304: You're being way too domineering!

"What are you laughing at?"

"Young Master Xiao, what you said is rather difficult for this Palace Master to understand."

"Do you genuinely not understand, or are you unwilling to understand?"

"This Palace Master has always lived freely, unattached to the Mortal World. Where would ambition come from?"

Xiao Chen knew this was a probing question. Since he was anxious to reach the Baili Clan, he didn't intend to waste time on pleasantries and cut straight to the chase:

"A clan is annihilated, their ancestral lands seized, yet the surviving descendants live freely, unattached—isn't that somewhat laughable?"

Xu Qingshu was completely stunned, even her gaze froze, and the jade cup she was holding remained suspended in mid-air.

She absolutely could not figure out how Xiao Chen had seen through her identity when she had used the Heavenly Jade to conceal her Aura?

In the entire Xiaoyao Immortal Sect, only the Nine Grand Elders knew her identity; even the Senior Disciple, Xu Ningyan, was kept in the dark.

"How did you see through my identity?"

"It is a secret, naturally."

Xiao Chen paused, then shifted his tone, "You have indeed hidden yourself deeply, but in my eyes, it amounts to nothing.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Azure Flood Dragon Clan was destroyed by the Baili Clan, the azure dragon inheritance was stolen, and their territory was devastated. Anyone could find this by checking ancient records."

A chill involuntarily rose within Xu Qingshu's heart. She realized she had severely underestimated the man before her.

As the sole surviving descendant of the Azure Flood Dragon Clan, she had always walked on thin ice, establishing a sect among the Human Race solely for the day she could take revenge.

For so many years, no one had exposed her, yet Xiao Chen had seen through her disguise after only a fleeting glance. This forced her to think deeply, which was terrifying.

"What is your purpose?"

"Did the beautiful lady not invite me for a meeting to probe my capabilities as well?"

"Please speak plainly, Young Master Xiao."

"Do you remember the message I asked Ningyan to give you?"

Hearing this, Xu Qingshu raised an eyebrow, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Chen, flickering with confused light.

She still couldn't tell whether this man before her held genuine feelings or was merely playing games.

A smile curled at the corner of Xiao Chen's mouth. He slowly walked towards her, wrapped his hand around her slender waist, and pulled her into an embrace.

Xu Qingshu's expression became flustered, her delicate body instantly tensed, her soft chest rising and falling uncontrollably. Her small hands weakly tried to push him away:

"Don't be like this."

Having cultivated alone for a thousand years, no man had ever approached within ten zhang of her, let alone engage in such an intimate action.

Xiao Chen, however, only held her tighter, smiling enigmatically, "Then what should I do?"

"You must give me a reason."

"We share a common mortal enemy: the Baili Clan. Therefore, we must form an Alliance."

"Is the reason that simple?"

"Isn't that enough?"

Xiao Chen gave a wicked smile, leaned close to her slightly reddened earlobe, and whispered softly, "However, to make this Alliance more secure, you must become my woman."

"..."

Xu Qingshu was silent for a moment. Considering the strength Xiao Chen had displayed, he was indeed her best potential ally.

If she relied on the strength of the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect alone, the chance of revenge would be extremely slim.

Then, she looked directly into Xiao Chen's eyes, her lips parting slightly, "Do you truly like me, or are you just playing around?"

According to ancient records, every generation of the Pure Yang Sacred Body had countless wives and concubines, so many that some concubines were never even favored.

She possessed her own pride and carried the last hope of the Azure Flood Dragon Clan. If she were to become a man's subordinate, she could not and would not accept it.

Yet, she could not bear to give up Xiao Chen's Pure Yang Sacred Body, which was an unparalleled Cauldron Physique, capable of increasing her Cultivation speed several times over.

Xiao Chen did not avoid her gaze but looked at her earnestly:

"For every woman of mine, I hope she is an independent individual with a unique personality, not just my appendage.

If you are willing to follow me, one day, I will help you successfully Undergo Tribulation, complete your transformation, and fully turn into an Azure Dragon."

"Really... really?"

"Of course."

Xu Qingshu's beautiful eyes shimmered with a faint, soft light. She then leaned gently into Xiao Chen's embrace, "No wonder that girl Ningyan fell for you."

She was extremely satisfied with Xiao Chen's answer. Every word he spoke seemed like a magical incantation, making it impossible for her to ignore or refuse.

Xiao Chen's hand unconsciously tightened its hold around her, allowing her soft jade peaks to press tightly against his chest.

His nose lightly touched her reddened neck, and the unique virgin fragrance surged up his nostrils, causing his mind to ripple with desire.

Xiao Chen gently tilted up her chin, fully appreciating her unique mature charm, and then slowly moved closer to her delicate cherry lips.

Xu Qingshu's eyes trembled violently, her breath suddenly growing ragged, "That... I'm not ready yet... Mmm!"

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Chen kissed her, forcefully parting her pearly teeth, tasting the soft tongue, and greedily taking his fill.

Xu Qingshu's mind instantly went blank, her beautiful eyes widening immensely. Her small hands frantically pushed against his chest, but under Xiao Chen's domineering offensive, she gradually gave up resisting.

After a long while, Xiao Chen reluctantly let her go, licking his lips, savoring the taste.

The taste of this Yao Race woman was indeed extraordinary.

That flavor... was truly intoxicating!

At this moment, Xu Qingshu could only lower her head, a blush spreading across her entire neck.

Looking at her shy appearance, Xiao Chen couldn't help but think of the Fairy Sister; such a cold woman also had a shy and tender side when facing him.

Then, he said smugly, "Weren't you cooperating quite well?"

"You're bad!"

"I'll give you two months to prepare yourself mentally. Before I head to the Central Province, big brother wants to Dual Cultivate with you."

"You..."

Xu Qingshu proudly turned her face away, but her voice lacked its previous force, "You... are being too overbearing, aren't you?"

"It's good that you know."

Xu Qingshu's cheeks were already flushed crimson. She could only change the subject to divert attention, "Are you going to the Baili Clan?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Then I'll send you over."

"No need."

Xiao Chen shook his head and refused directly, "I have a secret technique for concealing my presence. A mystic ship is too conspicuous and might alert the enemy."

"Alright."

As the azure profound light enveloping the ship's cabin dissipated, two figures, one male and one female, stepped out.

Xiao Chen nodded to her without any extra words, shot out like an arrow, and quickly vanished into the clouds.

Only after his figure disappeared from sight did Xu Qingshu retract her gaze and look at a man standing beside her:

"Yefeng, you seem to harbor great hostility towards him?"

"Immortal Lord."

Xu Yefeng bowed in greeting, "His cultivation is merely Nascent Soul Stage First Level, yet he acts so arrogant and looks down on everyone. It is displeasing."

"He has the qualifications to look down on others."

"This subordinate does not understand. Any Elder in the sect could crush him in an instant. What qualifications does he have!"

"Single-handedly fighting nineteen Advanced Nascent Soul Cultivators, including Baili Xu at Nascent Soul Stage Perfection, and Liang Ji and Huan Yunfei at Nascent Soul Stage Ninth Level, and killing twelve of those Nascent Soul Cultivators—tell me, does he have qualifications?"

"This... How is this possible!"

Xu Yefeng's mouth hung wide open, freezing him on the spot, because he realized that although the Xiaoyao Immortal Lord's tone was calm, she was clearly not joking.
