
Jiang Xuan: “……..”
At that moment, Lan Xin, sitting in the corner, suddenly chimed in.
“Um… Lingyun sister, please calm down. Given your current injured state, my master’s wife might actually be too strong for you to handle…
If she finds out, you might end up stuffed in a sack and tortured in various creative ways…
To be honest, she’s incredibly ruthless; I personally had my horn severed by her.”
Lan Xin was speaking up partly because of her own ulterior motives.
If her master was put through any… “extreme measures” in front of her, she would definitely struggle to accept it.
Last time, just hearing the sounds made her anxious and shaken; if she witnessed it firsthand, her mental state might just implode.
That was her beloved master! She could mess with him, but seeing someone else do it right in front of her? Now that’s outrageous!
On the other hand, after hearing Lan Xin’s words, Golden Spirit Cloud seemed a bit startled.
“Little Qilin, are you sure you’re not just trying to trick me?”
“Lingyun sister, I assure you, I’m telling the truth! That nasty woman is really strong! Unless an ancestor from my Qilin clan shows up, there’s no way to subdue her.
How about… you focus on healing first, just in case that nasty woman suddenly shows up here.
I believe if you recover well, your power should far surpass hers.”
“Little Qilin, that makes a good point, but I have to refuse.
When the meat is right in front of you, how can you not eat it? I don’t care how strong she is.
Even if she’s a Martial God, she can’t stop me! I mean it!”
Lan Xin: “??????”
Meanwhile, Jiang Xuan was struggling and trying to negotiate.
“Lingyun, I’m begging you, don’t touch me… If that person finds out… my fate will be terrible…”
At that moment, Golden Spirit Cloud reached out and pinched Jiang Xuan’s face.
“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you later, but first… you need to become completely mine…”
Before long, Jiang Xuan realized that despite being in the Sky Martial realm, he was utterly defenseless against her Martial Emperor level power.
Even in her injured state, when her strength might not even be one-tenth of her normal capacity, he was still far outclassed.
The more he resisted, the more delighted Golden Spirit Cloud became.
“Xuan, your struggling looks more and more like what it used to be a thousand years ago.
You’re only fueling my desire to conquer you! Go ahead, scream until your throat hurts and see if anyone comes to save you; even that little Qilin will just watch helplessly.”
In reality, one of Jiang Xuan’s main motivations for resisting was Lan Xin’s presence.
He already knew that Lan Xin had been bought off by Nangong Liu Yun through tricks.
If this got back to Nangong Liu Yun, there was no way he’d get to leave unscathed in under thirty days—she would make him pay dearly.
Just thinking about his fate sent shivers down Jiang Xuan’s spine.
But Golden Spirit Cloud showed him no mercy, not even giving him a chance to speak.
In the corner, Lan Xin observed the torn fabric scattered on the floor and the increasingly apparent commotion on the wooden bed.
Her eyes gradually became glassy; her worst nightmare was happening right under her nose, yet she felt powerless to intervene.
Once she truly realized the situation, her mental fortitude and self-esteem took a hard hit.
Just as she was zoning out, one of Jiang Xuan’s words shattered her resolve completely.
At that moment, after failing to resist, Jiang Xuan finally found an opportunity to plead.
“Ling… Lingyun… please let Little Xin go… whatever trouble she caused you… I’ll take the blame…”
“Oh, such a deep master-servant bond! Of course, I can spare her, but… you have to satisfy me even more first.
Who knew the exalted immortal would beg like this?
I’ve been waiting for a scene like this for ten thousand years!
But you begging for that little Qilin? I’m a bit jealous; hey, why don’t you show her this pitiful state of yours?
She should be grateful to you, considering I was originally planning to sever her limbs.
Since you’re working hard to please me, I’ll let her off for now.”
Jiang Xuan: “………”
As Golden Spirit Cloud finished speaking, she slowly got up, scooping Jiang Xuan into her arms, then turned her attention to Lan Xin.
“Little Qilin, take a good look at your master’s pathetic state. He’s become this way for you.”
Suddenly, Lan Xin lifted her head, her eyes regaining some light.
After her mental barrier shattered, her aura surged exponentially.
The broken horn on her head reformed in an instant.
Then, she broke free from her restraints and cast a bewitching look at Golden Spirit Cloud.
“Little Lingyun, is it possible that I’ve seen my master like this long before?
Sigh, when my master was begging for mercy, you were still sealed at the bottom of the lake.
All these tricks of yours are just leftovers I’ve played with…
But my master? I can bully him, but you can’t…
Besides, my master saved you with all good intentions, but you repay kindness with malice. I’m not as forgiving; I wouldn’t save a vicious dragon.”
At that moment, Golden Spirit Cloud’s pupils shrank slightly, staring at Lan Xin in disbelief.
“You… your aura is…”
“Thanks to you, after my heart shattered, I unlocked the bloodline of the Qilin royal family…”
As Lan Xin spoke, she stretched out her hand, and in the next moment, a massive claw emerged from thin air, instantly restraining Golden Spirit Cloud.
