73 I’m Screwed This Time
After a while, Huangfu Wenqing calmed down and asked in a coquettish tone, “Yan Zhen, if I win, will you honor our agreement and marry into Cloud Heaven Palace?”
Yan Zhen nodded. “Yes, but you won’t win.”
“Hmph, we’ll see. I haven’t shown you my true strength yet.”
“Uh-huh~”
It’s useless no matter how strong you are. If I have to, I’ll use my trump cards. Anyone below Mystic Ancestor is toast.
He was confident he could defeat her, even if she teamed up with Yun Xiu.
After all, he had cheats.
“Don’t be so complacent. If I win, you’ll have to abandon those other women, stay in Cloud Heaven Palace, and be only with me (and Master). And you’re not allowed to go back on your word.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Yan Zhen’s perfunctory response annoyed Huangfu Wenqing. She was reborn, having reached the peak of Mystic Ancestor in her past life. She was confident she could reach Mystic General before their duel, and with the Evergreen Sacred Ground’s secret techniques and sword skills, she could even defeat ordinary Mystic Kings.
Unless Yan Zhen used that devastating Extreme Flame technique that nearly leveled Cloud Heaven Palace. But with their current relationship, he wouldn’t use such a lethal move against her.
“How are your injuries?”
“Completely healed.”
After all, he had consumed so much… medicinal fluid that he wouldn’t need to eat for days.
“That’s good. Tomorrow is the first of the month, the day the Rising Star List is updated. You’ll be replacing Fu Cheng, since you defeated him.”
“What rank was he?”
“Ninety-ninth.”
“Ugh!”
There were one hundred and eight spots on the Rising Star List. Ninety-ninth was practically at the bottom!
Huangfu Wenqing said worriedly, “A Mystic Master on the Rising Star List is quite rare. It will attract a lot of attention, and also… trouble.”
Yan Zhen naturally understood. In the script, after he made it onto the Rising Star List, many Mystic Generals challenged him, unconvinced that a mere Mystic Master could be ranked among them. There were also society leaders who tried to recruit him, then retaliated when he refused. And there were also many opportunistic people trying to get close to him…
“Things are about to get busy.”
Not just cultivation, but also dealing with these people.
“However, there are also benefits to being on the list. Besides receiving a Tier 4 academy card, there are also monthly resource rewards, and access to the two secret realms.”
The Inner Academy had two secret realms, one Yin and one Yang, relocated and modified by Mystic Venerables of the Jiā Lán Sacred Ground. The Yin Secret Realm was for soul cultivation, and the Yang Secret Realm was for body tempering.
The Yang Secret Realm was primarily a volcanic region, rich in medicinal herbs and ores. Yan Zhen needed to go there to gather materials for forging his Gold and Silver Fire Sword and also to further strengthen his physique.
The body tempering technique he learned, the Primordial Dharma Body Chart, was essentially a bloodline technique. By gathering the blood of the ten great God Clans, one could revert their bloodline to its ancestral form, manifesting the “Primordial Dharma Body” of the Human Ancestor.
However, his attribute was fire, unlike the Human Ancestor’s attributeless body, so he would eventually manifest the “Supreme Yang Body.”
Speaking of Yang Bodies, Yan Zhen thought of Yi Xian’er with her natural Yin Body. He wondered how she was doing, whether she had safely arrived at the Waning Moon Kingdom and entered the Yin Spirit Valley for cultivation.
When they met again, they would be enemies. He had to resolve her inner conflict before they could reconcile.
And even after reconciling, they couldn’t be as intimate as before. Yin and Yang clashed. Physical contact between them would cause a strong repulsion.
Sigh…
“Yan Zhen?”
“Oh, I was saying, you should also try to get on the Rising Star List, Wenqing. That way, you’ll get a Tier 4 academy card and can cultivate with me on the fourth level of the pagoda.”
“Actually, I’ve already defeated a student ranked one hundred and first. After the list is updated tomorrow, I’ll also be on the Rising Star List.”
“Eh? When did that happen?”
“That guy who was harassing me earlier, I challenged him and defeated him in three moves, even winning five hundred points.”
Ah, this… Yan Zhen was speechless.
His fiancée’s storyline had been completely off track from the beginning and was getting increasingly ridiculous.
Why did Yun Xiu even send her to the Sacred Ground Academy?
—Tsk, when I go to Cloud Heaven Palace, I’ll make her understand her mistake… with her body!
Thinking of Yun Xiu beneath him, moaning softly and begging for mercy, Yan Zhen felt a surge of desire.
For some reason, he always felt an uncontrollable urge whenever he thought of Yun Xiu.
Huangfu Wenqing, still in his arms, sensed his arousal, her heart filled with both shyness and happiness. She whispered, “Yan Zhen, are you… thinking about something… lewd?”
Yan Zhen, snapping back to reality, felt embarrassed and quickly denied it. “N-no, it’s just… my normal size.”
Huangfu Wenqing bit her lip.
Clearly, he was reacting to her.
She was dressed rather provocatively and had been clinging to him, rubbing against him…
Thinking of this, Huangfu Wenqing blushed even more and, after a moment’s hesitation, said, “Since I caused it, then let me… take care of it for you.”
Yan Zhen was startled. Take care of it? Zi Ji is still in the room, probably under the table!
“Really, there’s no need. It will subside on its own.”
“I’m your fiancée. It’s my duty to… take care of you~”
“B-but—”
Huangfu Wenqing used her trump card: “Instructor Yu Xuan can do it, but I can’t?”
—Oh my god!
Yan Zhen was mortified, his resistance crumbling as Huangfu Wenqing pushed him onto the chair.
“Wenqing, let’s not…”
Huangfu Wenqing ignored him. Zi Xunyi’s presence gave her a strong sense of crisis, even greater than that of Instructor Yu Xuan and the other four girls combined.
Zi Xunyi was one of the biggest winners in her previous life, and now she was also “reborn,” giving her a huge advantage.
To capture her fiancé’s heart, she had to capture his body first.
Huangfu Wenqing knelt before him, quickly undid his belt, and stared at the dragon mark that gradually appeared, her heart racing.
—I remember Master doing this…
She bit her lip, leaned down, and kissed the dragon mark, then traced its outline with her tongue, from bottom to top, until she reached the tip, gently taking it into her mouth.
Although her technique was clumsy, she was meticulous and earnest, a promising student!
Yan Zhen clenched his fists, trying to suppress any sounds, then he sensed an invisible spiritual presence emanating from under the table, his body tensing.
—She was hiding under the table after all! I’m screwed!
