Tie them all up and take them away

The Immortal-Binding Rope!

When the system produces something, it's guaranteed to be top-tier.

The moment this celestial-grade treasure appeared, the confident expression on Jia Ling'er's delicate face instantly changed. She could feel the protective artifact within her trembling, as if facing some unimaginable horror.

Then, in the next second, the Immortal-Binding Rope flew toward her, its coils loosening as it lunged to ensnare her.

"You—!"

The protective artifact inside Jia Ling'er flared for a brief moment, attempting to resist—but it only managed a feeble struggle before dimming completely.

Before she knew it, Jia Ling'er was tightly bound by the Immortal-Binding Rope.

And the most humiliating part? The way the rope tied her up was... utterly shameless.

Her beautiful fishtail was roughly pulled up and secured against her lower back, her hands bound behind her, her long hair disheveled. The rope knotted around her slender neck before splitting beneath her chest, leaving her in a position too indecent to describe.

"AHHH!!!"

Realizing her predicament, Jia Ling'er burned with fury. This degrading pose... Damn this despicable human male!

She had never been subjected to such humiliation in her entire life!!!

"Not bad, Princess. You’re quite the beauty," Jiang Che remarked, lightly licking his lips.

With Jia Ling'er captured, the other sea clansmen could only stare in shock.

As the daughter of an emperor, Jia Ling'er couldn’t possibly lack protective treasures—yet she had been defeated in an instant???

Even Martial Gods couldn’t subdue her, yet Jiang Che had...

"You bastard! Do you even know who my mother is?" Jia Ling'er struggled, but the Immortal-Binding Rope only tightened further, and the degrading way it bound her... utterly vulgar!

"Tsk tsk tsk... Honestly, I wouldn’t mind marrying into your Jia Lan Clan, becoming a son-in-law... and calling the Jia Lan Empress 'Mother-in-Law'!"

Jiang Che’s grin was wild and unrestrained.

So what if you’re an empress? What can you do to me?

Right now, no one in the mortal realm could stop this great demon king. Those who could were barred from descending. By the time he ascended to the Nine Heavens... with the massive stockpile of points he’d saved up, his system would likely upgrade again. Emperors, True Immortals—he wouldn’t fear a single one.

Jia Ling'er, the Jia Lan Empress... Young Master Jiang not only had a taste for soft rice, but he also enjoyed it served with extra toppings.

"You... you’re finished! An emperor must not be insulted—how dare you disgrace my mother—!"

Clearly, Jia Ling'er wasn’t a rebellious girl. On the contrary, she held near-fanatical reverence for her mother.

SMACK!

A sharp slap landed on the girl’s shapely rear. Though covered in shimmering scales, the texture was as smooth as silk.

"You—! I’ll kill you!!!" Jia Ling'er screamed, her face burning with humiliation as she hurled curses at Jiang Che.

"Save your breath. You’ll need it later..." Jiang Che hoisted her over his shoulder without hesitation.

"Young Master... this is unwise! She is the princess of our Jia Lan Clan, and her mother is none other than the Jia Lan Empress! If you forcibly take Ling'er... even the Jiang Family won’t be able to shield you from the empress’ wrath!"

Jia Yue stepped forward, pleading desperately.

The other mermen who had descended to the mortal realm were utterly dumbfounded.

They were trained as deathsworn, tasked with delivering the young mermaid maidens to Jiang Che. Who could’ve guessed... the princess would be hiding among them?

"Ah, right! I almost forgot!"

Jiang Che smacked his thigh and turned his gaze toward the remaining five mermaids.

Terrified, the girls huddled together. If even the mighty Jia Ling'er had been captured, what hope did they have?

"You—come here." Jiang Che crooked a finger, still holding Jia Ling'er over one shoulder.

The smallest of the mermaids, Qing'er, shrank behind the others, her eyes brimming with fear.

The eldest, a mature-looking beauty, gripped her hand. "Qing'er, we have no choice. If even Her Highness couldn’t defeat him, the least we can do is stay by her side."

"Sister..."

In the end, the five mermaids succumbed to the demon king’s tyranny, obediently stepping forward.

Jiang Che studied them—several were crying pitifully, as if he were some monstrous villain.

"What’s with the tears? My underwater palace is already prepared for you. You’ll want for nothing. Serve me well, and I might even grant you cultivation resources!"

At this, Qing'er only cried harder.

We’re doomed. Completely doomed!

...

"You’ve all been standing so long... your legs must be tired. Since you’ve come all this way... why not visit my palace?"

Jiang Che glanced at the sea clansmen—creatures of all shapes and sizes. Some of their true forms would probably make for a delicious stew.

"Ah—no, no! Young Master Jiang, we have urgent matters to attend to!"

"Y-yes! Rest assured, we’ll abide by mortal laws. No disturbances, no trouble!"

The Dragon Palace’s influence was vast, yet even they dared not provoke Jiang Che now!

By all rights, the Nine Heavens Dragon Palace held immense prestige. Normally, they would’ve destroyed Jiang Che’s imitation palace in outrage. But now? They chose to play dumb.

Dozens of Martial Gods—they stood no chance. Better to report back to the upper realm. This Jiang Che had dared to abduct the Jia Lan Empress’ daughter. Even if he possessed an immortal body, he wouldn’t escape death.

The newly descended sea clansmen didn’t dare linger, especially the young women of fair appearance, lest the demon king take notice and drag them away too.

"I’ll go to the palace!"

Just as the sea clansmen were fleeing, a slender girl stepped forward.

Her appearance was peculiar—her left locks were snow-white, while her right side bore jet-black hair. A straight-cut fringe framed her face, with long tresses cascading down her back.

A black-and-white split, like yin and yang.

"Oh?"

Jiang Che turned, eyeing the frail-looking girl. "Fine. Jia Yue, take her inside. My palace always welcomes pretty girls!"

His smile was cryptic. Earlier, when using his Truth-Seeker ability, he’d sensed her murderous intent. Well then—he’d give her a chance!

Chi Nai’s eyes flickered with triumph. If she could get close, she could kill him.

She carried a dagger laced with venom refined from a Nirvana-stage serpent. A single scratch, and he’d be dead in moments.

Jiang Che’s grin deepened. So she had a weapon? No wonder she was so confident.

But he had pressing matters to attend to. With Jia Ling'er and the other five mermaids, he had quite the feast awaiting him.
