Chapter 62: Will He Go Berserk Again?
A faint blush lingered on Chen Xi’s face, enhancing her beauty, making her appear even more alluring than the Serpent Queen.
Facing her daughter-in-law’s question, she replied calmly, “The Great Crimson Skyfire is the third Extreme Flame Zhen’er has refined. Three Extreme Flames is a critical threshold. When gathered within the body, they clash, triggering a berserker state. That’s why Zhen’er lost control and… attacked me.”
Everyone knows he went berserk, the Serpent Queen thought. The question is, why didn’t you resist?
“With your power, you could have easily subdued him, right?”
Chen Xi shook her head.
“This berserker state is both a trial and an opportunity for him. If he overcomes it, his strength will increase significantly.”
The Serpent Queen was silent. After being… ravaged by him for an entire day and night in their past life, Chen Xi had also explained this to her.
The tempering of the Gold and Silver Fire, the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire, and the Great Crimson Skyfire, enhancing his Mystic Power, his soul, and his physique… It was this berserker state that had eliminated the hidden dangers from his rapid advancement. Therefore, Chen Xi wouldn’t interfere.
She just hadn’t expected him to develop… lewd desires during his berserker state. He had always been so… pure.
Now, however, having been… awakened by Yun Xiu and Jiu Youyue, his berserker state manifested as a desire to conquer and dominate. That’s why he had attacked her, the closest person to him.
And she had simply… accepted it, allowing him to vent his frustrations.
It was understandable.
However, she still couldn’t accept it.
Wouldn’t sparring with him be a better way to help him?
As the World Spirit of the Fire Refining Starry Sky, Chen Xi shouldn’t be affected by his borrowed power, right?
Could it be that she had softened, seeing him in pain?
She knew their bond was deep, but this was… excessive.
“You… didn’t mind, Master Chen Xi? Being… intimate with your disciple…?”
Chen Xi, sensing the resentment in her voice, said indifferently, “I’ve been trapped within the Fire Refining Starry Sky for so long. I’ve long abandoned any hope of leaving this place. What do I care about worldly ethics? My only goal is to nurture Zhen’er’s growth. I’m willing to pay any price for that, including this… half-human, half-spirit body.”
— That’s not what you said in my past life!
She wanted to retort, but it would be pointless. The past was the past, the present was the present.
Just like how he and Yun Xiu hadn’t been intimate in her previous life, but now, Yun Xiu was several steps ahead of her. If she didn’t act quickly, Yun Xiu might even have his child before her!
“But Master Chen Xi, he’ll be filled with guilt when he wakes up!”
“His mind was clouded. He won’t remember. As long as we both say he was just having a nightmare, it will be fine.”
— Is that really okay?
She felt uneasy.
He wasn’t stupid. If he discovered the truth, it would be disastrous!
In her previous life, after… that incident, he had promised to marry her. Now, it had been Chen Xi… would he have to marry Chen Xi?
The thought startled her. She imagined Chen Xi, herself, and Zi Xunyi, naked, kneeling before him, their breasts exposed, their tongues out, begging him…
She quickly shook her head, dispelling the lewd images.
— This isn’t the time for such thoughts. There are more important matters.
“…So… is he alright now?”
She felt her question wasn’t clear enough, so she rephrased it.
“I mean, will he… lose control again like that?”
“Yes,” Chen Xi said firmly. “My constitution isn’t Yin and cold. I can only… receive his… energy, not suppress the three Extreme Flames’ volatility.”
And her Yin essence was too potent for him to absorb. If she offered it to him directly, it would overwhelm him, possibly even destroying him.
Calming the flames meant reducing their volatility to a manageable level, not completely suppressing them. That would negate their beneficial effects—it wasn’t about being stronger, but about matching his… stamina.
Like Jiu Youyue, her Yin constitution had only provided a temporary solution, not a cure. That was because she hadn’t… persisted. She had thought she had succeeded after stabilizing his Mystic Power, but she had been wrong—it took a whole day and night!
Therefore, Chen Xi hadn’t intentionally intercepted her. She still intended for the Serpent Queen to help him. In their previous life, her non-interference had also been due to this consideration.
Hearing this, the Serpent Queen’s hope was rekindled.
“So… he still needs someone with a Yin constitution?”
Chen Xi nodded.
“Yes, among us, only you and Jiu Youyue have Yin constitutions. Since you’re his future wife, I prefer you to be the one to help him. It would also fulfill Yan Yan’s wish. However, if you’re… uncomfortable with it, I won’t force you. Jiu Youyue is also close to him. I’m sure she won’t refuse.”
“I’m not unwilling!” She quickly declared. “According to Yan Yan, I… I seem to have gotten pregnant with her around this time… so… for Yan Yan’s sake, and for his sake… I’m… more than willing.”
Her words sounded strange, as if she was eager to sleep with him and get pregnant.
Although that was indeed her intention, shouldn’t she be more… discreet in front of her respected elder?
“I’m glad you’re willing.” Chen Xi smiled faintly. “However, I must warn you, Zhen’er can be quite… intense… in his berserker state. You might not be able to handle him alone. Perhaps… you could ask Jiu Youyue to… share the burden.”
She blushed, remembering her past life, her body filled with his essence, every… opening… overflowing, while Chen Xi watched, witnessing her most vulnerable moments.
But she had just seen Chen Xi’s own… vulnerable moments. They were even.
“I’ll… consider it.”
“He’ll be fine for now. Don’t worry.” Chen Xi said, “You can go now. Help Jiu Youyue and Yun Xiu deal with those Demon Realm cultivators.”
Her words made her blurt out, “I understand, Master.”
Then she immediately regretted it.
Calling her “Master” before they were even married… it was too…
Chen Xi smiled faintly.
“Go.”
Flustered, she left the Fire Refining Starry Sky, her embarrassment transforming into anger as she turned her attention to Ying Ling and Mang Huang.
…
Watching her disappear from the altar, Chen Xi exhaled softly.
— That was… unexpected.
She hadn’t expected the Serpent Queen to wake up so early. Perhaps having experienced the evolution once before had made it easier.
Her disciple’s… intensity had also surprised her. She had thought she could handle him, but he had nearly… broken her~
— Perhaps… there are consequences for indulging in such pleasures…
She caressed his face, sighing silently.
