195: Chapter 195 The Holy Maiden of Joyful Union? Perfect in Theory, Zero in Practice

"Ah—!"

A shrill scream, piercing enough to rupture eardrums, instantly resounded throughout the entire Bedchamber.

Hua Jieyu's entire body arched as if electrocuted. Those eyes, originally hazy from her enchantment techniques, were now wide open, filled with unbelievable pain and... shame and indignation.

A layer of cold sweat instantly drenched the hair on her forehead.

"Pain... it hurts so much..."

She bit down hard on Xu Chen's shoulder, tears falling like broken beads. Where was there any trace of that enchanting Saintess from just moments ago? At this moment, she was like a small beast driven to the edge of a cliff by a hunter, with nowhere left to retreat.

Xu Chen's movements also paused slightly.

"Heh..."

Xu Chen suddenly laughed, his laughter carrying three parts surprise, seven parts playfulness, and ten parts mockery.

"So after all that... you're actually a novice?"

He reached out, gripped Hua Jieyu's chin, which was already covered in tear stains, and forced her to look at him:

"Saintess Hua, if I recall correctly, just a moment ago upstairs you looked so full of confidence, with the demeanor of someone who has 'seen countless men' and is a 'Grandmaster of this Dao'."

"What's wrong? Have you already exposed all your secrets?"

"Shut up... wuwu... you shut up!"

Hua Jieyu was so ashamed and indignant she wanted to die, wishing she could crawl into a crack in the ground.

This was her biggest secret, and also her final dignity as a Hehuan Sect Saintess.

In order to Cultivate the Hehuan Imperial Scripture to Major Achievement, she had to remain chaste until she found the perfect Cauldron.

Usually, she relied on illusion and enchantment techniques to make those men spin in circles, her theoretical knowledge so rich she could write a hundred textbooks.

But who could have imagined... practice and theory are completely different things!

The books clearly stated that the feeling would be ethereal and a sublimation of the Soul. But why did no one tell her that the first time would hurt so much?!

Xu Chen did not go easy on her just because it was her first time. Since she dared to come and assassinate (harvest) him, she had to be prepared to pay the price.

"Full marks for theory, zero for practice."

Xu Chen gave an extremely fair evaluation, then hesitated no longer. The Hongmeng Creation Art within his body roared to life, and with irresistible dominance, he completely took control of this battle.

"Since you don't know how, This Young Master will... teach you hand-in-hand!"

"Mm!"

Hua Jieyu's pupils suddenly dilated.

"No... don't absorb anymore... my cultivation... my cultivation..."

Hua Jieyu despairingly discovered that not only had her body been breached, but the spiritual power she had worked so hard to Cultivate was also draining away crazily.

However, accompanying the loss of her cultivation was a kind of... extreme pleasure that made even her Soul tremble.

That was the joy of the Hehuan Imperial Scripture being completed.

Primordial Qi is the source of all things. While plundering Hua Jieyu's Yin essence, it also extremely generously fed back a sliver of Origin energy to her.

Although it was only a sliver, it was enough to cause a qualitative transformation in that incomplete Imperial Scripture!

"Ah..."

Hua Jieyu's crying gradually changed in tone.

From the initial painful begging, it turned into intermittent, irrepressible moans. Her hands, which were originally pushing him away, had unknowingly gripped Xu Chen's back tightly, her nails almost embedding into his flesh.

Her body... betrayed her will.

Or rather, this body naturally born with an enchanting Physique had, until this very moment, truly found the meaning of its existence—to submit to the strong.

...Outside the screen, within the shadows.

Mo Han was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, having finished the flatbread in her hand. She was frowning, listening to the movements inside with a serious face.

"It's too miserable."

Mo Han shook her head, a trace of "sympathy" for that female assassin showing in her eyes.

"First it was screaming, then crying, now even her voice is hoarse... Young Lord is indeed using some kind of extremely cruel torture."

"This kind of torture not only makes people wish for death, but it also seems capable of draining one's spirit and energy."

As a professional assassin, Mo Han considered herself to have seen quite a few cruel punishments, such as slow slicing, skinning, tendon pulling... but this was the first time she had seen a torture that could make the victim emit such strange sounds.

"Is this the foundation of a great aristocratic family? Even their means of torturing people are so profound and unfathomable."

Mo Han silently warned herself in her heart: never make Young Lord angry in the future. Otherwise, being dragged into this kind of "torture" would be too terrifying.

Little did she know that the woman inside, who was currently being tortured, was crying out 'no' with her mouth, but her body was already so happy it was almost reaching Ascension.

...A long while later. The clouds dispersed and the rain ceased.

The pink mist of illusion in the Bedchamber had long since dissipated, replaced by a thick, lingering, and romantic atmosphere.

On the soft couch, it was a complete mess.

Hua Jieyu lay limp in the brocade quilt like a puddle of mud. Her iconic crimson gauze dress had long since turned into fragments, scattered all over the floor. At this moment, her skin was flushed with an alluring peach-pink color, tear stains still hanging at the corners of her eyes, her gaze hollow and hazy, as if her Soul had already undergone Soul Emergence.

She had lost. She had lost completely.

Not only was she taken, more than half of her cultivation had been absorbed, and even her heart... seemed to have a piece missing.

"Ding!"

Xu Chen leaned against the headboard, feeling refreshed, as that wonderful mechanical voice rang in his mind at the perfect moment.

【System Prompt: Congratulations to the host, you have successfully subdued the Hehuan Sect Saintess, Hua Jieyu!】

【Detected perfect compatibility between both parties' Physique, triggering critical reward!】

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Imperial Rank Cultivation Technique · "Hehuan Imperial Scripture" (Complete Version)!】

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Physique Trait · "Three Thousand Maidens" (Passive: When performing Dual Cultivation with the opposite sex, gains are increased tenfold, and you ignore the opponent's Realm suppression, guaranteed to take the dominant position)!】

Listening to the System's broadcast, the smile on Xu Chen's lips deepened.

This wave was a huge profit.

Not only did he get a top-tier Cauldron for free, but he also completed his Cultivation Technique, and furthermore obtained such a... simple, unpretentious, and practical passive skill.

"Hey, are you dead yet?"

Xu Chen reached out and patted Hua Jieyu's smooth face, his actions as frivolous as a heartless scumbag.

"Wuwu..."

Hua Jieyu turned her head with difficulty, looking at the demon before her who had ruined her innocence and stolen her cultivation.

Theoretically, she should hate him to the bone.

But... when she saw Xu Chen's face, what welled up in her heart was not hatred, but a kind of... fear and reliance that went deep into her marrow.

That was the brand left behind after being completely conquered.

"If you're not dead, get up."

Xu Chen casually pulled a blanket over her. Although his tone was domineering, it carried an unquestionable majesty:

"From today on, stop being that whatever-Saintess."

"Your theoretical knowledge is too poor. In the future... just stay by This Young Master's side and properly advance your studies in 'practice classes'."

Hua Jieyu opened her mouth, wanting to retort with "I am a Saintess," but when the words reached her lips, they turned into an extremely docile sound:

"Yes... Young Lord."

Even she herself was startled by that docile sound.
