High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

However, Jiang Yue'er quickly put her thoughts aside. Her mind raced, and countless ideas flashed through her mind in an instant.

This man must have mistaken her for someone else? He thinks she's Jiang Rou'er?

And judging from his tone, he and Rou'er... are Daoist partners? He waited for her for many years? He said he wanted to avenge her?

Jiang Yue'er's mind raced. It turned out that the disdainful look she received at the beginning wasn't directed at "Jiang Yue'er" at all, but rather because he mistook her for "Jiang Rou'er" flirting with another man.

Was he jealous? Did he think she had betrayed him, which is why he showed that look of disgust?

Then, out of jealousy, he turned Xuan into a slave. His possessiveness and domineering nature bordered on obsession.

How much must this man love Jiang Rou'er to react to seeing "her" fighting with another man?

Instead of asking why, his first reaction was to use an Eternal-level relic to turn the Daoist of the Temple of Myriad Laws into an obedient dog.

Jiang Yue'er's heart raced, and the corners of her mouth almost uncontrollably turned up in a smile. This kind of man is the easiest to fool.

He was domineering, forceful, and unreasonable, but when it came to her, his eyes reddened, his voice trembled, and he sounded like a wounded wild beast.

Furthermore, this man's aura was clearly that of a ninth-tier supreme being, yet he was able to directly suppress her and Xuan. That must be due to the millions of constant power boosts from being a permanent member.

The fact that he has so many cosmic crystals to reach the level of an eternal member, and can casually produce an eternal relic of the level of a supreme enslavement talisman, indicates that he is either incredibly wealthy or has a powerful force behind him.

It would be almost impossible to collect 10,000 top-grade crystals on this battlefield in three years.

There's only one explanation: he brought these top-grade cosmic crystals in himself, and he's definitely not one of the Nine Holy Temples.

A ninth-tier supreme being who can carry tens of thousands of top-grade crystals with him is either the core successor of a reclusive force or a direct descendant of an ancient family in the Chaos Sea.

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Jiang Yue'er's eyes. Since he had admitted his mistake, she might as well play along.

Since Jiang Rou'er is already dead and there's no way to verify anything, as long as she plays the role of "Jiang Rou'er" well, this man will be completely obedient to her.

With her methods, she could definitely hook him up. Not only would she not have to live, but she could also make him hand over all his wealth.

She bit her lip and made the fastest decision of her life.

She lowered her eyes, her voice carrying just the right amount of grievance and innocence:

"I...I didn't lay a hand on him. We were fighting, I was fighting him to the death."

I didn't know you would come here to find me. All these years, I always thought you had already...

She didn't continue, lowered her head, and her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she didn't dare to look at him.

Su Jie's hand slid off her shoulder, he took half a step back, and stared at her for a long time.

His expression changed from anger to doubt, from doubt to hesitation, and from hesitation to...heartache.

"Really?" His voice was hoarse.

Jiang Yue'er raised her head, tears welling in her eyes, and met his gaze: "It's true. I've thought about you every single day these past few years."

I just can't find you. The Chaotic Sea is too vast; I don't know where you are.

I became the disciple of the Celestial Maiden Temple, but I am not happy at all.

If I could choose, I would rather be with you, wandering in the chaotic sea.

As she spoke, she almost believed it herself.

These words were perfectly worded, explaining why she hadn't gone to see him, expressing her longing for him, and implying that she wasn't happy being a virgin.

Su Jie remained silent for a long time, then reached out and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and laughed, "Then you're not allowed to run away anymore."

Jiang Yue'er leaned against his chest, closed her eyes, and smiled slightly.

It became.

She breathed a long sigh of relief, while secretly feeling smug.

What kind of successor of a hidden force in the Chaos Sea, what kind of devoted and faithful Daoist partner, was he not easily won over by her with just a few words?

Once she has thoroughly investigated his background and drained his resources, she will find a way to get rid of him, or simply turn him into her pawn.

As she was making plans, Su Jie's hand slid down her waistline and naturally landed on her buttocks, patting them lightly twice.

Jiang Yue'er's body stiffened abruptly, and she subconsciously tried to struggle, but then she heard Su Jie's voice coming from above her, with a hint of laughter: "Rou'er, you've changed."

Jiang Yue'er bit her lip, suppressing the urge to struggle, her voice still soft: "What's changed?"

Su Jie didn't remove his hand; he patted it again, his tone tinged with nostalgia and satisfaction: "It's even perkier than before. But that's good."

That man is such a dog!

Jiang Yue'er's cheeks flushed red instantly. In all her years of cultivation, she had never been treated so lightly.

But she is "Jiang Rou'er," his Daoist partner, and such intimacy between them should be normal.

She couldn't push him away, she couldn't resist, otherwise she would be exposed.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the humiliation and anger in her heart, buried her face in his chest, and said in a voice with just the right amount of coquettishness, "You...you're still so indecent."

Su Jie laughed heartily, looking down at her flushed cheeks and evasive eyes, inwardly sighing:

This woman's acting skills are truly superb. The stiffness and struggle she showed just now would have been almost completely overshadowed by her shy demeanor later on if he hadn't been so perceptive.

Jiang Yue'er felt his movements and became even more flustered. She lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him, but in her heart she was making another plan.

Does he even remember the detail that Rou'er's buttocks weren't as perky as hers before? Or was he just casually flirting with her?

In any case, she's passed this hurdle. She needs to adapt to the role as soon as possible and not let any more flaws show.

The problem is, he hasn't removed his hand yet, and he has no intention of removing it at all.

Jiang Yue'er's heart was beating faster and faster. She could endure humiliation and fear, but she could not tolerate losing control. And now, she was losing control of the situation step by step.

What if he does something even worse? If he continues, how should she refuse? Refusing would give her away, but not refusing... she didn't dare think about it.

It seems like she's fallen into a trap. She thought that as long as she played the role of "Jiang Rou'er" well, she could manipulate him at will.

But this man doesn't play by the rules at all. He's not only affectionate, he's also domineering, forceful, and... lecherous. She seems to have underestimated him.

No, I have to use some tricks to stop him from continuing, otherwise I'll be exposed soon.

Jiang Yue'er bit her lip, her mind racing. She couldn't push him away, she couldn't show resistance, but she could distract him.

Jiang Yue'er took a deep breath, lifted her face from his chest, looked at him with tearful eyes, and spoke in a soft voice with just the right amount of shyness:

"Don't you want to tell me where you went after that? And how come your combat strength is so strong now? Even I'm completely overwhelmed by you."
