Desire Restaurant [Complete] - 7

Chapter 114 Lin Jiayi, You Are My Slave!

At this moment, Lin Jiayi's pain had reached an unbearable level. The feeling of her body being torn apart made her begin to doubt: why did women bring her such pleasure while men caused her so much pain during sex? In this state, she began to believe that liking women was the right thing to do, and her disgust for men reached an extreme.

Lin Jiayi felt incredibly ashamed and indignant about Yan Xuan's broken vow. Unfortunately, amidst the strange sensations of intense thrusting, she felt like a lone boat in a raging storm, completely powerless, unable to struggle.

Even more terrifying was that with Yan Xuan's fierce onslaught, Lin Jiayi's body became increasingly limp and powerless, especially as the pain gradually disappeared, replaced by a strange pleasure that she couldn't extricate herself from.

After a fierce assault, when Lin Jiayi let out her first uncontrollable groan, Yan Xuan suddenly stopped his attack. He grabbed Lin Jiayi's drooping breasts with both hands, leaned against her back, and breathlessly whispered, "The darkest hour is always before dawn. After the pain comes the world of bliss. Miss Lin Jiayi, prepare to enjoy a woman's pleasure..."

Before he finished speaking, his lower body thrust forcefully, and he once again deeply entered Lin Jiayi's body.

Yan Xuan's enormous glans was already pressed against her dripping wet opening. Lin Jiayi spread her legs wide, took a deep breath, and prepared to receive Yan Xuan's large penis entering her lower body. But Yan Xuan was in no hurry. He simply held his huge penis and rubbed, bumped, and touched the glans between Lin Jiayi's labia until Lin Jiayi was teased to the point of being breathless, her whole body trembling, her beautiful face filled with an expression of unbearable suffering, and she was emitting a long series of sobbing moans. Only then did Yan Xuan aim his thick, long penis at Lin Jiayi's beautiful vulva, which was already wet with pubic hair, and thrust it in hard!

"Ah—!" Lin Jiayi let out a groan that was hard to tell if it was from pain or pleasure. Her eyes were glazed as she looked up at Yan Xuan's ugly face. She knew in her heart that the moment Yan Xuan's enormous penis entered her secret place, he was no longer just the second man in her life, but someone who would inevitably change her destiny and shake her soul. Because Yan Xuan's penis was so large, his previous violent thrust had only managed to insert the enormous glans into Lin Jiayi's vagina; the rest was still exposed. Yan Xuan looked down at Lin Jiayi's tight secret place, knowing she had never tasted such a large penis before, so he gently used his large glans to slowly push and thrust, inch by inch, penetrating deeper into Lin Jiayi's vagina. But even so, when only a third of Yan Xuan's thick, long penis had penetrated, Lin Jiayi could only open her sexy mouth wide and let out a soft "ooh." A strange sound rang out, "Ooh...whoosh, whoosh..." Ignoring whether Lin Jiayi could bear it, Yan Xuan thrust his hips down forcefully. Lin Jiayi cried out in alarm, "Oh! So big...ah!...Oh, Yan Xuan...your thing is so big!...Oh, oh...ah...ah...how can it be so thick!"

The moment Yan Xuan's large penis was fully inserted into Lin Jiayi's body, she could no longer endure the torment of lust. She closed her eyes, moaning, "Oh, Yan Xuan, don't be so rough with me...please...be gentle with me."

Yan Xuan commanded her, "Open your legs a little wider!" Lin Jiayi obediently spread her long, fair legs further, willingly succumbing to the boundless sea of desire. Yan Xuan began to thrust into Lin Jiayi's lower body, each thrust faster than the last.

A huge, thick, iron-rod-like object thrust powerfully and urgently into Lin Jiayi's tender honey hole. When it forcefully entered, Lin Jiayi felt an unprecedented fullness, as if her entire vagina was about to burst open. When it withdrew, it felt as if everything inside her was leaving with it, leaving her feeling utterly empty. Lin Jiayi felt a surge of vaginal fluid, yet also a burning, slightly painful sensation. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, her slender waist swayed gently, and the intense shame she had felt earlier vanished from her mind. Even the most basic female modesty was thrown to the winds. Each entry of Yanxuan brought Lin Jiayi boundless pleasure, and the emptiness and hunger she felt upon withdrawal were even more intense. Lin Jiayi licked her lips in ecstasy, murmuring, "Oh, Yanxuan… no…" "I want your big cock to leave me!"

Lin Jiayi's lithe and fair body writhed incessantly, her flushed face flushed with intense passion, her expression a mixture of resentment and sadness, which only fueled Yan Xuan's lust. Her round and smooth buttocks trembled seductively with excitement, and her breasts rippled with waves of white flesh, glistening with sweat. Lin Jiayi's vulva hungrily swallowed and exhaled the huge and coarse penis, overflowing with hot, gushing fluids. Her two bright red labia seemed to breathe as they contracted, filling and overflowing with fluids as the penis thrust in. With each thrust, even her cleft was covered in glistening fluids, wetting Lin Jiayi's entire lower body. Lin Jiayi's long legs were raised high to the sky, and she continued to moan with excitement.

As Yan Xuan got excited, he lifted Lin Jiayi's snow-white thighs onto his shoulders and pushed forward forcefully until Lin Jiayi's beautiful body was folded in half. Lin Jiayi's high breasts were also deformed by his knees. Yan Xuan's ten fingers gripped Lin Jiayi's smooth and delicate waist, his huge penis looming high above her. Each thrust was powerful and deep, penetrating Lin Jiayi's muddy, wet, and incredibly tight vagina. Her narrow flower path had been aroused. Whenever Yan Xuan's huge penis entered, countless soft flesh clung tightly to the advancing shaft. When the huge penis withdrew, those soft flesh clung to the shaft like many small tongues, reluctant to let go. If they refused to let go, they would be pulled out of the vagina by Yan Xuan's purplish-black glans, turning out like a delicate red flower blooming between Lin Jiayi's labia.

Amidst Yanxuan's intense and ravaging acts, Lin Jiayi, unable to contain herself, responded with passionate writhing and panting. Her pair of fair, smooth, and perfectly slender legs would sometimes be raised high, sometimes gently lifted, as if unsure where to place them… Unconsciously, the beautiful, elegant, and dignified Lin Jiayi's graceful, fair, and slender legs wrapped around Yanxuan's waist, and with each thrust and withdrawal, they shyly and tightly clamped together, welcoming him. At the same time, Lin Jiayi would murmur dreamily: "Ah, ah… Yanxuan… you're going in so deep… oh, ah… Yanxuan, you've reached a place I've never been touched before… oh, ah… oh… huff… Yanxuan, my good man…" "...Your penis is so big!"

Yan Xuan looked at the stunning beauty moaning and groaning before him, her sweet, dreamlike expression, and decided to add fuel to the fire, to see just how wanton Lin Jiayi could be. So he thrust his thick, long, enormous penis deep into her hot, thirsty, narrow vagina with even wilder and rougher movements. After a series of wild and unrestrained thrusts, his rough, hot, and enormous glans actually entered the shy, radiantly blooming flower core—the cervix. The tip of his penis was pressed tightly against the deepest part of Lin Jiayi's vagina, the flower core. "Ah—!" Lin Jiayi let out a shy and delicate moan, unable to withstand the intense stimulation, and burst into a series of rapid, panting moans.

Yanxuan's massive penis filled the deepest part of Lin Jiayi's mysterious, untouched flower path. His large glans pressed tightly against Lin Jiayi's cervix, and then he began a series of kneading and touching sensations that made Lin Jiayi feel ecstatic and her soul tremble. Instantly, the beautiful, holy, pure, and lovely noble fairy trembled as if electrocuted, and she let out a series of hazy and flustered cries: "Ah...ah...oh...ah...um, um...oh...Yanxuan...ah...Yanxuan...Yanxuan...oh...ah...hoohoo...oh, oh...Yanxuan...my Yanxuan...I'm convinced by you!"

Lin Jiayi called out Yanxuan's name passionately, her hands tightly wrapped around the back of his neck. Her soft, boneless, delicate, and beautiful body convulsed and spasmed uncontrollably. The mucous membrane and tender flesh of her vaginal walls tightly clung to the huge intruder. With an uncontrollable, intense contraction and tight grip, Lin Jiayi's snow-white buttocks thrust upwards and arched in response. Like an octopus, her limbs were entwined around Yanxuan's back. She groaned for a moment, then cried out desperately, "Ah, ah... Yanxuan, you're so amazing... Oh, oh... Yanxuan, you're going to kill me... Oh... Ah... Hmm... Ah ha... Oh... I can't take it anymore... Oh... Oh... I'm done!" With her orgasm, Lin Jiayi's vaginal fluid gushed out, splashing onto Yanxuan's large glans like a hot spring... before finally subsiding.

The two embraced tightly, their bodies drenched in sweat. Yanxuan's large mouth kissed and licked Lin Jiayi's pretty face passionately, sucking on her full and sensual lips. Lin Jiayi nestled in Yanxuan's arms like a little bird, responding warmly. Their lips met, their tongues intertwined, and Lin Jiayi and Yanxuan caressed each other passionately. Yanxuan's large tongue enveloped Lin Jiayi's fragrant tongue, repeatedly sucking and licking it in her mouth. They sucked and teased until Lin Jiayi's soft, wet tongue also ventured into Yanxuan's mouth, greedily searching and licking. Their tongues intertwined passionately... Yanxuan fed Lin Jiayi his saliva in large gulps, and Lin Jiayi swallowed hurriedly. Then, Lin Jiayi also eagerly sent the saliva in her mouth into Yanxuan's throat. They kissed so passionately that they forgot themselves and continued to kiss each other wildly...

Although Lin Jiayi had already reached one climax, Yan Xuan's lust had not yet been quenched. At this moment, he finally gave up on Lin Jiayi's tongue, tilted his head back, and launched another round of attack with his large penis, which was still deeply buried in Lin Jiayi's vagina. Yan Xuan's movements became more and more intense. He thrust wildly and ravaged her to the fullest extent, using the maximum distance to increase the impact force. He pulled out and thrust in, thrust in and pulled out repeatedly. After dozens of rounds, he shortened the distance and thrust and pulled rapidly, making the lustful Lin Jiayi dizzy and screaming incessantly. Meanwhile, on Yan Xuan's lean and firm buttocks, the strip-shaped muscles twitched incessantly, like a male donkey in heat, desperately thrusting into Lin Jiayi's secret place.

Having just experienced intense stimulation, Lin Jiayi's delicate face was covered in splattered saliva. The burning sensation from before hadn't subsided when another storm of passion erupted in her vagina. Her sacred flower core was once again subjected to unprecedentedly fierce impacts. The ever-increasing speed and increasingly brutal thrusts made her feel as if Yanxuan's large penis was a scorching pillar of fire, wildly burning, churning, swirling, and surging within her honeyed cave. Lin Jiayi's face flushed with desire, her legs kicked wildly in the air, and her whole body began to convulse once more. She cried out in a wanton and lewd voice: "Oh, so itchy... mmm... um... ah... so good... so good!... I'm so full... oh... oh... Yanxuan... oh... my good brother... ah... oh... you... so good!... ah ha... um... oh, oh... I'm dying of pleasure!"

Lin Jiayi felt the flames within her growing stronger, deeper, and more widespread, burning her abdomen and coursing through her entire body! Lin Jiayi's beautiful face, flushed with desire, appeared even more alluring and captivating. Her moist, full lips trembled, sometimes revealing her pearly white teeth as she hissed and moaned. At other times, she tossed her long, glossy black hair that cascaded down her back and shoulders. Though her hair was disheveled and fluttering, it only enhanced Lin Jiayi's charm. Yan Xuan lifted Lin Jiayi's thighs with both hands, spreading her legs across his shoulders. Then, he leaned forward at a 45-degree angle, concentrating his strength in his waist, and began to thrust wildly, each stroke deeper and harder than the last, reaching the very core of her secret place with every impact.

"Mmm...oh...oh...oh...so good!...Hoo, hoo...it's so beautiful!...Ah...Yanxuan, my good brother...oh...uh...ouch...brother...brother...so good...mmm...hum...ah...so good!"

The beautiful and dignified Lin Jiayi panted and moaned incessantly, her uncontrollable flow of nectar gushing out towards the penis. Yanxuan's intense thrusts made Lin Jiayi's blood boil. She bit her lower lip tightly, her beautiful face showing a seductive expression that was both shy and pleasurable. After a while, Lin Jiayi cried out again: "Ah!...I can't...can't take it anymore...ouch...oh...so good...ah...uh...don't...don't...kill me...oh...sigh...be gentle...okay?...Waaah..." "Brother... oh... so... good... oh... ah... um... fuck... me... to death... ah... um..."

As the large penis continued to penetrate deeper, and as the speed of the thrusting changed, Lin Jiayi's soul and body enjoyed wave after wave of different sensations. She involuntarily burst into increasingly intense moans. At this moment, Yan Xuan, who was already drenched in sweat like rain, shouted: "What a slut! Watch how I fuck your cunt to pieces!" He used his last bit of strength and thrust deep into her flower path, causing Lin Jiayi's petals to contract in waves, and Yan Xuan's penis to swell wave after wave. Then, the petals tightly wrapped around the penis, and the penis squeezed the petals, tightly and impenetrably. A strong stimulation attacked Lin Jiayi and Yan Xuan at the same time.

"Oh... Yanxuan... my good brother... brother... you... you're going to... fuck me... fuck me to death... ah... oh... um... please... oh... be gentle... brother... please... um... oh... ah... I... I can't... take it... anymore..." Lin Jiayi began to beg for mercy, but Yanxuan thrust harder and harder, not caring whether Lin Jiayi could handle it. He pounded into Lin Jiayi like a mad bull until she trembled all over, her limbs shaking, and she climaxed in front of Yanxuan once again!

In the throes of wild, frenzied climax, Lin Jiayi climaxed three times in succession.

During a series of intense thrusts, Yan Xuan's pleasure was also nearing its peak. He continued his rapid thrusts, releasing Lin Jiayi's lips and whispering in her ear, "Miss Lin Jiayi, prepare to accept my seed. Perhaps, you will bear a child for this lowly slave of mine, hehe..."

Lin Jiayi suddenly awoke, her eyes filled with panic, her head swaying wildly. She tried to push Yan Xuan away with her hands, but unfortunately, her hands were still bound. She was willing but powerless; the idea of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts had long been forgotten.

After a long while, Yan Xuan finally withdrew from Lin Jiayi's body. As the milky white fluid gushed from her vulva as he left, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Then, he lay down beside Lin Jiayi, gently kneading her two round breasts, inhaling the scent of her hair mixed with her sweat. He began to feel incredibly lucky; being reborn was a hundred thousand times more pleasurable than his previous life.

Now, even if someone asked him to leave this world, he would rather die than go.

As dawn broke outside the window, Yanxuan and Lin Jiayi had made love countless times.

After a series of passionate encounters, Yanxuan reluctantly left Lin Jiayi's body, chuckling as he said, "You're so tempting..."

"You broke your vow, and you will be punished!" Lin Jiayi said coldly, her eyes filled with boundless resentment.

Yan Xuan laughed and said, "Then let God punish me, Miss Lin Jiayi. Don't blame me, I really wanted to keep my promise, but your body is just too beautiful, too tempting. I couldn't resist and did this."

Lin Jiayi said weakly, "You've achieved your goal, give me back the magic scroll."

Yan Xuan sneered, "Ha, did I say I would give you back the magic scroll?"

Lin Jiayi suddenly opened her eyes wide, trying to sit up, but slumped back down. She said angrily, "It was you...you promised me! You devil, are you going to go back on your word?!"

Yan Xuan said, "Don't think I don't know what you're planning. You want to get the magic scroll and then kill me, right? Let me tell you, I only said I would guarantee that no one else would see the scroll, but I never said I would hand it over to you."

After saying that, he chuckled and added, "I don't want to die yet. I can't bear to part with such a beautiful body as yours." Ignoring Lin Jiayi's anger, he grabbed her full, round buttocks and squeezed them hard. "Can you live without me? Don't you think men give you much more pleasure than women?"

Yan Xuan slowly dressed, his usual ingratiating smile returning to his face. He walked to Lin Jiayi's side, untied her bonds, and bowed, saying, "Miss Lin Jiayi, I will definitely work hard!" He deliberately emphasized the word "work," his eyes blazing with naked lust.

"Don't worry, I won't always threaten you with magic scrolls. As long as you obey me a little, I promise I won't go too far," Yan Xuan said.

"Devil!" Lin Jiayi's eyes turned icy as she gritted her teeth and said.

Yan Xuan smiled contemptuously and said, "Devil? What's a devil? This place is a jungle, isn't that what you always say? What right do you have to beat and scold me at will? What right do you have to be my slave and you my master? Have you ever thought about this? We're all equal, it's simple, I won, and you lost!"

Then, with an icy expression, he said, "Let me tell you, from now on, in the Desire Restaurant, in front of everyone, I am your slave! In this storage room, when we're alone, you, Lin Jiayi, are my slave!"

After saying that, Yan Xuan turned and left the storage room.

Lin Jiayi watched Yan Xuan's departing figure, feeling the weakness brought on by excessive indulgence. Her sexy body slumped onto the mat, her eyes becoming empty, her expression filled with immense sorrow.

Almighty God!

What did I do wrong to deserve this punishment? Am I really destined to become this devil's slave, never to escape?

No one will tell her the answer. A new day has begun, and what she will face is how to confront Yan Xuan.

It wasn't until noon that Lin Jiayi finally appeared in the lobby of the Desire Restaurant.

Her stunningly beautiful face was haggard, a sickly flush tinged with her fair cheeks. She moved unsteadily, clearly having suffered some physical harm from Yan Xuan's repeated demands the previous night.

However, seeing the emptiness in her once bright, cold eyes, the physical injuries paled in comparison to the wounds in her heart.

Yan Xuan, busy among the numerous customers, secretly observed Lin Jiayi. He wondered if he had been too harsh on her.

But he quickly dismissed the question. Too harsh? Not at all. Compared to Lin Jiayi's attempt to kill him, what did it matter?

In fact, even if he had, so what?

Yan Xuan would never let Lin Jiayi go just because of a momentary moment of weakness. Not for any other reason than her exquisite body, which he was already hopelessly infatuated with.

"Sister Lin Jiayi, why do you look so pale? Why don't you rest in your room?" Su Ying said with concern, making room for Lin Jiayi at the bar and helping her sit down.

Tang Jing asked suspiciously, "Sister Lin Jiayi, you're a martial arts practitioner, what's wrong with you lately? Did something go wrong during your practice? Perhaps I can check you out tonight?"

Lin Jiayi quickly nodded, forcing a smile as she politely declined Tang Jing's offer.

What a joke! Would she dare let Tang Jing examine her? Last night, Yan Xuan had left countless bright red hickeys and faint bruises on her body. If Tang Jing found out, what would become of her?

In Chapter 115, recalling

how Lin Jiayi, to avoid drawing Tang Jing and Su Ying's attention away from her, glanced at the guests in the hall and frowned, saying, "Why are there so many unfamiliar faces?"

Su Ying replied, "I forgot to tell you when I saw you yesterday, Yanan City is going to be lively again soon."

"What's wrong?" Lin Jiayi asked.

Tang Jing quickly recounted the announcement from the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire about a treasure trade in Yanan City, then said fiercely, "I hope I don't see that arrogant elf woman, or I'll give her a piece of my mind!"

Mentioning Li Jie, Tang Jing immediately became annoyed.

She looked around and saw that the number of guests waiting for seats outside was increasing, but the order was poor. She found an excuse to angrily shout at Yan Xuan, "Yan Xuan, come here!"

Yan Xuan hurriedly placed the food from his tray on the tables of the guests who needed it and quickly walked towards the bar.

As he stood outside the bar, his eyes secretly glancing at Lin Jiayi, Lin Jiayi's gaze met his.

Lin Jiayi's body trembled instantly, her face turning deathly pale. Her eyes darted away from Yan Xuan, and in that instant, a chill ran through her body as if she were being coiled by a venomous snake.

In fact, Lin Jiayi had been racking her brains for a solution. She couldn't let this devil use the magic scroll to blackmail her for life. She realized that this devil wouldn't let her go, but she also knew that now wasn't the time to kill Yan Xuan. She had paid a huge price for the magic scroll; if she killed Yan Xuan and allowed the scroll to spread, wouldn't her sacrifice be in vain?

She needed to be patient and wait for the right moment. Although Lin Jiayi's expression was still haggard, a fierce flame of hatred burned within her. She secretly vowed that once she found Yan Xuan's accomplices, she would kill them with the cruelest methods in the world, using their blood to wash away the stain on her own body!

Fortunately, Su Ying and Tang Jing didn't notice Lin Jiayi's sudden change; otherwise, they would have had to waste a lot more time explaining.

"Yanxuan, are you an idiot! Can't you see how chaotic it is at the entrance? Don't you know to go and talk to the guests?" Tang Jing said angrily.

Yanxuan hurriedly nodded, cursing inwardly, "That female tyrant!

Damn it, you were the one who said we didn't need to pay attention to them, and now she's blaming me!" Thinking this, he still had to do it. Yanxuan quickly went to the entrance and smiled at the guests, saying, "Honorable guests, please be quiet. We will arrange seating according to order."

In the crowd, a burly man with a full beard muttered, "Damn it all! This is Ya'nan City! Even eating here requires queuing!"

A middle-aged man beside him said, "Brother, we're here to make money. Just bear with it. Besides, Ya'nan City isn't just this one restaurant. If you're really in a hurry, why don't you go to other restaurants? I think you're here because of its reputation, just like me, aren't you?"

The burly man gave a noncommittal grunt.

The middle-aged man ignored him, chuckling to himself, "Those three female owners behind the bar are really pretty. I have to go closer and take a look later. I wonder if they offer any special services. Hehe, if those three girls are willing to provide services, I'll pay any price to have them."

Money, power, and women—these three things are definitely the interests of all men.

Those who had been waiting idly nearby heard this and lewdly gathered around, gossiping and laughing.

At that moment, a booming sound

of gongs and drums came from the direction of the city gates of Yharnam City facing the Elven Territory. Judging from the distance, the procession was moving very fast.

Just as everyone was curiously looking in the direction of the sound, discussing what was going on,

several merchants came running quickly towards them, shouting as they ran, "Hurry to the square! The treasure trading group from the Heavenly Vine Elven Empire is here..."

All the merchants who came to Yanan City were there to make a fortune during the Tian Teng Elf Empire's event. Now that the main attraction had arrived, no one wanted to stay and queue anymore. After all, eating and looking at beautiful women was nothing compared to making money.

Even the merchants dining at the Desire Restaurant hurriedly paid their bills, afraid of missing out on good seats.

A moment later, the Desire Restaurant was nearly empty. Only

Yan Xuan stood at the entrance, and Tang Jing and Su Ying, their faces full of curiosity, remained at the bar.

Lin Jiayi, however, remained undisturbed, sitting absentmindedly at the bar, her face etched with sadness.

Evening.

All the customers at the Desire Restaurant had left.

Yan Xuan sat in his chair, only now feeling his aching back. It seemed he had been too relaxed last night. He secretly glanced at Lin Jiayi, who was absentmindedly discussing something with Tang Jing and Su Ying.

The emptiness made everyone feel quite bored.

After hesitating for a long time at the back door, Yingwu, with a secret nod from Yanxuan, entered the hall. However, she didn't dare get too close to Yanxuan, instead finding a chair near the bar and listening to Tang Jing and the others chat.

As for the extra, the man with the goatee, he squatted at the back door, too afraid to enter the hall but unwilling to leave, so he simply squatted there in a horse stance.

Something seemed to have happened at the circus today; Xu Jing and the others hadn't returned yet.

If Su Ying and Tang Jing hadn't been discussing the timing of the treasure trade from the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire, which was still quite novel, she probably would have already lost her temper.

Yanxuan grew increasingly bored. He didn't dare approach the bar like Yingwu, so he could only lie on the table, stealing glances at Yingwu's back and occasionally glancing at Lin Jiayi's pretty face, thinking about the alluring moments he shared with them, secretly feeling smug.

"Damn it! I've slept with two out of these four women. Who else but me would be so lucky?"

Yan Xuan's confidence swelled to unprecedented levels. Thinking of women, he naturally compared them to the beautiful women he knew.

He couldn't help but think of Yana. Yana had been gone for a while, hadn't she? What happened to her? Why hadn't she returned after so long?

Thinking of Yana, Yan Xuan naturally recalled the scenes of their passionate encounters. For this first woman in his past and present lives, Yan Xuan cared more about her than any other woman.

As Yana's image became clearer in Yan Xuan's mind, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, startling him so much he almost stood up and screamed.

(Chapter 116: Renting the Restaurant Lobby)

The fleeting figure Yan Xuan saw at the carpenter's shop last time looked so much like Yana!

Could it be that this woman had already returned to Yanan City but wasn't coming back to see him?

Damn it, all that pretense about a mysterious contract, a master-servant relationship... damn it, it's probably all a scam. It must be, it must be that Yana is trying to trick him into giving her the Nine Yang Manual, that's why she told all those lies to keep her by her side. Damn it, no wonder she's always so obsessed with the Nine Yang Manual when she's around!

Damn it, if only there really was that mysterious contract! Damn it, I'll curse her horribly!

A feeling of being deceived washed over Yanxuan. This woman really can't be trusted, Yanxuan cursed viciously in his heart.

In a corner of Yanan City, the long-absent Yana sat pale-faced in a chair. Beside her was a very beautiful dark elf girl with a slightly childlike face.

"Holy Maiden, what's wrong?" the girl asked with concern.

Yana shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "It's nothing."

Before she finished speaking, Yana's body suddenly trembled, her beautiful face contorted in pain, and the red spider between her brows emitted a faint blush, which quickly spread throughout her body.

"Yanxuan is cursing me..." Yana thought to herself. The mysterious contract of the Dark Elf was not as unrestricted as Yanxuan thought. In fact, Yana could not leave Yanxuan for long under the contract; there was a time limit. Now, Yana was suffering damage from the contract that had exceeded the time limit. Her body grew weaker day by day, and the pain became more and more intense. At this moment, her fragile body was extremely sensitive to her master's curses. When her body was strong, Yana would at most only sense them, but now, every curse from Yanxuan would turn into physical pain.

But what could she do?

Yana cannot return to Yanxuan's side yet. A slight problem arose within the Dark Elf clan while she was on her way back, and she must resolve it before returning to Yanxuan. She must patiently play the role of a female slave to obtain the secrets of the Nine Yang Manual.

"Holy Maiden, you..." the girl began to speak again.

Yana waved her hand, interrupting the girl, and said, "Jing Sa, I'm fine, don't worry."

Jing Sa said, "Holy Maiden, you must have something on your mind, but why did you hide it from us? Why did you announce your departure so long after returning to the clan? Do you really have another man, as my brother said?"

Yana's body trembled slightly, and she said, "Do you think so too? The reason I'm leaving is for the sake of our Dark Elf clan. Am I such a selfish person? Our race is in its most dangerous moment; how could I abandon my race for a man? Jing Sa, did you see your brother today? You must persuade him to return to the Dark Forest quickly and assume the responsibility of chieftain. The clan cannot be without a leader. Only when he returns can I do my work with peace of mind."

Jing Sa said bitterly... She gave a bitter laugh and said, "Holy Maiden, you must know my brother loves you, right? He left because of you, and you hurt him."

Yana raised an eyebrow and said, "That's what I despise about him—abandoning his race for a woman! I made it clear to him last time I spoke to him: he has no chance with me! Tomorrow, tell him I don't have much time left. If he insists on staying here, I will punish him according to the clan rules!"

Jing Sa exclaimed in shock, "You...you really want to punish my brother? Holy Maiden, you and my brother grew up together, don't you really have any feelings for each other?"

Yana stood up, her expression cold and resolute, and said, "There are no feelings for me, only the future of the Dark Elf race!"

In the Desire Tavern.

It was very late when Xu Jing returned with the circus girls.

Among them was a young woman in strange attire. Yan Xuan recognized her; it was the uniform of those so-called Heavenly Vine Elf Empire elven warriors from the robbery incident.

"Huh... how did Xu Jing end up with the elven warriors from the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire?" Su Ying looked at Tang Jing and Lin Jiayi with a puzzled expression.

Tang Jing snorted coldly, glaring at Xu Jing and the others with disdain.

To save Xu Jing's face, Su Ying smiled and went to greet them, saying, "Miss Xu Jing, did you add another performance today? Why are you back so late?"

Xu Jing smiled apologetically and said, "Miss Su Ying, I'm so sorry, our circus had some unexpected matters, which is why we were delayed. If this happens again, please don't wait for us, otherwise I'll feel very guilty."

"If you felt guilty, you should have sent someone to inform us!" Tang Jing said bluntly.

Xu Jing smiled and said, "Indeed, I didn't think of that. I apologize again."

As she spoke, the female elven warrior coughed twice.

Xu Jing hurriedly turned around and pulled her to her side, introducing her to Su Ying: "Miss Su Ying, Miss Tang Jing, Miss Lin Jiayi, since you're all here, let me introduce you. This is the Deputy Chief of the Royal Guard of the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire. I think you all know about the treasure transaction of the Heavenly Vine Elf

Empire, right? Chief Guard Fei Xue is in charge of this transaction." "I know she's an elven warrior from the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire. Pshaw, would any other elven empire have such ugly uniforms!"

Because of Li Jie, Tang Jing didn't have a good impression of the entire Heavenly Vine Elf Empire, and now she seized the opportunity to start mocking them.

The head guard, Feixue, changed his expression and grunted, saying, "Is this how your esteemed restaurant treats customers who want to discuss business?"

"Discuss business?" Tang Jing hesitated, then said, "We have no business to discuss with you. We're poor; we don't have any treasures to exchange!"

Seeing the atmosphere growing increasingly tense, Su Ying quickly advised, "Sister Tang Jing, please say less and listen to what kind of business she wants to discuss."

Tang Jing snorted coldly and shut her mouth. In fact, she understood perfectly well that she was playing the role of an ordinary restaurant owner. Restaurant owners are expected to welcome all customers with a smile and treat everyone with kindness. However, she just couldn't control her temper; she would unconsciously launch into a tirade against people she didn't like.

Su Ying smiled at the head guard and said, "What kind of business do you want to discuss?"

It must be said that among Lin Jiayi, Su Ying, and Tang Jing, Su Ying was the most like a restaurant owner. She could put on a smiling face for everyone, even if she disliked them, she could still maintain a sense of propriety.

Captain Feixue's expression softened slightly, and she asked, "How should I address you?"

"Just call me Su Ying, Captain Feixue," Su Ying nodded politely.

"Miss Su Ying, I want to discuss with you the matter of leasing the lobby of your esteemed restaurant," Captain Feixue said.

"Leasing the lobby of a restaurant?" Su Ying asked in surprise.

Chapter 117: Be Humble and Modest.

Captain Feixue nodded and said, “You must know that our trade fair will be held in three days, right? Although there are special trading halls in Yanan City, the atmosphere there is terrible; it creates a tense atmosphere. We strive to make this trade fair something that people will talk about long afterward. The entire trade fair needs to be conducted in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Therefore, I thought of a restaurant. In Yanan City, the Desire Restaurant is second to none. I think it would be perfect if the trade fair could be held here.”

It seems Captain Feixue is quite cultured. Even after being subjected to Tang Jing's unwarranted sarcasm upon entering, she didn't let personal feelings interfere with the important matter. Instead, she spoke with great composure, praising the Desire Restaurant highly. Not only Su Ying, the owner, and Tang Jing, as well as Lin Jiayi, but even Yan Xuan found it very pleasing.

Su Ying smiled and said, "Your Excellency Captain Feixue, you flatter me too much."

Captain Feixue said, "Miss Su Ying, would you consider our request?"

Su Ying nodded and said, "Of course, it's our pleasure to contribute to such a grand event for your country."

Business is business, so Su Ying and Captain Feixue began negotiating the rental price.

After some discussion, they found a price they both agreed on and finalized the rental agreement on the spot. Xu Jing, who was present, acted as the notary.

After drafting a contract, both parties signed it, and the deal was done.

Xu Jing smiled and said, "That's wonderful! I'm so happy it went so smoothly. Miss Su Ying, you probably don't know, but the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire has also hired our circus as a break from the business. I'll be performing magic in the restaurant then."

Su Ying said, "Really? Hehe, that's great! We can enjoy Miss Xu Jing's wonderful performance without even leaving home. It seems we really hit the jackpot this time."

After completing his mission, Captain Feixue exchanged a few polite words and left the Desire Restaurant.

Tang Jing, who hadn't objected at all, finally said, "This Captain Feixue is quite pleasing to the eye, much better than that Li Jie. Humph, if that Li Jie dares to come and talk to us about this, I'll kick her out immediately!"

Su Ying giggled and said, "Sister Tang Jing, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? If that Li Jie comes, I won't agree even without you saying so!"

"Who is Li Jie?" Xu Jing asked curiously.

Su Ying smiled and said, "The head of the royal guards of the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire, who seems to be a princess, a very arrogant woman."

"Wrong, she should be a very annoying woman!" Tang Jing added.

After Xu Jing and the circus members finished their meal and returned to their room, Su Ying went to the bar and said to Lin Jiayi, "Sister Lin Jiayi, what's wrong with you? You haven't said a word all day."

Lin Jiayi smiled faintly and said, "I'm just feeling a little unwell, I'll be fine in a couple of days."

"Sister Lin Jiayi, are you satisfied with my decision just now?" Su Ying asked.

Lin Jiayi nodded and said, "You did a great job, hehe, I absolutely agree!"

Su Ying covered her mouth and laughed, "This is a good opportunity, with so many people, there must be a lot of information to hear..."

At this moment, Yan Xuan, who was cleaning the dishes in the back, walked in.

Su Ying immediately shut up and stopped talking.

Tang Jing said loudly, "I'm sleepy, let's go back and rest. If Xu Jing doesn't come back this late next time, I'll close the door immediately and not wait for her anymore!"

Then she instructed Yan Xuan, "Yan Xuan, clean up the hall, and while you're at it, think about how to arrange the tables to create more space when we hold the trade fair!"

Yan Xuan quickly nodded and said, "Miss Tang Jing, don't worry!"

Tang Jing nodded, turned around, jumped up the stairs, and called to Su Ying and Lin Jiayi, "Let's go back."

When Lin Jiayi was the last to come out from behind the bar and passed by Yan Xuan, Yan Xuan secretly placed his hand on Lin Jiayi's plump buttocks and gently squeezed it.

Lin Jiayi's body suddenly trembled, and she didn't dare to turn around, quickly walking upstairs.

As their footsteps faded on the stairs, Yanxuan chuckled mischievously. It felt so good to be in charge now. He had no intention of showing off, even though using Lin Jiayi could easily achieve that goal. He was more satisfied with his current life. Who would notice a nobody like him? Keep a low profile, hehe.

Just as Yanxuan was pondering how to set up the scene, a sharp pain in his waist almost made him cry out.

Turning around, he saw Yingwu triumphantly pinching his waist.

Yanxuan said with a mournful face, "Why don't you walk quietly? You scare people to death! I didn't do anything to you, why do you keep pinching me?"

Yingwu glared at him and said, "You deserve it! I'm asking you, how exactly did you talk to Lin Jiayi? You said you'd report to me immediately! Did you tell me?"

Yanxuan secretly had a headache. He'd had so much fun last night that he'd completely forgotten about Yingwu!

"I just haven't found the time to tell you yet," Yanxuan said aggrievedly. "Can you let go of me first? It hurts so much. Please, don't always pinch the same spot in the future, okay?"

Yingwu pouted and said, "Tell me first, and I'll let go after you've finished!"

Helpless, Yanxuan could only say, "I just threatened her and told her not to cause us any more trouble, and she agreed."

"Is it really that simple?" Yingwu asked doubtfully.

"What more complicated do you want?" Yanxuan reached out and forcefully removed Yingwu's hand from her soft flesh. He wasn't about to tell Yingwu the truth about what happened between him and Lin Jiayi; it was better to keep such things a secret.

Yingwu suddenly leaned close to Yanxuan mysteriously and whispered, "Fatty, I have something to tell you..."

"What is it?" Yanxuan asked curiously.

"I think I heard some noises coming from the storage room again last night..." Yingwu said.

Yanxuan's body stiffened. He carefully examined Yingwu's expression, thinking, "Could it be that this girl really saw it last night? Is she trying to trick me?"

Then he started to blame himself for being careless and making a bit too loud.

"Do you think Lin Jiayi and that strange woman did 'that' in the storage room again last night?" Yingwu said, blushing.

Yan Xuan immediately relaxed, chuckled, and said, "Which one?"

"That one!" Ying Wu glared at Yan Xuan, her face flushing even more: "Are you doing this on purpose?!" She reached for Yan Xuan's waist again.

Yan Xuan quickly backed away, bowing and begging for forgiveness. Seeing that Ying Wu's expression had softened and she didn't want to pursue the matter, he shamelessly leaned closer, gently pulling Ying Wu into his arms, and said ambiguously, "Of course not, I was just threatening her a little. How about we do 'that' too?"

The fat man naturally wouldn't admit to such a thing.

"You fatso! Go to hell!" Ying Wu quickly broke free from Yan Xuan's embrace, glaring at him warily.

Yan Xuan grinned mischievously, pretending to pounce, and Ying Wu turned and ran away in fright…

Watching Ying Wu's retreating figure, Yan Xuan suddenly understood a principle: in this world without television or computers, what else can a man do besides chasing women?

Chapter 118: The Treasure Trade Event of the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire

. In the Desire Tavern, the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire's treasure trade fair was held as scheduled.

Thanks to Yan Xuan's arrangements, representatives from the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire, along with several performers from Xu Jing's Circus who had been selected, sat on the second floor.

Merchants preparing to participate in the trade sat on the first floor; although it was a bit crowded, it was still relatively orderly.

It seemed the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire was quite sincere about this treasure trade fair; several clumsy yet luxurious large chests were placed side-by-side in a prominent position on the second floor.

Several elven warriors were constantly busy under the command of the Flying Snow Guard Captain.

More and more merchants filled the hall, until all the seats were filled, with many standing, especially outside the door, where curious residents of Yanan City crowded the entrance.

In contrast, the most comfortable spot was behind the bar, where Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi sat down with great interest, waiting for the trade fair to begin.

As for Yingwu, she had been hiding in her room since early on, fearing that showing her face would attract the attention of some scheming person from the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire.

However, she also fiercely told Yanxuan that he had to vividly describe the event to her, or else he would be in trouble.

The most pitiful one was Yanxuan, who had to stand at the back door, waiting to be summoned by some guest. To make matters worse, that damned goatee had been squatting there since early morning, taking up most of the already small space.

The weather was hot, and in such a crowded place, the temperature was even worse.

The plump merchants who were comfortably seated, sipping the iced tea prepared by the Desire Restaurant, were already groaning and sweating profusely, let alone the chubby Yanxuan who had to stand the whole time.

Finally, the time set by the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire for the trading to begin arrived, but the Flying Snow Guard Captain was still late.

This greatly displeased the merchants, who discussed it loudly below, and some even protested.

Sitting on the second floor, Xu Jing walked over to the head guard, Fei Xue. After whispering a few words, Xu Jing stood at the top of the stairs and announced loudly, "The trade fair will be delayed for a while. Please wait a little longer. To pass the time, we will present a few performances."

The appearance of the beautiful woman finally quieted down the merchants who had been complaining, but they still discussed the reason for the sudden delay.

It seemed that Xu Jing had made thorough preparations for the performances.

The programs she had selected were all small in number, requiring little space, and were still quite entertaining.

If the restaurant hall hadn't been so crowded and the air so stuffy, the merchants would probably have been quickly drawn in by the performances and treated it as a form of entertainment.

"Damn it! It's so hot and stuffy! Why hasn't the trading started yet? Are you kidding me?"

a fat merchant shouted, wiping the large beads of sweat from his fat face and angrily throwing the fruit peel in his hand upstairs.

The Snowfall Guard Captain's expression changed, and he gave a wink to the elven warriors beside him.

One of the elven warriors, his face grim, walked down the stairs, forcefully squeezed in front of the fat merchant, and ignoring his struggles, lifted his obese body with a single hand and, without regard for his life, threw him over the heads of the others out of the Desire Tavern.

Yan Xuan watched this, cursing inwardly, "Damn it, does he really think this is the territory of the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire? Damn, that's too arrogant!"

With this precedent, the others became much more obedient. Although most of these merchants had hired bodyguards because they were carrying valuable treasures on this long journey, they were after money, not anger. Besides, they were hoping to make a fortune from the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire, and offending the god of wealth at this time was not a wise thing to do.

Yan Xuan knew that Xu Jing's performance was always the grand finale. This meant that if Xu Jing's performance ended now, the Tian Teng Elf Empire would either immediately begin the trade fair or have to give the merchants some explanation.

Xu Jing's magic performance wasn't anything new; she simply conjured things out of thin air. The difference was that previously her prop was a top hat, but today it was a large box.

It must be said that Xu Jing's magic performance wasn't about the magic tricks themselves, but about every movement she made. Dressed in men's clothing, her movements were dashing and heroic, yet her facial expressions and every glance were full of allure.

Everyone's eyes weren't drawn to the box that could conjure things, but rather to her curvaceous figure under her tight men's clothing and her captivating blue eyes.

After Xu Jing revealed the empty interior of the box again, she tightly closed the lid, and after a few sexy moves, she gracefully opened the box.

Suddenly, a figure stood up inside the box.

"Li Jie!" Tang Jing, who had been watching intently, was the first to exclaim.

Li Jie smiled slightly towards the bar, then, expressionless, addressed the astonished merchants downstairs: "I, Li Jie, am the Chief Guard of the Royal Palace of the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire, and the true host of this trade fair!"

Li Jie waved her arm and announced, "The trade fair begins!"

Li Jie's sudden appearance had no impact on the merchants; they were there to make money in Yanan City, and they didn't care who hosted the treasure trade fair. However, Li Jie's sudden appearance, the manner of her arrival, and her arrogant yet beautiful face left the merchants utterly astonished.

This trade fair was merely a commercial event. The previous appointment of Captain Feixue as the host already demonstrated the importance the Tian Teng Elf Empire placed on it. However, the sudden change of host to someone of even higher status only heightened the merchants' anticipation. It seemed the Tian Teng Elf Empire must possess some extremely valuable treasures!

After a brief exchange of whispers, the merchants looked expectantly upstairs, placing their bundles and exquisite little boxes on the tables, preparing for the trade fair to begin.

However, Li Jie's appearance infuriated Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi.

The fair began.

Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi had no liking for this arrogant woman; in fact, they loathed her. If Captain Feixue hadn't insisted on hosting the fair instead of Li Jie, they would never have agreed to the rental.

But now, the contract is finalized, and Li Jie has appeared in this strange way as the person in charge of the trade fair. Regardless of her purpose, Tang Jing and the others feel they've been played.

Su Ying and Lin Jiayi are furious, but helpless. They can't show excessive disgust; they must also comfort the hot-tempered Tang Jing. Letting Tang Jing cause a scene would be unwise.

Yan Xuan is equally surprised, but not by Li Jie's appearance, but by the way she appeared. It seems Xu Jing knew about this arrangement and acted as a collaborator.

Who exactly is Xu Jing?

Does she have some connection to the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire? She forced him to monitor Tang Jing and the others—is she working for the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire?

Yan Xuan is filled with doubts. He feels the increasingly mysterious Xu Jing is dangerous!

Knowing there was a ticking time bomb beside him, threatening his life at any moment, was an unbearable feeling. One could either hide or passively wait for it to explode. Clearly, Yan Xuan, who had just begun to enjoy the allure of this world, would never choose either path.

He felt there was a third option: to take the initiative and defuse the bomb!

As this thought flashed through Yan Xuan's mind, he couldn't help but gasp. Standing in the sweltering hall, he felt a chill. He couldn't help it; Xu Jing's mysterious and terrifying strength had already made Yan Xuan extremely wary.

While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, the treasure trading fair finally began.

At Li Jie's prompting, the Flying Snow Guard Captain briefly explained the rules of the fair. They weren't complicated: whenever the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire presented a treasure, their hired human appraisers would price it according to the human empire's market value.

The merchants participating in the trade fair naturally knew the value of their treasures. After obtaining valuations from the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire's treasures, they considered whether their own treasures were close to the Elf Empire's prices. If they were close, they could present them for the Elf Empire to choose from. If their prices were slightly lower than the Elf Empire's treasures, they could make up the difference with money. However, the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire imposed a restriction on this rule: the price difference between the treasures could not exceed ten thousand gold coins.

"The Heavenly Vine Elf Empire's first treasure!" The gaunt, elderly appraiser hired by the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire, despite his age, had a strong, clear voice that resonated with everyone present.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, Captain Feixue opened the first large box. As soon as it was opened, a refreshing fragrance immediately filled the entire Desire Tavern. The scent was fresh and natural, light yet lingering, and the more one inhaled, the more delightful it became. Even more surprisingly, this fragrance seemed to have a calming and invigorating effect; those who had been feeling dizzy and lightheaded in the sweltering heat felt a noticeable boost in their spirits upon smelling it. The

originally sweltering Desire Tavern seemed to cool down considerably under the influence of this fragrance.

"Heavenly Vine Flower Essence!" Captain Feixue announced loudly, taking out a fist-sized crystal bottle from the box.

The crystal bottle contained a pale blue liquid, and in the sunlight, its blue glow shone on everyone's faces. This first treasure alone was enough to astound everyone.

Among the merchants present were many knowledgeable individuals. One middle-aged merchant, with a fair complexion and no beard, exclaimed in surprise, "My goodness, so much Heavenly Vine Flower Essence!"

"What is this?" a merchant beside him asked curiously.

The fair-faced merchant smiled slightly and said, "Have you ever heard of 'Alluring Charm'?"

The merchant beside him shook his head in confusion.

Another merchant, drawn by their voices, interjected, "Brother, your knowledge is truly appalling! You've never even heard of 'Alluring Charm'? That's the most popular perfume on our human continent! However, the production of that perfume is extremely limited. Even the families of lower-ranking officials in the empire can't obtain it. To be honest, even the concubines in the royal palace have to use it sparingly..."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

the pale-faced merchant chimed in. "That's a conservative estimate. To be honest, I've dabbled in this business before. Back then, demand far exceeded supply! Do you know the price of a single drop of 'Myriad Charms'? A full one hundred gold coins! And the raw material for 'Myriad Charms' is the essence of the Heavenly Vine Flower. Ever since the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire intensified its crackdown on smugglers, the essence of the Heavenly Vine Flower has become even harder to circulate to our human empire. Now, the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire is really going all out. Let me think... one drop of Heavenly Vine Flower essence can be diluted to make fifty drops of 'Myriad Charms' in one bottle..."

"Damn, one drop diluted to fifty drops, that's a conservative estimate of five thousand gold coins for one bottle..." The merchants' eyes widened as they secretly assessed the value of the treasures they had brought. At the same time, they were secretly delighted that they had come to the right place. The first treasure was already this valuable; they couldn't imagine what the future treasures would be like.

At this moment, Li Jie suddenly said, "To ensure everyone's trip is worthwhile and that everyone benefits, I've decided to lower the appraised price by 30%. After all, these treasures aren't particularly rare in our Heavenly Vine Elf Empire. If we exchange them at full price, you won't make any profit..."

Li Jie's words immediately won the favor of the merchants, and praise filled the air.

Although Li Jie remained expressionless in the face of the praise, a hint of smugness couldn't help but show in her eyes.

Tang Jing muttered under her breath, "Hypocritical! Purely just trying to win people over!"

Su

Ying and Lin Jiayi frowned, beginning to speculate that this treasure trading conference might not be so simple. Li Jie's actions were undoubtedly an attempt to win people over, but what use was it for the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire to win over these human merchants? Moreover, these self-proclaimed noble and holy great elves had always looked down on humans.

"The original essence of the Heavenly Vine Flower is valued at 250,000 gold coins. After deducting 30%, that's 175,000 gold coins! Now, please place your valuable items on the table for Miss Li Jie to choose from!" the appraiser announced loudly after estimating the price.

After a brief murmur of discussion, several merchants reluctantly opened their chests. Since seeing the first treasure, the original essence of the Heavenly Vine Flower, these shrewd merchants had realized that this treasure trading event was far more exciting than they had imagined, and they estimated that the later treasures would bring them even greater profits.

Normally, everyone would want to possess the essence of the Heavenly Vine Flower and make a fortune. However, at this moment, due to the allure of the treasures to come, the essence of the Heavenly Vine Flower was not so satisfying. Unfortunately, even some merchants who wanted to wait until later couldn't find treasures of comparable value, and could only regretfully offer their valuables in the hope of obtaining the essence of the Heavenly Vine Flower. After all, something is better than nothing.

For a moment, the Desire Restaurant was dazzling with jewels, drawing exclamations of admiration from the onlookers outside. Yan Xuan drooled. Good heavens! In both his past and present lives, this was the first time he had ever seen so many valuable treasures.

Money is a bastard, but Yan Xuan loved bastards.

Only Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi remained expressionless. They were princesses of a noble family; what treasures hadn't they seen? Compared to the carefully selected rare treasures in the palace, these seemed far too vulgar.

Xu Jing, on the second floor, glanced down at the scene with a flickering gaze. When her eyes swept over Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi, she keenly caught their expressions. They first seemed surprised, then a meaningful smile appeared on their lips… The true identities of these three beautiful female bosses made her even more eager to know.

Li Jie gave Fei Xue, the head guard, a wink. Fei Xue nodded slightly and went down the stairs, bringing the treasures up to the second floor one by one for Li Jie to inspect.

To ensure their treasures won the selection, the owners of the treasures hurriedly shouted loudly from below.

"My jade bracelet isn't just an heirloom; it's blessed with holy light magic!"

"Mine is a fossilized dragon egg, tens of thousands of years old, and it even contains life energy—it could very well hatch into a dragon pet!"

"My treasure is the Radiant Sun Wand, a relic of the light-elemental mage Hughesman from two hundred years ago!"

"..."

"..."

Yan Xuan stared dumbfounded as Li Jie picked up one treasure after another on the second floor, listening to the descriptions of their treasures by their owners. He secretly exclaimed, "Damn, they're really willing to spend a fortune!" At the beginning, it was about dragon eggs and wands; what will they come up with next? It'll be terrifying!

Finally, Li Jie's gaze lingered on a necklace studded with blood diamonds. The blood-red diamonds on the necklace shimmered with dazzling crimson light under the sunlight, the crimson light flowing across the surface of the necklace as if it might flow out at any moment.

Seeing this, the owner of the Blood Diamond Necklace hurriedly squeezed to the second floor and said, "This is a Blood Diamond Necklace. Everyone knows the function of Blood Diamonds, right? They can replenish blood energy at any time, boosting physical strength. It's an essential item for strengthening the body, especially for men who are lacking in stamina. When using this necklace, you won't have to worry about stamina issues, and you can even have several women in one night!"

Li Jie glanced disdainfully at the guy who was so eager to promote himself and sneered, "The Blood Diamond Necklace can replenish blood energy, but it needs to absorb life force to replenish the Blood Diamonds and maintain their dazzling brilliance. The value of your necklace is only the original value of these Blood Diamonds. As for its function, with the absorption and replenishment, it can basically be ignored!"

The owner of the treasure probably never expected that an elf would be so familiar with his treasure. In fact, what Li Jie said was the secret of this necklace that no one knew. Now that it was revealed, the owner of the treasure turned pale and chuckled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

The merchants were even more alarmed. Several of them, who had already bribed the appraiser, were now extremely disappointed. It seemed this beautiful elven woman possessed profound knowledge of the treasure; it wouldn't be so easy to pass off a fake.

Li Jie's subtle slip of the tongue had a tremendous effect. Even Su Ying and Lin Jiayi, who had always disliked her, had to secretly praise Li Jie's methods.

In the end, Li Jie decided on the treasure for the transaction: a very masculine wristband. The wristband, inlaid with diamonds, was exquisitely crafted. The material was jet black, with tiny scale-like markings on it; both its decoration and materials exuded extraordinary quality.

The owner of the wristband hurriedly said, "This is made from the hardest part of the Swamp Serpent's leather, and the diamonds adorning it are from the Dwarven Hills, considered among the hardest materials on the continent. Furthermore, the arrangement of the diamonds forms a small amplification magic circle..."

He hesitated for a moment before adding, "But the amplification is very small." He had intended to conceal this flaw, but after what had just happened, he decided to tell the truth. Lying to this elven woman seemed pointless, so it was better to appear honest.

Li Jie nodded and turned to instruct, "Give him another ten thousand gold coins as a reward for his honesty!"

It must be said that Li Jie's skill in managing people was indeed impressive; her balanced rewards and punishments had completely quelled the restless thoughts of the merchants.

After the initial minor incident, the trade fair proceeded smoothly and harmoniously.

Faced with the endless stream of treasures, Yan Xuan's eyes never blinked, afraid of missing any even more amazing finds. Watching the treasures dangle before his eyes, he was practically drooling with envy.

The trade fair lasted for most of the day, and no one left the venue. Even the merchants who had completed their transactions remained seated, watching intently. A fair like this was a fantastic opportunity to broaden their horizons, satisfying their curiosity and giving them a crash course in treasures—something far beyond Yan Xuan's reach.

Chapter 121: The Last Treasure

In the fierce competition, time flew by, and before long, evening had fallen.

At this moment, the appraiser walked to the last box and loudly announced, "The last treasure..."

Li Jie suddenly waved her hand, interrupting the appraiser, and walked to the box herself. After scanning the entire room, she slowly said, "Everyone remembers the treasure hunt in the Red Coral Jungle a while ago, right?"

Her words caused a stir among the crowd. That event was known throughout the entire human continent, but treasure hunting had nothing to do with merchants like them. Those who hunted treasures were people with extraordinary skills; they, with their limited strength, could only occasionally inquire about it.

But today, judging from Li Jie's words, this last treasure seemed to be related to the previous treasure hunt. Could it be that the true owner of that treasure was actually the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire?

That didn't make sense. If it really fell into the hands of the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire, they would be keeping it a secret, not bringing it here for some kind of transaction.

According to rumors, the person who obtained that treasure might become the strongest person on the entire continent. Had the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire lost their minds? Would they actually give up such an opportunity to dominate the continent?

Whispers rose and fell, everyone looking at Li Jie with distrust.

When Li Jie uttered those words, Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi trembled violently. Despite their efforts to remain composed, they were shocked by the news.

The treasure hunt had been a thorn in their side. After years of lurking in Yanan City, they hadn't only failed to obtain the treasure, but they hadn't even found a single clue. Although their country hadn't condemned them for this, they felt a deep sense of shame.

They stared intently at Li Jie, silently awaiting her explanation.

Of course, their shock paled in comparison to Yan Xuan's. He was the true possessor of the treasure, and he was even more eager to know what was in the box beside Li Jie. Could it truly be related to the Nine Yang Manual?

Li Jie remained expressionless, letting the murmurs below grow louder and louder until everyone felt the discussion was pointless, stopped the noise, and eagerly looked towards Li Jie, expecting her to reveal the mystery.

Only then did Li Jie slowly open the box. As the lid was untied, a powerful energy gradually appeared in the Desire Tavern. The immense pressure generated by the energy made the ordinary merchants feel suffocated. Regardless of whether this mysterious treasure was truly related to the treasure hunt, the sheer power it displayed at that moment had already proven its value to everyone!

Yan Xuan stared intently at the box, filled with anticipation for the treasure within, just like everyone else. As the lid was opened, the dormant Nine Yang Energy within his body surged wildly as if it had lost control, sweeping through his entire body.

This was the most powerful force he had sensed since acquiring the Nine Yang Energy. Drawn by this power, the Nine Yang Energy surged wildly within Yan Xuan's body, seemingly defiant. A fierce fighting spirit rose within him; he had to fight against it with reason.

Large beads of sweat streamed down Yan Xuan's face as he struggled to suppress the Nine Yang Energy. His rather light work clothes were soaked through, and his chubby face twitched slightly, his complexion flushed red.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was currently drawn to the box beside Li Jie, and no one noticed a half-elf waiter. Otherwise, his obvious transformation would surely have been noticed.

What terrified Yan Xuan most was the tingling, itchy sensation he experienced during his transformation.

Good heavens!

He couldn't imagine the terrible consequences if he transformed into his elven form here, in this public setting.

Yan Xuan desperately suppressed the Nine Yang energy within his body, his teeth grinding, veins bulging on his neck, and his fingers digging into his flesh, drawing a small amount of blood. Fortunately, the pain emanating from his legs kept him conscious, allowing him to barely muster the strength to fight against the out-of-control Nine Yang energy.

Thankfully, his desperate suppression paid off; as the Nine Yang energy gradually adapted to the external energy stimulation, it subsided.

When the Nine Yang energy calmed down, Yan Xuan swayed slightly; if not for the support of the wall beside him, the overwhelming weakness would have caused him to collapse to the ground.

"Everyone thought there was only one treasure unearthed that day, and they were all attracted by the radiant light emitted by the first treasure. They overlooked this one, which our Heavenly Vine Elf Empire discovered the next day when we arrived at the scene. We should thank the person who obtained the first treasure; he attracted everyone's attention, otherwise this treasure wouldn't have been safely left there for us to obtain..." Li Jie said slowly.

Meanwhile, in the Desire Tavern, Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi had all been to the location where the treasure appeared and experienced the chaotic scene of the struggle.

Thinking about it carefully, the radiant light did indeed attract everyone, and almost everyone started fighting for it at the same time. With the later appearance of the Elf Temple, it was basically a free-for-all. Not only would no one have thought that more than one treasure had appeared, but even if someone had, in that situation, they would have been too busy fighting and escaping to wait.

So, while Li Jie's words were somewhat unbelievable, the possibility couldn't be ruled out. The only question now was what Li Jie was thinking. If this was truly a treasure of such great significance, why would they announce it to the world in this way?

Then, Li Jie's words dispelled everyone's mystery…

Li Jie reached into the box, and at that moment, almost everyone held their breath. What appeared before them the next moment?

Oh my god!

Breakdancing gloves!

Yan Xuan's eyes widened so much they almost popped out of their sockets. Looking at the gloves Li Jie held up, he couldn't help but smile wryly. Damn it, after such a frightening prelude, what she pulled out was this ordinary-looking thing. Based on his memories from his previous life, those were clearly breakdancing gloves worn by young dancers in the 1980s to look cool, with half their fingers showing.

The difference is that this glove is far more luxurious than the Thunderbolt Gloves from Yanxuan's past life. Made of some unknown golden material, the glove features monster patterns woven with silver threads. The ferocious silver fangs of the monsters appear lifelike against the golden backdrop, as if they could leap out at any moment to devour their prey.

(Chapter 122: The Magical Energy of the Thunderbolt Gloves)

Li Jie slowly put the gloves on her hands. Surprisingly, after putting them on, the powerful energy suddenly and inexplicably vanished.

Li Jie remained silent, then removed her gloves. The powerful energy instantly filled the Desire Tavern with astonishing force. She then put the gloves back on, and the power vanished. She said, "I think you've all noticed the strangeness, haven't you? This gauntlet-like object possesses incredible energy when it's present, but once worn, it has absolutely no energy—it's weaker than ordinary gauntlets!"

Then, Li Jie smiled faintly and said, "I think everyone must suspect the intentions of our Heavenly Vine Elf Empire, right? Now you should know, based on our judgment, that this treasure must be closely related to, or even subordinate to, the treasure that was previously stolen. Only when the two treasures are together..." "It will only unleash its true power when the time is right! So don't think that our Heavenly Vine Elf Empire is being generous by giving away this treasure, and don't doubt our scheming. We simply hope that this treasure can circulate among everyone, passing on to the previous owner, allowing it to reveal its true value!"

These words sounded grand and righteous, but the shrewd merchants, along with Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi, immediately guessed Li Jie's true intentions. She was simply using these people to spread news of the treasure, letting the previous owner know that whoever knew their treasure also had this accessory would likely be tempted and want to possess it.

It was a trap!

Li Jie had seized upon human greed and insatiable desires to lure the previous owner here!

As for why Li Jie waited so long after the treasure hunt to make this move, firstly, the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire might have used this time to carefully study the glove; secondly, they were no longer intimidated by the legend of the world's strongest person. If that legend were true, the treasure's owner would have already caused a sensation across the continent. However, the owner seemed to have vanished without a trace, which could only mean either the legend was false, or the owner needed time to use the treasure to become the continent's strongest.

However, neither Li Jie nor Tang Jing and the others could have imagined that the person who obtained the treasure was currently in the Desire Tavern, right in front of them.

In fact, Yan Xuan had already begun considering how to get his hands on this "Thunderbolt Glove."

He was intensely curious about what effect the glove would have on his hands…

Unlike before, when Li Jie took out this last treasure, no one eagerly offered their own treasures in exchange. Although their treasures were valuable, no one dared to be confident that their treasures were enough to exchange for this strange glove.

The world's strongest!

What does that mean? Can it be measured in money?

Li Jie's lips curled into a cold smile. She was quite satisfied with everyone's performance. Taking out the gloves was just a pretense, a bait. She had no intention of actually exchanging them!

A long-lost tranquility descended upon the Desire Tavern. Merchants exchanged bewildered glances, silent.

Meanwhile, the residents of Yarnan City, who had been crowding outside, eager to witness the spectacle, whispered amongst themselves.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from outside: "Make way! Make way! I want to trade!"

The Desire Tavern erupted in chaos as everyone turned to look.

There stood the same fat merchant who had been thrown out by the elven warrior earlier, shouting loudly as he pushed his way in.

In fact, he had been trying for a long time, but unfortunately, none of the onlookers had given him the time of day. He had been shouting for ages, but the commotion inside had kept him quiet. If the scene hadn't suddenly fallen silent, he probably could have shouted himself hoarse without anyone noticing. The residents of

Yarnan City loved excitement; earlier, fearing they might miss some new and exciting treasure, no one had made way for the fat man.

But now things were different. The fat man was shouting for a trade—what could he possibly offer in exchange for this treasure? Could his treasure really be that valuable?

Driven by curiosity, people made way for the fat man, who easily entered the Desire Tavern.

Once inside, the fat merchant wiped the sweat from his brow. The elven warrior's shove had nearly knocked him unconscious; his clothes were covered in mud and tattered, and the dirt on his face mixed with sweat, making him look like a clown.

Despite this comical scene, no one laughed. They were all waiting to see what astonishing treasure the fat merchant would produce.

"You son of a bitch, you almost killed me! Damn it, I came here to make a fortune, and you won't even let me trade! Watch out or I'll fight you to the death! What do you want to trade now? I want to trade, I can't have come all this way for nothing!"

This guy had been squeezing in outside for ages and had no idea what was going on inside. After muttering his curses, he looked at the "Thunderbolt Gloves" in Li Jie's hand upstairs and immediately showed a disappointed expression. He cursed, "You son of a bitch, all you know how to do is bully me! You threw me out, and you've traded all the good stuff. What is this piece of junk left? Damn it, I can't have come all this way for nothing! Tell me, what kind of treasure is this? I have to get my hands on it!"

Everyone in the Desire Restaurant stared blankly at the fat merchant for a moment, then burst into laughter.

The fat merchant, his face flushed, roared, "You little bastard, what are you laughing at? Do you think I'm some kind of country bumpkin? I have treasures too, and mine are better than yours!"

When everyone's cheeks ached from laughing so much and their stomachs hurt, they had no choice but to stop, each looking at the fat merchant with mockery.

Li Jie smiled disdainfully and said, "Sir, what is your treasure? I'd like to see how you're so confident!"

The fat merchant looked at Li Jie defiantly, unbuttoned his clothes, reached into his underwear and rummaged for a while, pulling out a small package. He then opened the package layer upon layer, revealing a small, milky-white, warm jade-like ring.

This ring was smaller than a bracelet and thinner than a typical bracelet, but the material it was made of seemed quite fine. The halo emanating from the ring's surface was very pleasing to the eye.

However, it was merely aesthetically pleasing; there was nothing particularly remarkable about it.

Chapter 123: The Mysterious Treasure

. Shh!

A chorus of boos and jeers erupted.

Li Jie smiled and said, "Sir, are you going to exchange this with me?"

"You son of a bitch, of course I'm exchanging it! Do you need a husband and want me to trade you a person?" The fat merchant seemed to have forgotten the feeling of being thrown out by the elven warrior, his foul mouth spewing profanities.

The Snowflake Guard Captain's face turned cold, and he gave a wink to the elven warrior beside him.

The elven warrior, who had been harboring anger, walked downstairs with an icy expression. The fat merchant saw this and subconsciously trembled, shrinking back and saying in a blustering tone, "You son of a bitch, you want to hit me? Are you being unreasonable? I'm not afraid!"

He said he wasn't afraid, but his face was deathly pale with fear.

Li Jie waved her hand, stopping the elven warrior, and sneered, "To be fair, you first introduce your so-called treasure, and then I'll introduce mine. You can decide for yourself whether the exchange is suitable!"

Seeing the danger averted, the fat merchant immediately straightened his neck, raised the ring in his hand, and shouted, "You little bastard, my treasure is called the Chastity Ring!"

"Chastity Ring?"

"Chastity Ring!"

The more knowledgeable merchants were initially stunned, then burst into laughter.

This time, the laughter wasn't because the fat merchant's Chastity Ring was worthless; on the contrary, it was extremely valuable in human territory, practically priceless. But using it to exchange for the "Thunderbolt Gloves" was really a bit much!

Those who have heard of the Chastity Ring know that this treasure was created over a thousand years ago by Da Nian Zhang, the greatest and most lewd alchemist in humankind. In fact, its value is only truly appreciated among nobles who indulge in lust and even sadomasochistic practices.

Its function lies in using virgin blood to activate the magic spell on the ring. The ring then attaches itself to the virgin's genitals and seals them with a strange magic—essentially acting as a chastity belt. However, its magic lies in the fact that the ring can be unlocked at the caster's will, preventing anyone but the caster from accessing the woman's body.

Furthermore, over the millennia, countless alchemists have attempted to break the spell on the ring, but none have succeeded. This undeniably demonstrates that Da Nian Zhang's alchemy reached a pinnacle, a height that later generations can only admire but never surpass.

Through the use of generations of nobles, the Chastity Ring had become a supreme treasure among tools for training women. Over time, most of the ten Chastity Rings crafted by Da Nian Zhang were lost. According to folk tales, only the former tyrant of the Garo Human Empire, the Scorpion King, once possessed one; others likely only exist in legends.

Today, seeing the Chastity Ring in its true form here again is undeniably surprising. However, using such a lewd treasure to trade with the self-proclaimed noble and holy Great Elves, and even daring to claim he wanted to exchange it for the most valuable "Thunderbolt Gloves," is no wonder everyone laughs at this fat merchant's ignorance.

Compared to the lustful and greedy desires of some humans, the Great Elves, who revere purity and perfection, clearly disdain such things.

Although Li Jie spoke fluently and knowledgeably about other treasures, the look of confusion on her pretty face when she heard the name of the Chastity Ring indicated that she was unaware of its origins and uses.

A merchant who had previously successfully completed a transaction and gained a great advantage in it, seeing this, volunteered to stand up and recount the origin and function of the chastity ring in one breath. To make his description more vivid, he added all the legends he knew.

You see, such a lewd tool as the chastity ring inevitably evoked erotic and sadistic tales. Leaving aside some of the Great Elves, even Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi, three humans from the royal palace who were already familiar with such lewd matters, blushed and secretly cursed the pervert.

It must be said that this guy was a real waste of his talent as a merchant. With his eloquence, he could easily have been a successful bard. His narration was a flurry of words, his spittle flying, his gestures animated, and the merchants listening intently were practically drooling, their eyes gleaming with lust.

If Li Jie hadn't become increasingly disgusted and abruptly interrupted him, he probably would have treated this as his personal storytelling session, giving it his all. As

the guy sat down, still seemingly unsatisfied, the Snowfall Guard Captain, her face flushed and eyes flashing with malice, headed downstairs towards the fat merchant, the owner of the Chastity Ring. It seemed she already considered his actions a deliberate trampling of the Great Elf race's dignity and a defilement of their noble purity.

The murderous aura emanating from the Snowfall Guard Captain's every step created a chilling pressure on everyone, instantly making the atmosphere in the hall heavy and oppressive, almost suffocating.

But the fat merchant, acting like a complete idiot, seemed utterly oblivious to the situation, and smugly shouted, "How about it? You son of a bitch, isn't this treasure enough to exchange for that piece of junk?"

"You have violated the dignity of our Great Elf race and must pay the price!" Captain Flying Snow walked up to the fat merchant and said in an icy tone.

The fat merchant laughed loudly, saying, "Little wench, have you taken a fancy to me? Being so close to me? Why don't I take a loss and use my treasure to take you home? Don't let my size fool you, I'm still quite agile in bed. Back home, everyone within hundreds of miles knows I'm the Little Tyrant of the Bed!"

Before he finished speaking, his massive body flew up again. As he was thrown towards the door, a bone-chilling cold air instantly filled the Desire Tavern. His enormous body actually condensed into a thick layer of frost in mid-air; if he landed outside like that, he would most likely shatter into pieces.

Fortunately, the Flying Snow Guard Captain seemed unwilling to kill him so easily, using just the right amount of force. When his body landed on the street, it stood firmly in the middle of the street, gleaming in the sunlight like a strangely shaped ice sculpture.

In Chapter 124, the Chastity Curse Ring,

the head guard, coldly surveyed the merchants and said in a low voice, "He will use his life to atone for his mistakes. His actions have tainted our holy Great Elf race. Does anyone have any objections?"

Damn it!

These merchants were complete strangers. Even those who had some connections were based on mutual benefit. They believed in the principle of "minding one's own business and not worrying about others." Under these circumstances, only a fool would be foolish enough to stand up for themselves. However, they hadn't expected the Great Elves to act so suddenly, and this idiot fat man went out without bodyguards—serves him right.

Captain Feixue was clearly pleased with the tense atmosphere she had created. Turning to look at Li Jie, who nodded approvingly, she boldly declared, "To serve as a warning to others and uphold the authority of our Heavenly Vine Elf race, we will punish this shameless offender, cleanse his soul, and publicly destroy this defiled chastity ring!" With that

, Captain Feixue gave a signal to the elven warriors upstairs. The two warriors entered the fat merchant's ice sculpture, took it upstairs, and Captain Feixue placed the chastity ring in a prominent position.

It seemed she was truly going to destroy the chastity ring. Everyone looked regretful, but no one objected. After all, it wasn't theirs, so what business was it of theirs? At least there was some excitement to watch!

The one who felt the most regret was Yanxuan. Ever since he heard about the wondrous uses of the chastity ring and those erotic and sadistic stories, his mind had become restless.

"Damn it, this is an absolute treasure!

It's far superior to things like chastity belts. Chastity belts can be pried open, but this chastity ring can't be opened by anyone other than the user. Leaving aside its immense effectiveness in training women, its very function is an absolute must-have to prevent being cuckolded!"

Yan Xuan's eyes began to secretly linger on Lin Jiayi. Lin Jiayi, focused on the trade fair, had no idea of Yan Xuan's wicked schemes.

He glanced at the side of Lin Jiayi's pert breasts and her full, plump buttocks, imagining himself possessing the chastity ring and using it on Lin Jiayi. What would Lin Jiayi be like, burning with desire but unable to release it?

When she couldn't bear it any longer, would she completely succumb to lust? And Yan Xuan's biggest headache was controlling this woman; he absolutely didn't believe she would let him off easily!

As he pondered, a wicked smile crept across Yan Xuan's lips. He even imagined Lin Jiayi kneeling naked, begging him for mercy…

The special function of the Chastity Ring sparked Yan Xuan's desire to possess it. He began to consider that buying it was out of the question, so the only options were to steal or rob it. What kind of opportunity should he seek?

His mind racing with wild thoughts, Yan Xuan racked his brains to possess the Chastity Ring. When he heard the words of the Flying Snow Guard Captain that the Chastity Ring would be destroyed in public, his spirits plummeted. In his extreme disappointment, he even considered snatching it from the crowd, but it remained just a thought. If such a crazy idea were to be acted upon, the consequences would be unimaginable…

Yan Xuan suppressed his impulse, watching as a dazzling white beam of light erupted from the Flying Snow Guard Captain's palm. Then, with a slight movement of her other hand, the Chastity Ring on the table rose slowly, as if supported by a hand below, suspended in mid-air.

*Snap...*

The white light in Captain Feixue's palm spread out, enveloping the Chastity Ring. Then, the white light instantly shrank, tightly enveloping the Chastity Ring, and its brilliance intensified, illuminating every corner of the Desire Tavern like a small sun!

*Buzzing...*

A faint sound emanated from the Chastity Ring. Though quiet, it possessed immense penetrating power. Most of the merchants present frowned, their faces showing unbearable pain.

When Yanxuan's eyes adjusted to the white light, he could vaguely see the Chastity Ring vibrating incessantly, seemingly struggling to break free from its grasp.

Captain Feixue's expression darkened. She had assumed that destroying the Chastity Ring with her magical power would be effortless.

But after so long, not only was the Chastity Ring unharmed, she was starting to feel the strain. No one else knew that Captain Feixue also had her own unspeakable troubles. In the radiant light of her soul-cleansing magic, the vibrations of the Chastity Ring appeared minuscule, but in reality, every vibration generated a strange power, corroding her magical radiance.

Most terrifyingly, the Chastity Ring seemed to be unknowingly transmitting a strange consciousness into her body. This strange consciousness gave her an unprecedented tingling and numb sensation, and vaguely formed lewd images in her mind: naked men abusing naked women…

The savage laughter, the groans of women being abused, the screams of being violated, the long, drawn-out cries of orgasm—all gradually became clearer in her mind.

These chaotic and lewd scenes made Captain Feixue tremble even more violently. She was now in a dilemma. Even if she wanted to withdraw the magical light, she could not do so. The chastity ring was like a lustful ghost that had not been nourished by a woman for countless years. When it sensed Captain Feixue's feminine yin energy, it generated a strange suction force.

Everyone watched silently as the chastity ring shone brightly in the white light, anticipating what would happen when it was destroyed. This would be their bragging rights later, when they could say, "Have you ever seen a chastity ring? No? I've not only seen it, but I've also witnessed its destruction..."

At this moment, no one noticed the expression on Captain Feixue's face. The color drained from her face, turning deathly pale.

When her body swayed under the intense power of weakness, Li Jie realized something had changed.

Without Li Jie chanting any incantation, a beam of blue light, like a crossbow bolt, shot from her fingertip. Its powerful force shattered the white light, carrying the chastity ring a considerable distance before it clattered to the ground. The expression

on

the head guard's face softened slightly, his complexion becoming somewhat flushed. After a moment, he whispered something in Li Jie's ear, still shaken.

Li Jie's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Put that evil thing away, take it back to the temple, and let the holy light destroy it..."

An elven warrior quickly stepped into the Chastity Ring, picked it up, and presented it to Li Jie with both hands.

Li Jie took the Chastity Ring and casually tossed it into the box containing the "Thunderbolt Gloves." Then, facing the merchants downstairs, she said, "Today's treasure trade fair is adjourned for now. As for this final treasure, either you find something you believe matches its value to trade, or you spread the word to your human world. If the person who obtained the previous treasure comes, this glove will be given to them for free. After all, the treasure only shows its true value in its own hands, and our Heavenly Vine Elf Empire is happy to do this favor!"

In short, her purpose couldn't be clearer: she hoped to use the "Thunderbolt Gloves" to lure out the treasure's owner. As for how to win them over, Li Jie probably already had a plan. Even if she couldn't win over the treasure's owner, such a huge favor would surely bring a corresponding reward.

Just think, a future strongest person on the continent owed them a tremendous favor—that would definitely bring them a satisfactory return.

The merchants gradually left the Desire Tavern, and after a while, the main hall was deserted.

However, Li Jie and her group from the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire, who were on the second floor, seemed to have no intention of leaving. Instead, they tidied up the boxes containing treasures and properly arranged the items they had acquired in the exchange. Then, they sat comfortably in their chairs, leisurely drinking tea.

As for the man outside who had been turned into an "ice sculpture," he was displayed on the street like an exhibit, allowing passersby to curiously scrutinize him. Having been frozen for so long, he probably wouldn't survive without some kind of soul cleansing.

Li Jie and Xu Jing sat at a table and whispered for a while. Then, Li Jie handed a heavy money bag to Xu Jing, who smiled and put it away. She then called out, "Yan Xuan, get us some wine..."

Yan Xuan, who was standing downstairs, hurriedly nodded and turned to go to the backyard to get them some wine.

Tang Jing, who was behind the bar, suddenly shouted, "Yan Xuan, stop!"

Yan Xuan stopped abruptly, looking at Tang Jing with a puzzled expression, but secretly chuckled to himself, thinking that this female tyrant had finally lost her temper.

Upstairs, Li Jie seemed to have anticipated this situation. She stood up and smiled, saying, "Three beautiful bosses, we meet again! I told you, we would definitely meet!"

Tang Jing's face darkened, and she said coldly, "I'm sorry, we also said we didn't want to see you again! If we had known you would be here today, the Desire Restaurant would never have been rented to you!"

Li Jie seemed to be deliberately trying to provoke Tang Jing, and said with a smile, "But you still rented it, didn't you?"

Tang Jing retorted angrily, "You! It seems you did this on purpose. At least you have the self-awareness to know we dislike you, yet you pretended to have someone else come here to talk to us!"

Li Jie glanced at Tang Jing and sneered, "You seem to think too highly of yourself. I just wanted to make my appearance more interesting, not deliberately avoid you as you think. Me, the dignified head guard of the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire, avoiding you? What a joke!"

Tang Jing was immediately speechless. She couldn't very well say, "I'm also a princess of the Human Empire!" Saying such things would undoubtedly expose her identity. Although Tang Jing had a fiery temper, she still retained some rationality in important matters; otherwise, she wouldn't have taken on a mission like hiding in Yanan City.

Li Jie smiled smugly, then walked to Xu Jing's side and whispered something. Xu Jing, looking embarrassed, walked down the stairs to the bar and said softly, "Miss Su Ying, can I discuss something with you?"

Su Ying looked at Xu Jing with suspicion, nodded, and said, "What do you want to say? Just say it."

Xu Jing's face was very embarrassed at this moment, clearly showing that she was a woman with thin skin who was very embarrassed to speak. This made Yan Xuan secretly admire Xu Jing's acting skills. It's no exaggeration to say that even if Yan Xuan dared to expose Xu Jing's true colors to anyone at this moment, probably no one would believe him.

Su Ying smiled and said, "Miss Xu Jing, please feel free to speak up. We're friends, aren't we?"

A barely perceptible smile flashed across Xu Jing's lowered face as she looked up and murmured, "It seems you and Lady Li Jie have known each other for a long time?"

Su Ying nodded without speaking.

Xu Jing continued, "I'm sorry, I really didn't know any of this. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have signed that performance contract with them. You know, it's very difficult for a circus like ours to earn such a large sum of money..."

The sadness in Xu Jing's voice and the helplessness in her expression stirred a wave of sympathy in the usually kind-hearted Su Ying. She stepped out from behind the bar, gently patted Xu Jing's shoulder, and said softly, "Miss Xu Jing, don't think too much about it. We understand you. This isn't your fault. If I were you, I would have done the same."

"But..." Xu Jing hesitated, looking at Su Ying.

Su Ying smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

"But there's a clause in our contract that says I have to give them half of the rooms I rented while they're in Yanan City..." Xu Jing said softly. Yan Xuan

chuckled inwardly. He wondered why Li Jie wanted to stay at the Desire Restaurant, and what puzzled him even more was that Xu Jing seemed to be deliberately arranging for Li Jie to stay there, as if she wanted to stir things up. Li Jie had already booked a month's worth of rooms at the Desire Restaurant after arriving in Yanan City.

And now, only half a month had passed, meaning that for another half month, those rooms belonged to Xu Jing.

In fact, according to the Desire Restaurant's room policy, Xu Jing didn't need to tell Su Ying and the others this way; she could have simply made the decision on her own and politely informed them casually.

In Yan Xuan's view, the reason she spoke with such a humble and apologetic expression was simply to project an innocent facade. This way, even if something went wrong in the future, no one would suspect her, allowing her to secretly do other things. Besides, with this attitude, even someone as hot-tempered as Tang Jing, who utterly disliked Li Jie, probably wouldn't dare to make things difficult for her anymore, let alone Su Ying.

(Chapter 126: The Potential to Be a Lecher)

Indeed, after Xu Jing finished speaking, Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi's faces all darkened.

Although Su Ying's expression was very unpleasant, she still secretly tugged at Tang Jing's sleeve, reminding her not to act impulsively.

Tang Jing's eyes reddened with anger. She glared at Xu Jing fiercely, then turned to look at Li Jie with icy eyes. Li Jie completely ignored her, pretending to laugh and chat with the Feixue guard as they looked at the treasures in the box.

Lin Jiayi, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up and said calmly, "Then that's the only way. But I hope they will abide by the rules of our Desire Restaurant while they are there."

Xu Jing was overjoyed and hurriedly nodded, saying, "Of course, don't worry. I've already put you in such a difficult position, so I will naturally remind Lady Li Jie to abide by the restaurant's rules."

Lin Jiayi said calmly to Su Ying, "Sister Su Ying, I'm not feeling well. I'll go to my room to rest first. You can make the decisions about these things, okay?"

Su Ying asked with concern, "Sister Lin Jiayi, are you really alright?"

Lin Jiayi forced a smile and said, "I'm really fine. I'll rest a bit more today, and I think I'll be fine. You don't need to worry about me." After saying that, she turned and walked upstairs. As soon as she stepped onto the stairs, her steps faltered slightly, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

Yan Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Only he truly understood Lin Jiayi's current state. Her staggering earlier was likely due to the intense intensity of their deflowering the previous night. Watching Lin Jiayi's deliberate swaying as she walked to avoid pain, her full, pert buttocks and the glimpses of her snow-white legs peeking through the slit of her gauze skirt, the

sensual and alluring scenes of the previous night inevitably surfaced in Yan Xuan's mind. A surge of heat rose instantly in his lower abdomen, and his lower body began to stir with desire.

Yan Xuan let out a long sigh, but his eyes couldn't bear to leave Lin Jiayi's disappearing figure. The desire surging within him seemed uncontrollable. No wonder; the thrill of humiliation was far more alluring than ordinary sex.

Driven by desire, an extremely bold idea suddenly surfaced in Yan Xuan's mind, and once it appeared, it immediately became unstoppable.

Yan Xuan suddenly stepped forward, bowed to Su Ying, and said, "Miss Su Ying, then... then I'll go upstairs and clean the rooms first?"

"You're quite eager!" Tang Jing glared at her curiously.

Su Ying looked at Tang Jing, then at Xu Jing, and nodded helplessly, saying, "Miss Xu Jing, which guest rooms do you want to allocate to them?"

"Oh, just rooms one, two, and three are fine. I only promised to give them three guest rooms, otherwise we'll have nowhere to stay," Xu Jing said hurriedly.

Su Ying nodded and said to Yan Xuan, "Go upstairs and clean them thoroughly, and also tidy up Miss Xu Jing's room."

Yan Xuan nodded hurriedly, trying to suppress his excitement, and walked up the stairs with a normal gait.

Lin Jiayi seemed lost and dejected, her mind preoccupied. After entering the room, she didn't even close the door properly, just leaving it slightly ajar.

Standing at Lin Jiayi's door, inhaling the faint, sweet fragrance wafting from the crack, the subtle scent of Lin Jiayi's delicate body, Yan Xuan's excitement grew even stronger. Her

rapid breathing alerted Lin Jiayi inside, who coldly demanded, "Who is it!"

Yan Xuan quickly pushed open the door, turned, and slammed it shut behind him, chuckling, "It's me..."

Lin Jiayi's face instantly turned deathly pale, her eyes filled with anger, but even more so with panic...

Yan Xuan slowly approached, his smile deepening. He loved this awesome feeling, watching Lin Jiayi's body gradually retreat to the wall as he drew near, her face radiating utter terror and fear—this was incredibly thrilling for Yan Xuan.

His lustful gaze roamed freely over Lin Jiayi's voluptuous body. At this moment, the gauze dress Lin Jiayi wore was utterly useless in Yan Xuan's eyes; his mind was vividly filled with the image of her fair, jade-like body from the previous night, and the plump, round buttocks that made his nose bleed.

"You...get out...get out!" It seemed Lin Jiayi was deeply afraid of Yan Xuan. At least until she figured out a solution, she didn't dare to provoke him, and she didn't even dare to go too far with her words.

Yan Xuan secretly gloated, appearing quite nonchalant. After all, he had nothing to lose; in the eyes of these noble people, his life was worthless. Besides, a great and noble princess was willing to sacrifice her chastity for a little honor—what was this? With a half-closed eye and a wicked grin, Yan Xuan said, "Beautiful and noble Miss Lin Jiayi, have you forgotten the wonderful things we did together?"

As he moved, Yan Xuan's mouth gushed forth provocative words. These blatant threats made Lin Jiayi tremble slightly, her panic intensifying. She leaned tightly against the wall, repeatedly saying, "No...please stop..."

"Hehe, Miss Lin Jiayi, have you really forgotten the feeling I gave you last night? Don't you want to savor it again?" Yan Xuan licked his lips lewdly. The fat man was surprised himself; he could utter such lewd words so easily, as if he had been a lecher in a past life. Perhaps, environment changes people.

"Devil! You...you said that after last night, you wouldn't bother me anymore, that nothing would have happened!" Lin Jiayi's tone was sharp, but her eyes betrayed a weak plea.

Yan Xuan laughed and said, "You called me a devil, so do you think a devil's words are trustworthy? Hehe, last night I did it so I could enjoy your beautiful body, but today I'm doing it for you!"

Yan Xuan's words became even more lewd and explicit, and he even admired himself inwardly, thinking, "Damn it, I really admire myself. I definitely have the potential to be a lecher..."

(Chapter 127: Hoping for a Better Next Time)

Lin Jiayi's pale, beautiful face flushed slightly. Undeniably, Lin Jiayi's body had little resistance to lust. Although she loathed Yan Xuan and felt nauseous at his words, her mind uncontrollably recalled last night, and her body irresistibly longed for that unprecedented peak of pleasure.

Yan Xuan pressed his advantage, continuing, "Miss Lin Jiayi, are you shy? My God, no way! You're still trembling, is it because of fear? Or because of desire?"

"Don't say...don't say..." Lin Jiayi covered her ears, her body curling up slightly in the corner. God! What's wrong with me! Those devil's words actually caused a glimmer of something in that most secret place…

Just as Lin Jiayi's emotions began to falter, Yan Xuan leaped forward, grabbing her soft waist. His hand flashed to her ample breasts, two fingers precisely pinching the nipple, gently squeezing it.

Caught off guard by this sudden attack, Lin Jiayi instinctively let out a groan, trying to resist, but half her body was already numb.

Yan Xuan's hands continued their relentless teasing and arousal, his breath hot against Lin Jiayi's ear as he whispered, "You see, you like this feeling, don't you?" With that, he forcefully pressed Lin Jiayi against the wall, rubbing his lower abdomen against her plump, soft buttocks. He quickly thrust one leg between her legs, lifting it to lightly touch her groin with his knee…

Just moments before, stimulated by Yan Xuan's words, Lin Jiayi's body had already rebelled, reacting against her reason. Now, combined with Yan Xuan's actions, she had lost the ability to resist. The limp, powerless feeling made every struggle seem less like resistance and more like submission… Holy crap!

This feels amazing!

Yan Xuan's large hands gripped Lin Jiayi's full breasts tightly, using his arms to encircle her and his body strength to control her struggles within a limited area.

After a period of physical contact, Yan Xuan's lower body became engorged and swollen, his erection pressing firmly between Lin Jiayi's legs.

The sensation of his erect penis pressing against her buttocks, even through her clothes, still sent a clear, penetrating heat through the folds of her buttocks. Stimulated by this slight heat, Lin Jiayi's body felt as if she had been electrocuted, letting out a soft moan as she tensed up, trying to press herself against the wall, attempting to distance herself from that hard object.

However, she had clearly forgotten that Yan Xuan's hands were still holding her breasts. Her attempts to squeeze were less about avoiding and more about deliberately pressing her breasts against Yan Xuan's hands. Her breasts changed into various erotic shapes between Yan Xuan's fingers, and under this forceful kneading, Lin Jiayi's body defenses were on the verge of collapse.

Taking advantage of the situation, Yan Xuan pulled his leg out from between Lin Jiayi's legs and quickly pushed his erection upwards!

With no obstruction between her legs, Lin Jiayi instinctively squeezed her legs tightly together, but this only intensified Yan Xuan's pleasure. Especially after Lin Jiayi squeezed her legs together, Yan Xuan thrust hard, and the erection was already pressing against the entrance to her vagina. Even through two layers of clothing, Yan Xuan could feel the warm, damp scent.

The intrusion of the hard object made Lin Jiayi even more flustered, but afraid of making too much noise and being heard by others, she could only bite her lips and make a futile struggle for Yan Xuan.

Lin Jiayi's tightly squeezed legs and her futile twisting undoubtedly gave Yan Xuan immense pleasure. In an instant, he was breathing rapidly, and his lower body thrust forcefully, even through the clothes, he kept pounding.

In this situation, Yanxuan desperately wanted to lift Lin Jiayi's skirt and have a real fight, but he didn't have the time to do so. The current position was already quite alluring, and if Lin Jiayi were to break free while he was making his move, it would be a huge loss.

However, this half-hearted attempt was incredibly painful. After hesitating for a moment, Yanxuan forcefully pulled one hand away, using his other hand and body strength to control Lin Jiayi's body as much as possible. His freed hand then moved to lift Lin Jiayi's skirt.

Sure enough, Lin Jiayi noticed Yanxuan's intention and struggled with her last remaining strength, simultaneously straightening her body and clamping her legs tightly around her skirt, afraid that Yanxuan would succeed.

In utter desperation, Yan Xuan simply unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his monstrous, engorged member, and forcefully thrust it between Lin Jiayi's legs, rubbing and pumping against her buttocks...

"Miss Lin Jiayi... do you really want me to go in?" Yan Xuan tried to break down Lin Jiayi's resistance with words, but Lin Jiayi seemed determined not to let Yan Xuan succeed. She bit her lip tightly, a trace of blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, using the pain to awaken her reason and fight against the overwhelming desire.

Unable to succeed, Yan Xuan felt incredibly frustrated and anxious amidst his rising desire. He simply rubbed Lin Jiayi's full breasts forcefully, using her legs and soft buttocks to obtain pleasure. Although he couldn't actually penetrate her, it was a unique kind of stimulation; Lin Jiayi's long, smooth, beautiful legs were simply amazing.

As Yan Xuan rubbed and rubbed her genitals, Lin Jiayi couldn't help but moan softly. Every time her body began to relax in the throes of desire, she would bite her lip hard, managing to hold on.

...

Although Yan Xuan wasn't entirely satisfied with this release, he was quite pleased with the effect.

He rubbed his genitals against her gauze skirt, then squeezed Lin Jiayi's taut buttocks before releasing her and starting to straighten his clothes.

"Miss Lin Jiayi, I hope next time will be even better than this. Hmm, thank you for the pleasure your body has brought me. And thank you even more for your skirt..." Yan Xuan smiled smugly, then turned and left the room without looking back.

He had lingered a bit too long; he had to leave immediately and quickly clean the rooms, at least leaving some trace of cleaning.

After Yan Xuan left, Lin Jiayi's body seemed to go boneless, sliding down the wall and sitting limply on the floor. Her flushed face was filled with complex emotions. Just moments ago, she had countless opportunities to blast this despicable and evil fat man to dust, but... countless hesitations resulted in yet another humiliation.

(Chapter 128)

Driven by intense desire, Yan Xuan entered each guest room, quickly using his cleaning tools to create a superficial clean. His goal wasn't true cleanliness, but merely to make it appear as if the room had been cleaned.

Entering Xu Jing's room, while cleaning, he found a black object on the bedside table. Curious, he pulled it out and was surprised to see it was a semi-transparent, sexy pair of panties covering her genitals. Yan Xuan couldn't help but chuckle coldly; he hadn't expected Xu Jing to be such a repressed slut. Before

Yan Xuan could even put the panties down, he heard a series of noisy footsteps in the hallway. It was likely that the people waiting downstairs had grown impatient and come up first. As

Yan Xuan hurriedly stuffed his underpants back onto the bedside table, the door opened, and Xu Jing stood in the doorway. When she saw the mess beside the bed, she immediately realized what was happening, her face flushed red, and she walked in with icy eyes.

If Tang Jing hadn't suddenly appeared, Yan Xuan probably wouldn't have escaped a beating.

Tang Jing stood in the doorway, giving Xu Jing a disgusted look, and angrily scolded Yan Xuan, "Hurry up and clean! Let me tell you! If the living room isn't cleaned up, you're not sleeping tonight!"

Yan Xuan nodded hastily, secretly relieved. Without even glancing at Xu Jing, he quickly tidied the bedside table, then turned and fled.

Passing by Lin Jiayi's room, Yan Xuan saw Lin Jiayi sitting at the table, while Su Ying sat beside her, saying something with concern.

Yan Xuan couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. It seemed Lin Jiayi hadn't had time to change out of the gauze dress that had already been tainted by the misunderstanding. To avoid being discovered by Su Ying, she could only sit there, preventing Su Ying from seeing her bottom.

Thinking of this, Yan Xuan suddenly had a mischievous thought. He coughed loudly a few times, and then, when Lin Jiayi subconsciously turned to look in his direction, he met her gaze with a very ambiguous look. Lin Jiayi's face immediately changed, and she quickly turned her head away, avoiding eye contact with Yan Xuan.

Su Ying, however, saw Yan Xuan and shouted, "Yan Xuan, have you finished your work?"

Yan Xuan hurriedly bowed and said, "The room has been cleaned. Miss Tang Jing instructed me to clean the hall..."

"Then hurry up and go!" Su Ying snapped.

Yan Xuan nodded and quickly walked downstairs. Because he was walking too fast, he almost bumped into the group from the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire who were coming upstairs.

楼梯上，几个精灵武士一个一个的搬运着那些装满宝物的箱子，而飞雪侍卫长和李婕则走在最后，低声议论着什么。

当一个精灵武士提着那个装着”霹雳手套”和贞节咒环的箱子走过琰轩身边的时候，琰轩刻意的偷偷看了看他们将箱子搬运到了哪个房间。

事实上，琰轩与那个什么”霹雳手套”并没有多大兴趣，神出鬼没的九阳能量已经让他深恶痛疾，因为那九阳能量导致他英雄不成反被揍成狗熊的事情一直令他心有余悸。

What truly interested him was the magical chastity ring. Recalling the merchant's stories about its uses and legends during the day, coupled with his imagined scenario of using the ring to completely conquer Lin Jiayi, he wasn't stupid. He naturally saw the ruthlessness flashing in Lin Jiayi's eyes. Given the chance, this girl would absolutely tear him to pieces and make him into a specimen without hesitation. That's why he was even more reckless. It was a gamble with his life anyway, but living was better than nothing. Besides, he had just begun to experience the joys of life, which only fueled his desire to possess the chastity ring…

But how could he achieve this?

While cleaning the hall, Yan Xuan absentmindedly knocked over several chairs. Finally, he simply sat down and racked his brains. To be honest, since arriving in this world, this was the first time he had felt such a strong desire for something…

In Yarnan City, there was a long street that ran through the entire city. One side of this street led to the elven territory, and the other side led to the human territory.

In the pitch-black night, countless figures, swift as ghosts, streaked across the sky. In the center of Mandala Square, a graceful figure raised her hands high, then with a sudden, sweeping motion, she brought them down…

The countless figures split into two groups with perfect coordination: one darted towards the path leading to the human territory, while the other shot towards the path leading to the elven territory.

The graceful figure lightly waved her arms, and a powerful and eerie energy emanated from her, spreading outwards. This energy, denser than the night itself, rippled like ink in the pale moonlight, reaching every corner of Yharnam City.

Suddenly, the graceful figure swayed violently, letting out a series of rapid breaths before coughing violently.

After a long while, she straightened up and continued her unfinished movements.

In the sky, a thick black mist appeared, slowly devouring the moonlight and starlight. The instant the moonlight was completely obscured by the black mist, the graceful figure suddenly raised her head, revealing a pale and exquisitely beautiful face—it was none other than the night elf Yana!

As Yana cast her night elf spell, creating a dark barrier for the entire city of Yanan, a slight sound came from the carpenter's shop located on a corner of a narrow street in Yanan. A moment later, the door opened, and the elf Monrek stood in the doorway. The starlight and moonlight had vanished, but Monrek's eyes gleamed with an eerie light. His expression was excited yet hesitant. After a while, Monrek's body twisted slightly, and he instantly disappeared into the darkness.

After using the last of her energy to complete the Dark Night Barrier, Yana could still stand, but she swayed like a leaf in the wind, her breathing heavy and rapid. A streak of bright red blood at the corner of her mouth stood out starkly against her pale face.

Suddenly, the space around her distorted.

"Monrek, you still came..." Yana said softly without looking at him, and before she finished speaking, she had already steadied herself and, in a flash, wiped away the blood with her sleeve.

"Yana...you..." Monrek stepped forward to support Yana, but she gently twisted away from him.

A hint of resentment flashed across Monrek's handsome face as he said in a deep voice, "Why did you use the Dark Barrier and summon all the warriors of your tribe?"

Yana turned around, sneering, "What right do you have to ask me these questions? Do I need to explain myself?"

Monrek's face flushed red, and after a moment, he said, "Why? Because I am the new chieftain of the Night Elf tribe!" (

Chapter 129: It's all because of you!)

Yana stared at Monrek, her mockery piercing his pride. After a moment, she said, "Chieftain? You say you are the chieftain of the Night Elf tribe? I'm sorry, our people don't need a tribe that abandons them..." "Chief! Monrek, when you left the Night Elf race, did you ever think of your people? When you chose to stay in that carpenter's shop in Yharnam, did you ever think of your people? When I urged you to return, and you refused, did you ever think of your people?"

Yana paused, then said sharply, "You didn't! You didn't at all! Yet today you have the audacity to say you're the new chieftain of the Night Elf race! Monrek, you've disappointed me greatly!"

Monrek's face flushed crimson, his eyes filled with grievance as he stared at Yana. After a long while, he said sorrowfully, "Yana, do you really not know my feelings...?"

"I...I've done all this because of you..."

"Don't say such things anymore! If someone abandons their responsibilities, they shouldn't make excuses! Regardless of whether what you're saying is true or false, I just want to ask you one question, Monrek, do you know the plight of the Night Elves? Don't you feel sad that our people are forced to live in such a small, harsh settlement? Do you know what our people hope for? It's you, their chieftain, leading them to change their fate of being hunted by the Great Elves for thousands of years. It's their hope that you will help them change their living conditions! With so many responsibilities, how could you abandon your duties for a woman!" Yana said angrily, coughing violently as she spoke, blood reappearing at the corner of her mouth.

Monrek looked at Yana with concern, but dared not step forward to help her. His childhood sweetheart had given him an intimate understanding of Yana's temperament.

As the son of the Night Elf chieftain, destined to succeed him, he understood from a young age that, according to Night Elf rules, he could freely choose any woman he liked from the tribe as his wife. It's no exaggeration to say that Monrek knew this at a very young age, yet even then, he already considered Yana his wife.

Everything changed on that one night. It was the Night Elf's once-a-decade sacrificial ceremony. No one could have imagined that when the altar was erected and all the tribespeople used offerings and their sincere devotion to summon the Death Spider Queen, a fiery red light flashed from the statue of the Death Spider Queen on the altar. To everyone's astonishment, the light enveloped Yana.

From that moment on, everyone knew Yana was the messenger of the Death Spider Queen's manifestation, everyone knew Yana possessed the Death Spider Queen's powerful energy, and everyone knew Yana had become the hope of the entire Night Elf tribe, a being even higher than the chieftain.

Only Monrek knew that after that night, Yana would no longer easily belong to him!

The chieftain of the Night Elf race held supreme power, controlling the life and death of any member and freely choosing the most beautiful woman as his chieftain's wife. Unfortunately, he had no right to command the Holy Maiden, who held a higher position, nor the power to choose her as his wife against her will.

After that night, in Monrek's eyes, Yana had completely changed. No longer the innocent and lovely girl, after possessing the miraculous power of the Death Spider Queen, Yana became increasingly unfathomable, cold and unyielding, and no longer as understanding as before.

She became a messenger of the gods, shouldering the responsibility of assisting the Night Elf chieftain. When these obligations fell upon her, she quickly shouldered them and transformed herself because of them.

That was Yana's first change, but this change did not discourage Monrek. Instead, he felt proud that his beloved woman had become a messenger of the gods. He believed that Yana loved him, at least more than any other young man in the race.

The gods bestowed upon the messenger immense power and a heavy burden, but did not deprive the saintess of her right to love men and marry.

Because of this, Monrek believed he had a good chance. He thought that once Yana adapted to her position as saintess and gradually got used to the pressures of the role, she would remember her feelings. At that time, she would no longer shy away from his true love and would be with him. The two of them would become the first clan leader and saintess to be united in the first half of the year.

Thus, in Monrek's heart, Yana had become his wife. He would agree to anything Yana said and support all her ideas. In the eyes of his tribe, the Holy Maiden was no longer an assistant to the chieftain; the chieftain had become her subordinate.

Monrek was unperturbed by the criticisms of some tribesmen. He waited for the day Yana would accept him, for when they became a true couple, the dissenting voices would automatically disappear, and no one would utter any more negative comments.

However, everything changed. That very night, when Yana was about to seize the treasures of the elven temple worshipped by the great elves, she suddenly disappeared for a long time. When she returned to the night elf settlement, everything had changed. She had become cold and stern, expressing her disappointment in the night elves' rigid system...

Especially when Monrek gently comforted her, her eyes held no warmth, only rebuke, uttering the harsh rebuke of a Holy Maiden to her future chieftain.

What tormented Monrek even more was that, as the future chieftain, he was intimately familiar with the legends and tales of the Night Elves. He clearly sensed the changes in Yana's body and the loss of her power. He knew that the most terrifying thing in the legends had come to pass: Yana had lost her virginity during her disappearance, and the mysterious contract of the Death Spider Queen's power had appeared within her!

After several nights of agonizing torment, Monrek ultimately decided to ignore these flaws in Yana. If Yana wished, he would start over, as if nothing had ever happened.

To his disappointment, when he spoke to Yana about this alone, after a brief moment of panic, she readily admitted that her virginity had been taken from her. When Monrek told Yana that he could help her break the mysterious contract of the Death Spider Queen's energy and that it would be as if nothing had happened, Yana resolutely refused.

(Chapter 130: Deep love breeds deep hatred!)

No matter how much Monrek tried to persuade her, Yana wouldn't listen. Instead, she drove him out of the dwelling. Monrek assumed Yana had fallen in love with the man who had taken her virginity. What angered him most was that Yana offered no explanation, instead claiming it was all for the sake of the Night Elves!

Devastated, Monrek lost all interest in everything after losing Yana. Finally, one night, he left the Night Elf settlement alone.

He wandered aimlessly through forests and swamps, devoid of appetite. In fact, he wanted to use the pain of hunger to distract himself from his heartbreak.

One evening, he finally collapsed in a forest, exhausted and weak from hunger.

It was at that time that he met Uncle Mohan at the carpenter's shop. After Uncle Mohan miraculously killed a charging demonic lion with his godlike power and fed him water and food, he insisted on returning to the carpenter's shop with Uncle Mohan. In his eyes, Uncle Mohan's abilities were astonishing, but if such a master was willing to lie low in a carpenter's shop, how much more so would he, a heartbroken man?

Actually, more than anything, he hoped to learn Uncle Mohan's skills, at least to be more powerful than Yana. Then, he could disregard Yana and find the man who had taken Yana's virginity, the man who had caused him to lose Yana, and use his blood to win back Yana's heart.

Love runs deep, so does hate!

Unbeknownst to him, in the hardship and loneliness of the carpenter's shop, his love for Yana had transformed into a deep-seated hatred!

He hated Yana, resenting her for being a fickle woman who ignored his deep affection and gave everything to a stranger in just a few days.

Of course, he hated that man he didn't even know! That man had taken everything from him! He wanted to kill that man!

Because of this deep-seated hatred, when Yana found him, he resolutely refused to return to the Night Elf clan, stating even more firmly that he would never again be the chieftain of the Night Elves, even when his sister begged him, he ruthlessly refused.

However, he was the designated successor to the chieftainship from childhood, and the pride of a chieftain was ingrained in his bones. Although he decided not to return to the Night Elf clan, when he sensed the powerful Night Elf energy and the formation of the Night Elf barrier, he suddenly became very curious about the reason behind this largest operation of the Night Elf clan in a hundred years.

So, after hesitating, he finally appeared in Mandala Square, beside Yana!

"Mengrek, didn't you already decide not to be the chieftain anymore? Didn't you already decide not to return to the Night Elf clan? Why did you come here today?" Yana coldly looked at the pensive Mengrek, the icy tone of her voice sending a chill down Mengrek's spine.

Recalling Yana's ruthlessness towards him over the past few days, Monrek's hatred was reignited. He glared at Yana and said, "It seems the Holy Maiden doesn't have the right to remove the chieftain, does she? The clan's rules state that a chieftain who has been absent for a year will have their chieftainship revoked! Have I been absent for a year?"

A barely perceptible smile flashed in Yana's eyes, but her tone remained icy and aggressive: "So you mean you're still the chieftain of the Night Elf clan? But do you think you're capable of leading the entire Night Elf clan? I don't believe someone who can leave their people at will can shoulder such a heavy responsibility!"

The contempt in Yana's words deeply stung Monrek's pride. He said coldly: "Whether I can shoulder this responsibility or not, we'll see!"

Then, she sneered, "Noble Saintess, as for your man, he will face the test of the Night Elf race. Whether he can truly become your man is still unknown. If you really want to worry about someone, worry about your man! Not me!"

A relieved smile suddenly bloomed on Yana's face, and she whispered, "Mengrek, fulfill your duties as the Night Elf chieftain well. One day, I will give the chieftain a satisfactory answer!"

Seeing the strange smile that suddenly appeared on Yana's face, Mengrek subconsciously felt a trace of doubt. Just as he was about to ask, Yana waved her hand to interrupt him.

Yana smiled and said, "Chieftain, don't you want to know the reason for the Night Elf warriors' actions tonight?"

This was precisely what Mengrek was most curious about. He didn't bother to ask anything, but simply nodded, waiting for Yana to reveal the truth.

Yana said, "You should know about the major events that happened in Yanan City today, right?"

Monrek thought for a moment and said, "You mean the Treasure Trade Fair of the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire?"

Yana nodded and said, "At the Treasure Trade Fair, a treasure appeared that is said to be related to the one that could create the strongest person on the continent during the last treasure hunt. Our target is this treasure!"

Monrek smiled contemptuously and said, "Yana, you actually believe in this 'strongest person' nonsense? Only fools on this continent would believe such an absurd claim that a treasure can create the strongest person. Let me tell you, the only thing that can greatly enhance one's abilities according to legend is a divine artifact, but divine artifacts are always just stories..."

"No!" Yana blurted out, "That legend is true! It really can create the strongest person! I... I'm sure of it!"

"Why are you so sure? What's your basis? Did you see the treasure? Or do you even know the person who obtained it? Ha, ridiculous! How long has it been since the treasure hunt? Has any top expert appeared yet? Yana, I really didn't expect you to believe this!" Monrek said sarcastically.

Yana's expression darkened. How could she refute Monrek's words? Could she tell Monrek everything? The answer was no! Regarding Yanxuan, at least until she obtained the treasure that could make Yanxuan so terrifying, she wouldn't reveal anything about him.

Having been by Yanxuan's side for so long, Yana had a deep understanding of the strange energy within his body. She knew that no one in the Dark Elf race could be Yanxuan's match. She was certain that Monrek liked him very much, but Monrek had a fatal weakness: he was arrogant and narrow-minded.
