Complete Defection: The Collapse of Jia Ling'er

"You're quite obedient. Xue'er, have you ever had a Daoist partner in the Nine Heavens?" Jiang Che asked knowingly—of course, the Jia Lan Clan wouldn't send him someone "used goods."

"N-no!" Jia Xue'er replied shyly.

"My sisters and I were part of the same team in the Nine Heavens. We were all members of the same girl group, and I was the lead singer."

"Oh? So you're a big star?" Jiang Che narrowed his eyes.

"Not a big star, just somewhat famous. Combined, my sisters and I had nearly ten trillion fans in the Nanming Heaven, and we’ve released hundreds of albums!"

Jia Xue'er had already accepted her fate and was now at ease, wrapping her delicate arms around Jiang Che’s arm with a charming smile.

This man possessed dual immortal physiques and had the backing of the Jiang Family. Aligning herself with him would surely bring no disadvantages.

"This is Yun'er, our group’s sub-vocalist. She’s also very popular!" Jia Xue'er gestured to another elegant woman beside her, whose figure was equally stunning.

"Young Master Jiang, I’m Yun'er."

Yun'er smiled as well, the two curvaceous mermaids nearly dazzling Jiang Che with their beauty.

"Very good, very obedient indeed. This young master will reward you handsomely!"

With that, he pulled out a top-grade spirit stone from the treasures given by Jiang Hong. The crimson spirit stone hung from a delicate string.

"Here, my dear Xue'er, a top-grade spirit stone necklace from your young master!"

Xue'er froze, watching as Jiang Che draped the necklace around her slender neck.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk—what a perfect match! You’re absolutely stunning, my treasure."

Once she regained her senses, her eyes filled with disbelief.

A top-grade spirit stone... given away just like that?

Even Mo Lianxing coveted such rare treasures, let alone these mermaids at the Divine Transformation realm. They were utterly dumbfounded.

"Y-Young Master Jiang... this top-grade spirit stone... is truly for me?"

"Of course! As long as you serve me well, you’ll have everything you desire!" Jiang Che declared with unshakable confidence.

After a brief pause, Xue'er’s smile turned even more bewitching. She leaned in and planted a soft kiss on Jiang Che’s cheek. "Thank you, young master. But I can’t accept this. My mission in the mortal realm is to marry you—I am already yours by fate. This spirit stone... is far too precious."

Just look at this!!!

This is what you call virtue and grace!

Even though you know she’s doing it on purpose, you still can’t resist her.

"Keep it," Jiang Che said, his tone brooking no argument.

"Mmm... thank you, husband."

The other mermaids: "???"

Wait, she’s calling him "husband" already?!

But the allure of the top-grade spirit stone was too much. The other girls couldn’t help but feel tempted—they rarely even saw mid-grade spirit stones, let alone top-grade ones.

"Hey! Jia Xue'er, have you no shame? You’re of noble Jia Lan blood! How can you bow to a human over a mere spirit stone?"

Jia Ling'er fumed. This was utterly disgraceful!

So what if it was a top-grade spirit stone? The Jia Lan Clan had plenty! Her storage ring alone held over a thousand!

Yet, her words fell on deaf ears.

One by one, the other mermaids defected.

"Young Master Jiang, Yun'er likes you very much too. Yun’er... is at your service!"

Yun'er, with her wine-red wavy hair, licked her lips seductively before moving behind Jiang Che to massage his shoulders.

"Mmm, very skilled. I like it. I won’t give you a spirit stone, but... take this Mermaid’s Tear instead. It’ll significantly enhance your bloodline." Jiang Che was anything but stingy.

"A Mermaid’s Tear?" Not just Yun'er, even Jia Ling'er was stunned.

When a mermaid cried, her tears turned into pearls—known as Mermaid’s Tears. High-grade tears could purify the bloodline of lesser mermaids, much like True Dragon’s Blood. For those with impure lineage, it was an irresistible temptation.

"Thank you! Thank you, Young Master Jiang! Yun'er loves it!"

Without hesitation, Yun'er leaned over Jiang Che’s shoulder and gently took the glistening pearl from his fingertips with her lips.

"Tsk—"

Jiang Che licked his lips. How could anyone resist this?

Once a girl learned to charm, she could rival a fox spirit.

Once Pandora’s box was opened, there was no closing it.

"Young Master Jiang, I’m Chun Chun! You can call me Chun'er!"

"Tong Tong likes Young Master Jiang too!"

The two younger mermaids, unable to resist the temptation, also pressed close.

"Everyone gets something! I’ll tell you this—your young master has plenty of treasures. Serve me well, and I’ll have many ways to enhance your bloodlines."

Jiang Che grinned, surrounded by beauties, while Jia Ling'er was unceremoniously pushed aside.

Jia Ling'er: "..."

Her eyes widened as she watched her fellow mermaids throw themselves at Jiang Che.

"Have you all lost your dignity?!"

"As the future queen of the Jia Lan Clan, I order you to return at once! Our noble bloodline does not bow to a mere human!!"

But her command was ignored.

With one elegant woman in his left arm, a beauty in his right, a stunning masseuse behind him, and Tong Tong kneading his legs, Jiang Che was in paradise.

"Young Master, does Tong Tong’s massage feel good?"

Tong Tong smiled sweetly, her delicate hands as soft as tofu.

Only the petite Qing'er stood frozen, unsure what to do.

Qing'er had never seen anything like this—all four of her sisters had defected, shamelessly fawning over Jiang Che.

"Qing'er! What are you standing there for? Come here!" Xue'er shot her a meaningful glance.

Qing'er was the team’s beloved mascot, with the most fans in the Nine Heavens. Spoiled and willful, she’d be at a disadvantage if she clashed with Jiang Che.

Qing'er trembled, her small face scrunched in reluctance. She peeked at Jiang Che, only to find the "big bad wolf" smiling at her. She nearly burst into tears.

"S-sis... I’m scared!"

Jia Ling'er stepped forward. "Qing'er, don’t be afraid! I’ll protect you! Don’t let this scoundrel intimidate you!"

Qing'er only grew more terrified. "P-Princess... you can’t even protect yourself right now. I..."

Jia Ling'er: "..."

Must you state the obvious?!

Torn between her princess and the terrifying Jiang Che, the poor little mermaid couldn’t decide what to do.
