Han Xifeng knew that these thoughts were not right, but she couldn't stop them. She felt a surge of power within her as if the darkness that had taken over her heart was now empowering her. She knew that she had to reign in these thoughts before they consumed her completely, but she couldn't resist the temptation of revenge.

With a heavy heart, Han Xifeng finally managed to calm herself down. She looked at her wings, which were now a shade of grey, and sighed. She knew that she had to find another way to deal with the Night Dagger Clan, one that did not involve becoming a monster herself.

At this moment, she recalled that voice again.

"…What if that voice was telling the truth? Can I get my vengeance if I trust that voice?" Han Xifeng wondered aloud.

Naturally, she was curious how that voice seemed to know of her predicament. However, this curiousness was far too little compared to her desire for vengeance.

"Alright. I will take this risk," Han Xifeng spoke while clenching her fist.

Her feet moved quickly as she headed towards the spot where she had initially heard the voice.

"I have come! I need your help to get my vengeance!" Han Xifeng shouted.

A mysterious voice resounded after a few seconds, "…Very good. Then you should be ready to pay the price of this task."

"What is it?" Han Xifeng asked.

"I want you to sign this binding contract," the voice responded.

As Han Xifeng's eyes scanned the yellowish scroll, her heart pounded with anxiety. She knew that whatever was written on this piece of paper could potentially change the course of her life forever.

As she read through the binding agreement, she could feel her palms getting sweaty and her breath getting shallow. The demand written on the scroll was outrageous and sinister, and Han Xifeng couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust at the person who had written it.

This binding agreement stated that in exchange for Fen Gen and his entourage's lives, Han Xifeng had to secretly spread the news that Lin Feng killed them.

"What kind of demand is this?" she exclaimed, her voice shaking with disbelief and anger.

But as soon as she finished speaking, a cold voice replied, "This is my only condition. Agree to that, and I will immediately head to kill Fen Gen."

Han Xifeng couldn't help but begin to overthink at this moment. Was this really happening? Was she actually being given a chance to avenge her tribe?

But then, doubts started creeping in. Could she really trust this person? What if it was a trap? What if she ended up being betrayed?

She couldn't help but hesitate, her mind racing with conflicting thoughts.

"What's wrong?" the voice asked impatiently. "Do you want to avenge your tribe or not?"

Han Xifeng felt a pang of anger at the person's tone, but she knew that this was her only chance. With a deep breath, she made a decision.

"I agree," she said, her voice steady despite the tumultuous emotions inside her.

"Then sign the contract with your blood."

Han Xifeng bit her thumb, and blood instantly gushed out of it. She signed the contract with a heavy heart.

As she signed that sinister contract, she felt a strange sensation in her back. Looking over her shoulder, she gasped in horror as she saw her angelic wings darken and turn into a deep shade of black.

What had she just done? What kind of path was she embarking on? The weight of her decision began to settle heavily on her shoulders, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding about what was to come.

'Interesting. I never expected to see fallen angel wings here. It seems that this woman's bloodline is closely related to the true angel bloodline,' Wang Jian thought as he gazed at Han Xifeng's dark wings.

The True Angel Bloodline that Han Xifeng possessed actually possessed two paths. One was the Holy Path, whose branch was known as the Sacred Angel Bloodline, while the other was the Demonic Path and its branch was known as the Fallen Angel Bloodline.

The Miracle Angel Tribe possessed the Sacred Angel Bloodline, so Han Xifeng's bloodline shouldn't have transformed into the Fallen Angel Bloodline like that.

The only possible reason Wang Jian could think of was that Han Xifeng's bloodline was very pure and could nearly rival the True Angel Bloodline. And her emotions had darkened enough, which resulted in her bloodline transforming.

Naturally, this transformation wasn't merely of the wings.

Her once pure bloodline Holy Angel physique began to transform. Her skin, already fair and luminous, took on an almost ethereal glow, radiating an otherworldly beauty.

As her body mutated into a fallen angel, dark qi began to leak out of her, giving her an ominous aura that could send shivers down anyone's spine.

Her once slender frame became even more so, with her curves becoming more pronounced, causing her to appear more attractive to men. Her clothes now clung to her body in a way that was almost seductive, revealing just enough to leave the mind to wonder.

Despite the transformation, her hair remained the same vibrant shade of black as before, cascading down her back in luxurious waves. Her eyes, still the same piercing shade of brown now had a dark tint to them that made them even more mesmerizing.

As her transformation began, Wang Jian had no choice but to come out of hiding and shroud that massive qi.

He knew that if this dark qi continued to gush out of her body, Lin Feng would soon detect it. Once he discovers something is wrong, he would immediately heads to this location.

Although Wang Jian wasn't afraid of Lin Feng, he was still a bit mindful of their confrontation.

He felt that it wasn't time to confront Lin Feng just yet. It was crucial that he concealed his presence to execute his plan perfectly.

Wang Jian was rather impressed as he witnessed Han Xifeng's transformation.

He received a notification on the system.

[Congratulations, Host. Your schemes have completely transformed Heroine Han Xifeng's mentality and forced a bloodline mutation. You receive 20,000 Destiny Points.]

That wasn't all. Han Xifeng's cultivation actually advanced to the Origin Realm after successfully becoming a fallen angel.

After three hours, Han Xifeng slowly stirred awake. Her head throbbed painfully as she opened her eyes. At first, her vision was blurry, but as her gaze sharpened, a flash of silver caught her attention.

Her eyes traced the source of the glimmer, settling on a man with a head of lustrous silver hair and piercing blue irises that held a calm and serene demeanour.

As she struggled to sit up, she found herself locked in the man's intense gaze. He appeared to be studying her, and Han Xifeng couldn't help but feel a rush of unease at the intensity of his scrutiny.

She swallowed hard, her throat suddenly dry, and spoke softly, "Who are you?"

Wang Jian's response was as swift as a well-aimed arrow.

"The owner of that binding contract," he replied, his voice carrying the weight of authority.

Han Xifeng's heart leapt into her throat. She had anticipated an aged warrior to be the holder of such power, but the young man before her belied that assumption. His piercing blue gaze was cool and collected, belying his apparent youthfulness.

"Surely, you cannot be a Lord Realm warrior," Han Xifeng stammered in disbelief, her eyes scanning his handsome features for any indication of deception.

Despite her scepticism, she was struck by the sense of power that emanated from Wang Jian, like an aura that pulsed from deep within him.

Wang Jian's expression remained placid, though Han Xifeng detected a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Looks can be deceiving," he said simply, leaving her to ponder his enigmatic words.

Han Xifeng's curiosity got the better of her, and she asked, "If you don't mind me asking, what is your name?"

"Wang Jian," came his calm reply.

"…"

For a moment, Han Xifeng was speechless. Her eyes widened, and her arm shot out, pointing directly at him. Her mouth opened, but no sound came out, leaving her gasping for breath.

The shock of the revelation was almost too much for her to handle. Her mind raced, trying to process the information. How could this be?

How could the owner of that contract be this man?! The man who is Lin Feng's greatest enemy!

"Although your reaction is amusing, you can close your mouth now," Wang Jian spoke.

"…How? Why? What are you doing here?" Han Xifeng asked.

"I was keeping an eye on Fen Gen. After discovering that he was on his way to meet Lin Feng, I made up my mind to kill him. Once I did, I recalled that there was someone who might wish to see him dead even more than me. So, I came here to set up this deal with you."

Han Xifeng's eyes widened as she listened to Wang Jian's explanation. "How could you be here whenever I wanted?" she asked, still in shock. "You weren't hiding in this area all this time, right?"

Wang Jian let out a small chuckle, the corners of his lips curving up into a smirk. "Hehe...trade secret," he replied cryptically.

But the truth was that Wang Jian had used his Shadow Manipulation Skill to set up a shadow clone in the area. The clone wasn't very useful in battle, but it allowed Wang Jian to manage multiple locations at once.

He conducted the entire deal with Han Xifeng using this clone. The clone even erected a veil around Han Xifeng's body while her body was mutating, concealing her dark qi.

Once the shadow clone had set up the veil, it contacted its real body, and Wang Jian headed towards the spot at his quickest pace.

"…I will be on my way now," Wang Jian spoke.

Han Xifeng stayed silent as she heard his words. Her mind was occupied with another worry.

Han Xifeng was filled with anxiety, pondering how she could return to her tribe with her newly acquired dark wings. The thought of being ostracized by her tribe filled her with dread.

Wang Jian noticed her unease, and a sly smile crept across his face. "I know what's troubling you, and I can help," he said.

Perking up with hope, Han Xifeng asked, "How?"

"I possess a Qi Sealing Jade. As long as it remains in contact with your body, your dark qi won't be exposed. However, it's crucial that you prevent anyone from touching you. Once someone touches your body, they will sense the dark qi," Wang Jian explained.

Han Xifeng's eyes lit up with excitement at the prospect of a solution to her problem. "That could work. I'll make sure no one lays a hand on me," she replied.

"However," Wang Jian continued with a hint of malice, "I never said I would give it to you for free."

Slowly, Han Xifeng began to realize the true intentions behind his words and asked coldly, "What do you want?"

"I want to take a stroll with you, hand in hand," Wang Jian replied with a sinister grin.

Han Xifeng's initial reaction was to refuse him outright, but as she looked at his handsome face and piercing blue eyes, she found herself wavering. The idea of being close to him sent shivers down her spine, and she couldn't help but feel drawn to him.

As her mind raced with conflicting thoughts, Wang Jian leaned in closer and whispered, "Think carefully, Han Xifeng. Do you really want to go back to your tribe alone and face their rejection? It's just a walk. It will be over before you realize it."

Han Xifeng hesitated for a moment but ultimately gave in to his proposition.

"Alright."

Wang Jian's sly smile persisted as he extended his hand to Han Xifeng, who reluctantly placed hers in his. They walked through the woods, the leaves crunching under their feet. Han Xifeng's eyes were fixed on the ground, refusing to look up and meet Wang Jian's gaze.

"So, Han Xifeng, how does it feel to have these wings?" Wang Jian asked, his voice dripping with amusement.

Han Xifeng gritted her teeth and responded, "I would rather not talk about it."

Wang Jian chuckled, "Oh come on, it's not every day someone forces a mutation of their bloodline through a change in mentality."

Han Xifeng kept her mouth shut, not wanting to engage in any conversation with Wang Jian. She knew he was up to something, and she didn't want to give him any opportunity to manipulate her.

Wang Jian maintained his sinister smile as he spoke, "Your mutation is truly fascinating. I wonder what new abilities you have unlocked. Aren't you even a little bit curious?"

Han Xifeng refused to be diverted and asked, "…Is it true that Su Xian and Kang Huian are your lovers?"

"So even you have heard the rumours. Yes, they are my lovers," Wang Jian answered nonchalantly.

Han Xifeng felt a pang of anger towards Su Xian and Kang Huian for betraying Lin Feng. She asked, "Why would they betray Brother Feng like that?" Her voice trembled with fury.

Wang Jian noticed Han Xifeng's anger and continued to speak with a smug expression, "You see, Su Xian and Kang Huian chose me over Lin Feng because I am superior to him in every way. I am wealthier, more handsome, have a higher status, and can provide a greater sense of security to them."

Han Xifeng's fists clenched at the sound of Wang Jian's arrogant words. "But that doesn't justify their betrayal," she retorted, her voice filled with righteous anger.

Wang Jian shrugged, "Justification is a matter of perspective. From where they stand, they made the rational choice."

Han Xifeng shook her head, "I don't agree with your reasoning."

"Just ask yourself, Han Xifeng. If you had met me before Lin Feng, would you have fallen for him?" Wang Jian asked again, his voice dripping with disdain.

"I would never have fallen for you!" Han Xifeng replied, her voice laced with anger.

Wang Jian let out a derisive laugh. "Keep convincing yourself like that."

Han Xifeng's expression turned to one of disgust, and she spat, "You are delusional!"

"I fell in love with Lin Feng because he was kind, brave, and always put the needs of others before his own. He always stood up for what was right, even if it meant putting himself in danger. Most importantly, he is the Holy Son of my tribe due to his bloodline. I am already bound to him for eternity," Han Xifeng stated firmly.

As Han Xifeng expressed her admiration for Lin Feng, Wang Jian couldn't help but roll his eyes in disdain. "Kind, brave, and selfless? Sounds like a pretentious hero to me," he scoffed. "And if he's such a saint, why didn't he punish the Night Dagger Clan for their treachery? Betrayal is betrayal, no matter what the reason."

Han Xifeng was taken aback by Wang Jian's words, and even more so when she found herself agreeing with him.

Her confusion was evident in her expression, but Wang Jian continued on, relishing in his own words. "The reason why he didn't act against the Night Dagger Clan is that he's afraid to reduce their combat power. He needs all the help he can get to defeat me, and with the Miracle Angel Tribe's warriors gone, he's desperate to keep the Crimson Mammoth Tribe and the Night Dagger Clan on his side, even if it means turning a blind eye to the Night Dagger Clan's despicable betrayal."

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Han Xifeng was taken aback by Wang Jian's words, her eyes widening in disbelief. It was true that Lin Feng had not taken action against the Night Dagger Clan, and now Wang Jian's words made her question Lin Feng's priorities.

"But...Lin Feng would never do that. He would never put his ambitions over his sense of justice," she protested, her voice filled with uncertainty.

Wang Jian sneered, "You're too naive, Han Xifeng. He's a snake in sheep's clothing, using his so-called heroism to manipulate those around him. He's been playing everyone, including you, for fools. And he's been doing it all for one reason - to eliminate me."

Han Xifeng didn't know what to believe anymore. Could Lin Feng really be as deceitful as Wang Jian was suggesting?

"…Well, whatever. You will see it in due time," Wang Jian stated offhandedly.

Han Xifeng stared at him, unsure of what to say. A part of her wanted to believe that Wang Jian was just trying to sow seeds of doubt in her mind, but another part of her couldn't shake the feeling that there might be some truth to his words.

She decided to change the subject. "So, where are we going exactly?"

"Nowhere. I just wanted to have this interesting conversation with you," Wang Jian stated.

As the day wore on and the sun began to dip below the horizon, Wang Jian eventually parted ways with Han Xifeng after having spent nearly an hour in her company.

With lightning-quick movements, Wang Jian raced towards the Night Dagger Clan's encampment. He had a sword imbued with the power of lightning, which he intended to use to decimate every person in the camp.

Wang Jian was well aware of Fen Shuying's knowledge regarding Lin Feng's legendary sword, a weapon of immense lightning ability that only Lin Feng himself could wield.

If Wang Jian were to leave behind a trail of sword wounds and lightning burns on Fen Gen's lifeless body, then it was highly likely that Fen Shuying would unconsciously believe Lin Feng to be the one responsible for her father's untimely demise.

Such a scenario would perfectly align with Wang Jian's ultimate goal.

~~

Wang Jian strode through the Night Dagger Clan's camp, his lightning attribute sword at the ready. The air crackled with electricity as he approached the first guard.

The man barely had time to raise his weapon before Wang Jian's blade slashed through him with a fierce hiss.

As he moved deeper into the camp, he slaughtered everyone in his path with deadly efficiency. They had no way of resisting as his cultivation at the Lord Realm made him superior to everyone in this camp.

Sparks flew as his sword sliced through flesh and bone, leaving a trail of blood and carnage in his wake. He showed no mercy, no hesitation as he carried out his gruesome task.

Finally, he reached the tent where Fen Gen was hiding. The Night Dagger Clan leader emerged, his face a mask of confusion and disbelief at the sight of Wang Jian.

He couldn't believe that Wang Jian had come to kill him.

"What have I done wrong?" Fen Gen pleaded, his voice choked with desperation.

Wang Jian's lips twisted into a cruel smile. "You've done nothing wrong," he hissed. "In fact, you've done everything exactly as I instructed."

"But unfortunately, your death is necessary for me to achieve my objective."

Fen Gen's eyes widened in horror as Wang Jian lifted his sword. The air crackled with electricity as the blade descended, and with a final, sickening crunch, Fen Gen's body fell lifeless to the ground.

Wang Jian looked down at the lifeless body, feeling a sense of satisfaction wash over him.

"…Alright. Time to create a huge ruckus."

In the meantime, back at the lair.

Lin Feng was meditating and cultivating his Qi when he sensed someone utilizing powerful lightning attribute techniques.

He looked around and noticed no one in the lair had sensed it. It was only natural as Lin Feng possessed the Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword and possessed hypersensitivity towards lightning attribute.

Without a moment's hesitation, he headed towards the source of the disturbance, his own Qi flaring to life in response. As he ran, he could feel the weight of his own power building within him, ready to unleash itself at a moment's notice.

Lin Feng arrived at the Night Dagger Clan's camp, his heart pounding as he surveyed the devastation. Bodies were strewn about, blood soaking the ground. The air was heavy with the scent of death.

He knew he needed to act fast. He moved through the camp, his eyes scanning for any survivors. But the scene was gruesome. Severed limbs and decapitated bodies lay scattered among the tents. It was a massacre.

As he searched, his heart heavy with distress, he wondered who could have done such a thing. He knew the answer wasn't going to be a pleasant one. He couldn't even begin to imagine the kind of hatred that could drive someone to commit such an atrocity.

Despite his efforts, he found no survivors, and the silence of the camp was deafening. He knew that he had to report this to the Miracle Angel Tribe, but he couldn't bring himself to leave just yet. He stayed a while longer, paying his respects to the fallen and vowing to bring justice to those responsible for this tragedy.

Back at the Miracle Angel Tribe's lair, the members of the tribe grew curious as to why Lin Feng had left so suddenly. They hadn't sensed the ruckus caused by Wang Jian's Qi due to their low affinity to the lightning attribute.

As Han Xifeng replayed her dealings with Wang Jian in her mind, a wave of disgust and guilt washed over her, knowing that it must have been him who had caused Lin Feng to rush out in such haste. Her stomach churned with regret as she felt she had made a grave mistake.

But just as quickly as the feeling came, it dissipated, replaced by a sense of pleasure as she realized that Fen Gen, the leader of the Night Dagger Clan, was now dead. She knew she shouldn't feel such glee, but the realization that her hated nemesis was no more made it impossible to resist.

'No…I can't be too happy. I need to wait until Brother Feng returns and confirms his death. What if something unexpected happened and Fen Gen survived? That would be a disaster.'

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

After two hours, Lin Feng returned.

He returned to the Miracle Angel Tribe's lair with a heavy heart, his mind filled with the gruesome scene he had just witnessed. As he approached the entrance, he could see the worried expressions on the faces of the members of the tribe.

"I bring grim news," Lin Feng said, his voice low and solemn. "The Night Dagger Clan's camp has been destroyed with everyone inside massacred, including their leader, Fen Gen."

The members of the Miracle Angel Tribe were initially shocked by Lin Feng's words, but then a wave of excitement washed over them. They began to cheer and dance, some even clapping their hands in joy.

Children ran around the lair, laughing and jumping with glee. The news of the Night Dagger Clan's camp's destruction was truly wonderful to them. They had despised the Night Dagger Clan for their treachery, and their demise was a cause for celebration.

Seeing their excitement, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel distressed. The destruction of the camp had been a gruesome affair, and the loss of life was not something to be celebrated.

He refrained from speaking his thoughts, knowing that the Miracle Angel Tribe had a deep-seated hatred for the Night Dagger Clan. Instead, he left the hall and made his way to his quarters, hoping to find some solace in solitude.

Meanwhile, Han Xifeng couldn't help but feel a sense of gleeful satisfaction in her heart. She thanked Wang Jian silently for fulfilling his end of the deal.

And vowed to fulfil her end of the deal.

As the hours slowly passed and the night deepened, the Miracle Angel Tribe's jubilation showed no signs of abating.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng's mind was consumed by the atrocity he had witnessed earlier, ruminating on the identity of the unknown malefactor responsible for such devastation. His thoughts were plagued with questions, perplexed by the motives of the assailant and the reasoning behind targeting the Night Dagger Clan.

As he struggled to make sense of the situation, he couldn't help but feel deeply disappointed in the members of the Miracle Angel Tribe. Though he understood their animosity towards the Night Dagger Clan, their gleeful celebrations in the face of such destruction left him feeling troubled and disheartened.

~~

As dawn broke on the morrow, tidings of the obliteration of the Night Dagger Clan's encampment and the death of Fen Gen disseminated with celerity throughout the neighbouring village.

Through the network of communication threads woven by the villagers, the news pervaded and permeated every nook and cranny of the Zhenguan Region.

Simultaneously with the revelation of the Night Dagger Clan's camp's destruction and the demise of Fen Gen, a second piece of news reverberated throughout the Zhenguan Region. It was announced that the ruthless slaughter of the Night Dagger Clan's members was executed by a perpetrator who wielded a sword and possessed the rare attribute of lightning.

The aforementioned news was sufficient to create a strong association in people's minds between the death of Fen Gen and none other than Lin Feng.

The news of the destruction of their camp and the death of Fen Gen, along with the rumours linking Lin Feng to the incident, reached the Night Dagger Clan's hideout in the northern Mellow Magnolia Woods.

The clan members were horrified, their hearts heavy with grief and despair, and disbelief etched on their faces.

Fen Shuying's world crumbled beneath her feet as she received the dreadful news. Her heart pounded with disbelief, and she struggled to come to terms with the brutal reality of her father's death at the hands of her beloved.

She immediately ordered her subordinates and guards to accompany her to the camp to personally verify these horrifying rumours.

"Captain Li, prepare my horse and call my loyal guards. We must go to the camp immediately," she ordered, her voice trembling.

Captain Li nodded gravely and called for the horses. "My lady, are you sure you want to go? It might be too dangerous," he said, trying to dissuade her.

Fen Shuying turned to him with a fierce look in her eyes. "I must know the truth, Captain. I cannot rest until then."

Captain Li nodded in understanding and called for more guards to accompany them.

As Fen Shuying was getting ready to leave for the Night Dagger Clan's camp, her mother, Lady Xia, came to her, pleading with her to reconsider.

"Fen Shuying, my dear daughter, please don't do this. It's too dangerous," Lady Xia implored. "Your father wouldn't want you to put yourself in harm's way like this. You're all I have left. If something happens to you, I'll be lost."

Fen Shuying turned to her mother, her voice firm. "I appreciate your concern, Mother, but I must do this. I am the head of this clan now, and I must take responsibility for what has happened."

Her mother continued to plead with her, but Fen Shuying was not swayed. Finally, her mother relented, tears still in her eyes as she hugged her daughter tightly.

Fen Shuying, Captain Li, and dozens of guards rode swiftly towards the camp.

As they neared the camp, she could see the destruction and devastation that had befallen the Night Dagger Clan. Tears welled up in her eyes as she saw the lifeless bodies of her clan members strewn across the ground.

She dismounted her horse and slowly walked towards the site where her father's body lay. She knelt beside him and wept bitterly.

"Father, why did you have to leave me like this? Who did this to you?" she cried out in agony.

Her guards stood around her, watching her with sympathy and sorrow. They knew how much Fen Shuying loved her father and how much she was hurting.

"Secure the area," Fen Shuying ordered, her voice trembling with emotion.

"Find any clues you can about who did this. And we must take our fallen home and give them a proper burial."

Her team worked quickly and efficiently, tying up the bodies of the dead and gathering any evidence they could find.

As Fen Shuying's subordinates began their investigation, they found that the wounds on the corpses matched the patterns of a lightning-attribute sword. One of the subordinates reported to Fen Shuying, "My lady, we have found evidence that suggests that the murders were committed by someone with a lightning attribute sword."

"…No way… it really isn't you, right, Brother Feng?" Fen Shuying couldn't help but mutter in a hopeful tone.

Fen Shuying wandered around the campsite, her heart heavy with grief and her mind clouded with doubt. She simply could not believe that Lin Feng, the love of her life, would be capable of killing her father. As she walked around the tent where her father had stayed, something caught her eye - a small piece of torn paper on the ground.

The paper that lay before her eyes was of the same make as that note she found outside her bedroom, which stated her father's surreptitious alliance with Wang Jian.

Fen Shuying stood there, holding the paper in her trembling hands, as a realization of dread washed over her.

"…D-did Brother Feng do this because he discovered my father's secret collaboration with Wang Jian?!" She pondered with a tremble in her voice. The gravity of the situation dawned on her, and she was left shaken to the core.

Despite her desire to confront Lin Feng and seek the truth, a sense of fear and uncertainty crept in. The masterful manipulation of the scenario by Wang Jian instilled a deep sense of doubt and suspicion in Fen Shuying's mind, leaving her unsure of what to believe.

Thus, she dared not visit the Miracle Angel Tribe's lair and confront Lin Feng. Her conviction in her deduction had become so strong that she was afraid of facing him and even believing in him.

Fen Shuying returned to her clan's hideout with a heavy heart, feeling lost and confused.

On the other side of the forest, Lin Feng received news from the Miracle Angel Tribe's scouts that Fen Shuying had come to the camp and had taken the corpses back to her hideout.

Lin Feng was disheartened to hear this. He couldn't understand why Fen Shuying didn't come to meet him or even send a message informing him of her arrival. His heart was heavy with sadness and worry as he contemplated the situation.

Despite the news linking him to Fen Gen's murder, Lin Feng's conscience remained pure and untroubled.

Nevertheless, the disheartening thought crossed his mind, 'Could it be that Shuying has given credence to this baseless rumour and thus refrained from meeting me?'

The weight of this possibility heavily bore upon Lin Feng's spirit, plunging him into a deep melancholy.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Meanwhile, Fen Shuying made her way back to the hideout of her clan. There, she was informed that Wang Jian had arrived, prompted by the announcement of Fen Gen's death.

Given the existing treaty between the Night Dagger Clan and Wang Jian, Fen Shuying greeted this development with little astonishment and considered it a predictable occurrence.

Wang Jian had arrived an hour earlier, and he was talking to Lady Xia with a grave expression on his face.

"I am sorry for your loss, Lady Xia. It is truly a tragedy that Fen Gen has passed away," he said in a sympathetic tone.

Lady Xia's eyes were red and swollen from crying, but she managed to compose herself enough to respond, "Thank you, Lord Wang. I cannot believe that my husband is gone. It is so sudden and unexpected."

Wang Jian nodded his head in agreement and continued, "I have come to offer my condolences and also to discuss the matter of your safety. The killer who took Fen Gen's life is still out there, and it is too dangerous for you and your daughter to remain in the Night Dagger Clan's hideout. I would like to offer you a safe haven in an estate near my mansion. The security there is much better, and you will have my personal protection."

Lady Xia's hesitation was palpable as she wrestled with the idea of leaving her clan's hideout, but the thought of her daughter's safety eventually overcame her reservations, and she reluctantly agreed to Wang Jian's proposal.

At this precise moment, Fen Shuying made an entrance into the hall.

As Fen Shuying entered the hall, Wang Jian stared at her with an evil glint in his eyes.

Lady Xia had a delighted look on her face as she saw her daughter. She then informed her daughter of the discussion they had with Wang Jian.

Fen Shuying's eyes widened with shock when she heard the proposal of shifting near Wang Jian's mansion.

"What?! No, mother, absolutely not! How can you even consider it?" Fen Shuying exclaimed.

"But, my dear daughter, we must think of our safety. Wang Jian is right. It's too dangerous to stay here," Lady Xia replied, her voice laced with concern.

Wang Jian interrupted their conversation, "I'll leave you two to sort out and let me know of your decision," he said, a devious smile on his face as he left the hall.

Once he was gone, Fen Shuying spoke, "Mother, you can't seriously consider moving us to his estate! I don't feel it's the right decision."

Lady Xia remained intransigent. "But our options are limited. Should we remain here, we risk falling prey to the same assassins who dispatched your father, and we would be powerless to resist. Your father, with all his might, led the best warriors of our clan, and yet they all perished!"

"Why do you express such strong resistance? Is it because you fear the disapproval of your husband? Rest assured that if his love is sincere, he will be empathetic to our plight," Lady Xia concluded with conviction.

"…It's not about that, mother," Fen Shuying shook her head in defiance.

"Then what is this about? Explain to me," Lady Xia's tone was firm.

"…I highly doubt the sincerity of Wang Jian's offer. It reeks of ulterior motives, and I refuse to be swayed by those honeyed words," Fen Shuying finally responded.

Lady Xia frowned at her daughter's stubbornness.

"Enough of your baseless accusations, Fen Shuying! I refuse to endanger our lives any further. If you are not willing to come with me, then I will go alone," she declared, her voice tinged with frustration.

Fen Shuying's eyes widened in shock.

"Mother, no! You cannot risk your life like this. I will come with you, but only if you promise me that you will be cautious and not trust Wang Jian blindly," she relented, her voice laced with worry.

Lady Xia smiled triumphantly. "I promise, my dear. We will be safe at Wang Jian's estate, and we will not let our guard down. Let us go and inform him of our decision," she said, rising from her seat.

As they made their way out of the hall, Fen Shuying couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that clung to her. She prayed silently that her instincts were wrong and that they would not regret this decision.

During this interval, Wang Jian convened with his confidential sources within the Night Dagger Clan.

Each informant was generously rewarded with personalized weaponry or equipment based on their preferences, evoking a deep sense of satisfaction within them. Their allegiance towards Wang Jian grew exponentially in response to this display of generosity.

The shrewd Wang Jian was pleased to witness this, and when he perceived that the time was opportune, he broached a critical matter.

He charged them with the task of aggressively recruiting more members for his faction now that Fen Gen had been eliminated and Fen Shuying would no longer be present to supervise the Night Dagger Clan. The recruitment of new members could be accomplished without arousing suspicion or resistance.

Furthermore, in case any of Fen Shuying's faithful followers attempted to communicate with her, their messages would have to go through an arduous vetting process established by Wang Jian within their new residence. This would enable him to cherry-pick the intelligence that Lady Xia and her daughter would receive, thus securing his influence over them.

Soon after, Lady Xia arrived with her daughter and informed Wang Jian of their decision.

Wang Jian's eyes caught Fen Shuying's contemptuous stare, but he concealed the disdain and spoke with a warm smile, "Excellent news."

"Let us commence with the arrangements for Fen Gen's funeral without delay. I shall remain here until the rites are performed and then accompany you and your daughter to your new residence. I assure you that my best experts will be at your service to safeguard you from any potential threats."

Lady Xia appeared moved by Wang Jian's gracious offer and expressed her gratitude, saying, "My sincere thanks for your benevolence, Lord Wang."

"Hmm," Wang Jian grunted as he turned and left the site.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Lady Xia fixed her gaze on her daughter after Wang Jian had left and spoke with a tone of disdain, "This is the man whom you doubted. He is a generous benefactor who deserves our admiration, not suspicion."

Fen Shuying remained silent in response. She knew Wang Jian had left a favourable impression on her mother's mind, and there was no way to change that.

The funeral ceremony of Fen Gen followed the traditional customs of their clan, starting with the ritual of washing the body. This was done by family members and close friends of the deceased, who cleaned and dressed the body in the appropriate funeral attire. Naturally, all of them were male.

Next, a procession was formed with the family leading the way, followed by mourners and musicians playing sombre music on various instruments such as flutes, cymbals, and drums. The procession marched slowly towards the burial site, with the mourners wailing loudly and beating their chests as a sign of grief.

Once the body was buried, the mourners participated in various theatrical performances, including operas, and dance dramas, all of which were meant to honour and remember the deceased.

In one of the dance dramas, Fen Shuying participated in a traditional fan dance, twirling her colourful silk fan gracefully to the beat of the drums. Wang Jian observed the performance with a calm smile, looking pleased with the spectacle.

As the performances continued, Wang Jian's acting skills were on full display, as he pretended to be a concerned friend of the family, comforting Lady Xia with words of sympathy and offering her wine to ease her grief.

Despite his outward display of kindness, Wang Jian was secretly pleased with the success of his plan.

As the funeral came to a close, Lady Xia made a suggestion, "We should leave tomorrow."

Wang Jian responded with a genial smile, "Are you certain? There's no rush, and you are welcome to stay a while longer."

"Your kindness has been greatly appreciated, Lord Wang. But I believe it is time for us to depart," Lady Xia said graciously.

"Of course, if that is what you wish," Wang Jian replied, feigning politeness.

"Thank you," Lady Xia nodded politely and turned to leave.

As she walked away, Wang Jian's eyes followed her with an intense, burning gaze. While he presented himself as a benevolent man, his mind was consumed with impure thoughts and desires, longing to possess Lady Xia for his own.

Lady Xia was a mature beauty with an alluring sense of rawness about her. Her long, flowing brown hair cascaded down her back in gentle waves, framing her face perfectly. Her deep turquoise eyes held a captivating depth that seemed to draw people in, and her full, pink lips were always poised in a soft smile.

But what really set Lady Xia apart were her curves. Her body was a work of art, with curves that flowed and ebbed in all the right places. Her hips were wide and round, and her ample breasts were full and enticing. Her waist was slim, drawing attention to her feminine form and giving her an almost regal presence.

No man in their right mind could ignore this gorgeous woman. And Wang Jian was certainly no different.

However, he had yet to make his move on her.

It wasn't due to the difficulty, as it was almost non-existent. He just had to force himself on her, and she couldn't resist. She could only tolerate the outcome with gritted teeth.

The reason Wang Jian was sure was that he had utilized his True Eyes Ability to compare his luck to Lady Xia. His luck was at 2700, while Lady Xia had the luck of merely 1600.

The only reason he didn't make his move on her yet was because she was a crucial piece if he wanted to conquer Fen Shuying.

Fen Shuying was a heroine and possessed a beauty truly deserving of the title.

If Lady Xia was a mature beauty, then Fen Shuying was a vision of youthful beauty. Her auburn hair, inherited from her father, was long and silky, falling in soft waves around her shoulders. Her clear turquoise eyes were bright and sparkling, exuding a sense of innocence and wonder. Her features were delicate and refined, with high cheekbones and a small, straight nose. Her lips were full and rosy, giving her a sweet, gentle smile.

She was slender and graceful, with a youthful energy that radiated from her. Her body was slender, with long, elegant limbs and a delicate frame.

Despite her slender figure, Fen Shuying also possessed curves in all the right places, making her a perfect woman in her own right. Her hips were wide enough to give her an hourglass figure, and her beasts large enough that they would completely fit in Wang Jian's hand.

'Just wait…It won't be long before you are below me, Lady Xia,' Wang Jian thought darkly.

Unbeknownst to Lady Xia, the man she believed to be a generous benefactor was nothing more than a predator in disguise, concealing his true intentions behind a mask of charm.

~~

Wang Jian guided Lady Xia, her daughter Fen Shuying, and a small entourage of servants and aides towards their new estate.

The group passed through the grand entrance, their footsteps echoing against the stone walls as they made their way towards the main courtyard.

As they walked, Lady Xia and Fen Shuying gazed in awe at the grandeur and beauty of the estate, taking in the intricate carvings and magnificent architecture.

Wang Jian led them to a large reception room where they were greeted by a team of servants, who ushered them towards the comfortable seating arrangements.

The room was adorned with elegant furnishings and intricate decorations, a testament to the opulence of the estate. Lady Xia and Fen Shuying took in their surroundings, their eyes widening in amazement at the grandeur of the room.

As they settled into their seats, Wang Jian addressed Lady Xia with a calm and collected voice, "Please make yourself comfortable, Lady Xia. I hope the journey wasn't too taxing for you."

Lady Xia nodded her head gracefully. Her eyes were still fixated on the ornate decor of the room. Fen Shuying, however, appeared slightly uneasy, glancing around nervously at the unfamiliar surroundings.

But Wang Jian quickly reassured her with a warm smile and gentle words, putting her at ease.

Fen Shuying took a deep breath and asked Wang Jian the question that had been weighing on her mind, "I want to investigate my father's death. Can you help me?"

Wang Jian's expression remained unchanged, but a flicker of surprise passed through his eyes. He replied with a warm smile, "Of course, Shuying. I had already planned to look into the matter myself."

Fen Shuying bristled slightly at the use of her given name but suppressed her irritation and pressed on, "What do you propose we do?"

"I have heard rumors that Lin Feng may have been responsible for your father's death," Wang Jian said candidly. "I plan to confront him and get to the bottom of this."

Fen Shuying looked thoughtful for a moment before voicing her concern. "But what if Brother Feng refuses to meet with you?" She added internally, 'He hates you, after all.'

Wang Jian's smile remained unbroken as he assured her, "I am sure he would put his hatred aside for your father's sake. However, if he proves to be stubborn, I will seek the help of the Miracle Angel Tribe. They can easily help us find the truth."

Fen Shuying pondered on his words, finding the plan reasonable. "Hmm, that's a good plan," she finally spoke with a hint of hopefulness.

"Alright. You go to your room and get some rest now. I will go and send a message to the Miracle Angel Tribe and set up this meeting," Wang Jian spoke.

Fen Shuying heeded his words and returned to her room.

Wang Jian swiftly departed from the estate and rode his chariot to his grand mansion. The journey lasted no more than half an hour.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Upon his return, his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Su Xian. He felt a longing desire to see her and decided to pay her a visit.

It had been several days since he last saw her. Su Xian was actually studying a book in her room when she saw Wang Jian entering her room.

Upon seeing him, Su Xian ran towards him and jumped into his arms, showering him with kisses of happiness.

Wang Jian, too, was overjoyed to see her, and he held her tightly in his embrace, enjoying the warmth of her body against his. Su Xian's luscious lips tasted sweet against his, and he savored the moment, relishing in their reunion.

After a few minutes of passionate kissing, Su Xian pulled away and looked up at Wang Jian with a smile.

"So, where were you busy this time? Her again?" Su Xian asked.

"No. It was all business this time," Wang Jian spoke. He then inquired her, "So, how goes your studies?"

Su Xian spoke with confidence, "I have completed most of the theoretical training."

Wang Jian was surprised to hear her statement and asked, "Is that so? Then it's high time we awakened your spirit."

Su Xian was surprised and responded, "But isn't a spirit-awakening treasure required for that? I've heard they are quite expensive."

Wang Jian, unfazed, reminded her of his wealth and power, "Don't forget who I am. I can afford to purchase dozens of spirit-awakening treasures."

Su Xian smiled genuinely, "Thank you."

As Su Xian wrapped her arms around Wang Jian, she felt the warmth of his body against hers. She snuggled closer, burying her face into his chest.

Once Su Xian hugged him, it ignited the fire in Wang Jian as he began to feel quite hot. His hands gripped Su Xian's clothes and tore them impatiently while stripping down quickly.

As Su Xian's naked body fell on the bed, there was a delighted look on her face. She whispered, "You really can't wait, can you? It was a new dress."

Wang Jian responded huskily, "You can buy ten more of those dresses."

After finishing his sentence, Wang Jian swiftly leapt onto the bed and enveloped Su Xian's curvaceous form in his strong arms.

Su Xian, taken by surprise, gasped in surprise and pleasure as Wang Jian's powerful embrace pinned her to the bed. His muscular arms surrounded her body, trapping her against his chest while his hot breath lingered on her ear.

Su Xian's body trembled as Wang Jian's lips found her neck and began to shower her with delicate kisses. The sensation sent waves of pleasure coursing through her veins, and her eyes fluttered closed as she surrendered herself to his embrace.

Wang Jian's touch was electrifying, every caress of his hands sending sparks of desire flickering across her skin.

He eagerly grasped her voluptuous breasts and caressed them with delight while his throbbing manhood brushed against her smooth legs.

Su Xian let out a soft moan, her body trembling with pleasure at the touch of his hands. "Oh, Wang Jian," she whispered, her voice husky with desire. "You make me feel so good."

Wang Jian smiled, his eyes shining with delight.

"Hehe…This is just the start."

"When are you going to put it inside?" Su Xian inquired with a groan.

Wang Jian turned Su Xian over onto her stomach, firmly gripping her waist with one hand and delivering a sharp slap to her round buttocks with the other. She let out a surprised yelp as the stinging sensation spread through her body.

"Beg me, bitch," Wang Jian commanded in a low, husky voice.

Su Xian's cheeks flushed with arousal as she gazed up at him with a mixture of submission and desire. "Yes, please, master," she whispered, her voice thick with need.

Wang Jian's eyes gleamed with a mixture of dominance and satisfaction as he leaned in close to her ear.

"Louder," he growled, his breath hot against her skin.

Su Xian moaned, her body arching with pleasure as Wang Jian continued to spank her, each blow making her feel more alive and more submissive to his every command.

"Please, Master!" she cried out, her voice echoing through the room as her body writhed with pleasure.

Wang Jian's grip tightened on her waist, his own arousal growing as he listened to her cries of pleasure. With a low groan, he finally relented, his hand coming to rest on her reddened flesh.

"Good girl," he murmured, his voice thick with satisfaction.

Wang Jian's voice was heavy with desire as he said, "Now, you slut, it's time for your reward."

In one swift movement, he penetrated Su Xian's intimate garden with his throbbing member, causing her to gasp and arch her back in pleasure.

The sensation of him filling her completely was almost overwhelming, and she clutched at the sheets with a mixture of pleasure and pain.

Wang Jian began to move with a slow, steady rhythm, each thrust sending waves of ecstasy through Su Xian's body. She moaned and writhed beneath him, her eyes closing as she gave in to the sensation.

As he continued to move inside her, Wang Jian leaned down and captured her lips in a passionate kiss, his hands gripping her hips tightly as he intensified his thrusts.

Su Xian responded eagerly, kissing him back with equal fervor and urging him on with soft moans and gasps. The heat between them was intense, their bodies moving together in perfect harmony as they sought the ultimate pleasure.

After thrusting for more than ten minutes, Su Xian finally reached her limit as she let out a loud moan, "Ahhhhh….I am cumming, master. Your useless slave is cumming!"

She cried out in ecstasy as she reached her climax, her body shuddering with the force of it.

The same was true for Wang Jian as he soon reached his peak and exploded inside Su Xian, filling her with his hot seed.

For a moment, they lay together, wrapped in each other's arms, their breathing ragged and their bodies spent.

Wang Jian wasn't satisfied with just one round. He positioned Su Xian's body in a way that her chest was pressed against the bed, and her bottom was lifted up high. He ran his hand over the smooth curves of her buttocks before gripping them tightly, causing her to gasp in both pain and pleasure.

He leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "You thought one round was enough to satisfy me, my dear? You have much to learn about pleasing me." With a wicked grin on his face, he inserted his member into her garden from behind, causing her to moan loudly.

He pounded into her with relentless vigor, savoring the sounds of her pleasure and the way her body quivered under his touch.

With each forceful thrust, Wang Jian's excitement grew, his grip on Su Xian's hips tightening as he savored the control he had over her. Su Xian's moans grew louder and more desperate with each passing moment, her body writhing beneath his touch.

Wang Jian continued to pleasure her with his expert movements, his member staying hard for what seemed like an eternity. He took his time, savoring every moment and indulging in every sensation that Su Xian's body had to offer. He traced his fingertips over every curve and dip, teasing and tempting her with his touch.

With each soft moan that escaped her lips, his desire grew, fueling his insatiable hunger for more.

He pulled her body tightly against his, feeling the heat of her skin against his own. He could feel her muscles tensing, her breath quickening, and knew that she was nearing the edge.

But he wasn't done yet. He wanted to push her beyond her limits, to make her scream his name in ecstasy.

The sound of their skin slapping together echoed throughout the room, mixing with her desperate moans and his growls of satisfaction. He relished the way she begged for more, the way she pleaded with him to take her harder and faster.

The bed creaked with the intensity of their passion as Wang Jian pushed Su Xian over the edge. Her moans grew louder and more urgent with each thrust, her body writhing in pleasure as he expertly worked her to the brink of climax.

Finally, with a loud cry, Su Xian let go, her body convulsing with the force of her release. Wang Jian held her tightly as she rode out the waves of ecstasy, feeling a sense of satisfaction at having brought her to such heights of pleasure.

As he reached his own climax, Wang Jian released a torrent of hot seed deep inside her, his member pulsing with the force of his release. Su Xian gasped as she felt his seed fill her, the sensation both overwhelming and intensely satisfying.

With a wicked grin, Wang Jian pulled his still-hard member out of her and turned her.

He then pressed his hard member against her breasts, enjoying the way her nipples hardened at the contact.

"Ready for round three?" he asked, his voice low and dangerous. Su Xian could hear the smug satisfaction in his tone.

Su Xian eagerly grabbed her own breasts and pushed them towards Wang Jian's member, rubbing it against her sensitive nipples as she responded in a breathless tone, "Always, my master. Your pleasure is my only desire."

He reached forward and grasped her hair, pulling her head back as he thrust his member between her breasts. Su Xian moaned with pleasure, her hands moving to cup and massage his member with her breasts.

"Such a good little slut," he said, his voice filled with dark satisfaction. "You were made to serve me."

"Thank you, master," Su Xian responded happily.

As she pressed her breasts against him, she moved them up and down, massaging his member with each stroke.

After more than fifteen minutes of her effort, Wang Jian let out a deep moan and released his hot seed all over her face. Su Xian eagerly licked up every drop with a greedy look in her eyes, relishing in the taste of his essence.

Wang Jian pulled her close to him and whispered, "You're such a good little slut, aren't you?"

Su Xian nodded, "Yes, I am your little slut. Only yours."

As the evening wore on, the two of them were lost in the heat of their passion, going at it with a fervor that seemed insatiable. They writhed together in a dance of ecstasy, their bodies entwined in a symphony of lust and desire.

For hours on end, they explored each other's bodies, finding new ways to pleasure and delight one another. They tried every position imaginable, their bodies contorting and twisting in a wild and frenzied dance.

At times, they were so lost in their own pleasure that they barely noticed the passing of time. Moans and cries of pleasure echoed through the room as they pushed each other to new heights of ecstasy.

Finally, as midnight approached, they both collapsed onto the bed, exhausted and sated. They had gone dozens of rounds, leaving each other breathless and spent. As they lay there, wrapped in each other's arms, they basked in the afterglow of their lovemaking, feeling completely satisfied and content.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

The next morning, Wang Jian and Su Xian stepped into the large bathroom in their luxurious suite. The room was filled with the scent of jasmine, and steam rose from the marble tub that was filled with warm water.

Su Xian moved towards the tub and dipped her toe in the water, testing the temperature before slipping in. The water felt wonderful on her skin, and she let out a contented sigh as she sank into it, the water lapping at her breasts.

Wang Jian followed her and stood at the edge of the tub, looking down at her with a wicked grin on his face. Su Xian knew what he wanted and reached out to stroke his member, her fingers trailing up and down the length of it. He moaned in pleasure, his eyes closing as she took him into her mouth.

She licked and sucked him eagerly, her tongue working over every inch of him as she brought him to the brink of release. But Wang Jian wasn't satisfied with a quick orgasm. He wanted to extend his pleasure.

As she continued her oral assault, Wang Jian smirked down at her, his eyes gleaming with a dark hunger.

Su Xian moaned and whimpered, her need growing with each passing moment. She wanted nothing more than to taste his release, to feel the warmth of his cum on her tongue. But Wang Jian was in control.

Finally, he allowed himself to climax, his seed spilling into her mouth as she eagerly swallowed every drop, savoring the taste as she pulled away from him, a satisfied smile on her lips. They both stepped into the warm water, enjoying the sensation of the bubbles tickling their skin.

As they soaked in the tub, they talked about their plans for the day ahead, their voices soft and relaxed. They washed each other, taking turns lathering up and rinsing off, enjoying the intimacy of the moment.

As they entered the bedroom, Wang Jian appeared in the same clothes he had worn the previous day.

Su Xian, on the other hand, had slipped into a new dress, as her previous dress was torn by Wang Jian.

The sleek black fabric hugged her every curve, accentuating her ample bosom and slender waist.

Wang Jian couldn't help but let out a low whistle as he took in her appearance, his eyes roaming over her body hungrily. "You look absolutely stunning," he said, a sly grin playing on his lips.

Su Xian smiled coyly and twirled around, the dress swirling around her legs. "I'm glad you like it, Jian," she purred, batting her eyelashes.

"I feel like you don't want to let me get out of this bedroom…" Wang Jian spoke with a smile.

"…It's nothing like that," Su Xian smiled shyly.

Wang Jian leaned back in his chair and looked at Su Xian with a serious expression. She sat up straight, waiting eagerly for him to reveal her next task.

"Alright. Let's talk more about your next task," he stated, his voice commanding attention.

Su Xian's eyes twinkled with excitement as she leaned forward and asked, "What is it?"

"I will be ordering a team of scouts to scour the region for young beautiful women with potential and offer each one a chance to learn cultivation. You, Su Xian, will be the head of that team. It will be your job to oversee their training and turn them into formidable fighters."

A grin spread across Su Xian's face as she listened to the task. "I'm ready for the challenge,Your Highness," she replied, her voice filled with enthusiasm.

Wang Jian nodded in approval, a small smile forming on his lips. "Good. I have faith in your abilities."

"How many women are we talking about?" Su Xian asked eagerly.

"Twenty or so in the beginning," Wang Jian replied.

Su Xian was excited to hear his words and immediately began to think about how she could best help Wang Jian achieve his goal.

Wang Jian was preparing this force for two reasons.

Wang Jian had two main reasons for his plan to train a new force of women. Firstly, he knew that departure from the current region and his return to the mainland of the Everlasting Mystical Empire was inevitable, and he wanted to be well-prepared for any possible confrontations. He was aware that in order to advance his position in succession, he would require a powerful force at his disposal, and so he intended to create one himself.

However, his motivations weren't entirely altruistic, and there was a darker, more selfish reason for his desire to train beautiful women. He relished the idea of having a group of stunningly attractive women working for him as subordinates, obeying his every command and satisfying his every whim. He imagined the satisfaction he would feel, having his pick of the most beautiful and desirable women, all at his beck and call.

Since Wang Jian held power, status, and resources, it was certainly not impossible for him to create such a force.

After dealing with Su Xian, Wang Jian left her chambers and began to check out the system's notifications.

He was startled to witness the Destiny Points he had acquired during the last couple of days.

81,341 Destiny Points!

About 50,000 of these points came from his manipulation of Han Xifeng's mind. A majority of these points were due to her bloodline mutation that had completely transformed her. Her mentality had also fallen sharply.

He received destiny points for her guilt of agreeing to Wang Jian's deal and killing Fen Gen.

He earned points as Han Xifeng was secretly delighted upon hearing the news of Fen Gen's demise.

He earned points as Han Xifeng had even thanked Wang Jian repeatedly in her heart after Fen Gen's death.

He earned destiny points for her guilt of betraying Lin Feng and spreading that fake rumour.

The rest of the points were divided between Su Xian and Fen Shuying.

Both provided him with around 15,000 Destiny Points, with Su Xian providing him with more.

However, Wang Jian couldn't help but frown slightly as he saw those destiny points.

'It's still much less compared to when I used all those tricks on Kang Huian. Is it because Kang Huian isn't in love with me while Su Xian is? Does that mean that I will earn fewer points if these heroines fall in love with me?'

But then a wicked smile crept across his face as he realized that there were other, even better ways to extract Destiny Points from these women. He began to plot and scheme, his mind racing with depraved ideas of how to control and manipulate them further.

Wang Jian promptly embarked on a journey towards the lair of the Miracle Angel Tribe on the same day.

As he approached the entrance to the Miracle Angel Tribe's lair, Wang Jian came to a halt and drew upon his mastery of the Shadow Manipulation technique, summoning forth a pitch-black doppelganger to infiltrate the stronghold.

The shadowy replica wasted no time in slipping into the lair, shrouded in darkness and all but invisible to any who might try to detect its presence.

Lin Feng's daily routine was gruelling as he dedicated himself to rigorous physical training. He could be seen lifting heavy weights, running uphill, and practising his martial arts techniques with utmost discipline.

Meanwhile, Han Xifeng, along with her mother and other female members of her tribe, were gathered in a tent, discussing the tribe's safety.

Han Xifeng proposed the idea of hiring mercenaries to protect the tribe, but her suggestion was met with scepticism from the other women. They feared that these mercenaries might turn on them and pose a threat to their safety instead.

Despite Han Xifeng's persistent arguments, the other women remained firm in their opposition to the idea of hiring outside help.

At this moment, Han Xifeng felt someone poking her back. As she turned around, she saw no one there.

Just as she was about to turn back, Han Xifeng noticed some words written on the ground.

Her eyes widened as she saw the message.

It was a simple sentence, but it shocked her to the extreme.

"Come meet me at the usual spot – Wang Jian."

After reading the message, Han Xifeng could no longer remain calm. She excused herself from the meeting and left the lair quickly.

She turned around and made sure that no one was pursuing her as she headed to the spot where Wang Jian was waiting for her.

Han Xifeng was taken aback by Wang Jian's sudden appearance, and she looked at him with a mix of suspicion and curiosity. "What are you doing here? And why did you summon me?" she asked, eyeing him warily.

Wang Jian's face had a grim look as he replied, "There is a certain situation at hand."

Han Xifeng's brow furrowed in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Wang Jian leaned in slightly, his eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief.

"Fen Shuying has left her hideout and is living in my estate. She wants to investigate her father's death, and I promised to help her," he said, relishing in the way Han Xifeng's expression changed from confusion to apprehension.

"And... how does that relate to me?" Han Xifeng asked, her tone cautious and guarded.

Wang Jian answered her, "She wants to meet Lin Feng and confirm whether the rumors are true and whether he is her father's murderer or not."

There is no telling what will happen if the two meet.

Once Fen Shuying meets Lin Feng, she will realize he isn't her father's murderer. Lin Feng will also work with her and try to find the true assailant. He will support her along with her clan, and this was unacceptable for Han Xifeng.

"…No way! I can't allow her to meet him!" Han Xifeng instantly responded.

Wang Jian wore a worrisome expression as he explained, "If I continue to evade this meeting, Fen Shuying will only become more determined to meet Lin Feng."

Ha

n Xifeng shared the same concern and brainstormed a solution.

Suddenly, a cunning plan dawned on her as she spoke, "I have a plan. What if I meet her and tell her that it was indeed Lin Feng who killed her father because of my request? I am sure she will believe me."

Wang Jian internally smiled as he heard her words. This was exactly what he wanted to hear.

Wang Jian employed a clever psychological trick known as "The Ikea Effect" to manipulate Han Xifeng into supporting his plan. Instead of proposing the idea himself and facing her opposition, he allowed her to come up with it on her own, knowing that people tend to value things they have created or contributed to.

By playing this game, Wang Jian ensured that Han Xifeng was fully invested in the plan and would do whatever it took to make it work.

"That's a good start, but we need to scrutinize the plan further. Any flaws could jeopardize our success," Wang Jian advised, his mind racing with possibilities.

"Hmm," Han Xifeng responded, lost in thought.

The pair spent the next hour in deep discussion, ironing out the details of the plan until they were confident it was foolproof. Satisfied, they went their separate ways.

"Be prepared. The plan will be put into action tomorrow afternoon," Wang Jian declared before leaving.

As soon as he departed, Wang Jian made a beeline for Fen Shuying's estate to share the news with her.

On the other hand, Han Xifeng returned to the lair. She gathered her loyal subordinates and informed them of this meeting with Wang Jian.

She also added, "Keep this news from Brother Feng. You know of his hatred for Wang Jian. He will never allow me to go to this meeting if he knows of it."

"Don't worry, young miss! Nobody will know of this secret," her servants solemnly promised.

"Good," Han Xifeng responded with a smile.

"I don't want to lie to Brother Feng, but this meeting with Wang Jian is necessary to find more information regarding that assault on the Night Dagger Clan's camp. It will be disastrous if the assailants target us."

These final words easily convinced her subordinates, who were still sceptical.

As the evening approached, Wang Jian arrived at the estate where Fen Shuying was staying. He quickly scanned the premises and spotted Lady Xia in the living room, sipping tea.

He quickly demanded, "Where is Fen Shuying?"

Lady Xia was startled by his question but replied quickly, "She's training on the grounds."

Wang Jian's eyes glinted with an unsettling focus as he made his way to the training grounds. There, he observed Fen Shuying intently as she practised throwing daggers with precision.

"I have one bad news and one good news for you, Shuying," Wang Jian spoke.

"What is it, Lord Wang?" Fen Shuying asked. Her eyes were still fixated on her target as she continued her practice.

"The bad news is that Lin Feng refused to join us at the meeting. However, the good news is that Han Xifeng will be substituting for him in the meeting. She has even promised to inform us of the truth behind your father's demise," Wang Jian spoke.

Those words immediately caused Fen Shuying to turn in his direction and ask, "She knows the truth?!"

Wang Jian responded with a shrug, "She does claim to know of it."

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

"When is this meeting?" Fen Shuying asked impatiently.

"Tomorrow afternoon. The site of this meeting is in that old outpost in the west of the Mellow Magnolia Woods. It is near the Thundering Hemlock Woods and can be considered a zone beyond our respective regions. It will be the perfect site for the meeting."

"…Alright. When do we depart?" Fen Shuying asked.

"Tomorrow morning," Wang Jian spoke.

The two talked for a bit more before Wang Jian left the estate.

~~

The next day, both parties arrived at the outpost.

Wang Jian and Fen Shuying were accompanied by twenty guards, while Han Xifeng had brought ten loyal subordinates along with her.

They met in the main hall of the outpost before Wang Jian ordered the guards, "Leave. This will be an important discussion."

Han Xifeng gave the same order to her subordinates.

Her subordinates were rather hesitant to leave her in a room with Wang Jian, but they figured that Fen Shuying wouldn't let anything happen to their mistress as both were Lin Feng's women.

After everyone else had left, Wang Jian opened the meeting by addressing Han Xifeng, "Miss Han, you mentioned that you know the truth about Mister Fen's death. Would you please enlighten us?"

Han Xifeng turned to Fen Shuying and responded, "Haven't you heard? The state of the corpses should be enough evidence to identify the culprit."

Fen Shuying replied calmly, "I cannot believe that Brother Feng would be responsible for my father's death. There must be some mistake. Please explain it to us."

With a dark chuckle, Han Xifeng revealed the truth, "There is no mistake, Shuying. It was indeed Brother Feng who killed Mister Fen."

Fen Shuying was shocked and stuttered, "W-what?"

"To help you understand, let me explain," Han Xifeng continued, "Your father did many things that deeply hurt and angered Brother Feng. His betrayal of my tribe was a great disappointment and a source of anger for Brother Feng. He was further infuriated by your father's announcement of an alliance with Wang Jian."

At the mention of his name, Wang Jian's face broke into a smile.

Fen Shuying was still reeling in shock as she tried to process the revelation. "Brother Feng killed my father for these reasons?" she repeated in disbelief.

"A few days after announcing his alliance with Wang Jian, your father set up a camp near our lair and invited Brother Feng for a meeting. I don't exactly know what went wrong in the meeting as he refused to give me details, but Brother Feng was infuriated enough to attack your father. You know what happened after that," Han Xifeng concluded the story.

As Han Xifeng spoke, Fen Shuying's memory was jolted by the note she had found near her father's canvas.

Realization dawned on her as she thought, 'It must have been during that meeting that Brother Feng discovered my father's secret collaboration with Wang Jian. That means someone within our clan is aware of the secret and has leaked it to me and then to Brother Feng.'

Fen Shuying was seething with anger towards the traitor in her midst. But her anger wasn't solely directed at the informant; she was also beginning to feel a growing resentment towards Lin Feng.

'How could he have acted so recklessly?' She fumed as she thought about it.

'He attacked my father without even verifying the truth of that letter! He didn't even think to inform me, his fiancé, of what was going on! He didn't even consider how this would impact my clan's future!'

'I was a fool to ever trust him,' she thought, her eyes flashing with anger. 'I gave him my love and my loyalty, and he repaid me with this?!''

Her mind whirled with dark thoughts as she imagined the various ways she could make him pay for his actions. She vowed, her eyes flashing with a fierce intensity, 'I will show him no mercy, no pity. He will suffer for what he's done, and I will relish every moment of it.'

Wang Jian could easily read her thoughts by the look on her face. He gazed at Han Xifeng and nodded slightly. It was time to wrap up this meeting.

At this moment, Wang Jian's guards suddenly barged inside and spoke, "Your Highness. We saw these women plant suspicious thyme around the outpost."

Wang Jian raised his brow upon hearing those words. He looked in Han Xifeng's direction and noticed she was smiling.

Before Wang Jian could realize the meaning behind that smile, the entire outpost shook with a violent tremor that sent everyone staggering to maintain their balance.

In a sudden burst of motion, Han Xifeng bolted out of the door with her subordinates, leaving the outpost in haste.

"What is going on?" Fen Shuying wondered aloud as she struggled to maintain her balance.

Wang Jian's sharp eye caught Han Xifeng's movements, and he realized what was happening. A chilling smirk slowly crept onto his lips as he savored the unfolding of events.

'What an interesting development… It appears that this woman purposely selected this outpost for the meeting due to its proximity to the Thundering Hemlock Woods, where she could utilize her herb to attract the nearby beasts and initiate a beast horde. She wants to kill the two of us. Is it to preserve her secret? Most likely.'

'However, isn't she too foolish? She knows that I am a Lord Realm expert, and even dozens of Origin Realm Beasts would never harm m-' Wang Jian's thoughts were interrupted as he heard a deafening howl.

This howl wasn't just sound, and it was also infused with powerful Qi. Powerful Qi that could only belong to a Lord Realm Beast.

"…We need to leave immediately!" Fen Shuying shouted.

Wang Jian nodded his head as he spoke, "Grab my hand. My speed is much greater than yours."

Fen Shuying had no time to hesitate as the tremors intensified. The Lord Ranked Beast was coming closer!

Wang Jian held her soft hand and immediately rushed outside the outpost.

As the two finally left the outpost, they witnessed the sight ahead of them.

Even Wang Jian was startled as he saw dozens of beasts charging towards them at full speed. All these beasts appeared to be Lightning Attribute Beasts. Some were Lightning Stags, Bolt Jackals, Tempest Strider, Electric Snakes and many more.

However, Wang Jian wasn't scared of these beasts. The beast that actually caught his eye was none other than the largest beast among them all. It was a Thunderbolt Behemoth!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Thunderbolt Behemoth is a massive beast that towers over most creatures with its massive, muscular frame. Its fur is a deep shade of midnight blue, and it crackles with sparks of electricity, highlighting the rippling muscles beneath. Its eyes, a fierce shade of yellow, seem to glow with an inner fire, and its razor-sharp claws and fangs glint in the light.

Thunderbolt Behemoth's body is built for strength and speed, with powerful legs that allow it to move with incredible agility. Its chest is broad and imposing, and its thick neck supports a massive head with a wide, powerful jaw. Its roar is like thunder, reverberating through the air and striking fear into the hearts of its enemies.

"…It's heading straight for us!" Fen Shuying exclaimed.

Wang Jian grunted in agreement as he heard her words. He was thinking how he should resolve this situation.

It wasn't that he was scared of facing this beast, 'If I utilize my full power, I can defeat it. But…how else can I take advantage of this situation?'

~~

As Wang Jian held Fen Shuying tightly in his arms, he gazed at her with a calculating look. 'I must play my cards carefully,' he thought to himself.

'I will reveal only the power at Origin Realm.'

He sprinted towards his mansion, clutching Fen Shuying's hand as they ran. She felt like she was flying through the air, unable to even touch the ground with her feet.

But the sight before her eyes was nothing short of pure horror. The beasts were gaining on them with every passing second, their ferocious roars echoing in her ears.

Fen Shuying spoke up, urging Wang Jian to release her, "Please let me go. You can escape without me. They won't catch up.

Wang Jian let out a contemptuous sigh as he thought to himself, 'And here comes the melodrama.'

"…Shut it!" Wang Jian responded coldly.

"Leave me! You can at least save yourself, then. If you remain stubborn, both of us will die," Fen Shuying shouted.

Wang Jian remained silent as he continued to run.

Fen Shuying continued to demand him to leave her, but Wang Jian ignored her.

As the beasts closed in on them, Fen Shuying's heart raced with terror. She had never imagined that she would one day be chased by fierce creatures before, and now they were all around her, teeth bared and claws ready to strike. But as she looked up at Wang Jian, she saw a fierce determination in his eyes that gave her hope.

Without letting go of Fen Shuying's hand, Wang Jian used his Origin Fist to punch the ground, creating a shockwave that sent several beasts flying.

He then followed up with a Beam of Destruction, a burst of flame that struck down several more.

The remaining beasts lunged forward, but Wang Jian summoned his Mystic Force, creating a powerful barrier of pure qi that blocked their attacks.

Fen Shuying could only watch in awe as Wang Jian fought with the grace and skill of a true warrior. He moved quickly, dodging the beasts' attacks and striking back with precision and force. And through it all, he never let go of her hand, keeping her safe from harm.

But as the battle raged on, Fen Shuying suddenly found herself in danger. One of the beasts had broken through Wang Jian's defenses and was charging straight at her.

Just as it was about to strike, Wang Jian leapt forward, using his Divine Shielding Iron Body to withstand the beast's attack and save her life.

The beast let out a loud roar, preparing to attack again. But before it could, Wang Jian unleashed a devastating blow with the Origin Fist, shattering the beast's skull.

At this moment, the other beasts suddenly lunged at him, but he was too fast. He dodged and weaved, his fists connecting with their bodies with deadly accuracy.

Suddenly, Wang Jian sensed the presence of an even more formidable foe approaching. He turned to face the Thunderbolt Behemoth, a massive creature with crackling lightning coursing through its body. Its eyes glowed with an ominous blue light as it prepared to attack.

Wang Jian knew that he would have to utilize his trump card if he wanted to continue to conceal his cultivation. He drew upon his spirit and summoned the Twin Headed Dark Flame Python.

As he called upon the spirit's power, his flames grew hotter, and his attacks became even more ferocious.

The Thunderbolt Behemoth roared and charged towards Wang Jian, its massive claws tearing up the earth beneath it.

But Wang Jian was ready, and with a mighty roar of his own, he unleashed a torrent of fire at the behemoth.

The flames engulfed the behemoth, scorching its fur and sending it reeling back in agony. But the behemoth was not so easily defeated, and it retaliated with a bolt of lightning that crackled through the air towards Wang Jian.

Wang Jian dodged the lightning bolt with a deft movement and countered with another fierce attack. The Twin Headed Dark Flame Python glowed brightly as it unleashed a devastating blast of fire that struck the behemoth head-on.

The impact of the attack was immense, and the Thunderbolt Behemoth roared in pain as it was knocked back several feet. But it was not yet defeated, and it charged towards Wang Jian once more, its eyes gleaming with rage.

The Twin Headed Dark Flame Python suddenly released flame energy that revolved around Wang Jian's fist as he utilized the Origin Fist. The air crackled with energy as his fist connected with the beast's hide, sending a shockwave through the forest. The Thunderbolt Behemoth staggered back, its lightning aura flickering.

Wang Jian followed up with the Beam of Destruction, unleashing a beam of fiery energy from his palm that scorched the ground as it tore towards the beast.

The Thunderbolt Behemoth countered with a blast of lightning.

This blast of lightning easily pierced through the Beam of Destruction and was about to strike Wang Jian and Fen Shuying. However, Wang Jian immediately activated his Divine Shielding Iron Body, taking the attack head-on.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

The battle between the two raged on, with Wang Jian utilizing his skills to keep the beast at bay. He used the Mystic Force to cloak himself in a shimmering shield of energy, deflecting the beast's attacks.

Undeterred, the Thunderbolt Behemoth charged again, but Wang Jian was ready. He summoned the Mystic Force, which shrouded his body in a nimbus of flames and launched a Beam of Destruction at the beast. The beam struck the Thunderbolt Behemoth with incredible force, driving it back and leaving it dazed.

Wang Jian took advantage of the opening and continued his attack, unleashing a series of devastating blows with his Origin Fist, each one driving the Thunderbolt Behemoth back further.

As the beast staggered, he felt it was time to launch that final attack. This was an attack belonging to his Spirit.

As the Inferno Annihilation was unleashed, a blazing inferno erupted from the Twin Headed Dark Flame Python spirit and enveloped the Thunderbolt Behemoth.

Lightning crackled around the Thunderbolt Behemoth as it tried to summon the last bits of its energy to attack Wang Jian. Naturally, Wang Jian couldn't allow that.

He immediately utilized the power of qi at the Lord Realm to turn the flames even hotter. The flames were so powerful at this moment that the Thunderbolt Behemoth, once so fearsome and unstoppable, was reduced to ash and cinders.

The Inferno Annihilation was a devastating attack that left a smoking crater where the Thunderbolt Behemoth once stood. The heat from the flames was intense, scorching the ground and leaving a trail of molten earth behind.

Wang Jian's face was covered in sweat as he panted heavily, his chest heaving.

As Wang Jian's fiery gaze fell upon the surrounding beasts, they instinctively backed away, trembling with fear. Even the thought of challenging him seemed ludicrous, as his sheer power was too intimidating to fathom. It was as if the mere sight of him made them realize their own helplessness, compelling them to retreat with their tails tucked between their legs.

Fen Shuying was awestruck as she witnessed the terrifying display of Wang Jian's power. Her eyes widened in amazement as she watched him effortlessly decimate the Thunderbolt Behemoth with his fiery spirit. She had never seen anything like this before and was left speechless at the sight of the overwhelming force he possessed.

As the other beasts backed away from Wang Jian, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over her.

"Thank you," she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper.

Wang Jian turned to her with a smile, relief washing over him. "I told you I wouldn't let anything happen to you," he said, his voice hoarse from the battle.

Fen Shuying nodded, a look of admiration on her face. She had initially despised Wang Jian, but now she saw him in a different light.

He had shown her true courage and kindness in the face of danger, and she knew that she would never forget this moment for the rest of her life.

Wang Jian noticed her expression and couldn't help but sign contemptuously, 'The fact that this cliché trick works so easily leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Well, I guess it's cliché for a reason.'

"Let's head home now. There is no telling when those beasts might return," Wang Jian spoke.

"Right," Fen Shuying spoke.

As the beasts had destroyed their chariots and brutally massacred Wang Jian's guards, the only option left for them was to walk back to the estate.

During their journey, Fen Shuying closed the distance between them and reached out to grab Wang Jian's hand, willingly intertwining her fingers with his.

Wang Jian's attention was caught by the reddish tint on her face that she seemed to be trying to hide out of embarrassment. His lips curled into a devious smile as he noticed this.

As they entered the estate, a servant rushed to Lady Xia to inform her of the news.

"Milady," the servant said, gasping for breath. "His Highness and Young Miss have returned."

Lady Xia was in her bedroom, reading a book, but upon hearing the news, she put it down and made her way to the living room to greet her daughter.

As she reached the living room, Lady Xian saw her daughter and Wang Jian entering the door while holding hands.

Lady Xia raised her eyebrows in surprise and smiled inwardly but made no comment about their gesture of affection. Fen Shuying's face turned red when she saw her mother, and she quickly withdrew her hand from Wang Jian's grasp. She rushed over to Lady Xia and hugged her tightly, seeking comfort after their terrifying experience.

"Mother, we were attacked by beasts on the way back," she exclaimed.

Lady Xia's eyes widened in shock. "What?! Are you alright? Are you hurt?" she asked, quickly examining her daughter for any signs of injury.

Fen Shuying shook her head. "No, I'm fine. Wang Jian protected me with all his might," she said, glancing over at Wang Jian with admiration in her eyes.

Wang Jian simply smiled and nodded. "It was nothing, Lady Xia. I'm just glad that we both made it back safely," he said.

Lady Xia looked at him with gratitude filling her eyes.

"Thank you, Wang Jian. You have my gratitude for protecting my daughter," she said, bowing her head slightly.

As the night wore on, Wang Jian took his leave and bowed respectfully to Lady Xia and Fen Shuying before exiting the estate. Fen Shuying watched him go with a sense of longing, feeling a strange pull towards him that she couldn't quite understand.

Lady Xia noticed her daughter's contemplative expression and asked gently, "What are you thinking about, my dear?"

Fen Shuying took a deep breath before speaking. "Mother, I have something to tell you. It's about Lin Feng," she said, her voice shaking.

Lady Xia raised her brow as she saw the seriousness in her daughter's eyes. "What is it, my dear?" she asked.

Fen Shuying took another deep breath. "I've found out that Lin Feng was the one who killed Father," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Lady Xia's eyes widened in shock. "What? How did you find out?" she asked, concern etched on her face.

Fen Shuying explained everything that had happened in the meeting and how she had come to know the truth.

"I don't know what to do, Mother. How could I have been so blind?" she said, tears streaming down her face.

Lady Xia placed a comforting hand on her daughter's shoulder. "You were in love, my dear. It's easy to overlook things when we're blinded by love," she said, trying to console her daughter.

Fen Shuying wiped away a tear and looked up at her mother. "And that's why I feel so foolish," she said. "When I compare Wang Jian to Lin Feng, I realize how much better Wang Jian is in every way. He's more handsome, he has better status, he's more powerful, brave, and has a good personality."

Lady Xia smiled knowingly. "Yes, my dear, I have noticed how Wang Jian looks at you," she said. "He seems to care for you deeply."

Fen Shuying blushed at those words.

"He's been so kind to me, Mother," she said. "He protected me today and made sure I was safe. And when we were walking back to the estate, he held my hand...I felt so safe with him."

Lady Xia's smile grew wider. "Well, my dear, I think that tells you all you need to know," she said. "Wang Jian is a good man, and he clearly cares for you. Maybe it's time for you to consider him as a potential partner."

Fen Shuying nodded thoughtfully, feeling a sense of warmth in her chest at the thought of being with Wang Jian. "Thank you, Mother. I'll think about it," she said, her voice filled with gratitude.

The two women continued to talk about this matter for some more time.

However, they had no idea that Wang Jian was listening in to their conversation. He had secretly used his Shadow Clone technique to create a clone of himself, which had taken a position in the shadows near the room.

As Wang Jian listened to the conversation, a sinister grin spread across his face.

His eyes glimmered with a twisted and malevolent desire for Lady Xia's body, and he revelled in the thought of finally achieving his goal.

'At last, Lady Xia has played her part perfectly,' he thought to himself, savoring the feeling of power and control.

]

Wang Jian wondered how he should invest his points. He didn't feel like upgrading his cultivation technique as his Qi was sufficiently strong. And merely increasing his cultivation to the Ninth Stage of the Lord Realm also felt like a waste.

'I guess I will keep them in store for now.'

As Wang Jian made his way back to his grand mansion, his thoughts were consumed with the stunning Kang Huian. However, his focus was abruptly interrupted by a powerful aura that was quickly approaching his residence.

Wang Jian's expression grew dark as he activated his Spiritual Sensitivity, scanning the area for this individual.

Within moments, Wang Jian homed in on the intruder's exact location, mere miles away from his opulent mansion.

Without a moment's hesitation, he launched himself into action, moving with lightning speed to intercept the mysterious individual before they could even set foot on his property.

Wang Jian was caught off guard when he came face to face with none other than Lin Feng himself, who wore a bewildered expression.

In a moment of synchronicity, they both posed the same question, "What are you doing here?"

The perplexed expression on Lin Feng's face quickly transformed into a mask of rage as he bellowed, "Excellent! I was looking for you, anyway. Where are Huian and Xian'er? What have you done to them?!"

His tone was seething with fury, leaving no doubt that he was beyond irate.

As Lin Feng raged with anger, Wang Jian's shocked expression quickly morphed into a sinister smirk. He replied with a taunting tone, "Why do you ask? Huian and Xian'er are my women, and they are quite content in my company. Perhaps you should mind your own business."

"Lies! How dare you suggest that my women would willingly live with a despicable monster like you?!" Lin Feng roared with fury, his grip tightening around the Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword. The Sacred Lightning crackled with golden fury, ready to strike at any moment.

Wang Jian sneered with contempt, "Your beliefs mean nothing to me. The reality is that those women are under my roof, and to be honest, they've proven to be quite useful in serving my needs."

"Arrogant scum! You have crossed the line!" Lin Feng bellowed with an overwhelming rage that seemed to shake the very foundation of the earth.

Trembling with wrath, Lin Feng wielded the heavenly sword in his hand, unleashing a ferocious bolt of lightning directly at Wang Jian.

Sensing the imminent danger, Wang Jian's instincts kicked in, and he deftly evaded the lightning strike.

As the bolt grazed past him, Wang Jian's keen senses alerted him to the sheer power of the Holy Qi coursing through the lightning. He knew that if the bolt had struck him, even he would suffer severe injuries.

In a moment of crisis, Wang Jian's thoughts were drawn to the section in his status report that warned of his vulnerability to Holy Qi.

'Holy Attribute,' he thought cautiously, 'this lightning must possess it. I can't afford to let it strike me!'

As he watched Lin Feng unleash the full power of his lightning qi, Wang Jian couldn't help but raise his brows in question.

'This guy is lucky,' he mused, 'he possesses one of my two weaknesses. And even though he's only at the Origin Realm, the power of his lightning qi is nearly on par with that of a Lord Realm beast.'

'Should I try to kill him?' Wang Jian contemplated this possibility.

By utilizing his True Eyes ability, Wang Jian compared his luck to Lin Feng's.

[

Luck -

Host: 3219

Lin Feng: 3761

]

'It's not much higher than mine. But the question is why is it still higher? I have already taken away three of his women. Is Han Xifeng that crucial to him, or am I missing something?'

While Wang Jian was lost in contemplation, Lin Feng saw this as an opportunity and unleashed his lightning-based techniques.

Lin Feng utilized the Holy Thunderclap, a technique that caused lightning to rain down from the sky. But Wang Jian was too quick, using his Moonshadow Step to dodge the lightning bolts.

Wang Jian retaliated with Origin Fist, a devastating punch that sent a shockwave through the air. Lin Feng managed to dodge, but the ground beneath his feet crumbled from the impact.

But Wang Jian was not finished. He followed up with a Beam of Destruction, a beam of light that shot forth from his outstretched hand, obliterating everything in its path. Lin Feng tried to dodge, but the beam was too fast, and he was hit squarely in the chest. He felt his body shudder as the energy coursed through him, leaving him reeling and gasping for breath.

Wang Jian pressed his advantage, summoning his Mystic Force to surround himself in a swirling vortex of qi energy.

Lin Feng frowned as he saw that Wang Jian had utilized a technique to boost his energy even further.

In that earlier exchange, Lin Feng had gauged that Wang Jian's qi was much superior compared to his own. It was only the special nature of his qi that he could fight Wang Jian on equal terms. But that didn't scare him.

Meanwhile, Wang Jian refrained from utilizing his techniques related to the devil bloodline to attack Lin Feng. The only technique of his devil bloodline he utilized until now was the Moonshadow Step. But that was to dodge those deadly thunderbolts.

"…You have improved quite a lot," Wang Jian commented.

Lin Feng spat while glaring at his adversary, "I can say the same about you. I never imagined that you would be a Lord Realm cultivator. You really hid your true strength too deeply."

Wang Jian rolled his eyes as he didn't even feel like responding to that dull comment.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Lin Feng executed the Lightning Step, propelling himself at lightning speed towards Wang Jian while leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

Although Wang Jian could effortlessly follow Lin Feng's rapid movement, he still remained rooted in his position.

With precision, Lin Feng unleashed several Thunderbolt Slashes from multiple angles, each strike capable of inflicting immense damage on Wang Jian.

Despite the ferocity of the attacks, Wang Jian stood firm, his body shimmering with a silver radiance, signaling the activation of the Divine Shielding Iron Body.

As the Sacred Lightning's Holy Attribute coursed through his body, Wang Jian withstood the agonizing pain and suddenly reflected these attacks back at Lin Feng.

Caught off-guard, Lin Feng found himself on the receiving end of his own attacks, his expression betraying his surprise and disbelief.

A Thunderbolt Slash struck him squarely on his chest and flung him away.

Wang Jian immediately approached Lin Feng while utilizing Moonshadow Step.

Lin Feng's body trembled as he struggled to stand up. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, a sign of the severe injury he had sustained from that earlier attack.

Despite the excruciating pain, Lin Feng refused to give up. He knew that continuing to fight with his current approach would lead to his defeat. With his determination and willpower, he had to rely on his spirit to turn the tide of the battle.

The Celestial Storm Tiger!

It was Lin Feng's formidable spirit, which he had unlocked with the aid of a mystical treasure from the Mystic Angel Tribe. This spirit was the source of his lightning and holy attributes.

As Wang Jian caught a glimpse of the spirit, he sensed the Twin-Headed Dark Flame Viper within him stirring restlessly. He judged from the spirit's aura alone that the Celestial Storm Tiger surpassed his own spirit by a significant margin.

Moreover, with the sacred qi emanating from it, it wouldn't be surprising if the Celestial Storm Tiger overwhelmed his spirit.

Standing at just over four feet tall, the Celestial Storm Tiger was not particularly large. However, its lithe body was densely packed with energy, giving it a compact and muscular appearance. Its head was adorned with curved, lightning-shaped horns that crackled with energy, and its eyes were a bright, piercing blue that seemed to sparkle with electricity.

The Celestial Storm Tiger let out a fierce roar as it locked onto Wang Jian and in a flash, pounced towards him, unleashing a powerful ability known as Thunderous Claws.

With lightning energy crackling along the spirit's claws, it ferociously attacked Wang Jian.

Naturally, Wang Jian dodged the initial attack by this spirit and quickly counterattacked with a powerful Origin Fist.

This time, Wang Jian had no fear of killing Lin Feng, so he utilized his full strength.

Rather than directly striking the Celestial Storm Tiger, Wang Jian released a potent qi blast that sent the spirit hurtling away.

Lin Feng quickly rose to his feet and charged towards Wang Jian with the Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword, attempting to impale him.

Wang Jian skillfully evaded the attack and countered with an elbow strike, following up with a precisely aimed Origin Fist that landed squarely on Lin Feng's body.

While he held back to avoid killing Lin Feng, the power of the strike was still significant, sending Lin Feng tumbling to the ground.

"Weak!" Wang Jian spat in disdain.

"…I will kill you!" Lin Feng bellowed angrily. He rose with pure determination shining in his eyes as he began to approach Wang Jian.

The Celestial Spirit Tiger also arose and walked towards Wang Jian with a dangerous look in its eyes.

The Celestial Storm Tiger growled fiercely as it lifted its head and summoned a powerful lightning ball between its jaws. The ball glowed with an intense brightness, crackling and hissing with electricity as it grew in size.

Just as Wang Jian planned to deal with this attack, Lin Feng leapt at him. His entire body was shining with a golden light.

In an instant, he began unleashing a flurry of quick, precise slashes with his Shimmering Blade Blitz technique.

Each slash was executed with flawless precision and incredible speed, creating a blur of motion as Lin Feng closed in on Wang Jian.

Wang Jian had to pay complete concentration to dodge these attacks.

In the meantime, the Celestial Storm Tiger's attack grew in size. This was its Cataclysmic Holy Lightning Ball, one of its strongest attacks.

Once it had grown large enough, the Celestial Storm Tiger roared as it hurled this ball at its target.

Even though Lin Feng was standing so close, he wasn't worried. It was because this attack came from his own spirit. And it wouldn't harm him.

Wang Jian utilized the Beam of Destruction to detonate this lightning ball. It worked perfectly.

As the Cataclysmic Holy Lightning Ball erupted, a blinding light engulfed the entire area, making it impossible to see anything. The thunderous explosion echoed for miles, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.

Wang Jian made a calculated decision to eliminate the Celestial Storm Tiger as it posed a significant threat to him. His body was enveloped in an intense aura as he activated the Mystic Force, augmenting his already formidable power.

With unparalleled speed, he utilized the Moonshadow Step to quickly close the gap between him and the spirit. He unleashed a devastating Origin Fist imbued with his entire essence, causing a deafening explosion on impact.

The force of his attack completely obliterated the Celestial Storm Tiger, leaving no trace of it behind.

Lin Feng employed his utmost effort to prevent Wang Jian from annihilating his spirit, yet he was unsuccessful in doing so.

As the Celestial Storm Tiger was vanquished, Lin Feng's soul was wracked with excruciating pain. This was due to the direct connection between the spirit and his soul, which made the loss of the spirit feel like a devastating blow to his being.

Despite the immense agony wracking his body, Lin Feng refused to cry out. With clenched teeth, he glared daggers at Wang Jian.

In the aftermath of the battle, Lin Feng had come to a sobering realization: he was still too weak to face his adversary head-on. If he truly wanted to achieve his ambition, he knew he had to grow far stronger than he was now.

With sudden swiftness, Lin Feng raised his sword and unleashed the "Lightning Flash Technique."

Wang Jian's body instinctively tensed up, anticipating an attack, but it was actually an escape technique that Lin Feng employed.

With a flash of lightning, Lin Feng darted into the depths of the Mellow Magnolia Woods at an incredible speed.

Although this technique enabled Lin Feng to travel at breakneck speed, it wasn't meant for short distances. Abruptly halting his momentum would cause significant harm to his body.

Wang Jian didn't pursue Lin Feng.

It wasn't that he was incapable, but because he didn't want to kill this guy yet. Through this battle, Wang Jian realized that Lin Feng wasn't a threat to him.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

"…His spirit was sufficiently powerful. Well, as expected of a protagonist. He ought to have some cheats," Wang Jian muttered as he slowly headed back to the mansion.

While he was on his way, Wang Jian wondered about the reason behind Lin Feng's presence.

'He must have come to meet Su Xian and Kang Huian. But why did he seem surprised upon seeing me?'

Suddenly, Wang Jian recalled Han Xifeng, and a realization flashed in his eyes, 'Han Xifeng must have thought that I was killed or gravely injured while dealing with that beast rush. She must have informed Lin Feng to enter the mansion during this time to meet his wives.'

'What a scheming woman. She needs to be handled quickly,' A smirk appeared on Wang Jian's face as he decided this.

He was happy that he had corrupted that pure angel so greatly that she was even preparing schemes like this, even if it was against him.

This was all going according to plan.

Wang Jian returned to his mansion and strode confidently through the opulent halls, his footsteps echoing off the marble floors.

With a sly grin on his face, Wang Jian reached Kang Huian's chambers and silently pushed open the door. The room was shrouded in peaceful orange light from the lantern, with Kang Huian seated on the bed in a meditative state.

Kang Huian. He tiptoed towards her, making sure to suppress the sound of his footsteps.

Once he was close enough, he suddenly snaked his arms around Kang Huian's waist, causing her to jump in shock.

Kang Huian quickly turned around, ready to attack her assailant, but when she saw that it was Wang Jian, her expression relaxed instinctively.

Wang Jian's arms tightened around her waist as he pressed himself closer to her, relishing the feeling of her body against his.

He whispered in her ear, his voice low and seductive, "Did I startle you, my dear?"

As Wang Jian's arms tightened around her waist, Kang Huian felt a cold shiver run down her spine. She knew all too well the reason for his sudden appearance in her chambers.

Despite this, she refused to give him the satisfaction of a response, her face set in a mask of stoicism. She had prepared herself for this moment, fortifying her heart and mind every day.

Wang Jian couldn't help but notice her calmness, and it infuriated him. He took pleasure in destroying her peace of mind, "Do you know who I met just a little while ago? It was your beloved, Lin Feng."

Kang Huian's heart skipped a beat at the mention of Lin Feng's name, and fear took hold of her. She couldn't help but ask, "W-What? Why did you meet him?"

"I didn't have to go to him. He came to me begging for answers. He couldn't fathom why two of his women had submitted to me," Wang Jian chuckled darkly, his eyes glittering with wicked delight as his right-hand groped Kang Huian's buttocks.

Kang Huian's heart raced with anxiety as she asked with a trembling voice, "What did you tell him?"

Wang Jian responded with a smug grin, "Naturally, I told him the truth. That you and Su Xian have served me quite well, just as I expected. It was amusing to see him seethe with anger, but he didn't dare to take any action against me. What a pathetic excuse for a lover he is! Even after finding out that I am sleeping with you and Su Xian, he was more worried about his own miserable life than avenging your honour."

"B-Brother Feng did nothing?" Kang Huian's heart shattered into a million pieces at the revelation of Lin Feng's inaction. The pain was unbearable as if a thousand knives had been thrust into her chest.

Despite enduring Wang Jian's violation countless times, Kang Huian clung to the hope that Lin Feng would come to her rescue and that he would be the hero she always believed him to be.

But Wang Jian's words shattered her dreams. The man she thought would save her didn't even have the courage to confront Wang Jian after learning the truth. The realization left her utterly broken and shattered.

Wang Jian observed her reaction, where it seemed as though tears would leak out of her eyes at any moment.

He spoke in a mocking tone, "You truly deserve to feel this sorrow. Had you not loved such a spineless coward, you wouldn't be experiencing these emotions now."

These words struck a chord in Kang Huian's mind as she found herself agreeing with him.

'…It seems I was foolish for still holding feelings for you in my heart,' Kang Huian thought bitterly.

As she experienced a mix of emotions, a depraved thought crossed her mind, 'If Brother Feng won't help me, then why should I resist any longer? I might as well begin to enjoy it.'

Soon, the two disrobed themselves, revealing their bare flesh to the dimly lit room. Their movements were frenzied, passionate, and filled with pleasure.

As Wang Jian explored every inch of Kang Huian's body, he couldn't help but feel satisfied with her responses. Her moans were unrestrained, and she didn't try to hide the pleasure that coursed through her.

In fact, as Wang Jian thrust inside her, he saw an excited gleam in her eyes, a look of pure ecstasy that told him she was truly enjoying the experience.

Kang Huian's mind had undergone a complete transformation, one that she didn't even realize.

Her mental state had become desensitized to the traumatic events that had befallen her, and her thoughts had taken a depraved turn.

No longer did she seek a way out of her predicament, but instead, she had accepted her fate and began to consider ways to turn it to her advantage. It was a path that would have once been unthinkable for her, but now she saw no other path than this.

Kang Huian's back arched as she felt his member hit her deepest spot.

"Aahhh… your thing is hitting so deep. Aahhh…it feels so damn good…" she moaned.

Wang Jian's hands roamed all over her body, squeezing her breasts and pinching her nipples.

"…Oh yes, yes…This is it…" she shouted in pleasure.

Kang Huian could feel the orgasm building inside her. "I'm gonna come," she whimpered, on the brink of orgasm.

Wang Jian, feeling her body quivering beneath him, reached down and spanked her hard on the ass.

"…Yes. Spank me. Spank me harder," she shouted with a depraved look in her eyes.

As she neared her climax, Kang Huian couldn't hold back her desires any longer.

"Come inside me. Fill me with your seed!" she shouted while losing herself to pleasure.

Finally, with a deep grunt, Wang Jian reached his peak and emptied himself inside her. Kang Huian collapsed beneath him, her body slick with sweat and their juices.

However, Kang Huian knew from her previous experience that Wang Jian was hardly done. In fact, this was just a warm-up.

Wang Jian withdrew his member from her body, his voice commanding as he spoke, "Suck it clean!"

Kang Huian's gaze fixated on his massive, glistening cock that dripped with a mixture of fluids. She wondered how she would ever fit the thing in her mouth. Despite the mild disgust that filled her, she couldn't deny the tingling excitement that coursed through her body at the thought of fulfilling Wang Jian's order.

Wang Jian held her head as she began sucking him with great enthusiasm.

"…Ahh. Yes. This is the way…Be faster…Take it even deeper…" Wang Jian whispered as he instinctively applied force on Kang Huian's head to make his cock reach even deeper.

After a while, he ejaculated into her mouth, and Kang Huian swallowed it without any hesitation. The sticky liquid, however, was too much as it dribbled out of the corners of her mouth.

Wang Jian slowly pulled his member out of her mouth. It caused more of his cum to spill out of Kang Huian's mouth.

As Wang Jian pulled his member out of her mouth, Kang Huian eagerly licked the remnants off her lips, feeling a mixture of satisfaction and shame.

Wang Jian's eyes gleamed with lust as he whispered for her to turn around. Kang Huian obeyed, feeling a mix of fear and excitement.

Wang Jian raised her leg and inserted his member inside her, and they began a passionate session of lovemaking. He took her in multiple positions, hitting all her pleasure points and driving her wild with ecstasy.

As the night wore on, Kang Huian's body was marked with bite marks on her breasts and reddish bruises on her buttocks, but she didn't care.

After dozens of rounds, they finally collapsed onto the bed, utterly satisfied.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

As the sun began to rise, Wang Jian and Kang Huian stirred from their slumber, their bare bodies entangled in the sheets. With a languid stretch, they climbed out of bed and made their way to the bathroom for a quick shower.

After a few minutes, the two were indulging each other in a quick round of passionate sex in the bathroom, enjoying each other's naked bodies.

Kang Huian savored the sensation of the hot water raining down on her as Wang Jian pressed himself against her from behind, kissing her neck and fondling her breasts.

Once they were done, they returned to the room, their bodies still glistening with water. Kang Huian looked for her clothes, but they were nowhere to be found.

She remembered the previous night, how they had stripped naked before getting down to business. Wang Jian, on the other hand, seemed unfazed and began dressing up with a self-assured swagger.

As she slipped into her dress, Kang Huian couldn't help but feel a sense of shame and disgust at herself for what had happened. Despite the deepening pit of guilt, she couldn't deny the raw pleasure she experienced with Wang Jian

She knew deep down that what she had done was a twisted form of revenge against Lin Feng.

"You have finally begun to enjoy the pleasure," Wang Jian commented with a depraved smile on his face.

Kang Huian shifted her gaze away, feeling uneasy as she nibbled on her lower lip. After a brief pause, she uttered in a low voice, "Why do you treat me so despicably?"

"Previously, it was because you belonged to Lin Feng," Wang Jian replied indifferently, "But now, it's simply because I relish the sight of you writhing under me."

"Perhaps if your actions were more noble and kind, our relationship would have taken a different course," Kang Huian stated.

"This is no point thinking of such a possibility. Instead, you should think more about how you are going to live from this point," Wang Jian responded as he left the room.

The conversation was pretty much over for him.

After Wang Jian left, Kang Huian couldn't help but contemplate deeply, '…After what happened last night, I can never turn back. I should focus on increasing my strength. Only then can I regain control of my fate!'

Wang Jian strode through the mansion and soon found himself in the company of Su Xian. He led her to a spacious hall, the Spirit Awakening Hall, which lay empty and barren.

The hall had been designed to enable the warriors or even guards in Wang Jian's mansion to awaken their spirits and harness their inner strength.

As the duo stepped inside, a pair of maids hastened over and began preparing the necessary items for the spirit awakening ritual.

They lit a bundle of fragrant incense sticks and placed them in a brass censer, which emitted a thick cloud of smoke that wafted through the air.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Awakening Artifact consists of a small metallic orb about the size of a fist, with intricate designs etched all over its surface. It is made of a special alloy of metals and infused with a rare crystal that emits a faint glow.

This artifact was placed over the cloud of smoke, and it levitated effortlessly.

The smoke fused with the power within the artifact creating a mysterious energy.

This mysterious energy felt somewhat familiar to Wang Jian as he thought, 'Isn't this similar to the System's energy that provides me with those benefits.'

He then asked the system with a low voice, "System, is this the same as your energy?"

[Answering the host's question, this energy is inferior compared to the system's energy. The core of our energy is the same as we utilize the World Essence, but the energy within this orb can only awaken an individual's spirit. It has no other functionality.]

"I see…"

Once the metallic orb was bustling with energy, Wang Jian spoke, "Place your hand over it and concentrate. This artifact will do the rest."

"Mhm!" Without hesitation, Su Xian complied with Wang Jian's orders and rested her hand on the orb. As soon as she made contact, the orb radiated a brilliant azure light that enveloped her entire body.

The energy surged through Su Xian, causing her to levitate in the air. Her eyes were closed as she concentrated on channelling her spirit.

Unknown to her, her spirit was taking the shape of a powerful bird - the Ice Phoenix.

The bird gradually materialized and began to take flight within the hall, spreading its wings majestically.

Wang Jian's eyes widened with shock as he stared at this Ice Phoenix. However, he regained his composure quickly enough and thought, 'As expected of her identity as a Heroine.'

'I wonder what spirits Lin Feng's other women possess. Never really heard of it,' Wang Jian thought.

Wang Jian shook Su Xian and spoke, "Your spirit has awakened. You can stop concentrating now."

Su Xian's body suddenly stopped levitating, and Wang Jian caught her before she fell to the ground.

She weakly opened her eyes and finally saw her spirit. Even though she felt so weak after awakening this majestic spirit, she still smiled brightly.

"Thank you. Thank you, Jian," She suddenly kissed his lips.

As the two continued to kiss, Su Xian lost her concentration to maintain the Ice Phoenix, and it gradually dematerialized as the spiritual energy returned to her body.

The two finally parted after a couple of minutes.

"Get some rest, Xian'er. I understand how draining the awakening process can be," Wang Jian spoke with gentle authority, leaving no room for objections.

With great care, he lifted her up and carried her to her chambers, where he gently laid her on the soft bed, ensuring that she was comfortable. Quietly, he slipped out of the room, leaving Su Xian to rest and recover.

After leaving Su Xian's chambers, Wang Jian headed towards Fen Shuying's estate. As it was still early afternoon, he felt that it would be an opportune time to spend some quality time with the woman.

Given her current favourable impression of him, he knew that it was important to capitalize on this situation to its fullest extent.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Wang Jian strolled with Fen Shuying in the courtyard of her estate, admiring the beautiful flowers and trees. They engaged in light conversation, discussing random matters like the weather and even food.

As they continued walking, Fen Shuying suddenly started talking about her father and how he had taught her various skills, including martial arts and her responsibilities as the heiress of the Night Dagger Clan.

In turn, Wang Jian spoke of his status as a prince, revealing that he was the seventh prince of the Everlasting Mystic Empire.

Fen Shuying was shocked to learn that Wang Jian was the seventh prince of the Everlasting Mystic Empire. She had never met a prince before and couldn't believe that she was spending time with one.

As they continued their walk, they came across a beautiful pond. Wang Jian showed her how to fish as they spent their time.

Without the two realizing, multiple hours passed as the sun began to set.

Wang Jian and Fen Shuying strolled back to the estate, still enjoying the conversation they had in the courtyard.

As they entered, Lady Xia, Fen Shuying's mother, came out to greet them. She smiled warmly and gestured for them to sit down at a nearby table.

Lady Xia brewed some tea and poured it into two cups before handing them over to the guests.

"Please enjoy the tea," she said with a gentle voice.

Wang Jian smiled back at her, thanking her for the tea as he took his cup. But as he sipped the hot liquid, his gaze couldn't help but wander to Lady Xia's curves. He tried to hide his lecherous thoughts with a polite demeanor, but his eyes lingered on her a little too long, taking in her every feature.

Lady Xia seemed oblivious to his perverted gaze as she served Fen Shuying her tea, chatting away about the day's events. But Wang Jian couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to have her under him.

As the night crept in, Wang Jian rose from his seat, signalling his intention to depart from the estate.

However, Lady Xia politely proposed, "Why don't you stay the night here? I am sure Shuying would be delighted."

"Yes. I still have lots to talk to you about," Fen Shuying spoke a bit too excitedly.

Wang Jian pondered for a moment, considering the offer before ultimately acquiescing with a nod. "If it's not an inconvenience, then I shall accept your gracious invitation," he replied with a smile.

Lady Xia's face lit up with delight at Wang Jian's response. "Wonderful," she exclaimed before instructing a servant to prepare a guest room for him.

Fen Shuying suggested they pass the time by playing some games. She led the way to a well-furnished room where they found various games laid out. Wang Jian was impressed by the collection, and the two began to play.

As they sat together, enjoying a game of chess and some light conversation, Wang Jian finally decided to take the plunge.

"Shuying, I must confess something to you," he said, his voice low and serious. "I find myself attracted to you in a way that I can't ignore anymore."

Fen Shuying was taken aback by his sudden confession, and her heart raced with anticipation. She responded with a stutter, "W-what do you mean?"

Wang Jian took a deep breath, and after some hesitation, he leaned in towards her and softly whispered, "I mean that I have feelings for you."

"I...I don't know what to say," she stammered. "I never expected that… I mean, you're a prince while I am just the heiress of a lowly tribe."

Wang Jian reached out to take her hand in his own. "Those things don't matter to me, Shuying. What matters is the way you make me feel. You are special to me."

Fen Shuying's heart was pounding as she looked into his eyes, searching for any indication of his sincerity.

After a moment, she finally gave in to her own feelings and whispered back, "I like you too."

Without them realizing it, the two leaned towards each other. Wang Jian pressed his lips against hers and pulled her into a passionate kiss.

As the two broke apart, both breathing heavily, Fen Shuying spoke, "…I have been wanting to do this for quite a while."

Wang Jian's face lit up with a triumphant smile as he drew her closer, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss again. As they kissed, his hands began to wander, tracing the curves of her waist and sliding down to cup her shapely buttocks.

The sensation of her soft skin beneath his fingertips sent a jolt of desire through him, and he couldn't resist squeezing her flesh gently.

Fen Shuying moaned softly, the sound sending a thrill through him as he deepened the kiss, his tongue seeking entrance into her mouth.

As they kissed, he knew that he wanted more, much more, and he was certain that Fen Shuying felt the same way.

As their lips parted, Fen Shuying couldn't help but gasp heavily as she spoke, "…You are so naughty."

"Hehe…This is just the start," Wang Jian whispered with a smirk.

Fen Shuying tried to get out of his grasp, but Wang Jian pulled her in for a third kiss. It didn't take long for Fen Shuying to melt into a passion.

Her emotions were stimulated perfectly, and her logical mind stopped working for some time. She was so lost in passion that she didn't realize when her body had reached the bed.

As she kissed Wang Jian for the fourth time, she didn't realize when Wang Jian tore her clothes, and she became completely naked for him.

As their lust intensified, Fen Shuying was consumed by her overwhelming desire. The intensity of her raw emotions was something she had never felt before, and it drove her wild with passion.

Wang Jian's massive member penetrated her virgin body, causing a mix of pain and pleasure. But as they continued, Fen Shuying's pleasure soared to a new level, and she found herself lost in a world of pure ecstasy.

Wang Jian was overjoyed at the sensation of her tightness, relishing the experience of taking her virginity. As they continued, their desire for each other reached new heights, and they were consumed by their passionate lovemaking.

It didn't take long for the night to pass.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

The next day, Wang Jian awoke much earlier than Fen Shuying. He ordered a maid to bring a dress from her chambers.

The maid obeyed his orders and brought this dress. She was dismissed after this task.

Wang Jian shook Fen Shuying and jolted her awake. Once she woke up, she was startled to see the room and the condition of the bed sheets.

Very quickly, the memory of the previous night returned to her.

She immediately stared at Wang Jian staring at her with a perverted gleam in his eyes. She couldn't help but throw a pillow and shout, "…You rascal. You couldn't wait, could you?"

Wang Jian easily deflected that pillow while responding, "Nope. It's all because you are too beautiful."

Fen Shuying suddenly paused as she was about to hurl the second pillow at Wang Jian. She shyly asked, "Really? Do you really think that?"

"Nopes!" Wang Jian responded as he quickly left the room.

Fen Shuying was instantly angered as she threw the pillow at him, but it struck the door.

After Wang Jian was gone, Fen Shuying stood up and immediately stumbled as she fell on the floor. The last night was really too intense for her, and she couldn't even walk straight.

Fen Shuying had to utilize her Qi to suppress this pain and then wear the dress that the maid had brought.

After wearing that dress, she headed out while enduring that pain. She couldn't help but grit her teeth, "Damnit. That bastard is so heartless. It was my first time, but he still did it so roughly!"

At this time, Wang Jian was seated in the grand dining hall, savouring the lavish breakfast spread before him, while Lady Xia sat across from him. A maid was dutifully serving him, refilling his cup with hot tea.

Soon, Fen Shuying entered the room and sat beside him as another maid brought her a plate of food. Wang Jian's eyes lingered on her as she ate, her rosy lips delicately nibbling on the food.

"So, how was your night?" Lady Xia inquired, her voice filled with curiosity. "Did you have fun playing those games?"

A knowing smile appeared on Wang Jian's face as he gazed at Fen Shuying, "It sure was fun. We were so engrossed that we didn't realize when the time passed."

Wang Jian's smile widened as he cast a suggestive look towards Fen Shuying, "It was a night I'll never forget," he said. "We were so engrossed that we lost track of time."

Fen Shuying blushed furiously as she averted her gaze, feeling embarrassed by his suggestive tone. Lady Xia remained unaware of the underlying meaning of his words as she gazed at them with a smile.

"I am delighted to hear that," Lady Xia spoke.

As they finished their breakfast, Wang Jian stood up and said, "It was a wonderful stay, but I should get going now. I have some work to attend to."

Lady Xia smiled graciously, "You're always welcome here. Please visit us again soon."

~~

After Wang Jian's encounter with Lin Feng, he had spent his nights in the company of Kang Huian and Fen Shuying respectively.

On the other hand, Lin Feng's luck wasn't as favourable. He had barely managed to reach the lair of the Miracle Angel Tribe using the Lightning Flash technique.

The tribe's members had treated him with a mixture of herbs and their healing techniques to aid in his recovery.

As he regained enough strength to talk, Lin Feng revealed to Han Xifeng the details of his injuries sustained during the battle with Wang Jian.

Han Xifeng was taken aback by the news of Lin Feng's encounter with Wang Jian, as she had never anticipated such an encounter.

She couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled deep within her since hearing about Lin Feng's encounter with Wang Jian. She couldn't help but worry that Wang Jian would come looking for her soon.

The thought of facing Wang Jian filled her with fear and made her nights restless and sleepless. She would toss and turn in her bed, her mind racing with thoughts of what she would do if he showed up at her doorstep.

There is a common saying that suggests dwelling on negative thoughts increases the probability of them manifesting into reality.

This saying turned true in this situation as Han Xifeng received a message on her shadow, indicating that Wang Jian had sought her out.

A sense of foreboding gripped her heart upon realizing that he had indeed come.

Nonetheless, her anxiety was slightly alleviated by the fact that Wang Jian wished to meet her in secrecy.

"I shall take a stroll around the area," Han Xifeng declared, using this as an excuse to excuse herself from her comrades.

It didn't take her long to reach the designated rendezvous, where Wang Jian was waiting for her. As she arrived, a sinister grin spread across his face, causing Han Xifeng's stomach to churn with unease.

An air of nervousness surrounded Han Xifeng as she cautiously inquired, "May I know why you summoned me today?"

Wang Jian's sinister smile remained plastered on his face as he ignored her question, his eyes fixed on her.

"You never expected to see me so soon, did you? Not after our last encounter," he remarked slyly.

"I have no idea what you mea-…"

Wang Jian rolled his eyes in disdain.

"Save your act. After I met Lin Feng that night, I understood your scheme. Before that meeting, I am pretty sure you used a special herb or another artefact to lure that Lord Realm beast near the meeting."

Han Xifeng's face paled as she realized that Wang Jian had figured out her plan.

"I don't know what you're talking about," she protested weakly.

Wang Jian ignored her protests and continued with his explanation.

"While we were talking, your subordinates stuck multiple herbs within the outpost that generated a fragrance only beasts could smell. And using this method, you sent it a signal. As the leader of a region moved, the beasts from its surrounding gathered and thus that beast rush was formed."

Han Xifeng's mind was racing as she tried to come up with a response, but Wang Jian wasn't finished yet.

"I can only guess your motives. It was most likely to bury me to prevent your secret from being revealed. After all, Lin Feng would probably commit suicide once he finds out that it was his dear wife that helped me sleep with another one of his women," he finished speaking with that sinister grin on his face.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Han Xifeng was extremely startled to hear Wang Jian's statement that he slept with one of Lin Feng's women. She couldn't believe that Wang Jian would sleep with Fen Shuying.

"W-what do you mean? How could she agree to sleep with you?" Han Xifeng asked as her eyes widened in shock.

Wang Jian's expression turned mocking, "Of course, it was only possible through your help, my dear."

Han Xifeng's eyes slowly widened in horror as she realized the true purpose of that meeting. It was to break the trust Fen Shuying held in Lin Feng!

"I didn't want this to happen," she repeated, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Indeed, that shouldn't be your foremost concern. You ought to be more focused on how you intend to quell my fury after making an attempt on my life," Wang Jian spoke.

Han Xifeng was taken aback by Wang Jian's statement. She stuttered in shock and disbelief, "W-what?"

In a nonchalant manner, Wang Jian responded, "You should be well aware of my strength by now. No one in your tribe is capable of stopping me from wreaking havoc and decimating your people."

Han Xifeng's eyes widened in terror as she realized the gravity of the situation. She fell to her knees and begged Wang Jian to spare her tribe from his wrath.

"N-no. Anything but that…Please…I beg you…" she pleaded, her voice shaking with fear.

Wang Jian's twisted smile widened as he found her pitiful state amusing.

"Hmm. I also don't want to punish your tribe members for your mistake," he said in a mocking tone.

Han Xifeng looked up at him with a glimmer of hope, but it was short-lived as Wang Jian's wicked grin returned.

"Very well, I will leave them alone if you accept your punishment," he said, his voice laced with malice.

Han Xifeng's heart sank as she had a bad feeling about what was coming next. She asked nervously, "What is it? What kind of punishment?"

Wang Jian grinned wickedly in response, "Don't act so naive. You should know exactly what I'm implying."

Han Xifeng was stunned and murmured, "No way. I refuse to do something so despicable."

Wang Jian's tone was cold as he retorted, "You have no choice. Your fate was sealed the moment you plotted against me."

In one swift movement, he approached Han Xifeng and slashed through all her clothes.

The suddenness of his action left Han Xifeng too shocked to respond in time. She stood there, exposed and vulnerable, her face flushed with embarrassment and fear.

Wang Jian whistled in appreciation as his eyes roamed over Han Xifeng's stunning body.

"You can't do this!" Han Xifeng protested weakly, her voice trembling as she tried to cover her nakedness.

With her left arm wrapped tightly around her busty chest, she used her other hand to shield her fanny from Wang Jian's lecherous gaze.

Wang Jian paid no attention to Han Xifeng's protests, for he had discovered that Lin Feng's fortune had taken a considerable dip after he had slept with Fen Shuying.

As a result, World's Essence wouldn't punish him even if he were to act against Lin Feng or any of his women.

From the moment he had uncovered Han Xifeng's deceitful intentions, he had decided to teach her a lesson.

He yearned to make her rue her actions in such a way that her consciousness would be forced to concede that it was her wrongdoing and that she deserved this penalty.

Wang Jian's hands moved with purpose, reaching out to forcefully pull away the arm that Han Xifeng was using to cover her ample bosom. With a strong grip, he began to fondle her breasts aggressively, ignoring her desperate attempts to free herself.

"Stop it! Let go of me!" Han Xifeng cried out, her voice laced with fear.

But Wang Jian remained unyielding, his greedy eyes fixed on her exposed form. He pinched her nipples roughly, causing Han Xifeng to let out a lewd moan that only seemed to spur him on.

The sound of her moaning seemed to excite him even more, and he continued to fondle and squeeze her breasts, his grip growing stronger and more forceful with each passing moment.

Han Xifeng could feel her body responding against her will, betraying her with its reactions to his touch.

Wang Jian's other hand slowly made its way towards Han Xifeng's shapely buttocks as he gave them a strong, resounding smack. The impact was so forceful that her flesh rippled and jiggled wonderfully.

Han Xifeng let out a gasp of pain and surprise, but before she could recover, she felt her legs give out from under her. She fell onto the soft grassy plains of the forest, her naked body writhing and trembling with fear.

Wang Jian stared down at her with an evil grin on his face, the predatory gleam in his eyes unmistakable. He quickly unfastened his pants and revealed his massive member to her.

"Now, now, don't be shy," he said in a mocking tone. "You were so eager to find out why Lin Feng's women would fall for me. Well, this is the reason."

Han Xifeng felt a wave of revulsion and terror wash over her. "No... please, don't do this," she begged, tears streaming down her face.

But Wang Jian ignored her pleas, grabbing her by the hair and forcing her head down towards his crotch.

Han Xifeng struggled and thrashed about, but it was no use. She was helpless against his brute strength.

But Wang Jian was not satisfied with just a blowjob. He wanted to break her, to make her submit to him in every way possible. So, he took her body with a ferocity that left Han Xifeng gasping for breath.

He started with a titty-fuck, his hard member sandwiched between her ample breasts. Han Xifeng whimpered as he squeezed and groped her, his rough hands leaving bruises and marks on her delicate skin. She tried to push him away, but he was too strong.

Then, he took her in many different positions, each more humiliating than the last. Han Xifeng's face turned bright red as he forced her to bend over, exposing her ass to him. He spanked her hard, leaving welts on her skin, and then took her from behind, thrusting into her with a force that made her cry out in pain.

He flipped her over onto her back and spread her legs wide, penetrating her deeply as she moaned and writhed beneath him. He wanted her to know that he owned her, that she was nothing but a plaything to him.

Hours passed, and Han Xifeng lost track of time as Wang Jian continued to use her body in every way possible. She was sore and exhausted, but he showed no signs of stopping.

Han Xifeng lay on the ground, her breathing ragged and uneven, her body drenched in sweat and bodily fluids. Her eyes had lost all their luster, and her face was twisted in pain and agony. Wang Jian had thoroughly broken her, both physically and emotionally.

He had been relentless in his assault, taking her body in every possible way, making her experience pleasure and pain in equal measure.

As Wang Jian continued to ravage her, Han Xifeng could feel herself slipping away, losing her grip on reality. She was trapped in a nightmare from which she couldn't wake up.

And Wang Jian was enjoying every moment of it. His depraved grin never left his face as he thrust into her relentlessly, determined to leave his mark on her body and soul.

"…Your entire body is stained with my thing," he said, his voice thick with satisfaction.

Han Xifeng could feel his hot breath on her neck, his hands gripping her hips tightly as he moved in and out of her.

Wang Jian finally pulled out of Han Xifeng and stood up, zipping his pants back up. He looked down at her with disgust and contempt.

He sneered, "I hope you've learned your lesson."

Han Xifeng lay there on the ground, naked and covered in sweat and semen. She felt utterly humiliated and violated, but she knew there was nothing she could do.

Wang Jian had taken everything from her.

Wang Jian carried Han Xifeng's limp body as he flew towards a nearby lake, the wind whipping through his hair. When they arrived, he tossed her into the cool water and watched as she flailed about helplessly.

After a few moments, he dived in and pulled her back to the surface.

Han Xifeng lay there, coughing and gasping for air. Wang Jian watched her with a cold expression before finally tossing a dress at her.

"Get up and wear these clothes," he ordered her callously.

"I... I don't have any strength left," Han Xifeng responded weakly.

"I don't care," Wang Jian replied coldly. "You're lucky I even bothered to clean you up. Now get dressed, and let's go."

Han Xifeng managed to stand up, though her legs felt like jelly. She trembled with exhaustion and shame, feeling violated and humiliated.

As she stumbled to put on the dress that Wang Jian had thrown at her, she realized it was ill-fitting and uncomfortable. The fabric felt rough against her skin, and the dress was too tight around her bust, leaving little to the imagination.

Han Xifeng's face flushed with embarrassment as she struggled to adjust the dress, trying to cover herself up as much as possible.

Wang Jian watched with amusement as she fidgeted and adjusted the dress. He couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at her discomfort. But after a while, he handed her an oversized cloak that concealed her body entirely.

"You look much better now," he said with a smirk.

Han Xifeng gritted her teeth in indignation due to this humiliation when Wang Jian dropped a bombshell.

"It's time to visit your tribe," he said.

Han Xifeng was startled and asked instinctively, "W-What? Why are we visiting my tribe? Haven't you punished me enough?!"

"Who said I am going to punish them? I am merely visiting my slave's tribe," Wang Jian replied, his voice laced with arrogance and malice.

Very soon, the two were on their way towards the lair.

As they walked, Han Xifeng couldn't help but feel a sense of dread building up inside her. She knew that her tribe would not look kindly upon her after what she had done, and the thought of facing them filled her with fear.

As they approached the entrance to the lair, Han Xifeng's heart sank at the sight of her tribe members.

Their expressions changed as they saw their clan heiress along with Wang Jian. They were terrified and puzzled.

"What are you doing with him, young miss?!" shouted out the members of the Miracle Angel Tribe.

Wang Jian's eyes glinted with amusement as he placed his arm around Han Xifeng's waist. He spoke with a sinister smile, "Your heiress has agreed to be my maid, so I have come to claim this tribe as its rightful owner."

The Miracle Angel Tribe members were terrified and angry, but they dared not show their anger to Wang Jian.

They knew once Wang Jian was angered, there would be no saving them.

There was no warrior in the Miracle Angel Tribe that could take on Wang Jian and his forces and preserve the Miracle Angel Tribe.

With Wang Jian leading the way, they entered the lair. The tribe members followed, casting fearful glances at Han Xifeng, who hung her head in shame.

Wang Jian's eyes scanned the lair, and he barked out an order, "Take me to Lin Feng. Now."

The tribe members scrambled to obey, their fear palpable. They silently led Wang Jian and Han Xifeng to the infirmary hall, where Lin Feng was lying on the bed, gravely injured from his battle with Wang Jian.

Lin Feng's eyes widened with shock and fury as he saw Wang Jian entering the infirmary hall. "You! How dare you show your face here?!" he shouted, his body trembling with rage.

"Allow me to share some news that might interest you. Your women have all been claimed by me," Wang Jian spoke with a twisted grin.

"Impossibl-," Lin Feng started to protest but abruptly stopped as his eyes landed on Han Xifeng's bitter expression.

Lin Feng struggled to stand up, his body still weak from the injuries. The sight of Wang Jian filled him with a fit of burning anger that he could barely contain. He tried to speak, but his voice was hoarse with rage.

Wang Jian smirked at him, relishing in the despair and fury he saw in Lin Feng's eyes. "It was certainly fun breaking their virgin bodies," he said, enjoying the effect his words had on Lin Feng.

Lin Feng gritted his teeth; his fists clenched so tight that his knuckles turned white. "I will kill you even if it's the last thing I do!" he growled.

"Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword – Twin Lightning Dragon Slas-!"

But his rage was short-lived, as Wang Jian moved with lightning speed and delivered a devastating blow to Lin Feng's chest with his Origin Fist. The impact was so powerful that it sent Lin Feng flying across the room, crashing into a wall.

As he lay there, gasping for air, Wang Jian stood over him, a wicked gleam in his eye. "You are no match for me, Lin Feng," he sneered.

Lin Feng glared at Wang Jian with intense hatred, his hand clutching the command seal of the Jin Clan tightly. He thought he could intimidate the tyrant with his clan's power.

But Wang Jian's response was far from intimidating.

Instead, a sardonic smirk played on his lips as he sneered, "You truly are amusing, fool. The Jin Clan is indeed a powerful entity, but even they wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke me for a worthless, insignificant idiot like you."

Lin Feng's face contorted with rage at the insult.

He moved his arm, holding the Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword in an attempt to slash Wang Jian.

He activated his Mystic Force, causing his Qi to flare up, and unleashed his Moonrise Fist upon Lin Feng.

The combination of standard Qi and Devil Qi made the punch extremely powerful. Lin Feng felt as though he was freezing from the inside out.

With a cold, condescending look in his eyes, Wang Jian spat out the word, "Die!"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Lin Feng was sent crashing to the ground, writhing in pain from the blow.

It didn't take long before his life came to an end.

Wang Jian stood over him with a triumphant smirk on his face, pleased with the outcome of the battle.

As he reached down to pick up the Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword, he felt a sudden jolt of electricity coursing through his body, causing him to recoil in surprise.

The sword glowed with ethereal light as if imbued with a sacred power that repelled Wang Jian's touch.

In a sudden burst of energy, the sword transformed into a streak of golden lightning, darting out of the lair at breakneck speed.

Wang Jian could only watch in shock as the sword vanished from sight.

'Was that the interference by the World's Essence? Intriguing...' Wang Jian ruminated with an amused smile.

While he was disappointed to have lost such a legendary weapon, he did not allow it to overshadow his next move. His attention swiftly turned to the Miracle Angel Tribe, and he began contemplating how he should use them.

~~

As Wang Jian pondered on how to handle the Miracle Angel Tribe, a thought occurred to him. The members of the tribe were renowned for their unparalleled healing abilities. He could use them to his advantage and have them serve as his faction's exclusive healers.

With this idea in mind, he decided to spare the tribe and make them swear allegiance to him. He knew that they would be hesitant to do so, given their disdain towards him, but he knew how to convince them.

Undeterred, Wang Jian began his speech, carefully choosing his words to sway the tribe. "I understand your feelings of contempt and perhaps even hatred towards me, and I don't blame you for it," he said in a calm voice, masking the malice underneath.

The members of the Miracle Angel Tribe listened with rapt attention, curious about what Wang Jian wanted from them.

Sensing their curiosity, Wang Jian continued, "As some of you may know, I have a close relationship with your heiress, Han Xifeng. She can confirm that my intentions towards your tribe are pure."

Han Xifeng's heart sank at the mention of her name. She knew that Wang Jian was lying to the tribe to gain their trust. The truth was that he had forced himself upon her while holding her tribe hostage.

"Is he telling the truth? Are you really in an intimate relationship with him?" one of the members of the tribe asked.

Han Xifeng hesitated for a moment, but she knew that she couldn't tell the truth. If she did, the tribe would be in danger. She took a deep breath and nodded her head slowly.

"Yes, it's true," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

The tribe was shocked and disappointed by her confession. They couldn't believe that their heiress would betray the Holy Son and their tribe for someone like Wang Jian.

"What about the Holy Son? Why would you betray him like that?" another member of the tribe asked.

Han Xifeng looked down at the ground, unable to meet their gaze. She felt ashamed of what she had done, but she knew that she had to keep up the act.

"I...I didn't mean to," she said, her voice trembling. "It's just...I couldn't help myself. He's...he's so charming."

Wang Jian's smile widened as he heard Han Xifeng's words. He knew that his plan was working perfectly.

"Is that why you brought him here to kill the Holy Son? I can't believe it!" another member of the tribe said, shaking their head in disbelief.

Han Xifeng couldn't bear to hear their disappointment and anger towards her, but she knew that she had to keep up the charade. She bit her lip and nodded her head in shame.

"I know, I know. I'm sorry. I didn't mean for any of this to happen," she said, trying her best to sound sincere.

Wang Jian walked towards Han Xifeng and put his arm around her shoulder, a smirk on his face.

"It's alright, my love. They'll come around eventually. They just need some time to process everything," he said, his voice oozing with false sympathy.

Han Xifeng felt disgusted at his touch but didn't dare to resist. She knew that she was in too deep now and couldn't back out.

Wang Jian turned to them with that same smile.

"I know that this is a difficult situation for all of you. After all, I did kill someone very important to your clan. But try to understand it from my viewpoint. He was an enemy who wanted to vanquish me for quite a long time. I couldn't just wait for him to get strong enough to cut my head off. This game of cat and mouse had to end somewhere."

He added, "However, I want you to assure that you have nothing to fear. As the leader of the strongest faction in the region, I can offer you protection, wealth, and even some important positions in my council. You have a lot to gain by joining me."

The tribe members looked at each other sceptically, unsure of whether they could trust Wang Jian's words. But he continued to speak, his voice smooth and reassuring.

"I understand that you may not trust me, and I don't blame you for that," he said. "But I want you to know that I am a man of my word. If you swear your allegiance to me, I will ensure that you are treated with the respect and dignity that you deserve."

He paused, allowing his words to sink in before continuing. "Think about it. With me by your side, you will have access to resources and opportunities that you never even knew existed. You will be able to help more people and save more lives while spreading the good name of your tribe. Isn't that what you want?"

The tribe members couldn't help but feel impressed and somewhat tempted by his offer.

Slowly but surely, Wang Jian continued to integrate the benefits of joining his faction into the conversation, never pressuring or overwhelming them but instead presenting them with options and opportunities.

Eventually, some members of the Miracle Angel Tribe began to see the value in his offer.

Han Xifeng forced herself to listen to Wang Jian's smooth and convincing words. She knew better than anyone else how manipulative and wicked he truly was, but she couldn't risk speaking out against him.

"Can we take some time to discuss it among ourselves?" An elderly member of the Miracle Angel Tribe asked.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

As the elderly member of the Miracle Angel Tribe requested time to discuss the proposal with her companions, Wang Jian nodded with a gentle smile.

"Of course, take all the time you need. I understand this is a big decision for your tribe," he said, his words dripping with honeyed tones.

The seven women of the tribe moved to a secluded location in the lair, away from the prying eyes of Wang Jian and his men. They sat in a circle, deep in discussion.

"I think it's a good deal," one of the members spoke up, "We will have protection and resources. We can also boost our tribe's prestige without the fear of getting hunted."

Another member nodded in agreement, "And we will have access to advanced medical knowledge and equipment. We can further develop our skills and save more lives."

However, not everyone was in favor of the deal. "But at what cost?" one member argued, "We will have to swear allegiance to Wang Jian. We will be tied to his faction, and who knows what he might ask of us in the future."

Another member spoke up, "And what about the Holy Son? We cannot just forget about him and how he was so cruelly killed."

Han Xifeng remained with Wang Jian, as he didn't allow her to join the discussion. She knew deep down that this was not the right choice, but she also knew that her tribe was desperate for safety and resources. She hoped that they would make the right decision, but she feared for the consequences.

"What do you think will be their decision?" Wang Jian asked Han Xifeng with a low voice.

"…They will never accept a deal with a wicked man like you," Han Xifeng whispered back as she glared at him.

"Hehe…I think differently. I believe they will accept it," Wang Jian responded with a smirk.

The discussion went on for a while longer, but eventually, the tribe members came to a decision. Five of them were in favor of the deal, while two were against it. They knew the risks, but they also knew the benefits.

As they returned to Wang Jian, he greeted them with that same fake smile. "Have you reached a decision?" he asked.

The elderly member stepped forward, "Yes, we have decided to accept on one condition. You will never ask us to heal our hated enemies."

Wang Jian's smile widened as he nodded, "I agree to your condition. Welcome to my faction. I promise you won't regret this decision."

He then gave a sardonic smile to Han Xifeng before turning away as if mocking her for guessing wrongly.

Wang Jian extended his arm, gesturing for them to follow him as he spoke in a warm tone, "Allow me to escort you to your new abode. It's time for you to leave this humble lair and settle in a place befitting your status."

The Miracle Angel Tribe members followed him with mixed emotions. While some still harbored resentment towards Wang Jian for his heinous act of killing Lin Feng, others had chosen to overlook it and focus on the promising future he had offered them.

The older generation, who were deeply rooted in tradition and loyalty to the Holy Son, found it hard to forgive Wang Jian's wicked act. However, the younger generation had a different perspective. They were more inclined towards the idea of living in a luxurious house in the city, which seemed like a dream come true to them.

Wang Jian walked alongside Han Xifeng with his arm around her waist. To the Miracle Angel Tribe members, they seemed to be in a harmonious relationship. But only the two knew the truth.

While he was walking, Wang Jian decided to check out the system notifications.

However, the system had fortunately provided him with an explanation.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Wang Jian was a man of great wealth and influence, with numerous estates scattered throughout the Zhenguan Region.

In addition to the lavish estate he had bestowed upon Fen Shuying and Lady Xia, he owned another property situated in close proximity to his own opulent mansion.

This estate was positioned on the opposite side of his primary residence from the estate gifted to Fen Shuying, ensuring that it was a separate and distinct entity.

The Miracle Angel Tribe members were overjoyed with the opulent estate and expressed their gratitude to Wang Jian with utmost sincerity.

Wang Jian acknowledged their appreciation with a gracious smile and bid them farewell.

Han Xifeng yearned to stay with her tribe members and revel in the luxurious surroundings.

However, a single stern glance from Wang Jian was enough to force her to acquiesce and start moving towards him.

Wang Jian knew perfectly that if Han Xifeng stayed with her tribe members, she would either inform them of the truth or give them a hint of his wickedness.

He had to prevent that at all costs.

Han Xifeng stepped into the grand entrance of Wang Jian's mansion, her heart pounding with fear.

As they walked down the hallway, they encountered a beautiful woman approaching them with a maid trailing behind her.

Wang Jian turned to Han Xifeng, "This is Su Xian, my concubine," he said as he introduced the woman to her.

Han Xifeng remained silent as she gazed at Su Xian, and then it dawned on her that this was the same name as Lin Feng's childhood sweetheart.

"And who is this?" Su Xian asked, gesturing towards Han Xifeng.

"Han Xifeng, the heiress of the Miracle Angel Tribe. She is my new maid," Wang Jian spoke.

Su Xian's eyes widened with surprise as she looked at Han Xifeng, "So, she is just like Kang Huian?" she asked.

"Correct," Wang Jian spoke, his fingers lightly stroking Su Xian's cheek. A light blush appeared on her cheeks as she purred.

Han Xifeng observed the interaction between Wang Jian and Su Xian with a mix of curiosity and unease.

Despite knowing the history of Lin Feng's relationship with Su Xian, she couldn't help but notice the fondness that Su Xian seemed to have for Wang Jian.

As the two conversed, Han Xifeng couldn't shake the feeling that Wang Jian had treated her and Kang Huian differently than Su Xian.

He had introduced Su Xian as his concubine, a title denoting a certain level of respect and status. Meanwhile, Han Xifeng and Kang Huian were referred to as mere maids.

This realization made Han Xifeng wonder if Wang Jian had forced himself on Kang Huian as well. The thought filled her with disgust and anger.

Han Xifeng felt a flicker of relief at the thought of having someone in the mansion who could empathize with her.

Kang Huian, who had been living in the mansion for a while, had already given up any thoughts of rebellion against Wang Jian. She had submitted to his will completely, and her mind had broken under the weight of his dominance.

Wang Jian stared at the maid and instructed her, "Show her the room on the first floor."

"Yes, Your Highness," The maid responded.

After the maid confirmed her departure with Han Xifeng, Wang Jian and Su Xian were left alone. Su Xian wrapped her arms around Wang Jian, hugging him tightly. He smiled, enjoying the embrace.

"How goes your training with your spirit?" Wang Jian asked, looking at her with affection.

"It's going well, Jian. Though it's still somewhat challenging to use my attacks through it, I feel like I'm getting the hang of it," Su Xian responded, beaming with joy.

Wang Jian nodded approvingly. "That's good. You'll get there soon."

As they separated, Wang Jian's expression turned serious. "My scouts will return today with the first batch of your students. Since it will be your first session, I will oversee it."

Su Xian's eyes widened with excitement. "Thank you, Your Highness. I won't disappoint you."

Wang Jian smiled at her determination, "I know you won't."

The two soon walked to a lavish dining room that overlooked a beautiful garden. The table was already set with various delicacies and Wang Jian's favorite dishes.

As they sat down, Su Xian served Wang Jian his food, feeding him with her own hands. Her eyes sparkled with love and adoration for him as she watched him eat.

Wang Jian, on the other hand, was somewhat hungry and ate eagerly, relishing every bite of the delicious food.

Without a second thought, she leaned in and gently wiped it away as she licked his cheek.

The romantic lunch continued with the two sharing intimate moments, talking, and laughing between mouthfuls of food.

Su Xian continued to feed Wang Jian, making sure he had everything he needed. And when he was done, she wiped his face with a napkin.

The room was filled with an atmosphere of love and warmth as the two enjoyed each other's company. They lost track of time as they savored the delicious food and each other's presence.

As their romantic lunch drew to a close, a maid entered the room and addressed Wang Jian, "Your Highness, the scouts have returned and are waiting for you in the hall."

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Wang Jian and Su Xian rose from their seats and made their way to the hall.

Upon entering the hall, Wang Jian was greeted by a group of scouts who had already arrived with the women interested in cultivating under him. True to his instructions, the scouts had selected only the most beautiful women to participate in the scheme, and as a result, only nine of them had arrived to receive training from him.

Each of them was a beautiful woman in their own right, but they couldn't be compared to Heroines like Fen Shuying, Su Xian, Han Xifeng, and Kang Huian.

As Wang Jian scrutinized the women standing in front of him, taking note of their physical traits and demeanor, he understood that each of them had their own personal motives for wanting to learn cultivation, and he suspected that some of them might have hidden agendas.

But Wang Jian didn't concern himself with their motivations. The only thing that mattered was their willingness to submit to him.

He knew that true loyalty couldn't be judged in an instant; it would take time and effort to earn their trust. But for now, all he could do was provide them with the best training with earnest dedication, hoping to win their respect and devotion over time.

Wang Jian looked at the group of women standing before him, each one with her own unique features and motivations. He cleared his throat and began to speak.

"Ladies, I thank you for coming today. I know that each of you has your own reasons for seeking to cultivate your martial skills, and I commend you for your determination.

"Today, I want to introduce you to your instructor, Su Xian. She will teach you the basics of cultivation and martial arts. Once you have mastered the basics, I will step in and provide you with more thorough training."

"Su Xian is an accomplished martial artist and cultivator. She has undergone rigorous training herself and has successfully cultivated her spirit. She has the skills and knowledge to teach you all that you need to know to become successful cultivators."

"I must warn you, however, that this will not be an easy journey. Cultivation requires hard "work and dedication. It is not something that can be learned overnight."

"But if you are willing to put in the effort and follow Su Xian's guidance, I am confident that you will be able to achieve your goals."

"Su Xian will be your guide on this journey."

"Remember, cultivation is a journey, not a destination. It is a process of continuous improvement and self-discovery. I wish you all the best of luck on your journey, and I look forward to seeing the progress you will make under Su Xian's guidance."

Li Mei: She approaches Su Xian with a nervous smile and bows respectfully. "Greetings, Instructor Su Xian. I am Li Mei, and I am honored to be under your tutelage."

Zhang Ying: She walks up to Su Xian confidently, her gaze meeting hers. "I am Zhang Ying, and I am looking forward to learning from you, Instructor Su Xian."

Liu Xue: She approaches Su Xian with a warm smile and clasps her hands together in greeting. "I am Liu Xue. Thank you for taking us under your wing, Instructor Su Xian."

Wang Xia: She greets Su Xian with a slight bow and a timid smile. "My name is Wang Xia. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from someone as skilled as you, Instructor Su Xian."

Chen Yu: She steps forward and greets Su Xian with a confident smile. "My name is Chen Yu. I look forward to learning from the best, Instructor Su Xian."

Zhou Wei: She greets Su Xian with a warm smile and a small curtsy. "I am Zhou Wei. Thank you for accepting us as your students, Instructor Su Xian."

Yang Wei: She approaches Su Xian with a serious expression and bows respectfully. "My name is Yang Wei. I hope to learn as much as I can from you, Instructor Su Xian."

Wu Ying: She greets Su Xian with a friendly smile and a small wave. "My name is Wu Ying. I am excited to learn from you, Instructor Su Xian."

Sun Hua: She approaches Su Xian with a shy smile and bows respectfully. "I am Sun Hua. Thank you for teaching us, Instructor Su Xian."

They soon proceeded towards the training ground, where Su Xian began to lecture them regarding cultivation.

These women had many questions, but Su Xian answered them all with ease along with a suitable example.

Her words managed to convince these women and even earn their respect.

After the session was over, the women left the mansion and returned to their respective houses.

Wang Jian then asked his scouts about the backgrounds of these women.

Apparently, Li Mei, Zhou Wei, Yang Wei, Wu Ying, and Sun Hua were single mothers who had taken a divorce and were trying to raise their single child. Meanwhile, Liu Xue and Wang Xia just wanted to get stronger as they wanted to improve their techniques.

And lastly, Chen Yu and Zhang Ying wished to live happily with their families and protect them from harm. Among them, Chen Yu was married, while Zhang Ying was unmarried.

Wang Jian swept his gaze over their information and informed the scouts to offer Li Mei, Zhou Wei, Yang Wei, Wu Ying, Wang Xia, Liu Xue, and Sun Hua a place in the mansion. This way, they could protect their child.

As for Chen Yu and Zhang Ying, he decided to take a decision about them later. After giving these orders, Wang Jian left the hall along with Su Xian.

Su Xian asked, "So, how did I do?"

"It went well. I can be relieved leaving them in your hands," Wang Jian responded candidly.

"Thank you," Su Xian jumped up in excitement.

"Just focus on teaching them cultivation techniques. If you encounter any issues, inform me," Wang Jian spoke.

"I will. Just leave it to me," Su Xian assured while patting her chest.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

During the next two days, Su Xian dedicated herself to training the new students in cultivation while Wang Jian was busy executing his plan of recruiting spies from the Night Dagger Clan and the Miracle Angel Tribes.

These spies were tasked with keeping Wang Jian informed of any confidential decisions made by their respective factions, unbeknownst to their leaders.

During the last two nights, Wang Jian indulged in sexual activities with both Han Xifeng and Kang Huian, subjecting them to his torment.

However, he was disappointed to find that there were no notifications from the system. He soon realized that it was because neither Han Xifeng nor Kang Huian possessed the Heroine title, as he had killed Lin Feng.

'This place doesn't seem to have any more protagonists. I should leave this place now. However, I have been banished to this region. If I try to leave without the Emperor's permission, I will be punished even more severely.'

"I should contact my mother," Wang Jian murmured.

Well, this was his only choice if Wang Jian wanted to get out of Zhenguan Region.

Actually, the Zhenguan Region was also considered a forbidden land and criminals or other individuals were sent to this place for exile.

Wang Jian was also exiled to this region. But due to his royal status, he became the lord of this region and ruled it with complete authority.

'…I need to add enough details that would allow my mother to convince the Emperor,' Wang Jian thought.

Wang Jian was exiled to the Zhenguan Region after he killed an envoy from a rival country who had come to cause trouble.

Wang Jian's mother, Bai Liqin, was targeted in an assassination attempt, and when Wang Jian learned that the envoy was responsible, he ordered his soldiers to execute him.

Unfortunately, there was no concrete evidence tying the envoy to the assassination attempt.

To appease both the court and international allies, the Emperor banished Wang Jian to the Zhenguan Region, which was known to be incredibly dangerous.

The region was home to the three great tribes and various dangerous beasts, but the most perilous being was a powerful demonic entity that was sealed deep within the inner forest. No one had ventured into that area and returned alive.

A powerful barrier array surrounded the Zhenguan Region, and a strict security system prevented anyone from leaving.

The reason for this was the Emperor-Ranked Killing Array set up throughout the entire region, which would activate and cause significant harm once the seal was broken and enough blood had been shed.

The activation required the blood of hundreds of thousands of lives. This condition was fairly simple to satisfy as the Demonic Entity would do that for them.

As a result, the people in the Zhenguan Region were considered unfortunate and living on borrowed time, with their lives at risk once the demonic being broke free from its seal.

The Emperor's punishment for Wang Jian was considered satisfactory by their international allies, as banishment to the Zhenguan Region was widely known to be a harsh and terrible fate.

The letter soon reached the palace of the Everlasting Mystic Empire's Royal Family.

The palace was a sight to behold. It was a massive structure that exuded grandeur and luxury. The walls were adorned with intricate carvings and paintings that depicted the history and culture of the empire. The floors were made of polished marble that shone in the sunlight that streamed through the windows. The halls were lined with towering pillars, and the ceilings were decorated with exquisite chandeliers that cast a warm glow over the space.

Bai Liqin, Wang Jian's mother, walked towards the Emperor's chambers with a sense of excitement and anticipation. She was a beautiful woman with a regal bearing, and her presence commanded attention. Her long, black hair was tied back in an elegant bun, and her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

She clutched the letter from her son and had faith that the Emperor would revoke his exile after hearing the details in the letter. As she entered the chambers, the Emperor sat on his throne, looking as cold and emotionless as ever.

"Your Majesty," she began, bowing low. "I have received a letter from our son, Wang Jian. He has expressed his regret for his actions and begs for your forgiveness."

The Emperor snorted. "Forgiveness? After what he has done? He has brought shame upon our family and our Empire."

Bai Liqin took a deep breath. "Your Majesty, please listen to me. Our son was provoked. The envoy from the rival country insulted our honor and threatened the safety of our family. Our son acted in self-defence."

The Emperor narrowed his eyes, "Do you think 'we' are unaware of this fact? As 'our' concubine, you should be aware that he was punished because he acted rashly. Our royal family lost significant prestige and incurred multiple losses due to his actions. He must stay there for at least an entire decade before even thinking of returning."

Bai Liqin bowed low, tears welling in her eyes, "I know, Your Majesty. If it was merely this, I would never have foiled your mood by giving you this information. Actually, he sent more details in his letter."

She began to speak proudly, "Our son, Wang Jian, has successfully unified the three powerful tribes of the Zhenguan Region under his banner."

"The three tribes?" the Emperor's eyebrows raised in question, the names of the tribes seeming vaguely familiar.

Realization dawned on him, and he let out a startled sound, "Those former aristocratic families?! You are saying our son managed to unite them under his banner?!"

Bai Liqin's eyes shone with pride, "Yes, Your Majesty. The same tribes that were banished from our empire due to their rebellion. He has brought them under his control."

The Emperor's interest was piqued, and he leaned forward, "Tell 'us' more about this."

Bai Liqin eagerly continued, "He has gained their loyalty through his impressive military tactics and strategic planning. Wang Jian's leadership and charisma have won the hearts of these powerful tribes."

The Emperor's mind was racing, contemplating the implications of his son's achievement. "This is impressive," he said finally, "The unification of these tribes couldn't have been an easy task. Our son has proven himself capable."

Bai Liqin couldn't contain her joy as she rose from her bow, her eyes shining with hope, "Yes, Your Majesty. Surely, with our son's leadership, he can bring glory to our empire and turn the tides in our favor against our enemies."

The Emperor considered her words carefully, his cold heart beginning to warm slightly at the thought of his son's potential. "Perhaps you are right," he said thoughtfully, "'We' shall have to rethink 'our' decision."

Bai Liqin's heart swelled with relief and gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Emperor nodded, his mind made up, "Send word to Wang Jian. 'We' shall revoke his exile and welcome him back to the capital. He shall have an important role to play in the future of our empire."

Bai Liqin's heart overflowed with pride and emotion at the Emperor's words, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I shall send word immediately."

As she made her way out of the grand chamber, Bai Liqin's heart swelled with gratitude and love for her son, who had proven himself a capable leader and strategist. She couldn't wait to see him again and share in his future successes.

Bai Liqin received the letter a day after its dispatch, and it would require an equivalent amount of time for the letter to reach Wang Jian.

In preparation for the momentous meeting, Wang Jian summoned the representatives and heiresses of the three tribes, along with a few other influential figures, to gather in the grand hall of his sprawling mansion. The chamber was so vast that one could easily get lost in its opulence.

As the meeting began, Elder Lianhua of the Miracle Angel Tribe was seated on a regular chair set linearly, while Han Xifeng, also representing the same tribe, was seated on the pedestal near Wang Jian.

For the Night Dagger Clan, Fen Shuying was the sole representative of the clan.

And for the Crimson Mammoth Tribe, Kang Fu held the honour of representing his people, despite the distressed gaze of his daughter.

At the center of it all, towering over the rest, was Wang Jian's throne, with Su Xian and Fen Shuying perched on a lower level. A step below them was Kang Huian and Han Xifeng, while the rest of the attendees were arranged in rows of chairs extending all the way to the entrance of the hall.

Wang Jian rose to his feet, his expression serious as he addressed the gathering, "I have called upon this meeting to share some extraordinary news with you all. The Emperor has finally agreed to revoke my exile and allow me to return to the mainland."

There were gasps of disbelief and surprise from all those in attendance. No one had ever heard of anyone being allowed to leave the Zhenguan Region once they had been exiled. It was an unprecedented event that had never been recorded in any of the tribes' sacred texts.

Wang Jian's eyes flicked over the crowd, gauging their reactions before continuing, "But that is not all. I have a proposal for all of you, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is to accompany me and leave the Zhenguan Region!"

"What's the catch?" Elder Lianhua inquired with a serious tone.

"The catch is that you all sign the blood contract, which will ally us together," Wang Jian declared.

Wang Jian's attendants appeared and presented each representative with a contract. The agreement contained several provisions, specifically:

Firstly, each tribe must prioritize Wang Jian's instructions above everything else upon their return to the mainland.

Secondly, for five years after their return, they couldn't form alliances with other factions.

Thirdly, the heiress of each tribe would become the de facto leader of their respective tribe.

In exchange, Wang Jian promised to provide them with accommodation, shelter, essential resources to become stronger, help them achieve greater prestige, and a personal territory in the Everlasting Mystic Region.

While this offer was a far cry from their past glory, it was still a considerable deal.

The three representatives of the tribes had varied reactions upon hearing the conditions presented by Wang Jian.

Fen Shuying was the first to express her agreement to the terms. Without even reading the contract, she swiftly put her signature on it. Her love and unwavering trust in Wang Jian were the reasons behind her quick decision.

On the other hand, Han Xifeng and Elder Lianhua wore serious expressions on their faces. They exchanged meaningful glances and took some time before finally making up their minds.

However, before they could convey their decision, a loud ripping sound reverberated across the hall. It was Kang Fu who dramatically tore the contract into shreds, indicating his disagreement with Wang Jian's offer.

Wang Jian maintained his composure even after Kang Fu's impolite act. "May I know why you refused my proposal? What would be your terms for a contract that would satisfy you?" he inquired.

"My tribe will never form an alliance with you!" Kang Fu replied derisively.

Wang Jian fixed his gaze on him, his eyes glinting dangerously.

Kang Huian quickly caught sight of the menacing look in Wang Jian's eyes and bowed nervously, imploring him, "Please forgive my father, Your Highness. He speaks without thinking. I can speak to him and—"

"Silence!" Wang Jian interrupted, his voice cold and commanding.

Kang Huian obediently sat back down, her demeanour meek and fearful.

Su Xian, Fen Shuying, and Han Xifeng watched with growing unease as Wang Jian's anger simmered beneath the surface.

"Are you absolutely certain you will not sign the contract, Kang Fu?" Wang Jian asked, his tone laced with warning.

Kang Fu, however, remained stubborn, his face set in a sneer. "You cannot intimidate me, Wang Jian. I will never sign your blood contract. You can try all you want."

Wang Jian's gaze turned even icier as he heard this. He remained silent for a moment, seemingly considering his options.

Wang Jian's eyes blazed with anger as he heard Kang Fu's response. Without a word, he stepped forward and delivered a devastating blow to Kang Fu's chest. The force of the strike sent Kang Fu reeling back, blood gushing from his mouth as he struggled to remain standing.

Kang Huian screamed in terror as she watched her father fall, rushing to his side and cradling his head in her lap. "Father! What have you done?" she cried, tears streaming down her face.

Wang Jian's expression remained cold and emotionless as he turned to the nearest servant. "Take him to the dungeon," he ordered, his voice devoid of any feeling.

All the people in the hall looked on in shock and horror, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.

"Your Highness, what have you done?" Elder Lianhua gasped, her voice trembling.

Wang Jian turned to face them, his eyes were hard and unyielding.

"He was given a choice, and he chose to reject our offer," he said, his voice like ice. "He made his bed, and now he must lie in it."

The three representatives exchanged nervous glances, unsure of what to say or do in the face of Wang Jian's cold and ruthless actions.

"I have no patience for such stubbornness. If you seek changes, make your demands. But do not think you can flaunt your arrogance here without facing the consequences," Wang Jian declared, his tone as cold as ice.

He then turned his gaze towards Kang Huian and continued, "I spared your father's life only because of you. But he is now crippled and unable to lead your tribe. By the law of succession, the mantle falls on you."

"Now the decision is yours. Will you sign the contract?" He asked with a sinister grin on his face.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Kang Huian pondered over the situation, realizing that resisting Wang Jian's authority would only lead to dire consequences. She concluded that it would be prudent to comply with his demands, as his malevolence knew no bounds.

As Kang Huian signed the contract, Wang Jian turned his head towards Elder Lianhua with an air of authority.

Elder Lianhua felt a sense of dread overcoming her as she looked towards Han Xifeng for guidance.

Han Xifeng's lips twisted into a pained expression as she struggled with the decision, but ultimately nodded in agreement.

The weight of the decision was not lost on her, as it meant that Elder Lianhua would have to sign the contract or risk unleashing chaos upon their tribe.

The atmosphere in the room grew thick with tension, as Wang Jian's piercing gaze bore down upon Elder Lianhua.

The elder hesitated for a moment, contemplating the potential consequences of her actions, before finally taking a deep breath and signing the contract.

With a triumphant smile, Wang Jian declared, "Excellent! Now we have an official alliance."

Wang Jian returned to his throne and took his seat before speaking, "Do you have any suggestions? I naturally do not wish for your tribes to suffer. The stronger your tribes are, the more powerful this alliance will be."

These words had a calming effect on everyone in the hall, causing them to unconsciously relax from their previously tense positions. It was evident to all that he was genuinely interested in hearing any concerns or grievances they might have.

During the meeting, Fen Shuying brought up the issues her clan was facing with the quantity and quality of weapons and equipment, prompting a nod from Wang Jian who diligently took note of these concerns in his diary.

The Miracle Angel Tribe was next to present their troubles, and they expressed a desire to acquire herb seeds and requested a special area to grow them. Additionally, they sought Wang Jian's assistance in facilitating trade with business organizations or alchemy organizations.

After the two tribes had shared their concerns, Wang Jian's gaze inevitably fell upon Kang Huian, who, in response to his inquisitive look, averted her eyes and remained silent, weighed down by her own thoughts.

Wang Jian spoke, "I will create a special arena for the Crimson Mammoth Tribe where you can conduct battles and even manage it. This will allow the warriors of your tribe to challenge other fighters in the Everlasting Mystic Empire. For the first two years, I will sponsor the rewards of in this arena."

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Kang Huian couldn't resist bowing deeply and expressing her heartfelt thanks, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your graciousness."

After acknowledging Kang Huian's gratitude, Wang Jian deftly steered the conversation towards other pressing matters that required his attention. The meeting continued for another hour before Wang Jian dismissed everyone except his wives and maids.

Presently, Wang Jian, Su Xian, Fen Shuying, Han Xifeng, and Kang Huian are gathered in the hall, exchanging curious and cautious glances with one another.

It marks the first time the four women have met together in a group, and the atmosphere is one of intrigue and anticipation.

Su Xian broke the silence with a playful remark, "It seems that destiny has brought us together, all belonging to one man. Although, I never thought that man would be Jian instead of Lin Feng."

Fen Shuying chuckled at her words as she added, "It is true that fate has brought us together, but we must remember that we are all here by choice. We chose to be a part of Jian's life, to support him and be with him."

Su Xian nodded upon hearing those words, while Kang Huian and Han Xifeng just stared at the two with serious expressions. They were not in love with Wang Jian, and their situation was drastically different compared to Su Xian and Fen Shuying.

They remained stoic but couldn't help noticing the curious looks Su Xian and Fen Shuying were giving them.

Their silent observations were interrupted when they noticed Wang Jian staring at them with a polite yet threatening smile.

Kang Huian said, "You are right. We have to support him as best as we can. I just think it would have been amazing if my father wasn't so stubborn."

Han Xifeng patted her comrade's shoulder as she spoke, "Don't worry. He will understand your decision one day."

Wang Jian subtly nodded at the two. This was exactly the response he wanted from them.

Su Xian spoke, "Choosing Jian over Lin Feng was the best decision I ever made in my life. You can definitely trust him to help you prosper your tribes. Just don't ever think of betraying him."

Fen Shuying excitedly nodded, "Yep. Every day goes by so cheerfully that I always feel like it's a dream. Ever since Lin Feng murdered my father, I thought that my tribe and I were done for. But Wang Jian supported us so kindly like a noble gentleman."

Han Xifeng couldn't help but roll her eyes in disdain as she thought, 'What a foolish woman. You have no idea that this was the true perpetrator who killed your father and pushed your clan into that desperate situation. Your father's soul must be cursing you for falling in love with the man who killed him!'

Naturally, Han Xifeng could never reveal this secret as she was the one who collaborated with him on this scheme.

However, Han Xifeng also had no idea that the reason for her hatred for the Night Dagger Clan and the Crimson Mammoth Tribe was also Wang Jian, as he was the one who instigated the Night Dagger Clan into betraying the Miracle Angel Tribe and slaughtering them.

Fen Shuying had no idea about such a grave secret and could never blurt it out to Han Xifeng so it was impossible for her to come across this information.

As for Kang Huian, she could never confess how Wang Jian had manipulated her body in a nasty manner while simultaneously using her tribe as leverage, forcing her to surrender to him entirely.

The only person in the hall who had a detailed understanding of the entire scenario was Wang Jian. However, he was completely relaxed as he understood their inner turmoil and thoughts clearly.

As the sun began to set, Wang Jian led his wives to a grand dining table, lavishly adorned with intricate carvings and exquisite tableware, all complemented by the warm, flickering light of dozens of candles. The table was surrounded by ornate chairs, each more splendid than the last, and placed strategically to optimize both comfort and aesthetic appeal.

As Kang Huian and Han Xifeng sat down, they couldn't help but marvel at the grandeur of the dining hall. It was unlike anything they had ever seen before, and it made them feel both awed and slightly intimidated.

A plethora of dishes was arranged with meticulous care and precision. The table was adorned with ornate silverware, and the dishes were placed in stunning porcelain bowls and plates.

The dishes on the table were a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian delicacies. The meat dishes were prepared from rare beasts found in the Mellow Magnolia Woods and Thundering Hemlock Woods. These beasts were known for their succulent meat, which was not only flavorful but also beneficial for the physique.

The vegetarian dishes were equally exquisite, with the fresh aroma of different herbs and spices mingling in the air. The vegetables were sourced from the Miracle Angel Tribe, known for their expertise in cultivating rare and nutritious herbs.

As they began to dine, Lady Xia swept in with a warm smile on her face. She greeted her daughter, Fen Shuying, and inquired about the outcome of the meeting.

Fen Shuying recounted the events of the day, explaining each tribe's grievances and Wang Jian's plans to address them.

Lady Xia nodded in understanding as she saw her daughter excitedly inform her of all details that occurred in the meeting room.

And naturally, Fen Shuying didn't mention anything regarding Kang Fu and the way Wang Jian dealt with him.

All other of Wang Jian's women silently ate their dinner while the mother-daughter duo talked.

Wang Jian relished the succulent Jade Hare meat, savouring each bite and washing it down with the expensive red wine. His eyes fixated on Lady Xia as a twisted smirk crept onto his face. There was a dark, malicious glint that appeared in his eyes as he hungrily stared at her form.

'I have waited long enough,' Wang Jian thought as an evil fire lit within his heart.

The delectable feast came to a close, and everyone at the table had their fill. Wang Jian rose from his seat and gestured to the others, "Allow me to lead you to your chambers. Our maids have been instructed to prepare them to your satisfaction."

One by one, he led each woman to their room respectively. Fen Shuying and Lady Xia kept on talking in whispers on their way.

The first one to reach her chambers was Su Xian. While the final two were Fen Shuying and Lady Xia.

They soon reached Fen Shuying's chambers and stopped. Wang Jian spoke, "It's been prepared for you, Shuying. I even told them to burn jasmine incense. I know you love that fragrance."

"Woah! That's amazing. You really know me the best!" Fen Shuying exclaimed happily as she hugged him.

Wang Jian lightly stroke her hair while giving her a smile, "Alright. Go to your room and sleep. We have a long day ahead of us."

"Mhm~! Have a good night, dear," She spoke as she tip-toed and pecked his cheek.

Knowing that her mother was watching, Fen Shuying was really embarrassed as she rushed to her chambers and closed the doors.

Only Wang Jian and Lady Xia were left in the corridors.

"Please lead me to my chambers," Lady Xia requested politely.

"Of course, right this way," Wang Jian replied, gesturing towards the end of the hallway.

As they approached the final room, Wang Jian opened the door and announced, "This will be your room, Lady Xia. Why don't you have a look inside?"

Lady Xia nodded and stepped into the room, immediately taken aback by the opulence of her surroundings.

The chamber was unlike any of the others in the hallway, adorned with exquisite embellishments and grandeur that outshone its smaller counterparts.

It was evident that this room held a special significance, reflected in its lavish decorations and bespoke architecture.

Lady Xia couldn't help but marvel at the level of detail and effort put into creating such a magnificent space.

Unbeknownst to her, Wang Jian silently entered her chambers and closed the door behind him. The resounding clicks of the lock echoed through the room, causing Lady Xia to turn her head in surprise.

Upon seeing it was only Wang Jian, a wave of relief washed over her features.

"Is there anything else you require, Your Highness?" Lady Xia inquired, lost in admiration of the room's exquisite designs.

Unbeknownst to her, Wang Jian had completely abandoned his restraint and was now eyeing Lady Xia's alluring curves with an unbridled, lascivious gaze.

However, she remained oblivious to his lecherous intentions as she continued to appreciate the opulent décor surrounding her.

Wang Jian cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure. "I just wanted to make sure that you're comfortable and that everything is to your liking," he said smoothly, masking his true intentions.

Lady Xia turned to face him and replied, "Oh, yes, everything is perfect, thank you."

Wang Jian's gaze lingered on her, and he took a step closer, invading her personal space. "You are too kind, my lady," he murmured, his voice dripping with lust.

Lady Xia finally turned to fully face him, a look of confusion crossing her features. "Is there something else, Your Highness?" she asked, unaware of his true intentions.

Wang Jian's eyes flickered with sudden wickedness, his grin spreading across his face like a stain. He reached out and brushed a stray lock of hair behind Lady Xia's ear, his touch causing her to shiver slightly.

"There is something else I desire," he said, his voice low and filled with dark intent. Lady Xia's heart quickened as she watched him, sensing that something was about to happen.

Suddenly, without warning, Wang Jian's right hand darted out and latched onto Lady Xia's buttocks, squeezing them firmly twice.

Lady Xia let out a gasp of shock and fear as she realized the true nature of his intentions.

Wang Jian's smile widened, relishing in the terror that he had caused to spread across her face.

"W-what are you doing, Your Highness?!"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

With a sudden, violent motion, Wang Jian hurled Lady Xia onto the bed, causing her to bounce and roll across the soft covers.

She landed with a thud, her body trembling with a mix of fear and pain. Wang Jian advanced on her with a predatory grin, his eyes gleaming with dark intent as he prepared to indulge his twisted desires.

"Such a pretty little thing," he said, his voice filled with a cruel edge. "I wonder how you'll look when you're screaming."

Lady Xia's eyes widened in terror as she realized the full extent of Wang Jian's intentions. She struggled to free herself, but his grip was too strong.

"Please, Your Highness," she begged, her voice trembling with fear. "I beg of you, don't do this."

Wang Jian only laughed, the sound filled with malice. "Oh, but my dear Lady Xia," he said, leaning in close to her face. "I've already decided that I will have you, whether you want it or not."

With that, he seized her roughly by the shoulders and pushed her backwards onto the bed, his strength overpowering her feeble resistance. Lady Xia struggled and kicked, but it was no use - Wang Jian was too strong, too determined to have his way with her.

She cried out as he tore at her clothes, his hands roaming over her body with a rough, almost brutal force. She could feel the tears streaming down her face as she begged and pleaded with him to stop, but he only laughed in response, his voice filled with cruel amusement.

"You're so beautiful," he whispered, his lips grazing her ear. "And I'm going to enjoy every moment of this."

Lady Xia's body trembled as she struggled beneath Wang Jian's rough touch. Her clothing was torn, revealing her delicate skin and the curves of her body. Her dark hair was tousled, and her eyes were wide with fear as she tried to push him away.

But Wang Jian was stronger than her, his hands explored every inch of her body, from the curves of her hips to the swell of her breasts.

Lady Xia continues to struggle against Wang Jian's rough advances, trying to convince him to stop by reminding him of her relationship to his wife. "Please, Your Highness," she gasped out between sobs. "I am Fen Shuying's mother. She loves you, please don't do this."

But Wang Jian only responded with a cruel laugh. "Oh, don't worry about her," he said, his voice filled with malice. "She'll never have to know what we've done here tonight."

Wang Jian's rough hands explored Lady Xia's curves, squeezing and kneading her breasts with an almost brutal force. As he leaned in, his hot breath tickled her skin before he fiercely bit down on her left nipple while pinching the other one.

Lady Xia's body convulsed with both pain and pleasure as a primal scream erupted from her lips, reverberating through the room.

The sudden burst of sensation rippled through her entire being, stirring something deep within her soul that she had never felt before.

Wang Jian's grin widened as he leaned in closer to Lady Xia, his breath hot against her ear. "You seem awfully delighted for someone who was resisting it so stubbornly earlier," he teased, his voice dripping with smug satisfaction. "I guess you can't lie to yourself."

Lady Xia's heart raced as she struggled to catch her breath. "I-it's n-not like that," she stammered, her voice trembling. "I would never e-enjoy s-such a d-despicable-"

But her words were cut off by a sudden surge of pleasure as Wang Jian shifted his focus to her right nipple, biting down hard and pinching her left nipple with his other hand.

Despite her best efforts to resist, Lady Xia couldn't deny the sensations coursing through her body.

It was both exhilarating and terrifying, the pleasure and pain mixing together in a way that made her feel completely out of control.

As Lady Xia's moment of ecstasy passed, she was once again overcome by guilt and shame. The weight of her betrayal to her daughter was heavy on her heart, and she pleaded with Wang Jian to stop.

"Your Highness, I beg of you, please stop," she gasped, her voice strained with emotion. "I cannot betray my daughter like this. Please, have mercy on me."

Wang Jian, however, was not moved by her words. He only chuckled, his eyes filled with a wicked gleam.

Wang Jian's eyes gleamed with an unholy desire as he gazed down at Lady Xia's trembling form. "Don't try to resist me, my dear," he said in a low voice. "It will only make things more...interesting."

With a cruel smile, he reached out and took hold of her breasts, squeezing them tightly in his hands. Lady Xia winced at the sudden pain but also felt a rush of pleasure shoot through her body.

Wang Jian chuckled darkly as he continued to explore her body, his touch growing more aggressive and demanding with each passing moment.

Lady Xia tried to push him away, to resist him, but it was like trying to fight against a force of nature.

As he worked her body to the brink of ecstasy once again, Lady Xia could feel herself losing control, her mind clouded with a mix of desire and shame.

"Please...stop..." she moaned weakly, her voice barely audible over the sound of her own panting breaths.

But Wang Jian was not finished yet. He wanted to hear her scream, to break her completely. And with a sudden surge of violence, he dug his fingers into her globes of flesh, leaving deep red marks that would take days to fade.

Lady Xia's body writhed with both pain and pleasure, her desire for release palpable in the air. But just as she was about to lose herself completely, Wang Jian suddenly stopped his movements, leaving her gasping.

She looked up at him, a mixture of hope and fear in her eyes as he spoke with a smirk on his face.

"Since you're begging me so politely, I suppose I can stop," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Relief flooded through Lady Xia as she began to regain control of her mind. "Thank you, Your Highness," she said, her voice trembling with emotion.

But her relief was short-lived as Wang Jian raised his hand and spoke again, his tone cold and commanding. "Don't thank me just yet. If you want me to stop completely, you'll have to satisfy me first."

Lady Xia recoiled at the sight of that massive bulge and hesitated for a moment before shaking her head and saying, "No, Your Highness. I cannot do that. I beg of you, please let me go."

Wang Jian's expression darkened as he leaned in close to her, his hot breath tickling her ear. "Don't be foolish, Lady Xia. You're in no position to make demands. If you want me to stop, you'll have to satisfy me. It's a small price to pay, considering what I could do to you if I wanted to."

Lady Xia shuddered at the implied threat, but still, she hesitated. "But I...I can't...I've never..."

"Enough," Wang Jian interrupted, his voice hardening. "You're a woman, aren't you? You know what to do. And believe me, you'll enjoy it. Just think of it as a way to repay me for my mercy."

Lady Xia bit her lip, her mind racing. She knew she had no other choice, but the thought of doing something so intimate with this man repulsed her.

Still, she couldn't deny the fire that had been lit inside her, the intense pleasure that had coursed through her body when he had touched her before. Maybe, just maybe, he was right. Besides, it wasn't as if he had left any choice for her.

As Lady Xia obediently unbuttoned Wang Jian's pants, her eyes fell upon his impressive member that stood at full attention. Its size and girth were enough to make her heart race, and she couldn't help but marvel at the difference between this and her husband's modest endowment.

It was as if Wang Jian's manhood had been designed to satisfy a woman's every desire, and Lady Xia couldn't resist the temptation to run her hands along its length, marvelling at its firmness and power.

Wang Jian ordered, "Use your mouth!"

Wang Jian's order echoed in Lady Xia's mind as she looked up at him hesitantly. She had never done this before, and the thought of putting his member in her mouth made her feel disgusted and humiliated. But at the same time, she knew she had no choice but to comply.

She slowly leaned in and placed her lips on the tip of his member, feeling the heat and hardness of it against her mouth. She closed her eyes and tried to think of something else, anything else, but her thoughts kept drifting back to the act at hand.

Wang Jian watched her with a predatory gleam in his eyes. He guided her head with his hands, moving her mouth up and down his shaft as he groaned in pleasure.

Lady Xia tried to suppress her gag reflex as she took more and more of him into her mouth. She flicked her tongue over the tip of his cock, tasting the salty precum that had gathered there.

The sensation made her feel sick. But as she continued to suck and lick him, she could feel him growing harder and bigger.

Wang Jian moaned with pleasure, his hands tangling in her hair as he urged her to take more of him into her mouth. Lady Xia hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened her mouth wider and took him deeper, her tongue working to pleasure him as best she could.

As she worked her mouth up and down its length, Lady Xia felt a mix of shame, and arousal wash over her.

Wang Jian groaned with pleasure as she worked, his hips thrusting gently in time with her movements. Lady Xia could feel his member growing even harder in her mouth, and she knew it wouldn't be long before he reached his climax.

Finally, with a loud cry of pleasure, Wang Jian reached his peak, spilling his seed into Lady Xia's mouth. She swallowed it down, trying to ignore the bitterness of it as she continued to suck him gently, coaxing every last drop from him.

As he pulled away from her, Wang Jian looked down at her with a satisfied smirk. "You see? That wasn't so bad, was it?" he said, his voice dripping with condescension.

Lady Xia spoke up, her voice trembling slightly, "Your Highness, I have kept my end of the deal. I have satisfied you as you asked, so please, let me go now."

With a wicked smirk, Wang Jian looked down at Lady Xia and replied, "I never said I was satisfied."

Lady Xia's heart sank at his words. She had hoped that by bringing him to climax, he would be satisfied and let her go. But now she knew that was not the case.

"W-what else do you want from me, Your Highness?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Wang Jian gazed down at Lady Xia's ample breasts with a lustful glint in his eyes. "Why don't you put those beauties to use, my dear?" he suggested with a wicked smirk.

Lady Xia hesitated for a moment, feeling a pang of shame and humiliation at the suggestion, "This will be the last time."

She tentatively reached up and wrapped her large breasts around his shaft, sliding them up and down in a slow, sensual rhythm.

Wang Jian let out a low groan of pleasure, relishing in the sensation of her soft flesh against his hardness. "That's it, my dear," he encouraged, his hands resting on her shoulders to guide her movements. "Use those slutty tits to make me cum."

As Lady Xia pleasured Wang Jian with her breasts, she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of guilt. She thought of her daughter and what she would think of her actions. Lady Xia knew that what she was doing was wrong, but she couldn't bring herself to stop.

Despite her internal struggle, Lady Xia continued to move her breasts up and down, rubbing them against Wang Jian's hard shaft. She could feel him getting closer and closer to climax, and she knew what was coming next.

Finally, with a deep groan, he erupted between her breasts, coating them with his seed.

As Wang Jian's seed coated Lady Xia's breasts, she felt a mix of disgust and shame wash over her. She couldn't believe she had let herself be used in such a way, all for the sake of her daughter's safety. But her thoughts were cut short as Wang Jian spoke with a calm yet wicked voice.

"That was still not enough. It seems you need to use your legs," he said, a devilish glint in his eyes.

Lady Xia recoiled at his suggestion. "No, I cannot do that," she protested, her voice barely above a whisper.

But Wang Jian was not deterred. "I won't insert it in your pussy, but between your thighs. I will only rub the head of my dick against your pussy. Don't worry, you can trust me," he said, his tone dripping with depravity.

Lady Xia felt a wave of guilt wash over her once again. She had already gone this far, what was a little more? But deep down, she knew it was wrong. She couldn't bring herself to willingly engage in such lewd acts.

"I cannot," she said firmly, her voice shaky but resolute.

Wang Jian's eyes narrowed, his face contorting with anger. "You dare to refuse me! Are you going back on your word?! If so, I will punish you!"

"…You won't try to insert it inside, will you?" Lady Xia asked, sounding hesitant and unsure.

"Of course, I won't!" Wang Jian responded instantly.

"…Okay," Lady Xia finally responded.

Slowly, hesitantly, she raised her legs and spread them apart, exposing herself to him.

Wang Jian moved closer to her, his member twitching with anticipation. He positioned himself between her legs and began to rub the head of his dick against her pussy, just as he had promised.

Lady Xia felt a rush of pleasure mixed with shame and guilt as he continued to rub himself against her. She could hear his heavy breathing, could feel the heat of his body against hers.

As Wang Jian thrust between Lady Xia's thighs, she couldn't help but let out a few moans of pleasure. Her body was responding to his every move, and her pussy was already dripping with wetness.

Wang Jian noticed her arousal and gave her a wicked grin before placing his hand on her thighs and spreading them even further apart.

Lady Xia's heart raced as she realized what was about to happen. "W-What are you doing, your highness?" she asked nervously.

But before she could finish her question, a sharp pain pierced through her body as Wang Jian's member entered her tight pussy. She let out a scream of both pain and pleasure as the sharp sensation slowly converted into a deep, intense pleasure.

Wang Jian chuckled, enjoying the sensation of her tight walls gripping his shaft. "Don't worry, my dear," he said seductively. "I'll make sure you enjoy every moment."

Lady Xia could feel her body trembling as Wang Jian began to thrust inside her pussy with increasing speed and intensity.

Her moans grew louder and more desperate with each thrust, her body responding to his every move. She knew she shouldn't be enjoying this, but her arousal was too overwhelming to resist.

As the pleasure grew more and more intense, Lady Xia couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt and shame.

She was betraying her daughter and going against everything she had ever stood for. But in that moment, all she could think about was the overwhelming pleasure that Wang Jian was giving her.

"Oh, your highness!" she moaned, unable to contain herself any longer. "This feels so good!"

He leaned in closer to her, his face just inches away from hers. With a cruel glint in his eyes, he whispered, "Say it. Say that you belong to me. That you are my slave. Only then will I allow you to cum."

Lady Xia's mind was in a haze of pleasure and guilt. She couldn't believe what was happening to her, and yet her body was betraying her. She felt the urge to orgasm building within her, and she knew that Wang Jian's demand was the only way she would be allowed release.

"I-I'm yours," she gasped out, her voice barely audible above the sound of their bodies slamming together.

Wang Jian's face twisted into a wicked smile, and he increased his pace, thrusting deeper and harder into Lady Xia. "Louder," he commanded, "say it louder, so everyone in the palace can hear you."

Lady Xia's face flushed with shame and humiliation as she repeated his words, louder this time, "I am your slave."

Wang Jian's grip on her hips tightened as he felt himself reaching his own peak. "That's it," He growled, "Cum for me, my slave."

Lady Xia let out a loud moan as she reached her climax, her body convulsing in pleasure. As she came down from her high, she couldn't help but feel a sense of shame and regret wash over her.

"Y-you lied. Y-you put it inside even though you told me you won't!" She complained.

"I didn't hear you complaining at that time," Wang Jian responded instantly with a smirk.

"Now, let's change the position," He said.

Lady Xia obediently got onto her hands and knees, presenting her backside to Wang Jian.

He stroked his thick member along the crevice of her ass, teasing her before finally slipping it into her wet and waiting pussy.

Lady Xia moaned with pleasure as he began to thrust into her deeply, his hands gripping her hips tightly.

The room was filled with the sound of their flesh slapping together as Wang Jian continued to pound into her relentlessly.

The night seemed to stretch on endlessly as Wang Jian indulged in Lady Xia's body, exploring every curve and crevice.

With each passing moment, he found himself drawn deeper into her irresistible allure, captivated by the way her body moved and responded to his touch.

As the hours ticked by, he lost all sense of time, consumed by an insatiable desire to possess her in every way possible. The mere sight of her sent a rush of heat through his veins, driving him to new heights of pleasure and passion.

Despite the exhaustion that threatened to overtake him, Wang Jian couldn't bring himself to stop. He was entranced by Lady Xia's beauty, her every movement a tantalizing invitation to indulge in her sinful delights.

And so it went on, until the sun began to rise, and the first light of dawn crept over the horizon, illuminating the tangled sheets, and spent bodies of the two lovers.

Wang Jian finally allowed himself to rest, a satisfied smirk playing across his lips as he revelled in the memory of the night's forbidden pleasures.

Meanwhile, a look of defeat and hopelessness had taken over Lady Xia's eyes as she realized that her efforts to resist Wang Jian were futile.

It dawned on her that the man she was dealing with was utterly devoid of morality and compassion, a pure embodiment of monstrous traits.

"You should understand your position in the palace now. It's that of a sex slave. Don't worry, your daughter will enjoy the benefits brought by your efforts," Wang Jian spoke with a sinister smile.

After a night of endless debauchery, both Wang Jian and Lady Xia were finally able to rest, and it wasn't until late afternoon that they both woke up.

Lady Xia's body was aching from the roughness of the night before, and she was barely able to move.

Wang Jian, on the other hand, was his usual self - cold, calculated, and devoid of any emotions.

He took a quick bath and left without saying a word, leaving Lady Xia alone to recover.

As she lay there in pain, Lady Xia couldn't help but reflect on what had happened to her. The shame and guilt she felt were overwhelming.

She knew that she had betrayed her daughter's trust and had given in to her carnal desires.

The memories of Wang Jian's massive member inside her body made her shudder, and she couldn't shake off the feeling of disgust.

Despite her physical pain and emotional turmoil, Lady Xia knew that she had to face the consequences of her actions. The only way she could think of making amends was by ensuring that her daughter would benefit from this.

Meanwhile, Wang Jian was walking down the hallway when he received the system notification.

[The system has been upgraded.]

"What are the improvements?" Wang Jian asked curiously.

[The system has two new functions. And has also upgraded a couple of techniques.]

[The first function is the ability to create and manage the Black Castle.]

[The Host now has the power to erect a Black Castle in any location across the world. The Host can teleport to it at will, except when the Spatial Laws in the region are sealed. The Black Castle is fortified by a potent barrier that can withstand attacks from opponents of equal or lower cultivation levels. Additionally, the Host can cultivate various herbs in the Black Castle, which would experience rapid growth acceleration, resulting in a bountiful harvest.]

[The second function is the ability to acquire and master more elements.]

[The Host has the capability to acquire and proficiently control another elemental power by harnessing the energy from the essence of the respective element. The source of this essence could vary, ranging from potent herbs to elemental essence stones, making it easier for the host to collect them. It should be noted that the potency of the element would heavily depend on the quantity of elemental essence collected and absorbed by the host. The condition of absorbing the element is that the host's body must be strong enough to endure the pure power of that element.]

[Other than these functions, three abilities have also been upgraded.]

[True Eyes (Level 2): The Host can now see favorability and loyalty along with the luck status of any individual.]

[Twin Headed Dark Flame Python (Six Star Spirit) (Mutated) -- Dark Flame Double-Headed River Dragon (Seven Star Spirit) (Mutated)]

As Wang Jian received this notification, he experienced a strange sensation from his dantian. It was the Twin Headed Dark Flame Python!

Its two heads grew larger and more pronounced, and its scales became a deep, shimmering black that seemed to absorb all the light around it.

The snake's body started to bulge, growing thicker and longer until it filled the entire space within his dantian.

Then, with a sudden burst of energy, the serpent began to transform. Its body elongated and twisted until it formed a shape more like that of a dragon.

The creature's scales now gleamed with a fiery red light, and a pair of wings unfurled from its sides, each covered in razor-sharp spines.

The two heads now looked more menacing than ever before, with rows of sharp teeth that seemed to glow with otherworldly power.

This was the Dark Flame Double-Headed River Dragon!

[You have unlocked a new ability known as the Dragon's Prestige. This ability is a manifestation of the awe-inspiring presence of dragons, capable of instilling fear and respect in the hearts of those who witness it. When activated, the user radiates a powerful aura that exudes intense pressure, causing even the bravest of opponents to tremble and falter.]

[Advanced Soaring Dragon Technique (Level 4): The host's ability to absorb Qi from the environment is greatly enhanced, allowing for even faster cultivation. Additionally, the host's senses are heightened to an unprecedented level, with a significant upgrade to their Spiritual Sensitivity.]

[The Host has now unlocked the ability of Enhanced Strength! The host's physical strength is greatly increased, allowing them to lift heavier objects and deliver more powerful strikes.]

Wang Jian's strength received a significant boost, and his combat abilities greatly expanded due to the upgrades he received.

He commanded his servants to gather all the Lightning Elemental Beast Cores that he had accumulated after obliterating the horde of lightning beasts.

Among these Beast Cores was the coveted Thunderbolt Behemoth's.

Wang Jian had slain an impressive thirty-five beasts in the fierce battle, with the majority of them belonging to the Origin Realm.

However, there were a few Spirit Realm beasts, and their leader was a formidable Lord Realm Beast.

After assimilating the essence of all these beast cores, Wang Jian was able to awaken the lightning element within him.

The potency of this lightning element paled in comparison to his primary elements, rendering him only able to generate minuscule sparks.

During this period, Su Xian instructed the group of nine women on the intricacies of cultivation techniques, enabling them to take their first official steps towards cultivation.

Certain individuals demonstrated greater aptitude than others, as they effortlessly channelled and assimilated the Qi in their surroundings.

Wang Jian procured the necessary materials and resources for the spirit awakening ceremony and successfully awakened Fen Shuying's spirit.

To Wang Jian's surprise, her spirit manifested as a Deadly Shadow Dagger, which would aid her in concealing her energy and provide a sharp boost to her qi.

Fen Shuying was overjoyed to have successfully awakened her spirit. Accompanied by Wang Jian, she proceeded to her mother's quarters to share this delightful news.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Lady Xia's body was still wracked with soreness despite spending most of the day recuperating.

She could hardly move, and it was almost nightfall when she heard two knocks on her door.

Despite the pain coursing through her body, she managed to drag herself to the door and open it.

A bitter smile formed on her lips when she saw her daughter and Wang Jian standing before her.

As the three of them stood in the chambers, the air was thick with tension.

Lady Xia tried her best to conceal the pain she was experiencing.

Fen Shuying, on the other hand, was beaming with joy as she proudly informed her mother that Wang Jian had helped her awaken her spirit.

Lady Xia forced a smile and looked at Wang Jian, who was smirking. "Thank you for your help," she said through gritted teeth.

Wang Jian took her hand and rubbed it lightly, sending chills down her spine. "It was my pleasure," he said with an evil grin.

Lady Xia quickly withdrew her hand and changed the subject.

"My dear, tell me more about your spirit," she said, trying to distract herself from the discomfort she was feeling.

Fen Shuying eagerly launched into an explanation of her spirit, completely unaware of the tension in the room.

Meanwhile, Wang Jian's eyes were fixed on Lady Xia, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

After Fen Shuying finished explaining the details of her spirit, she looked at Wang Jian and said, "Let's go."

Wang Jian smiled at her and said, "Sure."

Wang Jian and Fen Shuying make their way towards the door, ready to leave Lady Xia's chambers. However, before they can step out, Lady Xia speaks up.

"Wait," she says, her voice laced with hesitation. "I would like to talk to you, Your Highness. In private."

Fen Shuying looks at her mother, confused, but nods and steps out of the room, closing the door behind her. Wang Jian turns to face Lady Xia, a sly grin on his face.

"What can I do for you, Lady Xia?" he asks, his tone dripping with insinuation.

Lady Xia grits her teeth, trying to maintain her composure. "I want to make something clear," she says, her voice tense. "Whatever happened between us last night must remain a secret."

Wang Jian raises an eyebrow, his grin widening. "Of course, my dear," he says smoothly. "Our little tryst shall remain between us. I am a man of discretion, after all."

Lady Xia narrows her eyes at him. "You should be," she says coldly. "Because if anyone were to find out about what happened, it would not bode well for us."

Wang Jian's grin turns into a sneer. "Don't worry, my Lady," he says, his voice oozing with malice. "Your secret is safe with me. But I must say, I do enjoy our little arrangement. You're quite the fiery one."

Lady Xia bristles at his words but tries to keep her emotions in check. "I am doing this for the sake of my daughter," she says through gritted teeth. "She cannot know about what happened between us. It would destroy her."

Wang Jian chuckles. "Oh, I wouldn't want that," he says mockingly. "But do keep in mind, my Lady, that I have my own desires. And if you do not comply with them, well...let's just say, your secret might not be so safe after all."

Lady Xia pales at his words, realizing the true extent of Wang Jian's power over her. She nods, her eyes downcast. "I understand," she says quietly.

Wang Jian smirks, pleased with himself. "Excellent," he says. "Now, if you'll excuse me." He turns on his heel and strides out of the room, leaving Lady Xia alone with her thoughts.

Wang Jian met Fen Shuying outside the room, who looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What did my mother want to talk to you about?" she asked.

Wang Jian smiled at Fen Shuying, trying to ease her concerns. "Your mother just wanted to talk about something important. She was asking whether my father, the Emperor, would have any issues in accepting you as his daughter-in-law. I assured her that it would be alright."

Fen Shuying smiled gratefully at Wang Jian, feeling grateful for his help. "Thank you for everything you have done for me," she said softly.

Wang Jian's lips curled into a wicked grin. "That's not enough. If you really want to show your appreciation, come with me to your room."

Fen Shuying's cheeks flushed with excitement as she realized what he was suggesting. "I... I would like that," she stammered.

In her room, the two lovers shed their clothes and embraced passionately.

Fen Shuying eagerly took Wang Jian's member into her mouth, eagerly exploring every inch of him with her tongue.

Wang Jian moaned in pleasure, savoring the sensation of her hot, wet mouth on his shaft.

As Fen Shuying continued to pleasure him, Wang Jian ran his fingers through her hair, his breathing becoming heavier. "Mmm, that feels amazing," he groaned, his eyes closing in ecstasy.

Fen Shuying looked up at him with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "You like that, don't you?" she teased, before taking him back into her mouth.

Wang Jian couldn't help but let out a low growl of pleasure as she continued to work her magic. "Gods, you're good," he muttered, his fingers tightening in her hair.

Fen Shuying hummed in satisfaction, feeling a sense of pride at the effect she was having on him. She increased the intensity of her movements, taking him deeper into her mouth.

The room was filled with the sounds of their pleasure, with Wang Jian's moans growing louder and Fen Shuying's own breathing becoming labored.

Eventually, after several minutes of intense pleasure, Wang Jian finally came, his seed spilling into her mouth.

Fen Shuying swallowed every last drop of Wang Jian's seed, savoring the salty taste on her tongue before looking up at him with a satisfied smirk. "Satisfied?" she asked, her tone playful.

Wang Jian's eyes glittered with a wicked gleam as he responded, "Oh, my dear, this is just the beginning."

He took her by the hand and led her to the bed, where he slowly pushed her down onto the soft mattress.

With one hand, he began to rub her pussy, teasing her with light touches that made her squirm with pleasure. He leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "You're so wet for me, my love."

Fen Shuying moaned softly in response, her hips bucking involuntarily as he continued to play with her. She could feel his member growing harder against her thigh, and she knew that it wouldn't be long before he was inside her.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. He positioned himself between her legs and slowly began to push his way inside her, inch by inch.

Fen Shuying let out a gasp and a moan as she felt his massive member stretching her open, filling her up completely.

She wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him in deeper as he began to thrust, each movement sending waves of pleasure coursing through her body. It was as if they were the only two people in the world, lost in the heat of their passion.

As they moved together in perfect harmony, Fen Shuying knew that she would do anything to keep this feeling alive forever.

Wang Jian's grip on her hips was firm as he pulled her onto him again and again, his thick member sliding in and out of her with a slick, wet sound. Fen Shuying arched her back, her fingers digging into the sheets as she moaned in pleasure.

As he continued to thrust into her with increasing urgency, Wang Jian's mouth moved to her neck, nibbling and biting at the sensitive skin there. Fen Shuying gasped and whimpered, the sensations overwhelming her.

"Please," she breathed out, "harder."

Wang Jian obliged, pounding into her with greater force and speed. The sound of their flesh slapping together filled the room, mingling with their moans and gasps. Fen Shuying could feel her orgasm building, the heat and pressure coiling tighter and tighter in her core.

Finally, with a loud cry, she came, her body convulsing as she clamped down on Wang Jian's member. He groaned in response, his own release not far behind. With a final thrust, he spilled himself inside her, the sensation of his hot seed filling her, sending Fen Shuying into another wave of pleasure.

"Ready for round two?" he asked with a wicked glint in his eyes.

Fen Shuying moaned in response, her body already responding to his touch as he began fondling her breasts and trailing his fingers down her stomach.

As he entered her once again, Fen Shuying felt her body ignite with desire. Every thrust sent shockwaves through her body, and Wang Jian knew exactly how to push her buttons. He grabbed her hips and pounded into her with increasing ferocity, making her scream his name with every thrust.

The two continued like this, going at it for another ten rounds, their bodies entwined and drenched in sweat. Wang Jian was relentless, taking her over and over again until she was delirious with pleasure.

At one point, as he smacked her ass hard, Fen Shuying turned around and begged him, "Please don't stop, don't ever stop."

Wang Jian just grinned and responded, "Don't worry, I won't. I have so much more in store for you."

And he kept his promise, fulfilling his sadistic desires by spanking her. Fen Shuying loved every minute of it, unable to resist his insatiable appetite for domination.

Finally, after the twelfth round, they collapsed on the bed in a sweaty heap, both of them completely spent. Wang Jian held her tightly, whispering sweet nothings in her ear as they drifted off to sleep.

In the morning, as they woke up tangled in each other's arms, Fen Shuying couldn't help but feel grateful for the incredible night they had shared.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

That very night, Wang Jian was in receipt of a letter from his mother conveying the Emperor's decision that nullified his exiled standing.

Now that he had received this confirmation, Wang Jian was forced into deep contemplation.

"Activate True Eyes. Display the favorability and loyalty of the following targets. Targets are Su Xian, Fen Shuying, Kang Huian, Han Xifeng, and Lady Xia."

[

Status

Su Xian-

Favorability: 80

Loyalty: 80

Fen Shuying-

Favorability: 70

Loyalty: 75

Kang Huian-

Favorability: 40

Loyalty: 70

Han Xifeng-

Favorability: 0

Loyalty: 39

Xia Hongqi-

Favorability: 0

Loyalty: 50

]

[Alert! Han Xifeng's loyalty rating has dropped below 40, indicating that she may betray the host if presented with the opportunity!]

"Hmm, so a loyalty score below 40 means she is not entirely trustworthy. I must take steps to address this," Wang Jian murmured with a sly grin.

He was taken aback, though, by Kang Huian's 40-point favorability and her high loyalty towards him. Given how he had treated her in the past, the score seemed unreasonably high.

He couldn't help but ponder on this for a moment, realizing it may be due to sparing her father's life during the meeting.

"I should boost my strength now," Wang Jian decided.

He had 489,765 Destiny Points at this moment and required 190,000 Destiny Points to reach the King Realm.

"Use my destiny points to help me break through to the King Realm!" Wang Jian commanded the system.

It didn't take long before Wang Jian's cultivate began to rapidly rise as that mysterious energy combined with his sea of qi.

The Second Stage of the Lord Realm.

The Third Stage of the Lord Realm.

The Fourth Stage of the Lord Realm.

The Fifth Stage of the Lord Realm.

The Sixth Stage of the Lord Realm.

The Seventh Stage of the Lord Realm.

The Eighth Stage of the Lord Realm.

The Ninth Stage of the Lord Realm.

As Wang Jian's cultivation was on the verge of reaching the King Realm, a notification from the system popped up.

[Warning! The Host cannot elevate his cultivation level directly to the First Stage of the King Realm. You must gain a slight insight into a specific law.]

"What the heck! Why didn't you mention this requirement before?" Wang Jian exclaimed in frustration, feeling deceived by the system.

[Note: The Host can gain insight into a law through enlightenment, or the system can provide it for the price of 100,000 Destiny Points.]

Wang Jian couldn't help but think that the system was created or managed by someone with a profit-oriented mindset.

"Well, I don't really have much of a choice right now," Wang Jian muttered under his breath.

"Purchase an insight of a law," Wang Jian commanded the system.

[Which law would the host like to gain insight into? The Flame Law? The Fist Law? The Sword Law? The Devil Law? The Dark Law? The Shadow Law? Or the Lightning Law?]

Out of all these options, Wang Jian was particularly interested in the Flame Law. He believed that it would be the most beneficial addition to his combat abilities, granting him a significant boost in his attacks.

"The Flame Law," Wang Jian decided.

After deducting one hundred thousand destiny points, Wang Jian's mind was injected with extensive knowledge about flames.

The knowledge that he obtained appeared profound, and just a slight insight was enough to overwhelm his mind. He learned about the different levels of flames and their properties, from the low-level flames that burned everything indiscriminately to the high-level flames that could even incinerate the soul.

He also gained an understanding of the intricate relationship between the laws of fire and other elemental laws. The knowledge he obtained about the compatibility of fire with other elements was overwhelming. It appeared that every element had its own unique interaction with the flames.

Additionally, Wang Jian learned about the different flame techniques that he could cultivate, including the basics of manipulating flames, creating flame weapons, and defensive flame techniques. The knowledge he received was not limited to the physical properties of the flames but also included the spiritual and metaphysical properties of flames.

Overall, Wang Jian was amazed at the depth of knowledge he had received about the laws of flames. He realized that even with just a slight insight, he had gained enough knowledge to last him a lifetime of cultivation.

Wang Jian's Sea of Qi was inundated with potent flames, which could now be merged with his regular Qi to make his attacks even more lethal.

"Proceed to upgrade my cultivation to the First Stage of the King Realm," Wang Jian commanded.

In no time, he felt a mysterious energy merging with his Sea of Qi, and his cultivation began to advance swiftly.

The Flames in his Sea of Qi erupted in response, empowered by Wang Jian's newfound insight into the profound Laws of Flame, overwhelming his senses.

The Dark Flame Double-Headed River Dragon was able to withstand the sudden influx of flame energy within Wang Jian's Sea of Qi due to its high rank. If it were still at the Six Star Rank, the dark attribute would have been significantly suppressed by the overwhelming surge of flame energy.

After advancing his cultivation to the King Realm, Wang Jian exuded a newfound confidence in his capacity to confront and overcome any challenges that may arise upon his return to the Everlasting Mystic Empire.
