Chapter 501 Let's see who seizes the initiative first.
Chu Yanqiu's iron-like hands gripped Shen Wen's hand, almost dragging her out of the house as she was dressed as a bride.
Upon exiting the house, one would see a small sedan chair already prepared in the courtyard.
She helped Shen Wen into the sedan chair, and in front of it, he said to her, "Don't blame me for being heartless. Women are like clothes, but my closest relatives are the most important people in my life."
Sitting in the sedan chair, Shen Wen remained relatively calm. She even said, "I don't blame you for making this decision. I will do as you say."
Chu Yanqiu, however, felt as if he had a chokehold on his throat, unable to utter any words of gratitude.
Looking at Chu Yanqiu's expressionless, wooden face, for some reason, her heart, which had been pounding, began to sink.
The sedan chair was lifted up, ready to be carried out.
At this moment, Shen Wen, who was sitting in the sedan chair, heard it.
"Wait a moment."
Then the sedan curtain was lifted.
Chu Yanqiu's figure reappeared in front of Shen Wen.
Chu Yanqiu said, "I know you have remarkable abilities, but I hope you will not act rashly."
Shen Wen originally wanted to agree to his request, but she wouldn't do it unless it was a dangerous situation.
Before she could answer him, Chu Yanqiu raised his right hand and held it out in front of her. Then he opened his right hand, which was holding something, and there was a pill in his palm.
“Take it. It’s a sleeping pill. I don’t believe you’ll obediently do as I say. I also know very well that every time you use those dangerous things, it’s directly controlled by your brain. So putting your brain to sleep is the best way.”
Shen Wen stared blankly at Chu Yanqiu, as if she were seeing this person for the first time.
Before she could sort out her thoughts, Chu Yanqiu quickly grabbed her chin and threw the small pill into her mouth.
Chu Yanqiu's technique was so skillful that it ended before Shen Wen's long-standing stress response could even kick in.
Shen Wen belatedly realized that she was touching the bottom of her throat, feeling the pill slide down her throat and into her stomach.
The sedan curtain was lowered, and the sedan chair set off again, while Shen Wen inside had already fallen into a quiet sleep.
Time passed by little by little.
When the sedan chair arrived at the young emperor's palace, a procession gradually appeared along the long palace alleyway they had come from. It was Chu Yanqiu's men, heading towards the palace gate. His two closest relatives could be clearly seen in the procession.
When Chu Yanqiu personally escorted his maternal grandfather and father back to their home.
Suddenly, the sky underwent a dramatic change. A long, rolling thunderclap boomed, so loud it seemed to split the entire sky above the capital. Almost all the people looked up at the sky at the same time, exclaiming in alarm, "Is the sky about to be split open?"
Then people saw that, in the clear blue sky, under the bright sun, what people had imagined to be a sudden flash of lightning, was actually tearing open the horizon little by little, as if it were being torn apart by a pair of giant human hands...
And so it went, accompanied by a long, drawn-out rumble of thunder…
In front of the Duke of Ji's mansion.
"Son!"
This is what the lackeys are shouting.
"Chu Yanqiu!"
These are my maternal grandfather and father shouting.
They were lost in thought, gazing intently at the sky, when they suddenly noticed that their young master was riding his horse towards the main street, the very road leading to and from the palace.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast his horse was, it couldn't keep up with what was happening in the palace.
Moreover, it's a conflict between immortals, demons, and gods.
In the young emperor's bedroom in the palace, a bestial act that should not have happened in broad daylight was taking place on the large bed.
The young emperor, now possessing the soul of Prince Rui, couldn't control his desires upon seeing Shen Wen, who had been knocked unconscious and placed on the bed.
He drove all the palace servants and eunuchs out, then took off his clothes and went to bed.
What Prince Rui did in bed was different from what normal men and women did in bed. He was determined to achieve immortality through dual cultivation, so many of the women in his bed would be tortured terribly with the help of the elixir he took. Moreover, his dual cultivation was beneficial to him, but a great loss to the women. Most of the women died after their yang energy was completely drained.
Shen Wen was unconscious. Normally, with her willpower, she might have woken up and fought back under such painful torment.
But how could the mastermind behind this carefully orchestrated scheme allow such a thing to happen?
Then she saw Shen Wen on the bed, just like what had happened rationally. She had been tormented and opened her eyes, but her body was unable to move. She was clearly and distinctly feeling this miserable, life-worse beastly feeling.
All of this was because Yu Chi Lian, who was standing at the head of the bed and in a state of invisibility, had a piece of Shen Wen's soul in his hand.
Just because this tiny fragment of his soul was taken away, Shen Wen was forced to experience all kinds of pain, yet he was unable to control his consciousness, whether it was his physical or mental functions.
Looking at the miserable scene on the bed, Yu Chi Lian finally tasted a bit of pleasure.
Only after she was completely satisfied with what she had seen did she look at the wisp of soul she was controlling with her fingers.
"Do you understand the difference between mortals and immortals now?"
The spirit on that finger was the one among the seven spirits that governs joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. This spirit was feeling the pain transmitted to it by the main body, and it was already in tears.
Upon hearing that this immortal had captured her soul, she didn't hold back for long before kneeling down.
She knelt and pleaded with Yu Chi Lian, turning her head back frequently to clearly express what she was begging for.
Yu Chi Lian was very satisfied with this guy's pragmatism.
She nodded in satisfaction and said to the soul, "Then you will enter into a master-servant contract with me, and I will release you back into your body. From now on, you must promise to be at my beck and call for all eternity."
The soul sensed the pain and sorrow transmitted to it by the main body once again, and immediately agreed. Then, trembling, it stretched out its hand, ready to make a pact with the immortal.
At this critical moment, thunder suddenly roared in the sky outside the window, as if the sky above was about to be split open.
Yu Chi Lian was startled by the thunderous roar that seemed to split the sky. The immortal's extremely sensitive perception of heaven and earth told her that something big was about to happen, and that it must be related to Shen Wen, whom she was dealing with.
It was during this brief moment of distraction that she regained her composure.
She didn't even notice the figure that suddenly appeared behind her.
By the time she realized it, the powerful divine sense of that figure had already enveloped her.
Believing herself to be invincible, she immediately released her divine sense to see who the figure behind her was.
The figure was now extremely enraged. His originally handsome face, due to extreme anger, momentarily resembled that of the legendary wrathful Vajra.
Yu Chi Lian was so frightened by this person's appearance that his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he was so frightened that he almost lost one of his three souls.
Under such a powerful shock, the wisp of Shen Wen's soul that was originally wrapped around her finger fell off. A gentle breeze blew by, and the soul quietly returned to its main body.
Having regained his complete soul, Shen Wen, who was being pinned down by the young emperor, suddenly sprang up and kicked the young emperor off the bed.
The young emperor's desire vanished after being kicked, and he stared blankly at Shen Wen, who had suddenly woken up.
He thought that once Shen Wen regained consciousness, he would open his eyes with hatred and jump out of bed to kill him at any moment.
Unexpectedly, Shen Wen was unable to do so. Her face turned deathly pale, she suddenly vomited blood, and then fainted again.
The young emperor was startled. He hadn't expected Shen Wen to die from just one dual cultivation session. Before they did it, he was confident that Shen Wen, being of divine blood, would not die from dual cultivation with him like ordinary women, who would only use it once.
But when he hurriedly got up to check on Shen Wen on the bed, a devastating thunderclap sounded outside the window again, shaking the entire room with just one thud.
When he regained his footing, the bright surrounding scenery suddenly turned into darkness. The little emperor, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed, belatedly but keenly noticed that the bed sheet his arm had touched had turned into cold moss.
He even reached out in disbelief, wiped a handful of the moss that covered the entire bed, and held it up to his eyes. In the light of the flashes of thunder outside the window, he could clearly see that it was moss.
The young emperor screamed in fright.
But before the scream could be fully uttered, she dramatically fainted.
Yu Chi Lian, who was enveloped by his master's divine sense at the head of the bed, was so frightened that his magical power dissipated for a moment, and his invisible figure was completely revealed.
She looked at her tall master and was so frightened that she took two steps back.
"Master...Master! You actually showed up so quickly."
Despite the bizarre alternation of day and night, it did not affect the eyesight of the immortals who had already achieved great cultivation. Yu Chi Lian could see his master very clearly.
Yu Chi Lian's face, which had been pale, gradually showed surprise.
"Master, it's so good that you're still alive! For so many years, your disciple has been thinking about how to bring you back to life..."
But before she could finish speaking, the room, already shrouded in darkness, began to change strangely once more.
Another powerful divine sense enveloped Yu Chi Lian. This time, this figure was not like her master, who was like a fierce Vajra, who carried seven parts killing intent. Instead, it was one hundred percent furious and murderous.
The moment this figure appeared, it carried a powerful attack force, hurtling towards her and her master, who was a few steps away from her.
In an instant, the thunder that had been slowly tearing the sky apart struck down with a powerful sound that almost pierced eardrums and a force that shattered hearts.
This demonstrates the immense power of this heaven-splitting force.
Yu Chi Lian, a celestial being who had achieved great success, was struck by the powerful force of the black shadow. The mighty Yu Chi Lian was overturned by this force, like a leaf, and was flipped several times before his entire body was embedded in the wall of the dormitory.
This was only because her master intervened and blocked the divine power. If her master hadn't just happened to block it, even with her divine body, she would have been reduced to dust.
With half of his body embedded in the wall, Yu Chi Lian kept staring at his master, only to see that his master had only managed to withstand the force of the dark figure before disappearing in a flash.
The shadowy figure, now without an opponent, grew even angrier and more furious.
But Shen Wen, the mortal who should have been unconscious on the bed, actually moved at this moment.
Like an elegant enchantress, she stretched languidly, her body previously naked, and then gracefully donned a magnificent robe before getting out of bed.
She smiled and said to the dark figure, "In the end, I got this opportunity before you. Since you lost, fulfill your bet and leave immediately."
The dark figure remained silent, but acknowledged the statement. However, he was still unwilling and turned back to glare fiercely at Yu Chi Lian inside the wall.
"It's all your fault! You ruined my plans! I'll never forgive you again!"
Then his figure flashed away.
