Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 169 - Bewitching and Depravity

"Oh dear, why are you crying? I didn't do anything to you!" Qian Lingyun pouted, patted Zhang Lexuan's shoulder impatiently, and comforted her, "Don't cry! It's nothing!"

"Do you know that the harder you cry, the more excited I get? Hehehe."

Qian Lingyun laughed for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Zhang Lexuan's throat with her hooked nails, forcing her to look closely into her dark red eyes. She growled in a low voice, "I said, hold back your tears. I won't allow you to cry, so don't cry!"

"Hmm..." Zhang Lexuan raised her hand and grasped the slender hand stuck in her throat, nodding painfully. But Qian Lingyun didn't listen, instead tightening her grip slightly. "I'll repeat myself, I, Qian Lingyun, am your master. Here, you can only answer yes or no, or you'll be in for a world of hurt, understand?"

"Yes, Master," Zhang Lexuan nodded with difficulty.

Hearing this, Qian Lingyun's gloomy expression brightened. She readily released the hand that was gripping Zhang Lexuan's throat, gently stroked her cheek with her other hand, and softly praised, "Good girl, as expected of Senior Sister Lexuan! You learn very quickly!"

"Now, I have something I need you to do," Qian Lingyun said, hooking Zhang Lexuan's chin with her index finger and using her soul power to lift the Shrek Academy uniform beside her, handing it to Zhang Lexuan with a playful hum.

"You..." Zhang Lexuan blurted out a habitual slip of the tongue, but upon seeing Qian Lingyun's icy eyes, she quickly corrected herself, "Master...you mean..."

"That's right, just like you thought." Qian Lingyun nodded, pursing her lips, and said with an awkward smile, "Let's destroy this dress first, as a way of saying goodbye to the past!"

"Hmm..." Zhang Lexuan trembled as she clutched the robe that symbolized a Shrek Academy inner court disciple, looking at it with reluctance, unable to react for a long time. Qian Lingyun, on the other hand, reacted much faster...

"Looks like you still haven't learned your lesson!"

As she spoke, a transparent gray whip appeared in front of Qian Lingyun. She raised her hand, made a grasping motion in the air, and added a blood-red skull to Zhang Lexuan's head. With another flick, the whip's phantom landed on Zhang Lexuan's back.

Suddenly, a shrill scream erupted from Zhang Lexuan's body. Qian Lingyun could see that a light and shadow exactly like Zhang Lexuan's was drawn out of her body and then merged back into her.

Furthermore, after the blood-red skull exploded, a large gash appeared on Zhang Lexuan's smooth back.

This is a dual spell that combines Death Lash and Blood Curse. Death Lash can directly attack the soul of another, while Blood Curse can inflict damage on the physical body after an explosion.

The soul-crushing pain caused Zhang Lexuan to collapse to her knees, convulsing and hissing in agony, her hands digging tightly into the soil beneath her.

Large beads of sweat dripped uncontrollably from her forehead.

"Does it hurt?" Qian Lingyun knelt down, helped Zhang Lexuan up, and hugged her to comfort her, "As long as you listen to me, you won't get hurt, okay?"

"Understood, Master."

This time, Zhang Lexuan's address was no longer awkward, but her body was still trembling from the pain of the whip.

"Good girl, I like obedient subordinates." Qian Lingyun excitedly patted Zhang Lexuan's back to make her lie down.

Slowly walking up behind Zhang Lexuan, Qian Lingyun took out the ointment she had bought at a high price at the auction, scooped out a dollop with her fingertip, and gently rubbed it on Zhang Lexuan's wound, saying softly, "This medicine of mine works very well and won't leave a scar. A pretty girl like you shouldn't have scars on her body."

"Yes, thank you, Master." Zhang Lexuan lowered her head, feeling the burning pain on her back gradually being replaced by a cool sensation. The angel mark on her chest also unconsciously emitted a faint purple light.

"No need to thank me. To me, there are only two kinds of lives in this world: those who obey me and those who deserve everything."

"The other is the enemy, whom I will inflict with unimaginable pain and torment."

After speaking, Qian Lingyun admired her masterpiece, nodded in satisfaction, stood up and sat down in front of Zhang Lexuan. Like a saint comforting her child, she stroked Zhang Lexuan's head and whispered:

"Compared to Shrek, who was destined to be lost in the river of time, you are lucky to have met me."

"You're very lucky to have become my first servant, and I'm happy to give you a few more chances."

"Lucky?!" Zhang Lexuan looked at herself blankly. From the proud daughter of Shrek Academy, the future dean of the Martial Soul Department and a member of the Sea God Pavilion, she had become a maid whom a woman could manipulate at will.

If this is considered lucky, then what would misfortune look like?

Just then, Qian Lingyun's voice whispered in Zhang Lexuan's ear like a devil, pulling her deeper and deeper into depravity.

"I know quite a bit about your story: your family was wiped out, and to seek revenge, you became the child bride of a boy several years younger than you..."

"But are you really willing to do this? Willing to spend your whole life for a man who loves another woman?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but glance at Tang Ya on the ground, and for some reason, a surge of inexplicable anger welled up in her heart.

"Instead of wasting time, let's climb to the top of the continent together!"

Under the influence of the other side of the dream, Zhang Lexuan's originally unwavering belief began to waver.

Yes, this is the bewitching power of Rakshasa; it can stir up the darkest and most vile thoughts in the human heart.

It can shake the faith, corrupt the virtuous, and utterly degrade the wicked.

If one's mind wavers even slightly, this gap will expand infinitely, and bewitchment—an ability that Bibi Dong had never used before—has reached its peak in Qian Lingyun's hands.

Zhang Lexuan, who was crawling on the ground, looked up at the woman in front of her who had a mysterious and powerful aura. For the first time, she was confused and began to doubt her years of perseverance.

She's right. Why should I waste my life on a man who loves someone else? Why... But...

"But I swore an oath with my martial spirit to..."

As she spoke, Zhang Lexuan lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Qian Lingyun, and whispered in a clenched fist.

"You're going to marry him and spend your life protecting that girl named Beibei, right?" Qian Lingyun gently traced Zhang Lexuan's back with her fingertips, following the curve to her collarbone, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about that, I'll take care of it for you."

"Huh!?" Zhang Lexuan was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion, "But... Master, this is an oath I swore with my Martial Soul... If it's an oath with my Martial Soul, then it's not..."
