After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

Regardless of her lifelong reputation, a humiliated and indignant Long Wanyan would probably kill everyone present to silence them.

Depend on!

For the sake of integrity!!!

With this thought, Xiao Yu clenched his fists. As the dragon woman's body trembled, the third battle came to an end.

During halftime, Xiao Yu also had a plan. After so many times, he was clear about Long Wanyan's general physical weaknesses.

It's time to fight back. As a man, he can't always be the bottom.

He never fights a battle he is unprepared for.

"Ding! The Five Poisons Powder has been retrieved. Additionally, because the host specified a different retrieval location, corresponding points have been deducted..."

Fighting them is out of the question, but poisoning them is a different story.

There are many places in the human body where toxins can be absorbed.

So, when Long Wanyan got close to him, preparing to pour dragon blood into his lips, at this most unguarded moment... well, it seems that Long Wanyan had never been wary of him at all.

In short, taking advantage of Long Wanyan's lapse in attention, Xiao Yu grabbed the silver-scaled tail and traced his way down the scarf around her neck to the base of the tail.

"Well……"

Instantly, the dragon woman on top of him stiffened, letting out a soft, cute hum.

For Long Wanyan, who had always been human and had never grown a tail, this was the first time she had used the dragon-human form. Therefore, this extra organ was a novel sensation for her, and she was very sensitive to it.

Even the slightest breeze would make her body tremble slightly. Taking advantage of this, Xiao Yu successfully pushed back and took the initiative to bite Long Wanyan's tender lips.

A warm, soft touch, mixed with scalding dragon blood, mingled with the two people's heavy breathing.

"Well……"

Boom!

With a muffled thud, Long Wanyan was pinned down by Xiao Yu. The car headlights swayed, and her two white-scaled claws were grabbed and pressed against her head. "Gulp~ Wait! No... Ah!"

She was about to say something when Xiao Yu followed the scales and pinched hard at the junction of the tail and rump.

Instantly, Long Wanyan felt her body go limp, let out a soft moan, and lost all strength. As she relaxed, the effects of the dragon blood infusion kicked in. There was nothing she could do; it was unavoidable. So... she switched from the upright staff to the thrusting staff.

Call ~

Afterwards, Xiao Yu didn't immediately pull up his pants. Instead, he took out his sword-nurturing gourd and slowly took a big gulp, as a way to cool down after multiple battles.

Without the damned dragon blood's sustain, he finally entered a period of reflection.

In contrast, under these unexpected circumstances, Long Wanyan was completely unaware that Xiao Yu was poisoning her.

On the contrary... there is a sense of wanting to do what is right, of being defied and enjoying it. By the time they realize it, they are already seriously poisoned and have fallen into a state of sensory confusion.

The plan goes through!

It's a bit hard on the kidneys, though.

Under the influence of the strong liquor, Xiao Yu's dry complexion warmed up slightly, but his hands were still trembling. He lost his grip and the gourd fell to the ground, spilling the clear liquor all over the floor.

Xiao Yu didn't care. He stood up and was about to pull up his pants to tidy up the area so that the others wouldn't see such an unsightly scene when they arrived.

Just then, light footsteps sounded.

?

He turned his head and saw that at that moment... Li Yunshang arrived.

"..."

Time goes back to the present.

The girl in crimson robes before him had a slight upturn at the corners of her lips, and an invisible danger emanated from her calm eyes.

Got it!

Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat. Knowing Li Yunshang as he did, he was sure she might blurt out, "Even if you didn't call me, I would have come to do this kind of thing."

Then, with a sickly, yandere expression, she pinned him to the ground...

Based on how their previous encounters had unfolded, this was already a done deal.

Xiao Yu's body had developed muscle memory; he tensed up, ready to be tackled.

only……

"Forget it, I was just kidding. Let's let it go this time. Senior Brother Yu, you must be very tired."

To Xiao Yu's surprise, the girl let go of his hand, took a step back, and with a whoosh, the collar around her neck fell off without any support.

Eh? !

Xiao Yu was stunned. This...

He looked at Li Yunshang, his eyes, like the setting sun, were still as bright as ever, but besides that familiar possessiveness, there seemed to be something else in them, sparkling.

My junior sister... has changed.

Xiao Yu looked down and realized that the sturdy collar, which was supposedly painstakingly and expensively crafted, had been cut open and was lying on the ground in disgrace.

Upon closer inspection, Li Yunshang's neck was completely bare.

What happened was obvious: she...cut the collar she always wore around her neck. Perhaps even without its guidance, she believed she would have found Xiao Yu on her own.

They were so desperate to die before, has this person finally come to terms with it?

As expected of the skirt-pressing knife that killed the protagonist, it is incredibly sharp and can even cut through the collar.

It turns out that Li Yunshang always had the ability to remove the collar.

But she didn't do that. After all... after Xiao Yu left her without stopping or looking back, this thing... was the only connection between her and him.

His name is not Ye Feng, he is Xiao Yu. Everything Li Yunshang knew before was false; this is not him.

She lacked confidence; she was afraid of losing it.

and so……

As long as she can be with Senior Brother Yu, she'd be willing to be a dog.

However, this humble wish was abruptly crushed by Long Wanyan, who joined the fray halfway through the journey, with a lightning-fast attack.

Long Wanyan and Li Yunshang may be two completely different people.

Does Long Wanyan like Xiao Yu?

Xiao Yu didn't know, and neither did Long Wanyan herself. Long Wanyan looked gentle, but deep down she was a very domineering person, driven by her dragon nature.

All she knew was that Xiao Yu's Yin essence was beneficial to her cultivation, and since she had already entrusted him with her first time, she had no reservations and decided that it was for life.

Since you've acquired my scent and taken my things, you're mine now.

Even though Long Wanyan didn't show it, she had this thought in her subconscious, but her shyness as a woman concealed it.

Does she need Xiao Yu's love for her?

Ultimately, that's not important; what she craves is his body, and that's enough.

Li Yunshang looked domineering and sickly, as if she wanted nothing more than to tie Xiao Yu up and take him back to the sect so she could have sex with him every day.

In reality, just when she was about to be with Xiao Yu, she hesitated because of the scent of another woman on Xiao Yu.

She hesitated, wondering if Xiao Yu had another woman in his life, or if he liked another woman.

Li Yunshang lacks love; she's like a child afraid of being alone. Now that she has a powerful weapon, she shouts and bluffs, as if afraid that the person she likes will leave her side.

Even without Xiao Yu, Long Wanyan can still be the sect leader of Qingyun Fuzong.

Without Xiao Yu, she was nothing but a crybaby, a good-for-nothing with no spiritual roots and no one to help her; she was a burden to her mother.

That's why she seemed completely distraught when she learned that Xiao Yu was about to get married.

She also desired Xiao Yu's body, but more so Xiao Yu as a person, a complete and whole person.

As long as Xiao Yu still pays attention to her and has a place for her in his heart, that's enough.

That's good...

Li Yunshang looked quietly at Xiao Yu in front of her. Senior Brother Yu was just dirty, but otherwise he was fine.

That's why she should change her old ways. Forcing him will only push Xiao Yu further away, and he'll run away whenever they meet.

She wanted to act quietly and steadily, so that Xiao Yu would lower his guard against her, and then, without anyone noticing, swallow her whole.

If the feigned attack on one side fails, then it's time to secretly advance another.

That's why, upon seeing this scene before her, she suppressed the emotions that welled up within her.

Instead of acting normally, he appeared indifferent to the current situation, though beneath his calm eyes lay a turbulent undercurrent.

Xiao Yu looked again at the collar that had been forcibly torn open on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a sense of loss.

Having gotten used to Li Yunshang's relentless pursuit, this sudden change felt a bit strange.

That's good. Although I don't know what happened, it seems she probably witnessed what happened between me and Long Wanyan. She should let it go.

That's good...

This girl has finally come to terms with it.

The female lead doesn't necessarily have to be fixated on this crooked tree; she should have the self-awareness expected of a female lead.

only……

Just as Xiao Yu raised his head, a soft touch pressed against his lips. The girl could no longer suppress the emotions welling up inside her and hugged him.

It's like a dragonfly skimming the water, touching the surface briefly and stopping there, without any lust involved, nothing more.

At the same time, a soft murmur sounded in her ear: "Senior Brother Yu... thank you..."

Whether she was abducted by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect after giving up on herself, or when she encountered danger in the secret realm, there was always a touch of warmth accompanying her, warming her dry and desolate heart.

Hearing the whispers in his ear, Xiao Yu didn't know how to react. He simply placed his hand lightly and subconsciously on Li Yunshang's head, pressing it against his chest.

Inside the sweltering cave, the two embraced tightly—behind this heartwarming scene...
