If I stay in the Hehuan Sect, I'll live off the pampered daughters of the Heavenly Pride Sect.

"Ugh—!"

Lin Miaoyin was struck dumb.

The murderous aura that had been there instantly deflated like a punctured balloon.

Her stunningly beautiful face flushed crimson at a visible speed, and even her earlobes seemed to bleed.

My legs went weak.

He fell forward uncontrollably.

From an outsider's perspective.

It was as if the saintly maiden charged forward aggressively, and then... threw herself into the clay figure's arms!

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

Ye Wushang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Xiao Fan's hand holding the gun trembled slightly.

A crack appeared on Ye Changfeng's indifferent face.

What kind of move is this?

He subdued the saintess in one move?

Or……

What kind of shady dealings are going on between these two?!

"you……"

Lin Miaoyin slumped in Mo Chengyue's arms, her whole body burning with unbearable heat, and she didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

She was filled with shame and rage; if the murderous intent in her eyes could materialize, Mo Chengyue would have been torn to pieces long ago.

"Don't move."

Mo Chengyue took the opportunity to tighten his embrace around her slender waist.

His hands, covered in mud, were smeared unceremoniously onto the saintess's priceless robes.

Using his posture as cover, he brought his lips close to Lin Miaoyin's ear and whispered viciously in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Your Highness, you don't want everyone to know that I was the one who had 'close contact' with you in the pit just now, do you?"

"or……"

"Do you want the photos of your 'ugly' behavior during the competition to be spread throughout the entire sect tomorrow?"

Threat!

A blatant threat!

Lin Miaoyin was so angry that she trembled all over, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Shameless..."

She gritted her teeth and squeezed out two words.

"You can't refuse... You just wait... As long as I don't fall into your hands..."

But under the suppression of the rampaging pure yang energy within her body, her harsh words sounded soft and gentle, more like a coquettish plea.

"Wait?"

Mo Chengyue sneered.

He glanced at Ye Wushang and the others not far away, whose eyes were gleaming as they seemed to be imagining some earth-shattering gossip.

His eyes darted around, and an idea came to him.

If we're going to put on a show, let's make it a big one!

"Does the Holy Maiden also find this place too noisy?"

Mo Chengyue suddenly raised his voice, his tone carrying a hint of doting and helplessness.

As he spoke, he secretly increased the transmission of Yin and Yang energy.

The tingling sensation, as if an electric current was coursing through her spine, almost made Lin Miaoyin cry out on the spot.

"Since the Holy Maiden is distressed that my junior brother's enlightenment has been disturbed, then please have him seen out!"

Mo Chengyue's words sounded very high-sounding.

But to Lin Miaoyin, it sounded like the whispers of the devil!

If she doesn't do as he says, that bastard will definitely embarrass her in public!

The intense shame and the strange sensations in her body caused Lin Miaoyin's rationality to completely collapse.

To cover up her impending uncontrollable moans, she could only channel her shame and indignation into anger towards those around her.

She turned her head abruptly.

That face, flushed and breathtakingly beautiful, carried a hysterical madness.

He let out a scream towards Ye Wushang and the others:

"roll!!"

"Get out of here, all of you!!!"

That shout was so heart-wrenching, so full of genuine emotion.

Ye Wushang was stunned.

Xiao Fan was stunned.

The entire audience was stunned.

Is this... this love?

That saintess who regarded men as worthless and was as arrogant as a peacock actually cursed them like a shrew to get out in order to protect this clay figure from Qingquan Peak.

Real hammer!

There's definitely something going on between them!

And it seems that the saintess is still the one who is "love-struck"!

Ye Wushang's face instantly turned liver-colored.

He glanced at Lin Miaoyin, who was fiercely protective of her child, and then at Mo Chengyue, who had a look on his face that said, "I can't help it, she just insists on spoiling me."

In an instant, a shocking conspiracy flashed through my mind: "Qingquan Peak and Zizhu Peak joined forces to cleanse the Tianqi Secret Realm."

beat?

How do I play?

A small monster with the sword intent of annihilation, an unfathomable mudman, and a saintess who has gone mad.

This is hellish difficulty!

"Good...very good!"

Ye Wushang gritted his teeth, feeling as if his Dao heart was about to shatter.

"Those two... let's go!"

He stared intently at the clay figure embracing the saintess, as if trying to etch the words "cannot be pushed away" into his very bones.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he turned and left with his men.

Xiao Fan and Ye Changfeng exchanged a glance. Although they felt something was amiss, the current situation made it unwise to linger, so they could only transform into streaks of light and leave.

In just a few breaths.

The once tense valley is now empty once again.

"call……"

It's confirmed that those plague-ridden people are really gone.

Mo Chengyue released his grip on Lin Miaoyin instantly, as if throwing away a hot potato.

"Excuse me!"

He didn't even dare to look at Lin Miaoyin, who was slumped on the ground.

At the speed of a 100-meter sprint, he carried the unconscious Wenren Ji on his back with one hand and dragged the still-unresponsive Qin Wanzhuang with the other.

clap clap clap!

He slapped three Swiftness Talismans onto his legs.

Whoosh!

His entire body transformed into a yellowish-brown afterimage, and with an extremely disheveled yet astonishingly fast movement, he plunged headfirst into the nearby bushes, instantly disappearing without a trace using earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic or technique).

Only a silent complaint remained, drifting in the wind:

"Damn it, this is a huge loss! I have to ask my master for reimbursement for my emotional distress!"

Lin Miaoyin collapsed to the ground.

She stared blankly at the disappearing figure, feeling the lingering warmth on her waist and the muddy stain on her hand.

Tears finally streamed down my face.

That's angry.

It's also embarrassing.

Her fingers dug tightly into the soil, her knuckles turning white.

"Push...but...it...falls..."

"I swear I won't be human if I don't kill you!!!"

……

In less than half an hour.

An outrageous rumor spread like wildfire throughout the entire Apocalypse Secret Realm.

Shocking! Mysterious Clay Figure at Qingquan Peak Suppresses Holy Son with One Hand!

Breaking News! The Holy Maiden of Hehuan Publicly Professes Her Love, Fighting Off a Crowd to Protect Her Lover!

Who exactly is that man called "Unstoppable"? A deep dive into the terrifying secrets behind Qingquan Peak!

At this moment, the image of Qingquan Peak as "everyone is a villain" was completely confirmed.

……

at this time.

Hundreds of miles away, deep within a hidden cave.

"Thump."

Mo Chengyue threw himself to the ground without any regard for his image, panting heavily.

"I'm exhausted..."

"This is like dancing disco on a knife's edge; one wrong move and it's all over!"

He complained as he reached up to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

however.

The instant he raised his hand.

He suddenly felt a chill down his back.

The feeling of being targeted by a top predator made the hairs on his body stand on end.

Mo Chengyue turned his head stiffly.

The second senior sister, Qin Wanzhuang, who had been in a semi-conscious state, had opened her eyes at some point.

She didn't look at the wound, nor did she look at her surroundings.

Those eyes, usually so cold and aloof, were now fixed intently on Mo Chengyue's right hand.

That was the hand that had just... wrapped around Lin Miaoyin's waist.

There was even a faint, lingering scent of cosmetics on it.

Qin Wanzhuang's brows furrowed slightly.

Besides the signature disdain, there seemed to be a hint of something else in his eyes...

A dangerous glint in the eye, revealing some kind of truth?

"Senior... Senior Sister?"

Mo Chengyue swallowed hard and chuckled twice.

"Um... this is tactical, do you understand tactics?"

Qin Wanzhuang remained silent.

She simply gave him a deep look, as if to say, "You really are a lecher just like Xie Buci."

Then he turned his head to the side.

"It's filthy."

Mo Chengyue: "..."
