The majestic and mighty internal energy of a Martial Sage transformed into a terrifying shockwave, sending the massive giant lizard flying. It spun several times in the air before it finally CRASHED to the ground!
The moment it hit the ground, the giant lizard's large tongue lolled out crookedly from its mouth. It had been knocked unconscious once again!
"Alright... it's okay now, Brother Xiao. No one will disturb us now. Let's..."
Ye Xuan'er returned to Lin Xiao's side, her cheeks flushed with the same shyness as before, her red lips slightly pouted as if yearning for something.
Seeing the girl's infatuated state, Lin Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.
He knew that in the original story, Ye Chen had fantasized about this younger sister of his since childhood. Despite all his suggestive teasing, she had never been this proactive!
It seems like Xuan'er really likes me... just like my three junior sisters...
A wave of emotion swept over him once more. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Alright, let's... start over."
Next, the two locked eyes, their gazes deep with emotion.
The atmosphere returned to how it should be...
An indescribable emotion spread between them.
Once again.
Kiss!
This time, during their intimate moment, Lin Xiao couldn't resist using his Wood Attribute Innate Divine Ability—three tendrils, no, vines!
What excited him was that, unlike Wanning, this Queen, true to her reputation as the one who unified the North Territory, didn't reject these strange things at all!
Just as the atmosphere was gradually heating up.
"Xuan'er! I heard from the returning Beichuan soldiers that you encountered a water monster! Are you alright!?"
At that moment, an urgent voice reached their ears.
At this, even Ye Xuan'er, who had been lost in the moment, couldn't help but shudder and take a step back.
Her eyes widened in panic as she looked toward the doorway.
She saw that her disheveled, one-armed older brother had actually come looking for them again!
"You... you two!!!!"
"Xuan'er! You... you're actually with this despicable creature..."
"You're stabbing your Brother Chen's heart with a knife, AHHH!"
At that moment, Ye Chen completely broke down. Frantically scratching his forehead, he kept retreating until his heel caught the threshold, and he fell hard!
If one were to say that last night at the City Lord's Hall, Lin Xiao, that villain, had taken advantage of the situation to kiss his younger sister, Ye Chen could have barely endured that humiliation!
But now! He clearly saw his beloved younger sister being even more proactive than this lifelong, most hated rival!
"NO!!!"
"It hurts! It hurts too much!"
"Xuan'er, why... why have you debased yourself like this!"
At this moment, the Son of Destiny, who had been proud all his life and refused to admit defeat even in adversity, was beating his chest and stamping his feet, wailing loudly. He had completely degenerated into the state of a sore loser!
"Ignore him, Xuan'er."
Somehow, Lin Xiao felt a sudden, inexplicable thrill of excitement. He forcefully tilted the stunning queen's face up and kissed her again!
"Stop looking at that guy. If you like Brother Xiao, be a little more proactive. Kiss me, alright?"
Lin Xiao spoke gently, a roguishly charming smile playing on his handsome lips, as if possessing a unique power to bewitch.
"I..."
"I'll listen to Brother Xiao!"
Finally, Ye Xuan'er held back her tears, averted her gaze from Ye Chen, closed her eyes, and pressed her cheek against the white-robed lover before her!
"That's right, just like that. Be more proactive, good Xuan'er. Stick out your..."
"Mm, that's right."
Lin Xiao continued to coax her.
Meanwhile, his peripheral vision secretly glanced towards the even more devastated and desperate Ye Chen!
At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of catharsis!
He had finally avenged Huaizhen!
DING!
"Congratulations! You have landed a double critical hit on the Son of Destiny, causing his Luck Value to decrease by 2,200 points! (Luck base color: Dark Blue → Light Blue)"
"You have obtained the villain's reward: Taiyin Xuanji Body (a top-tier physique among all heavens and myriad realms. Anyone possessing this physique has an astonishingly rapid cultivation speed and can ignore spatial and temporal barriers, continuously supplying their Dao companion with all forms of origin energy.)"
(This reward is: Gold. Reward Tiers: White, Green, Azure, Blue, Purple, Gold, Red.)
[Note: This physique reward is temporarily stored in the Host's Divine Soul in soul form. This physique cannot be used by the Host and can only be bestowed upon a Dao companion through Dual Cultivation!]
...
The system's notification sound echoed in his ears.
While holding Ye Xuan'er, Lin Xiao couldn't help but glance at it, his attention momentarily diverted.
Impressive!
That fellow Ye Chen lost 2,200 points of Luck Value!
Looks like his toupee got snatched right off!
Indeed, the Minotaur is forever supreme!
"Lin Xiao! This Princely Heir will take your dog life today!"
"Not even an Immortal can save you now!"
"Die!"
Just as Lin Xiao was inwardly exulting, a terrifying murderous intent swept over him from behind!
It was that aggrieved Son of Destiny, unable to restrain himself any longer, about to make his move!
Ye Chen, you haven't disappointed me after all.
Excellent!
This is the perfect opportunity to let Xuan'er see your true colors!
Sensing the terrifying aura—a blend of Daoist Primordial Qi and the Demon Sect's baleful energy—Lin Xiao felt no fear, only a surge of wild joy!
"Brother Xiao, step back for now!"
"That aura about him is neither righteous nor demonic; it's extremely strange and fierce!"
Ye Xuan'er rose to her feet, shielding Lin Xiao behind her, her powerful protective aura surging and coiling!
Suddenly, with a flick of her hand, the Queen's scepter seemed to answer a summons, leaping from the ground into her grasp!
"Little sister Xuan'er, if you truly want a future with me, why not try to understand the me of this moment, can you?"
Lin Xiao merely smiled at the young woman and planted a kiss on her small cheek.
Immediately afterward, his handsome eyes turned cold. He summoned his Lifebound Immortal Sword, "Shadow Moon," from his Purple Mansion and, with a flicker of his form, launched a sword strike at Ye Chen!
The moment he unleashed this strike, his expression turned solemn. He executed a sword seal and uttered a line:
"Shatter—Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water!"
"Hmph, utterly ridiculous! Lin Xiao! With that feeble Lifebound Immortal Sword of yours, you think you can overcome this Princely Heir's Black Hawk Raksha?"
"So be it! The humiliation from the Five Branches Martial Competition—it's time this Princely Heir reclaimed it!"
Seeing his opponent dare to attack him directly, Ye Chen's lips curled into a scornful sneer. He drew his incomparably sharp, wide black sword, which pulsed with an aura of destruction. Channeling the "Demon Seed" energy within him, he unleashed a mighty slash!
SWOOSH!
This sword strike tore through the void, seemingly carving a path to hell itself!
CRACK!
The next moment, a sword swept across—
His rival, Lin Xiao, standing before him, was decapitated—his head thudded to the ground!
SPLATTER!
Fresh blood sprayed onto the divine statues in the ruined temple!
"He's dead!"
"Lin Xiao is dead!"
"I... I've finally killed that detestable Immortal Stick! HAHAHAHA!"
"Old Shi! Did you see that!? This is the fellow you were always so wary of! Before the true Son of Destiny, he's utterly insignificant!"
"This opportunity-stealing thief is dead! From this day forward, I, Ye Wudi, shall reclaim the supreme status of the Son of Destiny! In all of heaven and earth, I alone am supreme!"
Seeing the rival he had feared most in his life finally fall beneath his sword, the young man became hysterical. He laughed and cried simultaneously, the very tone of his laughter twisting into something distorted and terrifying:
"JIE JIE JIE JIE JIE JIE JIE JIE..."
