Buzz!
In the backyard of the Divine Eagle Tribe’s Demon-Killing Pavilion, the jade token in front of Xuanyuan Lingyan’s waist lit up. She had been cultivating, but her eyes suddenly opened wide. She scanned the jade token before her spring-like eyes twinkled. A mocking smile appeared on her face. “Jiang Yi, I wanted to be nice to you, but you rejected my efforts. You should be more aware of the situation once you get to the Netherworld Realm.”
The voice message was coming from the Poison Spirit. Its contents were simple: he had the thing.
The Poison Spirit had been Xuanyuan Lingyan’s secret guard all this time. It was him who went to spy on Jiang Yi, and it was him who arranged everything after that. Now, he had the thing. It was obvious what he meant: the Primitive Spiritual Treasure was in his hands. That meant Jiang Yi was dead.
“Hoho!”
Xuanyuan Lingyan jumped to her feet excitedly. Her expression revealed the joy she felt inside. She paced inside her room for a while before she said confidently, “Little Eagle King, once I get the Primitive Spiritual Treasure, my skills will skyrocket. You treated me as trash yesterday, but I will make sure you pine for me tomorrow. Heh, heh!”
Time ticked by. Xuanyuan Lingyan continued to pace inside her room. She could not calm herself down long enough to continue cultivating. A few hours passed, and a breeze suddenly came through the gate. Xuanyuan Lingyan’s eyes lit up. In a low voice, she shouted, “You’re back?”
Swish!
The breeze slowly dissipated, and the Poison Spirit congealed inside her room. However, his expression was bitter. He cupped his hands at Xuanyuan Lingyan and said, “I’m sorry, Young Mistress Xuanyuan!”
“En?”
Xuanyuan Lingyan’s eyes filled with confusion. She asked, “Didn’t you send me a voice transmission saying you had the thing?”
Swish!
The Poison Spirit’s body flashed, and he easily flew next to Xuanyuan Lingyan. With a single hand, he hit her back and caused a burst of energy to enter her body. Xuanyuan Lingyan’s divine core sealed immediately. The Poison Spirit reached out and grabbed Xuanyuan Lingyan’s interspatial ring and jade token for communication effortlessly with one hand.
Creak…
The gate outside pushed open slowly. A martial artist dressed in full-body armor walked in. Once he entered, he closed the door of the room. Then, the battle armor flashed and slowly disappeared, revealing a youthful face. The man broke into a grin and said, “Pavilion Lord Xuanyuan, it’s been a long time.”
“Jiang Yi!”
Xuanyuan Lingyan looked like she had just seen a ghost. She immediately turned her head sharply to face the Poison Spirit behind her. Through gritted teeth, she said, “Poison Spirit, you betrayed me? If not for me, you would have been torn into pieces by now by other people. You ruthless ingrate, you deserve to die!”
“Young Mistress Xuanyuan, I’m sorry.”
The Poison Spirit cupped his hands and continued, “I’ve done a lot for you over the past few years. I think we’re considered even. Don’t worry, Young Lord promised me that he would not kill you.”
Swish!
The Poison Spirit floated out soon after he finished speaking. Jiang Yi closed the doors and set up restrictions before turning to Xuanyuan Lingyan, still grinning. “Pavilion Lord Xuanyuan, I promised Poison Spirit that I would not kill you. Still, you plotted against me and sought to kill me. If I don’t settle the score with you, I would be letting myself down. Let’s do something embarrassing, shall we?”
Swish! Swish!
Xuanyuan Lingyan’s face drained of all color immediately. She stared at Jiang Yi, who was surveying her body like a wolf surveying its prey. She immediately stiffened and placed both of her arms across her chest. Her voice trembling, she said, “Jiang Yi, what do you want to do? I’m warning you: I am a young mistress of the Xuanyuan Clan. My grandfather is the Assistant Pavilion Lord of the Demon-Killing Pavilion. Xuanyuan Clan is one of the ten great family clans of Earth Emanations Domain. If you dare to r*pe me, you will die without a doubt. The realm where you came from will also be destroyed!”
“Really? I’m very afraid!”
Jiang Yi’s tone sounded fearful, but he kept walking towards Xuanyuan Lingyan. With each step that he took towards Xuanyuan Lingyan, she took a step backward. She looked both terrified and helpless.
Her heavenly powers had been sealed. Her jade token for communications and her interspatial ring had both been taken away by the Poison Spirit. Although she knew some spiritual attacks, they were not strong. Facing Jiang Yi like that made her feel like a lamb facing a hungry wolf. She was frightened to the core. She wanted to scream, but she realized that nobody would hear her since the restrictions were up.
Bang!
Her back hit the wall behind her, just as Jiang Yi put his arms up on either side of her face, trapping her against the wall. A strong, masculine, Yang aura floated towards her as she began to tear up. She tried to put on a strong front and bit back her tears. As a disciple of the Xuanyuan Clan, she was too proud to allow a country bumpkin from the Lower Domain to see her weakness.
“Xuanyuan Lingyan, the second young mistress of this generation of the Xuanyuan Clan, blue-blooded nobility!”
Jiang Yi lowered his chin and looked at Xuanyuan Lingyan mockingly. She was too frightened to make a single move. His tone mocking, he said, “I heard that many young masters fancy you, but you have a crush on the son of the Green Eagle King. Yet, the Little Eagle King cannot be bothered with you? Tell me… if I destroy your chastity, would you lose any hope of winning the Little Eagle King over?”
“No… no…”
Xuanyuan Lingyan roared, twisting and struggling and trying to find an escape route. Jiang Yi wrapped a single arm around her waist in a steel-like grip. Xuanyuan Lingyan immediately found that she was unable to move. Her eyes filled with hatred as she screamed, “Jiang Yi, I swear, if you don’t kill me this time, I will destroy your entire clan. You come from Stellarsky Domain, right? I promise that I will destroy Stellarsky Domain!”
Xuanyuan Lingyan’s high-pitched voice was making Jiang Yi’s ears hurt. Her hateful gaze and evil words caused Jiang Yi’s calm expression to turn outraged.
He promised the Poison Spirit that he would not kill Xuanyuan Lingyan, but from the looks of it, Stellarsky Domain would be in danger if this woman did not die.
His gaze turned cold as his eyes darted around. With his other hand, he grabbed onto the robe in front of Xuanyuan Lingyan’s chest and tore it. He used the other hand that he had around her waist to pull on the robe as well. Xuanyuan Lingyan’s beautiful, green dress immediately split open. Her shapely and smooth body was exposed to the crisp air. All that she had on was her pink undergarment.
“No, I don’t want that!”
Xuanyuan Lingyan began to scream in horror, twisting and turning. She reached out and scratched Jiang Yi’s body, causing his robes to tear as well. Jiang Yi used one hand to rip off the undergarment that Xuanyuan Lingyan had on. Finally, he let her go.
Swish!
Xuanyuan Lingyan had been struggling. The moment Jiang Yi released her, she sprinted towards the door. However, she forgot one thing. There were restrictions set up. Without her heavenly powers, she had no way of opening them. What’s more… she was completely nude.
“Ah?”
When she arrived at the gate, she suddenly got yanked back to reality. Immediately, she covered all the important parts of her body and then turned around to face Jiang Yi. She saw him staring at her body non-stop. He must have seen everything when she ran away earlier.
“Don’t come any closer, you beast! If you come near me, I will kill myself for you to see!”
Xuanyuan Lingyan was roaring at Jiang Yi again. Indeed, Jiang Yi remained where he was. However, he mockingly pulled a chair towards him and sat down. Then, he retrieved a paper and a brush. Each time he stared at Xuanyuan Lingyan for a couple of seconds, he looked down and moved his brush. His brush moved like dragons and snakes. A few moments later, the Heaven Painting was completed. He picked it up and raised it, saying, “Pavilion Lord, do you think this painting captures your romantic charm?”
“Ah?”
Xuanyuan Lingyan scanned it, her entire body trembling uncontrollably. She leaned back against the gate and fell down to her bottom. As she hugged both of her knees, her tears flowed down her cheeks.
Jiang Yi’s Heaven Painting was too beautiful. It looked just like her. The most important thing was that the plum-blossom-shaped birthmark she had in between her breasts looked very realistic. Jiang Yi even managed to capture the fear in her eyes, making his painting look extremely life-like. If this painting were to spread, she would not have the cheek to face the outside world ever again.
Jiang Yi got to his feet and strolled towards Xuanyuan Lingyan. He stopped right in front of her and looked down. In a cold tone, he said, “Xuanyuan Lingyan, don’t worry. I will not r*pe you; neither do I care for women like you. I will make ten of these paintings and leave them with various merchant associations. If you dare to go against me in the future or if you attempt to harm either Poison Spirit or Stellarsky Domain, I promise that this painting will spread throughout Earth Emanations Domain in a heartbeat once I find out or upon my death!
“I, Jiang Yi, don’t want to make any enemies. However, whoever treats me as their enemy will face dire consequences. Do you understand?”
