Exhausting her last ounce of strength, she pressed her frost-covered jade hands against Gu Yang's chest.
Yet that feeble push felt more like a dependent clinging in this moment.
Complex emotions surged deep within Gu Yang's dark eyes. With one arm, he held her soft, boneless body tightly, as if wanting to knead her into his very flesh and blood.
His other hand suddenly tightened, forcing her to tilt up her fragile, slender swan-like neck.
"Don't move!"
Gu Yang lowered his head, his thin lips almost touching her ear, his scorching breath hitting her reddened earlobe.
"Master, your disciple will not let you die."
With that said, Gu Yang bit his index finger.
A drop of essence blood, containing the ancient supreme Yang origin and burning with dark golden flames, was forcefully smeared onto Shen Qingyue's slightly parted red lips.
"Swallow it."
The boiling essence blood was like a miniature sun falling into an ice cave!
"Boom!"
The extreme Yang energy exploded within Shen Qingyue's dried-up meridians.
The Nine Yin cold poison, which clung like maggots to her bones, let out a shrill wail the moment it touched this supreme Yang essence blood, being overwhelmingly incinerated and assimilated!
"Ah..."
Shen Qingyue let out an extremely suppressed cry of pain.
The process of extreme cold being forcefully dispelled by extreme heat felt like death by a thousand cuts, yet it brought a bone-deep numbness.
Her usually icy, clear eyes finally gave way, as scalding tears mixed with melting frost came crashing down.
She no longer struggled.
That proud body, having walked the edge of life and death, had now completely surrendered to this man's domineering and burning embrace.
Like melting spring snow, she collapsed unreservedly into Gu Yang's arms.
Cold sweat slid down her pale chin, dripping onto Gu Yang's gray robes.
Within this hidden space completely sealed by the Primal Chaos Lotus Platform.
This aloof, iceberg-like Master stripped away her strength and disguise in this moment. Her hands tightly gripped the front of Gu Yang's robes, desperately and greedily absorbing his body heat.
...
Half an incense stick's time later.
The frost on Shen Qingyue's face completely faded, replaced by a radiant, translucent, and breathtaking glow.
Her broken meridians were reconnected under the nourishment of the supreme Yang essence blood.
"Steady your mind."
Gu Yang's hoarse voice sounded by her ear as he showed immense restraint, releasing his grip on her waist.
"Channel the flow, suppress the array core."
Shen Qingyue suddenly snapped back to reality, feeling the Golden Core spiritual energy within her body replenish and become even purer than before.
She didn't dare look into Gu Yang's eyes, which seemed able to pierce through one's soul. She forcefully suppressed the tsunami-like shame and strange palpitations in her heart.
Her hands rapidly formed hand seals, cooperating with the suppression of Gu Yang's Great Sun True Fire.
One Yin and one Yang, two completely different yet perfectly matching spiritual energies transformed into a giant Taiji diagram, crashing heavily into the rioting center of the lake below!
"Buzz—!"
The Reversing Yin-Yang Array let out an unwilling wail as its purple-black array patterns shattered inch by inch.
Replacing them was an extremely soft and pure deep-blue profound light.
The array core was completely suppressed.
The Mirror Moon Cold Lake returned to a dead silence, its massive black glass-like surface forming once again.
"We succeeded..."
Shen Qingyue's tense nerves finally relaxed.
Rumble!
The moment the grand array was suppressed, heaven and earth resonated.
The massive extreme Yin spiritual energy accumulated by the Mirror Moon Cold Lake over a century transformed into an extremely pure blue pillar of light. Like an enlightenment pouring from above, it crashed down into the crown of Shen Qingyue's head!
This was the feedback and baptism of the laws of heaven and earth!
Shen Qingyue felt all thirty-six thousand pores on her body open simultaneously, and her mid-stage Golden Core cultivation began to climb at a terrifying speed!
However.
Amidst this seemingly supreme fortune.
A trace of dark red energy, colorless, odorless, and as thin as a gossamer thread, was extremely well-hidden deep within the spiritual energy waterfall, driving straight in!
This thread of energy triggered no spiritual energy warnings whatsoever.
Like a greedy leech, it slithered smoothly along Shen Qingyue's meridians, heading straight for the Golden Core in her dantian's sea of qi!
The Blood Soul Silk-Pulling Gu!
The ultimate backup plan of that old dog, Zhao Wuji!
By the time Shen Qingyue noticed that trace of bizarre, unowned coldness in her dantian.
It was already too late.
That strand of Gu poison had already touched the edge of her Golden Core. It was ruthlessly extending hundreds and thousands of microscopic transparent tentacles, preparing to take root!
"Hehehe... Qingyue, my dual cultivation cauldron, you cannot escape in the end..."
Zhao Wuji's extremely wicked and vicious sneer exploded directly deep within Shen Qingyue's spiritual sea through that thread of Gu silk!
Enslavement!
As long as this Gu poison took root, she would no longer have any secrets.
Her body, her spiritual energy, and all her dignity would be reduced to a marionette that the old thief Zhao Wuji could manipulate at will!
Even suicide would become a luxury!
Despair swallowed her completely like an endless abyss.
Her Dao heart, which had just been pulled back from hell by Gu Yang, let out an overwhelmed cracking sound at this moment.
"No..."
Shen Qingyue's face, which had just regained its color, instantly turned as pale as paper.
In those cold, clear eyes, an extreme madness of mutual destruction emerged.
She would rather be crushed to pieces than suffer such humiliation!
She absolutely could not implicate Gu Yang, who had just saved her!
"Shatter... for me!"
Shen Qingyue bit her back molars so hard that a strong metallic taste of blood instantly filled her mouth.
She abruptly reversed all her meridians, recklessly driving that massive surge of spiritual energy that had just entered her body to crash violently into her Golden Core!
She was going to self-destruct!
A flash of hostility crossed Gu Yang's deep, dark eyes.
He never expected that this woman, having just been pulled from the gates of hell, would immediately fall into another trap!
And this trap was not shown in the intel!
"Boom!"
Gu Yang did not hesitate in the slightest.
The magical power within his body erupted like a burst dam.
His large, scorching palm pressed firmly against Shen Qingyue's flat dantian.
The Great Sun True Fire transformed into a dark golden frenzy, tyrannically crashing through Shen Qingyue's protective spiritual light and forcefully surging into her meridians!
"Gu Yang... let me go... it's too late..."
Shen Qingyue struggled in despair.
"The Blood Soul Silk-Pulling Gu is already... once it takes root... I will become a puppet..."
"Master! Guard your spiritual altar!"
Gu Yang shouted angrily, his massive divine sense acting like a sharp sword, unceremoniously piercing deep into Shen Qingyue's spiritual sea.
The blending of divine souls!
This was an extremely intimate contact, a hundred times more perilous than dual cultivation of the flesh.
The spiritual sea was a cultivator's absolute forbidden zone, the most defenseless place where all secrets were hidden.
The moment that burning sword pierced in.
Shen Qingyue felt an indescribable shudder and tearing sensation from the very depths of her soul.
"Mmm..."
Her fragile neck snapped backward, and a soft whimper escaped through her tightly bitten lips.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine!

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
