Chapter 61: Intercepted!
In her past life, pressured by the Demon Realm cultivators’ pursuit, Yan Zhen had been forced to reach the Mystic Master realm and refine the Great Crimson Skyfire, because wielding three Extreme Flames allowed him to use a secret technique from the Emperor Flame Technique, an Emperor-level Mystic Skill powerful enough to repel them.
However, refining a third Extreme Flame was inherently risky, requiring extensive preparation. He had been reckless, and, as expected, had gone berserk.
It had been both a trial and an opportunity. If he survived, his strength would increase significantly. Therefore, Chen Xi hadn’t intervened.
At that time, he had still been… pure. Even in his berserker state, he hadn’t had any… lewd thoughts, only a heightened battle instinct.
A desire to fight, to kill, like a wild beast…
The Demon Realm cultivators had split into two groups: Ying Ling and the spy, and Jiu Youyue and Mang Huang. The latter group, having found the second passage through the lava lake, had caught up with them.
Chen Xi had then released him from the Fire Refining Starry Sky, letting him fight freely.
Facing a Mystic Sovereign and a Mystic Lord, he should have had no chance of winning, but Jiu Youyue, having been rescued by him twice, hadn’t wanted to fight him, instead focusing on helping him escape. And Mang Huang, the Mystic Lord, hadn’t considered him, a newly ascended Mystic Master, a threat.
He, using his remaining rationality, had channeled his volatile energy into the Emperor-level Mystic Skill, unleashing a devastating attack that had instantly killed Mang Huang, then lost consciousness.
Jiu Youyue had rescued him, taking him to a secluded location. Finding his Mystic Power in disarray, on the verge of going berserk, she had decided to sacrifice herself, using dual cultivation to stabilize his energy, remembering his kindness and how he had rescued her again in the palace.
However, her method had only temporarily stabilized his Mystic Power, not the three Extreme Flames within him. It was a temporary fix, not a cure. After their dual cultivation session, he had seemed normal, but it hadn’t lasted.
After she left, he had been summoned back to the Fire Refining Starry Sky by Chen Xi.
The Serpent Queen, having successfully evolved her bloodline, reaching the Mystic Sovereign realm, had caused a commotion that attracted their attention.
Seeing her naked form, he, no longer innocent, had been unable to control his desire, his gaze fixated on her.
The Serpent Queen, although grateful for his assistance, had been disgusted by his lecherous gaze.
“If you look at me like that again, I’ll gouge your eyes out.”
Her haughty tone, however, had only angered him.
“You bitch! If it weren’t for me, you would be dead! You have no right to talk to me like that!”
She, proud and newly empowered, couldn’t tolerate his disrespect. She had attacked him, intending to teach him a lesson.
Although she hadn’t used her full strength, the power of a Mystic Sovereign was far beyond that of a Mystic Master.
Facing danger, his Extreme Flames went berserk again, pushing him into an uncontrolled state.
Chen Xi hadn’t intervened.
She had assumed, seeing no killing intent in the Serpent Queen’s attack, that it would be good practice for him, a way for him to vent his battle lust.
She hadn’t expected him to draw upon the Fire Refining Starry Sky’s power, using his three Extreme Flames, to instantly suppress the Serpent Queen.
And not only had he suppressed her, but fueled by rage and lust, he had then pounced on her, tearing her clothes, then, spreading her legs, taken her.
Chen Xi, dumbfounded, had wanted to stop him, but seeing his bestial, savage demeanor, she had been scared, fleeing the scene.
After all, it was the Serpent Queen’s fault. She had not only been ungrateful, but also arrogant, on someone else’s territory.
Arrogance had a price.
And so, she had been ravaged by him for an entire day and night, her body covered in marks and bruises, her eyes glazed over, her tongue lolling, her legs twitching, unable to close.
He had then lost consciousness again.
Upon waking up, he had been filled with regret, wanting to apologize, but she had already recovered and left the Fire Refining Starry Sky, returning to the Water City.
He, having planned to leave the desert after obtaining the Great Crimson Skyfire, had been forced to follow her…
After everything, they had met, and she had told him they were even, their debt settled.
She hadn’t been without feelings for him, but as the Water City’s ruler, she had to prioritize her people.
He had simply said, “I’ll come back and propose,” then left.
Later, she discovered she was pregnant. And the child hadn’t inherited much of the Serpent God Bloodline. The three Serpent God Priests, following tradition, had urged her to terminate the pregnancy, but she had refused.
That child was Yan Yan.
Because of her three-colored companion flame, she had been named “Yan,” recorded as “Cai Yan” in the royal genealogy, but her mother had called her “Yan Yan,” taking his surname.
Later, her two older sisters returned to the Water City, launching a coup, attempting to seize the throne.
Her premarital pregnancy and her refusal to abort the child, whose Serpent God Bloodline was weak, had lost her the support of the three priests. And with the old Serpent Generals either dead or crippled from the siege, and half of the new Serpent Generals not fully loyal, she had found herself in a precarious situation.
At that critical juncture, he had arrived, as promised, proposing marriage, protecting her and their daughter, then patiently enduring the three priests’ trials.
Her heart had finally been moved. She had accepted him as her husband, taking Yan Yan with her to the Jiā Lán Sacred Ground.
They had experienced much together afterwards, finally becoming a true couple.
…
After being reborn, she had been anticipating his berserker state.
It had been both their misfortune and the catalyst for their union.
Therefore, no matter how much Yun Xiu and Jiu Youyue taunted her, she hadn’t intended to… consummate their relationship with him yet.
She wanted to use her virginity to help him calm his rampaging Extreme Flames, just like in their past life.
She hadn’t expected to be… intercepted.
And by Master Chen Xi, of all people!
“…”
The stone walls had lowered, the cold pool’s water evaporated, the depression transforming back into a large bed.
Chen Xi’s Spiritual Power materialized, curtains draping the bed, concealing the scene within, pillows and blankets appearing, making him comfortable as he slept.
The Serpent Queen looked at her sleeping husband, then at Chen Xi, who was already dressed, and couldn’t help but ask, “Master Chen Xi, what… what happened?”
