Desire Restaurant [Complete] - 20

The experienced soul, having fought 3020 battles in the flower garden,

left in a huff. Her steps were swift, and her momentum was immense. Caught off guard by Yan Xuan's sudden pull, she lost her footing and stumbled to the side. Just as she was circulating her energy to regain her balance, she found herself in a broad embrace.

Warmth and fragrance filled her arms. The sensation was incredibly alluring, especially since Yan Xuan was currently shirtless, with only the soul's black robe separating them. Yan Xuan could almost feel the elasticity of the soul's skin. The intoxicating fragrance of a virgin wafted into Yan Xuan's nose.

Recalling the countless times they had touched skin during treatments in the dark room, Yan Xuan's heart fluttered. For a moment, he forgot his initial purpose in pulling the soul, only knowing to tighten his arms, pulling her entire body into his embrace, one large hand already uncontrollably roaming around.

The wandering soul, caught in this predicament, felt a sudden pang of embarrassment. She forcefully broke free from Yan Xuan's embrace and slapped him across the face.

As she broke free, Yan Xuan had already regained his senses, seeing a slender wrist emerge from the sleeve of his black robe. It drew a jade-like arc towards him, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Damn it, does every woman slap herself in this situation? So unoriginal."

That was his thought. But his actions didn't falter. Yan Xuan didn't want his face to be covered in a "five-finger mountain." His arm shot out, accurately grabbing the wandering soul's wrist. To be honest, if the wandering soul were at her peak, Yan Xuan wouldn't have succeeded so easily. But now, the wandering soul's energy balance hadn't been reached for long, and all energy circulation was in an adaptation period. Under such circumstances, the energy intensity was naturally much weaker than before.

"Bastard! Let me go!" Youhun's fair wrist was grabbed, and she struggled violently, trying to break free. Unfortunately, Yanxuan's grip was perfect; he neither hurt her nor let her escape easily.

Yanxuan didn't let go, but simply stared into Youhun's eyes. Having seen Youhun's most original appearance, the only thing truly real to him now was those deep eyes.

Don't mistake his profoundness for profundity, and don't think he's reached the level of using stillness to control movement when seducing women...

Please forgive him. Our Yanxuan was cursing inwardly at this moment. If he hadn't been unable to disperse just now, Youhun wouldn't have reacted like this. And if she hadn't reacted so excessively, he wouldn't be so troubled by not knowing how to comfort her.

Youhun was held by Yanxuan's iron-like hand, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free. Enraged, she roared, "What are you doing! Just kill me! Bastard! I will definitely kill you, I definitely will..."

As she spoke, her eyes glistened with tears. Although magic concealed her tears, Yan Xuan could see that the beauty was already weeping uncontrollably.

Seeing the wandering soul cry, Yan Xuan became even more flustered and hurriedly said, "Why are you crying? I... I just wanted to keep you here..."

After saying this, even Yan Xuan himself was incredibly surprised. Come to think of it, this was the gentlest thing Yan Xuan had ever said so far.

Damn it. It was probably Da Nian Zhang's subconscious guidance, or perhaps he had developed a habit from experiencing the benefits of gentleness with Yana...

Yan Xuan wouldn't know. Da Nian Zhang, having absorbed the blood of Li Jie, the virgin of the Great Elf royal family, once again, had increased his soul energy considerably. Because Da Nian Zhang had deliberately concealed this from Yan Xuan at the beginning, Yan Xuan had no idea. The effect of the Great Year Zhang's soul growth was that it would subtly influence his consciousness.

In other words, the reason why Yan Xuan's attitude towards the wandering soul had changed so rapidly was ultimately due to the influence of the Great Year Zhang's soul energy.

The wandering soul looked at Yan Xuan in surprise. The tender words she heard made her feel shy, yet she also felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She wanted to take Yan Xuan's words as deliberate sweet talk. However, looking into Yan Xuan's eyes and hearing his tone, she truly believed that Yan Xuan's words came from the bottom of his heart.

For a moment, the wandering soul looked at Yan Xuan, then turned her head away and lowered it again. After repeating this many times, her eyes were filled with shyness. Although she mustered the courage to gaze at Yan Xuan, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"I...I'm sorry..." Yan Xuan said, bowing his head.

He himself was puzzled by these words, as he hadn't originally intended to apologize in this way. But why did the words change as soon as they reached his lips?

Suddenly, Yan Xuan heard Da Nian Zhang's maniacal laughter and immediately realized it was this old lecherous wretch causing trouble. He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "You old lecher, are you so smug? Believe me, I'll make you cry right now!"

"Kid, I'm too excited. Do you know why you're acting like this? It's because you've tasted the sweetness of winning a woman's heart and you're increasingly understanding what women need... Hahaha, this is a true lecherous wretch of a generation! Completely transformed under my subtle influence!" Da Nian Zhang shouted excitedly.

Yan Xuan frowned, his face flushing slightly. Damn it

. Even so, this old bastard didn't have to say it so obviously and exaggeratedly... But seriously, that feeling just now was quite good. Treating a woman gently, trying out the game of emotions. That's much better than any forced sexual assault.

Da Nian Zhang sensed Yan Xuan's thoughts and said, "Kid, don't you think your skills at picking up girls are terrible? What I'm doing can teach you a lot of techniques, and it'll make you feel wonderful...tsk tsk. Looking at how clumsy you were just now, if someone didn't know you, they'd really think you were some naive little boy..."

"Stop talking!" Yan Xuan shouted angrily.

"I was just saying, that's all, that's all, I won't disturb your girl-chasing anymore, kid. Don't forget, this girl's virgin blood is still mine..." Da Nian Zhang said with a lewd grin, then fell silent.

You Hun stared blankly at Yan Xuan. The fleeting tenderness on this man's face just now suddenly gave her a warm feeling, a long-lost feeling that made her feel that this elf wasn't so annoying after all.

Sometimes, the change in feelings can happen in an instant. Actually, gaining a woman's favor isn't difficult; all you need to do is keenly grasp a woman's inner needs and act appropriately towards those needs.

Da Nian Zhang, the notorious alchemist known for his lewd arts, was a seasoned womanizer, intimately familiar with the minds of all types of women. He had almost no contact with You Hun. However, as a being of soul energy, he could sense the fluctuations of You Hun's soul. He saw sorrow in her eyes, and a desolate loneliness within her soul.

For such a woman, nothing was better than heartfelt tenderness. Thus, Da Nian Zhang, his energy amplified, couldn't resist controlling Yan Xuan, enacting the same old but effective charade.

"I have something to discuss with you," You Hun said, her anger subsiding.

It must be said that Da Nian Zhang has a unique way of dealing with women. Seeing You Hun's change in attitude, Yan Xuan was happy to enjoy Da Nian Zhang's success and said with a smile, "What is it? Speak."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but squeeze You Hun's soft, delicate hand, which he was still holding. This made You Hun blush and quickly pull her hand away, lowering her head, not daring to look at Yan Xuan again.

After a moment, she whispered, "The map you mentioned last time..."

"What map?" Yan Xuan was taken aback. He asked doubtfully. Last time he talked to You Hun about the treasure map, it was just a casual conversation to find something to talk about. So much time had passed. He had completely forgotten about it. Besides, that map was worthless in Yan Xuan's eyes. Naturally, he wouldn't have expected You Hun to come forward and talk about that map.

You Hun was stunned. Because of her previous impression of Yan Xuan, she thought he was deliberately playing dumb. It was all just to whet her appetite and get more benefits in return.

Despite his indignation at Yan Xuan's hypocritical behavior, You Hun reasoned that since he had made his decision, he should be prepared to be ruthlessly exploited by Yan Xuan.

After a moment of hesitation with a grim expression, You Hun stared into Yan Xuan's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Let's cooperate. You can get the largest share."

Yan Xuan was immediately confused. Seeing You Hun's serious expression, he asked in bewilderment, "What are you talking about? I'm so confused. What map? What do you mean by the largest share?"

You Hun's anger flared up instantly. The strange feeling he had towards Yan Xuan vanished in an instant. Staring at the bewildered guy in front of him, You Hun could only admire the bastard's acting skills and curse his insatiable greed!

"You don't need to do this. I only need a small portion. That treasure trove is incredibly valuable. Even if I take a small portion, the majority of the rest will be enough for you to become the richest person in the entire Purple Heaven Luo Continent," You Hun said coldly.

"Treasure?" Yan Xuan exclaimed, staring blankly at You Hun.

Three hundred and three treasure maps

, damn it! What's going on? Is my comprehension terrible, or is this girl's communication skill just awful? Why can't I understand a word she's saying… Yan Xuan thought helplessly. You

Hun was even more furious, coldly saying, "Don't think you know only part of the treasure map. Let me tell you, without my part, you can forget about getting the treasure. My cooperation with you is already the biggest concession! Otherwise, I would never have told you the secret of my part of the treasure map, and all your attempts to please me by healing me would have gone to hell!"

After saying this, You Hun glared fiercely at Yan Xuan and turned to leave.

Hearing this, a flash of inspiration struck Yan Xuan, and he vaguely remembered something she had said before…

Holy crap

!

Could it be that the map this girl was studying so often was actually a treasure map?

Doesn't that mean the part missing from the map—the tattoo on Lin Jiayi's body—is also part of the treasure map?

Why is the treasure map divided into so many parts? Youhun has a part, Lin Jiayi has a part… So, do others have parts too?

Countless thoughts flashed through Yan Xuan's mind, his heart filled with doubt.

Thinking about it, Youhun's actions just now seemed real, meaning his speculations were correct. The treasure map… a treasure of immense value… the richest person in the entire Purple Heaven Luo Continent… This series of events combined made Yan Xuan feel briefly dizzy.

To be honest, Yan Xuan currently possessed considerable wealth; the amount he plundered after Li Jie's treasure gathering alone was a substantial sum. However, those treasures had already been converted into gold coins, used to cover the Dark Elf clan's relocation and hiding costs.

It could be said that after covering all the Dark Elf clan's expenses, Yan Xuan was back to being penniless.

Now, compared to before… Yanxuan's view on wealth had undergone a significant change. Initially, he desired the simple yet glamorous life he currently enjoyed. However, after his time with the Dark Elves, Yanxuan realized: Damn it, even picking up girls in this world requires money. For

example, the change in Yana's attitude towards him after he generously provided so many treasures to settle the Dark Elves was enough to prove that money isn't everything, but without it, nothing is possible. Yanxuan wouldn't go

to great lengths to amass wealth, but there was no reason to give up the immense wealth right before him… If he were to let such a good opportunity slip by, he'd probably be struck by lightning…

After a moment's hesitation, Yanxuan looked up and saw Youhun storming towards the edge of the woods. He immediately threw on his clothes and quickly chased after Youhun.

"Don't go! Everything can be discussed, hehe, your temper is too much, isn't it? Be careful no man will want you…" Yanxuan blocked Youhun's path, smiling as he spoke.

"Get out of my way!" the wandering soul shouted angrily.

"Didn't you want to discuss something with me? Why are

you leaving before we've even discussed it? I bet it wasn't easy for you to make the decision to discuss it with me, right? And you're just giving up like this?" Yan Xuan moved his feet, blocking the wandering soul's path. "Bastard! What do you want! Get away from me! I've already given up on my previous decision! What? Are you going to use force? Then just kill me!" The wandering soul couldn't break through Yan Xuan's blockade and said angrily.

"How about a 50/50 split?" Yan Xuan said generously.

The wandering soul was stunned for a moment, looking at Yan Xuan suspiciously. She didn't know what this guy was up to. Just now he was teasing her, wanting to take more, but now his attitude had changed so much.

Did he want to use trickery to get the treasure first, and then deal with her after he got the treasure?

A thought flashed through the wandering soul's mind. She immediately trembled, her eyes filled with vigilance.

"Why should I believe you? Once I get the treasure, I'll be no match for you. What if you go back on your word then?" the wandering soul said coldly.

Yan Xuan chuckled and said, "How could I bear to deal with such a beautiful woman like you for some treasure?"

His words were quite flippant, causing the wandering soul's eyes to twitch and his expression to turn somewhat angry.

Yan Xuan noticed this and quickly laughed, "Just kidding. Tell me, what will it take for you to believe me?"

"I need you to swear an oath to the undead, to make a blood curse!" the wandering soul said coldly.

An oath to the undead? A blood curse?

Holy crap!

Is it really that serious? Yan Xuan didn't know what the blood curse the wandering soul was talking about was, but just hearing the name was terrifying enough. He never did anything without being sure of success, which was Yan Xuan's consistent style. Thinking of this, he tried to walk around Yan Xuan and leave the forest.

For a man, nothing is more frustrating than facing a woman's skepticism. Yan Xuan, subjected to the scornful mockery of the wandering spirit, felt a surge of anger and shouted, "What's there to be afraid of!"

As he spoke, he was confident, knowing that Da Nian Zhang was by his side. That old man was so proficient in magic; he should be familiar with blood curses too, right

? After successfully overcoming several magical difficulties with Da Nian Zhang's help, Yan Xuan had developed considerable trust in the old lecher's magical knowledge.

"Alright. First, swear an oath to the undead. After completing the blood curse, I'll tell you the secret of my treasure map!" the wandering spirit said in

a deep voice. As soon as she finished speaking, she silently began chanting the incantation. Black mist dissipated from her body, beginning the preparation for the blood curse oath.

Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from afar.

Then, a commotion erupted.

The sound came from the direction of the arena. Yan Xuan's heart skipped a beat; he turned to look at the arena and cursed inwardly. So engrossed in his fight with the wandering soul, Yan Xuan had forgotten about Liu Mang.

Damn it, he hoped Liu Mang wouldn't suffer any major setbacks against that great mage Zheng Ke!

Concerned for Liu Mang's safety, Yan Xuan ignored the wandering soul before him and casually said, "I'll find you later!" With that, he turned and strode quickly towards the arena.

The wandering soul had only completed half of its Necromancer's Blood Curse when it saw Yan Xuan turn and run away. It immediately cursed loudly, "Bastard! Damn bastard!"

Before the words were even finished, it had already quickly caught up with Yan Xuan.

On the arena, flames were already raging, and the deafening sounds of explosions echoed repeatedly.

Compared to the rookie leader of the Skull Gang, Zheng Ke's magical power was far superior, far beyond what Liu Mang could handle at his current strength.

Liu Mang was now forced to a corner of the arena by Zheng Ke's powerful magic. Covered in dust and grime, he howled and wildly threw magic scrolls at Zheng Ke...

Although the scrolls were of low level, there were many of them, and the sight of Liu Mang using so many scrolls was quite spectacular. While

the magical attacks from these scrolls didn't harm Zheng Ke much, they were enough to slow him down.

"Storm Ice Arrow..."

With a roar from Zheng Ke, a gust of wind formed on the arena, and huge ice shards appeared out of nowhere, then were swept away by the wind. Swirling in the air, the massive ice shards significantly lowered the temperature of the area. Flying and swirling, the spectacle was quite frightening. Gradually, the ice shards coalesced in the gale, forming a giant crossbow bolt. Finally, with a loud crack, the ice bolt shot towards Liu Mang like lightning.

"Aiya... Master, where are you! This old bastard is going all out..." Liu Mang's face turned purple from the cold, his hands frantically throwing magic scrolls, howling incoherently.

Fireball, Explosion... various magic scrolls met the storm of ice arrows. Although the Fireball spells were small, more than ten combined created a massive fireball. Although it was eventually breached by the giant ice arrow, it still managed to melt almost half of its volume.

Then, a dozen or so Explosion spells crackled and popped on the ice arrow, blasting it into countless ice shards, reducing its volume by another half...

and so on. The storm ice arrow, which had seemed so powerful just moments before, had little effect when it actually hit Hexagram. The incredibly resilient Hexagram was only knocked down briefly before getting back up, surprisingly unharmed.

"Master, if you don't come soon, your innocent disciple is going to be killed by this old bastard! Master! Come quick, help me beat this old beast... this old monster... this old pervert... this old monster..."

Hexagram was a classic example of someone who was utterly rude. Damn it, even if I can't beat you, I'll make you furious. With that thought in mind, Hexagram darted around the arena, dodging and weaving, casually tossing out tons of magic scrolls, making Zheng Ke's face turn pale and then red with anger. Suddenly ! Hexagram's hand remained inside his bag, his expression slowly crumbling, the limp backpack a clear indication of

his distress . He had used up all his magic scrolls. Without their protection, even with his exceptional resilience, he was now just a target for Zheng Ke to arbitrarily attack. Zheng Ke, who had been holding back his anger for so long, couldn't help but sneer at this sight. His chilling gaze fixed on the six-pointed stare, and he began chanting a long incantation. The various gang members below the arena erupted in jeers. Especially the Black Blood Society members, seeing their leader in danger and Zheng Ke clearly violating the rules and causing trouble for them, felt a surge of righteous indignation. Although they dared not rush onto the arena, they no longer cared about Zheng Ke's status and shouted insults. Yana stood below the arena, her black cloak concealing her stunning beauty and dark elf features. Seeing Liu Mang on the stage in imminent danger, Yana felt anxious. Based on her understanding of magic, she could clearly sense the frantic gathering of magical elements around him as Zheng Ke chanted his spell. Judging from the amplitude of the elemental fluctuations, Zheng Ke was casting at least a mid-level spell. At this moment, Liu Mang had exhausted his magic scrolls, and whether he could withstand such a powerful magical attack was completely unknown. Considering Liu Mang's help to her and his identity as Yan Xuan's apprentice, Yana felt she couldn't stand idly by. However, if she went onto the stage to help Liu Mang, she would have to use a Dark Elf skill, meaning she would expose her identity and likely be captured by the extermination group, causing unnecessary trouble for the entire Black Blood Society. Yana anxiously pondered this below the stage, caught in a dilemma. Just as she hesitated, Zheng Ke finished chanting his spell on the stage. He roared, "Judgment of the Ice Storm!" Before his words even finished, a fierce wind raged around him, snowflakes swirling and dancing like sharp blades in the swirling wind. The snowflakes multiplied, covering the sky like a vast, endless curtain, pressing down on Six Mang with terrifying force. Among them, snowflakes coalesced into enormous snowballs, resembling white rocks imbued with a chilling aura, and hurled at Six Mang amidst the snowstorm. The moment the snowstorm appeared, Six Mang's entire body went numb with cold, shivering uncontrollably. Damn it, this ice magic attack is too astonishing! Even if he doesn't die from the snowballs, he'll probably be frozen solid. But the only way to avoid injury is to jump off the arena! Clearly, Six Mang cannot accept such an outcome. He swore an oath to Yanxuan, and was equally confident in bringing glory to Yanxuan. He wanted to perform well to repay Yanxuan's kindness. However, he never expected Zheng Ke to suddenly appear! This old bastard probably didn't want to hold a grudge. He was likely trying to dampen his spirits and embarrass him... In an instant, Liu Mang quickly thought things through. A moment later, Liu Mang's eyes widened, his legs spread apart, and he stood frozen on the spot, letting the wind whip his clothes and his long hair fly. Letting the snowflakes streak across his cheeks, leaving tiny streaks of blood. Enduring the increasingly numb feeling in his body from the cold, he roared, "You old bastard! I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations! If your grandpa Liu Mang even flinchs, I'll call your grandma 'big sister'!" Liu Mang's face was resolute; he seemed determined not to back down, even if it meant death. He had to die with dignity, with spirit, so that Yan Xuan wouldn't look down on him! A deluge of snow and countless snowballs swept in, and Liu Mang's small, thin body swayed precariously like a lone boat in a raging storm. Seeing Liu Mang in danger, Yana dared not hesitate any longer. She moved to rush onto the arena to rescue him. Just then, a murmur rippled through the crowd. A familiar aura, carrying immense power, flashed past her nearby, its eyes glowing red. Needless to say, at this crucial moment, Yan Xuan had appeared. A joyful smile appeared on Yana's pretty face. Her previously tense expression had visibly relaxed. For some reason, ever since Yan Xuan's sudden appearance that night, saving the entire Dark Elf race, Yana's feelings for him had become incredibly complex. She was not only filled with gratitude but also subtly developed a dependence on him. As soon as Yanxuan emerged from the woods, he saw a blizzard raging on the arena. Rushing closer, he saw Liu Mang adopting a desperate stance, bracing himself for Zheng Ke's attack. While inwardly cursing Liu Mang's recklessness, Yanxuan was also moved and gratified by his spirit. Seeing the tense situation, Yanxuan disregarded his strength. Fueled by his anger at Zheng Ke's murderous intent towards Liu Mang, he hastily activated his Nine Yang Energy. His aura became astonishing, a fiery red halo surrounding him. He moved with lightning speed, causing everyone in his path to stumble and fall. Fortunately, thanks to Yanxuan's all-out effort, he managed to shield Liu Mang just as the blizzard reached him. "Roar!"

Yan Xuan roared. Nine Yang energy surged skyward, forming a crimson energy barrier that completely blocked the blizzard attack created by the magic.

Nine Yang energy is supremely strong and yang!

It is the perfect nemesis of these cold, ice-based magics. A hissing sound rang out, and the seemingly invincible blizzard melted like snow in spring when it encountered the Nine Yang energy. Large amounts of water vapor filled the arena, obscuring the entire space…

It wasn't that Yan Xuan was significantly stronger than Zheng Ke; the reason he so easily blocked Zheng Ke's attack was simply that the two energies repelled each other, and Yan Xuan's energy was clearly much purer than Zheng Ke's ice-based magic.

Yan Xuan's sudden appearance caused everyone to widen their eyes.

Especially his performance just now, which made them regard him as a god. No wonder, given the limited strength of their respective gangs, they had never seen such a powerful expert as Yan Xuan before.

Zheng Ke inwardly cursed himself. His earlier violation of the rules stemmed from his resentment over Liu Mang's insults and his disdain for Liu Mang's rising power . He wanted to teach Liu Mang a lesson, but in the actual fight, he hadn't gained any advantage, leading to his enraged act of killing.

Moreover, Zheng Ke had received instructions from above: to test the true abilities of the new leader of the Black Blood Society. Otherwise, even with his grudge against Liu Mang, Zheng Ke wouldn't dare to openly challenge

him. Watching his powerful magic being so easily neutralized, Zheng Ke felt uneasy. Looking at Yan Xuan, who appeared like a war god enveloped in a blush, Zheng Ke felt his legs go weak…

Yan Xuan was different from Liu Mang. Liu Mang's attack power relied purely on his magic scrolls, and his superhuman resilience, haphazardly developed, was more a result of his training.

While Yan Xuan's physical defense was somewhat inferior to Liu Mang's, his attack power was astonishing.

Yan Xuan remembered a line from a movie in his past life: "The best defense is offense!"

So, after blocking the blizzard, Yan Xuan's eyes gleamed as he sized up Zheng Ke, giving him no chance to catch his breath before he swung his arms, creating a crimson haze. Mixed with a chilling killing intent, he pounced on Zheng Ke. "

Damn it, you're just using magic to bully people, huh? Then I'll make sure you don't even have a chance to chant a spell! I'll bully you to death!"

Yan Xuan cursed inwardly, his actions perfectly conforming to a warrior's principle when dealing with a mage: a swift and relentless attack.

Although Yan Xuan's initial momentum was astonishing, he changed his mind when he actually reached Zheng Ke.

He grabbed the helpless Zheng Ke, threw him to the ground like a chick, and then, suppressing his Nine Yang Energy and relying solely on his physical strength, unleashed a brutal beating...

Zheng Ke could only cover his head and dodge, utterly powerless to retaliate. Compared to his arrogant demeanor when bullying Liu Mang, he had practically transformed from an eagle into a chick.

After a few kicks, Yan Xuan suddenly realized he had decided to cultivate a gentlemanly image in his elven form... uh... wasn't he being too rude?

"Liu Mang, come here..." Yan Xuan "elegantly" raised his foot, which he had intended to use to kick Liu Mang, and called out to him.

Seeing Yan Xuan enjoying the beating, Liu Mang was already itching for a fight. His greatest skill was using his mountain-manipulation ability to bully others, and now with Yan Xuan present, he was fearless. Plus, Zheng Ke was badly beaten, so he fully embraced the principle of "strike while the iron is hot!"

Three Hundred and Five nervously

but readily agreed. He strode up to Zheng Ke. His eyes widened, and he roared, "Damn it, you even want to kill someone as innocent as me!"

*Smack*... A powerful kick!

"You little bastard! You almost killed me!"

*Smack smack smack*... A series of kicks like "invisible kicks"...

The Hermit Guild was always high and mighty. Those gangs that usually feared the Hermit Guild had never seen such a scene before, not even imagined it. They never dared to imagine such a situation would occur.

According to custom, the Hermit Guild only had one mage, Zheng Ke, for the gang assessment; the others were all members who did paperwork. Moreover, due to the Hermit Guild's transcendent existence, there was never any need for security during the assessment. In Ya'nan City, no one dared to cause trouble within the Hermit Guild. Of course

, this was before Yan Xuan's appearance, but with Yan Xuan's arrival, the entire rule of Mandala would change!

Yan Xuan watched as Liu Mang made his move, his eyes scanning the surroundings. Now that he had shown himself... He didn't care about causing more trouble, and according to his deduction, the Hermit Guild was powerful, and since he was currently on their territory, he figured someone would come to his aid immediately.

In that case, he'd make an example of Zheng Ke to establish his authority!

Sure enough, a moment later, Yan Xuan sensed several powerful auras approaching from afar.

These auras carried obvious hostility, causing his Nine Yang Energy to surge wildly under their oppressive force, generating a strong fighting spirit.

When the group came into view, Yan Xuan saw that the leader was none other than Su Ke, the Qi expert who had gone to the Black Blood Society with Zheng Ke. Behind him were two or three very old men, but their eyes shone brightly. Their auras were even greater than Su Ke's, causing Yan Xuan to feel a chill and immediately activate his Nine Yang Energy, ready to fight.

"Anyone who dares to cause trouble in the Hermit Guild will die!" Su Ke's eyes were red, filled with bloodlust. He had wanted to test his skills against Yan Xuan back then. Now that the opportunity had finally arrived, his warlike nature filled him with immense excitement.

Yan Xuan stood tall, the red aura of Nine Yang energy undulating around him. He stared expressionlessly at Su Ke and said, "I'm just saving people. I don't care about guilds or anything like that. Anyone who bullies my people is unacceptable!"

"Then they'll only die!" Su Ke said fiercely. Dark red battle aura flowed around him, a bloodthirsty killing intent permeating the air. Everyone felt the chilling aura of death.

Butcher Su Ke, before even arriving in Yanan City, had killed countless people. His battle aura, honed through countless killings, possessed boundless murderous intent, capable of unsettling opponents and psychologically attacking them.

Unfortunately, he had encountered the fearless Yan Xuan. Since acquiring the Nine Yang energy, Yan Xuan had never suffered a defeat. This had instilled in him immense confidence and subconsciously made him despise everything. He looked down upon all living beings.

Under Yan Xuan's overwhelming power... A sense of unease, unlike anything he had ever felt before, settled over Suk.

He stared at his opponent, experiencing fear for the first time in his life. Leaving aside whether his opponent was stronger, Suk's sheer aura was overwhelming.

Known as the Butcher, he had always viewed his opponents as prey, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that he himself had become prey.

Yanxuan's gaze shifted. Facing this first and most powerful opponent of his life, his heart pounded, driven only by the unwavering belief that he could not retreat and could not be inferior to Liu Mang.

Dealing with Suk was completely different from dealing with Zheng Ke. Zheng Ke, as a magician, had the weakness of long spells, while Suk was a master of battle qi. Just like Yanxuan's Nine Yang Energy, Suk's battle qi could be activated at any time.

Therefore, in this respect, Suk had almost no weaknesses.

Yanxuan stood there, staring intently at Suk. Feeling both nervous and excited, Su Ke dared not make a rash move, relying on his countless combat experiences to search for Yan Xuan's weakness.

Unfortunately, Yan Xuan, completely unfamiliar with various attack techniques and relying solely on brute force, clearly lacked finesse. He stood casually, his facial muscles tense and his eyes filled with vigilance, displaying none of the preparatory movements expected of a master before an attack.

This left Su Ke bewildered, wanting to seize the opportunity to strike but fearing he might fall into Yan Xuan's trap…

Alas…

sometimes, the more one thinks, the more one worries, and Su Ke was clearly no exception to this "curse."

After a brief stalemate, Yan Xuan made the first move. He knew nothing of techniques, relying entirely on the hope that a sudden attack might gain him an advantage, wildly waving his arms and unleashing powerful Nine Yang energy.

Seeing the two arcing red beams of light approaching with immense power, Su Ke was initially tense. However, a moment later, his experience as a master allowed him to quickly adopt a defensive counterattack.

The battle aura, also tinged with red, was much darker than Yan Xuan's Nine Yang Energy, yet it appeared incredibly heavy, stirring up a cloud of dust. The dark red battle aura condensed into the shape of a giant hammer, which slammed down fiercely towards Yan Xuan.

"Divine Hammer Shatters the Heavens!"

Su Ke shouted, his movements becoming even more powerful. The giant hammer formed from the battle aura became even more vivid, as realistic as a real object…

The two arcs of Yan Xuan's Nine Yang Energy collided violently with the dark red giant hammer!

Boom… Boom…

The two powerful energies collided head-on, causing an endless cloud of dust to rise from the arena, shaking the entire ground. Several members of the various gangs standing around the arena were thrown into the air by the powerful shockwave and slammed heavily to the ground.

In battles between masters, energy might be the key to victory, but when the energy levels are similar, the key to victory lies in combat skills.

Clearly. Yan Xuan's Nine Yang Energy, almost comparable to that of an Emperor-level Battle Qi Master, was nearly equal to Su Ke's Battle Qi. After a head-on clash, both Su Ke and Yan Xuan were forced back two steps.

The wooden arena, though reinforced by a magical array, was blasted open by the powerful energy impact, creating a large hole between Yan Xuan and Su Ke.

Finally, they had encountered opponents of similar strength!

Not only the belligerent Su Ke, but even Yan Xuan felt incredibly excited… well, to be more precise, excited about the Nine Yang Energy itself. Under these circumstances, Yan Xuan, who usually could blast opponents to death with sheer power through random strikes, felt genuinely nervous.

Su Ke's red light deepened as he stared at Yan Xuan. His breathing became increasingly rapid.

Having fled to Yanan City and sought refuge in the Hermit Guild, he hadn't acted with unbridled abandon in a long time, hadn't felt this exhilarated.

After a head-on clash… This ignited Su Ke's fighting spirit. Giving Yan Xuan no chance, he brandished his hands, unleashing a surge of dark red battle qi, and roared, "Endless Slaughter!"

A massive, dark red sword of light and shadow gradually appeared between Su Ke's arms, growing larger and larger, its dark red battle qi becoming increasingly vibrant...

"Kill!"

Su Ke roared, and the massive sword of light and shadow shot fiercely towards Yan Xuan, carrying boundless killing intent.

Seeing the massive sword of light and shadow approaching, Yan Xuan was also extremely nervous. He punched forward fiercely with both fists, two fist shadows the size of winnowing baskets condensed from Nine Yang energy, slamming heavily into the massive sword of light and shadow. Based on past experience, Yan Xuan wanted to smash the massive sword of light and shadow to pieces, then attack Su Ke without giving him a chance to breathe.

Unfortunately, Yan Xuan miscalculated this time!

He ultimately tasted the bitter fruit of having no attack skills. His wishful thinking, though well-thought-out, was useless at this moment.

Su Ke, who had been immersed in battle qi cultivation for many years... Possessing combat experience unmatched by many Emperor-level Qi Masters, his techniques were mostly honed through countless battles, displaying exquisite skill and ruthless precision!

Yan Xuan's fist struck the giant sword, and as he gasped for breath, he was astonished to see the dark red, shimmering sword shatter, transforming into countless smaller swords, their sharpness undiminished. These swords, carrying a chilling killing intent, shot towards Yan Xuan at tricky angles, completely sealing off his escape routes. Having just launched his attack

, Yan Xuan was now in a state of panic. Although his Nine Yang Energy wasn't depleted, the sheer number of sword shadows made it impossible to defend against them all…

Watching the countless sword shadows approaching, Yan Xuan used his Nine Yang Energy to deflect a few before feeling utterly powerless. Only then did he deeply realize his shortcomings; relying solely on energy was the act of a reckless fool, an attack devoid of any skill, utterly vulnerable against a true master!

Three hundred and six, the two things I admire most about you.

Suk's eyes gleamed with excitement; he could see Yan Xuan's current helplessness.

Watching a super expert so easily destroyed by his own hands filled him with a maniacal sense of satisfaction, causing him to laugh maniacally.

Below the arena, Yana and Youhun's expressions changed drastically, and they simultaneously rushed towards the arena. Even Liu Mang, who had been shielding Yan Xuan, sensed his precarious situation and shouted, "Master, step back! Let me block!"

The sword shadows arrived suddenly, and Liu Mang, Yana, and Youhun all cried out in alarm. Their movements were too slow to help Yan Xuan deflect the sword shadows…

Suddenly!

The space in front of Yan Xuan fluctuated violently…

A hollow spatial gate appeared out of thin air in front of Yan Xuan, and the sword shadows vanished silently within the spatial gate.

Yan Xuan watched this perilous event unfold, and before he knew it, cold sweat had beaded on his skin. He was filled with unsettling questions

: who had saved him in such a dangerous situation? Suk's excitement turned to disappointment. Just as he was about to attack again, his expression suddenly changed. He stopped moving as if listening intently, and after a moment, his expression turned utterly dejected. He said viciously, "Consider yourself lucky. Next time you fall into my hands, I'll definitely kill you!"

With that, he and the two experts who had come with him turned and vanished...

In a thicket far from the arena,

Sith Sima stopped his flailing arms, and ripples appeared in the space in front of him.

Watching Suk leave, a satisfied smile appeared on Sith Sima's face. He murmured, "Truly surprising that a Great Elf could possess such powerful battle aura. Hmm... a promising talent. If he could submit, he would be of great use..."

Having witnessed Yan Xuan's entire performance, he felt a sense of appreciation for Yan Xuan's talent. The ambitious Sith Sima decided to take Yan Xuan under his wing, thus using powerful spatial magic to resolve the crisis for Yan Xuan. He also sent a telepathic message for Su Ke to leave.

Sith Sima is undoubtedly an ambitious man; his goal is not merely the human territory, but the entire Purple Heaven Continent!

Regarding the human territory, he has already amassed many powerful human subordinates and a vast intelligence network through years of utilizing the Hermit Guild.

However, in the elven territory, this is a complete void. Under these circumstances, he urgently needs powerful elven subordinates. Clearly, Yan Xuan's appearance perfectly fulfills this need.

It should be noted that the Great Elves are only skilled in magic. But Yan Xuan's appearance changes everything. It turns out that the Great Elves can also cultivate battle qi to such a high level!

Yan Xuan's appearance fills the void in the Great Elves' knowledge of battle qi cultivation!

If Sith Sima's idea was correct, Yan Xuan would become a target for all the Elven Empires to win over, meaning Yan Xuan would become a very important figure in the Elven Empires.

And before that, if he subdued Yan Xuan first, it would mean that his influence would also infiltrate Elven territory…

The crisis suddenly passed, and Yan Xuan stood there stunned. His first defeat made him face his shortcomings and deeply understand the fact that there are always stronger forces out there. He also realized that the strength of the Hermit Guild was far greater than he had imagined.

Even a member like Suk, whose status wasn't very high, possessed such power. Not to mention those above Suk. His

continued success had made Yan Xuan subconsciously somewhat complacent. Perhaps… he really needed to experience a defeat…

After a long period of deathly silence, everyone who witnessed it began to murmur amongst themselves.

The most frequent murmurs came from members of other gangs, mocking the Black Blood Society members. The Black Blood Society had just completely overshadowed them, and now they were determined not to miss this opportunity to vent their anger.

"Master..." Liu Mang walked behind Yan Xuan, his face full of guilt. He was the one who had caused all of this. If he hadn't been so arrogant, Zheng Ke wouldn't have punished him, and that freak Su Ke wouldn't have almost defeated Yan Xuan.

"Master." Yana approached Yan Xuan, calling softly. After a moment's hesitation, she reached out and gently took Yan Xuan's arm.

You Hun walked at the back, watching Liu Mang and Yana surround Yan Xuan. She hesitated for a moment, then finally stepped down from the arena to quell the somewhat agitated Black Blood Society members.

Yan Xuan remained silent. To others,

he appeared either stunned or deeply affected by his defeat.

But at this moment, Yan Xuan was communicating with Da Nian Zhang through their minds…

“Kid, got a shock?” Da Nian Zhang’s tone was unusually less playful and more concerned.

“What shock? It’s just that I didn’t beat that bastard. It’s just that I’m not strong enough. Failure is the mother of success… It won’t affect me…” Yan Xuan concealed his true feelings and replied nonchalantly.

“Failure is the mother of success… That’s a good saying! That’s so insightful! Without success, there is no failure. Kid, that’s the most pleasant thing you’ve ever said to me since I met you,” Da Nian Zhang praised.

Yan Xuan blushed a little, but that didn’t stop his thick skin. At this moment, he really needed some jokes to ease his mood, and said, “Of course, what I said wasn’t pleasant to hear? Who am I…”

“Hehe, kid, there are two things I admire about you the most,” Da Nian Zhang chuckled.

“What things? Only two?” "Yan Xuan asked doubtfully.

"One is that you're incredibly lucky with women... the other is that you're incredibly shameless..." Da Nian Zhang finished speaking and immediately burst into laughter. He had always been suppressed by Yan Xuan and finally found a chance to turn the tables.

"Damn! You old pervert, have I been too nice to you lately?" Yan Xuan said with a laugh, then asked seriously, "You old pervert, do you think I had a chance to defeat that guy just now?" Yan

Xuan's unprecedented seriousness made Da Nian Zhang feel very uncomfortable, but because of this, he also realized that Yan Xuan's statement that he didn't care was just to comfort him and Yan Xuan himself.

"Yes, as long as you take out the Sealing Hand... that is, the Sealing Magic Gauntlet, I can do it. I sensed that your energy strength and that guy's energy strength should be on the same level. The reason you were defeated is that your skills and combat experience are far inferior to his." "Da Nian," Zhang hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Actually, after much consideration, Da Nian had one more thing he didn't say: the person he sensed creating the spatial gate in front of Yan Xuan possessed unfathomable strength, far surpassing Yan Xuan's current energy level.

He hadn't mentioned it because he didn't yet know the person's motives for secretly saving Yan Xuan, and therefore didn't know if they were friend or foe. Furthermore, Yan Xuan had just experienced defeat, and mentioning an even more powerful being would damage his confidence.

"Technique?" "Yanxuan pondered the word repeatedly.

To be honest, he had always been too easily complacent. The result of this complacency was a desire for comfort in everything, without any effort to strive for further progress. He had miraculously acquired the Nine Yang Energy out of thin air, and Yanxuan was already very satisfied with this stroke of luck.

It could be said that, apart from his considerable greed regarding women, Yanxuan had no great ambitions for anything else.

"Victory always blinds people, while failure can make them see many things clearly. For example, the current shortcomings..." Da Nian Zhang said softly.

After a moment's hesitation, Yanxuan said firmly, "Old lecher, teach me some techniques!"

"Uh... your constitution determines that you cannot possess magic, which means you cannot learn alchemy, and consequently, I cannot teach you anything, because, apart from alchemy, I know nothing." Da Nian Zhang's words were clearly somewhat lacking in confidence.

To avoid Yanxuan getting entangled in this awkward question, Da Nian Zhang quickly changed the subject: "But why do you want to learn techniques?" "Is it because of that defeat just now?"

"Yes! I'm used to being a hero. I don't want to get beaten up like a coward every time I try to be a hero because I lack skills!"

Yan Xuan said this with neither arrogance nor servility, without the slightest blush. It was as if this ridiculous reason sounded exceptionally solemn coming from his mouth, like saying "I want to make something of myself" with a face full of conviction.

If souls could faint, Zhang's first action would be to force himself to faint...

"Master." Seeing Yanxuan remain silent, his expression shifting constantly, Yana tensed up and tugged at him slightly. Yanxuan, lost

in his own thoughts

, looked up at Yana. He was quite pleased with the concerned look on her face. It seemed that everything he had done for Yana hadn't been in vain; at least he had won her heart. A small sense of pride filled him, temporarily making him forget his disappointment and improving his mood.

Yanxuan was inherently averse to trouble. His greatest wish after being reborn into this world was to live a carefree life, a stable life like his current one, complete with occasional romantic encounters. Therefore, he would never create trouble for himself. Even if external troubles arose, he would choose to temporarily forget them if he couldn't resolve them.

"Master, you...you shouldn't do this, Yana is...so worried..." This was the first time Yana had sincerely expressed her feelings. She was still a little shy. Her pretty face flushed red, and she hesitated, finally mustering the courage to finish speaking. But she buried her head deep in her chest, not daring to look at Yanxuan again.

Seeing Yana's shyness, Yanxuan pulled her into his arms, chuckling, "Do you think your master is that fragile? Don't worry, I'm fine. Even if something were wrong, seeing how much my Yana cares for her master would have made it all disappear."

Yana struggled slightly in Yanxuan's arms, whispering, "Master, there are so many people here, don't...don't do this. If you want to hold Yana, can we go back?" The unspoken implication of those words was undoubtedly that ,

as long as they returned alone, Yana would be completely at his mercy…

Yanxuan's heart immediately raced, and his large hand roamed between Yana's slender waist and plump hips as he said with an ambiguous smile, "You said it yourself. Let's see how you serve your master when we get back."

Yana let out a soft moan and nodded in agreement. She then broke free from Yanxuan's embrace and stood beside him.

"Master, are you alright?"

Seeing Yanxuan and Yana's playful banter, Liu Mang finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. He rushed forward to express his concern, his face filled with remorse. Yanxuan

gently tapped Liu Mang's head and laughed, "Damn, why the long face? Your master isn't dead!"

"Master, it's all my fault..." Liu Mang said softly.

"What's your fault? It's alright. Don't look like that. It makes me uncomfortable. Now I realize that your playful side is much more appealing to your master!" Yanxuan said.

Meanwhile, after the events that had transpired, the written examiners belonging to the Hermit Guild, having regained their composure, completed their examinations and

stepped forward to announce the results.

Because the Black Blood Society, under the leadership of Wanderer, had mostly concealed its strength and rarely provoked other gangs, its written battles were few and far between, and its victories were even fewer.

If it weren't for their outstanding performance in the arena today, they would likely have been last. Even so, considering the combined scores of the written and physical assessments, the Black Blood Society still ranked behind the Skull Gang.

Yan Xuan didn't take the Hermit Guild seriously at all, so he was even less concerned about their assessment results.

Before the Hermit Guild members could announce their disbandment, he had already led Hexagram, Yana, and Wanderer outside. Seeing their leader do this, the Black Blood Society members naturally followed suit in a chaotic mass. This left the examiners on the arena glaring helplessly, secretly cursing Suk for not blasting the arrogant elf to smithereens!

Just as he left the Hermit Guild's territory, Yan Xuan began to feel a headache coming on.

He looked towards the Desire Tavern. Tang Jing scratched her head. "Damn it!" she thought. "What lie should I make up to explain this?"

Little did she know, Yan Xuan's disappearance had already caused a huge uproar at the Desire Restaurant.

That morning, Tang Jing, as usual, yelled at Yan Xuan to get up, only to find his room empty.

Her first thought was, "That bastard Yan Xuan has finally run away!"

Soon after, Su Ying and Lin Jiayi also learned of Yan Xuan's departure. Su Ying shared Tang Jing's thoughts. They just couldn't recall what had happened recently that would cause Yan Xuan to run away. Tang Jing's attitude towards Yan Xuan had improved considerably recently, so why didn't she run away when he was treated so badly before? Why did she run away now that things had improved?

Lin Jiayi, upon learning of Yan Xuan's departure, was filled with doubt, but secretly prayed that this devil would never appear again… However, she was controlled by this devil with a chastity curse ring; she needed to get rid of him. Unable to find true satisfaction in her body any longer, and recalling the painful experiences of enduring the torment of lust in the past, Lin Jiayi felt a growing unease that Yan Xuan had simply vanished.

"Damn it, don't let me catch him, or I'll kill him!" Tang Jing roared angrily.

"Sister Tang Jing, don't let such a lowly slave upset your health," Su Ying comforted her, searching for clues in Yan Xuan's room.

"No! I have to go after him! Bastard. I can't swallow this!" Tang Jing paced back and forth, her pretty face contorted with rage—a clear sign of an impending explosion.

"Hmm… there's a lingering scent of sleeping potion?" Su Ying suddenly remarked.

Things then became even more bizarre. Had someone used sleeping potion to kidnap Yan Xuan?

That was too unbelievable. In the entire Desire Tavern, Yan Xuan was arguably the least valuable person to kidnap…

Before long, news of Yan Xuan's disappearance spread throughout the entire Desire Tavern.

Shadow Dance was instantly heartbroken. This guy was gone… didn't that mean he had abandoned her? Countless times she had dreamed of returning to the Giant Tree Elf Empire with him and living happily ever after, but his departure shattered her dreams.

The goatee, however, was overjoyed at the news. He had long disliked that fat man; damn it, finally he was gone. He hoped he'd encounter some ferocious beasts or bandits on his escape…

In the current Desire Tavern, besides Shadow Dance, the magician Xu Jing knew Yan Xuan the most. She couldn't understand why that guy had left. But it was for the best. Now that Yan Xuan was free from her control, he became a dangerous presence she greatly feared.

Without this obstacle, her plans against Lin Jiayi, Tang Jing, and Su Ying would be much easier.

Just as Tang Jing went berserk, Su Ying was puzzled, and the others were preoccupied with their own thoughts… Yan Xuan appeared, dressed in tattered clothes…

“Damn it, how dare he run away!” Tang Jing kicked Yan Xuan to the ground again, cursing him relentlessly.

“Miss Tang Jing, I… I didn’t run away. I was really kidnapped!” Yan Xuan acted with utter grievance. The result of secretly placing a little Nine Yang Energy under his skin was that Tang Jing’s beating was like a tickle to him, causing him no pain at all.

“You were kidnapped? You bastard, you still dare to lie to me now! Do you think you’re a millionaire? Or a beauty? Do you have money or beauty?” Tang Jing raised her hand to hit him, but Su Ying stopped her, whispering, “Sister Tang Jing, just let him finish. Aren’t you curious why there’s still a trace of sleeping potion in his room?”

Tang Jing glanced at Su Ying, not wanting to offend her. Suppressing his anger, he said in a deep voice, "Speak!"

Yan Xuan said with a mournful face, "I don't know what happened. Last night, after I fell asleep, I woke up this morning in a strange place. There were two masked people standing in front of me. They... they were both holding knives..."

What a perfect start to a horror movie! Yan Xuan's face was extremely tense as he spoke, looking like he was still shaken. Anyone could tell at a glance that he had suffered a great shock.

"Masked people? Why did they kidnap you?" Su Ying asked suspiciously.

"Bastard, if you're lying, I'll beat you to a pulp!" Tang Jing said angrily, waving her fist with distrust.

"It's true, Miss Tang Jing, I swear to you with my life. What I said is true! I don't know why they kidnapped me! When I woke up, they threatened me and asked me about you. If I didn't tell them the truth, they would kill me, they definitely would. I was terrified!"

Yan Xuan trembled, his face turning ashen, as if he had returned to that terrifying moment.

Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi were simultaneously jolted. Bearing top-secret missions and concealed identities, they were incredibly sensitive to such matters. They carefully observed Yan Xuan, seeing him terrified, as if what he said was true.

So, someone really had designs on them? Had their identities been exposed?

Who was it?

Could it be someone from the Jialuo Empire? Countless

questions arose in the minds of Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi. They exchanged bewildered glances, their pretty faces grave. Yan Xuan, observing their changing expressions, felt incredibly smug. The best lies are those that blend truth and falsehood. He owed this brilliant lie to Xu Jing! Hadn't she threatened him to monitor Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi's actions? It was recalling this incident that gave Yan Xuan his inspiration.

Seeing the solemn expressions on Tang Jing and the others' faces, Yan Xuan secretly speculated that they were worried about being investigated, meaning they had secrets they didn't want anyone to know. This confirmed Yan Xuan's previous suspicions: Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi's identities were definitely not simple!

Recalling what the wandering spirit had told him—that Lin Jiayi's tattoo might be part of a treasure map—Yan Xuan became even more curious.

"What did you say?" Tang Jing's tone was icy cold, her beautiful eyes flashing with murderous intent.

Yan Xuan hurriedly said, "Miss Tang Jing, I...I didn't say anything. If I'm lying to you, I'll let you kill me!"

Not only Tang Jing, but even Su Ying and Lin Jiayi didn't believe him. If his kidnappers hadn't gotten anything, would they release him so easily?

Even a ghost wouldn't believe it!

Tang Jing slowly walked towards Yan Xuan, her arms flowing with azure battle qi. A chilling killing intent filled the room, and the temperature seemed to drop dramatically, making it feel eerily cold.

"Miss Tang Jing, think about it. Even if I said something, would those bad guys let me go? They would definitely kill me to silence me. I know that, so no matter how they threatened me, I didn't say anything. I was able to come back because... because that handsome elf suddenly appeared and saved me!" Yan Xuan said loudly.

This was his trump card in his lie. Whether he could gain Tang Jing's trust depended on this!

Sure enough, Tang Jing's eyes lit up, and her boundless killing intent suddenly weakened. She stared at Yan Xuan and asked, "What did you say? That handsome elf saved you?"

"Yes, Miss Tang Jing. That handsome elf suddenly appeared, killed those two bad guys, and let me go... Moreover, he asked me to tell you something." Yan Xuan said urgently.

"Tell me something?" Tang Jing stopped in her tracks. Looking at Yan Xuan with a puzzled expression, a hint of anticipation flickered in her eyes.

"Yes," Yan Xuan nodded repeatedly, saying, "He said not to be afraid, that he would protect you secretly..."

Hahaha, damn it! Anyway, I'm a handsome elf, making things up won't get me exposed. I might as well have some fun with you, you female tyrant. Damn it, you've been bullying me all this time, it's time to teach you a lesson!

Secretly protecting... don't be afraid... this was clearly a promise full of affection, and even though Tang Jing was usually carefree, she understood the underlying meaning. In an instant, her pretty face flushed, her murderous intent vanished, replaced by joy and shyness. This blatant display of womanly charm stirred Yan Xuan's heart. This female tyrant could be so alluring? Yan

Xuan decided to strike while the iron was hot, adding to the lewd thoughts that had just surfaced. She continued, "Miss Tang Jing, I haven't forgotten what you asked me to tell him. I told him you wish to see him. He promised that he would come to see you in person soon."

"Really?" Tang Jing blurted out, her pretty face radiant with surprise.

Immediately, she realized her lapse and tried to regain her composure. She straightened her face, her expression turning cold, but her eyes were warm and harmless, as if she had instantly transformed from a fierce beast into a docile lamb.

"Yan Xuan, is what you said true?" Su Ying asked with a serious face.

Yan Xuan realized his lie had succeeded and the crisis was averted. He was inwardly smug, but his expression remained impassive; he simply nodded repeatedly.

Su Ying glanced at Tang Jing, then at Lin Jiayi, only to see Lin Jiayi looking back at her noncommittally, clearly unsure of what to do either.

"Tang Jing, what should we do?"

Su Ying had already discerned Tang Jing's feelings for the handsome elf from her reaction to him, and now Yan Xuan had brought her delightful news. After some thought, she decided to prioritize Tang Jing's opinion.

"Ah?" Tang Jing snapped out of her daze, looking into Su Ying's eyes, realizing her feelings were no longer a secret. She became even more shy, coughed twice, and said, "Let's trust him this once. If the elf doesn't come to see me, it means Yan Xuan is lying. Then I'll make him realize that living is even more painful!"

Bingo!

Complete success!

Yan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Tang Jing, don't worry. That handsome elf will prove what I said is true!"

"I'll spare you for now! We'll be on high alert. If you try to escape, you're dead!" Tang Jing said fiercely.

Yan Xuan nodded repeatedly, recalling the wild idea that had just crossed his mind. He stole another glance at Tang Jing's sexy, full breasts, and couldn't help but swallow hard, his mind filled with erotic fantasies…

Because of Yan Xuan's situation, the Desire Restaurant didn't open until after noon.

Since it was past lunchtime, there weren't many customers, and Yan Xuan was unusually quiet today compared to usual.

"Give me a bottle of Beauty Fragrance!" a customer shouted.

Yan Xuan quickly responded, and when he checked the bar, he found it was empty, so he hurried to the storage room in the back.

When he reached the back door, Yan Xuan saw a figure quickly run away; if he wasn't mistaken, it was Ying Wu.

When Yan Xuan entered the backyard, he saw Ying Wu already sitting in front of her room, head bowed. She was silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Thinking about it, it seemed like it had been a long time since he had properly been intimate with Ying Wu. For so long, he had been so busy that he had truly neglected her.

Yanxuan quickly walked to Yingwu's side and said in a low voice, "My little princess, why don't you even look up when you see me?"

"Who are you? Do I know you!" Yingwu looked up, her face full of anger.

Yanxuan was immediately confused, not knowing what he had done to offend Yingwu. He chuckled and said, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry? Did that guy with the goatee bully you? I'll teach him a lesson for you!"

"You're the one who bullied me!" Yingwu said angrily.

Yanxuan misunderstood. He thought Yingwu was complaining about his neglect of her during this time, and hurriedly said, "Baby, didn't I tell you? I really have things to do. Do you think I don't miss you? Once I've finished everything, I'll definitely spend some quality time with my little princess!"

"Who needs you to spend time with me!" Yingwu's big eyes suddenly welled up with tears. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "Why did you come back! Damn it. Bastard! You should have just abandoned me! I shouldn't have believed you!"

Yan Xuan immediately understood why Ying Wu was angry and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had only been thinking about how to appease Tang Jing and the others, neglecting Ying Wu's presence. Sigh... It seemed she had been worried about him all along. Seeing her run here from the door, she must have been peeking at him from behind the door...

Thinking of this, Yan Xuan felt even more guilty. He knelt down and hugged Ying Wu in his arms, saying, "My little princess. I swear on my life I will never abandon you. Otherwise, why would I have come back? It's because I couldn't bear to leave you!" The

angrier a woman is, the more she craves sweet words. Yan Xuan's words eased much of Ying Wu's accumulated resentment, and she gave up suppressing it, tears streaming down her face.

Yan Xuan was at a loss, all he could do was hold Ying Wu tightly in his arms, repeatedly saying, "Believe me, my little princess. Even if I give up everything, I will never give up on you!"

"Really?" Ying Wu looked up at Yan Xuan with tearful eyes.

Yan Xuan lowered his head and gently kissed away Ying Wu's tears with his lips: "It's true, my precious little princess."

Seeing the determination in Yan Xuan's eyes, Ying Wu seemed reassured and stopped worrying. Just as Yan Xuan was about to spend some more time with Ying Wu, the sound of a door opening suddenly came from the goatee's room.

"Cough cough... Oh, fatso. You actually came back?" The goatee looked surprised when he saw Yan Xuan, his triangular eyes revealing disappointment.

"You're disappointed that I came back?" Yan Xuan said with a cold smile.

"Sigh... Born to be a slave!" the goatee chuckled sarcastically.

As he spoke, he raised his head high, full of contempt for Yan Xuan.

Yan Xuan was angry. He flicked his hand, which was hanging down, and a point of red light from the Nine Yang Energy shot out from his fingertip, accurately hitting the goatee's crotch. Just as the

goatee

was about to mock Yan Xuan again, he felt a heat in his lower body. He subconsciously grabbed it, but a flame burned his hand. He stared wide-eyed and looked down. But then he saw that a sizable flame had already ignited at the crotch.

"Yingwu, don't look! This isn't suitable for children, this guy is really..." Yanxuan shouted.

Yingwu knew immediately that Yanxuan was behind it. When the man with the goatee had mocked Yanxuan earlier, Yingwu hadn't said anything, but she had been cursing him inwardly.

That's how women are; when they're angry, they can torment their men in every way, but if someone else bullies their man, they absolutely won't stand for it.

"Ah! Goatee! You bastard, how could you do this!" Yingwu covered her eyes, as if she were terrified, completely cooperating with Yanxuan's prank on the man with the goatee.

The flame grew larger and larger. Yanxuan was secretly surprised. Damn it, does this old guy not have a penis? Or are his pants just too damn thick? How come the flesh hasn't burned yet?

Seeing the flames rising from his crotch, the goatee-bearded man yelled and rushed into the room, followed by the sound of water being poured on the fire. Then, a burnt smell filled the air, making Yan Xuan frown.

"You fatso, you're so naughty!" Ying Wu said, snuggling up to Yan Xuan.

Yan Xuan pulled Ying Wu to his side. One of his large hands gently squeezed Ying Wu's pert buttocks. He chuckled, "I also want to be naughty to my little princess..."

Ying Wu's pretty face changed color, and she instinctively covered her lower body with her hands. Yan Xuan found it amusing and whispered in her ear with a wicked smile, "Baby. The naughtiness I'm talking about is that..."

The naked lust in his eyes made Ying Wu feel Yan Xuan's ambiguous intentions, and she blushed. She spat and said, "You're dreaming. I told you, you can't bully me again until we reach the Giant Tree Elf Empire."

"Then what am I going to do if I really want it?" Yan Xuan feigned a pitiful look of unfulfilled desire.

"No way!" Yingwu said firmly.

Just as Yanxuan was getting bored, Yingwu suddenly blushed crimson. She whispered, "But... I can let you touch me..." It

was too ambiguous! Too ambiguous! This feeling excited Yanxuan immensely as he looked at Yingwu's shy appearance and felt the intense ambiguity between them. He felt a surge of lust and couldn't help but slip his hand under Yingwu's skirt, wanting to feel the elasticity of her shapely buttocks without any obstruction.

Unexpectedly, Yingwu suddenly pulled away, leaving Yanxuan's embrace, and made a face, saying, "You fatso, you lecherous fatso, if you don't want to be punished by Tang Jing, you'd better get to work! Hmph. Trying to take advantage of this princess... we'll see what I think!" After saying that, she added, "Remember your promise today, or I will kill you at all costs!" As she spoke, she ran back to her room and slammed the door shut. Yan Xuan, his heart itching at the closed door, knew this wasn't the time for intimacy with Ying Wu. Suppressing his burning desire, he entered the storage room. After grabbing a few bottles of beauty fragrance, he quickly headed towards the main hall… In the main hall of the Hermit Guild, Sith Sima was intently arranging a clever magic circle on a flower basket overflowing with blossoms. His dedication rivaled that of any artist; he meticulously crafted his work, revealing extraordinary patience. And those with patience have a greater chance of success in anything they do. Brown stood silently to the side, waiting. But his gaze was somewhat strange, glancing frequently at Sith Sima, a hesitant expression on his face. "Finished. This flower basket should be more perfect than before." Sith Sima straightened up, looking satisfied at the large flower basket now adorned with a magic circle. “Brown, you seem to have a connection,” Sima said without turning his head. Brown's body trembled. Sigh… what could he say? What that damned fat man had said about Lin Jiayi… now that he thought about it, it was utterly absurd. He almost couldn't bring himself to say it. But then he thought, that fat man was just a lowly half-elf; how could he possibly dare to lie under those circumstances? If the Guild Master could really get Lin Jiayi based on this information, then he would undoubtedly have made a great contribution and would certainly reap even greater benefits. After hesitating for a moment, Brown said in a low voice, “Respected Guild Master, I think that instead of sending this flower basket, you should send something else…” “Hmm?” Sith Sima turned around, staring at Brown, and said, “Don't you think this flower basket is beautiful?” Brown quickly shook his head and said, “The flower basket arranged by your skillful hands, Guild Master, is absolutely the most beautiful work of art in the world.” “Then what do you mean?” Sith Sima said, half-closing his eyes. “I think, as you said, when pursuing a woman, wouldn’t it be more effective to give her things she likes?” Brown asked boldly. Sith Sima stared at Brown for a moment, then smiled and said, “You have a point. You think Miss Lin Jiayi doesn’t like flowers? Then what do you think she likes? What should I give her to win her favor?” Seeing Sith Sima’s interest, Brown grew bolder and said, “Respected President, you…you think giving Miss Lin Jiayi stinky tofu, a specialty of the Garo Empire, would be good?” “Ah? Stinky tofu…” Sith Sima looked at Brown in surprise. Brown didn’t see Sith Sima’s expression at all. Since he had already said it, he might as well get to the point, and lowered his head to speak eloquently. "Or perhaps thongs made in the Firewind Empire?" "..." "President, I think you've been too gentle and refined in front of Miss Lin Jiayi? Some women like muscular men, you could try changing your style..." "..." " Oh, right. I remember now. You could also give Miss Lin Jiayi a good book..." Sith Sima's expression was already as gloomy as ice. He didn't know what was wrong with Brown today, why was he saying such nonsense? Had he eaten a leopard's gall, or had his head been kicked by a donkey? Finally, he heard something that sounded like a human being, giving her a book... But then, Brown's words almost made the usually deep-seated and emotionless Sith Sima go berserk. "President, I've already bought this book for you, 'The Married Man and the Young Widow'." Brown pulled out a hardcover book from his pocket, the cover of which was almost entirely covered in explicit erotic pictures.

"Brow!" Sith Sima could no longer contain himself, shouting angrily. His tone was icy cold, sending a chill down Brow's spine. He looked up at Sith Sima in fear, only to see Sith Sima's face dark and ashen, clearly enraged.

"President, I..." Brow hurriedly tried to explain, but Sith Sima waved him off. "Brow, do you want to die?" he said.

Brow knelt down in terror, pleading, "President, please listen to my explanation..."

"Nonsense! What explanation do you have?" Sith Sima snapped.

Brow hesitated for a moment, not daring to mention kidnapping Yan Xuan, fearing Sith Sima would blame him even more. So he embellished his story, recounting how much he respected Sith Sima. She described her loyalty to him, her desire to help him solve his problems, and how she painstakingly arranged manpower and utilized various channels to finally pry open the fat half-elf's mouth with gold coins…

“You mean stinky tofu, thongs… that half-elf told you all about these?” Sith Sima asked suspiciously.

“Absolutely true, I swear on my life, I would never dare to lie to you!” Brown said, his face pale.

“Hmm…” Sith Sima was puzzled. He was certain that Lin Jiayi was the princess of the Fias Empire. Would a princess have so many strange, even perverse, preferences?

But life in the royal palace was corrupt and decadent, the very source of various scandals. Sith Sima, who closely monitored the movements of royal palaces around the world, knew that some royal nobles had even more perverse tastes. Compared to those people, Lin Jiayi's preferences were nothing.

For a moment, even he was unsure whether the information was true or false. If it was true, he found it hard to accept; he couldn't imagine the noble and aloof Lin Jiayi having such fetishes. Was it fake? But then again, who knew if Lin Jiayi was like those two-faced nobles?

Should he give it a try?

Three hundred and one stinky tofu

was eager to win Lin Jiayi's favor. After hesitating for a long time, Sis Sima, who was carrying out his plan, was somewhat tempted.

However, he still had many reservations about giving it a try. Giving a thong would seem too aggressive. What if it was all fake? Then, a thong would completely ruin his image in Lin Jiayi's eyes.

That "Married Man and Young Widow" thing was even more effective than a thong. If he really wanted to try it... After thinking it over, only stinky tofu seemed realistic; if anything went wrong, it would be easier to make amends.

"Brownon, go get some stinky tofu from the Garo Empire..." Sith Sima hesitated before issuing the order.

Seeing that the guild master had finally accepted his suggestion, Brown secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, nodded quickly, and went outside.

It must be said, this guy was quite efficient; it didn't take long before he returned carrying a jar of stinky tofu. The jar was extremely exquisite. Judging by its appearance alone, no one would guess that it contained stinky tofu...

"Guild Master. This was a gift from a caravan from the Garo Empire when they passed through Yanan City," Brown said softly.

Sith Sima glanced at it, nodded, and turned to leave. Brown quickly followed behind...

Inside the Desire Tavern.

Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi, watching Sith Sima enter the tavern with his usual elegant demeanor, couldn't help but smile at each other and playfully nudged Lin Jiayi.

What puzzled Tang Jing and Su Ying was that Sis Sima didn't have a flower basket behind him; his attendant, Brown, was only carrying an exquisite jar. Could it be something even better than a flower basket?

Judging by the jar's beauty, was it spices?

Tang Jing and Su Ying even made a playful bet about it: Tang Jing bet that the jar contained a delicious food, while Su Ying bet that it contained something else entirely.

"Miss Lin Jiayi. It's a pleasure to see you. You look even more beautiful today than yesterday..." The praise was quite pleasing. However,

when it reached Yan Xuan's ears, he secretly cursed it as cheesy!

Lin Jiayi merely glanced at Sis Sima, her expression as cold as ever, but Sis Sima remained unperturbed, maintaining his gentlemanly smile.

"Mr. Sima, is that beautiful jar you brought for Sister Lin Jiayi?"

Tang Jing, who had made a bet with Su Ying, was eager to know what was inside the jar so she could find out who had won.

"Yes, but I don't know if Miss Lin Jiayi will like it."

Just before handing it over, Sima hesitated again, but he hadn't expected Tang Jing to come out from behind the bar, snatch the jar from Brown's hands, and say with a smile, "Then I'll accept it for Sister Lin Jiayi."

Lin Jiayi looked at Tang Jing with displeasure and said, "Tang Jing, don't accept other people's things!"

"What's there to be afraid of? Haven't we accepted enough flower baskets already?" Tang Jing laughed nonchalantly. As she spoke, she moved closer to Su Ying, whispered a few words, and then opened the jar... Stinky

tofu is stinky, but the stinky tofu from the Garo Empire is definitely the stinkiest of all!

As soon as the jar was opened, a stench wafted out, filling Tang Jing and Su Ying's noses.

"Oh my god, what is this!" Tang Jing exclaimed in shock, unable to bear the stench, she loosened her grip, and the jar fell to the ground. The juice from the stinky tofu splashed everywhere, and Tang Jing and Su Ying had no time to dodge. It inevitably splashed onto their skirts. Even Lin Jiayi, who was at the bar, wasn't spared…

The stench permeated the entire Desire Restaurant. Even the other customers started shouting in dissatisfaction.

"Yan Xuan!" Tang Jing shouted, covering her nose.

Yan Xuan hurriedly responded, secretly laughing to himself. He'd seen idiots before, but never one as idiotic as Brown. Damn! This Sith Sima is a complete moron, actually believing it.

"Mr. Sima, what do you mean by this!" Lin Jiayi questioned coldly.

Seeing the disgust in Lin Jiayi's eyes, Sis Sima realized he had done something incredibly foolish. He glared at Brown and hurriedly said, "This is the most famous specialty of the Garo Empire that my caravan brought. I really wanted to bring it for you to try. Although the smell is a bit unpleasant, the taste is really good."

Lin Jiayi looked at the stinky sauce stain on her skirt with disgust and said, "Thank you for your kindness. If you brought something like this, I'm sorry. Our Desire Restaurant does not welcome you!"

Always considering himself careful in everything he did, he never expected to make such a stupid mistake. Even if Lin Jiayi didn't drive him away, Sis Sima felt utterly ashamed. With no other choice, he bowed, his face flushed, and turned to leave.

Brown realized he had made a fatal mistake. He turned and glanced at Yan Xuan, who was cleaning up, a murderous glint in his eyes...

Yan Xuan endured the pungent stench and cleaned up the shattered stinky tofu on the ground.

“Sister Lin Jiayi, don’t be angry. He meant well. I just remembered, the Gara Empire has a famous specialty called stinky tofu,” Su Ying said.

“Yes, yes, Mr. Sima is such a good person, why would he deliberately harm us?” Tang Jing echoed. Yan Xuan cursed inwardly.

This female tyrant was so barbaric and unreasonable towards him, resorting to punches and kicks at the drop of a hat! But she was so reasonable towards that Sith Sima!

Just then, Tang Jing glared at Yan Xuan and said, "Go buy a bottle of cleaning solution! I'm telling you, you only have time for one meal. If you don't come back, I'll consider it an escape and send you to the slave market to be punished by the slave traders!"

Yan Xuan already harbored resentment towards Tang Jing, and her words only exacerbated the situation, filling him with rage. While secretly cursing Tang Jing, he became even more determined to teach this woman a lesson!

Taking the gold coin Tang Jing tossed to him, Yan Xuan silently turned and walked out of the Desire Tavern.

The street was bustling with pedestrians, and the shops on both sides were dazzling. What would normally attract Yan Xuan now held no appeal. Tang Jing's usual rudeness towards him was one thing, but today her attitude towards him and Sith Sima had changed drastically. "

Damn it, she's helping someone else cheat on me!" Yan Xuan cursed fiercely.

At that moment, Yan Xuan suddenly heard a strange hawking sound.

"Come and see! Come and buy! All kinds of martial arts manuals on clearance sale! Nine Yin White Bone Claw... Tathagata Palm... Complete Guide to Basic Martial Arts for Knights and Warriors..."

I'm stunned!

Nine Yin White Bone Claw? Tathagata Palm?

Yan Xuan was momentarily stunned. His eyes widened with curiosity as he looked towards the street. He saw an elderly man, dressed in a robe made of colorful patchwork fabrics, with a thin face and cunning eyes, squatting on the ground. Various books were laid out on a red cloth in front of him, and a crowd had already gathered around him.

Out of curiosity, Yan Xuan also went over.

The books on the red cloth were yellowed, looking quite old. Several people were curiously flipping through them, but after a quick look, they would chuckle and put the books down, ignoring the old man's shouts.

Curious, Yan Xuan squatted down. He picked up a book whose cover depicted a large hand resembling an eagle's claw. He couldn't read. Just looking at the cover, you could guess this was the manual for the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, right?

Hmm… the book's not bad, catering to both literate and illiterate readers. It's full of illustrations and text.

The first page showed what appeared to be a woman's portrait, her claws outstretched, viciously grabbing at a burly man's face…

After flipping through it for a while, Yan Xuan tossed the book aside, secretly amused. "Damn it, what kind of rubbish is this Nine Yin White Bone Claw? It just teaches women how to scratch their husbands when they fight…"

He casually picked up the Tathagata Palm book and read a few pages. Yan Xuan almost burst out laughing.

"Holy crap!

This lousy book is for shrewish women!

The Nine Yin White Bone Claw teaches shrewish women how to scratch, and this Tathagata Palm simply teaches them how to slap…"

Just as Yan Xuan threw the book back and got up to leave, the old man grabbed his arm.

The old man was feeling incredibly unlucky. He hadn't expected that there wouldn't even be a single idiot child in Yanan City who liked martial arts, forcing him to wander from place to place. His tried-and-true scams had no market here. It seemed even dinner was a problem.

Just as the old man was searching for a target, he looked left at the orcs… hmm. No, orcs were too rude; they might hit him if pushed too far. He

looked right at the elves… hmm… elves knew magic; if he tried to extort them, they might use magic to attack him if they got angry…

After searching for a long time, he finally found this half-elf flipping through a book!

Holy crap!

Half-elves were definitely the best targets to bully!

Chapter 311 A Surge of Lust Their

trashy physiques meant they couldn't use magic or martial arts. Their innate slave status instilled a sense of inferiority, making them afraid to fight back even when bullied.

Thus, Yanxuan became the old man's target, his dinner prospect.

"What are you doing?" Yanxuan, completely unaware of all this, looked at the old man with suspicion.

"You've seen so many of my secret manuals, memorized them all, and you think you can just run away? No way, you have to buy a copy!" the old man said fiercely.

Damn, this is blatant extortion!

Yan Xuan felt his anger rising, but reason told him not to lose his temper at this time and place. He could only argue, "I was just looking. Do you think I'll memorize it in such a short time?"

"Who knows if you're a genius with a photographic memory? What if you do memorize it? Wouldn't I be losing money? Stop talking nonsense, I won't let you go until you buy a copy!" the old man said shamelessly.

At this moment, many passersby were attracted to this scene and gathered around to watch the spectacle. When they saw a half-elf being extorted, they simply treated it as a farce. Even though some of them knew that Yan Xuan was a waiter at the Desire Tavern, no one came to his aid.

Getting into unnecessary trouble because of a half-elf? That would be crazy!

Seeing the onlookers pointing and whispering... Seeing no one would step in, the old man became even more shameless, and Yan Xuan was genuinely worried he might lose control and give him a good beating.

Left with no other choice, Yan Xuan quickly pulled a gold coin from his pocket, tossed it in front of the old man, grabbed a book, and dashed out of the crowd.

Damn it, he'd already paid, even if he was just going to use it to wipe his ass, he'd still take a book.

But this ass-wiping was way too damn expensive!

Yan Xuan was incredibly frustrated, while the old man was incredibly smug. He hadn't expected this half-elf to be so rich, casually throwing around a gold coin. He'd only intended to get a couple of copper coins to spend…

Filled with immense annoyance, Yan Xuan bought the cleaning solution and listlessly returned to the Desire Tavern.

He stuffed the trashy book into his pocket and began cleaning the floor with the solution.

Tang Jing, seeing how hard he was working, didn't make things difficult for him; otherwise, she didn't know if Yan Xuan would have been able to control his temper.

Finally, evening arrived.

Yan Xuan lay bored on the bed, reflecting on the day's events, and vented his frustration by punching the bed a few times.

In his boredom, he pulled out a book he'd grabbed at random. Thankfully, it wasn't the Nine Yin White Bone Claw or the Tathagata Palm. Although he couldn't read the words on the cover, the illustrations of spears and greatswords made sense. This was probably the basic martial arts of a knight warrior that the old bastard had mentioned.

He casually flipped through a couple of pages. Yan Xuan saw a figure inside, wielding a spear in his left hand and a greatsword in his right, practicing martial arts. This book was much better than the Nine Yin White Bone Claw and Tathagata Palm books; at least the movements of the figure swinging the spear and greatsword were depicted.

However, the movements were too simple; the book's content was probably not very valuable.

"Master, what are you looking at?" Yana appeared in the room at some point, and seeing Yan Xuan reading a book, she curiously approached.

Yan Xuan looked up. He casually handed the book to Yana.

"Hmm? Isn't this basic martial arts used in the human empire's military training?" Yana asked疑惑地.

"You've seen it before?" Yanxuan asked.

"Yes, I've seen it twice before. Every soldier in the human empire's army knows it," Yana said.

Damn!

Every soldier knows it?

Doesn't that mean this book is like the military boxing techniques used in my previous life's army?

But Yanxuan already knew he'd be fooled. He wasn't too disappointed now; he could only blame that old bastard who lied…

"Yana, how's it going with Hexagram?" Yanxuan changed the subject, not wanting to think about these frustrating things anymore.

Yana said, "The people Six Stars sent to sell treasures to the human empire haven't returned yet, but they reported back that things are progressing well. I estimate we'll get the funds soon."

"Master, thank you," Yana whispered, her face full of gratitude.

Yanxuan waved his hand generously. He said, "I told you not to thank me. You're my slave, you're my person, it's only right that I do things for you. I can't always have you serving me while I don't give you anything."

For some reason, Yana felt that Yanxuan was becoming more and more amiable and witty. Her affection for Yanxuan grew, and she became more and more willing to serve him.

"Master, let Yana serve you?" Yana approached Yanxuan, lowering her head and whispering.

Yanxuan looked up at Yana, feeling her rapid breathing. Even though Yana was probably saying these words willingly, it made her quite nervous. She couldn't help but tease him, saying, "Yana, look into your master's eyes and say it again."

Yana slowly raised her head, her pretty face already flushed red. She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, let Yana serve you."

Yanxuan chuckled mischievously, "How will you serve your master?"

Yana whispered, "Just like... just like before..."

Her blushing face made Yanxuan dizzy. Recalling the sensual moments he had enjoyed Yana's body before, his desire surged, and he almost lost control.

"Did you serve me before? It seems like I was always the one serving you. Look. I helped you take off your clothes, and I was always the one doing the work..." Yanxuan said earnestly.

"Master... you... you shouldn't say that. Today, today let Yana serve you properly..."

Yana interrupted Yanxuan, her watery eyes looking at him.

Yanxuan's heart fluttered. He was about to speak again... Yana's hand was already on his shoulder, gently kneading it twice. This made Yanxuan feel incredibly relaxed. Then, Yana's hand gently unbuttoned Yanxuan's shirt, tenderly taking it off.

Next, Yana gently pushed Yanxuan onto the bed.

Before Yanxuan even opened his eyes, he felt Yana's soft, moist lips lightly skimming his chest...

Yanxuan felt a tremor run through his body, followed by an incredibly comfortable sensation that instantly washed over him. He felt a tingling sensation all over his body, every pore breathing with pleasure.

Enjoying Yana's somewhat clumsy yet skillful service, Yanxuan reached his hand under Yana's body, slipping it inside her neckline. He grasped one of her full breasts in his hand, wantonly playing with and kneading it.

The relationship between a man and a woman, frankly speaking, is a special cycle: one party genuinely treats the other well, and the other naturally wants to reciprocate. This virtuous cycle leads to an increasingly better relationship.

At this moment, Yanxuan and Yana entered into a virtuous cycle. Yana was grateful and sincerely wanted to please Yanxuan.

Enjoying Yana's submissive service, Yanxuan naturally wasn't as rough as before. He was a hundred times gentler when enjoying Yana's body.

Receiving the gentle kneading of Yanxuan's large hands, Yana let out a soft moan and looked up at him. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a dreamy look, and then... she lowered her head again, moving downwards... moving...

Yanxuan's pants were unfastened by Yana's lips and teeth, gently biting and pulling them down. To cooperate with Yana, Yanxuan lifted his body, letting his pants be pulled down.

Yan Xuan, already burning with desire, was aroused. This sudden, intense stimulation, devoid of any real comfort, caused him to groan involuntarily.

His

desire was being swallowed by a warm, moist mouth. Though the mouth was too small to fully contain it, Yana relentlessly swallowed, even gagging as his desire deepened in her throat.

Even so, Yana struggled to hold back.

Enjoying Yana's deep throat, the movement of her throat gave Yan Xuan a strange pleasure. He gripped her tightly, almost ejaculating uncontrollably.

At this moment, Yan Xuan felt an overwhelming sense of pleasure, incredibly grateful to Da Nian Zhang. Without Da Nian Zhang, he would never have changed his approach to women, and he would never have enjoyed such a beautiful woman willingly serving him. He realized that the most wonderful thing in the world wasn't simply possessing a woman's body, but possessing both body and soul…

until he could no longer endure it. As Yana released her desire, Yanxuan looked up and saw her sexy lips slightly parted. A glistening liquid ran between her lips and his desire, a lewd scene that made Yanxuan unable to control himself. He abruptly sat up and pulled Yana into his arms.

Yana gently pushed away Yanxuan's hands as he pulled at her clothes, whispering, "Master, let me do it myself. I will definitely satisfy you. Yana will do her best to please you."

With that, she roughly rolled over, pinning Yanxuan beneath her, continuing to thrust while undressing herself.

Chapter 312 High-Quality Sprint

When she stood up again, Yana was completely naked. Her fair skin glowed like jade in the faint moonlight streaming through the window. Her full, perky breasts trembled slightly with her heavy breathing, the two tiny nipples hardening at the first touch of air…

Yana knelt beside Yanxuan, lowering her head to continue her oral sex, arousing Yanxuan's desire to the point of throbbing.

Her round, large buttocks were raised beside Yanxuan's hand, this ambiguous gesture prompting him to raise his hand. He kneaded Yana's elastic buttocks, and after a moment, his large hand slid down, exploring the most mysterious and alluring area.

To repay Yana's service, Yanxuan worked even harder, employing all the flirting techniques of Professor Zhang.

A moment later, Yana's body tensed, and with a soft moan, her juices flowed freely.

His fingertips were already wet with spring water. Yan Xuan moved his fingers up, gently pressing against that alluring chrysanthemum.

"Mmm..."

Yana let out a soft moan, twisting her body. Yan Xuan felt that chrysanthemum wriggle like a small mouth, taking a section of his finger inside.

"Master...I want..." Yana's eyes were hazy, already covered by the light of desire.

Yan Xuan gave a dry "Mmm." In fact, he had been strongly restraining himself, on the verge of exploding.

Yana twisted her body, straddling Yan Xuan, looking at him with shy yet expectant eyes. One hand had already reached down, gently lifting his already steel-hard desire, rubbing it a few times in the wet, mysterious area, before her lower body suddenly thrust downwards...

Oh...

The feeling of fullness made Yana let out a long moan. She placed her hands on Yan Xuan's chest, stopping her movements, until she adjusted to the huge object suddenly entering her body, then slowly began to rise and fall.

This kind of pleasure was something Yanxuan had never experienced before. Under Yana's diligent service, his understanding of love and hate deepened.

Gradually, Yana's movements became more intense.

Yanxuan breathed heavily, thrusting his lower body with all his might, matching Yana's movements. His wild hand reached out, grasping Yana's bouncing breasts, pressing her already erect nipples with his index finger while kneading her breasts with his palm.

Suddenly!

Yana's movements became even more intense. She placed her hands on Yanxuan's, guiding his hands to knead her own breasts forcefully. Her head was raised high, her hair flowing freely. Her face was full of satisfaction, her eyes glazed, clearly on the verge of climax, reaching the peak of sexual intercourse. Ah… a long, soft moan

escaped her lips . Yana's movements slowed, but each rise and fall was still expansive and powerful. Deeper…

Finally, she sat down forcefully, her body tensing. Her eyes were tightly closed, her small mouth open, unable to close for a long time.

Yanxuan felt a surge of vaginal fluid. Desire contracted in waves within Yana's body.

Having passed her climax, Yana was completely powerless. She slumped against Yanxuan's chest, her lower body limp and weak.

"Mmm...mmm...Master, Yana...Yana has no strength left..." Yana kissed Yanxuan's lips, saying intermittently, "Master, please favor Yana...Yana needs Master's strength..."

These words, these actions, were like a fuse. Yanxuan's desire burned even more intensely. He rolled over and pinned Yana beneath him.

As he spoke, he thrust deep inside her.

Yana's legs, soft and boneless, wrapped tightly around Yanxuan's waist. She used the strength of her legs to move her body up and down to meet Yanxuan's thrusts.

This continued for a moment. Yanxuan yearned for deeper penetration, for greater force.

He lifted Yana, turning her over to kneel on the bed. In this rear-entry position, he gripped her slender waist tightly with both hands. He pushed and pulled forcefully, thrusting...

As the pleasure surged intensely, as his desire was about to erupt, Yanxuan withdrew. He parted Yana's full buttocks, aiming at her alluring anus. He thrust in forcefully.

Although her desire was lubricated by her vaginal fluids, Yanxuan's weapon was simply too large, and Yana was completely unprepared. As Yanxuan thrust in, she let out a muffled groan, her body instinctively tensing...

Yana's anus was originally narrow, and this tension immediately trapped Yanxuan's desire outside. Despite such force, he only reached the tip, leaving him feeling suspended in mid-air. This made Yanxuan very uncomfortable, especially since the forceful thrust had caused a dull ache due to the dryness of her anus.

“Relax…” Yan Xuan said breathlessly, gently patting Yana’s buttocks with his palm.

This wasn’t the first time her anus had been violated, but it was different from the front; the front was easy to get used to, but the anus was difficult to adapt to in a short time.

Yana felt a tearing pain in her body, which lasted only a moment. A layer of cold sweat seeped out, and she tried her best to please Yan Xuan, trying to relax herself. But every time Yan Xuan penetrated deeper, her anus would involuntarily contract, and her body would instinctively flinch forward in pain.

Under these circumstances, Yan Xuan couldn’t achieve his goal of full penetration for a long time.

Yan Xuan wasn’t in a hurry. Although it wasn’t comfortable at first, after getting used to it, the feeling of gradual entry had a unique flavor, especially the tightness of Yana’s contractions in pain, which gave him unbearable pleasure…

“Relax a little, I’m going to use force…” Yan Xuan whispered. His hand gripping Yana’s waist tightened slightly.

"Mmm..." Yana tried her best to control her body and nodded vigorously. To please Yanxuan, she was going all out.

Yanxuan entered her little by little, and Yana's hands gripped the sheets tightly. She bit her lower lip and tried her best to meet Yanxuan's movements, pulling her body back...

but unfortunately, it was too dry inside, and such efforts didn't seem to be very effective.

In desperation, Yana disregarded everything else. In order to get rid of this tearing pain as soon as possible, and to make Yanxuan more comfortable, she shamelessly reached her hand down to her mysterious area. She moistened it with some vaginal fluid and smeared it on Yanxuan's still-exposed desire and the edge of her anus.

Watching the movement of that little hand, Yanxuan was secretly pleased and, like Yana, smeared his vaginal fluid around it.

Then he gently patted Yana's buttocks, creating waves of flesh, and then thrust hard...

Ah...

even with the lubrication of vaginal fluid, the pain was still excruciating. Yana groaned and her body trembled violently as she lay on the bed.

*Slap...slap...

* Yan Xuan first thrust slowly, enjoying the pleasure of the contractions. When he felt that Yana's anus wasn't contracting as intensely as before, he gradually loosened his movements. *

Slap slap...slap slap...*

The pain eventually ended in numbness. When her body was numb from Yan Xuan's conquest, an unprecedented, strange feeling surged through Yana's entire body.

Although this feeling wasn't as intense as the pleasure in her private parts, it had a unique flavor...

Yana's body gradually relaxed. She let out a groan.

As Yan Xuan's movements quickened, the feeling intensified. With each thrust, Yana's soul seemed to leave her body. Her groans grew louder, and her body movements became more unrestrained.

She thrust backward forcefully to meet him. Each time Yan Xuan thrust, he went all the way in. When his lower abdomen struck Yana's plump, fleshy buttocks, the ripples made Yan Xuan dizzy and even more excited and stimulated.

After several thrusts, Yanxuan unleashed his desire in that forbidden zone…

After Yanxuan ejaculated, Yana's body collapsed limply onto the bed, and Yanxuan took the opportunity to lie on her back, his hands reaching under her, playing with her breasts while enjoying the tranquility after his climax.

Morning.

After a night of indulgence, Yanxuan felt no ill effects; on the contrary, he was radiant with energy due to his first experience of such high-quality sex.

All the unpleasantness of yesterday had vanished overnight.

Women truly are a cure for a man's heart, Yanxuan sincerely praised. As

soon as it was light, Yanxuan was wide awake. He touched the spot where Yana had been lying, feeling the lingering warmth of his hand, got up from the bed, tidied his clothes, washed up, and left the room. He went into the restaurant lobby to clean and bustle, preparing for opening.

Tang Jing and the others looked at Yanxuan with surprise as they walked down the stairs, unable to understand why he was so happy.

To be honest, Yanxuan's diligence should have pleased Tang Jing, but what Tang Jing couldn't stand was the tune Yanxuan hummed while working—it was just too…unpleasant to hear.

"Damn it, what are you yelling about so early in the morning!"

After Xu Jing and the circus members finished breakfast and left the Desire Restaurant, Tang Jing couldn't stand it anymore and shouted.

Chapter 313 Threatening

Yanxuan, in a very pleasant mood, didn't take Tang Jing's scolding to heart at all. Damn it, if I can't sing, I won't sing. I'll just hum in my heart. As for you, a woman destined for misfortune, I won't hold it against you…

The first customer of the day arrived unusually early.

Oh. To be precise, it should be the first group of customers.

Not long after Xu Jing and the circus members left, before Yanxuan had even completely cleaned up the tableware they had used, Li Jie entered the Desire Restaurant with the members of the Extermination Team.

Li Jie's face was extremely pale. Her eyes were somewhat empty, occasionally flashing with a trace of sadness. It had only been a few days. Li Jie had clearly lost a lot of weight, and even her once-impressive breasts weren't as large as before.

Her steps were somewhat slow, and she would sometimes furrow her brow slightly, a look of pain flashing in her eyes.

It seemed that Yan Xuan's treatment of her that night had been too brutal, so much so that the pain of her deflowering hadn't subsided even now.

When Yan Xuan saw Li Jie, his expression froze.

He had assumed that after what happened that night, Li Jie would return to the Elven Empire in despair, but he hadn't expected her to still be in Yharnam City.

The presence of the extermination squad meant that the Night Elves were in constant danger. Their existence would definitely affect the Night Elves' relocation to their hidden locations within Yharnam City.

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

Li Jie looked so haggard, completely devoid of her former arrogance. She resembled a pitiful woman suffering greatly.

This caused Tang Jing, who had always disliked Li Jie, to abandon her mockery after a quick glance.

Li Jie remained utterly silent, as if she had entered her home, not a restaurant. Upon entering, she went straight to the second floor and sat by the window. Her eyes were fixed on the outside, seemingly lost in thought.

"Yanxuan, quickly go and greet the guests," Su Ying said.

Yanxuan snapped out of his reverie, hurriedly responded, and quickly went upstairs to Li Jie's side. He bowed and said, "Miss Li Jie, welcome back. What would you like?"

Looking down from his angle, he caught a glimpse of Li Jie's fair skin beneath her low neckline, causing Yan Xuan to involuntarily recall that night…

Li Jie looked up, and Yan Xuan quickly averted his gaze, afraid she would discover his earlier blatant attempt to take advantage of her, causing unnecessary trouble.

"Just some breakfast, please," Li Jie said casually.

"Our breakfast includes freshly baked bread, milk, and vegetable soup…" Yan Xuan habitually introduced.

"Anything is fine!" Li Jie suddenly snapped, startling Yan Xuan and drawing everyone's attention. Li Jie lowered her head again.

Yan Xuan glanced at her, turned, and quickly walked downstairs. Anything is fine? Then he'd get the most expensive…

Most of the members of the extermination squad looked at Li Jie curiously, with most thinking this elven royalty was far too fragile, her mental fortitude lacking.

Because of one failed assassination attempt, her personality changed drastically. She became haggard and somewhat hysterical. During the meetings these past two days, Li Jie often spaced out and sometimes flew into a rage. These esteemed members of the assassination squad, if not for her status as a princess, would likely have already removed her from her position as squad leader.

"Squad Leader, although the elven chieftain escaped, it's not entirely your fault. We can still find traces of the Dark Elves using other methods, so please don't be discouraged..." a member at the next table kindly said.

That night, Yan Xuan killed Monrek and raped Li Jie. When Li Jie awoke from her coma, she was forced to accept this painful reality. To cover it up, she secretly disposed of Monrek's body and, enduring the pain of deflowering, cleaned up every trace in the room.

She told everyone that Monrek had escaped, and the assassination squad members didn't suspect the elven royal. Therefore, Li Jie successfully concealed everything; no one knew what had happened to her.

Furthermore, Li Jie was determined to cover up the secret at all costs. If this matter were to get out, she would have no future…

The deep-seated hatred and the anxiety about how to keep the secret forever made her silent and unpredictable.

What she wanted most now wasn't to annihilate the Dark Elves, but to find the handsome elf who had tormented her and kill him by any means necessary, both to avenge herself and to forever conceal the secret, effectively silencing him.

A moment later, Yan Xuan served the members of the extermination team the most expensive, yet least cost-effective, food.

Standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, Yan Xuan waited with his head down for the guests' instructions.

His hand, however, gently slipped into his waistband, clutching the chastity charm ring in his palm.

“Wow, kid. Everyone says you've got some pretty good luck with women, they've even come knocking on your door. I bet you've gotten that girl hooked…” Da Nian Zhang said lewdly.

Yan Xuan frowned and said, "You old lecher. I find your words really unpleasant to hear these days! Damn, you like to joke, don't you? Do you think joking in the sunshine would make you feel better?"

Da Nian Zhang clicked his tongue and said, "Kid, how can you be so humorless? Don't you know that humor has a fatal attraction for women? I'm just here to fill you in on your knowledge, you know?"

"You old lecher, get rid of that woman for me! I don't want her to appear in Yanan City!" Yan Xuan glanced at Li Jie subconsciously.

"Get rid of her? Are you kidding me? Such a charming girl, you actually want to get rid of her? If it were me, I would want her to appear in front of me often." Da Nian Zhang said exaggeratedly.

"I'm not joking!" Yan Xuan shouted angrily.

Sensing Yan Xuan's anger, Da Nian Zhang became quiet, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I know what you're thinking. Isn't it all for those Dark Elves of the Dark Elf race? However, I can't do what you're saying."

Yan Xuan's eyes widened in disbelief as he said, "Use the magic of the Chastity Ring!"

"The magic of the Chastity Ring is to keep women by your side, not to drive them away! Think about it. You treated Lin Jiayi precisely to make her unable to leave you, didn't you?"

Yan Xuan hesitated for a moment, then believed Da Nian Zhang's words. It seemed the greatest function of the Chastity Ring was to train and control a woman's body, making it difficult for her to leave him. In that case, using the Chastity Ring against Li Jie wasn't a good method. He had no mood to train this woman right now. After a moment, Yan Xuan sighed helplessly. He said, " I

'll have to do it myself."

Zhang said, "Kid, if you really decide to do this, you have to be careful! Don't underestimate the Extermination Group just because you got the better end of them last time. In fact, a large portion of the members of the Extermination Group possess more magical energy than you. A natural archer and a magic elf—that combination could easily take you down."

Yan Xuan paused, his face darkening. Having tried and failed before, he didn't want to relive that feeling. Besides, he was lucky enough to be saved by someone during Sukdi's attack last time. This time, he wouldn't be so lucky against the Extermination Group.

Failure would mean certain death!

Zhang suddenly chuckled wickedly and said, "Kid, it seems you bought a secret manual..."

Mentioning this embarrassing and frustrating matter, Yan Xuan became annoyed and said angrily, "You old lecher, are you keen on mocking me?"

"No, no, you misunderstood me. I'm just curious about that old man selling books," Zhang said.

"What's he curious about? A blackmailer, a cunning old bastard!" Yan Xuan cursed. Da

Nian Zhang grinned wickedly and said, "I'm just curious why his eye is so good, he recognized you, you unlucky fellow, at a glance... Ooh..." Da Nian Zhang made a despicable final joke on Yan Xuan. Then he fell silent.

Yan Xuan was so angry that his teeth itched, wishing he could immediately throw the Chastity Ring into the sunlit street, but he couldn't bear to. After so much time together, he and Da Nian Zhang were basically birds of a feather. A teacher-student and friend-like feeling had already developed in their hearts.

It was probably after sensing this that Da Nian Zhang dared to be so unrestrained with Yan Xuan.

Because of Li Jie's gloomy face, a heavy atmosphere permeated the killing squad. This atmosphere affected the entire Desire Tavern. As noon approached, although customers came in droves, they all hesitated when they saw the presence of a group of cold and gloomy-faced great elves.

Tang Jing almost couldn't contain herself several times, but Lin Jiayi and Su Ying managed to persuade her to stay calm.

This oppressive atmosphere persisted until the afternoon before Li Jie and the members of the extermination squad finally left...

Chapter 314 Darling, We Meet Again

As night fell.

Yan Xuan waited until he heard the even snoring coming from Tang Jing, Lin Jiayi, and Su Ying's room, then transformed into his elf form. With Yan Na's help, he put on a silver robe. To be on the safe side, Yan Xuan dared not be careless this time, putting on the sealing magic gloves and making thorough preparations.

A moment later, Yan Xuan flashed out the window first, followed closely by Yan Na.

The mansion where the extermination squad was temporarily staying was brightly lit.

Since the last incident, Li Jie seemed to have developed a phobia of the dark. She wanted every corner of the entire mansion to be clearly illuminated.

Li Jie's room was located in the main hall, while the other members of the extermination squad's rooms were distributed around it. This way, they could quickly look after each other, and psychologically, Li Jie wouldn't be too afraid.

At this moment, the sound of rushing water came from Li Jie's room.

The bathroom was filled with steam, subtly revealing Li Jie's sexy body. She was frantically scrubbing her body. Her once fair skin was now bright red, with faint traces of blood seeping from some spots.

This was her daily ritual for the past few days. Her body was defiled. The most disgusting moment for her was when she awoke to find dried white filth on her lips and body…

This scrubbing, though incredibly painful, alleviated Li Jie's revulsion and made her feel much better.

The sound of water stopped.

Li Jie, draped in a light white veil, slowly walked out of the bathroom and sat on the bed in the bedroom.

A moment later, the veil slipped down, revealing Li Jie's beautiful body. She looked down at herself; besides the redness from scrubbing and a few streaks of blood, her full breasts and rounded thighs still bore bruises left by Yan Xuan's previous acts of cruelty.

Li Jie's hand slowly touched each of those bruises. Then, gritting her teeth, she forcefully pinched each bruise, making them more noticeable. When she finished, sweat beaded on her forehead, and her eyes blazed with hatred.

"My body. Never forget the humiliation I suffered. My heart needs pain to constantly remind me of hatred! I won't let you go. I won't!" Li Jie said through gritted teeth.

The dim lighting, the sexy, naked woman, the unimaginable actions, the flames of hatred leaping in her eyes… everything seemed incredibly eerie.

Yan Xuan, utilizing the special abilities of the Yana Night Elf race at night, successfully entered the courtyard and lurked in a hidden corner of the roof of Li Jie's room. He dug a small crack in the roof and saw everything through it. He immediately felt a chill run down his spine. "

Damn it, has this woman been driven mad by some kind of stimulation…?"

For a moment, Yan Xuan felt uneasy. But recalling Li Jie's arrogance… The ruthlessness he showed towards the Night Elves completely dispelled any unease he felt.

In this world, the strong rule. Because he was stronger than Li Jie, he could torment her. If Li Jie were stronger, Yan Xuan believed her methods against him would be even more vicious and merciless.

Not long after, the lights in Li Jie's room went out, plunging everything into darkness.

After a moment's hesitation, Yan Xuan took out his chastity charm and, based on his understanding of chastity charms, found Li Jie's virginity mark and gently rubbed it…

The once quiet room began to stir.

Li Jie tossed and turned in bed, her body exhibiting a reaction that terrified her. In fact, such a reaction wasn't unusual for someone her age; physiological reactions often occurred at night.

However, this reaction reappeared just days after her ordeal, leaving Li Jie bewildered and helpless.

Yan Xuan slightly increased the intensity, and Li Jie's movements became more frequent, her breathing increasingly rapid. It was crystal clear in the quiet night.

Hearing Li Jie's familiar panting, Yana, beside Yan Xuan, felt a surge of heat. Looking at the chastity ring in Yan Xuan's hand, Yana immediately understood the reason for Li Jie's reaction, blushing furiously, her body instinctively moving towards Yan Xuan.

Sensing Yana's movement, Yan Xuan turned his head and smiled ambiguously at her, slipping the chastity ring onto his index finger and rubbing it with his thumb. His other hand embraced Yana, wrapping around her body, and through her clothes, kneaded her breasts.

He did this so that Li Jie wouldn't notice. This affected Yan Xuan's actions. Yana felt the pleasure surging on her breasts, her rosy lips tightly closed, enduring the sensation with all her might. Under Yan Xuan's kneading, her body went limp and weak, as if boneless, collapsing against him.

Yan Xuan used the chastity ring to influence Li Jie while simultaneously caressing Yana's body. Both hands were busy, Li Jie's panting in his ear, her warm fragrance filling his embrace. It was truly an unparalleled pleasure. Excited, Yan Xuan even felt an urge to shout.

Suddenly,

Yana boldly slipped her hand inside Yan Xuan's clothes. Yan Xuan felt a small, cool hand tightly gripping his lower desire, moving slowly with a rhythmic tug-of-war. This sensation was even more stimulating .

In his excitement, the hand rubbing the chastity ring unconsciously increased its pressure. Finally, Li Jie on the bed could no longer bear it, letting out a low moan, followed by the sound of the blankets being tossed, and then a scream. Yanxuan knew. It must be that Li Jie couldn't bear the torment of her physical desires. Like Lin Jiayi before her, she tried to relieve herself, only to be harmed by the backlash of the chastity ring's magic. You see, for a woman controlled by the chastity ring, that mysterious area—besides Yanxuan, even she herself couldn't attempt to break through it. Li Jie's screams were incredibly clear in the quiet night, and the entire mansion instantly descended into chaos. "Commander!" the members of the extermination squad shouted loudly outside. Li Jie hadn't expected things to turn out this way. After a moment's hesitation, she weakly replied, "I'm fine." Then, after a brief pause, she got up, put on her clothes, and slowly walked to the door, opening it. "I'm fine. I just had a nightmare..." Li Jie said dismissively. Yanxuan watched Li Jie's perfunctory response to the extermination squad members outside, a cold smile playing on his lips. He rubbed the chastity ring vigorously in his hand. "Hmm..." Li Jie felt an unbearable itch rising in her lower body, a desire from the depths of her heart tormenting her soul. This sudden itch made her body tremble. She couldn't help but let out a soft moan. Her body arched slightly, her legs clamping tightly together. Having obtained virgin blood several times, Da Nian's energy had greatly increased, causing the chastity ring's magic power to rise accordingly. Now, the stimulation the chastity ring exerted on the controlled person's body was far more severe than what Lin Jiayi had endured. "Captain, what's wrong?" "No... really nothing, thank you all for your concern. I haven't been sleeping very well lately, I often have nightmares, so please don't be too nervous." Sharp nails had already pierced her palms, the excruciating pain keeping her focused, preventing any further loss of composure, and her tone became coherent. Seeing Li Jie say this, the magic elves of the extermination squad indeed didn't detect any energy fluctuations in the space around Li Jie, meaning that Li Jie wasn't being threatened when she said this; it was entirely her own intention.

"Then, please rest, Commander." The members of the extermination squad exchanged glances, nodded, and then turned to Li Jie.

"Thank you again!" Li Jie hurriedly said, then turned and tightly closed the door. Afraid of losing her composure again, she preferred to forgo politeness.

With the door closed, Li Jie leaned against it. Listening to the footsteps outside gradually fade away, her strength gave out, and with a soft moan, her body slid weakly down the door to the ground.

"Darling, we meet again..."

Li Jie felt a gentle breeze on her face, and a dark shadow flashed before her eyes. Yan Xuan and Yana appeared simultaneously in front of her. Yan Xuan was holding Yana, his large hands brazenly kneading her breasts, his eyes looking at Li Jie with an ambiguous gaze.

"You..."

Li Jie's face turned deathly pale. Although her hatred for Yan Xuan was deeply ingrained, her subconscious fear of him was even stronger. The ravaging of that night was still fresh in her memory, and the smiling Yan Xuan before her was like the most ferocious demon to her.

Li Jie slowly stood up, her eyes flickering, waiting for an opportunity to open the door or shout to attract the attention of the extermination squad members.

Her thoughts, of course, did not escape Yan Xuan's notice. He smiled and slowly raised his hand, and in the dim light, the chastity ring emitted an eerie halo.

Chapter 315 The Interest of the Treasure Map

Whoosh…

Yan Xuan's thumb rubbed fiercely against the chastity ring.

Li Jie, who had just stood up, suddenly let out a soft moan, her body going limp as she sat down on the ground, her eyes filled with utter horror as she looked at Yan Xuan.

"The Chastity Ring, it was you who gave it to me. I'll slowly tell you its effects," Yan Xuan said with a smile. "I know you really want to scream. To be honest, I also hope you can attract more people. There's something I really want more people familiar with your wife to see..."

Then, Yan Xuan took out the extremely lewd image of Li Jie that he had captured with a magic scroll before leaving, and with a slight flick of his arm, the magic scroll opened.

The room was dark, but the outside was brightly lit, and the light from outside shone into the room, illuminating the magic scroll. This made the image on it incredibly clear.

Li Jie was naked, her large breasts and buttocks, as well as the darkness of her lower body, were extremely clear. Especially her legs were wide open, making the image so clear that even the external structure of her most private area and the dried bloodstains on it could be seen.

Her eyes were tightly closed, but her sexy lips were slightly parted, and milky white fluid dripped from the corners of her mouth, flowing onto her full breasts. The white marks between her lips and breasts were shocking…

Li Jie’s pupils dilated further, an unprecedented sense of shame making her feel utterly ashamed in front of her enemy.

Yana glanced at Li Jie, then at the magic scroll, unable to fathom how Yan Xuan could possess such a scroll. Having experienced it herself, she could clearly see it. The scroll depicted Li Jie after being raped.

“Scream, I’ll show these to your companions. Hmm… by the way, I’m considering mass-producing this magic scroll and sending it to various elven empires. It’s no exaggeration to say that Miss Li Jie will become a household name, the object of every man’s sexual fantasy…” Yan Xuan said to himself.

“No!”

Li Jie screamed sharply.

Footsteps sounded outside again. Yan Xuan quickly said, “If you don’t want things to turn out the way I’ve described, starting tomorrow, you must leave Yanan City immediately! Otherwise, the consequences will be far worse than I’ve described!”

The voices of the extermination team members came again from outside.

Yan Xuan smiled faintly. He made a shushing gesture with his index finger to his lips, his mouth opening and closing, the words "It's up to you..."

He then turned and smiled at Yana. He led Yana slowly backward, retreating to a shadowy corner of a room.

Li Jie's eyes darted around in pain, her expression a complex mix of emotions.

Only after the members of the extermination squad outside shouted several times did Li Jie slowly stand up, grasping the door panel, open the door, and try to appear natural, saying, "I'm sorry. I think I had another nightmare..."

After her explanation, the members of the extermination squad left. Watching their retreating figures, Li Jie glanced back at the spot where Yan Xuan was hiding in the room, her eyes shifting several times. Finally, she called out, "Please wait!"

Her voice made Yan Xuan and Yana break out in a cold sweat, tensely preparing for a fight.

Especially Yan Xuan, his eyes flashing with murderous intent; he had already decided that Li Jie would be his first target!

"Commander, what's the matter?" a member of the extermination squad asked疑惑地.

"We...we...we're leaving Yharnam City tomorrow. Returning to the elven territory!" Li Jie's eyes were full of helplessness.

The members of the extermination squad didn't object to this order. In fact, a considerable number of them had this in mind. The last extermination attempt failed, and the Night Elves had disappeared again. Even Monrik, who could find the

Night Elves, had inexplicably escaped. They weren't happy about being left in Yharnam City, painstakingly searching for the Night Elves. The extermination squad was formed only after finding traces of the Night Elves. How to find them was the servants' job.

After discussing among themselves for a while, the members of the extermination squad accepted the order and went back to prepare.

Li Jie stood blankly at the door. The lights in the courtyard were already bright, but she felt her heart sinking into darkness...

"You did well, Miss Li Jie. Well then, goodbye..." Yan Xuan emerged from the shadows, smiling.

Li Jie's body trembled slightly. She didn't even have the energy to look back at Yan Xuan, responding with silence.

Yan Xuan had achieved his goal. Too lazy to waste any more time, he nodded to Yana and quietly left the way he came.

After Yan Xuan disappeared from the room, Li Jie suddenly turned her head, looking at the spot where he had left, and muttered viciously, "I will definitely kill you! I will make the entire Dark Elf race pay for your death!"

"Master, how did you obtain that magic scroll?"

After following Yan Xuan for a long time, Yana finally couldn't help but ask.

Yan Xuan stopped and turned to look at Yana with a smile. Yana felt a little guilty under Yan Xuan's gaze and said in a low voice, "Master, Yana didn't mean anything by it, I was just curious. I will agree with whatever Master does and will completely obey your orders..."

Hearing Yana's declaration of loyalty, Yan Xuan felt very pleased. He smiled and took Yana's hand, saying, "If you knew the magic of the Chastity Ring, you would naturally know how that scroll was obtained. I guess you've already guessed it, right? Well, let me tell you, you're right..."

"You mean... you... you..." Yana exclaimed.

A cold smile appeared on Yan Xuan's lips as he said, "What? You have a problem with that?"

"No, no problem, I just find it a little unbelievable. Master is truly powerful, able to easily do such a thing even in the situation of the extermination group." Yana said in a low voice.

Damn it, without that old lecher, I wouldn't have that ability... Yan Xuan blushed a little. But he didn't want to tell Yana about Da Nian Zhang's existence yet, so he had no choice but to shamelessly accept Yana's praise.

Things went much more smoothly tonight than expected; the planned battle never materialized.

This pleased Yan Xuan greatly. Seeing that it was still early, an idea suddenly popped into his mind. After a moment's hesitation, he pulled Yana towards the Black Blood Society headquarters.

Yan Xuan didn't go to see Liu Mang; he parted ways with Yana outside Liu Mang's small garden, instructing her to go to Liu Mang's place to discuss the migration of the Dark Elf race.

Then, he turned and ran towards You Hun's residence…

In You Hun's room, she was engrossed in drawing blueprints at the table, preparing to reconstruct the treasure map based on her memories.

Since she had already risked cooperating with Yan Xuan, it was best to reconstruct the blueprints for easier research.

Yan Xuan knocked on the window, and You Hun, startled, quickly shoved the blueprints back up. Then, using her concealed, shrill voice, she coldly asked, "Who is it?"

Imagining the stunningly beautiful woman deliberately making such a grating sound, Yan Xuan found it amusing. After coughing twice, he said seriously, "It's me, please open the door."

The door opened quickly, and You Hun glared at Yan Xuan fiercely before reverting to her original voice, coquettishly saying, "Do you always like doing these sneaky things?"

"Who's sneaking around? I knocked, how perfectly aboveboard!" Yan Xuan chuckled and slipped into the room.

Ignoring You Hun's murderous glare, he casually sat down in a chair, took out the blueprint You Hun had hidden, and examined it closely.

He had only vaguely seen the blueprint while peeking from outside, but now, examining it closely up close, Yan Xuan became increasingly certain. The tattoo on Lin Jiayi's body was definitely part of this blueprint.

"Is this really a treasure map?" Yan Xuan asked seriously.

The wandering soul rolled its eyes at him, nodded, and said, "Do you think I'd be so bored as to use a treasure map to deceive people?" At the same time, it was inwardly surprised. Did this guy really not know about the treasure map? Were all its previous assumptions wrong?

Yan Xuan remained silent, staring intently at the treasure map.

The wandering soul assumed that Yan Xuan knew the secret of the treasure map and must be starting to regret their cooperation, so it became somewhat nervous and secretly wary.

"Alright, let's cooperate. When we get the wealth, we'll split it in half..." Yan Xuan said, looking up.

The wandering soul looked at Yan Xuan in surprise.

"What? You don't want to?" Yan Xuan chuckled.

"I'm warning you, if you're plotting anything, I'll take you down with me!" the wandering soul said.

Chapter 316 Blood Curse

Yan Xuan smiled and said, "It seems you really don't trust me. Whatever. Didn't you say there was some kind of blood curse? Let's start now. I don't want to see your suspicious eyes every day."

"Are you serious?" The wandering soul's eyes lit up. He said, "You should know that after the blood curse is cast, if you harm me, the magic of the blood curse will cause you even more serious harm than I have!"

"Alright, alright, let's begin. You're such a nagging woman; be careful no man will want you later!" Yan Xuan teased.

"Get lost!" You Hun said coquettishly, but her eyes couldn't hide her joy. It seemed her previous impression of Yan Xuan was truly wrong. Putting everything else aside, the fact that Yan Xuan dared to make a blood curse with her meant she had misunderstood him before.

Under Yan Xuan's urging gaze, You Hun hesitated for a moment before beginning the necromancy oath—the blood curse!

You Hun chanted the incantation softly. The lengthy incantation made Yan Xuan very uncomfortable while waiting. He tried his best to suppress his irritation and patiently waited for the incantation to end.

He never intended to harm the wandering soul; on the contrary, what he truly wanted was to steal the soul's core. Under these circumstances, the blood curse seemed harmless to Yan Xuan. Hehe. As for the side effects of the blood curse, well, if the wandering soul were injured, it would also affect Yan Xuan. Wasn't this a good reason to keep the wandering soul by his side?

As the incantation was completed, the black mist gradually thickened, emanating from the wandering soul's body. Gradually, the entire room was filled with a dense black mist, the icy aura of the undead permeating the room.

When the black mist became so thick that one could hardly see their own hand in front of their face, the wandering soul extended its index finger. The fingertip suddenly split open, and a drop of blood shot out like lightning…

The drop of blood disappeared instantly into the dense mist after being shot out.

After absorbing the blood drop, the black mist slowly condensed, forming a humanoid shape about half a person's height.

Then, the humanoid mist suddenly burst forth with a blood-red light. Its entire body turned dark red, flickering with a red glow!

"I want your blood!"

the wandering spirit shouts as it casts the blood curse.

Yan Xuan froze, inwardly groaning. Damn it, he didn't know the wandering spirit's methods!

Blood?

Yan Xuan hesitated. With a mournful face, he put his index finger into his mouth. He frowned and bit down hard… *

splat*…

Yan Xuan spat out the blood that had entered his mouth, onto the humanoid mist, which shone brightly. The two equally red, but different in brightness, lights repelled and merged… Gradually, the two lights merged into one, and the humanoid mist suddenly exploded, splitting into two balls that rushed towards Yan Xuan and the wandering spirit.

Yan Xuan felt a chill between his brows; the red mist had entered his body. Opening his eyes, he saw the room had returned to normal. Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream. The wandering spirit, meanwhile, had its eyes closed, its body silent.

"Is this the Blood Curse?

It sounds terrifying, but when you actually cast it, you feel nothing at all." Yan Xuan wondered, looking at the wandering soul again. The wandering soul had already opened its eyes, and there was an unprecedented tenderness in them, completely different from its previous coldness.

"The Blood Curse's effect is that you can't hurt me, and I won't hate you. I didn't understand before, but the feeling now is really strange..." the wandering soul said in surprise.

Damn!

This Blood Curse is so awesome! Anyone who says the Blood Curse is terrifying, I'll fight them! It's practically a must-have for picking up girls.

Yan Xuan was overjoyed. But he didn't show it on his face. He just smiled and said, "Why do you hate me? From beginning to end, I just wanted to help you!"

"Want to help me? There's no such thing as a free lunch!" the wandering soul said in surprise.

“Ever since I learned you were a woman, I really wanted to help you, but you mistook that feeling for pity. Pity, sympathy, whatever, it's just that I really can't bear to see you suffer like that again…”

Yan Xuan’s expression was incredibly knowing; he seemed to be increasingly understanding the true meaning of stealing hearts. Women are always so easily changed…

A shy look appeared in You Hun’s eyes. She rolled her eyes at Yan Xuan and deliberately changed the subject, saying, “Now we can get down to business.”

As she spoke, she walked to Yan Xuan’s side and reached for the treasure map.

Yan Xuan seized the opportunity to grab her hand and forcefully pulled You Hun into his arms, saying with a wicked smile, “Before we get to business, there’s something more important…”

You Hun’s eyes were filled with panic. She tried to struggle, but Yan Xuan was already prepared, his arms holding her firmly like shackles.

“You… what are you going to do? You can’t hurt me…” You Hun said in a panic.

Yanxuan laughed, "How could I bear to hurt you?" As he spoke, he tightly embraced Youhun's body, opened the secret chamber, and dragged her inside despite her resistance.

Inside the chamber,

darkness and silence reigned…

Youhun seemed to have reached a certain understanding; her eyes held a resigned acceptance of everything.

Unexpectedly, Yan Xuan suddenly released her, causing her to stumble and nearly fall to the ground.

Yan Xuan cursed Da Nian Zhang's ridiculous bet inwardly. If it weren't for that bet, wouldn't he have been able to take advantage of the situation and have his way with her?

"Bastard!" The wandering soul, regaining her balance, felt she had been toyed with, and the humiliation made her glare angrily at Yan Xuan.

Yan Xuan suppressed his desire and said with a wicked smile, "Silly girl. Do you really think I'm the kind of person who disregards a woman's feelings and takes whatever I want?"

These words were so damn hypocritical that Yan Xuan felt a burning sensation after saying them, but fortunately, the room was dark, and the wandering soul didn't notice.

"There's no one here now. Can you restore my appearance? Such a beautiful woman, now covered by such magic, I really feel uncomfortable..." Yan Xuan stared at the wandering soul as he spoke.

"Why should I show you!" the wandering soul said defiantly. But perhaps driven by a woman's strong will, a flash of black light appeared on her face, the magical concealment vanished, revealing her stunningly beautiful true face. Yan Xuan's heart fluttered, and he secretly exclaimed, "It was all worth it!"

Seeing her so tense, Yan Xuan couldn't help but feel a mischievous urge, a lewd smile spreading across his face. He moved closer to the wandering soul.

The wandering soul retreated, her pretty face filled with panic…

Suddenly!

Taking advantage of her momentary lapse in attention, Yan Xuan took a step forward and reached out to pull her firmly into his arms.

"Bastard, let me go! I knew you were up to no good!" the wandering soul cried out, pounding on Yan Xuan's chest.

Yan Xuan tilted his head back, letting her pound on him. In this situation, like countless lecherous men, he was content as long as his face wasn't hurt.

"I will die in front of you!" the wandering soul swore, her grip

tightening, striking Yan Xuan with even greater force, making him grimace but unwilling to let go. Yan Xuan used his strength to lift the wandering soul up, ignoring her struggles, and pressed her against the nearby stone platform.

The wandering soul panicked even more. She screamed loudly and struggled violently.

*Rip*...

a sharp sound of fabric tearing open, the wandering soul's black robe ripped open at the back, revealing her pale skin.

"Bastard, you want me to kill myself in front of you! Let me tell you, if I die, the blood curse will make you wish you were dead!" the wandering soul shouted.

*Smack...

* A red handprint appeared on the wandering soul's fair and pert buttocks. Yan Xuan said like a parent scolding a child, "Is it always about wanting to die? If you want to die so badly, why use a blood curse? Didn't you use a blood curse to prevent me from killing you?!"

"Waaah... Bastard, let me go, or I'd rather die..." The wandering soul revealed her womanly nature and began to sob.

*Smack...

* Another crisp sound, and the wandering soul's buttocks were struck again.

Yan Xuan shouted, "What are you yelling about? It's like I'm about to rape you. Have you forgotten that the energy in your body is still not quite in balance? If you keep yelling, I'll spank your buttocks until they're swollen..."

The wandering soul's crying stopped abruptly. She tried her best to tilt her head back and look at Yan Xuan.

Yan Xuan smiled, leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I really want you, but I want you to be willing... What I want even more is your heart..."

Heavens!

Earth!

"Let a bolt of lightning strike Yanxuan dead!

This guy is just too infuriating; he's the epitome of getting the better deal and then acting innocent!

" The wandering soul, hearing Yanxuan's words, was startled and stubbornly retorted, "You're dreaming!"

Yanxuan, unconcerned, decided to play the amorous seed to the end, softly saying, "Just pretend it's a dream, I'd rather sleep forever than wake up..."

Uh...that sounds like a song lyric...

but using lyrics from his past life here still has a noticeable effect!
