194: Chapter 194 Who's sucking whom?

"Mmm..."

The moment their lips met, Hua Jieyu's pupils contracted violently to the size of pinpricks.

She did not indulge in the seemingly romantic kiss in the slightest. Instead, she instantly activated the Hehuan Imperial Scripture within her body.

"Now!"

She roared inwardly.

A stream of pink spiritual energy, carrying her life-bound gu insect named the 'Yang-Locking Gu,' surged through their connected lips and tongues like a greedy venomous snake, madly burrowing into Xu Chen's body.

According to her script, in the very next instant, this gu insect would charge straight for Xu Chen's Qi Sea and lock down his primal Yang essence.

Then, she could wantonly absorb the vast, ocean-like energy within this man's body as easily as drinking a beverage, helping her break through the bottleneck to the Saint realm!

"Young Master Xu, your Hongmeng Purple Qi... is mine!"

A flash of triumphant, wild joy flickered in Hua Jieyu's eyes.

However.

That flash of wild joy lasted for less than a ten-thousandth of a second before instantly freezing on her face, replaced by a fear that originated from the depths of her soul.

"Boom!"

The moment her spiritual energy touched the vast energy within Xu Chen's body, she did not feel the smooth absorption she had imagined. Instead, it was as if... an ant had smashed headfirst into a towering, ancient divine mountain!

Immovable as a mountain.

Unfathomably deep.

"H-how... how is this possible?!"

Hua Jieyu was utterly horrified in her heart, desperately trying to withdraw her spiritual energy and gu insect.

"Can't absorb it? Why can't I absorb it?!"

Her proud Hehuan Imperial Scripture now seemed like a joke.

No matter how hard she urged it, the primal Yang essence within Xu Chen's body remained completely motionless, even... looking down at her coldly.

"Trying to run?"

At that moment, Xu Chen's originally tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open.

Those eyes held not a trace of lust, only a profound, starry indifference and... mockery.

"Since you're here, you might as well stay."

He murmured inwardly, and the Hongmeng Creation Art within his body... roared into operation!

"Hummm—!"

A supreme, all-governing strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi instantly erupted from Xu Chen's Qi Sea.

As soon as this aura emerged, the pure Yin energy within Hua Jieyu's body instantly trembled like a mouse encountering its natural predator, or rather... like a subject encountering their emperor, shivering in fright on the spot, even directly... defecting!

"N-no... stop..."

Hua Jieyu's eyes widened in terror. She wanted to open her mouth and scream, but found her lips were already sealed shut by Xu Chen.

What happened next completely overturned her worldview.

She felt the pure Yin essence she had painstakingly cultivated for thousands of years within her body begin to flow backward uncontrollably...!

Like rivers flowing into the sea.

It surged madly into Xu Chen's body!

"Mmmph!"

Hua Jieyu struggled desperately, trying to push Xu Chen away. But at this moment, their bodies seemed to be held together by a giant magnet, utterly inseparable.

"How does it feel... to go from hunter to prey?"

Xu Chen's divine sense exploded directly within her mind, tinged with a mischievous mockery.

He wasn't in a hurry to drain her dry in one go. Instead, like a cat playing with a mouse, he controlled the rhythm of the absorption.

One moment, he would swallow fiercely, making her feel a soul-deep weakness and tremor; the next, he would pause slightly, giving her a sliver of a chance to catch her breath, before launching an even more violent plunder.

"Ah..."

As a massive amount of Yin essence was lost, Hua Jieyu's body began to tremble violently.

The sensation was too bizarre.

Clearly being plundered, clearly losing her cultivation, yet as their spiritual energies deeply intertwined, an unprecedented, tingling numbness spread throughout her entire body along her meridians.

Her body, her spiritual energy, even her soul, were all cheering and clamoring, wanting to submit to this man!

"N-no... this isn't right... the scripture doesn't say it's like this..."

Tears seeped from the corners of Hua Jieyu's eyes. Her originally pink, seductive eyes had now become hazy and unfocused.

She wanted to resist, to regain the initiative.

But her limbs had long gone as soft as noodles. Not only did she fail to push Xu Chen away, but like an octopus, she instinctively wrapped herself around him even tighter.

To an onlooker, this posture would simply look like...

...

"The Young Master is truly amazing."

Mo Han, hiding in a dark corner, was currently sitting cross-legged. She had somehow produced half of an unfinished flatbread from somewhere and was munching on it while watching the show.

Although she couldn't understand the peril of the spiritual energy clash, she understood the situation of the "physical struggle."

"That bad woman just now wanted to bite the Young Master with her mouth, but instead, the Young Master subdued her."

Mo Han nodded with a look of admiration, jotting down a note in her mental notebook:

"So this is the legendary 'Kissing Murder Technique'? It can instantly make someone lose the ability to resist, their whole body convulsing... How terrifying. I must ask the Young Master to teach me later."

If Hua Jieyu could hear these thoughts, she would probably be so furious she'd cough up blood and die on the spot.

...

"I beg... I beg you..."

On the soft couch, Hua Jieyu finally broke down.

She felt her cultivation had already fallen from Quasi-Saint Peak to the late-stage Quasi-Saint realm. If he kept absorbing like this, her thousands of years of cultivation would be utterly destroyed!

With great effort, she tilted her head, finally creating a sliver of a gap between their lips, and let out a faint, thread-like plea for mercy:

"Young master... spare me... this humble one... knows she was wrong..."

"Knows she was wrong?"

Xu Chen withdrew half an inch, looking down at the Hehuan Saintess beneath him, who had long lost all her seductive charm, leaving only a face flushed crimson with fear.

He reached out a finger, gently wiping away a silvery strand from the corner of her lips, his voice low and dangerous:

"Weren't you just saying... you'd give me whatever I wanted?"

"What's wrong? Can't handle it... already?"

"N-no... that's not it..."

Hua Jieyu trembled all over, gasping for breath in huge gulps—a reaction to oxygen deprivation and extreme stimulation. She looked at Xu Chen's face, which was still radiant, even his aura steadily climbing, and her heart filled with despair.

This man... was simply a bottomless pit!

A monster!

"Since we've started, there's no reason to stop halfway."

A wicked arc curled at the corner of Xu Chen's lips.

He could feel that with the infusion of Hua Jieyu's pure Yin energy, the Saint realm barrier within him was loosening bit by bit. Moreover, this Yin essence was extremely pure, without a trace of impurity—simply the greatest of supplements.

"Your Hehuan Imperial Scripture... seems rather poorly practiced."

Xu Chen chuckled lightly, leaning down again. Under her terrified gaze, he drew close to her ear:

"Come, this Young Master is in a good mood today... I'll personally teach you what true... absorption art really is."

Before the words faded, he was no longer simply absorbing spiritual energy. Instead, one hand...

"Ah!"

Hua Jieyu let out a short, sharp cry, her entire body instantly tensing like a drawn bow.

The final line of defense... was about to fall.
