Beauty and the Beast

Shangguan Qianqian!

An Yi's eyes suddenly turned sharp.

Only after seeing that Shangguan Qianqian was unharmed did his gaze soften a little.

At this moment, Shangguan Qianqian was wearing a red dress identical to Murong Qinghong's, her hands and feet bound, and her mouth gagged with cloth.

Her flawlessly beautiful, cool jade-like face, with a strand of long hair gently hanging down, instead exuded a lazy kind of charm.

Her slender, exposed willow waist was so delicate it seemed one could encircle it with a single hand.

Her tall, graceful figure, bound by ropes, only served to accentuate its well-developed curves!

Her full, straight, jade-like legs were stretched out sideways due to her bound-hands sitting posture, the high slit of her skirt revealing tender white skin, a sight that could stir a feverish impulse in any man!

Seeing the ox-head's infatuated look, Murong Qinghong's lips curled into a strange smile: Didn't I lie? Isn't she prettier than me?

What nonsense are you spouting!

An Yi stopped his foolish grin and then put on a stern ox-face.

Hearing this, Murong Qinghong covered her mouth with a delicate laugh: I have to admit defeat, I'm past my youthful prime now.

The two of you simply can't be compared. Look at this woman, how handsome she is! How old you are! An Yi said seriously with a stern face.

Murong Qinghong's face darkened, veins bulging on her forehead.

She wanted to beat this beast to death!

The moment Shangguan Qianqian saw the ox-headed man, a glimmer of hopeful light flashed deep in her eyes.

It's An Yi!

From the first glance at this ox-head, she had recognized An Yi's identity.

No matter what form he took, the look in his eyes couldn't deceive.

But, we are to be married in the future. You wouldn't mind me doing this kind of thing right in front of you, would you?

An Yi, with a simple and honest demeanor, rubbed his big head and chuckled.

Vulgar beast!

Murong Qinghong clenched her teeth, yet her smile was as bright as flowers: You don't mind that I've had a child, why would I mind such a trivial matter?

Haha, then I won't stand on ceremony.

As he spoke, An Yi's large hand directly lifted Shangguan Qianqian up.

Shangguan Qianqian, standing 1.72 meters tall, appeared so slender and delicate in front of the 2.5-meter-tall An Yi, her graceful figure seeming utterly fragile.

The hideously ugly ox-headed giant, holding the rose-like beautiful girl.

A live-action version of Beauty and the Beast!

Shangguan Qianqian's face showed terror as she struggled constantly.

An Yi roared with laughter, looking at Shangguan Qianqian's full, rounded buttocks.

With a slap from his big hand, a wave of ripples trembled across them!

Haha, this feels great, looks like she can definitely bear sons!

An Yi grinned, revealing a lewd smile.

Shangguan Qianqian flushed with anger, struggling even more fiercely.

Hearing the words "bear sons," a cold light flashed in Murong Qinghong's eyes, then she chuckled lightly: As long as you like her. I won't disturb you any further, Ox-head Chen. Enjoy yourself slowly.

With that, Murong Qinghong slowly closed the door.

By now, An Yi couldn't wait any longer. He used his hands to tear apart the ropes.

Shangguan Qianqian struggled, but couldn't break free from An Yi's large hands at all.

Hahaha!

An Yi, transformed into the ox-head, continued to laugh wildly and unrestrainedly.

Then, he pulled out the cloth gagging Shangguan Qianqian's mouth.

"Don't you—"

Before Shangguan Qianqian's fearful scream could form words, the ox-head's foul-smelling large mouth sealed her cherry lips.

The scene was like cupping therapy!

Shangguan Qianqian's red dress was disheveled, already half torn off, her long hair slightly messy, tears sliding from the corners of her eyes, her jade-like hands continuously pounding the ox-headed man's chest.

But her strength was too weak; she couldn't break free from the ox-headed man's arms at all, and could only let him manipulate her.

Outside the door, Murong Qinghong, peeking in, felt she could hardly bear to watch Shangguan Qianqian's miserable state herself.

The long kiss ended.

Shangguan Qianqian cried out with a sob in her voice: "Get away, get away from me..."

"Hahaha, damn, she's so fragrant, these are so tender..."

An Yi laughed wildly, his hands roaming, crude words pouring out continuously.

Slowly, Shangguan Qianqian stopped struggling, her expression changed, and she whispered softly: "She's gone far away now."

"I heard."

An Yi revealed a mischievous smile: "Not bad for an actress, your acting is pretty good."

"You're not bad either, though your acting was a bit over the top. Polish it up a bit and I might reluctantly take you on for a role in the future."

Shangguan Qianqian wiped her feigned tears, her red lips curling up slightly.

Seeing this woman's soul-stirring look, An Yi genuinely felt a stirring of desire.

He had personally verified just how intoxicating this woman could be.

Ever since that time in the Hongtian Secret Realm, no matter what artistic films An Yi watched or which teacher's masterpieces he observed, they all seemed utterly inferior and unappealing!

"Come on, Qianqian, it's been so long since we've seen each other. Let's kiss again!"

An Yi thrust his ox-head forward, grinning wildly.

Then, his face was pinched by Shangguan Qianqian's jade-like hand.

"How many cloves of garlic did you eat?" Shangguan Qianqian chided him with a glance.

"Tsk, you endured it just fine earlier."

Though Shangguan Qianqian appeared cold and kept others at a distance,

for An Yi, she was always accommodating.

"So, what's the plan now? We're not going to fake it till we make it, are we?"

An Yi raised an eyebrow and asked.

He really didn't want Murong Qinghong to get a cheap look and see his secret weapon.

She can't look either!

Shangguan Qianqian said quietly: "Did you see the note I gave you?"

An Yi nodded: "Murong Qinghong doesn't have real authority in the Heavenly Palace; she's suppressed everywhere. Based on my guess, her own younger brother, Murong Xiao, wants to usurp the throne!"

Shangguan Qianqian said seriously.

According to the information she had gathered these past few days, the Heavenly Palace had always been dominated by the Xing family.

But ever since twenty years ago, when Xing Yunjun launched a frenzied massacre for a woman, causing the Heavenly Palace's strength to plummet,

after Xing Yunjun's death, Murong Qinghong had no heirs.

The position of Heavenly Palace Master should have been inherited by Xing Yunhai!

Unexpectedly, Murong Qinghong, a woman, forcibly seized power with the support of the Murong family.

Therefore, the outside world did not support Murong Qinghong, this usurper.

This also led to Murong Qinghong's purge of the Xing family collateral branches in the Heavenly Palace twenty years ago, causing the ruling immortal sect, the Heavenly Palace, to see its strength drastically decline due to internal strife.

Internal divisions emerged! This formed the current situation with the four great families.

And Murong Qinghong controls the Heavenly Palace with the support of the Murong family.

Thus, the head of the Murong family, Murong Xiao, has started to feel restless.

This woman doesn't even have an heir, yet wants to inherit the position. It's inherently illegitimate, a blatant seizure of power and usurpation.

In that case, why shouldn't he just become the Heavenly Palace Master himself!

Under the temptation of power, familial bonds can be very fragile!

Hearing Shangguan Qianqian's explanation, An Yi understood that the intricacies here were more complex than he had imagined.

Then, An Yi pondered and said: "In that case, what kind of medicine is this woman Murong Qinghong selling with her public search for a husband?"

Back then, Murong Qinghong didn't use the experts from the various powerful sects, but specifically picked young men under thirty as potential husbands. It definitely couldn't be simply because she was lonely.

After all, sometimes a vegetable could solve the problem, so why make such a big fuss?

Shangguan Qianqian softly revealed the secret: "She wants to refine puppets!"

An Yi: ...
